Talk About Bragging, How Do You Really Have The Qualifications Of The Great Emperor?

Chapter 1: Enjoy the Rewards~!

Spring has arrived.

All things are rejuvenating.

It is once again the season for animals to reproduce.

On the branches of rooftops,

From time to time, one can see birds overlapping and singing together, their voices resounding.

On the streets,

Butchers chopping meat, vendors shouting, martial artists performing, prostitutes soliciting customers; the sounds of people are bustling and lively.

Suddenly,

Whispers can be heard on the streets and alleys.

"Look!"

"It's him, the young Taoist from the Three Purities Immortal Gate!"

"I heard he spent at least a hundred taels of silver at the market in the eastern neighborhood yesterday!"

"Yes, yes! Master Li, who performed the amazing flying knife technique, received more than fifty taels as a reward!"

"He's a wealthy man, no! He's the God of Wealth!"

...

Countless fiery gazes follow the direction of the voices.

At the end of the street,

A young man with tied-up hair walks with an indifferent stride.

His skin is fair, his appearance extraordinary. He is dressed in a Taoist robe, with the collar and lapel embroidered with a pattern of blue clouds and white cranes.

His temperament is outstanding, his elegance surpassing the mundane.

Anyone who sees him cannot help but sigh, what a graceful and handsome young man.

More importantly,

On the chest of his Taoist robe, he wears a purple-golden emblem, engraved with the image of three towering peaks standing side by side.

This,

Is the emblem of a disciple of the Three Purities Immortal Gate.

According to the different ranks of disciples, the color of the emblem also varies.

Named disciples wear emblems of blue color, formal disciples wear silver emblems, and inner disciples wear golden emblems.

As for this purple-golden emblem,

Only the most highly regarded true disciples of the Three Purities Immortal Gate can be granted the privilege to wear it.

In other words,

This young man, who appears to be only fourteen or fifteen years old, has already been promoted to the level of a true disciple within the Three Purities Immortal Gate. His future is limitless!

"Boss!"

Wang Xiu, standing in front of the pork stall on the street, asks with a smile on his face, "Is this meat fresh?"

The butcher grins and says, "Young Taoist, just listen to what you're saying."

"How can it not be fresh?"

"It was just slaughtered this morning, the pig's blood is still warm! Haha, it's fresh!"

As soon as the butcher finishes speaking,

A clear notification sound rings in Wang Xiu's mind.

[Ding!]

[Detected someone bragging, congratulations to the host for gaining +1 mana.]

On the young man's face, a playful expression appeared: "Oh?"

"Really? I don't believe it."

The butcher's face turned red as he defended himself: "Master, I'm not bragging to you!"

"All the pigs in my house are truly free-range mountain pigs. They eat wild grass and berries, and they run around in the forest, even more agile than rabbits."

"We catch them, slaughter them, and sell them on the same day! The meat is absolutely Supreme Grade!"

[Ding!]

[Detected someone bragging, congratulations to the host for gaining +1 mana.]

Interesting!

Wang Xiu smiled brightly: "Since the meat is so excellent, I'll buy twenty catties to taste."

"I want ten catties of lean meat for making sausages, not a trace of fat!"

"Even if it's ten catties of fat, cut it into sausages, not a trace of lean meat!"

"The boss personally handles it, how about that?"

Um...

Upon hearing this bizarre request, the butcher's face instantly fell. Chopping twenty catties of sausages would probably exhaust him for the next few days.

However!

If he could please the young master and get some business from the Three Purities Immortal Gate in the future, he would be able to live a comfortable life.

"Master, rest assured!"

"I'll start cutting for you right away, and I guarantee it will be done beautifully!"

Seeing the butcher chopping the meat with a huff, Wang Xiu smiled satisfactorily and continued strolling along the street.

...

"Boss, your wooden carvings are quite good!"

"I'm not bragging to you, Master, these are all Supreme Grade sandalwood carvings, meticulously crafted by famous artisans, and blessed by Daoist experts."

"Look at this statue of Laojun, with purple aura and ethereal immortality!"

"Just like you, Master, transcendent and extraordinary. If you bring it back, you will definitely receive the protection of the Dao Ancestor, and your path to immortality will be limitless!"

[Ding!]

[Detected someone bragging, congratulations to the host for gaining +1 mana.]

"You're quite good at bragging."

"I'll take it, please wrap it up for me!"

...

"Boss, your pancakes are quite good!"

"Master, I'm not bragging to you. My Dalang pancakes have been a well-known brand for decades, universally recognized as delicious!"

"When my wife was young, she was known as the most beautiful woman in the surrounding ten miles. It was because she ate my pancakes that she fell deeply in love and remained loyal. Would you like to taste them?"

[Ding!]

[Detected someone bragging, congratulations to the host for gaining +1 mana.]

"Cough, give me one to taste."

"And also..."

"Many people have praised it, your wife is indeed amazing!"

...

"Master, doesn't it hurt when you break a stone on your chest?"

"I'm not bragging to you, Master. When I was young, I studied at the Great Vajra Temple and learned the supreme skill of Iron Cloth Shirt. Blades and spears cannot penetrate, water and fire cannot harm me. Breaking a stone on my chest is just a trivial matter!"

"Give me a few more years, and I will perfect this skill. By then, not only breaking a stone on my chest, but even shattering a stone with a golden spear will be as easy as lifting a hand!"

[Ding!]

[Detected someone bragging wildly, triggering a bragging critical hit, reaching the system's high slot. Congratulations to the host for gaining +3 mana and +3 mana quality.]

