Talk About Bragging, How Do You Really Have The Qualifications Of The Great Emperor?

Chapter 2: This place is bustling with Taoists, and even the Ghost King trembles!

Nine years ago.

After Luo Binglan divined on Spirit Turtle Peak, she excitedly ran to Sea Demon Island, saying she wanted to find some transcendent-level great opportunity.

As a result, she plunged into the Demon Race stronghold and was surrounded by over a dozen old demons at the Saint Manifestation stage.

That battle was extremely tragic.

The self-proclaimed "unrivaled among peers" female overlord of Spirit Turtle Peak was beaten to the point of losing half her life, almost depleting all her lifespan. She fought desperately to escape and managed to kill her way out.

After returning.

She buried herself in a coffin and hid in the ancestral tomb behind Spirit Turtle Peak, sleeping and recuperating.

Since then.

No one has seen Luo Binglan again.

Even Wang Xiu can only chat with her cheap master during the Qingming Festival when they burn paper offerings at the grave.

Normally, they have no contact with each other, as if they were orphans.

Regarding this.

Countless people clapped and mourned.

This also made the reputation of the Divination Lineage even worse than before.

This lineage is even capable of deceiving its own!

...

Carrying the title of "true disciple of the Divination Lineage," Wang Xiu's treatment in the Three Purities Immortal Gate can be imagined.

His father doesn't care, his grandmother doesn't love him.

Apart from receiving a monthly subsidy of spirit stones, he hardly receives any guidance or treatment that true disciples should receive.

After all.

He can't just dig up his cheap master from the ancestral tomb every time he encounters a bottleneck in his cultivation!

That would be a bit too presumptuous.

In this "orphan-like" completely neglected state, Wang Xiu, at the age of 15, only reached the Qi Refining Seventh Layer.

Among the true disciples of the Three Purities Immortal Gate, he is considered the last.

Fortunately.

Half a month ago, Wang Xiu bound himself to a system.

After binding to the system, as long as he hears someone bragging around him, he can directly obtain various rewards and continuously improve his cultivation strength.

And so.

In just half a month, Wang Xiu has soared from the Qi Refining Seventh Layer to the Foundation Building Second Layer.

It can be said.

This breakthrough speed, even if you look at the entire Three Purities Immortal Gate, or even the entire Immortal Cultivation World.

Is quite explosive!

...

Buzz~!

Just as Wang Xiu consolidated his cultivation and was preparing to continue showing off while shopping, the communication jade talisman at his waist vibrated.

Summon!

Wang Xiu took off the communication jade talisman and cast a spell.

Immediately.

A clear light shot out from the jade talisman and transformed into a half-foot-sized Mysterious Light Mirror in front of Wang Xiu.

In the Mysterious Light Mirror, a cold and helpless woman said, "Junior Brother Wang Xiu, if you don't return to the mountain soon, your mission will be considered a failure."

For eight hundred years, the world has not been peaceful. The righteous path and the demonic cultivators have been constantly fighting and killing each other. In places far from the influence of the Immortal Gate, there are often massacres and exterminations.

The Three Purities Immortal Gate stands tall in Luo River County of South State, adhering to the principle of using swords to save the people and eliminating evil. Even if their vitality is greatly damaged, they remain unwavering in their beliefs.

This conviction has made the Three Purities Immortal Gate the target of countless demons and evil cultivators.

For hundreds of years, numerous disciples of the Three Purities Immortal Gate have been attacked and retaliated against by demons when they go down the mountain to train.

Therefore, whenever disciples of the Three Purities Immortal Gate go down the mountain to train, they usually travel in groups and are required to return to the mountain as soon as they complete their missions to avoid danger.

However, as a "loner" from the Spirit Turtle Peak Divination Lineage, Wang Xiu cannot possibly carry his master's coffin down the mountain.

Furthermore, disciples from other branches also keep their distance from the Divination Lineage and are unwilling to interact or train with Wang Xiu.

Therefore, in order to hear others bragging, Wang Xiu can only go alone to the foot of the mountain to gain experience.

He also cannot venture too far from the Immortal Gate for his training. He usually stays in the towns near the Immortal Gate.

Even the most rampant demons and evil spirits dare not act recklessly in these towns.

After all, with the large-scale collapse of the spiritual stone veins, the elders and disciples of the Three Purities Immortal Gate are almost going crazy from poverty.

A piece of spiritual stone has to be split into two halves!

When they see demons and evil spirits, their eyes light up like they see walking rewards, spiritual stones, and sect contribution points, and they rush forward eagerly.

In such a place full of Taoist priests, even the Ghost King would tremble!

Waving his hand, Wang Xiu disconnected from the Mysterious Light Mirror, and then he formed a hand seal, shooting out a green light from his sleeve.

It turned into a palm-sized turtle shell, spinning rapidly in front of him. As it continued to rotate, its size quickly increased within a few breaths, and in the blink of an eye, it was the size of a millstone.

Wang Xiu leaped onto the turtle shell.

In the next second, the turtle shell shot up into the sky with a whoosh, leaving a trail of green light that was so fast that even the afterimage couldn't be seen.

Black Tortoise Mirror!

Before his cheap master was buried, he left Wang Xiu with this Law Weapon for protection. Although it was only a Supreme Grade Law Weapon, its flying speed was comparable to many Spirit Weapons.

It also had low energy consumption, making it the best choice for traveling and training.

Half an incense stick later, Wang Xiu's turtle shell stopped in front of the mission hall. This was the most prosperous place in the entire Three Purities Immortal Gate, with countless people passing through every day.

"Sister Qingyu, I'm here to turn in my mission," Wang Xiu said as he walked up to the mission counter, smiling and taking out the mission scroll and a delicate jade box. "Sister, this is something I found on the mountain. It's not worth much."

