Chapter 148 Chapter 148
"A minor matter, Young Master Clark.
It just so happens also that supplies from the sect just arrived. Elder Tan Hai has really worked wonders in ensuring that you get your allotted resources in a timely manner.
If you see him again, you should know what you should do. There are 1 million spirit stones inside and it would be enough for you to reach the 9th Stage of Mortal Shedding Realm."
Elder Chang Tu reminded and passed on a storage ring towards our bored gamer's way.
He realized that with how low the stock of spirit stones in the sect was because of the Sect Master's monopoly, getting this much was already very surprising.
"I know, Elder Chang Tu. The care and expectations of Elder Tan Hai won't be wasted on me. In fact, you just need to stand here and I will let my actions speak for myself."
Clark grinned widely as he palmed the interspatial ring on his hands.
"A big headed braggart. A crow mouth like you really doesn't know how to change his skin, Lu Chen. You're still the same lying fool that I knew so well in the past!"
There was of course one soul in the scene that was ever toxic towards our good gamer.
Though she was already defeated but that did not mean at all that she would just shut up and stand there in impotent disgrace.
Since Tang Xinyue still had breath left in her, she would speak her mind and no one could tell her otherwise.
"Hehehe. Much has changed from that time already, Xinyue. Why don't I take this opportunity to let you see fully how much I have changed from the person you know 80 years ago."
Instead of getting angry, our boy protagonist has laughed the insult off and motioned for his audience to make way.
The latter obliged and a breath later, he sat on a lotus position at the same spot where he stood last.
"What are you doing, Young Master Clark? If you want to cultivate, there are other many suitable places in the sect. I could take you in one myself. It's just nearby.
Please come with me." Elder Chang Tu had an awkward smile on his face and was in the process of turning around to lead our bored gamer away from making a fool of himself in here.
Cultivation was not that easy. It was almost always a messy and a stinky process.
"There is no need for that, Elder Chang Tu. I'm a man and a true man never goes back on his words!"
Clark announced to the world and before the Demonic Sword Sect's Outer Disciple Court Master could utter another word of reply, our bored gamer had already closed his eyes and began taking the initial steps of proper cultivation.
He steadied his breathing and thought of nothing of the world but only of his own inner consciousness.
When he had achieved that familiar sense of being one with nature, our bored gamer then scooped up a fistful of spirit stones from the storage ring on his hands.
After that, he did the unexpected!
"Young Master Clark!" It was Elder Chang Tu who called and he even rushed to stop what our bored gamer was about to do.
Alas, he was too slow to stop it and it was just too little too late for him to do otherwise. Not for the lack of trying though.
The old man wanted to shake Young Master Clark in order to force those spirit stones out and away from his mouth.
Our bored gamer had no choice but to take his spot on the limelight. A cheeky smile hung on his face while he addressed the combined shock of the people around him.
"I know. I know. I'm really awesome. No need to look at me like I'm some kind of monster or something.
I have already known from the moment i was born that i would be the greatest cultivator to ever live. I should call myself the number one under the heavens already!"
Clark grinned even further as he got no retort from anyone else around him.
Even Tang Xinyue, the one who has hated his guts from the moment they had first seen each other today, could not find her tongue right now.
Everyone just stood there with a dumbstruck expression on their faces.
'Even I could not cultivate that fast and that easy in my lifetime.' Flower Goddess Ze Min thought inside.
Silence reigned for a couple of seconds until another voice made itself known on the gathered souls around our bored gamer.
"Clark, how could you remain so fresh after cultivating? And you even had your breakthrough."
Wan Fei asked in a soft voice as her senses tried to sniff the air for any foul odor that came from our protagonist's way. Unfortunately, the Queen of Haran did not catch any bad smell at all!
'Ohhh... Yes, I forgot that.' Clark remembered how much he reeked after cultivating before. This was the result of his body expelling bad elements from his flesh and bones.
"I'm just built differently, Wan Fei. The heavens love me so much that even the negative effect of cultivating doesn't apply to me at all."
Clark offered a lame excuse and sported the usual stupid grin on his face.
"Okay then, let's continue." Our bored gamer hastily said in order to escape from this uncomfortable situation. And that was what he did.
Clark took several handfuls of spirit stones and began eating them like cheap candies.
His audience just stood there with an almost uniform dumb looks on their faces as their brains failed to fathom what was presently happening before their eyes.
Our good gamer repeated these actions for 15 times until he finally got tired from the monotonous act.
"This is taking me so long." Clark muttered and everyone heard him, loud and clear.
"Let us take a shortcut, shall we?" Our bored gamer smiled and took a piece of metal in his hands.
He looked at the treasure with fond eyes before putting it inside his mouth and swallowed without ado. One ring and all the thousands of spirit stones within!
"BANG!"
"BANG!"
"BANG!"

..
...
After that, a series of detonations could be heard in the entirety of the Outer Disciples Court.
