Dashing Student

At the foot of a rundown little hill, Chen Nan and Jiang Zheng stared at each other.

Amidst the surrounding majestic and beautiful mountains, this little hill stood out conspicuously.

Chen Nan's eyelid twitched, pointing at the hill with a face full of grief and anger: "Don't tell me this is the Qingshan Sect!"

What happened to the promised thousand-year heritage?

What happened to being only a notch below the Yuantian Sect?

This can't even compare to the Miscellaneous Peak of the Yuantian Sect!

At this moment.

A feeling of being deceived spontaneously arose, Chen Nan clenched his fist, wanting to explode in anger.

This kind of sect definitely provides resources for disciples far inferior to the Yuantian Sect, wouldn't the cultivation time be indirectly prolonged?

"Old man, can you tell me which of what you've said is true?" He stared directly into Jiang Zheng's eyes, angrily twitching his mouth incessantly.

Tang Zhirou beside him was laughing so hard she was about to pass out.

So satisfying, she knew Chen Nan would have this kind of reaction.

Being a genius, yet still getting fooled by this old geezer?

Seeing the disciple about to explode in anger, Jiang Zheng quickly said: "The thousand-year heritage is true, our Qingshan Sect does indeed have a thousand-year legacy."

"All the mountains and rivers you see before you, a thousand years ago, were the domain of Qingshan Sect, only because later we declined, it gradually got occupied by other sects."

"And that fifth-grade Pill Furnace is?" Chen Nan asked again.

Jiang Zheng seemed a bit forthright as well, after all, the sect was in this state, being able to trick one back is a victory.

"That is the sect's best item, left by the founder, passed on to you."

Chen Nan rubbed his forehead, resisting the urge to explode, how he got deceived by a mere fifth-grade Pill Furnace.

"By the way, let's talk after we go up the mountain, from the outside Qingshan Sect indeed looks rundown, but it's different on the mountain." Jiang Zheng hurriedly said, afraid Chen Nan would run away.

Perhaps there indeed is thousand-year heritage, just that the sect is being low-key? ReadaheadandgetupdatesatMVLEMPYR.

Chen Nan still harbored such fantasies in his heart, following Jiang Zheng into the Qingshan Sect.

The three of them climbed the steps to the mountain gate of Qingshan Sect, and it turned out to be a dilapidated straw hut.

The plaque at the entrance of the yard bore the words "Qingshan Sect," looking as though it was on the brink of decay.

After they arrived, the plaque that had presumably hung there for years finally couldn't bear it any longer and crashed to the ground, splitting apart.

Once again feeling deceived, Chen Nan couldn't hold back, roaring at Jiang Zheng: "Tell me, what is different up the mountain?"

Jiang Zheng threw up his hands frankly and said with a laugh: "It's definitely different, because it looks even more rundown from outside."

"Disciple, our Qingshan Sect is poor, almost starving."

"You're crying poor to me? Does that mean the cultivation resources you promised earlier are fake too?" Chen Nan laughed bitterly in anger.

"Of course they're not fake, it's just that I said I'd give you the best cultivation resources in Qingshan Sect, but our Qingshan Sect simply doesn't have any cultivation resources, can't call it deception."

Jiang Zheng waved his hand, still looking righteous and justified.

Chen Nan immediately turned and walked down the mountain: "Not playing, I'm quitting the sect right now!"

Unexpectedly, after entering the small world, he encountered a scam; he only blamed himself for knowing too little about the small world.

Who knew Jiang Zheng wasn't worried this time, instead he looked at Chen Nan with some pride: "Don't waste your energy, I already activated the Sect Protection Array when we returned, there's still a bit of thousand-year heritage."

"The Sect Protection Array can withstand a strike from a Golden Core Early Stage expert, you as a Third Layer Foundation Establishment won't be able to break it."

Chen Nan suddenly turned his head, his gaze as if to kill.

"Can't deceive, resorting to outright robbery then? How long can you keep me here?"

Only then did Jiang Zheng chuckle, running to Chen Nan's side, speaking kindly: "Disciple, I know you feel bad being deceived, but I've already planned for you on the way."

"You have outstanding alchemy talent, we can completely create elixir pills, sell the surplus to exchange for more cultivation resources, your cultivation resources can gradually catch up."

"So the entire sect relies on me alone to feed?" Chen Nan pointed at himself, looking incredulous, "How did Qingshan Sect pass down till now?"

Jiang Zheng stroked his beard, gazing into the distance, speaking deeply: "Our Qingshan Sect's worldly living skill kept it alive till now."

"What worldly living skill?" Chen Nan subconsciously asked.

Jiang Zheng appeared serious: "Three words... shamelessness!"

Tang Zhirou beside them listened to the master-disciple dialogue and burst out laughing.

"This cracks me up, he tricked me the same way back then."

"I'll beat you, you old fraud!"

Chen Nan couldn't hold back anymore, throwing a punch at Jiang Zheng, True Qi roaring, a booming sound echoed through the air.

But the next moment, the sound abruptly stopped.

Jiang Zheng caught Chen Nan's fist with outstretched hand, his body unmoving, even suppressing the True Qi instantly, showing a bit of a master demeanor.

In surprise, Chen Nan wondered if Jiang Zheng was actually a hidden master?

"What cultivation level are you?"

"Peak of Foundation Establishment!" Jiang Zheng said proudly.

"Go to hell!"

Chen Nan suddenly exerted force, his fist ultimately landed on Jiang Zheng's eye, what's there to be proud of at Peak of Foundation Establishment?

Even the Sect Leader is at this level, it speaks volumes about Qingshan Sect's overall strength.

But he's crossed a Nascent Soul elder who could wipe out Qingshan Sect eight times in one breath.

Instantly, everything seemed bleak in prospect.

After calming down for a long while, Chen Nan finally steadied his heart.

Anyway, he needed a peaceful place to cultivate, Qingshan Sect wasn't bad.

Crucially, other sects wouldn't offend a Nascent Soul elder for a mere Foundation Establishment cultivator like him.

Moreover, while Qingshan Sect is rundown, its nature's spiritual energy is abundant, probably due to its central location relative to other sects catching some providence.

"I can agree to your plans, but all sect affairs must listen to me."

Jiang Zheng covering his eye, whimpered, upon hearing this, his eye instantly didn't hurt anymore, he immediately agreed: "Of course, once your cultivation surpasses mine, I can even pass the Sect Leader position to you!"

"Forget the Sect Leader position for now, let me first meet the other disciples of Qingshan Sect." Chen Nan stepped into the yard first.

The yard had more than a dozen straw huts, as rundown as the entire sect, worse than any mortal village.

Jiang Zheng came to the center of the yard and shouted loudly.

"Little brats, all come out for your Sect Leader!"

After a brief silence, a rush of clucking and barking ensued, and some dozen disciples burst out of straw huts.

The cultivation levels of these disciples floated between First Layer and Third Layer Foundation Establishment, seeing the Sect Leader like seeing their father, all rushed over.

Everyone extended a hand eagerly, faces full of anticipation.

"Sect Leader, where are the cultivation resources you brought this time?"
