Chapter 006: Cheap Food, Priceless Loyalty

  "Qin Zhangmen, it's time to eat. Shall I bring the food to your room or will you have it here?"

  Not long after Qin Chuan finished his cultivation, Wang Shu walked over and asked in a low voice.

  Although Wang Shu was much older than Qin Chuan, she looked at the young new leader with reverence in her eyes.

  Yesterday, she followed Qin Chuan's instructions and sent the silver money to Chen Bo. When she returned to the main peak, she immediately discovered that the door had changed its old appearance for a new one. At that time, she simply didn't dare believe her eyes and thought she had walked into the wrong place.

  After confirming that she was not hallucinating, Aunt Wang hurried down the mountain again and found Uncle Chen to tell him about the miraculous change on the main peak.

  Chen Bo naturally didn't dare to believe it, and together with Wang Shu and Heng Er, they climbed up to the main peak. It turned out that after the meeting was over this morning, the gate of the sect still looked dilapidated, but now, just a few hours later, everything had changed into brand new and magnificent buildings!

  Everyone did not dare to go and ask the master, went to find Chen Hao. Only then did they learn from Chen Hao's mouth that everything was done by the new master Qin Chuan.

  Looking at the brand new sect's atmosphere, everyone felt both unbelievable and extremely excited. Their reverence for Qin Chuan naturally deepened another level.

  "Aunt Wang, I'm not hungry now, so I won't eat," Qin Chuan said to Aunt Wang.

  "Impossible! You didn't eat all day yesterday, I saw you were meditating and didn't dare disturb you. If you don't eat today, your body will be ruined by hunger!"

  Qin Chu knew that Wang Shu didn't understand the ways of cultivation, so he didn't explain too much to her. He just smiled and said, "Alright, I'll eat a bit then. The dishes are all here."

  Wang Aunt nodded and quickly arranged the dishes on a stone table not far away.

  Qin Chuan took a look and saw a stir-fry of greens and meat, a fish, and a large bowl of white rice. He couldn't help but say: "Aunt Wang, why is today's meal so sumptuous?"

  In memory, the Yu Hua Gate had always been financially strained and could only eat fish and meat during New Year's and holidays. This month, the former leader was injured by Song Yang and needed money for treatment, so their food became even worse. Unexpectedly, today they had both fish and meat, Qin Chuan couldn't help but feel a little surprised.

  Aunt Wang chuckled and said, "The fish was caught by Chen Bo with Heng'er in the river. This time he didn't take it out of the mountain to sell, but left it all here. There's not much meat originally. Before going down the mountain, Chen Bo specially instructed me that the gatekeeper will be very hardworking during this period, and asked me to make more sumptuous dishes."

  Qin Chuan felt a sour taste in his heart. The former head of the sect had been cultivating in seclusion, and for all these years, Chen Bo had been single-handedly managing the declining sect, it must have been very bitter and difficult.

  Now that I have become the leader of the Feather Transformation Gate, I must do my best to make the sect prosperous and powerful as soon as possible. Let these people who have chosen to follow me no longer live a hard life!

  As he walked up to the stone table, Qin Chuan was about to sit down and eat when he suddenly discovered that there was another food box beside Aunt Wang.

  It was known that this was for Chen Hao. Qin Chuan then said: "Open this food box and let me take a look."

  Wang aunt obeyed orders and opened the lunchbox, but inside there was only a bowl of rice and a few pieces of salted vegetables.

  Qin Chuan let out a soft sigh, put down his chopsticks and said to Wang Shu: "Go call Chen Hao over here, have him eat breakfast with me."

  "Yes, leader." Wang Shu led the way, quickly heading towards Chen Hao's room.

  Before long, Chen Hao's chubby figure appeared in Qin Chuan's line of sight. Qin Chuan smiled and beckoned to Chen Hao: "Junior brother, come sit down and have a meal together."

  Chen Hao looked at the fish and meat on the stone table, and couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva. However, he firmly shook his head: "Master, that's your meal, I can't eat it."

  "This meal is enough for two people. Come sit down quickly."

  Chen Hao shook his head again: "No, no, Master Shixiong, I really can't eat. Actually, I'm fine with eating pickled vegetables..."

  Qin Chuan deliberately put on a stern face: "You keep calling me 'Shixiong' (senior brother), but you don't even listen to what I say? Sit down and eat, this is an order!"

