Chapter 36 - Passing the Trial (Advertisement for the Chief of the Golden Alliance)

The plaza in front of the Banyan Mountain's encampment was already filled with parents waiting for their children. Yang Junshan walked out from the light screen at the entrance of the great mountain guarding formation, and a slight commotion instantly appeared among the oveundred parents in the plaza. Over a hundred pairs of eyes were staring fixedly at him, and there was no lack of gazes from Martial Realm Cultivator, who were like Yang Tiangang, among them.

When Yang Junshan received the news that he was the middle grade cow-yellow immortal spirit, it was already known to everyone inside and outside the great formation. As the genius cultivator that was only second to the inner sect of Heaven-Shaken Sect, Zhang Yueming obtained the high-grade immortal purple cloud skin treasure, many parents naturally wanted to see what kind of person it was.

The three cultivators guarding the mountain who were closest to the exit were the Heaven-Shaken Sect. However, the first thing Yang Junshan paid attention to were not the three martial arts realm experts, but the two young cultivators standing behind them.

One of the young cultivators among the two was Xu Jing. Seems like the combination of the Celestial Energy Cauldron at her cochlear and the middle grade Celestial Ginseng Seed had already caught the attention of the Heaven-Shaken Sect's Mountain Guarding Cultivators. This kind of young cultivator who had a high possibility of producing a special innate technique in the future, once he successfully activated his special technique, would immediately become an inner disciple of the Heaven-Shaken Sect.

At this time, Xu Jing did not know that the matter of him framing and abandoning his good friend Hao Zhuang in the same village was already known to Yang Junshan. And from her originally haughty and complacent face, Yang Junshan did not see any hint of guilt in her expression because of Hao Zhuang's death.

As for the other youngster who appeared much calmer than Xu Jing's complacency, she was basically the one who was already an inner disciple of the Heaven-Shaken Sect, Zhang Yueming. The moment she saw Yang Junshan, a ripple instantly flashed across his originally calm expression.

Yang Junshan smiled and indicated towards the two of them. Perhaps it was because Yang Junshan had consecutively sent more than ten cultivators of the same age out of the dense fog, but the originally arrogant Xu Jing actually revealed her little face to Yang Junshan; while Zhang Yueming was also smiling at Yang Junshan at the same time. The two of them had clashed once in the Banyan Mountain, and only the two of them knew the meaning behind this.

The Xiong Man Shan standing on the far left had an ugly expression on his face. The moment Yang Junshan came out, he simply snorted coldly and stared at Yang Junshan with his pair of eyes shining with a dangerous light.

If it was any other young cultivator, they might have been scared stiff by Xiong Man Shan's fierce gaze, but Yang Junshan completely turned a blind eye to it. He took a step forward and only bowed slightly towards the old cultivator Chen Ji in the middle, thanking him for stopping Xiong Man Shan from making things too difficult for him.

At that time, the Xiong Man Shan could have sealed off the voice of Yang Junshan after the chant and made it difficult for him to speak. As long as he did not go overboard, the other two Mountain Guarding Cultivators would not have interfered. But now, they could not.

Originally, the reason why Xiong Man Shan was in so much trouble was only because he was angry at Yang Junshan's uncle for fighting for the position of a Heaven-Shaken Sect's inner disciple. Yang Junshan's original plan was to eliminate his uncle's desire to become a Heaven-Shaken Sect's inner disciple at all costs, after all, no one would have thought that the Heaven-Shaken Sect, who was the tyrant of the Yuxian for who knew how many years, would suddenly and easily collapse.

But the moment he stepped out of the Banyan Mountain's grounds, Yang Junshan changed his mind. Since Xiong Man Shan was making things difficult for him, then he must help his big uncle become an inner disciple of Heaven-Shaken Sect.

When he found out that Yang Junshan had the Yellow Ox Celestial Spirit, he already knew that Yang Junshan was the one who set the trap in the small forest by the stream. How could a young man who was only twelve years old possess such shrewd hunting methods?

Only Chen Ji, who was standing in the middle, looked at Yang Junshan witrobing gaze, and when Yang Junshan bowed in thanks, the high order cultivator suddenly opened his mouth: Your body is doing very well, what kind of body tempering technique do you usually use?

Yang Junshan was secretly shocked in his heart, but on the surface, he respectfully asked: "Is the Fist of the Reckless Bull that junior uses?"

"Reckless Bull Fist?" A look of surprise flashed across Chen Ji's face, then nodded his head and said: "Being able to use a low rank body tempering technique to such an extent is not easy, it'ity that you are not a disciple of my Heaven-Shaken Sect, if not this old man could have passed on a mid-tier body tempering technique to you."

Chen Ji muttered to himself for a moment, as if he was fond of Yang Junshan's talent, and said: "That's fine, but it seems that you are quite talented in the field of body tempering. Although this old man cannot pass down a middle tier body tempering technique to you due to my sect, in the future, if you have any questions, you can come to Banyan Mountain and ask this old man!"

Chen Ji's words made Zhang Feng, who was at the side, look at him in shock, while the lips of the Xiong Man Shan on the other side moved as if he wanted to stop him, but in the end, he did not say anything, and only looked at Yang Junshan with an unfriendly gaze.

