Chapter 48: it was i

The newly opened disciple-only store had cheaper items than the low-grade list, but the effects were not as good. 

For example, there was a Qi Gathering Powder, similar to the low-grade Qi Gathering Pill, but only provided twice the intake and lasted only six hours. 

The difference is big.

Jun Changxiao shook his head and continued to look through the products. 

He soon discovered a low-grade weapon which was literally called Ordinary Wooden Sword. He was speechless. An ordinary wooden sword? This is too shabby!

Then again, when he thought about how powerful the low-grade Cold Edge Sword was, he reanalyzed the weapon. Although it was wooden, it might actually be comparable with other low-grade weapons on Falling Star Continent. 

Jun Changxiao browsed through the rest of the list, but discovered that most of them were useless. He bought the Qi Gathering Powder and the low-grade Ordinary Wooden Sword. 

When the goods were transferred to his storage ring, Su Xiaomos contribution points were also reset.

Why is there no system prompt? Jun Changxiao asked. 

The system explained: [Disciple purchase prompts are silenced by default. If Host likes to listen to the ding ding, notifications can be turned on.]

Keep it on silent.

Jun Changxiao naturally did not want to be constantly prompted by the system, which was very annoying. 

By the way, can my shopping notifications also be silenced?

[Host notifications are temporarily turned on.]

Temporarily? What do you mean?

[When Hosts cultivation improves and Sect Construction levels up, the system functions will also improve.]

Jun Changxiao asked, So when I get stronger, you get stronger?

[It can be understood that way], agreed the system. 

Jun Changxiao had a sudden terrible thought. If I fatten you up, wont there be a day where you turn on me?

The system succinctly said: [Host dies, system dies.]

So its like that. Jun Changxiao was reliefed. How much time is left on the Speed Talisman?

[45 minutes.]

Jun Changxiao tapped his chin. I can use the leftover time to visit Qingyang City, check out the so-called 1000 taels of gold reward.

Tian Qi.

Here!

This Lord is going out, lead the disciples to cultivate well.

Yes!

The Speed Talisman did not have a much longer effect time so Jun Changxiao did not waste any time, activating it before he was even out the gates, leaving behind afterimages. 

This guys speed was seriously fast, as he almost immediately appeared at the foot of the mountain. 

This item is a must have for travellers. Unfortunately, the store is not selling it, otherwise I would buy a few spares.

While speaking, Jun Changxiao had already disappeared as he rushed towards Qingyang City. 

In the mountains.

A young woman leaned against the tree and said with a shy expression, Brother Li, dont mess around. What if someone sees?

The young man called Brother Li leaned over and caressed her face. Mei Mei, there are no people around here so we wont be caught. I havent seen you in a few days, I missed you so much I skipped meals.

En. The girl lowered her head, whispering, Me too.

The two gradually embraced each other, kissing so passionately that time seemed to still. 

But the girl accidentally glanced off to the side, where she discovered that a young man was squatting on a tree, grinning crazily to himself. 

Ah!

A loud scream echoed through the forest.

Mei Mei, whats wrong? Brother Li hurried to ask. 

The girl pointed at the tree, saying in a panic, Tree Theres a person on the tree!

Brother Li quickly looked over and immediately discovered the young man. 

Eh The young man, Jun Changxiao, awkwardly scratched his head. Excuse me, Ive distrubed you two.

Brother Li angrily shouted, Who are you? When did you get

Before he could finish his question, the person on the tree gradually disappeared. Brother Li fell to the ground in fright. Holy shit Theres Theres a ghost!

He then dragged Mei Mei by the arm and they ran out of the forest. 

Jun Changxiao stopped outside the mountains and saw that even in fright, the man had not forgotten to drag the woman with him. Should be a couple sincerely in love. This Lord wishes you good luck, may you grow old together.

Oh He suddenly remembered that he was still single and was unavoidably depressed. Theres only a month before I turn eighteen. When can I leave the bachelors club?

