Chapter 2080 The Vengeful Young Lady 16

Without a doubt, Lin Chaoshan also lost.

He simply couldn't accept that he had lost to an outer disciple, especially one who possessed five spiritual roots and was considered a good-for-nothing by others.

He tried every means to only injure her slightly, but with her abundant supply of medicinal pills, that slight injury was practically negligible.

He was defeated by a mere outer disciple with only the first level of Qi Refining, relying on pills, talismans, and formations, without even using swordsmanship.

Those around Zhongli stared in disbelief, and a strange silence fell over the group.

Tianxing was insanely jealous. How could a mere outer disciple have such abundant resources? Was there any justice in the world?

Why does she have so many talismans and pills?

Su Yan laughed and said, "Of course I taught her. She refined and drew it herself. Didn't your master teach you?"

Tianxing choked, and the other disciples also looked pale.

The master did not teach them, not because he did not want to, but because their cultivation speed had not yet reached the point where they could learn these things at the same time.

Qin Yi was secretly amazed at Zhong Li's talent in learning formations, talismans, and alchemy.

Putting everything else aside, just looking at formations, he could see that Zhongli's talent was no less than his own. She could complete several formations in an instant, which required not only spiritual power cultivation, but also comprehension and adaptability in formations.

To be able to use the most suitable formation at the most suitable time, and to accurately predict the opponent's next move—what an extraordinary talent!

Is this really the talent a disciple with five spiritual roots should have?

If she didn't have five spiritual roots, I can't even imagine how fast her cultivation speed would be.

Zhongli's talent was already enough to frighten him, but what made him even more wary was Su Yan standing behind Zhongli.

Although she is only seven or eight years old, the confidence she displays is not what one would expect from a seven or eight-year-old.

What is she relying on, or did the Immortal Venerable Xuanling give her some kind of magic weapon that allows her to be so fearless?

After Lin Chaoshan was defeated, no one dared to challenge him for a while.

They didn't think they were any better than Lin Chaoshan, and even Tianxing hated him with a vengeance.

"Anyone else who's not satisfied, come on up! My junior sister has things to do, don't delay our business."

"Hmph, we just don't want people to say we're bullying the weak, so we'll let you off the hook today."

“That’s right. Since we’ve already sent three people today, we can’t just take turns attacking them. That wouldn’t be fair to Zhongli.”

"Yes, it would be wrong to say we're bullying you two. Let's let it go for today, and we'll definitely come back to ask for your advice another day."

......

Disciples from other peaks found excuses to leave the mountain, some even worried that their master would find out about it, which would be a huge embarrassment for them.

They went to cause trouble for others, and not only did they outnumber the others, but they also failed to gain any advantage. They couldn't even defeat an outer disciple. It's simply shameful to talk about this.

Everyone tacitly agreed that they must keep this a secret and not let their master find out.

"You're welcome to challenge us anytime. It's too deserted here at Tianwai Mountain; your presence will make it more lively," Su Yan said, looking at everyone with a half-smile.

Seeing that everyone was backing down, Tianxing decided not to stir things up anymore.

She realized that even if she went up against Zhongli, she might not be a match for him.

She didn't know why she was only at the first level of Qi Refining, but seeing her act of not caring about the talismans and pills still shocked her.

We can't afford to rely on these resources alone.

A large group of people came with great fanfare, but left in a sorry state.

Before leaving, Qin Yi gave Su Yan a meaningful look.

Su Yan stared at the crowd with an arrogant look, as if to say that if they were not satisfied, they could come up again, and she would definitely accompany them to the end.

After everyone left, Zhongli jumped up and down excitedly, saying, "Wow, did I really defeat Lin Chaoshan? He's a top disciple of Beast Taming Peak. I heard he was the first disciple of this generation to reach Foundation Establishment. I actually managed to beat him! Junior Sister, you're amazing!"

Su Yan smiled smugly and said, "I told you you could do it. See? I didn't lie to you."

"Okay, I'll listen to you from now on. I'll do whatever you tell me to do."

"Hmm, shouldn't you go buy some groceries?"

"Oh dear, I almost forgot the important matter. I'm going down the mountain now, Junior Sister."

"Well go ahead."

Zhongli happily flew down the mountain on her sword. She had thought she was weak before, but now she could actually compete with those geniuses. This was all thanks to her junior sister.

Without her junior sister's guidance, how could she have learned these formations, talismans, alchemy, and beast taming...?

The junior sister also said that she would teach her weapon crafting, puppetry, and other skills in the future.

She believed that it wouldn't be long before she could avenge her family.

Zhong Li went to the warehouse at Zijin Peak and bought enough spiritual food to last for half a month.

Just as she was about to leave, she was stopped by another person.

"Junior Sister Zhong, wait a moment."

"What is it?" Zhongli looked at the other person warily. She remembered that this person was also among those who went to Tianwai Mountain to cause trouble.

Sun Yuan pulled Zhong Li to a secluded spot and whispered, "I saw Junior Sister Zhong taking the Replenishing Yuan Pill without any remorse, so I wanted to ask you if you would be willing to sell me the pills you refine yourself."

"Sell it to you? How?"

"I want to buy the pills you refine, or the talismans you make, or even array plates if you can."

"No, I never intended to sell pills." Zhong Li was a little taken aback. Could the pills she refined actually be sold?

Besides, she wasn't short of spirit stones; her junior sister had always given her spirit stones, so she had never even considered earning them.

Sun Yuan continued to persuade her, "Since Junior Sister can refine pills, why not make use of the resources? Pill Peak has always been the wealthiest of all the peaks because everyone there can sell their refined pills to disciples of other peaks. Besides, if Junior Sister Zhong wants to buy anything in the future, she can come to me. I know many people—Beast Taming Peak, Weapon Refining Peak, Talisman Peak—and they are all willing to cooperate with me. Don't worry, my reputation is impeccable; I will never take advantage of you. It's a win-win situation, you understand what I mean?"

"So how do you want to buy it?" Zhongli asked hesitantly.

She was actually quite curious too. Anyway, she refined a lot of pills, so selling some wouldn't hurt. With spirit stones, she could also buy delicious food for her junior sister.

"One Qi-replenishing pill costs three low-grade spirit stones, one low-grade thunderfire talisman costs five low-grade spirit stones, one low-grade array plate costs one mid-grade spirit stone."

Although she didn't know the market price, her intuition told her that the price seemed a bit low.

So she said tactfully, "The materials I used to refine these things were given to me by my junior sister. I need to go back and ask her before I can give you an answer."

"Okay, okay, go back and ask first, we'll talk again next time."

"Well, I'll go down the mountain to buy more supplies in about two weeks. We'll talk about it then."

"Okay, Junior Sister Zhong, take care."

Sun Yuan warmly saw Zhong Li off, secretly thinking to himself, "This Junior Sister Zhong doesn't seem very bright. Her Senior Sister is only seven years old; what does she know?"

He could already foresee that with the things Zhongli provided, he would become a small-time wealthy merchant.