[Congratulations to the host for obtaining: "Great Mighty Heavenly Dragon Demon Subduing Golden Body" Ultimate Perfection Experience Card!]

"Well done!"

"A reward!"

Wang Xiu took out a large gold ingot, weighing over twenty taels, and stuffed it into the hands of the martial artist.

Immediately,

The eyes of the other merchants turned red.

The originally noisy atmosphere became even more heated.

...

"Sister, why are your chest muscles more developed than that master who can break stones?"

"You naughty little Taoist, I am much more interesting than those crude men. Would the young master like to experience it?"

"Oh? Does sister excel at bragging?"

"It's not me boasting, but the girls in our Warm Fragrance Pavilion are all talented and skilled in various arts."

"As proof in poetry: In the capital, there are skilled performers, from now on the king will no longer attend morning court."

[Ding!]

[Detected someone bragging, congratulations to the host for gaining +1 mana.]

...

Boom~

With each surge of immense and pure mana, it surged into the dantian.

Wang Xiu only felt a layer of invisible barriers shattering within his body, and his cultivation also reached a new level.

"Phew~"

Exhaling a breath of relief, Wang Xiu's eyes were filled with satisfaction. "Finally broke through to the Second Layer of Foundation Building."

"As expected."

"Hard work is useless, cheating is the way to go."

Fifteen years ago,

Wang Xiu transmigrated to this Immortal Cultivation World. As a newly born orphan, he was brought back to the Three Purities Immortal Gate by a cheap master.

He became a true disciple of the Spirit Turtle Peak Divination Lineage of the Three Purities Immortal Gate.

Hmm~

To say he was a true disciple was a bit far-fetched, because within the entire Spirit Turtle Peak Divination Lineage, there were only Luo Binglan, the master of the lineage, and Wang Xiu, the true disciple.

Apart from that,

No one else was left.

As for the once prestigious Three Purities Immortal Gate, why did it decline to the point where only a few cats remained? To explain this, we have to go back eight hundred years.

Nine hundred years ago,

The Three Purities Immortal Gate was the strongest Immortal Gate in the Divine State, holding the position of the leader of the Immortal Alliance, commanding the world.

360 immortal peaks, 360 different lineages.

No matter what kind of top inheritance system you wanted to cultivate, you could find it in the Three Purities Immortal Gate.

And the Divination Lineage,

Specializing in divination, it was said to be able to calculate all the secrets of the heavens, and it held a superior position among the various lineages!

During its peak, it even ranked first among the many peaks.

Commanding all the lineages, it was unparalleled in glory!

But everything changed completely 860 years ago.

That year.

The seal on Sea Demon Island in the Eastern Sea was destroyed, and a million Demon Race army broke the seal and invaded the Divine State.

The Immortal Alliance issued a decree.

The various factions of the Divine State gathered their strongest warriors and joined forces in the Eastern Sea to resist the Demon Race.

Before they set off, the then head of the Three Purities Immortal Gate asked the chief of the Divination Peak to personally divine whether going to the Eastern Sea would bring good fortune or disaster.

That night, the chief of the Divination Peak almost exhausted his life force.

His hair turned white as snow, and in the end, he divined: this battle will be a great victory, and the Three Purities Immortal Gate will sweep away the demons, establish supreme prestige, and have ten thousand immortals pay homage.

The head of the Three Purities Immortal Gate was overjoyed.

So he led nearly 80% of the elite forces of the Three Purities Immortal Gate to the Eastern Sea to fight against the Demon Race, with an imposing manner even more arrogant than the Demon Race.

The result was idealistic but tragic.

The entire army of 100,000 elite disciples was annihilated, along with the head of the Three Purities Immortal Gate and 69 Transcending Tribulation Stage Earth Immortals, all sacrificed.

The entire Three Purities Immortal Gate fell from being the strongest sect in the Immortal Alliance to the second tier.

Several years later.

They suffered further retaliation from the Demon Race, with 100,000 Demon Race attacking the Three Purities Immortal Gate, instantly destroying the entire mountain gate.

The Grotto-Heaven small world was exiled into the endless void, with 324 out of 360 main peaks destroyed.

Hundreds of spiritual stone veins were almost completely destroyed.

Blood flowed like rivers, and countless lives were devastated.

If it weren't for the support of other Immortal Gates, they would have been wiped out.

Until now.

After hiding their strength for more than 800 years, the Three Purities Immortal Gate still hasn't recovered, not even regaining half of their former battle strength.

Almost everyone believes that the divination made by the chief of the Divination Peak was the fundamental reason for the severe damage to the sect's vitality and the Demon Race's retaliation.

Tens of thousands of disciples died in battle, and hundreds of lineages were severed.

For 800 years.

Endless anger poured towards the Divination Lineage, causing it to decline day by day.

From being bustling with visitors and guests, to being deserted and empty, only Luo Binglan and Wang Xiu remain today.

Originally.

Luo Binglan, as the granddaughter of the former head of the Divination Lineage, was determined to revive the Divination Lineage.

However.

This girl naturally has a face that is tired of the world, and she is cold to everyone she meets, either not speaking at all or saying, "I see that your forehead is dark, fearing a disaster of bloodshed."

Whenever disciples from the various major branches of the Three Purities Immortal Gate see her, they feel unlucky, and some even fight her with knives.

But when they really start a fight, they are instantly knocked down by this girl, blood splattering everywhere.

After beating them up.

This person still confidently says, "See, I told you that you would have a disaster of bloodshed!"

The level of hatred is off the charts!
