Flying Clouds in Another World

Chapter 31: Zhang Suo, a storm

"Liu Feiyun looked at his sister Liu Qianqian with great pain as she took out a large bag of crystals and handed it to the gatekeeper of the Miyun Sect. The man took it and opened it, and immediately smiled. After weighing it, he took notes while holding a pen. At the same time, he handed two weight-free iron plates to himself and Liu Shihu. Then he let Liu Feiyun and the other person enter the trial road.

"Fifteen taels of yellow crystal is equivalent to one hundred and fifty taels of red crystal, which is equivalent to one thousand five hundred taels of gold and fifteen thousand taels of silver. Although the economic level of this world is much higher than that of the ancient times in the previous life, even compared with the Song Dynasty, which was known as the rich Song Dynasty, it is far higher. But in this world, one hundred taels of silver is enough for a family of five to live a rich life for a year without worrying about food, clothing, or meat. Fortunately, the tiger-eater and I are still young, only twelve years old, and our bodies have not yet grown up, otherwise even two thousand taels of gold would not be enough! It would be great if half of this money could be kept for me. My sister is really a spendthrift."

Liu Feiyun felt heartbroken, not to mention Liu Shihu. While walking quickly, he muttered: "Oh! Oh! This is a thousand taels of gold! Why should I give it to them? It would be better to give it to me. If you give it to me, I can even carry the young master and run away. A thousand taels of gold. I'm afraid I can't earn this much money in my lifetime. Ah! No! It's ten lifetimes."

In addition to those with excellent talents, many of the trialists who can enter the top 1,000 are children of wealthy families like Liu Feiyun, but there are not many people who can spend hundreds or thousands of taels of gold for the next child. At this time, there are only dozens of people like Liu Feiyun who are walking empty-handed. More people, according to their own financial resources, either bought a small cart to push the stones, or bought some stones to reduce some of the weight. But there are still nearly 30% of people who are really carrying stones of the same weight as themselves. And the dozen people running in the front, all carry enough stones. The running speed is amazing.

Feiyun looked at the people in front of him, feeling both envious and jealous. These were the real great people. If they were in the fantasy online novels of the past life, they would definitely be geniuses. They might even be the protagonists. But looking at himself, he was also a time traveler. Why was he so lame? How sad! So helpless!

"Young Master, how about I carry you and run. Okay, save your energy for later!" Liu Shihu said in a flattering manner when he saw that Liu Feiyun's face was not looking good.

Liu Feiyun's face darkened. He said angrily, "I'm not so sick that I can't walk and need you to carry me! You'd better save your energy. You might run into trouble later!"

"Tsk! If you don't want to recite it, then don't. Why are you making such a grumpy face? It would be better if you don't let me recite it, I'll be happy and relaxed." Liu Shihu made himself look awkward.

Maybe it was Liu Feiyun's bad luck that brought him good luck. At the end of the first level, he saw Xu Weijie, surrounded by seven people, preparing to start the second level, the Hundred-foot Rope.

The so-called 100-foot rope is an iron chain that is only a hundred feet long and thick, placed between two mountains. The iron chain is not stretched straight, and it sways left and right under the mountain wind. The trialists need to climb over the iron chain. For these trialists, it is not difficult to pass the iron chain, but another requirement of this level is the key: there is only one iron chain. Once the latter catches up with the former and neither of them gives in, the two sides can attack each other until one of them falls off the iron chain, and the one who falls must return to the starting point and start again. The iron chain is in an arc shape following the mountain terrain, and the highest point is only a few feet from the ground. For these trialists, even if they fall, there will be no danger to their lives, but it will delay their time and affect their ranking in passing the trial.

Xu Weijie was extremely happy at this moment. In order to allow him to pass the sect entrance test smoothly, his family scraped together five thousand taels of gold to let his elder brother Xu Weiying take care of things in the Miyun Sect. Unexpectedly, his elder brother only spent less than one thousand taels, saving several thousand taels compared to the original plan, and also found seven trialists to help him. At the entrance of the first level, the Thousand Gold Stone, although he spent another two thousand taels of gold to buy weighted stones and a small cart, he still had crystal stones worth two thousand gold on him. These crystal stones were really a windfall for him.

He went through the first level empty-handed, so his current ranking was over 200, which gave him confidence. But just as he was on the iron chain, he looked back inadvertently and saw Liu Feiyun and the other two chasing him quickly.

Xu Weijie immediately thought of what his elder brother Xu Weiying had told him that morning: If he met the child from the Anping Liu family during the trial, he must do everything he could to stop him from becoming an inner disciple. In addition to helping him pass the trial, the seven trial takers he had found had another mission just for this purpose.

Xu Weijie was angry at first, then he smiled coldly and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, those two kids at the back are from the Liu family. Who is willing to stay and block them? Whoever stays, I will reward him with ten taels of yellow crystal." After that, he took out a few yellow crystals from his arms.

Ten taels of yellow crystal is equivalent to a hundred taels of gold and a thousand taels of silver. It is also very attractive to people with extraordinary talents but poor families. Sure enough, as soon as Xu Weijie finished speaking, one of the seven people around him expressed his willingness to stay. Xu Weijie threw the crystal stone, and the man happily took it and said with a smile: "Mr. Xu, everyone. You go first, I will be there soon."

Xu Weijie added: "It's better to let them delay for a while."

The man nodded in understanding and said, "Don't worry, sir. I will wait for them at the end of the iron rope and make sure they can climb one more section of the iron rope."

The man quickly climbed to the end of the iron rope, then stopped and waited for Liu Feiyun to arrive. As for the others, he did not stop them and let them pass. Soon, Liu Shihu came up from behind, with Liu Feiyun in front and Liu Shihu behind.

"Boy! Are you the ones who offended Master Xu? You are young, but you have a big temper! Get me out of here!" The man looked at Liu Shihu who was several feet away and sneered.

"Mr. Xu? What bullshit Mr. Xu! I don't know him! What, you want to stop me! It's not that easy!" Liu Shihu never suffered a loss.

"Really? Then give it a try."

Liu Shihu didn't care about the man who blocked his way at all and stepped forward quickly. The two men exchanged palm strikes, and the man who blocked his way felt a shock all over his body, and a strong force hit him. His legs that were wrapped around the iron chain were shaken loose, and his other hand that was tightly holding the iron chain was also shaken away. His body immediately lost balance and fell from the iron chain. As he fell, he thought to himself: "How can this kid have such a strong palm power! Even cultivators who specialize in palm techniques can only be like this! Are they really just casual cultivators from the countryside? Elder Xu lied to us!"
