Chapter 225: Ye Ping, I’ll Impart To You A Supreme Great Dao
“Fish noodles!”
“Freshly made fish noodles!”
“Don’t miss this superb iced sour juice!”
In Chenzhou of Jin Nation.
As Ye Ping stepped into the ancient city, he was greeted with the liveliness of the bazaar.
This was unlike the Ten Nations Bazaar, which was much more upscale as the patrons were all merchants and figures of high status and authority. The things that were peddled at the Ten Nations Bazaar were items related to immortal cultivation.
To put it bluntly, it was of a higher class.
The Jin Nation Bazaar was much more grounded as a large plethora of items could be sold, be it agricultural products or miscellaneous items peddled at some small stalls.
The Jin Nation Bazaar was held in Chenzhou, so it was naturally crowded.
Almost all the small stores and stalls were full of people.
Not only were there cultivators, there were also plenty of mortals who had picked up some strange items and brought them to the bazaar in a bid to sell them.
If they met a fated customer, they might be able to sell the items for a high price each.
They could easily sell it for over ten Spirit Stones or dozens of Spirit Stones. Once they sold it, they would gain a huge profit.
That was the reason why the Jin Nation Bazaar was not as upscale as imagined.
At this moment...
In Chenzhou, Ye Ping and the other two seemed a little exhausted. They had just arrived and hadn’t had the time to prepare anything. More than ten figures started surrounding them at the city gate of Chenzhou.
“Exalted Immortals, are you here to look for treasures or have an adventure?”
“I’m not trying to brag, but we offer free treasure appraisal in our store and we definitely won’t cheat you. If you’re here for an adventure, we have plenty of excitement to offer in our store.”
“Exalted Immortal, we’re serving a new type of tea in our store, would you like to come and taste it?”
“Exalted Immortal, do you want to watch the performance of a fox demon? It’s definitely exciting! Otherwise, we will offer a full refund!”
More than ten figures appeared and surrounded Ye Ping and Xue Zhuan.
Their exaggerated touting and bizarre, ambiguous words made Ye Ping feel uncomfortable.
He was an orthodox cultivator and a great Confucian of heaven and earth, so he naturally felt disgusted and repulsed by such things.
However, Lin Bei was tempted when he heard that.
Before he could speak, Xue Zhuan spoke up.
“Don’t think about it, it’s all fake. They’re just pushing the restrictions. Adventures and new tea? Those are just lies to cheat you out of your money. Let’s go somewhere else. I know of a place that has a good environment and charges reasonable prices.”
Xue Zhuan then pulled Ye Ping and Lin Bei away.
Half an hour later, they reached an inn.
The inn wasn’t large but was very crowded.
There was a signboard that read “Affordable Inn”.
Indeed, as its name suggested, it was affordable.
The inn was indeed very crowded too.
“Lin Bei, Ye Ping, I’m not bragging but this inn is one of a kind in Chenzhou. You can’t find another one as affordable as this. If you can, I’ll give up my position as the Fourth Senior Brother to you.”
Xue Zhuan said confidently.
He was a thrifty person who would save whenever he could.
That was the reason that Lin Bei took Xue Zhuan along with him to look for treasures.
“Fourth Senior Brother, we don’t lack that money.”
It wasn’t that Ye Ping didn’t trust Xue Zhuan, but rather, he felt that there was no need for it. After all, the expenses incurred here wouldn’t be that high. Even a night in the most expensive inn would cost a hundred taels of silver.
However, as soon as he said that, Xue Zhuan immediately shook his head.
“Ye Ping, it’s not that.”
Xue Zhuan then continued with a solemn expression.
“Ye Ping, Eldest Senior Brother taught you the Sword Dao, Second Senior Brother taught you alchemy, Third Senior Brother taught you array formations, but today I’m going to teach you the supreme Great Dao.”
Xue Zhuan’s words made Ye Ping feel a little puzzled.
‘Supreme Great Dao?’
‘What is the Supreme Great Dao?’
Ye Ping was full of curiosity.
“Fourth Senior Brother, are you referring to the Dao of talismans?”
Ye Ping asked.
“No.”
Xue Zhuan continued to shake his head.
“I’m not going to impart to you the Dao of array formations or talismans, but the way of survival, as well as a supreme Mystical Ability. It’s what I rely on to survive in the world of immortal cultivation.”
“I’m not bragging, but if you can comprehend this, I promise everything will go your way in the future.”
Xue Zhuan said with great confidence and gusto.
His words piqued Ye Ping’s interest.
‘Way of survival? Everything will go my way?’
