Chapter 201: Returning To The Qingyun Dao Sect, Meeting Su Changyu!
At the Ten Nations Bazaar.
The stall owner looked at Ye Ping with a dumbfounded expression.
He had honestly expected Ye Ping to say one million middle-grade Spirit Stones or at least inferior-grade Spirit Stones.
He could also accept it.
‘100 inferior-grade Spirit Stones? Young man, you’re not being very ethical.’
“Exalted Immortal, that’s too much of a bargain. 100 inferior-grade Spirit Stones? I don’t mean anything else but 100 inferior-grade Spirit Stones is not even enough for you to touch these things.”
The stall owner cried and looked at Ye Ping.
“Senior, quit joking. You’re expecting to sell these lousy goods for a million Spirit Stones? I don’t mean anything else but if I howl right now, do you believe that everyone will come here and scold you?”
Ye Ping did not really want to buy those things, but rather, he felt that those three items really fit the description of treasures that Lin Bei told him. However, he was nonchalant because he was unsure if they were treasures or not.
“Exalted Immortal, I really did not lie to you, these three things are really the Immortal Slayer King token, the Great Dao Creation Cauldron, and the White Sun Flying Immortal Stone. I won’t ask more from you. How about 100,000 superior-grade Spirit Stones? I’ll take it as a friendly price.”
The stall owner continued.
“500 inferior-grade Spirit Stones. Take it or leave it.”
Ye Ping also did not want to waste any more time. It was stated clearly in Lin Bei’s treasure appraisal insights that regardless of whether an item was a treasure or not, it would not matter anymore if someone paid a high price for it because it had already lost its value.
“Exalted Immortal, 10,000 superior-grade Spirit Stones is the lowest I can go. I really can’t go any lower. Will you just take it that you’re taking pity on me? I still have a family to feed.”
The stall owner had a miserable expression.
“10 superior-grade Spirit Stones.”
Ye Ping said with a solemn expression.
If the stall owner tried to bargain again, Ye Ping would just leave.
“Deal!”
The elder said, seemingly having understood what Ye Ping was thinking. He agreed without hesitation.
Ye Ping was speechless.
‘How hasty.’
Soon, after Ye Ping took out 10 superior-grade Spirit Stones and handed them to the old man, he got hold of those three items too.
“Exalted Immortal, you must treat this creation opportunity well.”
After selling those items, the elder watched Ye Ping leave smilingly.
Obviously, he had earned quite a lot of money by accepting the price of 10 superior-grade Spirit Stones.
“If we’re really fated, I’ll see you again next time, Elder. I’ll thank you properly then.”
Ye Ping nodded, took his things, and left the place.
After Ye Ping left, the stall owner could not help but look at the girl beside him with a smug expression on his face.
“See? Grandpa didn’t lie to you, did I? The more ordinary and inconspicuous something looks, the more likely someone would fall for it.”
“These days, there are just a bunch of fools who read too many strange and bizarre books, and then think that they’re all that impressive.”
“No way, no way someone really thinks that treasures will be hidden in such small stalls, right?”
The old man stroked his beard and said with a smile on his face.
“Grandpa, if you do that, won’t you get beaten up?”
The girl spoke with her chin in her hand.
“What are you scared of? I move to a different place every once in a while. Are you scared that someone might come looking for me?”
“At the end of the day, in all the years I’ve been peddling goods, the buyer who left the deepest impression on me is Cultivator Lin.”
“I’ll forever remember what happened then. At that time, I had been a stall owner for three months but I didn’t sell a single thing yet. I was almost going to starve to death but someone among the crowd immediately took a liking to something I sold.”
“I knew right away that he was the person I was destined to meet.”
The old man said with an emotional gaze.
“What happened in the end?”
The girl at the side asked.
“In the end, I bought a house back in our hometown.”
The stall owner said with a smile.
Five minutes passed.
A figure appeared at the stall.
It was a woman in purple who was wearing a veil and squinting her beautiful eyes while sizing up the stall.
Immediately afterwards, she asked, “Sir, where is that token sold at your stall? Where’s the copper fragment and stone?”
The woman asked with a somewhat anxious tone.
“Oh, those items have already been bought by someone. Girl, do you want to look at something else?”
The old man was a little surprised as he didn’t expect to meet two oddballs at the same time in just one day. Both of them had even taken a liking to his items.
“Bought them? Sir, why would someone be willing to buy those kinds of things? Cut it out. Since you’re doing business, it’s just a matter of price.”
“I’m willing to pay 100,000 superior-grade Spirit Stones for those three items. Here are some Great Xia Dynasty banknotes. Please count them.”
