Chapter 304: Fame Across the World
The thing that Di Nufeng found even more unacceptable was an article in the next section of the magazine, titled "Uncommon Tales of the Martial World."
The article mentioned that two Eminent Ones plundered the Golden Vein Berries on Mount Shu during the Mount Shu Summit.
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?" Reaad the latest stories on novelbin(.)com
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..."
