Chapter 193: Chapter 191 Dragon God Immortal Palace
âAh, this!â
Yang Genshuo hadnât even noticed that the Earth Spirit Pavilion under Yang Fu was so unreliable; he thought Yang Fu was quietly cultivatingâŠ
âThis is just too unreliable. Not teaching new disciples is one thing, but being neck-deep in debt?â
âNext time I come back, Iâll browse through each of your character cards to see what demons and monsters you are!â
âLooking at it this way, Xiao Shuoâs master, Du Yuyan, seems incredibly reliable!â
Outside, disciples from the Heavenly Spirit Pavilion kept hammering at the protective array, and Yang Fu had no choice but to open the doors of the Spirit Pavilion and step out.
Outside was a burly man, brimming with Earth Spiritual Power so dense it seemed as if he was one with the earth itself, his every move invoking the might of the land.
âSo, he is an Earth Cultivator⊠at the peak of the Foundation Establishment. No wonder it felt like the earth was shaking.â
Yang Genshuo glanced at the debt collectorâs character card and couldnât help but click his tongue.
Heavenly Spirit Root cultivator, frightening talent!
No wonder heâs from a genius camp, much fiercer than the monster camp at the Earth Spirit Pavilion.
The Heavenly Spirit Root cultivator named Yuan Shou eyed Yang Fu with suspicion.
âWhich demon are you transforming from? Donât play dumb with me about the Earth Spirit Pavilionâs debt scenario! I donât buy it!â
Just as Yang Fu was about to explain, his way was blocked; he couldnât imagine what previous manipulations his senior brothers and sisters and pavilion masters had concocted to dodge debtsâŠ
He said with a bitter smile, âSenior brother, but I really am new here. Iâm Yang Fu, just joined the pavilion a few days ago, came up from the Immortal Path competition.â
âThen let your manager come out.â
âTheyâre all out, leaving only me here.â
âThen you are acting as the Pavilion Master? Alright, alright, you must repay today! Your Earth Spirit Pavilion has owed so many Spirit Stones, delaying year after year. I wonât count the interest, just repay the principal to us!â
Yang Fu was also puzzled.
âHow much do we owe in Spirit Stones exactly?â
The previous five pavilions that came to collect debts were a bit more polite, not that fierce, and seeing Yang Fuâs fresh and naive look, they were content to just pass the message to the Pavilion Master without going into detail.
âYou owe our Heavenly Spirit Pavilion 20,000 Spirit Stones!â
Hearing this number, Yang Fu straightened up slightly, a Batman-like confident smile appearing on his face.
âIf itâs just 20,000 Spirit Stones⊠itâs not too big of a deal. I can settle it first on behalf of my sect, so as not to always let them say our Earth Spirit Pavilion has a bad reputation, which hurts me as the acting Pavilion Master.â
Yang Fu decided to pay out of his own pockets, then when the pavilion masters returned, heâd claim some benefits to improve himself, which would also be worthwhile.
âOh? Alright! Then bring out 20,000 Mid Grade Spirit Stones, and Iâll give you the pavilion masterâs IOU.â
âHm? Mid Grade Spirit Stones?â
âYes! What else? Did you think I, Yuan Shou, would come demanding 20,000 Low Grade Spirit Stones?â
âCough cough, Brother Yuan, might I ask what the exchange rate is between Low Grade and Mid Grade Spirit Stones?â
â1,000 Low Grade Spirit Stones can be exchanged for 1 Mid Grade Spirit Stone⊠Eh? Deputy Pavilion Master Yang, what are you packing up?â
Yang Fu bent down to tidy the parcel he had brought with him.
âNothing⊠Iâm heading to the Fire Cloud Pavilion.â
Damn, a debt of 20 million Low Grade Spirit Stones, might as well repay with my life!
Time to skedaddle.
Canât stay in this Earth Spirit Pavilion for another day!
Better hurry to the Fire Cloud Pavilion!
If the Fire Cloud Pavilion doesnât want me either, Iâll go hustle a job at the Spiritual Plant Pavilion⊠better than being saddled with a 20 million Low Grade Spirit Stone debt alongside a bunch of demons and monsters!
Darn these people!
As soon as the Pavilion Master said âLetâs go out,â not a single one wanted to stay behind⊠Yang Fu thought they were all united, but it turned out they were united in dodging debts!
Whoever stayed would have to face a 20 million Low Grade Spirit Stone debt!
Oh no!
This is just the debt from the Heavenly Spirit Pavilion, the others didnât give details; who knows how much more there might be!
âDeputy Pavilion Master Yang, about this debtâŠâ
Yuan Shou still eyed Yang Fu eagerly; this was the only Earth Spirit Pavilion cultivator he had met who didnât feign ignorance or stupidity. If this worked out, he might also get a share of the Spirit Stones.
âWhat Pavilion Master? What debt? Ababa ababa~â
Yang Fu slung his parcel on his back and ran.
âBro, wait up for me!â
Yang Fushuo also ran out, leaving the Earth Spirit Pavilion empty.
Upon seeing this, Yuan Shou kicked the ground forcefully and left as well.
After a whileâŠ
The Yang brothers sat next to the Nine Heavens Cloud Ladder, their faces filled with sighs.
