Chapter 350: Courage
Dazzling light lit up on the huge teleportation array.
When everything returned to calm, Xu Jun and Zhen Yulian appeared at the center of the array. The two of them looked at each other, and then they left the array range in a flash.
"Haha, Daozi, you are back." Sun Yiqiong's joyful laughter came from not far away.
Xu Jun and the others laughed dumbly. They all knew what Sun Yiqiong was waiting for.
However, Xu Jun and the others just kept silent and let Sun Yiqiong chatter around them, but every time she couldn't help but want to talk about this matter, they would change the subject calmly.
Sun Yiqiong brought them into a motorhome, set it to automatic driving, and finally couldn't help but burst out: "Xu Jun, Zhen Yulian, you should have succeeded, right?"
Zhen Yulian smiled but didn't say anything, Xu Jun said: "Teacher Sun, what do you think?"
Sun Yiqiong immediately said: "I got the news that you have made great gains in the Xiayunyanyu Secret Realm, and many people are eyeing you."
"Oh." Xu Jun said casually: "Who is eyeing me?"
If it was before, he might still be a little afraid. But now...
He has already caught the eyes of the old ancestor of Huashen. For a few Xiayunyanyulu, it is not certain that anyone dares to deal with him.
What's more, he is also the natural Tao son of Shuiyuan Star, and Huang Kan Zhenjun stands behind him, which is enough to deter a group of villains.
Sun Yiqiong hesitated for a moment and said, "I can't say, anyway, there are a lot of gossips." After a pause, she couldn't wait to say, "Xu Jun, I provided this information, you must not burn the bridge after crossing the river."
Xu Jun laughed, stopped teasing her, and threw out a jade bottle.
Sun Yiqiong caught it, and even her arms were shaking a little.
"Thank you." Sun Yiqiong said, and carefully put it into the space bag.
Xu Jun joked, "You trust me so much, don't you check it out?"
Sun Yiqiong rolled her eyes and said, "You can lie to others, can you lie to me?"
Xu Jun said unhappily, "Who have I lied to?"
Sun Yiqiong's eyes patrolled the two of them, humming and saying nothing.
Xu Jun felt a little guilty and looked unfriendly.
Sun Yiqiong said quickly: "Daozi, I heard that you participated in an internal exchange meeting of the Natural Dao Palace on Tianyuan Star. What was the result?"
Xu Jun smiled indifferently and said: "It's okay."
"It's okay? What does it mean?" Sun Yiqiong turned around and said: "Xiaomei Zhen, tell me."
Zhen Yulian said indifferently: "I didn't watch."
"Ah, you didn't watch, why?" Sun Yiqiong asked in surprise.
Zhen Yulian shook her head and said: "They didn't invite."
Sun Yiqiong was speechless. If they didn't invite you, you wouldn't go? This junior sister's thinking is too weird.
What else can people say about being inaction and not fighting to this point.
Xu Jun smiled slightly. Of course, he understood why Zhou Qi and others didn't invite Zhen Yulian.
That's because before the exchange, they knew that their chances of winning were not great.
Since Zhen Yulian didn't ask to watch the game, they were naturally happy to pretend not to know.
"Daozi, tell me about it, let me hear it too." Sun Yiqiong asked gossipingly.
Xu Jun laughed and said, "Why are you asking this? By the way, how did you know?"
Sun Yiqiong whispered, "It has been posted on the campus network of Tianyuanxing Natural Dao Palace for a long time. But the strange thing is that it suddenly disappeared a few days ago. I knew you must have won a great victory."
Xu Jun was a little amused. He really didn't expect that those guys on Tianyuanxing were so petty.
Looking at Sun Yiqiong's expectant eyes, Xu Jun nodded slightly and said, "Win."
He didn't say anything specific, but just these two words made Sun Yiqiong look infinitely happy.
"Great, haha, those bastards on Tianyuanxing are all arrogant. When we contact them, we are always the ones who get angry. Humph, next time I communicate with them, I must ask them carefully..."
