26 You Did It On Purpose! I Want To Impeach You! (1/2)

“Those are the only description of the Void Spirit Root that we have. As far as we know, no one else knows more about this type of spirit root than us. After all, no one has ever seen this spirit root in thousands of years.”

After she finished explaining all the available information about the Void Spirit Root, the girl went silent, quietly waiting for the participants to digest it.

“But, considering that you came out on top in this Immortal Path, according to the rules, you indeed can enter the sect. However, you can’t train the Immortal Cultivation Method, because you will meet challenging situations in the future. Therefore, you should think this over carefully. At best, you could become a theoretical researcher. But without the ability to practice, even if you have a gargantuan comprehension, you will only achieve the highest academic attainment in theory of Immortal Cultivation Method which is good, but I don’t think you would be satisfied with that.”

“Of course, we also can issue a letter of recommendation for you. I believe that the Ten Thousand Arts Sect, Kunlun Immortal Sect, and even Shengjing Sect would be interested in a talent like you. However, the things that we are unable to solve, they would also find them difficult to solve.”

“Oh, by the way, Ninth Martial Uncle just added that, you could also choose to become the Spirit Sword Sect’s mascot. In any case, you have the same spirit root as the two revered ancient Immortal Emperors. If you become the Sect’s mascot, the Spirit Sword Sect’s grandeur could overwhelm the Shengjing Sect.”

After saying that, even the girl found that her Ninth Martial Uncle’s advice was wrong. But, when she was ready to say something, she heard Wang Lu suddenly clapped his hands.

“Okay, we have a deal!”

“What?”

“Long Live to me, the Mascot! Spirit Sword Sect, here I come!”

Wang Lu, who set the record in the Cloud Wave Map, had rapidly changed his position. His decisiveness in choosing this option nearly scared the girl to death.

“How, how, how… How can you do this!”

This answer totally floored the girl. Wang Lu’s reaction was completely the opposite of what her Master predicted! Her Master had said that Wang Lu might fly into a rage, become hysterical, or even argue back. But her Master never said that there was a possibility that Wang Lu might gleefully accept the job of becoming the sect’s Mascot!

Even the nearby Hai Yunfan gawked until he almost dislocated his jaw. He endured the pain from slapping his jaw back into place, but deep inside his heart, he couldn’t help but roar crazily, “Is this your so-called tragic beginning? Why did you accept this offer? Oh, Brother Wang Lu, your image in my heart has collapsed!”

Even the Elders in the Hall were stunned by this. Then, a somewhat panicked voice of a young woman came out, “Brave hero, that was just a joke from me, don’t take it seriously.”

However, Wang Lu’s only reply to that was to cheerfully ask, “Does your Sect provide board and lodging for the sect’s mascot?”

“Bo-Board and Lodging…?”

“Do you provide them or not? Is there a commission? Do you give paid annual leave?”

That Elder couldn’t understand what he was talking about, but she felt that it was significant and was tongue-tied.

She then heard Wang Lu said, “Since your noble sect has offered me to become the sect’s mascot, how could you take back your own words? If the Spirit Sword Sect, one of the magnificent top five sects, renege on their words, people would scold them for not having a credibility, and for being shameless and inferior to evil cults. That would be bad.”

Upon hearing this, the young girl seemed frightened; her eyes widened as she nervously looked back and asked, “Ninth Martial Aunt, going back on our words is not good.”

“You fool, why did you pick his side!?”

The girl hugged her head in pain again and shouted, “It hurts, ah…” She seemed to be forcefully pulled back into the hall.

A long silence ensued… The Elders in the Mystical Cloud Hall found themselves in a very awkward situation. The Spirit Sword Sect was a righteous ancient sect that attached great importance in their reputation and integrity, which couldn’t even be comprehended by the newer sects. However, the mascot was too much of a joke, but they couldn’t just possibly muddle through this thing...

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 can't 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?”
