NOVEL NEXT Chapter 302: Insulted by Words_2
He hadn't visited the Eastern Domain Three Judicial Departments in a long time.
It was about time to show his face.
...
"It's really comfortable!"
Wang Man stretched lazily, reclining casually in his chair.
After the last raid by the Three Judicial Departments, the Molan Mansion had become even more tranquil.
Even incidents of theft were rare.
"How far are you from Immortal Grade?"
Yuan Dao Yi, beside him, had a somewhat complex expression, but his eyes were mostly filled with envy.
With so many elixirs obtained, his cultivation had soared.
From a mere entry-level existence, among their group of five, he had now leapt to become a Nine Layers of Purity expert.
A few days ago, he even let slip that he was nearing Immortal Grade.
To be honest, this was a heavy blow to Yuan Dao Yi's heart.
After all, he was still at the Eight Layers of Purity, and although he had made some progress, reaching Nine Layers of Purity would take at least one or two more months, let alone Immortal Grade, which was still far away.
Among the five of them, Wang Man was undoubtedly the strongest now.
"Immortal Grade, huh?"
Wang Man immediately sat upright, the laziness disappearing instantly, his eyes becoming exceptionally excited.
That was Immortal Grade!
"Wang Man, you really hit the jackpot."
Gou Court's words carried a slight disdain.
But Wang Man wasn't the least bit offended. He remarked nonchalantly, "Doesn't matter what luck, as long as it works."
"As long as I can become Immortal Grade, nothing else matters."
The first sentence was directed at Gou Court.
Now, the two of them were no longer at the same level.
He believed this gap would only grow larger.
The second sentence was directed at himself, Immortal Grade...what comes next?
He was no longer the cautious Wang Man of the past.
But...
"Sir...why are you here?"
At this moment, Chen Xuan's figure appeared at the doorway, just as he was deep in thought about what lay beyond the Immortal Grade.
Swish!
His expression changed abruptly; he put on a smile and jogged over, "Sir, is there something you need to instruct?"
"No, just haven't been here for a while, came to take a look!"
"Greetings, sir!"
The other four quickly saluted upon seeing this.
Chen Xuan waved his hand at them, while Wang Man stood just a step behind him.
"Just continue as usual, I just came for a look."
"Yes, sir!"
Together, Wang Man and the others responded in unison.
Chen Xuan's gaze fell on Wang Man, nodding with satisfaction,
"Not bad, Nine Layers of Purity."
"Hehe, that's all thanks to you, sir! Without your generosity, I'd never have had this opportunity!"
"Alright, enough of the flattery!"
"Yes, yes, hehe!"
He followed along to the staircase, then watched as Chen Xuan made his way to the third floor.
Yuan Dao Yi furrowed his brows, looking with disdain at Wang Man, behaving like a subordinate.
Even if Chen Xuan was of higher rank, their superior, he needn't grovel like a dog.
After all, he was a Nine Layers of Purity Martial Artist.
It was too disgraceful.
Not only him, but Gou Court and Yin Ning shared the same opinion, except for Niu Qiang.
Because only he understood that with no background, treading carefully everywhere, now having met this single opportunity, Wang Man wouldn't possibly not cherish it.
Even if Chen Xuan asked him to kneel and eat dirt, he wouldn't hesitate for a moment.
After all, to him, Chen Xuan was his heaven, his guarantee of reaching Immortal Grade.
He was just such a small person, whose actions couldn't be understood by these few.
Wang Man still wore a smile, aware of their odd expressions.
He didn't care.
Becoming Immortal Grade was more important than anything.
"Heh!"
Up on the third floor, Chen Xuan chuckled lightly.
Just now, he had noticed all of their expressions.
Wang Man was doing quite well.
Not speaking of talent, his disposition was at least better than the other four, which was indeed related to his background.
Calming his mind, he then summoned the system.
...
[Realm: Martial Cultivator: Profound Realm (Late Stage), Spirit Cultivator: Immortal Stage (Initial Stage)]
[Cultivation Technique: Nine Elements Dao Skill (Profound Grade) (Twelve Layer (16.5 million/2.04 billion)), Myriad Manifestation Skill (Thirteen Layer (30.15 million/32.64 million))]
[Skill Points: 38.128 million]
...
The Martial Cultivation was as usual, and the Spirit Cultivation would probably reach the Mid Stage in a few days.
However, after the Immortal Stage, the speed of cultivation with Luan Ying had slowed significantly.
Chen Xuan speculated that for the pace to increase again, it might require Luan Ying to reach the Profound Stage.
But the current speed was acceptable.
...
As night fell, Chen Xuan finished his cultivation and slowly stood up by the window.
Looking down.
The street below was bustling with people.
The cries of street vendors, the laughter of children, and of course...the calls from the brothels.
All sounds reached Chen Xuan's ears.
"It's really lively.."
Watching this scene, Chen Xuan's lips curved into a slight smile unconsciously.
This was the essence of worldly life.
"I don't know how long it's been since I've enjoyed a day like this."
Chen Xuan murmured to himself.
The next moment, he stepped off the window.
...
"Wow, it's so lively, husband!"
Chen Xuan had already returned to his original appearance.
Ning Xin and Luan Ying walked hand in hand, curiously looking at the trinkets for sale on both sides of the street.
"Husband, look?"
Luan Ying held a sugar figure in her hand, a lifelike palace-dressed girl dancing gracefully.
"Buy it!"
Chen Xuan waved his hand grandly, leaving behind a silver ingot.
"Oh..."
As the silver appeared, the vendor quickly clutched it, smiling broadly, "Master, that's more than enough, it could buy every sugar figure on this stall!"
