Chapter 113 How could I, An Gongfeng, be such a stingy person?
“A reward of seven points for a divine flower produced in Yin Jue Forest.”
“A reward of ten points for a star-spotted tree from Yin Jue Forest.”
“A reward of one pound of Hanyu grass produced in Yinjue Forest, the reward is five points.”
“A reward for a tree produced in the Yin Jue Forest…”
……
The bounty area was crowded with people coming and going.
Ning Yan looked at the many newly posted notices with a somewhat confused expression on his face.
“Yin Jue Lin, Yin Jue Lin, why are there Yin Jue Lin everywhere?”
“There are also cold jade grass outside, why do you want only the one produced in Yin Jue Forest?”
“If someone uses cold jade grass from outside to impersonate it, how can we tell it apart?”
……
The big man next to him obviously didn’t know him. Hearing this, he couldn’t help but laugh and said:
“Haha, I can tell from the first glance that you’re a newcomer. How can it be so easy to impersonate the products of Yin Jue Lin?”
Hearing that someone knew the inside story, Ning Yan immediately humbly asked for advice:
“May I ask what the difference is?”
The big man did not hide it and replied with a smile:
“The products they offer a bounty for are generally found in the inner area of the Yin Jue Forest. The Yin Jue Forest is filled with a strong evil aura, and the products grown there are more or less tainted by it. Therefore, their appearance and effects are mostly very special and can be identified at a glance.
Now that the black disaster has taken shape and the inner domain is about to open, there will naturally be more tasks related to the inner domain of Yin Jue Lin. However, I advise you not to be dazzled by these points.
The inner and outer areas of Yin Jue Forest are two completely different places. The outer area can be explored by ordinary people with concentrated Qi, but in a place like the inner area, even if you rush in with violent Qi, you will be defeated if you are not careful. “
Ning Yan listened and couldn’t help but take a breath:
“Hiss! Is it so dangerous?”
“Isn’t that right?”
The big man said leisurely:
“Not only are there many strange demons and monsters gathered in the inner area of Yin Jue Forest, but also terrifying monsters roaming around. There are also many warriors who have transformed from corpses or even alienated. These warriors are basically the natural enemies of living things, and some are even the violent spirits who died in the past. You don’t think that Qing Cang has only had ten violent spirits, do you?”
“Since Yin Juelin discovered it, more than 50% of the violent energy in Qingcang’s history has been lost. Even the previous city lord, Xu Jinghui, who had half a foot in the Ru Jin realm, was trapped in it. At that time, the strength of our Dean Qiao was not even among the top five in Qingcang.”
Ning Yan was confused when he heard this:
“Since the inner area of Yin Jue Forest is so dangerous, why do so many violent people keep going in?”
“The environment in the Yin Jue Forest is special, and it often produces many resources that are not common in the outside world, including those terrifying monsters, etc., which can sometimes be regarded as resources.
In addition, many warriors have fallen into it, which means that there may be a large number of skills remaining in it. The skills that can be carried and studied by the violent spirits are often very precious, and cannot be ignored even for other violent spirits in the outside world.
Not to mention that there have always been rumors in the outside world that there are even key resources deep in the Yin Jue Forest that can help people cross the Jintian barrier.
This is the main reason why so many violent incidents occur one after another.”
Before Ning Yan could ask again, there was an extremely excited shout from outside:
“good news!”
“Great news!”
“Senior Brother Tang Junwen has successfully advanced to the Violent Qi Realm!”
“There’s a third angry person in our courtyard!”
Everyone was stunned for a moment, as if the pause button had been pressed, and the whole place was silent.
The next second, it was as if the dam collapsed, thousands of waves surged out, and the sound was deafening!
Countless voices rang in my ears, so noisy and buzzing that I couldn’t hear what everyone was saying for a moment. I could only see the expressions of shock, surprise and jealousy on their faces.
That’s violent!
How many people in the entire Qingcang are angry?
Now there is one more person!
It was Tang Junwen, whom they often dealt with on weekdays!
Although Tang Junwen has always been regarded as the leader of the four heroes of Weiwu Academy, his strength is unfathomable and he has few rivals in the Qi Gathering Realm.
But no one thought that he would be promoted to violent so quickly and step into another world!
When everyone reacted, they all rushed to the courtyard where Tang Junwen lived like a tide.
Ning Yan was swept up by the excited crowd and followed them forward.
Soon, he followed the crowd all the way to Tang Junwen’s residence.
I saw that the narrow courtyard was now full of people.
Su He, Wen Botao, Feng Changping, Yao Lanxi, Lian Mengshan… There were even a lot of unfamiliar faces, but no matter familiar or unfamiliar, the strength of these people had all reached the peak of Qi Gathering, and were even stronger than the ordinary peak of Qi Gathering.