The woman in purple said and even took out ten banknotes, each of which was worth 10,000 superior-grade Spirit Stones.
In an instant, the stall owner froze.
‘100,000 superior-grade Spirit Stones?’
‘What concept is that?’
He would never finish spending them.
Looking at the old man who was surprised, the woman in purple didn’t continue spouting any nonsense and instead continued, “Elder, where are the items?”
She continued to ask.
The old man was dumbfounded, and after hearing the woman in purple’s voice again, he couldn’t help but subconsciously say, “I’ve already sold them.”
‘Sold them?’
The woman in purple frowned. It was not that she did not trust the stall owner, but rather, she felt that no one would buy such an item.
“Sir, 100,000 superior-grade Spirit Stones is already quite a lot. Those three things may be worthless to you but they’re of some value to me.”
“How about this? I’ll top up to 300,000 Spirit Stones, not a single cent left. If you can sell it to me, everything can be negotiated, but if you want to put on airs, you should reflect on yourself before doing that.”
The woman in purple was sharp and straightforward. She didn’t lack money but she wouldn’t let others rip her off either. 300,000 superior-grade Spirit Stones was her limit.
“300,000?”
The old man’s eyes widened. He had never seen 30,000 superior-grade Spirit Stones in his life, let alone 300,000.
In an instant, the stall owner was distressed.
300,000.
300,000.
If the woman in purple had come 15 minutes earlier, he would have reached the peak of his life.
Unfortunately, she was 15 minutes late.
The owner of the stall cried.
The woman in purple was a bit confused as she watched the stall owner bursting into tears.
‘It’s just 300,000 superior-grade Spirit Stones? Must you cry?’
“Miss, the items have already been sold.”
At this moment, the girl at the side spoke up and seemed rather innocent.
“They’ve really been sold?”
She did not believe the words of the stall owner but she subconsciously chose to trust the girl.
“Yes, 15 minutes ago, a man came to buy those three items you mentioned.”
The girl answered.
“Oh dear.”
The woman in purple couldn’t help but clench her fist while furrowing her brows tightly.
“What a waste.”
The woman in purple took a deep breath, looked at the stall owner, and couldn’t help but say so.
After saying this, she couldn’t help but look at the girl again and said, “Girl, do you know what that person looks like?”
She continued to ask.
At that moment, the girl carefully described Ye Ping’s looks while the woman nodded and then took out one banknote. She handed it to the girl and said, “Thank you. Take this money to buy some tasty food.”
She was very generous. Each banknote was worth 10,000 superior-grade Spirit Stones and she gave it away just like that. She was obviously rich and generous.
“Exalted Immortal, pardon me for asking but what exactly are those three things?”
At this time, the stall owner snapped back to his senses and looked at the woman in purple with curiosity and sorrow in her eyes.
“You don’t even know what the things that you sell are? How can you set up a stall here then?”
At the mention of this, the woman in purple was displeased, but she nevertheless said, “The token you are selling is indeed the Immortal Slayer King token. Do you understand now?”
The woman in purple said indifferently with some curiosity in her eyes.
“It’s hard to imagine how you got those things.”
The woman in purple’s words made the stall owner dumbfounded.
‘Immortal Slayer King token?’
‘It’s really the Immortal Slayer King token?’
‘This is unbelievable.’
What kind of existence was the Immortal Slayer King? The Immortal Slayer King had once killed immortals, and the stall owner did not expect the random token that he had found to really be the Immortal Slayer King token.
‘This
 is a little too absurd, isn’t it?’
‘No this is no longer absurd, this is simply unbelievable.’
‘Immortal Slayer King token.’
‘Immortal Slayer King token.’
That item was worth a massive amount of money. It couldn’t be bought even with 10 million superior-grade Spirit Stones, let alone 100,000 superior-grade Spirit Stones.
The woman in purple ignored the stall owner and left directly to look for Ye Ping whom the girl mentioned.
After the woman in purple left, the stall owner froze in place, unable to snap back to his senses for a long time.
At this moment

In One-Line Sky.
Ye Ping, who had already restored his original appearance, returned to the One-Line Sky restaurant.
He had gained a lot this time. He had merely spent 10 superior-grade Spirit Stones and managed to get three items.
Regardless of whether the quality was good or not, he at least definitely didn’t incur a loss.
Ye Ping intended to take the items back to study them carefully. What he had to do now was to leave Wei Nation.
He wanted to go back sooner.
“Master!”
Li Yu had long been waiting outside One-Line Sky, and now that Ye Ping had appeared, Li Yu immediately walked towards him excitedly.
