Cultivating with Bragging System-Chapter 391 - 219 A Loving Family and the Temptation of the Demonic Path (6100 words)_4
The reward was still quite substantial. The further one ascends on the path of cultivation, the more perilous it becomes.
Even though Wang Xiu had an ace up his sleeve, having a few real Saints guide his cultivation would always be much better.
HISS, wait a minute...
Suddenly, Wang Xiu remembered that he was already a Saint Heir. Even without this, wouldn’t the Immortal Sect still nurture him?
Upon realizing this, Wang Xiu’s gaze toward Zhuo Canglang became filled with silent reproach.
"What about the Spirit Stones? Are those on credit too?"
"Of course not!" Zhuo Canglang straightened his back instantly. "Doesn’t your Spirit Turtle Peak have a mine? When it’s time to hand over the Sect’s share, just deduct one hundred thousand for yourself!"
Wang Xiu: "..."
"COUGH, COUGH, COUGH..." Zhuo Canglang’s old face flushed red, knowing he was in the wrong.
"Damn it, this is so embarrassing!" the black crow squawked, using its wings to cover its eyes.
Great! So this massive reward was all just an IOU!
"Sect Leader... talk about writing bounced checks," Wang Xiu said, finding the situation rather amusing. He knew about the Sanqing Immortal Sect’s predicament and the current state of affairs, so he didn’t blame Zhuo Canglang.
Zhuo Canglang cleared his throat awkwardly, even though he had no idea what a "bounced check" was.
But... did he not know what he had just done? It was too embarrassing to even mention.
"It’s not like you’re getting nothing... I’ve prepared a special gift for you, one I guarantee you’ll be satisfied with. You’ll find out what it is once we get back to the Immortal Sect!" Zhuo Canglang said.
Wang Xiu raised an eyebrow, curious. He waited for a while, but when no system notification sounded, he actually started to feel a sense of anticipation.
The Immortal Sect was so poor it couldn’t even hand out Spirit Stones. What kind of surprise could it possibly be?
"Then I must thank you, Martial Uncle!" Wang Xiu smiled. No matter what, he had to maintain his etiquette.
"Right, let me add you to the group first!"
"Uh, what group?" Wang Xiu was puzzled.
"The Immortal Sect’s highest-level discussion group," Zhuo Canglang explained. "Only the leaders of each sect are qualified to join. It’s only used for communicating about exceptionally important matters!"
[DING! Detected someone bragging nearby. Congratulations to the Host for gaining Mana +2,999!]
"So I can..."
"You are the Saint Heir. Your status is esteemed, making yours a special case. You have the qualifications!"
Not long after he finished speaking, Wang Xiu’s Communication Token trembled.
[Sanqing Sect Leader Zhuo Canglang has invited you to the group chat — Daily Urge to Beat Up the Sect Leader]
Wang Xiu: !!!
That group name!
"Damn it, which bastard secretly changed the group name again? Don’t let me catch you!"
Zhuo Canglang exploded with rage and, with a dark expression, changed the group’s name right in front of Wang Xiu to—The Temptation of the Demon Race!
Wang Xiu: "..."
It was hard to associate a name like that with anything serious!
What on earth were these Sect Leaders talking about in here every day?
Curious, Wang Xiu glanced at the chat. Several messages immediately caught his eye.
[Shadow Sect Leader Qiu Siying: I never paid much attention before, but Martial Nephew Wang Xiu is truly adorable! I was just thinking of finding a suitable husband for my eldest disciple...]
[Wine Sect Leader Sikong Yang: Are you crazy? He’s still a child! Your disciple is already four hundred years old!]
[Water Sect Leader Yan Ruoxia: Exactly! The age gap is too large, they wouldn’t be happy. My disciple is perfect, just over a hundred. A little older means she knows how to dote on someone!]
[Sonic Sect Leader Gong Shangyu: All of you, settle down. You’re all elders, have some dignity. How shameless would it be if word of this got out?]
[Sword Sect Leader Dugu Qingqian: Exactly!]
[Shadow Sect Leader Qiu Siying: Wow, Sister Dugu is actually chatting! You never used to idly chat in the group!]
[Water Sect Leader Yan Ruoxia: I get it! Sister Dugu is interested! After all these years without a Daoist partner, could she have been waiting for this moment?]
[Wine Sect Leader Sikong Yang: Have you lost your mind too? Sister Dugu is over eight hundred years old!]
[Sword Sect Leader Dugu Qingqian: !!!]
"..." Wang Xiu’s face twitched continuously.
