Chapter 809: Don't fight with people when you're still sleepy Chapter 26: You did it on purpose, didn't you? I'm going to impeach you!

  "That's all the information we have about Kong Ling Gen. Sorry, but there isn't any more detailed data here, and I believe nowhere else would have it either, after all, it's a legend that hasn't been seen in thousands of years."

  After explaining the details of Kong Linggen, the girl fell silent and quietly waited for the audience to digest.

  "Oh, right. Ninth Uncle just added that we can also consider making you the mascot of the Lingjian Sect. After all, you're the spiritual root of an ancient immortal emperor, so at least in terms of aura, you can suppress the Shengjing Xianmen."

  After finishing speaking, even with the girl's naturalness, she felt that Jiu Shu's suggestion was very unwise. Just as she was about to say something, she heard Wang Lu slap his palm loudly.

  "Alright, it's settled then!"

  "Huh?!"

  "Mascot forever! Ling Jian Pai, I'm here!"

  Wang Lu was indeed the record-breaking cultivator in Yunbo Tu, his change of stance was so fast that it was almost daring to scare that bright and beautiful young girl into illness.

  "How can you be like this!?"

  The girl was completely confused, Wang Lu's reaction was totally different from what Master said! How to break it! Master said he might be furious, or heartbroken, or hysterical, or argue with reason and strength, but never said he would be excited and enthusiastic as a mascot!

  Even Hai Yunfan felt his jaw dislocated, and he endured the pain to close his mouth with a slap. Deep down, however, he couldn't help but go crazy: "What about the divorce agreement? What about starting anew?! Wang Lu, your image in my mind has collapsed way too quickly!"

  At this time, the elders in the hall also became somewhat restless. A young woman's voice came out with a hint of panic: "Sir, I was just joking earlier, don't take it so seriously."

  Wang Lu laughed and asked: "Does your sect's mascot come with food and lodging?"

  "Baggage, board and lodging......?"

  "Is there a quota? Is there a commission? Is there paid annual leave?"

  The woman in the hall was unaware of the severity and was tongue-tied.

  Then Wang Lu said, "Your sect has already spoken out and asked me to be the mascot. You won't go back on your word now, will you? The five major sects are renowned for their integrity. If they were to be ridiculed as being untrustworthy, going back on their words, lacking in honor and shame, and not even as good as a heretical cult, that would be truly regrettable."

  The girl in front of the temple seemed to be frightened and opened her eyes wide with great tension, turning back to say: "Ninth Master Uncle, going back on one's word doesn't seem quite right."

  "You idiot, which group are you from?!"

  Then the girl hugged her head and shouted "pain pain pain......", was forcibly pulled back into the hall, and fell silent.

  A prolonged silence... The elders of the Mystic Cloud Hall also began to feel embarrassed about the current situation. As a righteous and ancient sect, the importance that the Spirit Sword Sect attaches to reputation and integrity is something that other sects in the cultivation world cannot understand. However, the matter of the auspicious beast was too childish; they couldn't just pretend it didn't happen...

  After a long time, another voice came from the hall, also a female voice, but more mature than the previous one, with a hint of playfulness and disrespect.

  "Is it interesting? Do you want to be the mascot of Ling Jian Sect?"

  Wang Lu smiled and said: "I want to be the leader, you guys have to yield too."

  "That's absolutely not allowed, because I also want to... Hehe, although I don't know why these idiots put you on the blacklist, but being a mascot is not bad either. Our Lingjian Sect is a top-level sect, and the benefits of being a sect mascot are countless. Even if you can't cultivate, just carrying the Lingjian Sect's signboard, you can bully men and women and do whatever you want with impunity! Don't mention that Piggy Prince or whatever, he absolutely wouldn't dare to touch you. From now on, even if you go to the brothel, you won't have to pay a single cent!... Ugh, what are you few doing blocking me? I'm telling the truth, it's really free!"

  The hall soon echoed with another round of fighting sounds, and the woman coughed: "In short, the benefits of being a mascot are countless, and the treatment is better than that of an ordinary inner disciple. But you have neither cultivation nor good looks, and you can't repay the sect at all. Choosing you as a mascot is purely a waste of the sect's resources, with no benefits at all."

  Hearing this, Wang Lu finally couldn't help but laugh.

  It wasn't ridicule or extreme anger that made him laugh, but the woman speaking in the house gave him an inexplicable feeling... how to say it, it was as if he heard himself talking, although those words sounded like mere jokes, Wang Lu easily heard the true intention behind the woman's words.

  She was reminding herself of something very important.

  But what's the need for reminders? As a professional adventurer, Wang Lu naturally knew that he still held in his hand a trump card capable of turning the world upside down.

  "Oh, I get it! To be a mascot, you need to pay the franchise fee, right? The Lingjian Sect is a Xianmen sect, and worldly gold and silver are meaningless. You must use the money from the mountain, right? Just so happens I have some here, I'll give you 50 cents!"

  Wang Lu let out a cold laugh and took something from his bosom, with a clinking sound it flew into the air and shot towards the Xuan Cloud Hall enveloped in white light.

  As soon as this thing appeared, the hall was in great chaos.

  "My god, what is this thing?!"

  "How did he end up with this thing!?"

  "Could it be that you're actually Xiangyun Guqian! Is this another one of your illegitimate children, Master Brother?!"

  Nine elderly men were all agape at this moment, staring fixedly at a copper coin that had flown into the hall.

  Ancient Cloud Money!

  Copper coins are just ordinary copper coins, neither refined by masters nor containing any valuable treasures, but they move people more than any treasure.

