My Master Knows It All

1084: 280_6 1084: 280_6 Moreover, listening to this, not just the Ten Different Phenomena of Golden Elixir Great Perfection, those who were not invited could also enter the Cloud Reaching Sect and attend the grand event, as long as they challenge that so-called Sky-reaching Formation.

From a distance, the disciples of the Sacred Flower Sect, upon seeing their senior brother conversing with a cultivator of the Nine Phenomenon Golden Core and even inviting him to join their team to move forward together, were all struck with surprise.

Senior brother wasn’t exactly the warm type.

On the contrary, senior brother was famously indifferent.

Why would senior brother invite this stranger?

Gradually, as their senior brother brought the stranger over in flight, they felt the powerful aura emitted by the stranger’s Nine Phenomenon Golden Core.

The aura felt even weaker compared to the famous prodigy in their sect, who also possessed a Nine Phenomenon Golden Core, Huo Fanqi!

Many eyes then turned towards Huo Fanqi.

Aware of the crowd’s gazes, Huo Fanqi sneered inwardly.

He knew what everyone was thinking.

The aura of the person before them was indeed strong, but a strong aura didn’t necessarily equate to actual strength.

He looked towards the stranger and spoke, “I am Huo Fanqi of the Sacred Flower Sect.

Who might you be, and from which Great Teaching do you hail?”

Xiang Ziyu slightly furrowed his brow.

What an arrogant fellow.

In the world of cultivation, when encountering a stranger, it was customary to address them as “Dao Companion.” Even the Four Sons of Snow Mountain they had met before used “Dao Companion.” It seemed the cultivation circles in the Central Five Provinces and their Eastern Wasteland were the same in this regard.

However, this person in front of him did not address him as a Dao Companion.

This person, in the words of his master, clearly hadn’t been through the social beatings of the world.

Xiang Ziyu thought for a moment and felt it was irrelevant whether he mentioned the Hundred Peaks Sect or not, as the other party wouldn’t know of it, so after a slight pause, he said, “Hundred Peaks Sect, Xiang Ziyu.”

“Hundred Peaks Sect?” Huo Fanqi shook his head and said, “Never heard of it.”

As he spoke, his face showed an increasing disdain.

This stranger’s sect wasn’t even considered a Great Teaching.

How could he compare to him?

Yet these people were still looking at him, at this person called Xiang Ziyu, clearly comparing the two of them.

Wasn’t that like an insult to him!

Given a different place and time, he would have immediately challenged this stranger to a sparring match, but now, with their journey to the Cloud Reaching Sect at hand, it wasn’t the right time to issue a direct challenge.

Suddenly, an idea struck him, and he said, “Your aura seems quite good, and since you also possess a Nine Phenomenon Golden Core, care to have a contest with me?”

“How would we compete?” Xiang Ziyu asked, full of curiosity.

Huo Fanqi raised his hand and pointed forward, saying, “You and I could compete in speed.

We will both perform Sword Flight and see who reaches the gates of the Cloud Reaching Sect first.

Do you dare to compete?”

“Dare?

Are you asking if I dare?” Xiang Ziyu seemed to be greatly provoked as he called out loudly, “I, Xiang Ziyu, have never been afraid.

However, whenever I compete, there’s always a stake involved; no stake, no competition.”

Xiang Ziyu was inwardly jubilant.

He truly lived up to being the main character.

Just arriving in a new place, someone had already challenged him.

Next, he would certainly win against the opponent and claim the prize.

But the opponent would probably not accept defeat and then summon someone even stronger from their sect to trouble him.

Moreover, it would happen within the Cloud Reaching Sect where he would be after completing his wager with his master, and he would be able to unleash his full combat strength to defeat the opponent, thereby making a name for himself in the Central Five Provinces.

Indeed, this was the main character’s script.

He should just leave the group and go alone.

Otherwise, if he had stayed with his master, how would he have encountered so many adventures!

“A stake?” Huo Fanqi let out a scornful laugh, “Since you’re offering something to me on your own, I have no reason to refuse.

Just what can you put forward?

No need to show me any ordinary things.”

What things?

Xiang Ziyu was momentarily stunned.

He did have many treasures on hand, but to take them out directly…

His treasures weren’t from the Central Five Provinces, and what if his opponent detected any flaws?

Wait, that’s not right.

He had stayed in the Boundless Bloody Hell for a while and had Blood Coagulation Crystals from his injuries.

Thinking this, Xiang Ziyu directly took out twenty Blood Coagulation Crystals from his Qiankun Bag and shook them, “How about betting these?

I’ve got twenty pieces here.

If I lose, they’re all yours.”

He didn’t know whether Blood Coagulation Crystals were called by the same name in the Central Five Provinces, so he didn’t outright say “Blood Coagulation Crystals” but referred to them ambiguously as “these.”

He also had no idea how valuable Blood Coagulation Crystals were.

To take out ten pieces felt like a loss to him.

It wasn’t easy for someone to offer up a challenge, and winning only ten Blood Coagulation Crystals would be a waste, wouldn’t it?

But if he offered too many, he worried that the opponent might just take them by force.

What about the wager with his master then?

After some thought, he decided to offer twenty pieces of Blood Coagulation Crystals.

“Blood Coagulation Crystals?”

Huo Fanqi hadn’t even spoken yet, when someone from behind had already exclaimed in astonishment.

“So many Blood Coagulation Crystals!”

“The quality of these Blood Coagulation Crystals seems pretty good.”

“Just a Nine Phenomena Golden Core, and he carries so many Blood Coagulation Crystals with him?”

The onlookers’ perceptions of Xiang Ziyu turned quite bizarre.

At first, when he said he was from the Hundred Peaks Sect, they didn’t pay it any mind.

Indeed, they had never heard the name of the Hundred Peaks Sect before, and it was normal for there to be unheard-of sects among the numerous Immortal Sects of the Eastern Province.

But him producing so many Blood Coagulation Crystals was different.

Regular sects wouldn’t part with so many Blood Coagulation Crystals, let alone allow a cultivator with a Nine Phenomena Golden Core to carry them around; after all, the opponent was merely at the Golden Core Stage.

Or rather, it now being the Minor Era of Inversion of Heaven and Earth, what was the use of carrying around Blood Coagulation Crystals?

However, one thing was certain: a sect that could offer up so many Blood Coagulation Crystals was definitely not ordinary.

Huo Fanqi looked at the twenty Blood Coagulation Crystals and was momentarily stunned, then after a while, he said, “I don’t have so many Blood Coagulation Crystals.

I…”

“I have them,” the person leading the other party spoke up, “If my junior brother loses, I can provide twenty Blood Coagulation Crystals.”
