Chapter 58. Trauma Victim’s Gathering

Chapter 58. Trauma Victim’s Gathering

After Elder Gu left the Miscellaneous Hall's Mission Distribution Office in panic. I focused my attention into the [Scan] attached to him. Although I can't see who he is talking to because of the interference from the mental power they released, it is still possible to overhear the conversation.

This makes me a bit confused.

Instead of being greedy, I hear the people around Elder Gu panicked instead. From their conversation, it seems they are incredibly afraid of people with massive luck.

When I saw them using their Heavenly Sight Mirror, I was incredibly shocked. Cultivators actually have something like satellite imagery!

Not long after, due to some unknown reason, my [Scan] can't detect the Heavenly Sight Mirror anymore and only received a blur, just like when I tried to [Scan] an elder level cultivator.

After thinking about it, I decided to show this scene to Ren Qingquan who is busy running away upon hearing my previous warning.

[Host, System thinks you don't need to run away anymore. Try to look at the subsystem attached to elder Gu, instead.]

'Okay.' Ren Qingquan stopped at a huge tree before he sat below it. Closing his eyes, he activated the observation mode. Meanwhile, I sent the data gathered through Elder Gu's [Scan] and processed them into comprehensible information before sending them to Ren Qingquan.

Seeing the blurry scene from [Scan], Ren Qingquan felt annoyed and asked me. 'System, can you upgrade [Scan] so they can show those people?'

When Ren Qingquan said the word I have been waiting for, I immediately calculated the cost required to allow [Scan] to detect them.

[Ding! If the host wants to see those people, you will need to spend 10.000 points and upgrade the stability of 'Scan'. Do you wish to purchase the upgrade?]

'Yes, yes. Quickly upgrade it. Also, increase Elder Gu's subsystem to Lv 3 by adding [Devour] and [Create].'

And so, I immediately took 10.110 points from him. Throwing 10.000 points to upgrade [Scan]'s stability, I send the other 110 points to upgrade Elder Gu's subsystem.

[Ding! You have spent 10.110 points.]

With this upgrade, my panel finally has a slight change.

(¬_¬)

[Host, please get serious. You are basically surrounded by strategic missile level experts that may explode anytime. From now on, if they try to make a move, System will automatically initiate an emergency escape procedure.]

After hearing my warning, Ren Qingquan finally stopped thinking randomly and looked at the surrounding people.

The fifty something elders all have a solemn face. Meanwhile, the eight people standing nearby, including the Sect Master wore the kindest smile they can use on their face.

Seeing Ren Qingquan just staring blankly, I rolled my eyes.

[Emergency quest: Survive!

Detail: please act as cute as possible. Otherwise those people with a kind smile might suddenly try to kill you off!

Reward: Up to 10.000 points depending on the result of this meeting.

Punishment: 1 hour electric attack.

Note: Yes, one hour! So, host. Please understand your current situation.]

When Ren Qingquan read it, he realized the danger he was in at last. Especially when he read the punishment, I can hear his heart thumping.

Cupping his hand while bowing toward those elders and other higher-ups of Pure Wave Sect, he greeted them. "Disciple Ren Qingquan greets seniors."

I saw the Sect Master's smile widened with this. I guess Ren Qingquan passed the first test?

Thanks to [Scan] that has been strengthened I can overhear the conversation those eight have using their super strong mental power.

The fat man's mental power fluctuated as he spoke. "Well, at least he is willing to greet us and is not too unruly."

It is followed by The beautiful woman with runic dress's mental power fluctuation as she replied. "Indeed. Coupled with his slightly silly face at the beginning, I think he is not the kind of person that will try some weird scheme and conspiracy."

I can't believe it, Ren Qingquan's dazed look actually got him a brownie point from this woman!

"Alright, stop dilly dallying, that boy is waiting for our response." Sect Master finally concluded their talk. Then, he cut off their group chat like a mental power connection.

Although the whole conversation sounded long, it actually only lasted less than a second. Never mind, I just wanna say that cliche xianxia line. Actually, the whole conversation lasted almost ten seconds. Similar to the speed of a normal person talking.

Ren Qingquan that had been left to dry while bowing finally received a response from the Sect Master as he loudly laughed. "Haha! What a polite young man! Raise your head. Do you know why we called you to the sect's main hall?"

'Of course it's because of that old tattletale! 'I heard Ren Qingquan's thoughts as he looked at Elder Gu. Luckily, his brain works correctly after seeing that 1 hour electricity punishment, as the word that comes out of his mouth is a normal answer. "Disciple thinks it is related to my cultivation."

"Indeed." Sect Master nodded his head, "Your quick increase in cultivation has pulled our attention. Even with a five spirit roots talent, you successfully reached the Golden Core stage within less than a month. A feat unattainable even by genius with pure spirit root without any fortuitous encounter."

When I heard him talking at this point, I already prepared myself to teleport Ren Qingquan far away.

Sect Master then continued, "The ability to do such a heaven defying feat means you are someone with extremely good luck and has met an amazing fortuitous encounter."

As if realizing what he is saying, I see Sect Master rapidly shake his head. "Wait, don't misunderstand. We aren't interested in your encounter. What I mean is, I want your heaven defying tale to spread throughout the sect and increase the passion of the younger generation. After all, knowing even someone with five spirit roots also has hope of reaching the Golden Core stage will push the junior disciple's will and passion to cultivate."

Hearing all that, Ren Qingquan had a confused look on his face. This time, I am even a bit confused. What is the Sect Master trying to say?

With a delayed speech that tries to give a suspenseful feeling, Sect Master said. "So... As the Sect Master of the Pure Wave Sect, I grant you the position of the Sect's Senior Brother! I hope you will be the role model of every disciple in our sect."

System: ???

Ren Qingquan: ???

Announcement

The historical sect changing event in the Pure Wave Sect are separated into 2 which are a common xianxia plot:

Spoiler

Child of luck 1:

A harem type protagonist bringing his harem to ascend to immortal world, which include the female Immortal Ascension stage expert from Pure Wave Sect. This caused a lack of Immortal ascension stage cultivator in the sect and push Pure Wave Sect from the seat of Top Sect. Because the top force in cultivation world need an Immortal Ascension stage cultivator.

Child of Luck 2:

An elder's disciple's minion offended a protagonist like person. They went one by one from weak to strong to avenge their subordinate/ disciple and turn into that protagonist's stepping stone. That guy get angry later on and attacked Pure Wave Sect. Which killed all Tribulation Transcending cultivator and pushed the sect into their current state.

[collapse]

NB: yes, there is a higher realm connected to the cultivation world. No, we won't see System visiting that world anytime soon. At least until System has done several world hopping to non xianxia world.
