Chapter 276

Once everyone had returned to the monastery, all the elders had received a huge number of merit points as rewards. However, Elder Sun had obtained less than half of what the others had.
Elder Sun had gloomily returned to his immortal cave. The next day, a piece of news came that infuriated him even more. An Elder, who had fought remarkably during that battle, was replacing him as the Elder in charge of the Xuantian pavilion.
That news made him almost explode in fury. The monthly rations for Elders were split in accordance to their position. He had been in charge of the Xiantian pavilion for decades. He hadn't expected Tu Fang to be so vicious and take away that position.
He was now essentially a sinecure Elder. A sinecure Elder had no position and would get the lowest amount of rations.
Even amongst the other Elders of the monastery, he had been a high-ranking figure. The other Elders would all have to be courteous when speaking to him.
But now because of just an ‘accident', he had been suspended from his position. Without those resources, he would have to live sparingly and his cultivation would stall.
Chen then meets Elder Sun, who gets irritated.
"Are you looking to die?!" raged Elder Sun. Long Chen's insult of being a ‘negative person' was directed to those male cultivators who trained in Yin techniques, becoming neither Yin or Yang, ending up neither male nor female.
"Looking for crapDie (死 si) and Crap (屎 shi) can sound somewhat similar in Chinese? Correct, otherwise why would I be here? I came here precisely to look for a piece of crap like you!" 
== Trade ==
"I want to make a trade with you." Long Chen said. An old stone appeared in his hand. There were some strange diagrams on it that released an ancient aura.
Elder Sun's pupils shrank the moment he saw that stone. He could tell that this stone was black zirconium. 
"Tell me what you want. But remember, a trade has to be fair. Don't bother trying to ask for too much." Elder Sun wasn't a fool. He couldn't let Long Chen ask for too much, so he first spoke out to give himself an opportunity to haggle.
Long Chen handed over a sheet of paper. "Gather up everything on this page."