‘Is there such a Mystical Ability in this world?’
“Senior Brother Xue, I want to learn it.”
Ye Ping seemed to yearn for it very much.
“No hurry, let’s check in first.”
Xue Zhuan nodded confidently and patted Ye Ping’s shoulder as he brought the two of them into the inn.
On the other hand, Lin Bei looked at Xue Zhuan with great curiosity. He had never heard of Xue Zhuan being proficient in a Mystical Ability that would allow one to have everything go their way.
If he had such a Mystical Ability, why would he stay in the tiny Qingyun Dao Sect?
However, Lin Bei didn’t say anything. Anyway, it would be normal even if Xue Zhuan boasted a little because it would definitely be better than what Su Changyu taught.
All in all, he just had to make sure not to mislead Ye Ping.
Hence, the trio entered the inn.
“Three Exalted Immortals, please enter.”
“Exalted Immortals, are you going to stay in a single room each or a shared room?”
As soon as they entered the inn, the attendant walked over with a piece of white cloth hanging on his body. He was rubbing the dust at their feet with a flattering smile.
“What are the prices for a single room and a shared room?”
Xue Zhuan asked calmly.
“Exalted Immortal, ten taels of silver for an individual room and two taels of silver each for a shared room.”
The attendant answered.
“If we check in now, when will our stay end?”
Xue Zhuan continued.
It was already past midnight now, which was quite an awkward timing.
“Exalted Immortal, we are an affordable inn, so the stay will end at noon tomorrow.”
The attendant immediately answered him.
“Sure, we’ll have one individual room and one shared room.”
Having received the answer, Xue Zhuan immediately asked to check into two rooms.
“Ye Ping, you shall take the single room while I stay in the shared room with Lin Bei.”
Xue Zhuan then asked the attendant to prepare the rooms.
Before Ye Ping could say anything, Xue Zhuan continued to speak.
“Ye Ping, wait for me in the room. I’ll make some preparations and teach you the Supreme Great Dao.”
Xue Zhuan immediately asked Ye Ping to go get some rest, not giving him a chance to speak at all.
The attendant swiftly returned to the counter and immediately took out two keys and room tags, which he then handed to Ye Ping and Xue Zhuan respectively.
Just like that, the three of them followed the attendant to their respective rooms.
It was indeed an economy inn where you get what you pay for.
In the inn, there wasn’t a single ornament of value. It was worlds apart from One-Line Sky of Wei Nation.
Fortunately, although the inn was ordinary, it provided the necessary supplies.
Ye Ping returned to his room and got some rest alone. Thinking that Lin Bei and Xue Zhuan probably had something important to discuss, he decided not to disturb them.
He stayed in the room.
This time, Ye Ping thought of something else when he arrived at the Jin Nation Bazaar.
That was, the things he had gotten at the Ten Nations Bazaar.
He obtained an ancient token, an ancient stone and a copper piece.
Those three things were the treasures he got in the Ten Nations Bazaar, but Ye Ping hadn’t discovered anything unusual about them after doing some research back at the sect.
After thinking about it, he did not continue to study.
Since he was there now, he decided to wait for a while before asking Xue Zhuan about it.
At the same time...
In another room of the inn.
Xue Zhuan and Lin Bei put down their miscellaneous items.
Lin Bei asked, “Senior Brother, what are your plans next?”
He asked, looking at Xue Zhuan with curiosity.
“I don’t have any plans. I came to the Jin Nation Bazaar this time to buy some items for drawing talismans and to accompany you, but I plan to go give Ye Ping some pointers now.”
Xue Zhuan answered Lin Bei.
“Pointers? Senior Brother, are you serious?”
Lin Bei spoke with some curiosity.
In Qingyun Dao Sect, the person who had the least presence was Lin Bei, but the most useless one was none other than Xue Zhuan.
Although Su Changyu was also a wastrel, he was at least good at the Sword Dao and could protect himself when he was not in the sect.
Xu Luochen and Wang Zhuoyu were somewhat proficient in alchemy and array formations while Lin Bei had quite a good cultivation level. Besides, he specialized in treasure appraisal.
Although Chen Lingrou was very inexperienced, she was at least still young.
Needless to say, Xiao Muxue was very capable.
Xue Zhuan was a complete wastrel who only knew how to draw some talismans. However, the talismans that he could draw were of inferior quality and completely useless.
Hence, Lin Bei had nothing to say about Su Changyu teaching Ye Ping the Sword Dao, but Xue Zhuan would be misleading him.
No matter what, Ye Ping was a disciple of the Jin Nation Academy. Lin Bei felt that Xue Zhuan wasn’t fit to teach Ye Ping at all.
