Nine Heavenly Star Art

Chapter 181: You Owe Me a New Shirt!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

This Emerald Cloud Sword was a Tier Three spirit artifact and could be considered a high-quality item, worth over ten thousand Chi Deposition Pills. It was one of the Emerald Cloud Sect’s most precious items. Usually, Nie Qingyun was reluctant to use it but when he used it today, it had broken into pieces!

Nie Qingyun was on the verge of crying. He lunged toward Little Wingsy with a furious growl, swinging a fist that was as solid as metal. “You owe me an Emerald Cloud Sword!”

Little Wingsy felt the sword clanging on his back and turned his shirt around to look at it. There was a huge tear in it. Earlier, Nie Qingyun had been using internal energy, so despite all his blows, Little Wingsy’s shirt was undamaged. However, now that Nie Qingyun had used the sword, the shirt was torn!

Little Wingsy’s expression darkened at once. He dashed toward Nie Qingyun like a tiger cub, roaring angrily. “This is a new shirt that Big Sister Little Tanuki had picked out for me. You owe me a shirt!” A fist flew out.

There was a loud “boom”. The surrounding Earthly Venerable Rank fighters changed their attitude. It was a showdown between two Heavenly Venerable Rank experts!

The two punches were not just for show. Both sides were using all their force!

When Ye Chen sensed the majestic, surging Celestial Chi from Nie Qingyun, he felt his heart clenched. He could not help but feel worried. After all, this was a top Heavenly Venerable Rank fighter. Even if Ye Chen used his Astral Body, he might not be able to withstand that blow!

After Little Wingsy took the blow, he stumbled five or six steps back before finding his footing. The limestone on the floor had burst into fragments that flew everywhere.

Those Earthly Venerable Rank fighters waved their fists to shatter the limestone fragments that were heading toward them. When they locked their gazes onto the center of the violent battle, they were stupefied. What they saw was Nie Qingyun flying backward by a dozen meters and crashing into a wall. The wall was instantly reduced to rubble. Nie Qingyun’s clothes were in tatters and he was covered in dust, looking battered and exhausted.

A top Heavenly Venerable Rank fighter had been reduced to such a state. The crowd of Earthly Venerable Rank fighters exchanged petrified looks, then turned toward Little Wingsy in horror.

Nie Qingyun was not injured but this punch had shaken the Celestial Chi in his body. He looked toward Little Wingsy and fear flashed in his eyes. He moved quickly. “Monster! I won’t fight with you anymore!” Like a massive bird of prey, he hurriedly sprang up and fled.

“Old man, don’t go. You owe me a shirt!” Little Wingsy was boiling with anger but stopped after chasing for a few steps. Nie Qingyun had already disappeared into the distant forest. If he did not transform into his original form, he would not catch up to Nie Qingyun. However, Big Brother Ye Chen had told him never to resume his original form in front of people!

Little Wingsy turned back to look at those Earthly Venerable Rank fighters from the Taiyi Sword Sect and the Stalwarts of the Heavenly Stars Sect, who exchanged dismayed glances.

“Run!” Ten or so Earthly Venerable Rank fighters scattered and fled in fright, fearful of going against a monster like Little Wingsy.

Great Emperor Mingwu alone was handling two Heavenly Venerable Rank experts. Although he could just about hold them off, it was very taxing. If it were not for his numerous spirit artifacts, he would have been defeated by now. Although they were fighting fiercely in mid-air, every now and then, they still monitored the situation below.

When Nie Qingyun had appeared, Xiang Xiong and Yan Fengcheng nearly erupted in curses. When they sent their people to invite Nie Qingyun, he had claimed that he was in isolated cultivation and could not come. Thus, the two sects had sent out all of their best fighters and finally managed to hold off Great Emperor Mingwu’s and Master Apothecary Xuanyi’s men after much effort. However, the wily old fox Nie Qingyun had nearly run away with the spoils.

At first, Nie Qingyun thought that he was sure to succeed but unexpectedly, this five, six-year-old kid showed up. This kid’s origin was unknown and he still had not grown all his hair. Even so, he was able to fight the sect leader of the Emerald Cloud Sect, a top Heavenly Venerable Rank fighter, who was pathetically sent packing. This was too f*cking bizarre!

