Chapter 83: Chapter 83: Nothing But a Piece of Scrap Metal
Wu Tiangang’s face was covered in shock.
Though a Dao Entering Celestial Master was not the sort of Immortal who could summon the wind and call forth the rain, and even compared to martial artists of the same level, their status was much lower,
the Celestial Master was still an important force fought over by the major families.
In the Provincial City, the Chu Family was powerfully dominant, and with Elder Qi stepping into the level of Celestial Master, they hosted a banquet in his honor, wishing the whole city to know, just to demonstrate the status of Celestial Masters in everyone’s hearts.
Yet, at this moment, Chen Fan had declared Elder Qi to be worthless.
This naturally shocked Wu Tiangang.
"Could it be that Master Chen’s realm has already surpassed that of a Celestial Master?" Wu Tiangang murmured to himself.
He had witnessed the capabilities of Chen Fan, who was his unwavering follower.
Since Chen Fan looked down on Elder Qi, Wu Tiangang naturally had no further thoughts of making his acquaintance.
"Master Chen, shall we leave now?" Wu Tiangang inquired.
Chen Fan thought for a moment, "Since we’re already here, let’s grab a bite before we leave. I’m actually a bit hungry."
Wu Tiangang laughed and nodded his head.
The two of them moved together towards the gourmet area.
Chen Fan did not notice that, in a corner of the hall, Dong Peiyun was staring at him, dumbfounded.
"Chen Fan... is not even a Celestial Master, let alone a cultivator? Was I played yesterday night?" Dong Peiyun murmured to herself.
After returning last night, she shared with her family Wu Tiangang’s refusal to examine their property’s Feng Shui, and indeed, she was scolded harshly as expected.
To make up for this mistake, she used all her connections, and eventually spent a hefty sum to obtain a ticket to the Celestial Master banquet.
Everyone attending the banquet was a major figure in cultivation; if Wu Tiangang wouldn’t help her family with Feng Shui, she’d seek help from another.
Just as she was conversing with a master, she inadvertently witnessed Chen Fan’s arrival.
Remembering the humilitation she suffered because of Chen Fan last night, she felt a surge of anger.
"So your so-called title of Celestial Master was just a bluff to deceive others, truly shameless!" Dong Peiyun gritted her teeth, rolled her eyes, and marched straight toward Chen Fan.
Chen Fan and Wu Tiangang were eating.
"Chen Fan, you have no shame!" Dong Peiyun yelled angrily.
Chen Fan turned his head, somewhat surprised, "Miss Dong, please be respectful. I have not provoked you."
Dong Peiyun huffed, "Stop pretending! Weren’t you so confident last night? Do you know how much humiliation your actions caused me? And it turns out, your Celestial Master status is completely fake!"
"Now that Celestial Master Qi has personally exposed you, what do you have to say for yourself?"
"Apologize to me right now, or this matter won’t end!"
Chen Fan was speechless.
Wu Tiangang frowned and looked at Dong Peiyun, "Girl, you have no idea who you’re talking to. You better leave now. If you anger Master Chen, you’ll regret it before you even have the chance!"
Dong Peiyun scoffed, "What kind of existence can he be? Nothing but a charlatan posing as something he’s not!"
She gave Wu Tiangang a few evaluating glances, "As for you, I actually mistook you for a master, yet you treat Chen Fan, this fraud, as a Celestial Master. It seems your own abilities are limited, nowhere worthy of the master title!"
"You!" Wu Tiangang was so angry his face turned red and his neck thickened.
Many onlookers couldn’t help but laugh, which only emboldened Dong Peiyun further.
She crossed her arms and glared at Chen Fan, "Apologize to me right now!"
"You don’t deserve it," Chen Fan said indifferently.
Dong Peiyun was stomping her feet in anger, yet she was helpless to do anything about it.