“Master, did you write that supreme essay just now?”
Li Yu clenched his fist. As the crown prince of the Jin Nation, how could he not be pleased with the fact that Ye Ping had performed outstandingly at the Ten Nations Grand Tournament?
In particular, Ye Ping had been shining brighter and brighter.
Now that he had written a supreme essay, Li Yu was on the verge of crying tears of joy.
Ye Ping was from Jin Nation and Li Yu was the crown prince of the Jin Nation. Clearly, the Jin Nation was going to shine bright this time. By then, the Great Xia Dynasty would increase efforts to support Jin Nation.
Besides, he was about to accede to the throne soon. Once he did, he would increase Jin Nation’s ranking. It was simply a huge glory, and when the time came, he would become an intelligent ruler of the Jin Nation.
Furthermore, Ye Ping was his master. The more famous Ye Ping was, the more his prestige would rise. The thought of it made Li Yu overjoyed.
“Don’t think too much, the essay has nothing to do with you no matter how good it may be.”
However, outside One-Line Sky, Ye Ping saw through Li Yu’s thoughts.
He did not want Li Yu to be just a monarch who relied on others, instead he wanted Li Yu to rely on himself to accede to the throne and rule over the nation.
After hearing what Ye Ping said, Li Yu immediately smiled sarcastically and asked Ye Ping.
“Master, now that the Ten Nations Grand Tournament has ended, what are your next plans?”
Li Yu asked Ye Ping with curiosity.
“I intend to return to the sect to study and learn properly.”
Ye Ping wanted to leave, and in fact, he was extremely eager to do so because he felt that it would be better to return to the sect sooner.
His Senior Brothers and Senior Sisters in the sect were all talents. To put it nicely, he would be able to learn some things, and by staying there, he would have a bright future.
“Master, you’re already so strong, do you still need to return to the sect? This is a little
”
After hearing what Ye Ping said, Li Yu couldn’t help but look a little depressed.
To be honest, he really hoped that Ye Ping would go to the Ten Nations Academy and then fight the geniuses of the Ten Nations Academy before trampling over the elite of the Great Xia Dynasty. That would be awesome.
He felt that it would be a waste for Ye Ping to return to the sect.
“Li Yu, remember well, there will always be people who are better than you. I may seem too strong, but in fact, between heaven and earth, there are too many people who are far stronger than me.”
“It’s just like the mystic realm this time. What if it wasn’t a mystic realm? The world outside is full of dangers and continuously increasing one’s strength is the right thing to do.”
Ye Ping said seriously.
However, Li Yu had heard those words countless times before and had already gotten used to hearing them. He had a childlike character and thus couldn’t understand it.
“Senior Brother Ye, are you really not going to the Ten Nations Academy?”
However, at this moment, Huangfu Tianlong appeared. He sensed that Ye Ping had come, so he immediately came outside the One-Line Sky. When he saw Ye Ping, he first bowed before asking seriously.
“Yes, I’m not going.”
Seeing Huangfu Tianlong walking towards him, Ye Ping once again nodded and gave his answer.
“Senior Brother Ye, if you don’t go to the Ten Nations Academy, you won’t be able to join the Great Xia Dynasty Academy, and this time, it’s a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Are you really not going to go?”
“Perhaps, it’s true that the Ten Nations Academy won’t be able to let you learn anything, but the Great Xia Dynasty Academy will definitely exceed your imagination.”
Huangfu Tianlong looked very serious.
He knew that Ye Ping was not impressed by the Ten Nations Academy, and in fact, Huangfu Tianlong despised them too.
However, Huangfu Tianlong knew that the Great Xia Academy was the true goal of the cultivators.
In the Great Xia Dynasty Academy, one could not only learn supreme Mystical Abilities, they could have an eyeopener too.
Broad horizons was something that could not be cultivated in the sect.
“Yes, Master, even if you don’t like the Ten Nations Academy, the Great Xia Dynasty Academy is really different. I heard that the worst student of the Great Xia Dynasty Academy can dominate the Ten Nations.”
“That is where the real elites go to. If you go to the Ten Nations Academy, it probably won’t take you too long to get to the Great Xia Dynasty Academy.”
Li Yu also spoke up in a bid to urge Ye Ping to go to the Ten Nations Academy. After all, joining the Ten Nations Academy was the only way to advance to the Great Xia Dynasty Academy.
If Ye Ping gave up and missed the Great Xia Dynasty Academy, he would have to wait a long time before the next admission.
“I understand that the Great Xia Dynasty Academy is supreme and is a sacred place for cultivators of the Great Xia Dynasty, but I understand even more that with my current strength, I will be a nobody even if I go there.”
