32 Master, Please Accept My Respect! (1/2)

Before he realized it, Wang Lu had entered the Spirit Sword Sect for two years. During which, his daily life seemed dull. But a dull life in the Immortal Cultivation World was way different than a dull life for a mortal. In these two years, he had experienced more novelties than his previous twelve years combined.

Too many fresh things entered his mind, so much that his amazing memory, which he was previously immensely proud of, had been quite taxed. His past idyllic life at the Wang Village had been just that, the past… Even his famous feat in completing the Immortal Gathering with flying colors had gradually faded from his memory.

However, the food box that he bought with three thousand and five hundred taels of silver from the Spirit Creek Town two years ago was still fresh in his mind and never faded, just like the sunny smile of the girl before him.

“Good afternoon, Lady Boss…”

Wang Lu greeted her with a warm smile on his face.

Speaking of this Lady Boss, she was a person of extraordinary talent, and her identity was no small matter. There were three important things about her.

First, she got an impeded backyard access to the Spirit Sword Mountain. Of all the hundred citizens of Spirit Creek Town, so far, in Wang Lu’s observation, Lady Boss was the only one that could pass through the entrance of the Spirit Sword Mountain. Two years ago, the Lady Boss had joked with him that she would meet him on the mountain. She was actually telling the truth!

Second, the Lady Boss’s had fabulous relations with the people on the mountain. Most of the disciples had good impressions of her, even the Elders, when they saw her, would involuntarily smile… Even more incredible was his Master! The Fifth Elder affectionately called her little Ling’Er and even claimed they have deep sisterhood relationship!

However, when asked about the details of the Lady Boss’s identity, all of the answers were vague. The Elders obviously knew about the truth, but they withheld their answer. The answer from the disciples perfectly and clearly highlighted the outspoken mentality of the Spirit Sword Sect’s people: “I saw that even the Elders here are polite to her, who are we to dare to be discourteous towards her?”

Third, which was also the most crucial point, Wang Lu’s secret trump card that enabled him to bypass the decision of the Immortal Gathering two years ago, the Firmament Cloud Ancient Coin, was given to him by her! Wang Lu became clear of the value of that coin when he entered the mountain. According to reason and common sense, unless the Lady Boss was the illegitimate daughter of the Sect Leader, there was no other way to explain the origin of this coin. However, there were two arguments that were against this explanation. First, how could the grand Sect Leader of the Spirit Sword Sect let his daughter ran an inn at the Spirit Creek Town? Did she just want to seek novelties? Furthermore, after being an acquaintance for two years, Wang Lu could clearly tell that the Lady Boss didn’t have any cultivation, and she even lacked the Stellar Spirit Root of the Sect Leader; she was a completely an ordinary person. Secondly… his Master, Fifth Elder, always claimed to be the Lady Boss’s sister. If the Lady Boss was the illegitimate daughter of the Sect Leader, wouldn’t that sisterhood claim drop the Fifth Elder’s seniority? Knowing his Master’s character, that would simply be impossible.

Thus, the Lady Boss had become the most enigmatic person in the Spirit Sword Mountain. Fortunately, although her origin was a mystery, she was actually a good person. In his two years of dull cultivation life, this Lady Boss, the owner of the Ru Family Inn in Spirit Creek Town, would often go up the mountain every few days to bring a box filled with food to help Wang Lu improve his food choice. Otherwise, Wang Lu would have long been ruined under the tyranny of this “starry sky” chef.

Thus, upon seeing the Lady Boss, Wang Lu’s sorrowful thought about his afternoon meal immediately vanished into thin air as he briskly walked to her who stood under a tree. Watching the food box on her hand, his smile involuntarily grew wider.

The girl sighed and said, “It’s easy to invite a gossip about us with that kind of smile you know.”

Although her mouth said that, she still invited Wang Lu to sit near her under a tree, then she opened the food box similar to two years ago.

The Spirit Sword Mountain was covered with all kinds of immortal vegetables and spirit meat which was unimaginably tasty. Of course, that was true only if they were served at the Carefree Peak dining hall, or possibly some private kitchen of the Elders. But at this time, Wang Lu thought that the Lady Boss’s simple meal was simply unmatched.

“Come on, if you praise me again, I won’t be able to improve my craft, then I won’t be able to find an excuse to get your meal money… Today, I look for you also because of this…”

Before she finished, Wang Lu had already fished out a bunch of spirit grass from his pocket and handed them over to her.

A smile appeared on Lady Boss’s face. “Great, in two days, I will exchange them for silver and give to you… Speaking of which, don’t you worry that if you keep doing this, you will waste all the spirit grass on the Non-Phase Peak?”

Wang Lu snappily said, “In two years, my scoundrel Master never gave me any allowance. She even deducted the Sect’s Successor Disciple’s subsidy that was intended for me. She forced me to rely on myself to survive! Moreover, if I didn’t take this spirit grass for myself, that retard would take them for herself for sure. Wasn’t all the beautiful natural scenery on the Non-Phase Peak wasted by her? In any case, once she dies, that Non-Phase Peak will be mine, so it’s only logical if I take some of my inheritance in advance.”

“... The two of you, Master and Disciple, really have deep feelings for each other.” The Lady Boss sighed as she gnawed the pig’s trotters.

Wang Lu said, “Ai, luckily you also run this fence business, or I won’t be able to sell anything.”

The Lady Boss laughed. “Nonsense, no matter what, the Spirit Sword Sect is one of the top five sects, so they should have their own internal circulation of currency, no? It’s those spirit stones or sect’s credit.”

Wang Lu replied, “I have no use of those things. Even if you give me top grade spirit stones. So, I might as well get me some mortal money and buy some mortal things…”

The Lady Boss stopped chewing the bones and casually asked, “By the way, how is your training?”

Wang Lu replied with another question, “May I ask how is your inn business?”

“...We really are in the same boat.” The Lady Boss sighed, “To think that I have a thriving business two years ago, but now, no one wants to come to my inn. Alas, what a disaster!”

“Nonsense, two years ago, it was a rare moment when many retards gather in one place. That’s why you can sell more than one hundred plates of radish for millions tael of silver, how could you expect it to be like that forever?”

“So, do you still get in touch with your gay partner?”

Wang Lu nearly sprayed the rice in his mouth toward the Lady Boss. “I don’t have any gay partner! Don’t spout nonsense okay? I am just a pen pal with Little Hai now! That turtle left me for the Ten Thousand Arts Sect and became a disciple there. One year ago, he said he has successfully drawn the spiritual energy into his body. But in his letter yesterday, he said he had broken through the seven level of the Qi Cultivating Stage, what a show-off!”

The Lady Boss was deeply in thought for a while and then nodded. “In two years he has reached the seven level of the Qi Cultivating Stage, the Ten Thousand Arts Sect is really a place for persons with rare spirit root. Hai Yunfan’s potential will be pushed to the limit there. In contrast, the progress of the few new inner court disciples on our side is really slow. The fastest one is that Zhu Qin who has the third rank spirit root and just recently able to draw the spirit energy into his body. This is a systemic problem! Spirit Sword Sect are not worthy of the title one of the top five sects anymore. This current decaying situation is all because of the incompetence and muddle-headedness of that retard sect leader and his private life.”

Her words scared the life out of Wang Lu, “Hey, you always seem to put the blame on the system.”

The Lady Boss pursed her mouth. “No matter what, in two years, they still haven’t figure out how to train your Void Spirit Root…”

“Damn, I am really good at studying, don’t you forget that.”
