Chapter 304: Fame Across the World

To investigate, Zhang Xiaohan, a disciple from the Wind-Catching Hall, went to Silver Sword Peak for a special interview, exploring the mysteries of Mount Shu's Golden Vein Berries.

She wouldn't have known if she hadn't tried to look into this, but what she discovered surprised her greatly.

This seemingly ordinary fruit had the miraculous effects of enhancing male virility and beautifying females.

The reason for its miraculous properties lay in its origin...

Zhang Xiaohan began the story from "Borrowing an Umbrella on the Lake" to "Stealing Fruit From the Mountain of Immortals." Due to space constraints, this exciting "Legend of the Berries" wasn't fully recounted, with the rest promised for the next issue of The Seven Stars Gazette.

Upon reading this, Di Nufeng's chest rose and fell rapidly, her eyes burning with rage. Her inner energy roared, and her qi surged as she released a furious scream.

The subjects of the article were both on Silver Sword Peak.

It might have been acceptable if her disciple Chu Liang had received a thousand-word feature, but even the berries were given a special interview... in a two-part series.

And she was only briefly mentioned as "Di Nufeng and the others."

She was so furious that she felt an overwhelming urge to storm over to the Celestial Pivot Pavilion, confront that old rogue, and settle this once and for all.

Just as she was about to leave, Chu Liang walked in leisurely and asked, "Esteemed Teacher, hmm? Are you going out?"

"Yes," Di Nufeng said angrily.

"Teacher, what are you in such a hurry to do?" Chu Liang asked.

"To beat up an old man," Di Nufeng replied curtly.

Chu Liang's eyebrows twitched, and he quickly interjected, "I have something to report. Please, calm down for a moment."

"Speak quickly, or he might get away," Di Nufeng snapped.

Chu Liang continued, "I've made some significant achievements, and the sect leader has rewarded me with the same privileges as the head disciple. I'll be receiving a monthly stipend of five thousand sword coins."

Upon hearing this, Di Nufeng's attention shifted instantly. She said, "As expected of my disciple! But why are you telling me this specifically? Are you planning to give me a share?"

"Share?" Chu Liang laughed. "Share what? I'm planning to give you all the five thousand sword coins every month as a token of gratitude for the effort you've invested in me over the years."

"Huh?" Di Nufeng's eyes widened in disbelief. "People always told me that raising a disciple would help provide for old age, but I never believed it. So it's true?"

"It's what I should do as your disciple," Chu Liang said. He paused before adding, "But there's another matter I need your help with."

"Just say it!" Di Nufeng's face lit up at the mention of money, and she cheerfully said, "From now on, let's treat each other as buddies. Don't hesitate to ask if you need anything."

"Since the Mount Shu Summit and the promotion done by The Seven Stars Gazette, our Golden Vein Berries from Silver Sword Peak have become famous. There's bound to be a surge of curious visitors," Chu Liang explained slowly. "I plan to expand the garden and create a picking area where visitors can pick the berries themselves and then buy them at the original price.

"I've arranged for Xiaoyu'er to manage the fruit garden and the Golden-Furred Hou for security," Chu Liang finally got to the point. "But both of them are not very smart, so I would like you to oversee things and protect our property at Silver Sword Peak if anything happens."

This idea had only occurred to him today.

After reading The Seven Stars Gazette, many Mount Shu disciples came to buy berries, and some wanted to visit the fruit garden to see if it really was as half-destroyed by diabolical cultivators.

With an increasing number of berries being sold, Xiaoyu'er alone couldn't keep up with the picking. As publicity from The Seven Stars Gazette

spread, more visitors were expected due to the growing fame.

Chu Liang thought it would be better to just set up a picking area and let people pick the berries themselves.

This way, he could save on labor costs and let visitors enjoy the experience. He could even add some activities, such as paying fifty sword coins to skip the queue, eighty sword coins for a lucky koi blessing, or a hundred sword coins to ride the Hou for half an hour while picking berries.

