Chapter 659: Chapter 669: Garbage or Treasure?
After cutting three bamboo joints, Chu Feng carried them with him, heading towards Chuan Gong Hall.
It was conveniently on the way, because the Gui Xu Secret Realm was also located there.
Along the way, others saw the celebrity Chu Feng carrying three fresh bamboo joints. They all felt very curious, pointing and gesturing at Chu Feng.
No one knew what kind of elixir Chu Feng was selling in his gourd?
As for the strange looks from passersby, Chu Feng turned a blind eye and strolled on leisurely.
Soon, he arrived at the Inner Sect’s Chuan Gong Hall.
For an Outer Disciple to be able to come here was already a supreme honor, and also a recognition of his status by the Sect.
The mechanism of the Sect is actually like a large sieve.
It continuously filters through the over one million Sect disciples. Each time, only the elites of the elites are retained, and they receive better treatment.
Entering the Chuan Gong Hall, unexpectedly, the place was already filled with people.
Han Sheng, Lu Kuixi, and other top Inner Sect Geniuses were all present. Si Huang, who many regarded as a goddess in the nine heavens, was also there, unashamedly seated on the first Cold Jade Mat.
In the entire Sect, it would be hard to find a second person who could match Si Huang’s status.
When Chu Feng entered the Chuan Gong Hall, he immediately drew the attention of many because not long ago, he had made a big splash here.
The Divine Soul Test, reaching the Supreme Sword God Level, was truly shocking to the world.
"Hey, Chu Feng!"
Dongxue was the first one to spot Chu Feng. She immediately waved her hand at him, smiling and greeting him.
"Master Chu, don’t forget to come over and sit for a while later. We all especially want to get to know you!" Chun Hua cast a flirtatious glance at Chu Feng, her face also revealing a charming smile.
She might be having another bout of her infatuation.
However, this also proved Chu Feng’s abilities were indeed great. Because Chun Hua was particularly proud. Ordinary Sect male disciples, even Inner Sect Geniuses, would be hard-pressed to catch her eye—countable on one hand.
In the past, she had a crush on Han Sheng. But after realizing that Han Sheng was not as powerful as imagined, her enthusiasm gradually waned.
How long will her infatuation with Chu Feng last this time?
"So today is the first day of the lunar month, the day of the Chuan Gong Hall’s lecture. No wonder all these standout individuals from Inner and Outer Sects have come early to listen," Chu Feng suddenly realized.
Seeing beauties like Dongxue initiating greetings to him, he felt it wouldn’t be nice to act too aloof.
He also smiled and waved back in response.
Chu Feng pointed towards the third floor, "I have to take care of a small matter first, I’ll be back in a bit!" After speaking, he headed straight towards the third floor’s Transmission Ladder.
To the icy gazes cast by Han Sheng and others, Chu Feng simply ignored them.
Having many enemies is a good thing.
The kind of strength one has, matches the kind of opponents they get. Having no enemies means living a wretched life.
Chu Feng, who had been part of the Sect for less than two years as an Outer Disciple, was able to make the top Inner Sect Geniuses harbor such hatred towards him. This was an alternative recognition of his strength.
"It’s you again!"
The two Inner Sect Guardians, who already disliked Chu Feng, had already made an enemy of Chu Feng over a betting matter last time.
They had long harbored thoughts of deliberately making things difficult for Chu Feng.
Seeing Chu Feng arriving again, it was just what they wanted. They could use this opportunity to give him a hard time and humiliate him thoroughly.
If they could provoke Chu Feng to strike at them, even better.
With the strength of both, they would wish for nothing more.
He could definitely flip Chu Feng onto the ground with a single slap.
"I want to go up and see Elder Qiu Jizi!"
Chu Feng treated these two men as though they were nothing more than gatekeeping dogs, speaking with an indifferent tone.
"Kid, where do you think you are? Is this your family’s backyard or a vegetable market?"