Just then, Chu Yunkuo stepped forward, and proclaimed loudly, "Ladies and gentlemen, today’s Celestial Master banquet is held for two reasons, one is to celebrate Elder Qi’s successful Dao Entering and the establishment of his name as Celestial Master Qi, and the other is to showcase a magic artifact that our Chu Family has recently obtained!"
"This magic artifact possesses tremendous might, and we will now have Celestial Master Qi give us a demonstration, to let everyone feast their eyes!"
Everyone’s faces revealed looks of anticipation.
Even Dong Peiyun’s attention was temporarily drawn away.
Elder Qi stepped forward, flipped his hand, and the Yin Yang Bagua Plate appeared in his grasp.
"Ladies and gentlemen, this object is called the Yin Yang Bagua Plate, it is a magic artifact passed down from ancient times!"
"Inside the Bagua Plate is an embedded array, and I am about to activate it so that everyone can experience its power!"
No sooner had his words fallen than Elder Qi began to inject his mana into the Yin Yang Bagua Plate.
A Yin Yang fish pattern instantly appeared on the Bagua Plate, spreading around the hall, covering the entire space.
Afterward, Elder Qi changed the Hand Gestures, and the Bagua Plate emitted bursts of bright light, causing the temperature inside the hall to skyrocket instantaneously.
It was already winter, with a sudden drop in the temperature, but as soon as the array on the Bagua Plate was activated, the entire hall felt as if it had entered summer, and many people began to sweat.
"It’s so hot." Some people even took off their coats.
Elder Qi saw the reaction of the crowd, chuckled in amusement, and changed his Hand Gestures again.
Almost in an instant, the entire hall was bone-chillingly cold, and the temperature plunged below zero.
The water in many people’s cups even froze into ice.
Those who had taken off their clothes hurriedly put them back on, shivering from the cold.
After a while, Elder Qi ceased his mana, the Yin Yang fish pattern disappeared, and the temperature in the hall returned to normal.
Most of those present were Cultivators, and at this moment, they all looked at the Bagua Plate in Elder Qi’s hand with faces full of shock.
"This... such an array can actually change the climate at will, truly terrifying!"
"Magic Artifact! This is a real magic artifact! Compared with this, the items in our hands are nothing but scrap metal!"
...
Elder Qi had a proud look of self-satisfaction, reveling in the worship of the crowd as if he were a true Celestial Master.
Dong Peiyun’s face was filled with shock as she muttered, "Is this... is this what a true Celestial Master is like? Amazing..."
Even Wu Tiangang envied him, "Such a magic artifact is indeed impressive. I wonder when I will be able to possess an artifact of this level."
Chen Fan laughed heartily, "Magic artifact? That’s nothing but a piece of worthless scrap metal!"
Wu Tiangang and Dong Peiyun both turned their heads to look at Chen Fan at the same time.
Dong Peiyun was somewhat speechless, "Why do you enjoy blatantly lying? Didn’t you feel the power of that array just now? You’re a swindler who can only fool people, so don’t embarrass yourself here!"
Chen Fan chuckled, with no intention of arguing with such ignorant rabble.
Wu Tiangang was also muttering to himself, "Master Chen seems a bit uninformed saying that, but he probably just doesn’t like Celestial Master Qi and the Members of the Chu Family, so he must be saying it deliberately."
At this moment, Chu Yunkuo too was full of pride. His gaze swept over the crowd and finally landed on Chen Fan, with a mocking smile, he walked over.
"Mr. Chen, on the day of the auction, you claimed this magic artifact was worthless. Now that you’ve felt the might of this magic artifact, do you still dare to say that?" Chu Yunkuo’s voice was very loud, once again drawing the attention of the crowd.
Dong Peiyun curled her lip, "This guy was just talking tough, saying that Celestial Master Qi’s artifact was worthless scrap metal. I really don’t know where he gets his confidence from!"
Seeing that Chu Yunkuo was once again directing his challenge at him, Chen Fan felt anger rising in his heart, "If it’s worthless, it’s worthless. I’m simply telling the truth."
"An object that can only change the temperature also deserves the name of a magic artifact?"
