Chapter 679: There's No Crime in Relying on Parents
"Hey, big brother, were you also rejected?"
Suddenly, a fat man blocked Duan Gujin's way, and with a grin said to him.
"Yes, why do you ask, do you have connections?"
Duan Gujin asked curiously.
"I don't have any way to get inside either, I was also rejected! Consider me, Yan Dapang, tall and burly, as strong as a tiger, even I was rejected. Seeing you, big brother, just a bit skinny and weak, it's only natural you'd be rejected too. Big brother, let me treat you to a drink. I also wanted to enter the Liuyun Immortal Sect but got turned away! To think my lifelong reputation would be ruined here!"
Yan Dapang sighed deeply and quickly dragged Duan Gujin towards a nearby hotel.
Duan Gujin, speechless, quickly said to Yan Dapang: "We're not the same!"
In his heart, that Yan Dapang was simply an unreliable fat man, his body bloated with flab, easily weighing over 200 pounds.
Looking at the big fat man in front of him, Duan Gujin thought, where does he resemble a strong tiger?
"We are fellow sufferers, I am very familiar with the situation here. If there is anything you don't understand, just ask me. You don't know who I am, do you? Let me tell you, I am the famous Yan Dapang, the only son of the owner of Red Flower Commerce!"
Yan Dapang said earnestly.
"Red Flower Commerce? I've never heard of it!"
Duan Gujin looked at Yan Dapang, puzzled.
Yan Dapang pointed at a hotel in front and asked Duan Gujin: "What's the name of that hotel over there?"
"Red Flower Hotel!"
Duan Gujin glanced over and answered honestly.
"Let me tell you, this street is the busiest street around here. Everything on this street with the words Red Flower Hotel, Red Flower Inn, Red Flower Market, all belong to my dad's business, and as his only son, all these will be mine eventually! Haha!"
Yan Dapang laughed heartily, his face wearing a boastful expression.
Duan Gujin suddenly realized: "So you're a trust fund baby!"
"What are you talking about, it would be a sin not to enjoy my parents' wealth. Should I let my parents' hard work go to waste? No! Everyone says I'm a trust fund baby, I even wish they had more for me to live off. Don't you think?"
Yan Dapang said seriously.
Hearing this, Duan Gujin felt as if he had swallowed a dead fly, his face turning ashen as if it was the color of liver.
Listening to Yan Dapang, Duan Gujin immediately understood that this big fat man in front of him was a bona fide trust fund brat.
He had intended to leave Yan Dapang, but then he thought, Yan Dapang might know some truths after all.
He knew he had been away from the Jiuzhou Continent for a while, and many things could have happened in Jiuzhou during his absence. He felt it necessary to gather some information.
"What's your cultivation level?"
Duan Gujin's eyes flashed as he inquired.
"Martial Emperor First Level!"
Yan Dapang suddenly turned serious and let out all his Martial Soul, displaying all his strength in front of Duan Gujin.
"Oh!"
Duan Gujin smiled faintly and also released his Heavenly Dragon Martial Soul.
Seeing Duan Gujin release his Martial Saint cultivation, Yan Dapang was stupefied, his mouth agape.
He thought his eyes were deceiving him, vigorously rubbing them, then widening his eyes again, and finally confirming he had not seen wrong.
"My heavens! You're a Martial Saint!"
Yan Dapang exclaimed in terror.
"Yes! I'll go have a drink with you, and then you can tell me what you know, and we can be friends!"
Duan Gujin said this very matter-of-factly.
"Okay!"
Yan Dapang dared not slight him, knowing what it meant to be in the Martial Saint Realm.
In a tavern, after three cups of wine, Yan Dapang told Duan Gujin everything he knew.
After hearing this, Duan Gujin finally understood many things about the Liuyun Immortal Sect.
However, some of Yan Dapang's descriptions were so exaggerated that they seemed incredible to Duan Gujin.
"Fortunately, in ten days, there will be the Heaven Seizing Exam of the Heaven Stealing Immortal Sect! As long as I pass the Heaven Seizing Exam of the Heaven Stealing Immortal Sect, I can quickly become a disciple of the sect!"
Duan Gujin learned this information from Yan Dapang. Originally, he had thought about joining the Liuyun Immortal Sect, but now it seemed that the sect had developed an aversion to powerful individuals from other realms, making it unlikely for him to become a disciple of Liuyun.
The Heaven Stealing Immortal Sect was also a first-class sect on the Jiuzhou Continent, a sect that valued intense competition.
Therefore, the Heaven Stealing Immortal Sect had the highest elimination rate of all Immortal Sects.
Simultaneously, the sect also had the highest death rate.
On the Jiuzhou Continent, the Heaven Stealing Immortal Sect was also known as the Life-taking Immortal Sect.
The Liuyun Immortal Sect was suitable for disciples with high talent, while the Heaven Stealing Immortal Sect was more appropriate for those with average aptitude.
On the Jiuzhou Continent, profoundly talented disciples were rare and hard to find, with most having only average aptitude.
"Average" here is a relative concept.
Those who could enter the Heaven Stealing Immortal Sect were often one in ten thousand.
Duan Gujin thought for a while and felt he should participate in the Heaven Seizing Exam of the Heaven Stealing Immortal Sect.
If not for the theft by those from otherworldly realms, he could have joined the Liuyun Immortal Sect relatively easily.
However, since the Liuyun Sect had suffered a great loss, they would likely be wary of anything resembling a snake for a long time. He guessed that in the short term, the Liuyun Immortal Sect would unlikely recruit martial artists from other continents.
"If I want to enter the Heaven Stealing Immortal Sect, what should I do? Should I say I come from another continent?"
If possible, he wouldn't mention again that he was a martial artist from the Yuanzhen Continent.
But he can't help but say so now, as his current cultivation had already made him a genuine Martial Saint.
On the Jiuzhou Continent, a Martial Saint is not something a small sect could easily cultivate, especially not a young man who became a Martial Saint before the age of twenty.
If the disciples of the Heaven Stealing Immortal Sect asked about his cultivation, he couldn't just dishonestly answer them.
Once the higher-ups of the Heaven Stealing Immortal Sect began to suspect him, he would attract a lot of unnecessary trouble.
Taking a deep breath, he felt that during the Heavenly Seizing Exam, he still had to stick to the story of being from the Yuanzhen Continent.
Only by doing so could he avoid more unwarranted suspicion.
Besides, since the Liuyun Immortal Sect had suffered the theft of their Cultivation Secret Manuals by otherworldly powers, he believed other sects would also strengthen their defenses against martial artists from other realms.
In light of this, he might as well declare upfront that he was a martial artist from another realm.
"I'm very curious, how did you break through to Martial Emperor First Level?"
Duan Gujin suddenly became curious and wanted to know how this Yan Dapang had managed to cultivate to the Martial Emperor First Level.
He figured that Yan Dapang in front of him was not someone who practiced ascetically; he wasn't even willing to slim down his body fat.
For a martial artist, excessive body fat could seriously affect their movement technique efficiency.
