Chapter 219 — Chapter 219 Exchange Hall

"So this is the Exchange Hall, huh?" Yuan stared at the entrance with a pondering gaze.

The Exchange Hall is where disciples go to spend their hard-earned contributions points, and unlike the Profound Pavilion that only has cultivation techniques, the Exchange Hall has everything else from treasures to cultivation resources.

"Hey! Why are you standing there and blocking the entrance? If you’re not going to enter, scram!"

A tall and bulky disciple suddenly walked up from behind and forcefully bumped into Yuan’s shoulder, snapping him out of his admiration for the building.

Yuan frowned at this. He was standing many meters away from the entrance and was nowhere near it, so how could he be blocking the entrance.

"What? Do you have a problem?" The bulky disciple that rudely bumped into Yuan stopped walking when he noticed the displeased look on Yuan’s handsome face, feeling even more irritated at Yuan because of his own lacking appearance.

This small commotion quickly attracted the disciples in that area.

"Look! Someone had offended Senior apprentice-disciple Tiger, the Mad Tiger!"

"What’s this about? Why would an Outer Court disciple offend him? Does he not know who he’s dealing with?"

"I don’t know, but only an idiot would dare to offend one of the top ten disciples in the Outer Court! And this is Mad Tiger we’re talking about! He’s infamous for beating anyone that bothers him even slightly!"

While the disciples there watched the commotion from a distance and laughed at Yuan’s misfortune, the bulky disciple who is known as ’Mad Tiger’ approached Yuan in an aggressive manner.

Disciple Tiger stopped once he stood directly before Yuan and stared at Yuan in the eyes, and he said in an overbearing voice, "Since you don’t seem to recognize me, I’ll assume that you’re a new disciple and give you some slack. I am Wu Laohu, ranked 3rd in the Outer Court ranking! Now that you know my identity, you can either kiss the ground with your forehead and apologize for blocking my way or eat one of my fists— you decide."

However, Yuan stood his ground despite the menacing aura coming from Disciple Tiger’s large body that resembled a boulder, and he said in a calm voice, "I will choose neither. You were the one who bumped into me. If somebody has to apologize, it should be you."

"Heavens! He actually dared to defy Mad Tiger even after he had introduced himself! This Outer Court disciple is simply courting death!"

"Looks like another victim will fall to the Mad Tiger today..."

Wu Laohu’s body trembled after hearing Yuan’s words that defied him, and veins began appearing all over his body.

"Since you cannot pick— I shall pick one for you!" Wu Laohu suddenly raised his fists with an explosive aura.

However, just as Wu Laohu prepared to release his punch, a figure appeared behind him and gently tapped his shoulders, drifting Wu Laohu’s attention to behind him.

"E-Elder Zhou!"

Wu Laohu’s aggressive aura immediately disappeared when he saw the face of the person standing behind him, and his large figure suddenly appeared much smaller than just a moment ago.

"Just because you are ranked 3rd in the Outer Court ranking does not mean you can act however you please in this sect. This is also not the sparring stage but the Exchange Hall. If you continue causing a ruckus out here, I’ll gladly be your opponent." Elder Zhou said to him.

"I-It was this disciple’s mistake. It won’t happen again, Elder Zhou!" Wu Laohu bowed to Elder Zhou in a respectful manner, yet his eyes remained on Yuan’s figure.

’This is all that little bastard’s fault! If he didn’t oppose me, I wouldn’t have been scolded by Elder Zhou in front of so many people! How fucking unlucky of me!’ Wu Laohu cried inwardly, pushing all of the blame to Yuan.

"If you’re here to purchase something, do your business and leave."

"Yes, Elder Zhou!" Wu Laohu did not dare to linger around and immediately went inside the Exchange Hall.

The other disciples there followed and immediately returned to their own business.

Elder Zhou then turned to look at Yuan, who was just calmly standing there.

’So this is Disciple Yuan, huh. I didn’t get to see him last time at the Carp Leaping Over Dragon’s Gate Tower because of the guests, but he’s somewhat different from what I’d expected. He appears... more humble than I’d imagined...’ Elder Zhou thought to himself.

"You too. If you have business at the Exchange Hall, do it and leave. This is not a place for you to loiter around," Elder Zhou said to Yuan a moment later.

Although he’d like to speak with Yuan more, he knew about Yuan’s special existence, so he couldn’t just start chatting with him as though they were friends, as that would immediately raise suspicions from the other disciples.

"Thank you, Elder, for stopping that disciple." Yuan bowed to him before entering the Exchange Hall.

’What a humble kid. But if I hadn’t stopped that disciple just now, you would’ve sent him flying...’ Elder Zhou sighed inwardly as he watched Yuan’s figure disappearing into the building.

Once he’d entered the Exchange Hall, Yuan went directly to the reception desk and asked the disciple behind the counter, "Hello, what do you sell here?"

The disciple looked at Yuan as though he was looking at someone crazy, and he spoke a moment later, "This is the Exchange Hall. Whether it be cultivation resources or treasures, you can have anything you want as long as you have enough contribution points."

"Anything I want?" Yuan raised his eyebrows.

However, he’d only come here to see what they had, even expecting some sort of display area like regular stores, so if he was asked what he wanted, he most likely wouldn’t have an answer immediately.

’What do I need?’ Yuan began pondering.

"If you don’t know what you want yet, you can think about it elsewhere— just don’t stand here." The disciple warned Yuan.

"Oh, okay." Yuan nodded and proceeded to stand in the corner of the large room, pondering if there was anything he needed from this place.
