Chapter 166: Chapter 166: I’m a bit disappointed! (Fifth update)

The Elixir Appreciation Conference was still underway, but by this point not many were still interested in appreciating the elixirs. According to Yang Zhen, one could simply go to Changyue Tower going forward whenever they needed to purchase elixirs.
Yang Zhen’s elixirs were of high quality and reasonably priced. For a moment, all the practitioners cast wary eyes toward the East Forest Elixir Association. The faces of everyone at the East Forest Elixir Association changed unpredictably. Seeing the expressions of the many practitioners, it was clear that the quick development of Changyue Tower on East Forest Island couldn’t be stopped.
But this wasn’t what troubled the East Forest Elixir Association most. If it was merely the rapid development of Changyue Tower, they had ways to crush its business. But given the expressions on the practitioners’ faces, Changyue Tower wouldn’t even need to have its own experts in place.
If anyone did try to interfere with Changyue Tower, these practitioners who profited from the affordable elixirs simply wouldn’t stand for it. And within this group, a substantial number were powerful Practitioners at the Void Cultivation Stage, not to mention several who had long been unhappy with the East Forest Elixir Association.
One could easily imagine that if Changyue Tower faced danger, the practitioners of East Forest Island would undoubtedly help defend it.
There Yang Zhen was. Smiling frivolously and chatting cheerfully with Elder Ci. His demeanor was lax, and yet despite such an attitude, Elder Ci seemed fond of him, and that fondness seemed to grow with time.
After Yang Zhen departed, Hua Youyue and her companions from Changyue Tower were immediately surrounded by a group of practitioners. Nobody there was foolish. If they didn’t build good relations now, they might never get the chance.
Gauging the relationship between Elder Ci and Yang Zhen, together with Yang Zhen’s status within Changyue Tower, it was clear that Changyue Tower was bound to receive Elder Ci’s protection on East Forest Island in the future.
That was quite frightening!
Everyone watched the departing figures of Yang Zhen and his group, falling into a deep state of shock.
!!..
Who would have thought that a previously unknown youth could wield so much power, lifting the failing Changyue Tower back to its feet? Not only did they turn defeat into victory, they also managed to establish a relationship with Elder Ci.
Elder Ci seemed satisfied with his conversation with Yang Zhen. After resolving the matters at hand, he left with the young man in white and the girl with the purple skirt.
As the young man in white was leaving, he came up to Hua Youyue, grinned and said, “Senior Sister Hua, we’ll be relying on you for our elixir supplies.” Hua Youyue nodded and replied with a smile, “It’s our honor to cooperate with Heavenly Mystery Cave Sky.”
The young man in white looked taken aback at that, shaking his head in laughter. “Not Heavenly Mystery Cave Sky, just us, only our small group”
Hua Youyue hesitated as she looked at the young man. Many moments later, she sighed and said, “Are you…really sure about this?
The young man laughed and nodded, “You know that it’s a step we have to take eventually. We heard about the events on Wanhua Island before coming here. Since there’s already news of the Eastern Desolation Emperor there, we decided to take action earlier.”
Hua Youyue nodded, “The Eastern Desolation Emperor is a figure who has shocked the world. His news will likely attract attention from everyone in Donghuang. You…did you also see that inscription?.”
“That’s right!” The young man in white sighed, “In about a year, the Donghuang Gathering will take place. We might all die on the Spirit Road then so we can only venture a stake for it now.”
Hearing the mention of the Donghuang Gathering, Hua Youyue shuddered.
After a moment, she said, “Be careful.”
The young man in white burst into laughter, “Compared to you, how do we really matter? The Flower Spirit Girl from that year, among the disciples of Heavenly Mystery Cave Sky, many still respect you to this day.”
Hua Youyue laughed and wore a nostalgic smile, “That’s all in the past. Now, I
just want to develop Changyue Tower.”
The young man in white looked solemnly at Hua Youyue for a moment, “Senior Sister, we’re leaving. You…should spend more time with Yang Zhen.”
Hua Youyue blushed slightly and stared at the young man in surprise, “Did you notice something?”
The young man nodded and replied in a serious, low voice, “He has…that kind of power.”
“What?” Hua Youyue was greatly shaken, looking at the young man in disbelief. The young man shook his head, didn’t elaborate further, and turned to leave, saying to himself, “Such a freak, this level of talent would be considered exceptional even in Heavenly Mystery Cave Sky. It seems there’s more to this world than I ever imagined. I, Bai Xuan, have been too arrogant!” The girl in the purple skirt laughed, “What’s wrong, Senior Brother Bai? Have you taken an interest in Yang Zhen?”
Bai Xuan laughed heartily, saying, “Let’s go, he’s no match for me now. If he were to come to the Spirit Road, there might be a fight between us.”
“I wonder how excited Yang Zhen would be if he knew how highly you think of him!”
Bai Xuan gave a bitter smile and said, “Not necessarily!”
Meanwhile, Yang Zhen grumbled all the way, “Tsk, does that guy in white have a problem with his sexual orientation?”
The cheeky cat sneered and said, “Kid, that guy in white isn’t simple, you’re probably no match for him now.”
Yang Zhen grinned and said, “I won’t know until I fight him. I just don’t like the way he looks at people, like he wants to eat them, gives me the chills.”
The cheeky cat cried out in surprise, “Kid, I heard some news. They might have come here for that. Are you interested?”
Yang Zhen glanced at the cheeky cat and said, “You mean, the Eastern Desolation Emperor?”
The cheeky cat widened his eyes and asked in surprise, “You already know?” “I’m the man who is going to be the Pirate King!”
“That’s good, that’s good, kid, when you become the Pirate King, be sure to tell me, I want to leave something for future generations to find. Tsk, like the Eastern Desolation Emperor, he only left a trace of his inscription and shook the whole Donghuang, now that’s a real big shot!”
Yang Zhen laughed and said, “Alright, you can leave something then. But what’s going on with this Eastern Desolation?”
The cheeky cat sneered and glanced at Yang Zhen, “You don’t know? Donghuang is actually a term from ancient times, the world was much larger than it is now, but somehow it just exploded suddenly!”
At this point, the cheeky cat chuckled, “The current Nether State Continent is equivalent to just a speck of dust from that time!”
Yang Zhen was shocked and asked, “Isn’t that a bit exaggerated?”
The cheeky cat smirked and looked up at the sky, muttering, “This world is far bigger and more amazing than you can imagine.”
Yang Zhen kicked out at him, “Don’t show off in front of me!”
“Gosh!” The cheeky cat was furious, pointing at Yang Zhen, “Kid, you want to fight, don’t you?”
Yang Zhen winked at the cheeky cat, “And what if I do?”
The cheeky cat, as if it had not seen anything, jumped up in surprise, “If you want to fight, come on! I’ll run first, if you can catch me, you win!”
After saying that, the cheeky cat ran out of sight, leaving Yang Zhen standing there dumbfounded and swearing.
“Damn, you’re so unfaithful!”
Yang Zhen stood leisurely in place, two people emerged not far away, and walked over smiling at Yang Zhen. One of the old men sneered and said, “Young man, do you think you can leave now, you really take us lightly, don’t you?”
The hell, when did you see me, Sao Saint, planning to leave?
Yang Zhen glanced at the two of them and said, “Oh, what are you two?”
The old man turned pale with anger, looked at his companion and said, “Sharp-tongued, this place is not suitable for a long stay, quick fight, kill this kid!”
Yang Zhen sighed, shook his head and said, “I’m not actually fond of fights and killings; I’m a bit disappointed with the tricks you guys from East Forest Dan have..”
