Chapter 81 - Chapter 81: Foiling a Plan and Roping in Allies
“Senior Brother Zhang, why are you looking for me? Senior Brother Liu, you’re here too!” Feng Wensheng arrived and cupped his hands in greetings to Zhang Chen and the troublemaker disciple.
“What are you doing here?” Liu was puzzled.
“Senior Brother Zhang asked me to come,” Feng Wensheng said truthfully.
Liu sneered, “Do you think you can resolve this matter by finding an inner sect disciple of the Pill Pavilion?”
Zhang Chen ignored Liu and said to Feng Wensheng, “If your Pill Pavilion continues to find trouble with me, our deal will end here.”
Upon hearing this, Feng Wensheng’s expression changed. Zhang Chen was a big customer of their Pill Pavilion. He bought seven buckets of Foundation Establishment demon blood every day and continuously provided a large amount of blood essence.
Although he was only the spokesperson for selling pills, the profit line behind him was the entire Pill Pavilion.
Previously, in order to expand their business with Zhang Chen, the Pill Pavilion had even taken out 20 percent of the Pill Pavilion’s profits to compete with the Beast Garden.
“Senior Brother Zhang, I’ll immediately convey your words to our Pill Pavilion Master.” Feng Wensheng quickly used the Light Body Technique and rushed to the Pill Pavilion.
“A deal? Hehe, you’re deliberately mystifying things.” Liu didn’t care at all.
In his opinion, Zhang Chen just wanted to buy some medicinal pills. How many medicinal pills could a personal disciple who had just advanced buy?
Zhang Chen ignored him and waited quietly.
Seeing this, Liu became even more smug, thinking that Zhang Chen was at his wit’s end.
Not long after, a blood light emitting the pressure of the ninth level of Foundation Establishment flew over.
“Eldest Senior Brother, why are you here?” Liu was surprised to see him.
What kind ofdeal can a new direct disciple at the first level ofFoundation Establishment have that concerns Eldest Senior Brother?
The Eldest Senior Brother of the Pill Pavilion ignored the direct disciple named Liu and smiled at Zhang Chen. “This is Junior Brother Zhang Chen, right?”
“Greetings, Senior Brother Gu. I’m Zhang Chen.” Zhang Chen cupped his hands.
At the direct disciple gathering three years ago, he had met the Eldest Senior Brother of the Pill Pavilion and knew that his surname was Gu.
“Junior Brother Zhang, don’t worry. This is a misunderstanding, I guarantee that the Pill Pavilion won’t find trouble with you. It’s his private matter.” The Eldest Senior Brother of the Pill Pavilion said solemnly.
Liu’s mouth went dry and he was dumbfounded. He could not understand why his Eldest Senior Brother was so polite to Zhang Chen.
Zhang Chen was very calm. “Senior Brother Gu, this senior brother from the Pill Pavilion framed me. He said that I mixed Qi Refinement demon blood with the demon blood of the Foundation Establishment realm and wanted me to compensate for the losses. How do you want to resolve it?”
The Pill Pavilion’s Eldest Senior Brother’s face darkened as he looked at Liu. “Liu Liang, what’s going on?”
“Eldest Senior Brother, I… he… is Wu Chang from the Beast Garden. He asked me to find trouble with Junior Brother Zhang.” Liu Liang wanted to find an excuse, but he could not withstand the pressure and said truthfully.
The Eldest Senior Brother of the Pill Pavilion smiled again and said to Zhang
Chen, “Junior Brother Zhang, I’ll let him use a bucket of Foundation
Establishment demon blood as compensation. How about that?”
“Since Senior Brother Gu has said so, we’ll let this matter go.” Zhang Chen did not push his luck and was willing to let go of the matter.
Seeing that Zhang Chen had given him face, the Eldest Senior Brother of the Pill Pavilion nodded in satisfaction. “Junior Brother Zhang, Wu Chang is at the ninth level of the Foundation Establishment realm. If you encounter any trouble in the future, you can look for me. I’ll help you if I can.”
In other words, he could help him resist Wu Chang.
Of course, this was not only to do him a favor, but also because he did not want to lose Zhang Chen, a stable source of blood essence.
“Thank you, Senior Brother Gu.” Zhang Chen cupped his hands and thanked him.
“I still have something to do in the Pill Pavilion. I can’t be away for too long, so
I’ll leave first.”
“Senior Brother Gu, take care.”
The Eldest Senior Brother of the Pill Pavilion glared at Liu Liang before turning into a blood light and leaving.
