Chapter 156.
This year’s Sunset Peak Dharma Discourse became Zhao Huai’an’s solo show right from the start.
This young cultivator from the outer regions, who had entered the inner sect of the Yunyang Sect by relying on the Great Human Hunting Case, displayed incomparably bright light on the Dharma Discussion Stage.
Not only did he defeat Lu Hong, the chief disciple, with a devastating momentum to win the top ten position of Sunset Peak, but he also continuously knocked three unconvinced challengers out of the Dharma Discussion Stage.
All of them resolved the battle within one move!
Then there was no one else who came up to the stage to humiliate themselves, allowing Zhao Huai’an to sit firmly at the head of the Sunset Peak disciples.
Because his momentum was too strong and his win was too beautiful.
This caused the next disciple’s argument to become tasteless, and although everyone cast various spells and fought lively, compared to Zhao Huai’an’s amazing performance, it was at a poorer level.
At the end of the day, Wang Duan was tempted to grab two more handfuls of melon seeds.
Seriously, if he were to go on the field, not to mention one-on-one, even if there were a few more, he would be able to win the battle.
No wonder Sunset Peak was regarded as a springboard to the bottom.
A true elite disciple wouldn’t stay here to put up a fight!
Fortunately, the Pang Zitong he had just met was quite interesting, keeping Wang Chen from being too bored while watching the show.
Pang Zitong came from the Purple Mansion Pang Family.
Because he was born of a concubine, and because his root talent wasn’t very high, he had been hanging out in Sunset Peak.
However, Pang Zitong was quite happy hanging around.
He didn’t have much ambition in terms of Dao cultivation, and even lacked interest in breaking through the orifices and opening up.
Normally, he liked to study organ puppets.
For example, organ beasts, puppet figures, and so on.
Mechanical puppet is also one of the hundred arts of Immortal Cultivation, Pang Zitong’s greatest wish is to become a great puppeteer!
In fact, the Zifu Pang family was unique in the field of machine puppets.
He could be considered a family scholar.
Wang Chen instantly became interested, “Senior Brother Pang, are there any organ puppets that can plow spirit fields?”
Pang Zitong replied without thinking, “Of course there is!”
But it was very uneconomical to use an organ puppet to plow a spirit field.
First of all, the cost of construction was very high.
A humanoid organ puppet capable of hoeing, fertilizing, watering, and removing insects from a spiritual field would need to use materials such as hundred year old ironwood, Xuan Copper, refined silver, beast tendons, and other materials that were worth a lot of money.
The next thing was that daily use required the consumption of spirit stones, and just like magic weapons, regular use required regular maintenance.
It is because the cost is too high.
So except for a very few maverick spirit plant masters, basically no one would use organ puppets to do farm work.
Doesn’t it smell good to spend so many spirit stones and hire a few innate masters as servants?
After Pang Zitong finished his explanation, he asked curiously, “Senior brother Wang, are you a Spirit Plant Master?”
“Yes.”
Wang Dust replied frankly, “I have an estate under Sunset Peak.”
Many inner disciples who came from worldly families viewed Spirit Planting Husband as a mud legger and didn’t care to deal with agricultural cultivators at all.
Wang Dust had also been reestablishing his immortal status at Sunset Peak for some time, and had never been solicited at his door.
It was because of his identity.
But Wang Dust didn’t feel at all that a spiritual planting husband was inferior.
Planting and farming was honorable!
“Awesome!”
Pang Zitong gave Wang Dust a thumbs up and said, “Senior Brother Wang, if you want an organ puppet, I can customize one for you.”
His suggestion was interesting, which was to cut down the cost of manufacturing as much as possible while ensuring the basic functions.
It was equivalent to building a low-profile monkey version of a spirit plant puppet for Wang Chen.
This kind of reduced-wiring organ puppet couldn’t support long-term labor.
However, it could help Wang Chuan care for and tend to the spirit fields during his seclusion or outgoing missions.
It wouldn’t cause the harvest to be affected due to unforeseen circumstances.
Since it was only used as an emergency, the cost of use and maintenance was bound to be greatly reduced, and it was still quite cost-effective.
Upon hearing this, Wang Chen couldn’t help but become much more interested, “Senior Brother Pang, then how many spirit stones would such an organ puppet require?”
This senior brother’s suggestion was really too fitting for his needs!
Pang Zitong asked, “How many acres of spirit fields do you have?”
After inquiring clearly, he did some serious math and finally gritted his teeth and said, “Senior brother Wang, I won’t eat your spirit peaches for nothing, for one thousand lower spirits, I’ll help you make the best one out of it!”
Of course, he meant the best within the cost.
And although Wang Chen didn’t know much about organ puppets, he also knew that this thing was more expensive than many magic weapons.
What Pang Zitong gave should be a super conscience price!
Pang Zitong added, “Senior brother Wang, if you can’t get so many spirit stones for a while that’s fine, it’s okay to pay in installments with yellow sorghum rice or black and black sesame rice.”
“There’s no need for you to pay more interest, just add some spirit fruits as additions.”
He laughed at himself, “I have a wide and long food intestines, I like to eat, and I eat more than others.”
With the words having been said, what else could Wang Dust have against it, and immediately nodded his head, “Then thank you, Senior Brother!”
His manor could produce ten thousand pounds of spirit rice a season, and if he kept it as rations, together with Yuan Yuan, he would not be able to eat it all.
Taking out some of it in exchange for a spirit plant puppet was undoubtedly very cost-effective!
“Hehehe.”
Pang Zitong rubbed his belly and said with a smile, “No need to be polite, we’ll take what we need.”
He helped Wang Chen make spirit plant puppets, and even if he only took the cost price, there were still ways to make a profit.
For example, many of the materials could be used with their own quota and branched out in the clan.
Most importantly, skill was honed, without the experience of making hundreds or thousands of organ puppets, how could one achieve the position of master?
The two sides discussed the matter and both parties were happy!
And today’s Sunset Peak Dharma Discussion also came to an end.
The Purple Mansion Elder who presided over the Dharma Discussion saw that there were no more disciples on the stage, so he announced that the meeting would be adjourned, allowing everyone to come back tomorrow.
Under normal circumstances, the Peak Vein Discourse lasted for three days, and through a competition, the top ten disciples were finally determined to represent Sunset Peak to participate in the Nine Peaks Discourse.
However, everyone felt that this year’s Dharma Discourse was feared to end soon.
An obvious fact was that the true disciples of the Sunset Peak lineage were all crushed to death by Zhao Huai’an.
His sudden emergence had reduced a bunch of lineage children to green leafy accompaniment!
Sure enough, the next morning, Wang Chen once again came to the dojo, and before he had time to knock on a few melon seeds, the Dharma Discourse started in a hurry.
Then it ended hastily.
As the biggest winner, Zhao Huai’an not only captured the top ten disciples.
Moreover, he also pocketed the position of chief true disciple that originally belonged to Lu Hong.
The popularity of the situation was unrivaled for a while!
It made countless Sunset Peak disciples hate their teeth, but there was nothing they could do about it.
To be honest, Wang Chen couldn’t even see through the other party now.
In just a few short months, Zhao Huai’an’s cultivation realm had not only skyrocketed, reaching the ninth level of Qi Practicing.
Moreover, his fighting ability also crushed his peers.
Pang Zitong quietly said to Wang Duan, “A character like this will either soar to the heavens or fall from a shooting star!”
Wang Dust thought deeply.
But whether Zhao Huai’an flew into the sky or fell to the ground, it rained him no melons!