But he couldn't be there all the time, and security was a concern. Although the theft of berries that had occurred this time did not cause a major loss, it served as a wake-up call.

One must always guard against theft in the martial world.

The only person he could rely on at Silver Sword Peak was his teacher.

Although in terms of intelligence, adding another dumbo to the dumb and dumber combination wouldn’t make much sense. However, in terms of combat power, having his teacher as the watchdog would be much more reassuring than relying on the Hou.

Spending five thousand sword coins to hire a seventh-realm Eminent One for security was definitely a profitable deal.

Certainly, there was also the risk of his teacher causing trouble, so it was preferable for Di Nufeng to be present only during critical incidents.

This way, he would not have to worry about the security of the Silver Sword Peak.

Di Nufeng's gaze showed a rare look of comfort, as though she had finally met someone who understood her deeply.

"So you came to me for help because of my wisdom?" she asked.

Chu Liang nodded emphatically as he said, "Of course!"

...

On a lonely island in the vast sea, a girl in fiery red clothes stood alone, gazing into the distance. At that moment, a bird arrived, delivering a jade booklet. She raised her hand to catch it, opened it, and read for a moment. Her eyes suddenly shifted as if in surprise.[1]

"Chu Liang?" she murmured.

This girl was Xu Hongqiu, the Young Lady of the Four Seas Whale Gang.

After the disappearance of Xu Bashan, the Chief of the Whale Gang, the internal situation of the gang changed drastically. The day of the election was approaching. If Xu Bashan still did not make it back, the position of Chief would undoubtedly go to Jiang Shenting from the Eastern Whale Division. Many were already backing Jiang Shenting, while a few held out hope for Xu Bashan's return.

Xu Hongqiu had been tirelessly wandering the West Sea in search of her father. She never lost hope.

Seeing that familiar name in The Seven Stars Gazette, she recalled their brief encounter in Taotie City. That impressive young man, who had left such a lasting impression, had indeed become famous across the world.

No matter what, being able to kill Taowu was truly astonishing. The Heaven-Devouring Python, which had swallowed her father and caused his disappearance, was equally vicious and formidable as Taowu!

...

In Solaris City located in the Eastern Regions, the noise outside had become lively. Xue Lingxue, dressed in an ice-blue dress with her hair still loose, curled up lazily in a chair, looking a bit tired.

She had just finished a tour performance the previous day and traveled through the night to this place to support her junior sister, Shen Qingyan.

Each tour performance for a South Melody Conservatory disciple was as exhausting as a battle that drained their true essence. Afterward, they would be left utterly fatigued in both body and spirit.

Technically, she and Shen Qingyan were competitors, but they were also good friends. They supported each other in their performances, showing their fans they were on good terms.

While waiting, she picked up The Seven Stars Gazette beside her. As she read, she suddenly noticed a name.

"Chu Liang..."

Back then, he had amazed the audience with a brilliant performance just before she started her tour, leaving a lasting impression on her. She was sure he would achieve fame one day. Could that day have finally arrived?

...

...

In the depths of the magma-filled underground, the intense heat charred everything around, turning the surroundings into a blazing inferno.

Suddenly, with a splash, a sturdy figure leapt out of the magma. He moved through the boiling liquid as if he were bathing, and as the magma rolled off him, he shook his hand and put on his clothes.

This man had high brows and bright eyes, with a face that seemed carved from stone. Though he appeared young, there was a maturity about him. His cold expression was intensified by the fierce and intense gleam in his eyes.

He picked up The Seven Stars Gazette beside him, glanced at it briefly, and then casually tossed it into the magma.

"The Dark King Sect has taken a significant hit. It's time for Inferno Devil Valley to rise up."

"Chu Liang..."

1. This is quite convenient. Regardless of where you are, you will get to read the Seven Stars Gazette that you paid for! What a good ad lolz ☜