"But it must look especially good on you, enough to charm people to death!" she said, finishing her sentence.

He opened the jade box, inside of which were several delicate jade hairpins, rouge, and a jade pestle, none of which emitted any spiritual energy fluctuations. For cultivators, their value was indeed not high.

However...

The designs of these accessories were indeed exquisite, appearing to have been carefully selected.

"You sweet-talker!"

"I wonder how many ignorant young girls you've fooled outside~"

True disciple Xiao Qingyu covered her mouth and chuckled, looking at this junior brother in front of her who was only 15 years old but had already been recognized by countless senior sisters as the most attractive true disciple.

She felt both happy and annoyed.

According to the rules of the Mission Hall, true disciples must be received by Xiao Qingyu, who was also a true disciple, when they accept missions in the Mission Hall.

But this guy, Wang Xiu, as a true disciple, what kind of missions was he taking day after day?

Helping the Zhang family with feng shui?

Assisting the Li family with ancestral rites?

Calculating marriage prospects for the Liu family?

Determining the fate of the Zhao family?

...

Although the sect had been facing financial difficulties in recent centuries, the sect leader called for self-sufficiency and hard work to become wealthy.

Earning money was not embarrassing.

Even the previously despised funeral rites, feng shui, marriage prospects, and sacrifices were now accepted without discrimination.

Even...

If you offer a high enough price, it's not impossible to have a group of Three Purities Daoists perform swordplay at a wedding and use elemental thunder as fireworks.

But...

Why would these missions require a true disciple like you? Just send one or two registered disciples from the sect, isn't that enough?

As a true disciple of the Three Purities, shouldn't you be capturing demons and subduing evil spirits?

Looking at feng shui, calculating fortunes...

Not only did it lower the prestige of the true disciples of the Three Purities Immortal Gate, but it also severely lowered the price!

Moreover...

Every time he completed a mission, Wang Xiu would linger at the foot of the mountain, delaying his return to the sect.

Sometimes, Xiao Qingyu had to remind him through messages, and he would directly drag it out until the mission was overdue!

This guy...

Not only did he not receive the reward himself, but even Xiao Qingyu was affected.

After all...

As the mission issuer, it was Xiao Qingyu's responsibility to assign suitable missions to suitable disciples.

Every failed mission had an impact on Xiao Qingyu's record.

If it was because the mission was too difficult and failed unexpectedly, it would be understandable. But for Wang Xiu to go down the mountain to calculate someone's fortune or look at feng shui...

It was simply ridiculous for such a mission to fail due to being overdue...

Xiao Qingyu seriously doubted that this guy was just pretending to go on missions and was actually just bored on the mountain, indulging in the worldly pleasures.

After all...

It was well known that the Three Purities Immortal Gate provided subsidies to all major branches.

Although Spirit Turtle Peak received very little subsidy, only 100 spirit stones per month, which was about 10 taels in weight, it couldn't compare to the Divination Lineage, where he was the only one.

This kid.

Doesn't do anything all month, but can get 10 spirit stones, easily exchangeable for 100 gold and 1000 silver. You could say he's rolling in wealth.

If he really gave up on himself, he could live a carefree life at the foot of the mountain.

After a few overdue incidents.

Esteemed true disciple Xiao Qingyu has developed a habit.

That is, before going to work every day, she checks Wang Xiu's task deadline. If it's close to overdue, she directly sends a message to remind him.

Urging him to return to the mountain and complete the task.

Goodness.

Even her mother urging her father to come home and deliver the public grain wasn't this proactive!

"Sister."

Wang Xiu smirked, "Are there any tasks in nearby towns? Preferably feng shui, grave relocation, fortune-telling, or something like that. I'm interested in those."

Interested?

Xiao Qingyu rolled her beautiful eyes, "There are tasks, but for the next two days, you can't leave the mountain."

Wang Xiu was stunned, "Why?"

Xiao Qingyu teased, "It's the disciples' recruitment ceremony held every three years. All the major branches have to gather at Seeking Dao Peak to recruit new disciples. Divination Lineage only has you as the sole descendant. If you don't go, who will?"

Recruitment ceremony?

Hearing these four words, Wang Xiu's face fell, "Can I not go?"

The recruitment ceremony held every three years. Since the age of 6, Wang Xiu had been representing Divination Lineage in recruiting people, but every three years, it was followed by another three years.

Nine years!

Not a single new recruit, but instead, she would be pointed at by disciples from other branches every time.

This event.

It's simply asking for trouble!

Xiao Qingyu's eyes were full of sympathy, "I understand your difficulties, but there's no other way."

"After all,"

"You don't want the sect to abolish Divination Lineage and deprive you of the monthly subsidy of 100 spirit stones, right?"

Hiss~

Wang Xiu's body trembled, laughing in a way that was even uglier than crying, "Thank you for reminding me, Sister. I understand."

Making money!

No shame!

Xiao Qingyu patted Wang Xiu's shoulder with a smile, "Actually, the recruitment ceremony is just the major branches bragging and deceiving new disciples."

"If you exaggerate a bit, maybe you can fool a few new disciples into accompanying you to Spirit Turtle Peak!"

Crack~!

In Wang Xiu's mind, it was as if a thunderbolt had struck, "Sister, what did you just say?"

Xiao Qingyu was taken aback, "Fool a few new disciples into accompanying you to Spirit Turtle Peak?"

Wang Xiu said, "No, the previous sentence."

Xiao Qingyu cried and laughed, "The recruitment ceremony, it's just the major branches bragging and deceiving new disciples, right?"

Just the major branches deceiving new disciples, bragging?

Beautiful!!!

In Wang Xiu's eyes, an unprecedented radiance and enthusiasm burst forth.

"This ceremony sounds really exciting!"

"I'm getting fired up!"