Those below the peak of Qi Gathering are not even qualified to enter the courtyard.
Looking inside again, through the open window, I saw Xue Longxing talking to Tang Junwen in the room with an earnest expression and a smile on his face.
Except for the missing Dean Qiao, I’m afraid all the heavyweights in Weiwu Academy have come to congratulate him.
If you think about it carefully, this is a violent person. He is the first violent person to emerge in Qingcang in the past four years, and he is a disciple of Weiwu Academy.
Even those warriors who have been stuck at the peak of Qi Gathering for a long time, no matter how jealous or unwilling they are, can only put away their complicated emotions at this time and come to congratulate each other.
This is not only to win over the new and hot-tempered people, but also to seek a chance of breakthrough for oneself through the other party’s promotion experience.
With so many people in this yard at the peak of Qi concentration, who wouldn’t want to break through the Qi burst?
As for those ordinary disciples, they were simply happy about this matter. After all, after Tang Junwen achieved the level of violent qi, the entire Weiwu Academy would have three violent qi, and the momentum would be fierce.
As part of the Weiwu Academy, how could they not feel proud?
Even when walking outside, your back can be straighter.
Listening to the excited discussions of the warriors around him, watching the many warriors at the peak of Qi Gathering bowing and congratulating Tang Junwen after the door of the courtyard opened, and feeling the obvious violent aura emanating from him, Ning Yan’s mood was quite complicated for a moment.
He had just mastered the “Void Swallowing Heaven Art” and felt that he had gained a lot and was very satisfied.
But now, seeing others achieve great success and enter the higher realm he desired, to be honest, he still felt a little jealous.
Especially in the previous battle to capture the evil cultivators, he found that although Tang Junwen’s fighting ability was strong, it was not ridiculously strong.
He felt that he could defeat the opponent.
But now the other party has become furious before him.
Ning Yan sighed, knowing that this comparison was actually meaningless.
Because he had only truly reached the peak of Qi Gathering yesterday.
If there were shackles in breaking through the Violent State, he had been trapped for less than a day.
But what about Tang Junwen?
He had reached the peak of Qi Gathering at least three years ago.
That was more than a thousand days and nights, more than a thousand days of confusion and torment.
Compared with this, what is this mere day?
He has endured hardships and successfully reaped the fruits of victory, so we should celebrate for him.
How could I, An Gongfeng, be such a stingy person?
As soon as he thought of this, Ning Yan felt that the haze in his heart had disappeared, and his eyes suddenly became clear, and even the shackles of his realm seemed to have loosened a little.
He strode out of the crowd, entered the courtyard, and sincerely congratulated Tang Junwen who was greeting everyone.
As there were so many people at the scene and the number was still increasing rapidly, Xue Longxing simply announced on the spot that a grand celebration would be held in the hospital to congratulate Tang Junwen on his promotion, and all food and drink expenses would be paid for by the hospital.
As soon as he finished speaking, the whole audience cheered.
Then a large number of chefs from nearby restaurants were invited to come and cook for the warriors in the courtyard. Huge amounts of exotic monster meat and even fine wine made from precious medicinal herbs were continuously delivered.
In an instant, the entire Weiwu Courtyard was filled with the aroma of meat and wine.
For this meal alone, in order to satisfy so many warriors, even some warriors from outside who came to eat and drink for free, Xue Longxing spent at least tens of thousands of taels of gold, but he didn’t care about it at all.
In addition to the celebration within the hospital, as the news spread, more and more families, martial arts schools and even gangs came with gifts to congratulate.
The series of celebrations lasted for four days.
As the core figure of the celebration, Tang Junwen was busy all the time. He met countless family patriarchs, heads of powerful forces, people at the peak of Qi gathering, etc. all day long. His face was almost frozen with smiles.
He never expected that the biggest hardship after being promoted to a high position would be socializing. If he had known this would happen, he would have kept it a secret. Although everyone had good intentions, these simple social interactions were really too tiring.
Tang Junwen seized the opportunity and slipped away to a deserted corner of the yard, enjoying the rare peace and comfort.
Although he knew that he would have to receive the patriarchs of four other small families in the afternoon, reject the marriage proposal from the city lord, decline the invitation from the Huwei Escort Agency to guard the city and the commission to deliver goods for a large sum of money, etc., there were simply a lot of things to do.
But at this moment, at least this short quarter of an hour, at least belongs to him.
Tang Junwen leaned against a big tree. The breeze blew, the shadows of the leaves swayed, and spots of light fell on his face, making him feel extremely comfortable. Invisibly, even the huge amount of pressure accumulated from many social engagements was relieved a lot.
