He had earned quite a lot of Sword Pavilion Coins from the inner disciples and core disciples of the Ascendant Cloud Sword Pavilion, but he felt that they were not of much use to him. So, he had spent most of them on Basic Immortal Pills for Dan Xiaotian and Bai Ruanqing.
Even if he had some left over, he would not be able to retrieve them from his Ethereal Token.
It could be said that he was completely destitute at the moment.
However, since he was able to ride on the Seven Star Pavilion's aerial immortal beast, the rest was not a problem at all. In any case, he was only leaving the next day.
With such thoughts in mind, he asked, "How much will it cost?"
"Only the head of the Seven Star Pavilion is qualified to ride on the aerial immortal beast, and considering how far away it is from the Sea of Exiled Stars, it will cost at least … twenty thousand Ethereal Coins!"
The elder said after a moment of calculation.
"Twenty thousand?"
Zhang Xuan frowned.
True Immortal realm Ethereal Tokens only cost two hundred each. Twenty thousand Ethereal Coins was more than enough to purchase a True Immortal artifact.
It had to be said that the price was extremely high.
"Un." The elder nodded. "To tell you the truth, I'll take ten thousand Ethereal Coins from the Seven Star Pavilion. However, without my recommendation, even if you have twenty thousand Ethereal Coins, you won't be able to establish a connection with the Seven Star Pavilion! "
Zhang Xuan nodded.
He was just an outsider, so there was no one in the Seven Star Pavilion whom he knew. If he did not rely on the elder, he would not even have known about the Seven Star Pavilion.
"Alright, I'll go make the necessary preparations right now. I'll look for you later!"
Nodding his head, Zhang Xuan turned around and headed back to the chamber.
As long as he did not get caught by the Hall of Gods, spending some money was nothing. As for how he could earn money, there was a dueling ring in the Ethereal Hall. Given his strength, it should not be too difficult for him to earn money.
As long as he did not expose his Gods' Sword Intent, the Hall of Gods might not be able to find him.
After setting up an Isolation Formation in the silent chamber, he entered the Ethereal Hall with a thought.
The layout of the illusory Ethereal Hall was almost identical to the one in the real world.
Biyuan City was a top-tier city on the Forsaken Continent, and it was filled with experts. True Immortal realm experts could be considered as the strongest in Wuhai City, but there were many of them in Biyuan City. As such, the dueling ring was always packed with people.
After registering his name, Zhang Xuan arrived at the dueling ring in less than ten minutes.
…
"Elder, will the Seven Star Building really send people to the Sea of Exiled Stars?"
After Zhang Xuan left, the waitress looked at the elder curiously.
Starchaser Palace didn't have a good relationship with the other Six Sects, so why would they send someone over?
"This is internal information. Do not leak it! I heard that the sect master is heading there personally to discuss something important … "the elder said.
He was in charge of the Ethereal Hall in Biyuan City, and his cultivation had already reached Heavenly High Immortal realm. However, he was still unaware of the internal affairs of the Seven Star Pavilion.
"Oh …"
Hearing that it was a secret, the attendant dared not probe any further. With a smile, he changed the topic and asked, "May I know if that fellow is able to fork out 20,000 Ethereal Coins?"
"Heh!"
The elder scoffed. "It's impossible for anyone who isn't a Heavenly High Immortal to take it out!"
"Then …" The waiter blinked his eyes.
"Let him back off in the face of difficulties! It only takes a month to ride on an ordinary immortal beast, and the price won't exceed 200 Ethereal Coins. Who would be willing to pay a hundred times the price just to save twenty days? "the elder shook his head.
At their level of cultivation, they could easily go into seclusion for several months … To save twenty days, was he insane to waste 20,000 Ethereal Coins?
"That's true …" The attendant nodded. "Furthermore, judging from his tone, it seems like he doesn't have enough money, so he asked you to wait here for a moment and think of a way to earn some money!"
The elder harrumphed. "The best way to earn money in the Ethereal Hall is through dueling matches. Based on the wager of five Ethereal Coins, the winnings will be doubled. Even if he wins five matches consecutively, he won't be able to earn much. Besides, the core disciples of the Seven Star Pavilion often come here to duel, and there aren't many who can win four matches consecutively. "
As the Ethereal Hall of Biyuan City was closely related to the Seven Star Pavilion, the core disciples of the Seven Star Pavilion would often participate in dueling matches.
With them around, it was rare for anyone to win four matches consecutively, let alone five.
"Even if you win five matches consecutively, you'll only earn 80 Ethereal Coins at most. You're still a long way from reaching 20,000 Ethereal Coins," the attendant said with a smile.
The dueling fee of the Ethereal Hall wasn't too ridiculous, only five Ethereal Coins. This way, it would attract more people to participate in the dueling matches.
If one won a match, the wager would be doubled, and the next person who wished to challenge the Ethereal Hall would have to pay an even higher price.
The elder smiled faintly. "Alright, I'm going to rest first. Call me if you need anything …"
After saying those words, he turned around and headed back into the room. However, barely after taking a few steps, another attendant suddenly rushed up to him and exclaimed, "Elder …"
"What's wrong?"
Seeing him so flustered, the elder frowned.
"Someone has just won ten matches consecutively in the Ethereal Hall!"
The attendant reported.
"Ten matches?" The elder widened his eyes in shock. "It has been a long time since I've seen anyone win that many matches consecutively. Is it a core disciple of the Seven Star Pavilion?"
In Biyuan City, those who were able to win ten matches consecutively were core disciples of the Seven Star Pavilion.
