Chapter 22: The Crisis in the North District
Finally becoming an official member of the academy, Duan Yun breathed a sigh of relief, although he had experienced many twists and turns in the middle, the problem of his own pill should be solved.
Although the Lingyun Chamber of Commerce could barely take out some of the pill materials required by the Quadruple Diamond Body, the gap behind it was too large, and it would inevitably affect his own entry.
On the other hand, although he had the theoretical knowledge of the Medicine King Divine Codex, it was not realistic to really want to successfully refine the pill without a large number of materials to practice. This is also the reason why he insisted on coming to Shengtian Academy in the first place.
According to the room number on the waist card, Duan Yun didn't take much time to come to his residence.
It is a lodging area built on the mountainside, which is said to be a lodging area, but in fact, it is a cave of different shapes that has been excavated from the mountain, and it has a honeycomb feeling when viewed from a distance. However, this honeycomb is divided into four large pieces by the mountain path, and Duan Yun's residence is in the northern district.
As in other districts, the entire North District shares a flat land in front of the cave, which is enclosed by the academy to form a large courtyard for the students to entertain and communicate.
The students of the Alchemy Branch need to pay a part of the pills to the academy every month, and they can receive the corresponding materials according to the pills paid, and if the success rate is high, the more refined pills can be used by themselves.
Of course, everyone's talent is different, so they are also students, some are rich, and some have to worry about the pills every month.
Entering the compound, Duan Yun found that the atmosphere was a little wrong. The entire north courtyard seemed to be shrouded in gloomy clouds, and there was a dead silence. The students sat around the ground and sighed.
"Hello everyone, I'm new here, please take care of me. Duan Yun greeted them politely.
"New here, alas, there is another unlucky bastard, where to go is not good, just come to the North Courtyard......" The students who sighed raised their heads, and saw that it was a little hairy child, and they couldn't help but be disappointed.
However, there was a fat student with sharp eyes, and after glancing at it, he exclaimed, "You are ...... Duan Yun....?"
The fat student's name is Zhang Yue, and when Duan Yun and Wang Hao were fighting, there were many onlookers, and he was one of them. Duan Yun's performance was so good, so he couldn't help but remember the name.
"It's down there" Duan Yun was puzzled, the fat man in front of him had never met, how could he know himself?
"Everyone, hurry up, he is Duan Yun who I told you yesterday about defeating the law enforcement captain Wang Hao...... We have hope......" the fat man shouted at the top of his voice.
In fact, there was no need for him to shout, the students had already surrounded when they heard the word Duan Yun.
Like the stars holding the moon, everyone introduced themselves in a gossipy manner, making Duan Yun cry and laugh, this is too enthusiastic.
Finally, the scene gradually stopped.
"Everyone, I just saw that you were all sighing, what happened?" Duan Yun interjected.
"Well, it's hard to see at a glance, let's go inside. Zhang Yue pulled up Duan Yun and entered his cave surrounded by everyone.
"You just arrived, and you probably don't know about the Academy. The students of the training branch are divided into two major factions, the Qingfeng Gang and the Red Blood Gang, which existed a few years ago, although the students will face the choice of graduation, but the iron-clad battalion and flowing soldiers, the last gang leader is gone, naturally someone will take over, and in the long run, it will exist as a fixed force. ”
After a pause, Zhang Yue continued: "Originally, this had nothing to do with our Alchemy Branch, but just some time ago, the two gangs suddenly stretched out their hands to us for some reason. The other three districts are covered by people, and life is better, but our northern district is all children of poor families, and they can't afford to pay high protection fees, and they have no background, so at the end of each month, these two gangs will come to grab the pills, and there are very few people in our alchemy branch who practice martial arts, and we can't beat them, so we can only accept our fate. It was better at the beginning, but now we have all the pills we have accumulated. Today is the end of the month, and soon these locusts will come again, alas, where can I get the elixir for them?"
"Doesn't the academy care?" Duan Yun really couldn't listen anymore, his brows furrowed, and he interrupted Zhang Yue's words.
"Don't mention it, the head of the academy has been missing for a long time. There are three vice presidents in total, two of which are the backstage of the two gangs, and most of the pills and items collected by the gang end up flowing into their pockets. Although Vice Dean Changqing wanted to take care of it, his two fists were hard to beat his four hands, and he could only be anxious.
"There is such a thing!" Duan Yun was angry from his heart, and smashed the stone table in front of him with a "snap".
Just then, there was a jumble of footsteps outside.
"Students from the North District, I'm here to collect protection money! Why don't you come to greet you, hehe!" a shrill voice sounded suddenly.
Duan Yun and the others rushed out of the cave, and they were greeted by several young men dressed in the uniforms of physical training students, with an armband embroidered with the word "Qingfeng" on the sleeve of their left arm.
"It's the Qingfeng Gang, these miscellaneous pieces!" Zhang Yue said in a low voice through gritted teeth.
However, although his voice was very low, he was still heard by the person who called himself Zhou Tong at the head.
"What are you talking about, be louder!" Zhou Tong rushed to Zhang Yue and grabbed him by the collar.
"Let him go!" Duan Yun shouted angrily.
"Yo, I said why did these sheep suddenly tremble, it turned out that they had a backer...... However, this backer is not very good...... The hair hasn't grown yet......" Zhou Tong said, and the people behind him laughed.
However, before he could finish speaking, he noticed that his two front teeth seemed to have left their original positions, and a sharp pain followed.
"Ahh
"Who the hell are you?" Zhou Tong had never heard of such a powerful character in the North District, he thought that with his strength as a fifth-level martial artist, he was enough to run rampant in the North District, but he didn't expect that he didn't even have a chance to fight back, so he was knocked out of his teeth.
Suddenly, he shuddered. It is said that a ruthless man came yesterday, not very old, and actually beat Wang Hao half to death, could it be that the young man in front of him is the evil star?
He didn't dare to think any further, so he hurriedly glanced at his comrades who wanted to come up to help, and was about to flee.
"What, don't you want to know who I am?" Duan Yun crossed his arms and said coldly.
"Duan Yun, you wait for me. Zhou Tong had basically determined the identity of the young man in front of him, shouted inwardly, and ran down the mountain with his comrades like lost dogs. kept looking back as he ran, for fear that Duan Yun would catch up.
"Boss Duan Yun, this time it's really majestic, haha. Seeing the lackeys of the Qingfeng Gang being beaten, the North District was boiling. Invisibly, Duan Yun's status in their hearts has been raised a lot.
However, Zhang Yue frowned. "Don't get too happy, everyone. Zhou Tong is just a second-rate character in the Qingfeng Gang, and this time he went back, it is estimated that he will have to move the rescuers...... Their gang leader, Yue Qing, is a powerful person, and it is said that he is already a ninth-level martial servant......"
Zhang Yue's words were like a basin of cold water, extinguishing the fire that had just risen in everyone's hearts.
"Yes, if that Yue Qing comes, what should we do?" For a while, the compound in the North District fell silent. Everyone's eyes looked at Duan Yun in unison.
"What are you looking at me for? The soldiers are coming to block it, and the water is coming to cover it. But it's not a way to keep going like this......" Duan Yun was also worried. If it was just a ninth-level martial servant, he should still be able to handle it, but if there were a large number of people, he wouldn't even be able to teleport.
"I have an idea...... Zhang Yue pondered for a while and said suddenly.
