Chapter 2254: Chaotic Canyon
Zhao Hai looked at Qin Feng and couldn’t help but smile, “Brother Qin really likes his refreshnts. However, looking at you now, I’m afraid you are soone who can’t keep money in their hands. I can see that you will spend all your money today.”
“Ba!” Qin Feng pounded the table. Then he laughed and said, “You’re right, Brother. But people are alive, and I like to live a happy life. If you have money and don’t spend it, what’s the point? One of the inextinguishable things in this world is money. There’s no point keeping it if you can still get your hands on it later!”
“Put your voice down! And don’t pound on my table! You’re going to destroy it!” As Qin Feng shouted, Old Wang’s annoyed voice was conveyed. All of a sudden, Qin Feng looked like a crowed rooster. He shrunk his neck as his face reddened in embarrassnt. He didn’t dare answer back.
Zhao Hai felt that Qin Feng was an interesting person. He couldn’t help but laugh as he looked at Qin Feng. Then he asked, “Brother Qing, you seem to be afraid of Manager Wang? May I ask why?”
Qin Feng smiled bitterly and said, “My Father and Old Wang are good friends. But during one of his excursions to Gale Canyon, my father died. Uncle Wang took in. If it weren’t for Uncle Wang, I wouldn’t be here today. Uncle Wang treats like a son, and I regard him as my foster father. How could I now be afraid of him?”
Zhao Hai nodded, now understanding why Qin Feng was afraid of the shopkeeper. At the sa ti, he also understood why Manager Wang tolerates Qin Feng.
Qin Feng looked at Zhao Hai and said, “Brother, if you believe , don’t go to Gale Canyon. That’s not a place for soone below Earth Monarch Stage. Even Earth Monarchs have to be cautious whenever they go to the canon. Otherwise, the consequences would be dreadful.”
Zhao Hai stared, he looked at Qin Feng and said, “Brother Qin, why do you say this?”
Qin Feng sighed and said, “I heard from my father that the canyon used to have Clone Stage and Soul Fusion Stage cultivators going for trials. This is because there are countless treasures and beasts there. Everyone who went gained sothing. But after so many years of wanton looting, the first 20 thousand miles towards Gale Canyon beca a barren land with nothing left. The stones there have been turned over many tis. There’s nothing to pick up at all.”
As he said this, Qin Feng paused, then he sighed and said, “Beyond 20 thousand miles is a danger zone for Clone Stage and Soul Fusion Stage cultivators. Beasts there are extrely powerful, even Earth Monarchs couldn’t dare face them. Every year, news of Earth Monarch deaths could be heard in the town.”
Then Qin Feng let out a long breath and said, “Naturally, the most dangerous thing in Gale Canyon aren’t beasts, but the people. There’s nothing to collect in the first 20 thousand miles, but there are still many cultivators going there. These cultivators are murderers and treasure hunters. In the beginning, only Clone Stage and Soul Fusion Stage cultivators participated, but later on Earth Monarchs started to appear. Slowly, the Clone Stage and the Soul Fusion Stage cultivators stopped coming. This is because Clone Stage and Soul Fusion Stage cultivators would get robbed as soon as they entered the region. So may be released upon getting robbed, but most are killed outright. Now, there are fewer and fewer low-level cultivators in the canyon. And from 20 thousand miles to 50 thousand miles, Earth Monarchs have gone crazy. It’s a huge ss. If you aren’t an Earth Monarch or don’t have a group, it’s better to stay away. Your life may be taken at any ti.”
Then Qin Feng looked at Zhao Hai’s eyes, waiting for his response. Zhao Hai saw Qin Feng’s expression and smiled, “Thanks Brother for the advice. But you can rest assured, I ca to Gale Canyon because I have thods to save my life. I won’t hide it from you, I ca this ti to prepare for the Forbidden Path Sect’s recruitnt. I want to improve my strength in a short period of ti.”
Hearing Zhao Hai, Qin Feng stared, then he nodded and said, “I know about the Forbidden Path Sect’s recruitnt. Although I want to participate, the sect prefers body cultivators. No matter what cultivation thod you studied in the past, the sect will force you to learn body cultivation thods once you enter. My body isn’t suitable for body cultivation, so I didn’t plan on participating. I didn’t expect you to co for this, no wonder.”
Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, “Right, I ca for this. I want to join the sect because there are countless brothers placing their hopes on . I can’t let them down.” Zhao Hai said this with a firm tone.
What Zhao Hai said was half true and half false. He wanted to join the Forbidden Path Sect, but his reason wasn’t the Blood Knife Gang.
The Blood Knife Gang wasn’t a major gang. Even if Zhao Hai didn’t like them in the beginning, Wang Da and Liu Zhen have been good to him. Now that the Blood Knife Gang was facing a crisis, if Zhao Hai didn’t join the Forbidden Path Sect, the gang would be wiped out. This wasn’t sothing that Zhao Hai wanted to see.
Therefore, what Zhao Hai said was technically not a lie. He really wanted to help the Blood Knife Gang. No matter what, the gang did him quite a few favors. Moreover, the gang could provide him an identity to infiltrate the Forbidden Path Sect.
Hearing Zhao Hai, Qin Feng beca curious. He looked at Zhao Hai and said, “Brother, is it alright for you to tell what happened?”
Zhao Hai nodded, then he told Qin Feng about his matters. Naturally, he couldn’t tell him the truth. He said that he was from a declining cultivator clan. For the clan’s future, he was sent out to get experience along with two other people. At the sa ti, he hopes that he could get resources to give to the clan. He also told Qin Feng about his mbership to the Blood Knife Gang. He told him about his seclusion and finally his decision to co to Gale Canyon to temper himself.
Hearing Zhao Hai, Qin Feng couldn’t help but sigh, “I see. It seems like you have no choice but to join the Forbidden Path Sect. That’s fine. If you can really join the sect, both your clan and the Blood Knife Gang will benefit greatly.”
Zhao Hai nodded, then he smiled faintly and said, “I have a few savings in , so I want to go to the auction to see if I can buy anything good. If I’m lucky, I might find life-saving thods to help in the Gale Canyon.”
Qin Feng smiled bitterly and said, “Normally, it wouldn’t be wrong to have that idea. But this ti, I’m afraid that you will be disappointed. The auction will be a large one. Although there will be good things sold, there are sect disciples among the buyers. Those items will be sold for a high price. Moreover, if those sect disciples want sothing, it would be difficult to take it away from them.”
Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, “Don’t worry, I’ll just go take a look. At most, I would miss one or two days of training.”
Qin Feng nodded, “That’s good. Three days later, I’ll accompany you to the auction. We’re going to the Windrange Auction House. I heard the person behind the shop is from the Forbidden Path Sect. Nobody would dare cause any trouble there. But brother, your cultivation is too low. I’m afraid you won’t be able to get inside if you don’t have anyone accompanying you.”
Zhao Hai smiled faintly, then he raised his glass and said, “Then, I’ll have to thank Brother Qin in advance.”
Qin Feng laughed, then he clinked his glass with Zhao Hai’s and then downed the wine.
Manager Wang looked at the two, a flash of light went through his eyes. This wasn’t the first ti Qin Feng brought soone to the hotel. Qin Feng had a good personality which made it easy for him to make friends. The friends he t were often wine and at lovers, most of them good-for-nothings. Manager Wang looked down on the friends that Qin Feng made.
However, Zhao Hai was different. Although Zhao Hai was only a Soul Fusion cultivator, Manager Wang could feel that he had a special temperant. Zhao Hai looked calm and composed despite all the warnings he got. Such a temperant wasn’t sothing that anyone could have.
Although Manager Wang was only a rogue cultivator, his strength wasn’t fake. Moreover, he had lived for quite a long ti. He had seen all kinds of people. Zhao Hai’s temperant was commonly seen on Core Disciples of sects. Disciples of smaller sects wouldn’t have such temperants. Looking at Zhao Hai, Manager Wang couldn’t help but make guesses on his identity.
Zhao Hai might have ntioned that he was participating in the Forbidden Path Sect’s recruitnt, but Manager Wang had enough insight to know that Zhao Hai’s status wasn’t simple. This also confused Manager Wang as to why Zhao Hai wanted to join the Forbidden Path Sect. But he didn’t dwell too much on it. He knew that there were things that he shouldn’t know. It wouldn’t be good for him if he knew too much. Nevertheless, he was happy that Qin Feng could befriend Zhao Hai. In his opinion, Qin Feng made many mistakes, and this was the rare instance that he made the right decision.