The Fire Cloud Pavilion not only rejected him, but upon hearing that someone from the Earth Spirit Pavilion had arrived, they almost locked the place up and didnât let him leaveâŠ
However, after some explanations, the Fire Spirit Pavilion still let him leave, and the Deputy Pavilion Master, a Douyang Cultivator, having recruited him during the competition for the Immortal Path, gave him three pieces of advice.
âWork hard for Spirit Stones.â
âThe Cloud Hidden Spirit Sectâs pavilions are self-financing, with each cultivator responsible for their income and expenses.â
âDebts are the same! They can only be repaid with the efforts of each of you cultivators.â
Yang Fu felt utterly cursed, suddenly burdened with so much debt without having done anything.
No wonder when the Heavenly Spirit Pavilion didnât choose him initially, the Deputy Pavilion Master of the Earth Spirit Pavilion was immediately joyful and took him in readily, without any competition from other pavilions.
Apparently, it was because they needed someone to repay debtsâŠ
However, the trip to the Fire Cloud Pavilion wasnât entirely fruitless for Yang Fu, as he at least learned the reason behind the Earth Spirit Pavilionâs huge debts from the Douyang Cultivator.
Dragon God Immortal Palace.
The legendary residence of the Dragon Clanâs deity, who, like the Dragon Clan, loves to collect treasures, is said to house rare treasures collected over ten thousand years!
According to Long Hong, the Pavilion Master of the Earth Spirit Pavilion, who swore on the honor of the Dragon Clan, there were undoubtedly rare treasures inside, including many exotic items now untraceable!
Merely taking a few items out could be treasures for those at the Golden Core Stage!
The palace was also discovered by Long Hong, and its location is extremely concealed; without his Dragon Clan bloodline, he would never have sensed it.
When he first discovered this Immortal Palace, Long Hong was extremely excited!
He organized all members of the Earth Spirit Pavilion to break through the Immortal Palace; after numerous challenges, they reached a critical decryption challenge.
Named âUnknown Treasure.â
The Dragon Clan loves treasures, and their ultimate wish is to collect all the spiritual treasures in the world under the Dragon Clan!
Outsiders who wish to enter must contribute an abundance of treasures that the Dragon Clan has never possessed before.
From a new Spirit Medicine to a Heaven and Earth Spiritual Object.
As long as itâs something the Dragon Clan has never owned before, throwing it in would be useful until the progress bar of the âUnknown Treasureâ is filled, allowing the Immortal Palace to be opened.
The Spirit Miao Continent has a long history, spanning tens of thousands of years, with most spiritual objects being passed down from ancient times, including extinct species, but new species are rare.
For instance, some ancient elixir recipes have miraculous effects, but even if dug from secret realms or ruins, they canât be concocted because certain Spiritual Medicines have long been extinct.
The Human Clan cultivators have heavily exploited many places, posing significant threats to natural habitats, with many naturally growing items now untraceable.
Some Spirit Beasts have also lost their lineages.
On the other hand, some age-old classic elixir recipes are still in use due to irreplaceable effects, such as the Nourishing Yuan Pill, which Qi Refinement Stage Cultivators have been taking for ten thousand years.
Thus, when Long Hong led people to the Immortal Palace to deposit treasures, many items were swallowed up without increasing the progress.
Itâs not that there arenât any new items in the Immortal Cultivation World, the Earth Spirit Pavilion has many rare items; after understanding the rules for determining âUnknown Treasuresâ at the Dragon God Immortal Palace, they began throwing in never-before-seen treasures⊠some progress was achieved.
But after all the rare and exotic treasures of the Earth Spirit Pavilion were depleted, the progress only reached twenty percent, far from the standard needed to open the Immortal Palace.
Seeing this, Pavilion Master Long Hong reluctantly gave up the idea of the Earth Spirit Pavilion developing the Dragon God Immortal Palace independently, opting to collaborate with other Spirit Pavilions instead, swearing by the Dragon Clanâs keen sense of smell that the profits would far exceed the invested treasures!
The Dragon Clanâs sense of smell is recognized in the Immortal Cultivation World as being extremely sensitive; anyone possessing rare treasures simply canât escape the Dragon Clanâs natural perception, even through a storage ring.
So, the heads of other Spirit Pavilions were tempted. After all, it was the Dragon God Immortal Palace!
Possessing treasures that could last a lifetime for a Golden Core cultivator.
But as the investment was massive, there were still some hesitations. What if it couldnât be opened?
This made the Earth Spirit Pavilion desperate!
They had already invested a huge amount of rare and exotic treasures!
Both useful and useless ones had been thrown in!
And the Immortal Palace swallowed them without reciprocating!
If the others couldnât keep up with the investment, that twenty percent progress would be wasted!
The only option was to rally all the Spirit Pavilions to invest together until the progress reached one hundred percent, allowing the Immortal Palace to be opened, and then⊠everyone would benefit!
At that time, Long Hong promised,
âIf it cannot be opened, all the losses will be borne by our Earth Spirit Pavilion, and our pavilionâs disciples will work for generations to repay you; but if it opens, our Earth Spirit Pavilion must get the lionâs share of the treasure!â
He was determined, ready to go all in; without madness, one cannot survive!
