The Prodigies War
chapter-1788

"Valuable? Haha, Fellow Daoist, you still underestimate Lin Xun."

Qiu Rong's eyes were lit up with a burning passion, "Let’s be real, the secret of becoming an Emperor and an Ancestor is not something that can be measured by any number of dao crystals! And it is in his hands!

"The world is vying for the deer, and this kid Lin Xun is the deer in question!"

Yu Yunhe was stunned for a long while, and he couldn't help sighing at the end, "Everyone in the world is covetously eyeing this guy. He...is really pitiful."

"This is called a crime of holding a treasure," responded Qiu Rong slowly.

Speaking of this, he suddenly remembered something, "Not long ago, the Starry Sky Big Saint Rankings was re-done. Do you know where the Mythical Huang Dao Court ranked this kid Lin Xun?"

Yu Yunhe joked, "It couldn't have been first, right?"

Qiu Rong's expression became odd, "Young Master, you hit the nail on the head, he really is ranked...first!"

Yu Yunhe was flabbergasted.

The guy who was regarded as a tasty nugget by the entire world was actually ranked first on the Starry Sky Big Saint Rankings?

Lin Xun was also surprised by this.

Without even knowing, he had inexplicably become the Most Powerful on the Starry Sky Big Saint Rankings.

Qiu Rong continued, "A tree that stands out in the forest will be struck by lightning. This boy has already caused a stir in the entire world, and now he is ranked the Most Powerful on the Starry Sky Big Saint Rankings. It wouldn't be wrong to say that as long as he does not show up again, things will be fine. However, once he shows up, it will be a disaster!"

After a pause, the old man added, "Of course, this is just the ranking made by the Mythical Huang Dao Court that was based on the combat power shown by Lin Xun in the Kunlun Dominion. Six years have passed since then, so no one dares to be sure whether this boy, who has long been a Sage, has become a Saint-King or not."

Lin Xun couldn't help but ask, "What are Zhuanyu Heng and Hua Xingli ranked?"

Qiu Rong replied, "Zhuanyu Heng and Hua Xingli became Saint-Kings three years ago and have long been removed from the Starry Sky Big Saint Rankings. Instead they have joined the ranks of the All Heavens Saint-King Rankings."

The All Heavens Saint-King Rankings!

Lin Xun immediately came to the conclusion that this must be another list compiled by the Mythical Huang Dao Court.

"It's not just those two. Almost all the people who were in the top ten of the Starry Sky Big Saint Rankings in the previous hundred years have become Saint-Kings and are now included in the All Heavens Saint-King Rankings after the lists have been updated this time."

Qiu Rong continued freely, "For example, Xuan Zixi, who was originally ranked first on the Starry Sky Big Saint Rankings, is now ranked forty-ninth on the All Heavens Saint-King Rankings. He is also the only peerless figure who has entered the top one hundred of the All Heavens Saint-King Rankings as soon as he stepped into the Saint-King Stage."

Lin Xun was not interested in this. He asked some more questions and then left the Listening Wind Pavilion with Yu Yunhe and Nan Qiu.

...

On the Ancient Nebula Road, everyone actually regards me, Lin Xun, as prey...

While standing on the prosperous street, Lin Xun's thoughts were a little erratic.

Six years had passed, but it was obvious that those enemies of his had never given up the idea of killing him!

"Brother Lin, where are we going now?" Yu Yunhe asked.

He had keenly noticed that after leaving Listening Wind Pavilion, Lin Xun had become much more silent, as if he had something on his mind.

Lin Xun pondered and said, "I want to sell something."

"Sell something?" Yu Yunhe was surprised.

"Yes." Lin Xun nodded.

There was no other way. He was seriously short of dao crystals now after spending five thousand of them to buy some information. At the rate that this was going, it would not take long for his dao crystals to be used up.

Yu Yunhe was a good-for-nothing who spent money like water, so he knew all the tricks on getting more funds. He had previously sold some of his precious treasures in exchange for more money to squander.

After thinking for a little bit, Yu Yunhe said, "Then let's go to Yunyan Treasure House. That place is a money-spending cave opened by the Yunyan Breeze Sect. It buys and sells all kinds of treasures. It also has auctions, arena fights, refining equipment, alchemy and other categories..."

...

Yunyan Treasure House.

It was the largest, most reputable, and most powerful business in Yunyan City.

The space inside Yunyan Treasure House was extremely large with carved beams and painted pillars everywhere. It was magnificent and wondrous, and there was a dazzling array of treasures everywhere.

There were all kinds of treasures that glittered with colors, elixirs of different grades, cultivation books, spiritual minerals, magical medicines, rare treasures from all over the world, and strange objects from heaven and earth... All of this showed how deep the pockets of this business were.

When Lin Xun and his group arrived, there were already many cultivators in Yunyan Treasure House. There were men and women, and they were all dressed in gorgeous clothes with outstanding appearances. They were obviously either rich or noble or both.

It wasn’t surprising. After all, a place like Yunyan Treasure House was simply not affordable for ordinary cultivators.

However, Lin Xun was not here to shop.

"Help me exchange these treasures for dao crystals."

Lin Xun found an attendant and handed over a storage bag.

Among them were the spoils that Lin Xun had looted from Ma Taizhen, Fu Tong and the others. Of course, it also contained his spoils from Yu Yunhe.

Seeing this scene, Yu Yunhe was dumbfounded. He shook his head and smiled bitterly.

Lin Xun also had some other treasures, such as the mysterious sword tip taken from Wen Qingxue, the Diagram of Sixteen Emperor Daggers taken from Xu Lingkun, and so on.

But those treasures could not be pawned off. After all, they were extremely precious and rare.