Looking at the smug look on Sun Yiqiong's face, Xu Jun suddenly worried that Teacher Sun would not be beaten to death because of this.
With a slight movement in his heart, Xu Jun said, "Teacher Sun, are the people of Tianyuan Star very arrogant?"
"Arrogant?" Sun Yiqiong sneered, "How can they be arrogant? They simply look down on others. Humph, our Shuiyuan Star is also one of the main stars, and the two natural Taoist palaces are equal in status. But they just act superior, which makes people feel bored."
Xu Jun blinked twice, recalling his two trips to Tianyuan Star.
However, no matter how he recalled it, he couldn't empathize with them.
"No, they are still quite warm and kind to people." Xu Jun thought about it and said seriously, "Even Tang Haohong is quite polite."
Tang Haohong, that is the direct descendant of the Huashen Patriarch's family.
But even such a person never showed any condescending attitude in front of Xu Jun.
Of course, such a person would not flatter Xu Jun. When the two of them met for the first time, they had a posture of not meeting each other and not interfering with each other.
Even when exchanging for clouds, mist, rain and dew, Tang Haohong never let Xu Jun suffer a loss.
Could it be that the people I met were not cultivators from Tianyuan Star?
Sun Yiqiong curled her lips and said: "Taozi, their arrogance is also towards others. They won't even notice my transparency, and of course my attitude is bad. But you... Haha, I saw you. With their resumes, they are not idiots, of course they understand what to do.”
Xu Jun laughed and said: "Teacher Sun, according to what you said, those people in Tianyuan Star are also a group of vulgar people who flatter others and disdain others."
Sun Yiqiong nodded vigorously and said, "Yes, that's what they are like."
The three of them looked at each other and laughed at the same time.
They all know that what Sun Yiqiong said is right, but this is human nature, and even immortal cultivators are no exception, and it will become more obvious.
Facing a monk who is inferior to himself, of course he won't have much energy to deal with it.
However, if you are faced with a young man who has unlimited potential and has made it clear that he is guaranteed a golden elixir, a Nascent Soul, and even a chance to transform into a god, then few would dare to neglect him.
If you meet someone who holds a grudge, the misfortune will really be endless.
"Dududu..."
Suddenly, Sun Yiqiong's watch rang.
She glanced at it, a strange look flashed across her face, and said, "Look, it's what you said."
After being connected, the look of complaint and dissatisfaction on her face instantly turned into a smile.
"Hello, Teacher Liu."
Although the screen of the watch was not pointed at Xu Jun and Zhen Yulian, they could hear the sound in the watch.
"Teacher Sun, why didn't you finish what I told you yesterday?"
Sun Yiqiong said with a smile on her face: "Oh, Teacher Liu, the matter you explained yesterday is quite troublesome. I have tried my best to deal with it. However, it will take at least three or four days to solve it."
"No, it's too long. I'll give you two days at most."
Sun Yiqiong's brows furrowed tightly and she said, "But, I am currently receiving two junior students, and I really can't make it in time."
"This is your business." The voice on the other side became colder and colder: "You have to clearly understand the priorities of things and don't deal with me like a cat or a dog."
Xu Jun tried hard to hold back the thought of scolding.
Although he could also see that Sun Yiqiong's expression and behavior had the meaning of diverting misfortune to the east.
However, the attitude of the person opposite made him even more dissatisfied.
Sun Yiqiong looked helpless and said, "Okay, Teacher Liu, I'll do it as soon as possible..."
After hanging up the phone, Sun Yiqiong glanced at Xu Jun and said, "Look, this is how those people in Tianyuan Star treat us."
Xu Jun was startled and said: "Tian Yuan Star?"
"Yes, this is Teacher Liu Xiran who is stationed here at Tianyuanxing Natural Dao Palace. Yesterday, he suddenly asked for a batch of century-old heart-warming grass. The quantity is quite large. Where can I get it at once?"
Listening to her complaints, Xu Jun asked: "Teacher Sun, when did you take charge of this aspect of business?"
