Chapter 343: Not Just Me?

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Perhaps it wasn’t Wang Kun at all after all. They could all see Wang Kun was just a cripple. With Fellow Daoist Su Chen’s judgment, he naturally wouldn’t make too big a mistake. A mere Wang Kun could never catch the eye of Fellow Daoist Su Chen.

“I will do it now.” Wang Wenxuan cupped his hands and left.

On the other side, the pale-faced Wang Kun finally returned to his residence. It was a small courtyard at the foot of a mountain. The courtyard looked a little shabby but was very tidy inside. There was a stone table and an old tree that looked extremely elegant. However, no matter how elegant, the shabbiness could not be concealed.

Wang Kun was the son of the Wang family’s patriarch after all. Even as an illegitimate son, he should not have fallen to this state. The entire courtyard didn’t even have a single Spirit Gathering Formation, which would be almost unimaginable if this got out.

Wang Kun looked at the bleak courtyard and sighed deeply. He took out a pill from his storage ring and put it in his mouth. His originally pale complexion finally regained a hint of rosiness. It was a very low-level healing pill. But even though it was low-grade, he only had one bottle left. After he took one pill, it further depleted his already meager savings.

“In three more days, I can receive this month’s stipend.” Wang Kun felt a little relieved.

Although the Wang family members were extremely harsh on him, not lacking verbal taunts, they rarely docked his stipend.

After all, his current stipend had been reduced again and again, from the original treatment of the patriarch’s illegitimate son to that of an ordinary holy land’s core disciple. With his father’s reputation, the other clansmen didn’t quite dare go too far.

If the patriarch suddenly remembered this illegitimate son one day and saw him living in a hovel, it would be hard to guarantee he wouldn’t retaliate against others.

“I only broke through to the fourth level of the Qi Sea Realm half a year ago. Hopefully, the stipend will let me improve my cultivation a bit,” Wang Kun thought as he walked into the room.

When the others received their stipends, they thought about breaking through their current realm. Only Wang Kun thought about how to improve just a little bit.

As for breaking through…he didn’t dare hope anymore. In his view, just entering the seventh level of Qi Sea Realm in 20 years would be considered successful.

After all, the higher the realm, the harder it became – this was vividly reflected in him. It was still fine at the Qi Gathering Realm, but after reaching the Qi Sea Realm, after cultivating half a year, he felt like he was still at the same level with no improvement at all.

At this rate, he had no confidence he could reach the fifth or sixth level of the Qi Sea Realm in 10 years. It was as if his physique simply couldn’t accommodate any spiritual energy – he was useless to an extreme degree.

“Wang Kun,” a cold voice sounded from outside the courtyard just as Wang Kun reached the door.

“Hmm?” Wang Kun stopped and slowly turned around, brows knitted tightly together in puzzlement.

For so many years, no one had ever approached his small courtyard. Yet today, someone was suddenly calling for him from outside. For a moment, he almost thought he had misheard.

“Wang Kun, why aren’t you coming out?” The voice seemed impatient and shouted again.

“Coming!” Wang Kun responded. He quickly went to the door and opened it.

Outside stood over ten youths in total. Wang Kun recognized the leader – it was a cousin named Wang Lingfeng, two years his senior, whose strength had already reached the peak stage of the Qi Sea Realm. Behind Wang Lingfeng were over ten boys and girls, the oldest only fourteen or fifteen, the youngest eight or nine years old. Standing among them, Wang Lingfeng gave off the feeling of a crane among chickens.

“Why are you so slow?” Wang Lingfeng looked at Wang Kun with displeasure, impatiently saying, “Hurry up and follow me. A big shot wants to see you. Remember! After meeting that important figure, don’t speak much or move much. Just watch from the side. If you lose etiquette, even the patriarch may not be able to protect you. Understand?”

“Yes!” Wang Kun nodded and curiously asked, “May 1 ask which important figure wants to see me, cousin?”

“Great Mystery Holy Son, Su Chen!” Wang Lingfeng sent out a flying magic treasure, calling for the others to go up as he solemnly said.

“The Great Mystery Holy Son Su Chen wants to see me?” Wang Kun felt dizzy along the way, unsure of how he even got on the flying treasure or arrived at the family’s Grand Hall.

At this moment, his mind was filled with amazement that he was lucky enough to be in close contact with the Great Mystery Holy Son Su Chen.

One had to know that although born in the Wang family, he was undoubtedly at the very bottom. If not for his status as the patriarch’s son, his treatment would probably be worse than some servants.

He had never imagined he could interact with someone at Su Chen’s level. After all, they were not of the same world at all. Even Wang Wenxuan could only politely accompany Su Chen with a smile, let alone him.

They arrived at the Grand Hall. A gust of cold wind blew past and Wang Kun shivered before coming to his senses. He looked around and saw many outstanding youths of the younger generation.

These were the Wang family’s rising stars, their strengths on par with his own. However, there was a key difference. They were teenagers or eight to nine-year-old children.

“Not just me?” Wang Kun had a bitter expresssion. As expected, he had thought too much. What level of figure was the Great Mystery Holy Son Su Chen? How could he have specifically named Wang Kun to see him? The ones Su Chen truly wanted to meet were probably some Qi Sea Realm geniuses. As for himself, he just happened to be at the Qi Sea Realm and was brought along to make up the numbers.

“Why is he here too?” someone in the crowd noticed Wang Kun’s presence and asked in surprise.

“Fellow Daoist Su Chen wanted to find someone at the Qi Sea Realm, but didn’t say who exactly, so 1 brought him along too.”

“Fellow Daoist Su Chen wanting to see us this time may be an opportunity. He’s long been at the Quasi-Saint Realm. Just casually imparting some fortune will be of boundless benefit to us.”

“With Fellow Daoist Su Chen’s strength, he certainly won’t look upon a mediocrity.”

Hearing the discussions around him, Wang Kun was unmoved. In the past twenty years, he had heard the same sort of words countless times already. In fact, there were even more vicious words that failed to shake his mindset. For so many years, although his strength was lacking, his Qi nurturing skills were unmatched. Without such resilience, just based on his talent, he could have been angered to death..