At this moment, there was a crisp “crunch” sound, and hurried footsteps suddenly came from nearby. Tang Junwen couldn’t help but frowned slightly.
It’s such a remote place that even people who want to have sex in the wild for excitement are not even allowed to do so. How could anyone come here?
He pressed his left hand on the ground, his vital energy moved slightly, and he was ready to perform “Phantom Steps” and quickly leave here before the newcomer saw him.
After all, his fame has soared in the past few days, and there is almost no one in Weiwuyuan who doesn’t know him. When he sees the visitor, he might have to socialize again. He is already very tired and just wants to say less.
However, the familiar figure that appeared at the corner made him pause slightly.
“An Gongfeng, why are you here?”
Tang Junwen looked at Ning Yan, who looked hurried, and asked in surprise.
Ning Yan was also startled when he saw Tang Junwen standing under the tree, and immediately replied:
“I was just catching a hornworm and saw it coming this way. Did you see it?”
“A hundred-ringed bull?”
Talking about common names, Tang Junwen shook his head:
“I haven’t seen it.”
The Hundred-Ringed Bullfrog is an insect that is good at digging holes. It prefers dark and humid places and is extremely fast. It is difficult to catch it even with ordinary Qi gathering. However, this thing can be used to prepare a large amount of medicine, so there has always been a reward for it in the hospital.
When he was short of points in the past, Tang Junwen had gone out of his way to catch this thing. He knew very well how troublesome it was to catch it.
The opponent hides underground and rarely shows up. However, he is very fast and weak. You cannot use too much strength when grabbing him. You must have accurate eyesight. If he is killed by shock, all your efforts will be in vain. Seeing Ning Yan looking around on the ground, with an attitude that he will not give up until he achieves his goal, Tang Junwen couldn’t help but smile and persuade him:
“An Gongsheng, the perception of the Hundred Rings Ox is very sharp. You have to keep a close eye on it. It won’t show up at all. You have to let it feel safe and no one is paying attention. Only then will it carefully stick its head out. This is all based on experience.”
Ning Yan felt a little discouraged when he heard this:
“I thought catching bugs was pretty easy, but I didn’t expect it to be so troublesome. Never mind, let’s just ignore it for now.”
Ning Yan looked up at Tang Junwen and asked in surprise:
“Brother Tang, there must be a lot of people out there who want to see you, right? Why are you hiding here?”
“You used the word dodge very well.”
Tang Junwen smiled bitterly and shook his head, then briefly talked about his troubles.
Ning Yan couldn’t help but laugh after hearing this:
“This is truly a happy trouble. If it were someone else, they might even wish for more. Actually, I can understand that. After all, he is the first new Rage Realm master in four years. Many people want to see something new, listen to his teachings, and try out his moves. To be honest, even I want to see the power of the Rage Realm.”
“This…if it’s An Gongsheng, it’s not impossible.”
Tang Junwen thought about it and suddenly responded.
“Ok?”
Ning Yan didn’t react for a moment.
Tang Junwen smiled and said:
“You and I have fought side by side before, and we roughly know each other’s strength. I have just been promoted to the Violent Qi level, and to be honest, I have not yet fully understood my own strength. If it were an outsider, I might accidentally hit him too hard and kill him. Even if he didn’t kill him, it would be very damaging to our friendship if he injured him.”
Having said this, he glanced around and said:
“How about this, it’s not good to make too much noise here and attract people here, so let’s fight each other. I’ll attack you, and then you attack me. This way you can roughly feel the difference between the peak of Qi Gathering and the Qi Rage. If you encounter the Qi Rage in a battle in the future, at least you will have a better idea.”
Ning Yan clasped his hands together and responded excitedly:
“Then I’ll ask Brother Tang to give me more advice!”
Tang Junwen smiled:
“An Gongfeng, you better be ready, I’m about to attack.”
Ning Yan nodded solemnly, and the vital energy in his body swirled wildly. In an instant, the “Four Symbols True Art” was superimposed on the “Void Swallowing Heaven Art”, directly maxing out his physical defense.
Seeing that he was ready, Tang Junwen did not hesitate. His figure was like a breeze and he came close in the blink of an eye. Without any hesitation, he slapped the arms that were blocking in front of him with his right hand.
There was a muffled sound.
Ning Yan slid backwards quickly, retreating three or four feet before he stopped.
The two legs left two deep drag marks on the ground.
He shook his arms and felt unbearable pain in the middle of his palms, as if he was hit by a sledgehammer.
He couldn’t help but ask out loud:
“How much strength did you use just now?”
“Seventy percent.”