Sun Yiqiong said angrily: "I have been transferred to my post for a year and am responsible for the reception of brothers' Taoist palace. You don't know?"
Xu Jun chuckled and said, "Sorry, I really didn't pay attention."
Zhen Yulian suddenly said: "What does he want with the century-old heart-warming grass?"
Sun Yiqiong spread her hands and said: "He said that someone among the exchange students wanted to refine the elixir, but only God knows the truth."
Xu Jun glanced at Zhen Yulian in surprise.
According to his understanding of Zhen Yulian, this ice and snow fairy basically has no interest in general affairs.
But at this moment, she clearly expressed her unhappy attitude.
She didn't know whether it was because Liu Xiran's attitude made her dissatisfied, or whether she was unhappy because she didn't watch her competition on Tianyuan Star.
In short, Zhen Yulian rarely expressed her opinion.
I can't stand it!
Xu Jun thought for a while and said, "Teacher Sun, I have a suggestion."
"What?"
"Tell him that the century-old heart-warming grass has arrived, but it was robbed by Teacher Zhen. If he has the courage, let him come to Teacher Zhen." Xu Jun said with a smile.
"Ah..." Sun Yiqiong's eyes widened and she looked at Xu Jun in disbelief.
She answered the call in front of Xu Jun and acted aggrieved. She really thought that if Xu Jun could help, her pressure would be much easier.
But I didn't expect that this guy Xu Jun would be so smart and take over this grudge in one go.
Moreover, Xu Jun also borrowed Zhen Yulian's name.
"Daozi, this is not good," Sun Yiqiong said cautiously and looked at Zhen Yulian.
However, Zhen Yulian's expression remained unchanged, as if she had not heard the matter at all.
Xu Jun waved his hand and said: "The people from Tianyuan Star are indeed a bit too bullying. Since you are asking for help, you must have a begging attitude. Those who are so arrogant when asking for help should be taught a lesson."
A strange and dangerous look flashed in Sun Yiqiong's eyes.
Her temperament is far less stable than Zhen Yulian's. After hearing this suggestion, she found it very interesting. At this moment, when she heard that she was going to teach them a lesson, she nodded vigorously and raised her hands and feet in agreement.
As for the opinions of the party involved, Zhen Yulian...
As long as she didn't object, Sun Yiqiong would treat her as agreeing.
An hour later, Sun Yiqiong sent Xu Jun and Zhen Yulian back to their respective caves.
She turned around and walked in the other direction of the Dao Palace.
Soon, she came to a tall building.
Ministry of Foreign Affairs!
The Natural Dao Palace has its own Dao field on each of the seven main stars. Since the seven Dao Palaces share the same origin, they are closely connected with each other.
In each Dao Palace, there is a Foreign Affairs Department.
In addition to the Dao Palace teachers of this planet, there are also Dao Palace special personnel from the other six main stars.
The number of exchange students between Dao Palaces, the qualifications to enter the secret realms of different Dao Palaces, and the flow of local specialties, etc.
It can be said that although the Foreign Affairs Department is not the core department of the Dao Palace, it is an extremely important place.
After Sun Yiqiong entered, she glanced and immediately said loudly: "Teacher Liu, Teacher Liu Xiran..."
Her unconcealed voice was so loud that it was heard by many people.
A male cultivator in his thirties with a stern face came out and said, "Teacher Sun, what's the matter?"
The visitor was Teacher Liu Xiran, who was stationed here by the Natural Dao Palace of Tianyuan Star.
He was a cultivator in the late stage of foundation building. Among all the stationed teachers, although his cultivation was not the highest, he had the biggest show.
However, because he came from Tianyuan Star, the other teachers would be courteous to him.
Of course, Liu Xiran also knew what was good and what was bad. He had already found out who he could and could not provoke, and he would not overstep his authority. Otherwise, he would not be able to hold on to his current position.