“What do you mean? Eldest Senior Brother, Second Senior Brother, and Third Senior Brother can give him pointers, so why can’t I?”
“Besides, Ye Ping is a brilliant elite. If I don’t teach him, will he remember me when he soars to greater heights in the future?”
Xue Zhuan began to sound displeased when he heard Lin Bei’s words.
He felt that Lin Bei was being condescending.
“Senior Brother, that’s not what I meant. I just think that your talisman skills are indeed inferior...”
That was exactly what he meant.
“Did I say that I want to teach Ye Ping the Dao of talismans?”
Xue Zhuan retorted in annoyance.
“What else will you teach him then?”
Lin Bei was now curious. Xue Zhuan’s forte was talismans. If he wasn’t going to teach Ye Ping talismans, what else would he teach him?
“I’m going to teach the real supreme Great Dao that I just researched.”
“Those who know will know, if it involves too much, it’d be hard to say.”
Xue Zhuan did not tell Lin Bei exactly what he was going to teach Ye Ping and simply gave a vague answer.
“True Supreme Sword Dao? Fourth Senior Brother, why are you like Eldest Senior Brother?”
Lin Bei scratched his head and asked with bewilderment in his eyes.
“Don’t ask such things. Aren’t you going to the bazaar? Why don’t you hurry along?”
Xue Zhuan seemed to be patronizing Lin Bei.
The latter didn’t say much and instead stood up.
“Okay, since you’re the Senior Brother, you call the shots. But I just think that you shouldn’t mislead Ye Ping if you’re not competent.”
“Senior Brother, I’ll get going, come to the bazaar to look for me if there’s anything.”
Lin Bei stood up and left after saying those words quickly. He then vanished right on the spot.
After Lin Bei left, Xue Zhuan stood up and walked towards Ye Ping’s room too.
Knock-knock.
Soon, there were sounds of the door being knocked on.
Ye Ping spoke up too.
“Who’s there? Is it Fourth Senior Brother?”
“Yes, it’s me.”
Xue Zhuan’s voice sounded outside the door.
Ye Ping immediately opened the door of the room and Xue Zhuan soon appeared in front of him.
“Greetings, Senior Brother Xue.”
Ye Ping immediately bowed.
“Ye Ping, don’t be so polite.”
Xue Zhuan walked into the room and asked Ye Ping to sit down. Immediately afterwards, he closed the door and spoke in a serious tone.
“Ye Ping, I happened to comprehend a supreme Great Dao when I went down the mountain this time. Ordinary people can have everything go their way if they can comprehend 10% of it.”
“Do you want to learn it?”
Xue Zhuan asked seriously as he looked at Ye Ping.
“Of course I do.”
“Thank you for imparting it to me, Senior Brother.”
Ye Ping was naturally excited to hear Xue Zhuan’s words.
He was obviously tempted when he heard that he could have everything go his way once he comprehended 10% of the Supreme Great Dao.
His eyes were full of curiosity too.
‘What kind of Mystical Ability would allow one to have everything go their way?’
“Okay, since you’d like to learn, I won’t hide anything. However, there are some things I’d like to tell you in advance.”
“This Mystical Ability that I’ve comprehended is quite bizarre. If you find it strange after hearing it, that’d be normal too but don’t belittle it. Do you understand?”
Xue Zhuan told Ye Ping to prepare himself mentally in advance, because he felt that what he was about to teach him was strange.
However, if Ye Ping could understand it, then it would indeed be considered as helping Ye Ping.
“Senior Brother, I understand. Extraordinary methods are bound to be special. If it’s an ordinary Mystical Ability, of course it would be ordinary. I’ve long understood that.”
Ye Ping nodded and said.
He had seen plenty of such peculiar Dharmic Dao, but the more Xue Zhuan said that, the more curious Ye Ping became.
“Okay, since you understand, I’ll get straight to the point.”
Hearing Ye Ping’s answer, Xue Zhuan stopped dawdling about.
He took a deep breath.
Immediately afterwards, he spoke slowly.
“This method is called Omnipotent Wealth.”
He said, looking at Ye Ping seriously.
A moment later, Ye Ping was suddenly shocked.
This time, he was really confused.
‘Omnipotent Wealth?’
‘What does that mean?’
‘Money?’
‘Kryptonite?’
In the room, Ye Ping’s gaze was full of bewilderment.
Seeing Ye Ping’s reaction, Xue Zhuan didn’t seem surprised at all. Instead, it seemed as if he had expected that reaction from Ye Ping.
