"Sect Leader Elder Brother, youâre sitting on my money."
At this point, Mao Ruxue spoke up. She was the one in charge of collecting the money.
With each successful disciple, she would scoop up a hundred Dao Source Stones from the table in front of Li Daoran and pocket them.
Each time she did so, the little lassâs eyes would smile until they closed into a line.
Clink, clink!
That was the sound of money!
Seeing the Dao Source Stones disappearing from the table, Li Daoran started to feel a headache.
"Junior brother, I have a question. I donât know if itâs appropriate to ask."
After a while, he couldnât bear it anymore, came up to Chen Changâan and uttered his question rather timidly.
"Sect Leader, my time is precious. I can make a hundred Dao Source Stones in ten seconds. So, I think your question might be inappropriate."
Chen Changâan continued his work planting the Literary Veins for the disciple standing in front of him, even as he turned his head to reply to Li Daoran.
It was clear that he was very busy.
Uh~!
Hearing Chen Changâanâs words, Li Daoran choked back.
He didnât expect Chen Changâan to respond this way.
Kid, youâll kill me with your talk.
But eventually, Li Daoran gritted his teeth and asked:
"Junior brother, is there some trick to planting these Literary Veins? Why are you so fast?"
"And it seems like your success rate is a bit too high."
"High success rate?"
At these words, Chen Changâan was stunned. You can even calculate success rate for this thing?
Then, after thinking for a while, he said:
"Sect Leader, I think itâs probably because our disciples are exceptionally talented."
"Congratulations, Sect Leader, all the disciples weâve enrolled this year are good ones!"
Wait, so heâs congratulating me on getting all the good disciples?
Upon hearing this, Li Daoran almost bit his lip in frustration.
If it was only the disciples who were successfully cultivating, that would be fine.
But he was succeeding with even the cooks in the back hillside.
Youâre telling me this is because of the discipleâs excellent talent?
Youâre bluffing me!
"Next."
Chen Changâan didnât bother with Li Daoran anymore and turned to the waiting line.
"Next."
Soon, a disciple came forward.
But he was not alone. In his arms, he was holding a puppy.
"Huh? Little Tiger from the Dao Peak? Youâve been here before, havenât you?" Chen Changâan recognised this disciple and felt someone familiar.
"Yes, uncle. I came here before."
Upon hearing Chen Changâanâs words, the disciple named Little Tiger quickly bowed and gave his thanks, then he said, "Thanks to your teachings, uncle, I have already planted my Literary Vein."
"Uncle, Iâm here regarding my dog, Er Huang."
"Uncle, could you please plant a Literary Vein for Er Huang as well?"
"Donât worry, Uncle, Er Huang has an identity in the sect, and is considered a âpersonâ."
"Alright, since it has a status within the sect, then bring it over." After hearing Little Tigerâs request, Chen Changâan nodded.
Then, he looked at Er Huang in Little Tigerâs arms, saying:
"Er Huang, youâre one more than Big Yellow, one less than Three Yellow, so today, I grant you awakening!"
"Om Mani Padme Hum!"
As he spoke, Chen Changâan reached out a finger.
Humming~!
The next moment, a flash of white light appeared.
Then, something surprising happened.
A pea-sized orb appeared on Er Huangâs forehead, surrounded by a mist of Literary Qi.
Just one look at this would make anyone feel joyful.
That was the Literary Vein!
Woof woof~!
After the Literary Vein was planted, Er Huang immediately stood and barked excitedly twice.
In its eyes, there was obviously more spiritual essence than before.
"Alright, itâs done. Go down, and read more books to it when you have time."
"Next."
Chen Changâan said.
"Th...Thank you, Uncle Master!" said the disciple called Little Tiger, and quickly left in excitement.
"Motherf***er!"
Seeing all of this, a twitch immediately returned to Li Daoranâs mouth corner.
Oh for f***âs sake, planting a Literary Vein in a person is one thing...
But did you really go ahead and plant it in a dog too?
"Hm? Whatâs wrong, Sect Leader, arenât we planting Congressional Veins anymore?"
Suddenly, Chen Changâan turned his head and asked.
Then, he added: "If weâre stopping now, Iâll tell these disciples to leave, itâs about time for me to stop working anyway."
Upon hearing Chen Changâan, Li Daoran quickly waved his hand and said,
"No, no, donât misunderstand me, disciple brother. Itâs just an old habit of mine acting up, sometimes Iâm a little crazy. You just continue, donât mind me."
"Oh, okay." Chen Changâan nodded.
Then he looked towards Mao Ruxue standing behind him and said:
"Junior sister, remember to charge a hundred Dao Source Stones, donât miss any."
"Oh yes, elder brother."
Mao Ruxue quickly nodded.
The clanging sound of money flowing into the account.
Seeing this, Li Daoran reached out, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and relaxed a bit.
End work?
He wished he could!
After all, not long after this parade started, he had already run out of the Dao Source Stones he brought.
If they continue playing like this, Li Daoran dared not reassure himself that he would still have his pants left in the end!
Therefore, he also wanted Chen Changâan to stop planting Veins for the disciples.
After all, his original intention was to simply hope that Chen Changâan would only have to raise about ten disciples with the Veins.
But who the f*** knew that Chen Changâan would plant so massively.
In such a short time, there were almost a thousand disciples.
A thousand disciples with Veins, even the top ten in Confucius Templeâs Jixia Academy didnât have this many, f***!
Yet, although he wanted to stop it, Li Daoran found he had no other choice.
Now that all the disciples are queuing here, if he does actually stop it.
What would the disciples in line behind think?
That would definitely cause a commotion, wouldnât it!
Well, well, letâs just let it be what it will be then.
After all, they are all disciples of my sect, an awakening is an awakening.
Given the current situation, Li Daoran had no choice but to resign himself to it.
What, you said even the dog was enlightened?
Whatâs wrong with that?
Thereâs nothing wrong with that.
After all, the dog is the sectâs dog too, isnât it?
Thinking this way, Li Daoran felt a bit better inside.
Just donât know why, when he saw Mao Ruxue grabbing money into her pockets, his heart would ache slightly.
Chen Changâan didnât bother about what Li Daoran was thinking. After instructing Mao Ruxue, he turned his gaze to the queuing disciples.
And resumed planting the Veins.
"Next."
"Uncle Master, please take a look, this is my familyâs Chicken Bro..."
"Uncle Master, this is my familyâs Little Piggy..."
"This is my Life Essence Sword...!"
"This is my Five Finger Maiden..."
"Hello Uncle Master..."
"....."
A whole day passed quickly.
In the main hall of the Tianshui Sect.
The disciples had all left.
Mao Ruxue had packed away dozens of Sumi rings.
She and Chen Changâan embarked on their return journey.
Only Li Daoran was left behind.
Holding a promissory note of two hundred thousand.
And he was plunged into confusion.
