Once Upon A Time, There Was A Spirit Sword Mountain

After a long time, another female voice came out from the hall, but compared to the Ninth Elder’s voice, this voice was somewhat more mature, and her tone of voice was also frivolous.

“Interesting, so you want to be the Spirit Sword Sect’s mascot?”

Wang Lu laughed. “Even if I want to be the Sect Leader, you ought to comply.”

“Absolutely not, because I also want to be… Ahem, although I don’t know why these group of retards fail to include you on the list, being a mascot is not too bad either. We, the Spirit Sword Sect, are one of the top five sects, so our sect’s mascot would certainly receive countless benefits. Even if you can’t practice cultivation, with the Spirit Sword Sect’s reputation behind you, you can indeed easily oppress the people and commit outrages! Not to mention that those princes and kings in the mortal world wouldn’t dare to oppose you. Later on, if you go to a brothel to visit prostitutes, you don’t even need to pay them money! ... Hey, why are you guys trying to stop me? I’m just telling it as it is, I am not charging you for it!”

A burst of fighting sound came from the inner hall, and then the woman loudly coughed. “All in all, being a mascot has all kind of benefits. Moreover, you will be treated better than the sect’s disciples. But since you can’t train any cultivation method, you canʼt return any benefit back to the sect. Making you a mascot would just waste the Sect’s resources, and there’s no advantage to the sect at all.”

Upon hearing this, Wang Lu burst out laughing.

This woman’s words left an indescribable feeling in him… It was like he was listening to himself. Although those words were like a jest, Wang Lu easily figured out the meaning behind it.

She was reminding him of something crucial.

But she actually didn’t need to; as a professional adventurer, Wang Lu, of course, knew that he held a trump card that could reverse all of those previous decisions from the Elders.

“Oh, I understand. To be a mascot, I must first pay the union fee, right? The Spirit Sword Sect is an Immortal Cultivation Sect, so mortal’s gold and silver are meaningless. Which means you want me to pay using the mountain money right? It just so happens that I have it in me, here, I give you five cents!”

Wang Lu sneered, took out something from his pocket, and threw it towards the white light that shrouded the inner hall of the Mystical Cloud Hall.

As soon as the Elders saw that thing, the inner hall immediately went into chaos.

“The hell, it’s that thing!”

“How did he get this thing?”

“It’s actually the Firmament Cloud Ancient Coin! Senior Martial Brother, is he your illegitimate son?”

The mouths of the nine Elders were wide opened as they stare in shock at that copper coin.

Firmament Cloud Ancient Coin!

This copper coin was actually just an ordinary copper coin. It was neither a magical treasure nor did it contain priceless materials, yet it was more priceless than any treasures!

This was the fxcking Firmament Cloud Ancient Coin… The legendary Patriarch of the Spirit Sword Sect, Daoist Master Xiao Yun [1], had left behind several karmic debts while he was still among mortals. To pay for that, he had bestowed several coins to the people that he owed big favors to. Whoever held that coin could put forward a request.

Such stories were not uncommon in the Immortal Cultivation World. Many other sects have similar props that spread outside. Now, after thousands of years had passed, the real Firmament Cloud Ancient Coins had long disappeared, unable to withstand the passage of time. Now, this Firmament Cloud Ancient Coin was nothing more than an imitation made by the later generation to commemorate the Spirit Sword Sect’s Patriarch.

However, the effect was still the same. Whoever held this ancient coin would be able to demand any request from the Spirit Sword Sect; this was guaranteed by the Sect Leader Daoist Immortal Feng Yin. So far, no one had ever used it before, but with Daoist Immortal Feng Yin’s reputation, nobody doubted its efficacy.

For Wang Lu to hold this ancient coin, not only could he demand to become the sect’s mascot, in theory, he could even demand for one of the Elders of the Heavenly Sword Hall to be the sect’s mascot! Of course, if someone indeed put forward such an unreasonable demand, the Sect Leader would be forced to abandon his face and firmly renege on his words… Of course, that’s unless the Elder in question was the Fifth Elder, then the Sect Leader would happily oblige.
