I Have an Omen System-Chapter 78 - 76: Receiving Congratulatory Gifts
Before this, he had also acted on Chen Xuanba’s orders.
He had sought out that Xiao Ran and mentioned the rules for the Incense Master assessment.
That kid’s reaction was far worse than Qin Xuan’s. The moment he heard he had to kill so many Righteous Cultivators, he actually asked if it was too bloody and against the harmony of heaven.
Hearing that, Wei Qingyi wanted to slap him to death right then and there.
...
"Junior Brother Qin, this is the Hundred Beasts Sect. Most of their disciples have weak Flesh Bodies, focusing instead on Divine Sense cultivation and Beast Taming."
"This is the Thousand Mechanisms Pavilion. They focus on researching Arrays and Mechanical Technique and are skilled at setting traps."
Wei Qingyi was in a great mood. With nothing better to do, he explained each one to Qin Xuan. "This is the Little Talisman Sect. Most of their disciples are proficient in Talismanic Seals and Talismans. Their various Magic Talismans have a wide range of functions and can catch you by surprise."
"And this one is the Celestial Workshop. They’re famous for refining Magical Artifacts and also have a unique knack for forging flying swords and Magical Treasures..."
He slowly laid out the strengths and weaknesses of every Sect and even pointed out several of the Righteous Sects that were most suitable for Qin Xuan.
"I see. Thank you, Senior Brother Wei," Qin Xuan said gratefully.
After Wei Qingyi’s introductions, Qin Xuan had a relatively clear understanding of them.
’I have three Positional Divine Techniques: the Flame Demon, the Heart-Eroding Nail, and the Heart-Burning Candle. Powerful Magic and killing without a trace are my strengths. Plus, I have the Blood Flood Dragon Pearl, which can intimidate Demon Beasts.’
’Choosing Righteous Cultivators with weak Flesh Bodies will be the easiest for me.’
’It’s you...’
’...the Hundred Beasts Sect!’
A sharp glint flashed in Qin Xuan’s eyes. Just as he was about to speak, the giant sphere of light in his mind suddenly began to flicker.
Three ancient bamboo sticks flew out from it.
[Top-Top Lottery: Choose Taiyi True View. The two factions are currently in conflict. When the snipe and clam grapple, the fisherman profits. You will obtain a Fifth-Grade Opportunity, retreat unscathed, and have great fortune.]
[Middle-Middle Draw: Choose the Hundred Beasts Sect. The Blood Flood Dragon Pearl will intimidate the Demon Beasts, but you will suffer damage to your Divine Sense from a dying counterattack. You can obtain a Ninth-Grade Opportunity. Fortune and misfortune are intertwined. Neutral.]
[Middle-Lower Draw: Choose one from the Thousand Mechanisms Pavilion, Little Talisman Sect, or Celestial Workshop. You might obtain an Eighth-Grade Opportunity, but there is a hidden ambush. Your chance of survival is slim. Ominous!]
Qin Xuan’s heart skipped a beat.
’The Golden Finger is warning me. I can’t choose the Hundred Beasts Sect.’
’The other Sects like the Thousand Mechanisms Pavilion and Celestial Workshop, which are proficient in the hundred arts of cultivation, are even worse choices. They’ve already laid an ambush, just waiting for a Demon Cultivator to walk into their trap!’
Qin Xuan said, "Senior Brother Wei, I choose this one. Taiyi True View."
Hearing this, a flash of surprise crossed Wei Qingyi’s eyes. The smile on his face slowly vanished, replaced by sheer astonishment.
"Junior Brother Qin, what made you choose them?"
Qin Xuan flashed a toothy grin. "I just like the look of them the most."
Wei Qingyi almost laughed himself to tears. "You’ve got some nerve, kid. Do you have any idea what the Cultivation of Taiyi True View’s Observatory Master is?"
Qin Xuan shook his head blankly.
"Taiyi True View is located within the Daqian Jade Wind Country. They advocate for the Unity of Heaven and Man and revere Daoist Techniques. Their disciples have strong physiques and practice Daoist and Martial Dual Cultivation. They’re considered one of the strongest Foundation Establishment Sects in the Righteous Dao of Daqian."
"Their Observatory Master, Xuanzhen Ascendant, has a Cultivation that has reached the late-stage Foundation Establishment. Rumor has it he’s just one step away from Guiding his Fate Star and opening his Purple Mansion!"
Wei Qingyi said seriously, "Are you sure? You want to choose Taiyi True View?"
"If I don’t challenge the strongest, how can I be worthy of the Jia-level title?"
Qin Xuan declared, "For the Incense Master ranking, this is as it should be."
"Haha! Good! A fine ’as it should be’!" Wei Qingyi was extremely pleased. Qin Xuan’s answer was exactly to his liking.
