Chapter 195: Work Hard To Live (2/2)

Yan City Immortal Jade House. This wasn’t only the number one hotel in Yan City, it was also the number one hotel in the entire Tian Shang Empire.

Not only was the environment pleasant, the spiritual energy was dense and rich and it’s horizons was wide and spacious. From the Yan City Immortal Jade House, one can easily see the Hundred Sect Alliance’s contribution points ranking on the Yan City Plaza. Additionally, the Yan City Immortal Jade House had a specialised transaction hall.

During the war between the Five Great Empires and the alien cultivators, there were naturally many spoils of war. A portion of cultivators would trade these away at the marketplace, but there were some who would also go the the Yan City Immortal Jade House.

Recently, the alien cultivators had withdrawn from the Thunder Fog Forest and regrouped with the alien cultivators within the Tian Shang Empire. Naturally, the Five Great Empire’s cultivators rushed to the Yan City encampment. This caused Yan City to burst with activity, and Yan City Immortal Jade House also became more lively.

To attract more people, the Immortal Jade House directly changed all ten of its floors into teahouses. Here, people could chat and talk while drinking tea. At the same time, they could engage in simple trade without needing to visit the transaction hall.

More and more cultivators liked to visit the Immortal Jade House. Here, they could talk carefreely and drink to their heart’s content.

Besides the war with the alien cultivators, the hottest topic of discussion was the contribution points ranking shown on the Yan City Plaza. The topic of greatest discussion wasn’t the Rank 1 Great Evolution Sect’s Xi Yixuan, nor was it the Rank 2 and 3 Heaven Seeking Palace’s Feng Luoqiu and Gou Zihan, but the anonymous rogue cultivator, Rogue Cultivator 2705.

In half a year, Rogue Cultivator 2705, this black horse, catapulted straight into the Hundred Sect Alliance’s contribution points rankins. Not only that, he even charged straight up to Rank 10. Over the past few months, Rogue Cultivator 2705 soundlessly disappeared as he got overtaken by genius after genius.

Many people even began to suspect that this Rogue Cultivator 2705 met with some great luck and managed to kill an expert at the Great Circle of the Nihility God Stage. That’s how he got 9000 points at one go. It was like this till two months ago when Rogue Cultivator 2705 soared back to fame. At one go, his points jumped by over 3000. With a total number of contribution points of 12076, he charged up to the top 6.

The Hundred Sect Alliance Contribution Point Board refreshed to reflect this new results. Seeing Rogue Cultivator 2705 at Rank 6 with 12076 points, the number of people who attributed his points to luck gradually lessened.

Luck might work once, but it wouldn’t always be so good. Furthermore, this time around, many clearly saw how the points rose. It wasn’t a simple jump of 3000, but a gradual increase of points.

According to a shop assistant from the Immortal Jade House, he was standing right in front of the board at Yan City Plaza on that fateful day. He personally saw Rogue Cultivator 2705’s contribution points rising gradually. Within two hours, it refreshed more than a hundred times.

The cultivators who were sitting near the window were also discussing about Rogue Cultivator 2705. When one of them mentioned the words of that shop assistant, another cultivator immediately chided, ”That’s impossible. I can believe that the points changed for more than a hundred times. After all, points were the cumulation of the constant killing of alien cultivators. But you say that the points changed a hundred times within two hours? Forgive me for not believing you, but your words are simply too absurd.”

”Why is it impossible?” The cultivator who relayed the shop assistant’s story was a little discontented. The other cultivator’s words made him seem like he was speaking blindly.

The disbelieving cultivator said plainly, ”Think about it. If the points kept changing more than a hundred times within two hours, what would it mean? It would mean the Rogue Cultivator 2705 had been surrounded by hundreds of alien cultivators. Facing the siege of hundreds of cultivators, he did not kill all of them at one go, but killed each of the alien cultivators one at a time, what would it mean then? It shows that this rogue cultivator’s power isn’t high. A rogue cultivator with a low cultivation, encircled by hundreds of alien cultivators. Not only wasn’t he killed, he slashed them down slowly one at a time. Is that possible? Unless you’re telling me that his opponents are all pigs at an abattoir, waiting to get slaughtered?”

The relaying cultivator was stunned by these barrage of questions, and he stuttered, ”Hearing your explanations, it doesn’t really seem possible.”

”Why is it impossible? I can confirm that it’s true. I can also confirm that Rogue Cultivator 2705 has yet to advance into the Earth Realm.” A clear, crisp voice said with a hint of dissatisfaction.

That voice was a little too loud and it immediately attracted everyone’s attention.

The one speaking was a lady in a green skirt. She saw the crowds converging their attention on her, and she continued to speak loudly, ”I personally saw the aftermath of his battle. The entire area was surrounded with the corpses of alien cultivators, while he was also heavily injured. Still, he even helped my Heaven Seeking Palace Pill Pagoda’s Senior Jinwen to kill an expert at the Great Circle of the True Lake Stage.”

The green skirted lady was exactly one of the two ladies with Yan’Er. She had always believed that Mo Wuji was Rogue Cultivator 2705.

”Who’s to know that what you’re saying is true? Many people claim that they know 2705 but those claims turned out to be false.” Someone spoke out among the crowd.

Rogue Cultivator 2705 wasn’t the only person with such an illustrious reputation, any cultivator who could enter the top 100 was a proud child of heavens. Each and every one of these cultivators had an immense popularity in Yan City. If they entered the Immortal Jade House, the Immortal Jade House would not accept any fees and would even feel proud.

Rogue Cultivator 2705 was in Rank 6, naturally, he was in the Five Great Empire’s hall of fame. If an average sect head were to meet him, the sect head would still need to pause and say hello. To be personally acquainted with this kind of genius was akin to sticking gold on your face.

Thus, many people wanted to acquaint themselves with the geniuses on the Hundred Sect Alliance Contribution Point Board. But a majority of these geniuses already had an established reputation with a well-known name. Only Rogue Cultivator 2705 was anonymous and unknown. It was because of this, that many people claimed that they knew Rogue Cultivator 2705.

”I am the Heaven Seeking Palace Dao Gate’s inner disciple, Xue Tongsi. When the incident happened, I was not the only one present; Senior Jinwen was also there. Moreover, Heaven Seeking Palace’s number one genius, Yan’Er, and the Great Evolution Sect’s junior Ling Yizhen were also there. Rogue Cultivator 2705 even risked his life to save Yan’Er. Would I need to lie about such things?” The green skirted lady’s face swelled till it looked a little ugly. When they linked her to those imposters who claimed that they knew 2705, she could not help but be angry.

”This senior is indeed a Heaven Seeking Palace’s inner disciple, she wouldn’t lie.” Someone among the crowd recognised Xue Tongsi.

”Senior Xue, how did this Rogue Cultivator 2705 look like?” Another person among the crowd asked.
