Chapter 1006: Return to Zhangwei Mountain
Chapter 1006: Returning to Zhangwei Mountain
After buying a few formation books and a new fur coat, Xu Chuniang left Floating Jade City and set foot on the road back to Zhangwei Mountain.
Counting up, since the last time she left Zhangwei Mountain, half a year had passed since then.
During these half a year, she had found a path that suited her, earned quite a few Immortal Crystals, and used the Immortal Crystals she had earned to enhance her cultivation, and was considered to have completely stabilized her footing in ZongDongTian.
On the way back, Xu Chuniang took out the jade guide that she had obtained from the entrusted hall and separated a strand of divine sense to probe into it.
Inside this jade appraisal, there was a detailed record of the commissions she had issued, and all the commission hunters who had taken up the commissions, as well as their relevant narratives.
From the jade appraisal, it was easy to see that during the months Xu Chuniang had been in seclusion, quite a few commission hunters had taken up the commission, but so far, the commission was still in an unfinished state.
There were also quite a few commission hunters who had taken up the commission who had privately summoned her to ask her for more information about Little Orange.
Xu Chuniang only took a cursory glance before looking to the next commission, and as for those inquiries, she naturally wouldn’t reply to each and every one of them.
In the Hall of Commissions, Xu Chuniang posted a total of two commissions, one of which was to find someone, and the other was to spy.
The one she was currently about to view was the second one.
Compared to the first commission, the second one was much more lively, and the jade guide showed that during the time she had been in seclusion, she had received hundreds of summonses.
Seeing so many summonses, Xu Chuniang was also somewhat energized, with so many messages, she could always find some useful ones, right?
After casually flipping through a few of them, she quickly calmed down.
Most of the owners of these messages claimed that they had seen or heard of Little Orange at a certain time and place, but after she had only pressed them a few more times, these people were all over the place with their words.
These hundreds of transmissions, most of them, were actually fake news!
The other part, on the other hand, was ambiguous, speaking extremely vaguely.
There were also some people who bluntly stated that they held the exact information about Little Orange in their hands, yet they sat on the ground and demanded three times the pay.
Xu Chuniang unhappily squeezed her jade jian tightly, coldly staring at the top few messages clamoring for her to raise the price, and after a moment’s thought, she understood what was going on.
Commissions such as prying for information were not like seeking a treasure or finding a person, where one had to offer the treasure or find the person to complete the commission, but only needed to say a few words, which was considered providing information.
Therefore, many commission hunters, even if they know nothing about it, will still hold the idea of trying, and after taking the commission, they will make up some unfounded events, in an attempt to cheat the payment.
However, doing so was not without risk, once the employer recognized them and broke down their lies, it would affect the credibility of these commission hunters.
Once their credibility was lowered, it wouldn’t be as easy for these people to take on commissions in the future.
This kind of self-inflicted damage to the future of the matter, often only extremely short of money commission hunters, and some newcomers who have just entered the profession, will do so, most commission hunters, will not be for the sake of the immediate a little bit of profit hurt the credibility.
After Xu Chuniang had cited these people one by one, she simply put away the jade guide, out of sight, out of mind.
In the short term, I’m afraid I won’t be able to get any news related to Little Orange.
After two hours of sprinting, the outlines of the distant mountains gradually became clear, and the biting and familiar cold air pounced on her face, Zhangwei Mountain had arrived.
A bold laughter suddenly rang out, startling the snow on the nearby hills to rustle and fall, Gong Lao’s figure appeared in mid-air.
His eyes landed on Xu Chuniang’s body, his smile came to an abrupt end and his expression became startled, ”Girl Xu, your cultivation, how did you get to the Human Immortal Middle Realm so quickly? Or is it that you’re carrying some sort of Immortal Artifact on your body, and the cultivation displayed is not your true cultivation?”
Xu Chuniang was a little embarrassed by Gong Lao’s look and touched her nose, coughing dryly.
“Didn’t I tell you? In the past few months, I went on a closed-door cultivation retreat, and my cultivation has only risen this much.”
Gong Lao looked at the gesture Xu Chuniang compared to, covered his chest with force and took a deep breath.
“You couldn’t have deliberately sought out old man me for fun, could you? Even if you cultivate in the Immortal Ascension Stage and grow by leaps and bounds in a single day, but breaking through from the Human Immortal Beginning Realm to the Human Immortal Middle Realm. The Immortal Crystals needed are real, one hundred thousand na!”
Looking at Gong Lao with a look of breathlessness, Xu Chuniang didn’t tell him that she had absorbed a full 150,000 Immortal Crystals to break through to the Human Immortal Middle Realm.
She said in a good mood, “You know, I haven’t lost in the arena so far, very much earned some Immortal Crystals, of course, these are just additions, I’ll bet on every fight, and it’s the money I win from betting that’s the big head.”
Gong Lao thought of Xu Chuniang’s winning percentage in the fighting arena and suddenly understood, silently taking his hand off his chest.
“It’s also true that you’ve fought twenty to thirty matches in the fighting arena, if you place bets on every match, you can indeed win quite a lot of immortal crystals, it’s just that you’ve broken through your cultivation to the middle Human Immortal realm so quickly, would it be too flashy?
After all, it’s only been a year since you ascended to the Immortal Realm!”
Thinking about this, Elder Gong’s mood was very complicated.
Thinking about when he had just ascended, it took him many years to raise his cultivation from the Human Immortal Beginning Realm to the Human Immortal Middle Realm, and the amount of pain and suffering he had endured in the middle of the process was simply too much to look back on.
As for Xu Chuniang, he had watched her come to Zhangwei Mountain, and it had only been a year since then, and not only had she made a name for herself in the fighting arena, but she had also raised her cultivation by a small realm.
Cang Tian ah, what they were living in, was it the same Zongdang Heaven?
Xu Chuniang smiled faintly and blinked her eyes.
“Aside from Elder Gong, it’s not like the others know, when I ascended, as long as Elder Gong doesn’t say anything, where do the others get to know?
If anyone questions my cultivation, I can make excuses and say that my cultivation was originally not far from a breakthrough before I entered the fighting arena.”
Of course, the time of ascension was also recorded in her identity token, it was just that even the guards who looked after the Immortal Veins were not authorized to view such information.
Gong Lao stared dryly, suddenly realizing that he was speechless, it seemed that Xu Yaotou had already thought of all this before her seclusion, right?
“Alright, since you have your own idea, then I won’t say anything else, the reaction on the side of the fighting arena is pretty much the same as what you expected before.
When the news of your truce first came out, it very much sparked some people’s discontent, but as time passes, the voices of discontent are getting fewer and fewer, and they’re all waiting for the day when you’ll return to the arena.”
Xu Chuniang smiled gently, “I’ve applied for a total of five months of truce, right now there’s still a month left, I plan to stay at Zhangwei Mountain for a month before returning to the fighting arena.”
Gong Lao said without thinking, “I guess once you go back, the side of the fighting arena will have to arrange a match for you, and I’ll go with you at that time!”
“Alright, then it’s a deal for now!”