Liu Liang heaved a sigh of relief and hastily took out the blood storage bottle to apologize to Zhang Chen. “Junior Brother Zhang, I’m sorry. This is my apology.”
Zhang Chen took the blood storage bottle. “I’ll settle scores with Wu Chang.
Leave.”
“Then I won’t disturb Junior Brother Zhang.” Liu Liang didn’t have the face to stay any longer.
Zhang Chen did not stop. He turned around and flew towards the peak of the Beast Garden Mountain.
“I didn’t expect Senior Brother Zhang to have such a good relationship with the Eldest Senior Brother of the Pill Pavilion!”
“Senior Brother Wu is taking revenge on Senior Brother Zhang. The ones who are implicated are ordinary disciples like us.”
“Sigh-” The disciples of the Beast Garden sighed helplessly.
The disciple who had left the Beast Garden to report to Wu Chang went to his cave abode again.
“Is Zhang Chen related to the Eldest Senior Brother of the Pill Pavilion, Gu Pingshan?” After hearing what had happened, Wu Chang’s expression was solemn.
The disciple of the Beast Garden said, “From the conversation, this is the first time the two of them have seen each other, but Zhang Chen seems to have an important deal with the Pill Pavilion.”
“An important deal? Using demon blood and the Pill Pavilion to exchange for medicinal pills? But the Pill Pavilion doesn’t lack demon blood!” Wu Chang frowned. He really couldn’t think of any important deal between Zhang Chen and the Pill Pavilion.
Unable to figure it out, Wu Chang stopped thinking and said ferociously, “If the Pill Pavilion doesn’t work, I’ll switch to the Internal Affairs Hall, In the Internal
Affairs Hall. He can’t have connections there, right?!”
On the other side, Zhang Chen also knew that he could not be passive all the time. He had to take the initiative to attack.
After thinking for a moment, he had an idea. He would use his benefits to rope in the other senior brothers.
After today’s incident, it was very likely that he could not hide the demon blood deal with the Pill Pavilion. It was better to expose it.
With his current strength, as long as the Golden Core disciples did not attack, he would be safe.
Currently, on the surface, only a few elders and the sect master of the Blood God Sect were dangerous to him. He could be more daring.
Zhang Chen found a disciple of the Beast Garden. “Go and invite Senior Brother
Hong, Senior Sister Dong, Senior Brother Xu, Senior Brother Zhou, and Senior
Brother Du to the Beast Garden.”
Needless to say, the disciples of the Beast Garden knew that they were the direct disciples who managed the Beast Garden.
Fifteen minutes later, in the cave abode at the core of the formation.
“Seventh Junior Brother, why did you call us here?” Eldest Senior Brother Hong Longguang was the first to ask.
Zhang Chen slowly said, “Our Beast Garden’s share is actually demon blood. However, it’s not easy to transform demon blood into blood essence. “As for me, I have a way to sell demon blood to exchange for blood essence.”
Everyone’s eyes widened in surprise. “Seventh Junior Brother, you mean you can exchange blood essence for us?”
“That’s right.” Zhang Chen nodded. “I can use a bowl of blood essence, three buckets of Qi Refinement demon blood, or 10 bowls of Foundation Establishment demon blood to exchange for blood essence for my senior brothers and sister.”
“Really!” Everyone was pleasantly surprised.
Although they could obtain a large amount of demon blood from the Beast Garden every day, the demon blood contained a ferocious aura, so they did not dare to refine too much.
Coupled with the fact that the outer sect disciples were short of young and old disciples, no one exchanged their blood essence for demon blood, so the demon blood would only rot in their hands.
Everyone looked at Zhang Chen with burning gazes, but they were still concerned about one question. “I wonder how much blood essence can Seventh Junior Brother exchange for?”
Zhang Chen said unhurriedly, “At the moment, we can exchange for 50 bowls of blood essence a day. As for how to distribute these 50 bowls of blood essence, Senior Brothers and Senior Sister, you can discuss it among yourselves.
“As long as my share in the Beast Garden remains unchanged, I can exchange for blood essence for my senior brothers and sister every day in the future.
However, I have two conditions.”
“Fifty bowls of blood essence a day? Is what you said true?” Everyone was excited and in disbelief.
“What’s in it for me to lie to my senior brothers and sister?” Zhang Chen smiled.
With his current speed of cultivating demon blood, he could obtain 200 bowls of blood essence a day.
If it weren’t for the fact that he had other things to do and couldn’t keep refining the demon blood, coupled with the deal with the Pill Pavilion, he would have said more..