The group of Earthly Venerable experts from the Taiyi Sword Sect and the Stalwarts of the Heavenly Stars Sect had been frightened away. Why the h*ll were they still fighting?

Xiang Xiong and Yan Fengcheng exchanged a glance.

“Let’s go!”

“Mingwu you squirt, there are no winners today. We’ll continue this someday else.” Yan Fengcheng zoomed away.

Xiang Xiong also vanished high into the sky.

Great Emperor Mingwu grunted in a low voice and kept his long sword. Those two fogies were shameless. Would they dare to pick a fight with him alone? They had the nerve to say that! Even if he fought them for a few hours, Great Emperor Mingwu would not be defeated. He turned around to look at Little Wingsy and frowned deeply. When Nie Qingyun had shown up, Great Emperor Mingwu thought that Nie Qingyun would get the spoils but he had never thought that Nie Qingyun would be defeated at the hands of a five, six-year-old child. Where did this child come from to have such tyrannical strength?

The Taiyi Sword Sect did not lose much, with only a few elders injured. The Stalwarts of the Heavenly Stars Sect was the worst. Xi Yang and Xi Li were killed in battle and Fang Bai was crippled by grievous injuries. Their sect leader was probably going to lose it upon their return. Nurturing an Earthly Venerable Rank fighter was not easy.

Great Emperor Mingwu landed on the ground and looked toward Ye Chen and Little Wingsy. Little Wingsy kept following behind Ye Chen. Great Emperor Mingwu wondered how Little Wingsy was related to Ye Chen for he seemed to do everything that Ye Chen told him to. Previously, the gold-armored imperial guards had learned about how Little Wingsy had shattered the bones of the Gold-armored Fish in one punch. At that point, Great Emperor Mingwu had taken notice but he did not expect Little Wingsy to be this formidable.

Fortunately, Great Emperor Mingwu’s relationship with Ye Chen was not too bad. He was certain now that Ye Chen was a disciple of a mysterious sect, which was completely on par with the super sects in the Central Empire!

“How are you? Are you hurt?” Great Emperor Mingwu looked at Ye Chen and asked kindly. By now, he had already viewed Ye Chen as an equal.

Ye Chen’s injuries had healed and he stood up with a shake of his head. “I’m fine.”

The Earthly Venerable fighters under Master Apothecary Xuanyi and Great Emperor Mingwu looked toward Ye Chen and Little Wingsy with perplexed expressions, secretly thinking that those two were monsters! In the future, even if they had ten extra guts, they would not dare to provoke Ye Chen and Little Wingsy. In particular, those Earthly Venerable Rank fighters working for Great Emperor Mingwu were making a mental note to warn their loved ones to never provoke these two.

Even the outside world did not know that Great Emperor Mingwu had so many Earthly Venerable experts under his command. This time, Great Emperor Mingwu had sent out his best, demonstrating for the first time in front of everyone that although the Xiwu Royal Tribe had declined, the Three Major Sects were not that strong either. He was only slightly lacking when it came to dealing with two sects at once. If he had the help of Human Tier medicinal pills, the situation would be different.

As they spoke, a medicinal scent drifted from the alchemy room.

“The medicinal pills are done!” Great Emperor Mingwu looked excited.

Ye Chen pushed open the doors of the alchemy room, bringing Little Wingsy in with him. Great Emperor Mingwu followed close behind.

“Master, have the medicinal pills refined and produced?” Ye Chen asked.

“That’s right.” Master Apothecary Xuanyi laughed in relief. He had been refining and producing the pills for half the day. After the pills were done, he had counted them. “There are five hundred and twenty Purple-gold Divine Pills in total!”

The purple medicinal pills were like large pearls, glowing with a faint, purple luster. That intense medicinal scent had a refreshing note to it, causing one to feel carefree and relaxed upon smelling it.

Every single Human Tier medicinal pill was worth tens of thousands, perhaps even over a hundred thousand, Chi Deposition Pills. It was comparable to a Tier Three spirit artifact!

How could a treasure like this not incite the Three Major Sects to try and seize it? In the Xiwu Empire, the wealth of a Second-rank Prince would be a few hundred thousand Chi-amassing Pills at most. The Three Major Sects and the Xiwu Royal Tribe were much richer. They could hand over tens of thousands of Chi Deposition Pills. They would also have a few Tier One and Tier Two spirit artifacts in possession. To them, a Tier Three spirit artifact could rule the sect and was a treasure to be passed down.