Arriving in a different world and developing a sect was a pretty tedious process. If he could experience some romance while at it, that wouldnt be too bad. 

Lu Qianqian?

Forget it. 

This woman has some history, lets not have a joke backfire.

Qingyang City. 

Jun Changxiao stopped before the city gates.

It had only taken him five minutes to travel from the Ironbone Sect, and that was only because he had stopped to admire the surroundings, or he would only be faster. 

Eh?

Whys there another person?

Its the Ironbones Sect Head Jun. Why did he come?!

The cultivators going in and out of the city recognized Jun Changxiao as they passed. 

Sect Head Jun, a cultivator rushed to his side. Ive been having some difficulties in cultivation, I am willing to give 200 taels if you would

I dont have time.

Jun Changxiao coldly brushed the man off and entered the city. 

It went without saying that after the Hundred Sects Recruitment, he had become well known in Qingyang City. After entering, he immediately captured the attention of many. 

Jun Changxiao paid no attention to the people, zeroing in on a poster instead. 

The poster was written using classical style script, but essentially stated that the City Lord was looking for the chivalrous person who eliminated the Black Wind Stronghold and was willing to present a reward of 1000 taels of gold. The person should visit the city lords mansion to receive the reward. 

Hmn, hmn. This Lord didnt expect to get 1000 taels of gold for eliminating the Black Wind Stronghold.

Gah.

The street went silent. 

Jun Changxiao felt something was wrong and turned to look, but saw nearby passersby and cultivators looking at him with looks of disbelief. 

A cultivator was the first one to regain his wits. Sect Head Jun, the Black Wind Stronghold was eliminated by you?

Right, Jun Changxiao answered truthfully.

The people twitched. 

Previously defeating the Spirit Spring Sect in the martial arts area, the cultivators recognized that the Ironbone Sects leader relied on his weapon’s exceptional quality to win. 

Eliminating the Black Wind Stronghold?

Definitely nonsense!

Hey, Jun Changxiao said, ignoring their looks. Where is the city lords mansion?

The cultivator weakly asked, Sect Head Jun is going to get the reward?

Jun Changxiao pointed at the poster. Does it not say that whoever eliminated the Black Wind Stronghold can get the reward?

The cultivator whispered, Sect Head Jun, pretending to be the person in question in order to get the reward is dangerous. If found out, you can be thrown into prison. If the sentence is heavy, they might ask for your head.

Pretending Jun Changxiao repeated, The Black Wind Stronghold was eliminated by this Lord.

Oh The cultivator shook his head. Another one blinded by greed.

The surrounding passersby and city-folk also shook their heads.

They believed that the Ironbones leader was certainly crazy for money, willing to take risks and impersonate the hero. 

Jun Changxiao was speechless.

Ah, sentiment. He had done something to help the people, but the people had not witnessed it and didn’t believe him.

His strength and influence were still too weak. If it were the Azure Mountain Sects sect leader saying so, the public would immediately accept it. 

Sect Head Jun?

Jun Changxiao turned to the left when he heard someone call his name, where he wound Li Qingyangs father, Patriarch Li. How do you have the time to visit Qingyang City?

After a month, his imposing matter had changed a bit, as he had obtained benefits from Jun Changxiaos pointers. 

Jun Changxiao said, Patriarch Li, you came at just the right time. Lead me to the city lords mansion.

Patriarch Li was startled. Sect Head Jun, why are you looking for the city lord?

For the reward, replied Jun Changxiao. 

Gah. 

Patriarch Lis smile solidified on his face. 

After a moment, he was able to speak again. Sect Head Jun, dont tell this Li, the Black Wind Stronghold was

Not bad! Jun Changxiao said indignantly. The Black Wind Stronghold was eliminated by this Lord. Its good if you believe me, but even if you dont, first lead me to the city lords mansion!
