The Legendary Master’s Wife - Chap 158

Chapter 158 : Exchange and Transfer

You XiaoMo turned his head and saw Tang Fan and Luo ChengYuan coming out from the Ten Thousand Python Demon Plain together.

The moment they came out, the onlookers immediately surrounded them, a few of them stretching their necks to look into the distance, wanting to know if the hole in the barrier had been stabilized. After all, things concerning the Paradise Realm was something everyone was concerned about.

The one to speak was Tang Fan and he motioned for everyone to quiet down.

As for Luo ChengYuan, his face was rather abnormally pale. It was not clear if it was because he ran into some trouble inside or if he was already injured to begin with. Luo ShuHe who was standing at the side quickly went over to help him to the side. Since everyone’s attention was concentrated on Tang Fan, very few people noticed their actions.

Tang Fan glanced surreptitiously at Luo ChengYuan’s back with a rather profound expression. Others did not know, but he saw it as clear as day but this was not the right time to lay his cards on the table.

“Everyone quiet down. The barrier has been stabilized but only ten people can be transported at one time. Now take out your life saving stone and follow me and Grand Master Luo into the Ten Thousand Python Demon Plain. Remember not to mess around or you will have to suffer the consequences of your own actions.”

When he said this, a few forces started to form groups of people, ten people to one life saving stone.

The so called life saving stone was a type of stone made from white crystal. This type of stone could form a protective radius of different sizes depending on the size of the stone. It could be used to repel the poisonous gas. It was not some rare thing but because it could only be used once, and because they were usually only the size of a fist, it was only effective for an hour. Due to that, it was definitely not cheap.

You XiaoMo didn’t have a life saving stone, but Ling Xiao had one.

Ling Xiao already asked around about it a long time ago but his life saving stone was given to him by Tang Fan. It was given much earlier on.

There were only eight people from Capital Peak. If they were to add You XiaoMo and Ling Xiao, it would be just even but Kong Wen didn’t call You XiaoMo over. Instead he called Fang ChenYue and the others and then took the life saving stone with him and followed behind Tang Fan’s group into the Ten Thousand Python Demon Plain.

You XiaoMo also didn’t expect Kong Wen to include him.

After they left, Ling Xiao bumped into his shoulder and beamed while saying, “Xiao Shidi, let’s go too.”

One of his hands was still holding onto the life saving stone.

The life saving stone in his hand was not small and it could last for about two hours. At that time, Tang Fan chose it specifically for him. If Tang Fan had known that it would turn out like this, he probably wouldn’t have given him such a big life saving stone.

That’s what one called Man proposes but God disposes!

Two people using such a big life-saving stone appeared very wasteful. Hence it attracted quite a lot of attention.

There were ten independent practitioners but the life saving stone they used was half the size of Ling Xiao’s. It was probably effective for not even an hour. Furthermore, because they didn’t put in any effort from beginning to end, they would probably be the very last batch to enter.

Coincidentally, they walked next to You XiaoMo and Ling Xiao. They looked at the two of them using one stone with endless jealousy and envy.

You XiaoMo assessed the surroundings and happened to see them. Seeing ten grown men crowding around one stone, with some of them looking at him resentfully, he suddenly felt embarrassed.

Ling Xiao saw this scene and the corner of his lips rose as he spoke to the independent practitioner holding the life saving stone, “I can exchange the life saving stone with you kind sir if you tell us about the situation inside the Paradise Realm. How about it?”

The moment he finished talking, that person immediately exchanged looks with the others, as if they were very surprised that he would say these words.

You XiaoMo was also very surprised, so much so that he raised his head and looked at Ling Xiao in surprise. The latter lowered his head and winked at him.

Although people that showed goodwill for no rhyme or reason may have ulterior motives, Ling Xiao explained it explicitly. If you want to come over, you have to provide information. This dispelled half of the suspicions in their hearts. Furthermore, Ling Xiao was someone from the TianXin Sect and he probably wouldn’t play tricks on them in front of that many people.

Thinking like this, that man seeked agreement from the others and then exchanged life saving stones with Ling Xiao. Holding the life saving stone, that independent practitioner could feel the vast energy within it and now they no longer had to worry that the energy from the life saving stone wouldn’t be enough.

Although a few of them were of Spiritual level, they didn’t have to worry that they would be poisoned once the energy ran out, it still may affect their strength, making it more dangerous when they entered the Paradise Realm. Therefore, they were willing to exchange some information for a piece of life saving stone.

After that, that independent practitioner started to list all the information he had. Some were the personal experiences of others while some was information obtained from asking around. Adding them up, Ling Xiao actually acquired quite a lot of useful information.

You XiaoMo didn’t expect that it would be like this. He felt like prostrating himself before Ling Xiao in admiration and looked at Ling Xiao with worship shining in his eyes.