  "This is actually an ancient coin of Xiāo Yún... Legend has it that the ancestor of the Ling Jian Sect, Xiāo Yún True Man, left behind a few strands of fate in the mortal world. He gave out several copper coins to those who had great kindness towards him, and whoever holds the copper coin can make any request."

  This kind of story is not uncommon in the Xianxia world, and many sects have similar artifacts circulating outside. Now that several thousand years have passed, the genuine Xuan Yun ancient coins have long since disappeared into the river of history, it's impossible for them to be preserved until today. This Xuan Yun ancient coin is a replica made by later generations to commemorate their ancestors.

  However, the effect is the same. With the ancient coin in hand, one can make any request to the Lingjian Sect, with the reputation of Fengyin Zhenren as guarantee. So far, although no one has ever used it, relying on Fengyin Zhenren's reputation, no one will doubt its effectiveness.

  Holding this ancient cloud coin, it's not to mention that the Lingjian Sect would make it a mascot, even if the elder of the Tiandao Hall wanted to make it a mascot, it would be theoretically feasible. Of course, if someone really made such an unreasonable request, the sect leader would have no choice but to refuse with a straight face - unless the one chosen as the mascot was the original fifth elder, in which case the sect leader would certainly agree with pleasure.

  The key issue now is not how effective this ancient coin is, but why it ended up in Wang Lu's hands. The existing Xiangyun ancient coins should only be one, which is in the hands of a person who is exceptionally close to the sect leader, apart from that...

  "Eldest Martial Brother, is this your illegitimate child?"

  The master was also puzzled, that ancient coin he certainly remembered, it was three years ago that he personally handed it over to someone, but how did it end up in his hands? Can't figure it out!

  But it's okay if you can't figure it out, for this kind of thing, as long as you ask someone, there will definitely be an answer.

  Thinking of this, the sect leader pulled over a former elder who was watching the excitement at the door and flashed to the top of Xingchen Peak.

  "What's going on here?"

  The former elder who was suddenly caught as a strong candidate, also the fifth master sister, was also confused: "What's going on!?"

  "Is it that Wang Lu? How did he get Xiaoling's ancient coins?"

  The Fifth Young Miss sneered: "Of course it was given by Little Ling'er, otherwise who else could have snatched it?"

  "Xiao Ling gave it!? This... how could she possibly do this?" The sect leader was clearly incredulous, "Even if she hated me, it wouldn't be to the point of..."

  The Fifth Young Sister continued to sneer: "Do you still remember the bet you made with Little Ling'er before the Ascension Conference? If she could earn 5 million taels before the start of the Ascension Conference, you would not interfere with her running an inn in Lingxi Town. If not, then go live on the mountain... and as for the result of the bet, I won't say more. ...And Little Ling'er was able to win the bet because of that young man's help, so she is extremely fond of him and can't wait to meet him on the mountain. Moreover, you also know that she dislikes you, so what does a single ancient coin matter?"

  "This..." The sect leader was suddenly at a loss for words. After a while, he asked again, "And what about you? Are you just going to stand by and watch that little brat...?"

  The result was that the fifth sister got angry before she finished speaking: "Isn't it because of your old stupid meddling? I risked my face to get the ancient coins back in Taoyuan Village, but you not only stopped me, but also deducted my salary, right?"

  "… Alas, who would have thought that you would actually do something serious, and what you said sounds good, but in fact it's just to cheat Xiao Ling'er out of her ancient coins for your own use."

  "Damn it, don't pretend to understand me like that... No, you're the one who did something wrong and now you're shirking responsibility!"

  This thing was indeed done poorly by the leader, and he didn't dare to argue strongly anymore, so he had to change the subject: "Speaking of which, this Wang Lu is really formidable, compared to him, that Wang Zhong doesn't have the demeanor of a destined child at all."

  It was originally just a casual conversation used to change the subject, but unexpectedly, after finishing speaking, Fifth Martial Sister stared at him with an extremely terrifying gaze.

  Even with his cultivation as a True Person of Wind Whispering and God Transformation, he was stared at until he felt uneasy: "Eh, what's wrong?"

  "Who... told you that Wang Zhong is the son of heaven?"

  "Huh? Didn't you say so?"

  "Bullshit! When did I ever say Wang Zhong was the Chosen One? Just look at him, can't you tell it's impossible?! What kind of tragic fate would make him the Chosen One?! I said why are you staring at him like an idiot for so long, turns out you think Wang Zhong is the Chosen One too!"

  The sect leader also became anxious: "Don't joke around, you said you would design a barrier in Lingxi Town that only the true chosen one can break through, and then..."

  Then the Fifth Sister became even more impatient: "Right, and then wasn't it cracked by that stupid bastard?"

  "Zhang Men widened his eyes: "Huh? Didn't Wang Zhong break through the level?"

  Fifth Sister slapped her hand on the table and stood up: "You're bullshitting, Wang Zhong! Which dimension did you come from? Tell me, where is the real master?"

  This time, the master calmed down and hurriedly re-examined his memories, quickly discovering the problem.

  "It's embarrassing to say, but I didn't actually see it with my own eyes, I just took a glance through the door... I also found it strange that the legendary figure only had a third-grade spiritual root... At the time, the power of the stars was being diverted for other uses, and there wasn't enough time to open the Great Spiritual Eye, so I didn't discover that Wang Lu had an empty spiritual root, and thought he was just an ordinary person, so I mistakenly thought it was Wang Zhong..."

  "You stupid idiot, you clearly know that you're a cultivator who's practiced to the point of being unable to tell tea from years apart, and yet you still dare to go out without your glasses, and on top of that, you don't even open your spiritual eyes! You must be doing this on purpose, right?! I'm going to impeach you! And then impeach the next sect leader until it's my turn in sequence!"

  “……”