Sun Yiqiong smiled bitterly and said, "Teacher Liu, we have already got the Hundred-Year Heart-Warming Grass you wanted, and transported it to the Dao Palace."
Liu Xiran looked slightly happy and said, "Okay." After a pause, he remembered and said casually, "Thank you, Teacher Sun."
Sun Yiqiong waved his hand quickly and said, "Oh, don't thank me yet, I haven't finished yet."
"Ah, what?"
"Well, although the Hundred-Year Heart-Warming Grass has arrived, it happened to be seen by a teacher I received. She had an urgent need, so she temporarily requisitioned it." Sun Yiqiong explained, "But please rest assured, Teacher Liu, I have placed a new order and promised to deliver it as soon as possible."
The joy on Liu Xiran's face had long since changed, becoming gloomy and cold.
I didn't rob people's things halfway, which is already a great honor for you. How dare someone rob my goods halfway?
They are really brave.
However, those who can be sent here must not be fools.
Liu Xiran said in a deep voice: "Teacher Sun, which teacher did it halfway?"
Sun Yiqiong smiled bitterly and said: "It was Teacher Zhen Yulian."
"Zhen Yulian?" Liu Xiran thought for a moment and finally remembered this person.
This is a rising star in the Natural Dao Palace of Shuiyuan Star, and he was a natural Taoist ten years ago.
A few years ago, Zhen Yulian once represented the Natural Dao Palace and had many exchanges with the other two Dao Palaces on Shuiyuan Star.
In the early stage of foundation building, she was invincible on Shuiyuan Star.
However, for some reason, Zhen Yulian suddenly disappeared in the past few years.
After thinking of Zhen Yulian, Liu Xiran's face became more gloomy.
In the Natural Dao Palace of Shuiyuan Star, there are many people that Liu Xiran dare not provoke.
The largest number of them are Jindan cultivators.
Each Jindan cultivator is a powerful third-level warrior, who can be easily suppressed with just one hand.
Liu Xiran would never dare to have a direct conflict with such a person even if he has the support of Tianyuan Star.
Secondly, there are those old-fashioned late-stage or peak-stage foundation building cultivators who hold power.
Although these people are not Jindan, they either have the potential of Jindan or have been in high positions for a long time, which makes him afraid.
But, Zhen Yulian.
This is a genius, and she is also the entry-level disciple of Guan Ziqian of the Sword Dao Branch.
This kind of person belongs to the range that can be provoked, but it is best not to provoke.
Liu Xiran was silent for a moment and asked, "Teacher Sun, do you know what the hundred-year-old warm heart grass is for, fellow Daoist Zhen?"
Sun Yiqiong cursed in her heart.
When you face me, you are like a ferocious monster.
However, when you hear Zhen Yulian's name, you become submissive, which is really disgusting.
Fortunately, he reported Zhen Yulian's name. If he had reported Xu Jun's name directly, he might not even have the courage to ask.
Although she despised him in her heart, she said without hesitation: "I don't know, but I heard her mention it, it seems that she wants to resell it to make a fortune."
Liu Xiran was startled, and his face became darker.
If Zhen Yulian needed the Hundred Years Warm Heart Grass urgently, he might also take a step back. But, resell it to make a fortune?
What kind of a hell of a reason is this?
For a moment, Liu Xiran's mood was very bad.
You want to make a fortune, it has nothing to do with me, but robbing my goods, it has something to do with me.
His brows were furrowed, although he was extremely dissatisfied with Zhen Yulian, he still kept a steady hand.
"Teacher Sun, how long will it take for the next batch of 100-year-old Heart-warming Grass to arrive?"
Sun Yiqiong smiled bitterly and said, "We have already bought out all the 100-year-old Heart-warming Grass on the market. If you want to buy more quickly..." She thought for a while and said, "Teacher Liu, I remember that the market on Tianyuan Star is the largest among the seven main stars, and the goods inside are also the most complete. You can send a letter and ask them to help purchase."
Liu Xiran looked at Sun Yiqiong strangely.
This is nonsense.