  "Yes, Senior Brother!"

  Qin Chuan put on a superior attitude and intimidated Chen Hao, who didn't dare disobey. He obediently sat down beside Qin Chuan, and the two began eating together.

  He divided the fish and meat on the stone table into two portions, pushing one portion to Chen Hao and keeping the other for himself. Qin Chuan said to Chen Hao, "Now, the sect leader orders you to eat everything up. If you dare leave any leftovers, you'll be punished with facing the wall for three days!"

  "Yes, sir! Eldest brother!" Chen Hao was originally a big eater by nature, but the sect was poor and often didn't see oil or water for one or two months. At this time, he couldn't resist the temptation anymore, and after responding with a "yes", he immediately buried his head and started eating voraciously.

  While eating, she would occasionally steal a glance at Qin Chuan, her expression both embarrassed and filled with gratitude.

  Qin Chu looked at Chen Hao, occasionally revealing a smile.

  Although he invited Chen Hao to dinner, it wasn't intentional to buy people's hearts, but he knew that this cheap meal would bring him more of Chen Hao's invaluable loyalty.

  After dinner, Qin Chuan took out the "Five Forms Return to Truth" from his ring and handed it to Chen Hao: "Junior brother, I have a new cultivation method here. Take it back and study it carefully, and copy a copy. From now on, you don't need to cultivate the "Feather Transformation Ascension Method", just focus on cultivating this "Five Forms Return to Truth".

  "What, a new cultivation method?" Chen Hao's expression suddenly became excited. He carefully held the secret book in his hands and said disbelievingly: "Elder brother, I once heard the previous sect leader mention that everyone suspected that the fourth generation sect leader had written down an incorrect secret book, which led to slow progress in their cultivation. But for many generations, the sect leaders have tried their best but couldn't come up with a new cultivation method, and could only continue practicing according to the 'Feather Transformation Ascension Technique'. I didn't expect that you would obtain a new cultivation method just one day after taking over as sect leader!"

  "Brother, this is just the beginning. You made a wise decision by following me. I promise you will have a brand new future!"

  "Master, I, Chen Hao, will follow you with unwavering loyalty for the rest of my life, without any second thoughts!" Chen Hao became more and more agitated as he spoke, and suddenly knelt down at Qin Chuan's feet with a thud.

  Qin Chuan hastily reached out to pull up Chen Hao: "Between you and me, there's no need for such formalities. Alright, eat your fill, drink your fill, and focus on cultivating from now on. Don't forget that the crisis of our Yuanyi Sect has not been lifted yet, the stronger your abilities are, the more you can contribute to the sect!"

  "Master, I will definitely do my best!" Chen Hao bowed respectfully and retreated.

  Qin Chuan urged Chen Hao to work hard and cultivate, and he himself was not idle. He also found a secluded place on the mountain and focused on cultivating.

  Although for a sect leader, the most important qualities are leadership and vision, Qin Chuan believed he was not lacking in these aspects. However, in terms of cultivation, he also had to set an example.

  After all, as the sect leader, the highest existence in the sect, if one's strength is still inferior to that of their own disciples, it would indeed be damaging to their dignity.

  In addition, Song Yang, a loose cultivator of the Men's Gate sect who intended to rob him by force, was also a huge hidden danger. This also made Qin Chuan unable to relax.

  This time, Qin Chuan practiced for another day, stopping only at dusk.

  As soon as he stood up, Qin Chuan felt someone walking towards him. He thought it was Wang Shu coming to deliver food again, but when he turned around, it was Heng Er instead.

  Heng Er quickly walked up to Qin Chuan and saluted respectfully: "Greetings, Master."

  Qin Chuan nodded and asked: "Heng Er, has Chen Bo bought things back?"

  "Yes, Master. Chen Bo sent me to report to you that all the items have been purchased and delivered."

  "Alright, send the things to Aunt Wang and have her handle them according to the usual ancestral worship specifications. Then go inform Chen Hao to change into a clean set of clothes and wait for me in the main hall. Later, follow me to pay respects to our ancestors at the Yu Huang Men."

  Qin Chuan instructed Heng Er and then returned to his own residence, packed up the necessary items, and according to the requirements of the "ancestral worship" task, came to a clean pool on the main peak to bathe and purify himself.