Furthermore, once they were sold, they would inevitably attract attention. If recognized, people would definitely guess his true identity!

The maid said respectfully, "Sir, please wait a moment. There are many treasures you want to exchange, and it will take some time to evaluate them."

Lin Xun nodded.

"Sixth Brother, are you short of money again?"

A group of people suddenly came in from the distance, led by a tall and imposing man in a purple robe. It was Yu Yunzheng.

Walking side by side with him was a young woman who was wearing a luxurious crane cloak. She had a pretty and delicate face, but her expression was cold and revealed a sense of arrogance.

"No." Yu Yunhe shook his head.

Yu Yunzheng smiled playfully, "Haha, but I saw everything. You’re too lavish with money. If you are short of pocket money, just tell me. Here, here are ten thousand dao crystals. Go ahead and spend it."

As he said that, he threw out a storage bag.

Bang!

The storage bag fell to the ground. Yu Yunhe did not catch it. He said with an ugly expression, "Third Brother, who do you think I am, a beggar?"

Yu Yunzheng frowned and then sighed, "Isn't ten thousand not enough? Then...will fifty thousand do?"

As he said that, he took out another storage bag.

Around Yu Yunzheng, the group of men and women couldn't help laughing, looking like they were watching the fun.

Veins popped out of Yu Yunhe's forehead, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Third Brother, I appreciate your kindness, but you should keep these dao crystals for yourself!"

Yu Yunzheng no longer continued. He simply smiled and patted Yu Yunhe's shoulder, then pointed to the young woman wearing a crane cloak beside him and said, "Sixth Brother, this is Miss Caiyi."

Lan Caiyi!

She was the daughter of the head of Yunyan Breeze Sect!

Yu Yunhe narrowed his eyes, then took a deep breath and smiled stiffly, "Nice to meet you, Miss Caiyi."

Lan Caiyi hummed with a cold expression on her face and finally said, "Yunzheng, let's go. My father was finally able to invite Master Mo to Yunyan City. Don't let him wait for too long."

After that, she turned and left.

Yu Yunhe's face instantly darkened as he was angry. Was this witch deliberately ignoring him?

Yu Yunzheng smiled while looking at the frustrated Yu Yunhe. He then turned his gaze to Lin Xun and said, "Are you my Sixth Brother's new lackey?"

Lin Xun raised his eyebrows. Lackey? Is this guy doing this on purpose, or does he really regard me as a servant?

Before he could respond, Yu Yunzheng added, "Let me reward you with the ten thousand dao crystals in the storage bag on the ground."

After that, he turned around and left with everyone.

"This guy is too much!" Nan Qiu muttered, clearly very indignant.

At the same time, Yu Yunhe said with a sad face, "I'm sorry, it's because I implicated you."

Lin Xun corrected him, "He should be the one apologizing, not you."

Yu Yunhe smiled bitterly and shook his head. He knew Yu Yunzheng too well. He was aloof and arrogant and had brains to boot. The powerful figures in the clan all liked him.

Now he was going to be engaged to the daughter of the head of the Yunyan Breeze Sect. His status in the clan was destined to become more and more important in the future.

If he wanted him to apologize?

That’d be impossible!

Lin Xun couldn't stand Yu Yunhe's beaten dog outlook, so he couldn't help but say, "As the unpopular eldest legitimate son of the clan, shouldn't you work hard and go for a strong counterattack?"

Yu Yunhe was astonished and then humbly asked, "That... Brother Lin, how do you think I can do that?"

Is there any need to ask this?

Lin Xun was speechless for a while and then said jokingly, "Don't the legends say ‘thirty years in the east and thirty years in the west, and don't despise the young poor man?’ A clan member who was looked down upon, suffered humiliation and oppression, had vowed to become stronger, so he endured it all and practiced hard. Then one by one, he stepped on his opponents. From then on he reached the peak of his life and became the most dazzling one in the clan."

Yu Yunhe was helpless, "Brother Lin, although I am a bit of a spendthrift, I am not stupid. These legends are all made up for entertainment, so how can you take them seriously?"

Lin Xun smiled, "I’m not saying you’re stupid. What I’m saying is that, in the end, it all depends on yourself and what you do. People fight for a chance at life, and Buddha accepts a stick of incense. In the pursuit of the great dao, fight with the world, fight with your peers. However, if you don't fight, you are destined to be kicked out."

Yu Yunhe was stunned and fell into deep thought.

At this time, the maid came back and presented them with sixty thousand dao crystals.

Lin Xun put away the money and frowned. It was still a bit too little. Sixty thousand dao crystals would be a huge fortune for other cultivators.

But for Lin Xun's cultivation, such a sum could only support about two months at most. It was not an exaggeration to say that it was a drop in the bucket.

He looked around and suddenly his eyes lit up, "Let's go over there and take a look."

"The Mission Hall?"

Yu Yunhe was surprised. What was Brother Lin going to do?

As doubts swirled in his heart, he and Nan Qiu followed Lin Xun and walked over.

The Mission Hall, as the name suggested, was a place where tasks were posted. Each task had a corresponding reward.

In front of the Mission Hall, there was a huge light curtain, and the contents and rewards of the tasks emerged like flowing water.

At this time, many cultivators were gathered in front of it, taking their favorite tasks to earn rewards.

Lin Xun noticed that the tasks on the light screen were divided into many categories, some were about collecting spiritual medicine, some were about hunting monsters, and some were related to elixirs, refining equipment, and asking for or buying items...

There were all kinds of missions.

Lin Xun looked at it for a moment and made a decision, "Young Master Yu, you're in charge of selecting the tasks related to refining equipment or setting up formations."