Of course he knew that Tianyuan Star had the most complete goods, and it was said that as long as there were spirit stones, there was nothing that could not be bought.
But all he needed was some 100-year-old Heart-warming Grass.
You actually want to buy it on Tianyuan Star?
What about the transportation cost? Do you really think that the super teleportation array can be easily used by anyone?
The cost of one teleportation is enough to buy five times the goods.
Taking a deep breath, Liu Xiran said: "Teacher Sun, where is the cave of Teacher Zhen? Please take me there."
Sun Yiqiong looked worried and said: "Teacher Liu, it's not worth it for some small goods."
Liu Xiran said coldly: "I will consider whether it is worth it."
Sun Yiqiong had no choice but to send Zhen Yulian's cave.
Liu Xiran took a big step and left immediately.
At this time, people in the rooms next to him came out one after another to greet Sun Yiqiong.
Sun Yiqiong responded with a smile on his face and turned around to follow.
It's not easy to dig a big hole. If you don't see it with your own eyes, you will always feel unsatisfied.
Although the Taoist Palace is very large, it is just like this for cultivators.
Soon, Liu Xiran stopped in front of a cave.
He said coldly, "Is Fellow Daoist Zhen here?"
The voice was continuous and powerful, and it was transmitted directly into the cave.
Doing this is actually a taboo.
Once someone is practicing in the cave, if they are frightened, they will jump out and fight you directly.
However, Liu Xiran asked Sun Yiqiong and knew that Zhen Yulian had robbed the 100-year-old Heart-warming Grass and left.
Calculating the time, it is unlikely that this genius swordsman is practicing.
The next moment, an even colder voice sounded.
"Who is it, what's the matter."
Liu Xiran looked at the closed cave door and became more and more angry.
I have come to the outside of your cave, but you don't even want to come out. You are really rude.
Liu Xiran raised his voice and said, "Fellow Daoist Zhen, I am Liu Xiran, an expatriate from Tianyuan Star. I heard that you just received a batch of 100-year-old Heart-warming Grass. I ordered this batch first. Please return it to Fellow Daoist Zhen."
Inside the cave, there was silence, which made people wonder whether there was anyone living there.
Liu Xiran waited for a while, and finally ran out of patience, saying: "Fellow Daoist Zhen, this batch of 100-year-old warm grass is very important to me, please return it."
This time, a voice finally came out.
"Dream!"
Dream?
Liu Xiran was stunned for a moment, then reacted, and then he was furious.
I have given you a lot of face, but you are so unreasonable, do you really think I am made of mud?
Although Zhen Yulian is very famous, she is only in the early stage of foundation building after all, while he is a veteran late stage of foundation building cultivator.
The higher the cultivation level, the greater the gap between the early stage and the late stage.
Liu Xiran is confident that even if he is incompetent, it is not a problem to take down an early stage of foundation building.
Taking a deep breath, Liu Xiran said angrily: "Fellow Daoist Zhen, are you going to be unreasonable?"
However, this time something happened that made Liu Xiran even more angry.
He waited for a moment, but did not wait for any reply.
Zhen Yulian actually ignored him.
No matter how well-rested a person is, he will be furious when encountering such a thing. What's more, Liu Xiran usually thinks highly of himself and doesn't take his peers from Shuiyuan Star seriously.
How could he bear such an insult all of a sudden?
He snorted angrily, took a step forward, and punched the cave.
The caves here are allocated by the Dao Palace to the foundation-building cultivators.
As long as they can cultivate to the foundation-building stage, whether they are ordinary students, graduate students, lecturers, etc., they have the right to be allocated.
Under normal circumstances, each cave is a private space and is not allowed to be destroyed by others.
However, if someone is angry, as long as they can bear the consequences, then they can break in by force.
"Boom..."
After a punch, the door of the cave shook violently for several times.
Then, a protective light started from the gate and went to the courtyard, and it lit up one by one, and formed a protective shield that covered the entire cave.
At this moment, a clear voice came from the cave.
"How courageous!"