Very quickly, they reached the place with the breach in the barrier.

It was situated in a dark ravine which was filled with a dense negative air that penetrated directly through the skin. Those of weaker cultivation couldn’t help but shiver. The figures of several Evil Heavenly Pythons that had yet to awaken their spiritual consciousness could be seen circling in the forest. Seeing them, some people felt their hearts stir. This was what was called a level nine demon beast. But no matter how tempted, no one went over to catch them.

The barrier was above the entrance to the ravine as small scale teleportation formation laid out using crystals. This teleportation formation was laid down by the combined efforts of Tang Fan and Luo ChengYuan and because there was insufficient time to lay down a teleportation formation for fifty people, they simply put down a simple small scale one.

There were regular patterns drawn inside the teleportation formation making up an area that could hold about ten people. Five fist sized energy stones were placed at regular intervals around the pattern.

Tang Fan stood in front of the teleportation formation, turned around and spoke to everyone in a serious tone, “Before starting the teleportation, there is something I want to make clear. The opening in the barrier of the Paradise Realm will only stay open for a maximum of one month. A month later, it will close by itself. If you don’t want to stay in there forever, you must get back to the teleportation point within one month’s time. Now we will start the teleportation.”

Even if Tang Fan didn’t say it, everyone already knew this. It was just a matter of formality, nothing more.

Since the ones that put in the effort were Tang Fan and Luo ChengYuan, the first ones to be transferred were the disciples from these two sects. The first batch was from the Tian Xin Sect and the Qing Cheng Sect, five each.

Everyone thought that Tang Fan would send Ling Xiao first but unexpectedly, he called over Xiao Long’s disciple, Lei Ju and two others along with Tang YunQi and another mage. Since mages didn’t have combat power, they must go together with practitioners.

A few shrewd people saw this scene and a look of surprise flashed across their eyes, as if they figured out something.

There was no surprise on the side of the Qing Cheng Sect with Luo ShuHe taking the lead. He also brought along two young mages. To be able to be in his group, they must be mages of some talent.

The people going first could choose to wait there or go off to hunt treasure. Those from the same sect would mostly choose to head out first because the ones that went in first could be the first to find wondrous treasure. It was a pretty good opportunity so usually the ones transferred first were those of formidable strength.

Lei Ju’s strength was acceptable but it was quite lacking when compared to Ling Xiao. A lot of people thought it would be Ling Xiao.

Tang YunQi also thought that way. After hearing that her dad actually didn’t call out Xiao-ge’s name, her pretty eyes popped open. Grinding her teeth, she still didn’t say anything in the end because she knew that her dad wouldn’t agree.

Lei Ju stood inside the teleportation formation looking arrogantly at Ling Xiao. His eyes were filled with provocation.

However, Ling Xiao was simply not looking at them. He tilted his head as if he was having a good chat with a few independent practitioners. He didn’t show the least bit dissatisfaction at not being in the first group, as if it didn’t matter when he got transferred.

Lei Ju reined in the fury that was about to erupt from his eyes. Clenching his fists tightly, he swore in his heart that there would be a day when he would embarrass ‘Lin Xiao’, letting him know that he was the one that was the most outstanding disciple of the Tian Xin Sect.

Tang Fan and Luo ChengYuan took turns activating the teleportation formation. Very quickly, Lei Ju, Luo ShuHe and the rest were sent over.

It was finally Ling Xiao’s turn with the second batch. Most probably because it was not good to be so obvious so Tang Fan called out Ling Xiao’s name. However, he didn’t call out You XiaoMo’s name.

Ling Xiao was not surprised. He just pulled You XiaoMo over with him.

“Shifu, let Xiao Shidi go together with me. After all, I was the one who brought him along. Kong-shishu also said that I will be responsible for his safety.” Ling Xiao stood in front of Tang Fan, smiling widely while speaking, as if he was not the least bit concerned that Tang Fan would disagree.

Tang Fan lowered his eyelids slightly and glanced at them with an unreadable look. He said lightly, “Since it is your Kong-shishu’s words, just go in.”

“Thank you, Shifu!” Ling Xiao appeared oblivious to his displeased expression. He nodded and answered him, then brought You XiaoMo along into the teleportation formation.

During the teleportation, You XiaoMo caught sight of Kong Wen’s dark expression. Being used as an excuse by Ling Xiao, this Shifu was probably even more displeased.

But if he didn’t say it like that, Tang Fan wouldn’t agree so readily. He might even flare up and simply forbid them to enter. It was not as if this kind of thing hadn’t happened before. He heard Yang-shixiong talk about it and it was said that it happened once a long time ago.

A burst of white light flashed and the people being transferred disappeared in an instant. The barrier above their heads shook one more time.