"Elder Qiu is busy, and he certainly doesn’t have time to meet trash like you. If you want to go up, show us the proof of your eligibility to choose a Cultivation Technique, and we will consider it."
After their falling out with Chu Feng, the two acted with the malicious intent of petty troublemakers.
It’s easier to meet King Yan than to deal with his pesky underlings, as the saying goes—referring precisely to these two.
"I advise you two to let me go up immediately. I have something important to deliver to Senior Qiu Jizi. Those who don’t seek death won’t die. You’d best not ruin your own prospects."
Chu Feng took off the three bamboo joints he carried on his back.
"Important things? You don’t mean these three segments of bamboo, do you?" Contemptuous expressions appeared on the faces of the two Inner Sect guardians, their voices dripping with sarcasm.
"Haha, looks like there’s some excitement to watch! This Chu bastard seems to get beaten up wherever he goes. No idea what he did to offend the Inner Sect guardians at the Transmission Ladder!"
Han Sheng stood up, bringing along a group of his followers to enjoy the scene.
Lu Kuixi, who had been slaughtered by Chu Feng in the Gui Xu Secret Realm previously, hated Chu Feng so much that he itched with fury.
He couldn’t wait to see Chu Feng make a fool of himself.
Si Huang simply glanced indifferently before closing her eyes to resume her Cultivation. Faint traces of Sword Qi could be seen circling and flitting about her body. The sword lotus beneath her bloomed intermittently, flickering into existence.
"Deserves it!" Qin Shan had a spiteful smirk on his face.
"It would be best if those two Inner Sect guardians struck down that Chu bastard." Lu Qingyuan’s look towards Chu Feng was filled with Killing Intent. He couldn’t wait to devour Chu Feng whole.
Out of everyone present, his hatred for Chu Feng was likely the deepest.
Because Chu Feng had ruptured his Dantian the last time, severing all the tendons in his hands and feet. Even now, they haven’t fully recovered.
...
At the moment, everyone was waiting for the elder who would be talking about the Dao, and it was quite boring, so they looked forward to watching the excitement.
Every one of them watched with smiles as Chu Feng argued with the two Inner Sect guardians.
"Elder Qiu Jizi, I’ve brought what was in my heart, but your two subordinates are blocking me from going up. I can’t be blamed for that." Chu Feng couldn’t be bothered with the two any longer and simply raised his voice towards the upper floor.
The faces of the two Inner Sect guardians changed dramatically, and they bellowed, "This is Chuan Gong Hall, how dare a lowly Outer Disciple cause such a ruckus. You’re even disturbing Elder Qiu’s Cultivation, truly deserving of death."
With fierce looks on their faces, they prepared to punish Chu Feng and eject him from Chuan Gong Hall.
But in a flash, another person appeared in their midst.
Looking quite dishevelled, with a bulbous nose clutching a huge gourd—if not Elder Qiu Jizi, then who could it be?
"Elder Qiu forgives us; it was this impudent disciple named Chu Feng who started shouting here!" Seeing Elder Qiu Jizi descend from Chuan Gong Hall, the two guardians bowed in fear and begged forgiveness.
However, Elder Qiu Jizi did not even glance at them.
Perhaps, in the eyes of Elder Qiu Jizi, these two were indeed nothing more than gatekeeping dogs.
"Chu Kid, did you really bring the wine for this old man?" Elder Qiu Jizi’s nose twitched twice, but he didn’t smell the aroma of wine.
He looked at Chu Feng with suspicion.
"Catch! After having a few sips of your fine wine last time, I don’t like being indebted to anyone. These three tubes of wine are to pay back your favor." Chu Feng directly tossed the three bamboo joints to Elder Qiu Jizi.
This attitude was completely akin to friends in casual conversation, in stark contrast to the Inner Sect guardians.
"Damn! Did I see that right? Chu Feng actually dared to speak to Elder Qiu Jizi like this!" Han Sheng, Lu Kuixi, and the others were dumbfounded.