“My mind has been made up, don’t try to persuade me anymore.”
Ye Ping answered seriously.
He insisted on not going.
Ye Ping hadn’t changed his thoughts at all.
At this point, both of them seemed to be full of regret.
However, at this moment, a familiar voice sounded.
“Fellow Daoist Huangfu, there’s something wrong with what you just said. The Ten Nations Academy is not the only way to the Great Xia Dynasty Academy. In fact, if there really is a supreme talent, the Great Xia Dynasty Academy will also make an exception and accept him or her.”
“Senior Brother Ye, you were given the chance to enter the Great Xia Dynasty Academy with just one essay that you wrote. It probably won’t be long before someone comes to invite you to the Great Xia Dynasty Academy.
It was Chen Hongfei who said that.
Since the mystic realm assessment, Chen Hongfei had also personally apologized to Ye Ping and the others at the banquet.
Although they did not become close friends, they had at least buried the hatchet. Besides, they only had a verbal dispute and did not bear a huge grudge against each other.
Like an understanding brother, Chen Hongfei said that in front of everyone.
“Is that true?”
Huangfu Tianlong was a little surprised as he had never heard that rule before.
However, before Chen Hongfei could speak, another few figures appeared.
“You are right, Brother Chen. If it is really an elite of the generation, the Great Xia Dynasty Academy would make an exception to recruit him or her. With a single supreme essay, you can totally join the Great Xia Dynasty Academy.”
“Yes, maybe tonight, the people of the Great Xia Dynasty Academy will personally come to look for Ye Ping and recruit him. I hereby congratulate you in advance.”
Nangong Xing and Zhang Ren appeared. They both seemed to know something.
Indeed, after they said that, Huangfu Tianlong and Li Yu couldn’t help but heave a sigh of relief.
“You guys are being too polite. Actually, regardless of whether the Great Xia Dynasty Academy is recruiting or not, I have to return to the sect. There is a vast amount of knowledge in this world, and since my cultivation level is low, I have to train hard.”
Ye Ping knew that everyone was giving him their well wishes with utmost sincerity, but he was also clear that he had only been cultivating for half a year.
If he went straight to the Great Xia Dynasty, it would indeed be a little too fast. Hence, he wanted to take a break and calm his mind, lest his foundation became unstable and he ended up affecting himself. That would be really troublesome.
After he said that, everyone continued being silent.
However, Nangong Xing soon couldn’t help but be emotional.
“Senior Brother Ye, you really deserve to be a supreme elite. If anyone else were in your place, they probably won’t be able to turn down the invitation of the Great Xia Dynasty Academy. However, you are aware of your situation at all times. We really have to learn from you.”
Nangong Xing said.
Everyone couldn’t help but nod too.
“You guys are really praising me too much, but if nothing goes wrong, I should have to leave tomorrow, so I will drink some more wine with you today as an early celebration of you guys joining the Ten Nations Academy.”
Ye Ping said.
This time, he took the initiative to host a banquet in One-Line Sky.
After all, he was leaving tomorrow and didn’t want to leave quietly.
“You’re leaving tomorrow?”
The crowd was a little surprised, but they didn’t say anything more.
They could tell that Ye Ping was determined to leave this time. Since he had already made up his mind, there was nothing else they could say.
On this day, Ye Ping set up a banquet and invited the students of the Ten Nations Academy.
He had also met lots of people.
He continued all the way until late at night.
The banquet ended and Ye Ping left alone. Li Yu wanted to tag along with Ye Ping, but the rewards of the Ten Nations Academy hadn’t been issued yet. Hence, Ye Ping told Li Yu to stay there to collect the rewards before going to the sect to look for him.
However, just as Ye Ping was preparing to leave, the elders of the Ten Nations Academy also came.
They still tried to persuade Ye Ping and talked to Ye Ping for several hours.
In the end, Ye Ping nonetheless turned down the Ten Nations Academy’s invitation and chose to leave.
Besides, the Ten Nations Academy also respected Ye Ping’s decision.
However, the Ten Nations Academy also promised Ye Ping that as long as Ye Ping was willing to join them, they would always open their doors to him.
Hence, Ye Ping stepped onto the Wei Nation Teleportation Array in the morning and returned to Jin Nation.
15 minutes later.
In the capital of Jin Nation.
In the Teleportation Array, Ye Ping opened his eyes.
He stepped out of the Teleportation Array.
Soon, an extremely eye-catching and familiar figure appeared in front of Ye Ping.
It was

His eldest Senior Brother, Su Changyu.