"Junior Brother Qin, go back and prepare. In seven days, I will see you off personally!"
Qin Xuan cupped his fists. "Thank you for your trouble, Senior Brother."
...
CLANG~~
Just after seeing Qin Xuan off, a long, deep bell chime suddenly rang out in Wei Qingyi’s Cave Mansion.
Immediately after, a streak of bluish-purple lightning flew in from the horizon, transforming into a black Token that floated silently before Wei Qingyi.
Wei Qingyi took the Token.
A grand, indifferent voice sounded out.
"Qingyi, the Sect Leader has made an exception, allowing us to add a Jia-level Incense Master assessment slot for Xiao Ran."
"The trial location... the Righteous Thousand Mechanisms Pavilion."
Hearing this, Wei Qingyi froze. His brow furrowed as he thought, ’What is this Xiao Ran’s background, that he can make the Sect Leader make an exception!’
’Could he be the Sect Leader’s illegitimate son, lost to the outside world?’
Although he thought this, Wei Qingyi still outwardly agreed, cupping his fists and saying:
"I will obey the Martial Uncle’s decree."
The black Demon Order dissolved into a puff of black smoke and slowly vanished.
...
After Wei Qingyi left, Qin Xuan went to the Scripture Pavilion again, specifically to find and carefully study the *Daqian Historical and Geographical Atlas*.
’No wonder the Divination said that when the snipe and clam grapple, the fisherman profits... So Taiyi True View isn’t even a native Sect of the Jade Wind Country?’
According to the records, Taiyi True View was a branch of the Cyan Cloud Sect, which it broke away from five hundred years ago to establish itself independently.
Within the borders of the Jade Wind Country, there was another Righteous Sect.
The Danxia Sect.
The Danxia Sect was mostly composed of Qi Cultivation Female Cultivators who were skilled in Alchemy, but their Cultivation levels were not high. Ever since Taiyi True View moved to the Jade Wind Country, the Danxia Sect had gradually faded into obscurity.
Even Wei Qingyi’s Sheepskin Scroll map no longer had any record of the Danxia Sect.
’...From the looks of it, the Cultivators of Taiyi True View are no saints either,’ Qin Xuan mused silently.
...
Since there was still some time before the official Incense Master assessment.
For the next few days, Qin Xuan stabilized his Cultivation in his Cave Mansion.
Who would have thought that Demon Cultivators would show up in an endless stream to deliver congratulatory gifts.
Besides Ji Boying and Wei Qingyi...
...there was Wen Shichu of the Plague Bone Altar, Lord Yin Hei, the Defeated Blood Altar Master, the Soul-Devouring Altar Master...
As if they had planned it, every single one of them gave Qin Xuan 250,000 Contribution Points as a congratulatory gift.
A total of one million Contribution Points.
Su Mei Fairy from the Joy Altar, on the other hand, gave Qin Xuan 15 Joyful Gold Coupons.
As she was leaving, Su Mei even shot Qin Xuan a seductive look, her eyes shimmering as she giggled.
"Master Qin, this servant will be waiting for you at the Joy Altar. You absolutely must not let these Gold Coupons go to waste!"
Qin Xuan replied, "Su Fairy, rest assured, I will definitely pay a visit."
He turned away.
Then, Qin Xuan resold all 15 Joyful Gold Coupons for 16,000 Contribution Points each.
’Man, reaching Foundation Establishment is the way to go. It’s a fucking gold mine.’
Just from receiving congratulatory gifts for his Foundation Establishment, he had already made a fortune.
Staring at the full 1,240,000 Contribution Points in his Blood Loan Money Shop account, Qin Xuan grinned from ear to ear.
He was so happy he could barely think straight.
Although he hadn’t celebrated with as much fanfare as Xiao Ran...
...some people were just insistent on coming to his door to give him money.
’What could I do!’
The 900,000-point loan he took out for the Heart-Burning Candle... he hadn’t even thought about paying it back yet, and now the money had already returned to him, and then some.
Qin Xuan sighed with emotion.
’I really love the Demon Sect’s style of bullying the weak and fearing the strong.’
After that came countless Demon Cultivator Stewards, Instructors, and so on.
Qin Xuan could no longer remember who had come to give gifts, or how much they had given.
The Evil Spirit Child, Xie Qing, didn’t send anything. Qin Xuan made a note of it in his little black book.
It wasn’t like the Stewards and Instructors would have anything good that Qin Xuan would care about, but it was the thought that counted.
In the end, the congratulatory gifts, large and small, had nearly filled his entire Cave Mansion.
Among all these people, besides Xie Qing, there was one other person who left a particularly deep impression on Qin Xuan.
The former Steward—Wang Jian!