Five hundred and twenty Purple-gold Divine Pills were equivalent to five hundred and twenty Tier Three spirit artifacts! Perhaps this was nothing much to some of the rich families in the Central Empire. Nevertheless, to the Xiwu Royal Tribe and the Three Major Sects, the Taiyi Sword Sect, the Emerald Cloud Sect, and the Stalwarts of the Heavenly Stars Sect, it was enough to drive them crazy!

Ye Chen generously gave Master Apothecary Xuanyi, Li Xu, and Great Emperor Mingwu sixty medicinal pills each, leaving three hundred and forty for himself.

Ye Chen could just hand out so many Human Tier medicinal pills so breezily. He was generous indeed.

It must be said that Great Emperor Mingwu was rather tempted when faced with so many medicinal pills. If he could get all of them, how many Tenth Level, Earthly Venerable Rank fighters could he nurture? At least, he could sustain the Xiwu Empire for a few more centuries!

Great Emperor Mingwu was willing to be cursed and criticized for the sake of his clan. Even so, after some deliberation, he stopped these thoughts. Sixty Human Tier medicinal pills were a rather decent crop. The cultivation bases of Ye Chen and Little Wingsy were already at this level now. In the future, they would certainly rise as supreme powerhouses. There was no need to offend two future supreme powerhouses for the sake of these medicinal pills!

Moreover, Little Wingsy’s cultivation base was even more shocking. Even the Tier Three spirit artifact – the Emerald Cloud Sword – could not cut him. Great Emperor Mingwu might not even be a match for Little Wingsy! Furthermore, now that he and Ye Chen had worked together, perhaps he could receive even more superb medicinal pills in the future!

“Little Wingsy, has your cultivation base recovered?” Things had been too chaotic earlier and Ye Chen did not manage to ask about Little Wingsy’s state. Now that the fight was over, he pulled Little Wingsy aside and inquired.

Little Wingsy shook his head gloomily. “I’ve only recovered by a bit.” However, after some thought, he burst into a smile. “Still, the recovery so far has been very good. That fish soup is effective in healing injuries.” Little Wingsy had a pure heart and soon forgot about his dispirited mood.

Ye Chen used his Astral Body to examine Little Wingsy. Little Wingsy had recovered somewhat and was no longer inferior to a mid-Heavenly Venerable Rank fighter. Thus, he had been able to defeat a top Heavenly Venerable Rank expert like Nie Qingyun. This was because Little Wingsy’s body still had that strange power. After all, he would have power at the Daemon King Stage at least, if he reached his peak. Even after he was injured, his body was still that of a Daemon King!

Little Wingsy’s tough body was no lesser than a Tier Five spirit artifact. When Nie Qingyun’s Emerald Cloud Sword had cut across Little Wingsy’s body, the only possible outcome was it would break. If Nie Qingyun had kept dodging and avoided fighting Little Wingsy directly, Nie Qingyun would have fared better. The moment the Emerald Cloud Sword shattered, Nie Qingyun’s emotions were wrecked to the extreme. That was the treasure which had ruled the Emerald Cloud Sect. Without thinking, Nie Qingyun had rushed to exchange blows with Little Wingsy. Was that not asking for trouble?

When Ye Chen recalled how pathetic Nie Qingyun had looked, he could not suppress his smile.

Since the soup made from the Purple-gold Divine Fish was effective, the Purple-gold Divine Pills should be able to help Little Wingsy recover from his injuries! As Ye Chen thought of this, he reached out and grabbed a handful of medicinal pills, stuffed them into the Heaven-Earth Pouch, and handed them to Little Wingsy. “Little Wingsy, take these medicinal pills and eat them first. After you’ve finished them, get more from me.” If Little Wingsy’s injuries could be healed, giving up these Human Tier medicinal pills were nothing much.

Little Wingsy was rather naïve but even he knew that these medicinal pills which everyone was after must be valuable. Nonetheless, Ye Chen was giving him so many pills. The rim of his eyes turned red. Besides Grandpa, only Big Brother Ye Chen and Big Sister Little Tanuki would treat him so well. Not only did they give him mutton legs to eat and bought him new clothes but they also made fish soup for him, and now, these medicinal pills...
