Chapter 276

Ever since the battle between the Righteous and Corrupt paths, Elder Sun had been incredibly depressed . He had failed to kill Long Chen, and Tu Fang had even managed to pick up some clues .

Once everyone had returned to the monastery, all the elders had received a huge number of merit points as rewards . However, he had obtained less than half of what the others had .

These so-called merit points were essentially what the disciples’ points were, but for Elders .

Using those merit points, Elders could exchange for whatever cultivation resources they needed from the monastery . If the monastery didn’t have it, then they could go to the supermonastery to exchange for it . The supermonastery was a level higher than the monastery, and it contained all kinds of treasures . Of course, the prerequisite was that you had enough merit points .

Merit points were essential for Elders . Their main source of merit points was from their monthly rations .

But partic.i.p.ating in a huge battle would naturally earn you many more . During most of the battles between the Righteous and Corrupt paths, these Elders would obtain around a year’s worth of resources .

However, during the battle this time, the Elders had not just been bystanders, but had personally taken action, undergoing a life and death battle .

And so the rewards for this battle were much more plentiful, equivalent to around ten years of working in the monastery .

The other Elders had gone crazy with joy . Only Elder Sun’s reward had been cut in half .

But he also didn’t dare argue . That was because when Elder Tu Fang had given him his rewards, he had said, “The rewards are given out in accordance to how much effort you put in . You understand . ”

Hearing him say ‘you understand’, Elder Sun’s complaints died in his stomach .

Elder Sun had gloomily returned to his immortal cave . The next day, a piece of news came that infuriated him even more . An Elder who had fought remarkably during that battle was replacing him as the Elder in charge of the Xuantian pavilion .

That news made him almost explode in fury . The monthly rations for Elders were split in accordance to their position . He had been in charge of the Xiantian pavilion for decades . He hadn’t expected Tu Fang to be so vicious and take away that position .

He was now essentially a sinecure Elder . A sinecure Elder had no position and would get the lowest amount of rations .

Even amongst the other Elders of the monastery, he had been a high-ranking figure . The other Elders would all have to be courteous when speaking to him .

But now because of a just an ‘accident’, he had been suspended from his position . Without those resources, he would have to live sparingly and his cultivation would stall .

Due to that, Elder Sun had thickened his face and quietly gone to find Tu Fang to ask why he had done this .

And Tu Fang’s reply had almost made him explode:

“You understand . ”

Elder Sun had directly returned to his immortal cave and destroyed all his decorations and ornaments in his fury . He swore that if Tu Fang dared say those words to him again, he would throttle him .

During these days, Elder Sun had been unable to eat well, had been unable to sleep properly, and hadn’t had the heart to cultivate . He felt he might go crazy from his fury .

He knew Tu Fang was doing this because of his hidden trick . Tu Fang had failed to charge him for the matter of letting that Corrupt Elder attack Long Chen because of his perfect cover up . This was just Tu Fang’s petty revenge after not being able to take him in .

On this day, Elder Sun had finally not been able to bear it any longer and had once more smashed apart the decorations of his immortal cave that had only just been replaced, making him feel much better .

“Reporting to Elder, Long Chen had come to see you . ”

Just as Elder Sun’s mood had recovered a bit, Long Chen came in . Seeing the mess of his immortal cave, he clapped .

“Elder Sun really is amazing . You actually exercise so early in the morning!”

“Long Chen, you better stop boasting around me . Speak, what do you want? If you only came here to laugh at me, then get lost!” Elder Sun gloomily glared at Long Chen .

Long Chen was currently smiling like he had been blessed by the heavens . That caused Elder Sun’s fury to immediately reignite .

“Having lived for so long, you should try to stop getting so angry . Don’t the books say that people who can resist negativity have the strongest willpower? Looking at how negative you are, I’d say you need to work on that,” sighed Long Chen .

“Are you looking to die?!” raged Elder Sun . Long Chen’s insult of being a ‘negative person’ was directed to those male cultivators who trained in Yin techniques, becoming neither Yin or Yang, ending up neither male or female .

“Looking for c.r.a.p[1]? Correct, otherwise why would I be here? I came here precisely to look for a piece of c.r.a.p like you!”

“Long Chen, don’t make me kill you!” Elder Sun’s eyes were completely red, and his aura completely erupted out . He was on the verge of going out of control .

“First of all, you aren’t able to kill me . Even if I don’t have Chu Yao’s support, you aren’t able to kill me instantly . Attacking me would just be a waste of energy . And furthermore, if you do attack, you’ll regret it for a lifetime . That’s because you’ll lose any chance of obtaining that thing you long for even in your dreams . ”

Long Chen picked up a chair that only had a single leg broken . Leaning it against the wall, he sat on it comfortably, crossing his legs, looking at Elder Sun nonchalantly .

Elder Sun knew Long Chen really was a monster . Even if he didn’t have Chu Yao’s help, there was no way he would be able to kill him within just two or three moves .