Under normal circumstances, even though such experts would appear, they would rarely challenge the Ethereal Hall consecutively. After all, it was a little unfair to the other cultivators. It was just like how a professional would defeat an amateur. Could it be that the rules had changed?
"It's not a core disciple of the Seven Star Pavilion. Zhao Meng said it himself!"
The attendant replied.
Zhao Meng was a core disciple of the Seven Star Pavilion, and his ranking was quite high.
"This … Let's head over to take a look!" the elder exclaimed as he hurriedly returned to his room. He took out a jade token and immersed his consciousness into it.
He walked over to the dueling ring and raised his head to take a look.
There, he saw two figures clashing with one another.
The one on the left was dressed in a grayish-green robe, and his palm strikes were powerful and powerful. On the other hand, the young man on the right did not retaliate. Instead, he dodged the attacks nonstop.
"Is that the number one core disciple of the Seven Star Pavilion, Meng Han?"
"Indeed. I didn't think that he would come here personally!"
"That fellow has challenged twelve matches consecutively and won all of them easily. Three of them are even core disciples of the Seven Star Pavilion. It's unlikely that the number one core disciple of the Seven Star Pavilion will be able to stay here any longer …"
…
As soon as the elder walked up to the dueling ring, he heard the commotion in the surroundings.
"This is already the thirteenth match?"
The elder was stunned.
Didn't the young man before him tell him that someone had won ten matches consecutively? How did it turn into twelve consecutive matches?
"I went to look for the elder earlier, and he won two more matches …" the attendant said as he came to a realization.
The waiter finally understood, and his face was also filled with disbelief. "From the time I went out to the time I came back, it was less than a minute …"
"…" The elder's lips twitched.
To defeat two core disciples of the Seven Star Pavilion in less than a minute?
"Look!"
Just as the elder was filled with disbelief, the young man who had been dodging on the dueling ring suddenly raised his fist.
Peng!
The number one core disciple of the Seven Star Pavilion, Meng Han, collapsed to the ground, and his body convulsed uncontrollably.
"He was defeated just like that?"
The elder was stunned.
Meng Han had been at the top of the Ethereal Hall's dueling ring for at least three years. Who could have thought that he would be defeated with a single punch right after he stepped onto the dueling ring?
This was way too easy!
The elder wasn't the only one who was shocked. Everyone else was stunned as well.
To be defeated in a single move … no one could believe that this was real.
…
In the Elder Council of the Seven Star Pavilion …
Peng peng peng peng!
Two middle-aged men were clashing with one another. Their auras clashed with one another, and from time to time, the formations in the surroundings would flicker with light.
The two of them appeared to be in their forties or fifties, but their cultivation had reached Heavenly High Immortal realm. Every single movement they made seemed to carry some sort of power.
Hu!
The green-robed elder's finger was barely a finger's length away from the gray-robed elder's throat.
"I have lost."
The gray-robed elder nodded.
"Thank you for going easy on me." The green-robed elder heaved a sigh of relief. He scanned the surroundings and asked, "Is there anyone else who is willing to compete with me?"
Complete silence.
"Elder Hong Wu is ranked first in the duel this time around. He will be accompanying me to the Sea of Exiled Stars!"
An elder said as he stepped forward.
He was the head of the Seven Star Pavilion, Kui Xiao!
"Yes, Sect Leader Kui!"
The crowd clasped their fists.
Two hours ago, Sect Leader Kui Xiao had gathered all the Heavenly High Immortals and elders below a hundred years old for a duel. In the end, Elder Hong Wu emerged as the victor.
As such, there was no one who had any objections to his strength.
"I have some words to speak with Elder Hong Wu in private. Everyone else, please back down."
Pavilion Master Kui Xiao waved his hand.
The crowd nodded before backing away.
However, before they could reach the entrance, an elder suddenly rushed up to them and reported, "Sect Leader Kui Xiao, something has happened!"
"Oh?"
Pavilion Master Kui Xiao frowned.
The elder before him was the First Elder of the Seven Star Pavilion. While the other party's cultivation was beneath his, he was still a Heavenly High Immortal realm expert.
Given his strength, the other party's mental fortitude was as steady as steel. For him to rush over at this moment, there was no doubt that it was something important.
"An expert has arrived at Biyuan City's Ethereal Hall, and he's challenging all of the True Immortals there. He has already won thirteen matches consecutively, and even Meng Han, the core disciple of the Ethereal Hall, was defeated with a single punch!"
The elder said with a hushed voice.
"Meng Han isn't a match for him?" Pavilion Master Kui Xiao was taken aback.
Meng Han was not just the number one core disciple of the Seven Star Pavilion, he was also his direct disciple. There was a good chance that he would become the First Elder or even inherit his position!
With such strength, he was practically invincible in the True Immortal realm. Yet, he was defeated with a single punch … Was this for real?
"Let's head over to take a look!"
Pavilion Master Kui Xiao exclaimed.
"Alright!" The First Elder had already prepared an Ethereal Token, so he took it out.
Just as he was about to enter the Ethereal Hall, a thought suddenly came to his mind. He turned to Elder Hong Wu and said, "You should come along as well."
After saying those words, he tossed a Ethereal Token over.
"Yes, Sect Leader Kui!"
Elder Hong Wu nodded as he caught the Ethereal Token.
This person who appeared out of nowhere was able to defeat even Meng Han, who was at the same level as him. He wanted to see just how strong this person was.
"What's the name of the person who defeated Meng Han?"
Pavilion Master Kui Xiao asked as he bit his finger and dripped a droplet of blood onto it.
"His name is …"
The First Elder pondered for a moment before replying.
"Liu Yang!"