As a cultivator witigh level of martial arts realm, Chen Ji was ranked in the top five in the entire Mengyu County. There were many people who could not even meet him if they wanted to, let alone get his guidance.

There were even rumors that he was only one step away from condensing his True Divine Spirit Qi to becomealms of life. Even if he was too old to become a Successor Disciple of the Heaven-Shaken Sect, at least one of his elders could not escape, and at that time, he would have the qualifications to be a Prefecture Master.

As long as he didn't become a cultivator of the Heaven-Shaken Sect, Yang Junshan would naturally not miss such a good opportunity. Hence, he hurriedly paid his respects and thanked the inner disciple of the Heaven-Shaken Sect again.

That Chen Ji nodded his head in gratification, then pointed to the little tiger cub that was sticking out of Yang Junshan's backpack and said: "Don't raise this beast anymore, otherwise, it will really become a nuisance to raise tigers!"

Yang Junshan hurriedly nodded his head. If the little tiger was still a fierce beast, he would naturally not dare to raise it, but now that the little tiger had been cleansed by the demonic energy, its intelligence had started to develop. It would definitely become a demon cultivator in the future, so there wouldn't be any hidden dangers.

He quickly left the place in front of the three Heaven-Shaken Sect cultivators. Only when the three of them turned their attention back to the mountain protection array mist did Yang Junshan let out a long sigh of relief, feeling that the clothes on his back had already become wet, even though he knew the secret technique to hide his cultivation using demonic qi, being examined by the three Martial Realm Cultivator s from head to toe did Yang Junshan feel the immense pressure.

After returning to the plaza, the villagers of Tuqiu Village quickly came forward to congratulate Yang Junshan on his success with the yellow immortal spirit. Yang Junshan returned the greetings one by one, only then did they see Su Baozhang standing beside Yang Tiangang, looking at him from afar with a face full of joy.

Very rarely, Yang Tiangang did not smoke. Instead, he tapped the tip of the cigarette against his palm, it was clear that he was not feeling calm at the moment.

Without waiting for Yang Tiangang to ask him about his experiences in the Banyan Mountain, Yang Junshan asked first: "Father, I am tired, shall we return to the village?"

Yang Tiangang glanced at his son, nodded his head, and said: "Let's go, let's go with the badge!"

Just as the three of them were about to leave, someone suddenly called out to Yang Junshan from behind. When he turned to look, Yang Junshan's expression changed subtly, the person who came was none other than Hao Zhuang's father, Hao Sang Wang.

"Yang Cunzheng!"

Hao Sang Wang looked at Yang Tiangang with fear in his eyes, but then asked Yang Junshan urgently: "Eldest nephew, have you seen my Hao Villa yet? How is he, have you found a Celestial Spirit yet?"

Looking at Hao Sanwan's hopeful expression, Yang Junshan didn't know how to answer for a moment. He forced a smile: "Uncle Sanwan, I've never seen Hao Zhuang in Banyan Mountain before. At that time, I was with Brother Bao Zhang, you can ask Xu Jing, I don't know if she has seen Hao Zhuang yet!"

"I didn't see it!"

Disappointment surfaced on Hao Sanwan's face, but it was quickly replaced by a confident smile and he said: "My Hao Village is doing well too, we will definitely be able to bring the immortal spirit out of Banyan Mountain safely!"

"Then we'll be leaving first!"

Yang Junshan forced out a smile, then bid his farewell and turned to leave quickly.

Seeing that, Yang Tiangang and Su Baozhang immediately followed along, waiting for the three of them to ride the packhorse beasts and travel a few kilometers away from Banyan Mountain in one go. When the three of them arrived at a quiet place to rest, Yang Junshan said: "Hao Zhuang died, it was caused by Xu Jing's death!"

"Huh?" Su Baozhang gasped in shock.

Although Yang Tiangang was not as shocked as he was, the cigarette mouth that was about to be stuck in his mouth paused for a moment, and then he asked: "What exactly happened, why did you not say it at the time?"

Yang Junshan told the two of them everything that he had seen and Su Baozhang was so shocked that he had his jaw dropped. Yang Tiangang sighed and said: "I never thought that this girl would actually have sucuthless heart, you did not do anything wrong, and at this time, I can't say that you didn't see Xu Jing frame Hao Zhuang after deducing from the footprints on Hao Zhuang's shoulder, but Xu Jing this girl is obviously favored by the Heaven-Shaken Sect. If you tell the truth, not only is there nothing you can do about this girl, you might even harm Hao Sanwan's family."

Su Baozhang opened his mouth, but did not know what to say. After a moment, Yang Junshan said: "What do we do next, Hao Zhuang has left a low rank immortal elm heart, do you want to secretly give it back to Hao Sanwan?"

"Yumu Xin?" Yang Tiangang asked doubtfully, "Didn't you only obtain two Celestial Spirits, one mid-grade Demon Ox and one low-grade Food Stone?"

Yang Junshan laughed proudly, and said: "Father, I was just about to tell you, your son intends to give the middle grade cow-yellow immortal spirit to Brother Bao Zhang!"

With that, without waiting for Su Baozhang to say anything, who seemed to think that he had misheard something, he patted the little tiger's head and said: "Enough, spit it out. Don't tell me that you really swallowed those three immortal spirits!"