Ning Yan breathed a sigh of relief.
Tang Junwen continued:
“But I didn’t use any martial arts.”
Ning Yan’s expression suddenly froze.
The defensive power comparable to that of the “Vajra Indestructible Body” could only block 70% of the force of an early-stage violent attack without using any martial arts.
You have to know that there are many people of the same level whose physique is far inferior to his.
No wonder the violent attack on the peak Qi Gathering Stage is like a grandfather beating his grandson.
This fucking gap is too big.
“We still have to get the “Dragon Elephant Tyrant”!”
“I’m afraid only top-notch body-refining techniques like the Dragon Elephant Tyrant Body can withstand the full-force violent anger!”
After Ning Yan understood the difference, Tang Junwen continued:
“Next, I’ll let you feel the defensive power of the rage.”
“Use your strongest move to attack me.”
Ning Yan looked at Tang Junwen, who was standing still and with dignity, and took a deep breath.
“I understand!”
The terrifying vital energy instantly spread throughout his body.
“Burning Flame Vitality!”
The vital energy suddenly became hot, surging like fire, and as fierce as hell!
“Combined attack technique!”
Brothers, power transmission, layer upon layer, four symbols become one!
“Whirlwheel power!”
Three turns! Five turns! Seven turns——
“and many more!!”
Tang Junwen interrupted suddenly.
Ning Yan looked over with surprise.
Tang Junwen signaled with his eyes and said softly:
“An Gongfeng, look over there, is that the Hundred Rings Bull you want to catch?”
Ning Yan released his strength and turned to look in the direction Tang Junwen indicated.
I saw a black, soft insect trying to crawl out from the corner of the wall.
As if it had sensed the gaze coming from this side, it suddenly leaped out with a whoosh, at an extremely fast speed.
“Fuck! Want to run?”
“Stop!”
Ning Yan chased after him fiercely.
It was not until his figure completely disappeared that Tang Junwen wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, his heart still filled with shock.
Just when Ning Yan was about to make a move, he suddenly felt a huge fear of facing death.
This feeling of fear had saved him from desperate situations many times before.
So he reacted instantly and realized that he definitely couldn’t take on that move from the opponent.
Just then, Baihuan Niuzi showed up and managed to fool him.
But after Ning Yan left, Tang Junwen’s heart was still filled with extreme shock and confusion.
He naturally knew that Ning Yan was extremely powerful.
Those who can pass the five sounds of Xiongwen must be the most outstanding ones among the people at the peak of Qi Gathering.
But no matter how bravely he thought about it, he never thought that the other party’s strength could actually kill Baoqi.
It was clear that he had not displayed such terrifying attack power when he was rounding up that group of evil cultivators not long ago.
Could it be that he has made great progress during this period of time?
Is there no limit to this person’s ability to improve? !
Looking at the two long drag marks on the ground, Tang Junwen slowly made up his mind.
After turning back, he informed Xue Longxing, closed the door to visitors, and went into deep seclusion.
As the first new rising star in Qingcang in the past four years, Tang Junwen has his own pride.
No matter what, he must not lose to someone at the peak of Qi Gathering.
Never!
Ning Yan didn’t know about Tang Junwen’s psychological transformation. He chased Niu Zi all the way but ultimately failed to catch him. He felt very sad. Two days later, he offered several bounties and barely managed to get his points to 1,300.
He has almost completed all the tasks in the bounty area, and there are fewer and fewer tasks suitable for him to do.
This gap of 200 points is like an insurmountable chasm, making people extremely desperate.
“It seems that we have to go to Yin Jue Forest.”
Ning Yan glanced at the many bounties related to Yin Jue Lin. Even if he only completed one-third of them, it would be more than enough to get 200 points.
Although the inner area of Yin Jue Lin is dangerous, he is not without advantages compared to outsiders.
“The Art of Swallowing the Sky with Nothingness” comes with a chapter on perception, which seems to be able to be used in Yin Jue Lin.
In addition, the Yin Fire Qi and even the Yang Fire Qi in the “Burning Flame Secret Book” that he had learned previously were also of great benefit to exploring the Yin Jue Forest. Now that he has mastered the “Burning Flame Secret Book”, he can change the properties of the Qi at any time and explore flexibly.
Just as Ning Yan was about to inquire about more information about the inner area of Yin Jue Forest, a warrior holding a wide notice rushed towards the bounty area and shouted loudly:
“A-level bounty! A-level bounty!”
“The latest bounty issued by the dean!”
“The inner area of Yin Jue Forest has been opened! A high reward for Blood Dragon Ganoderma!”
“Five hundred points per plant!”
“Unlimited collection!!!”
