156: Double Happiness

Chapter 156: Double Happiness

“With this level of skill, how dare he steal the President’s credit? Does he have no shame?”

“President, rest assured, in the subsequent battlegrounds and individual matches, we’ll definitely take care of that Zhao fellow. Our Club’s points are almost enough anyway.”

“That’s right, in the future, we’ll just focus on taking down Zhan Tian Club, and that’s that.”

Xue Lingling heard it and was delighted, “Hahaha, I love hearing that! I didn’t dote on you all for nothing!”

“But seriously, Brother Cong’s Tool Scroll really has something special. It can even be used by painting spirits.”

For a moment, everyone’s attention focused on Wang Xiaocong.

At this time, Wang Xiaocong was still in a state of “self-bewilderment,” somewhat overwhelmed by the curious and excited gazes of the crowd.

The key was that even he himself was bewildered; he hadn't expected the Yin Sha Ghost Sword to be usable by a painting spirit.

After all, his original intention was just to pursue the idea of tool personification.

This Heaven-Defying situation was a complete unexpected gain.

“No worries, take your time to figure it out. If you need anything, just say the word,” Xue Lingling comforted him, “The entire Club will absolutely give its full support!”

“Yes, yes, yes, Brother Cong, just focus on understanding this thoroughly. We’re waiting to properly arm our painting spirits.”

“I… I’ll do my best.”

Wang Xiaocong didn’t yet have a clear understanding of his own talent and abilities.

Subsequently, as everyone enjoyed themselves, the catering team for the celebration banquet arrived, with the star-rated hotel’s chef team personally on-site.

At the lively celebration banquet, everyone envisioned their bright future with the Club, toasting and chatting.

Until Old Master Wang Fengnian and two accompanying bodyguards arrived.

“Old Master Wang, you’ve arrived? Please, take a seat!”

Xue Lingling greeted him warmly, naturally knowing the purpose of Wang Fengnian’s hurried arrival.

“Grandpa, why are you here?” Wang Xiaocong couldn’t help but be surprised.

Wang Fengnian took a deep breath, unable to hide his relief, “My grandson has made something of himself, how could I not come?”

“Hehe,” Wang Xiaocong shyly scratched his head, “You might not believe it, but even your grandson didn’t expect this.”

“No worries, take it slow,” Wang Fengnian smiled, “From now on, all of our Family’s resources and funds will be fully directed towards you.”

As he spoke, he inadvertently exchanged a smile with Wu Xian, filled with emotion.

Originally, he had only wanted his grandson to follow the leader’s grandson, just as he had in his youth. Who would have thought that his own grandson would also make something of himself?

“For safety, it’s better not to sell Brother Cong’s Tool Scroll to outsiders. Just use it internally within your Club. At least, it’s not suitable for external sale for now,” Old Master Wang Fengnian pondered and spoke.

“No problem.”

Xue Lingling also understood Wang Fengnian’s thoughts.

Such a Heaven-Defying Tool Scroll would inevitably attract trouble, so it was better to keep a low profile for now.

“From what I understand, your Wang Family seems to have some connection with the Tiangong Taoist Temple, right?” Xue Lingling mused, “Perhaps letting him go to the Tiangong Taoist Temple in the future would be a good choice.”

Wang Fengnian chuckled and nodded, “I have my own arrangements in that regard.”

Xue Lingling understood and said no more.

Later, Old Master Wang Fengnian also toasted and celebrated with the Club members.

He even feigned a “first meeting” with Wu Xian, praising Wu Xian profusely in every word.

Ding-a-ling... A phone call interrupted the festive atmosphere.

“Who is it?”

Xue Lingling irritably pulled out her phone, a strange look flashing in her eyes, then answered the call, “Hello~ Senior Brother Wang? I’m really sorry about the Cultivation pod issue, but that representative from your Wang Family was truly putting on airs.”

“I’m the one who should apologize,” Senior Brother Wang on the other end of the phone expressed his regret, “I’ve already had the Family punish that person, but there’s been a lot of internal criticism within the Family regarding this cooperation, so future cooperation might be difficult.”

“No worries, if a deal doesn’t work out, goodwill remains.”

Xue Lingling replied indifferently and hung up the phone.

Little did she know, Senior Brother Wang, who was far away at the Undead Dojo, was completely stunned.

After polite pleasantries from both sides, shouldn’t they have renegotiated the cooperation?

He had wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to “extort” some good Materials, preferably some Legacy ideas from the founding Family.

There was nothing he could do; although their Wang Family was doing well in Tianfeng Province, they were nothing special at the Undead Dojo.

Ever since he learned of Xue Lingling’s hidden identity, he had been trying to get close to her.

Now that Xue Lingling wanted to start a Club in a small place, she should, by rights, be very much in need of their Wang Family’s Ink Jade Bamboo Forest.

Not just the Club, but the Xue Family’s future development also depended on the enhancement of high-quality insights.

His words just now clearly meant “to increase the price.”

But he hadn’t expected Xue Lingling to just hang up.

“Tsk~ That shouldn’t be right?”

Senior Brother Wang was utterly perplexed… “Whose call was that, Senior Brother Wang?” Wu Xian asked with a smile, “Heh heh, from the sound of it, he wants to give Shifu-jie another chance to beg him for mercy!”

Xue Lingling pouted and smiled, “So you need to hurry up even more. Our Club is about to challenge the Silver League, and we don’t even have a decent set of Cultivation equipment.”

“There’s no need to rush that much. Just get it done before entering the Silver League.”

The other members were also understanding, afraid that being too rushed would affect Wu Xian’s performance.

But Wu Xian smiled slightly, “Coincidentally, I was just looking for an opportunity to tell everyone, so why don’t we just have double happiness right now.”

With that, he raised his hand and pulled out a bronze scroll facsimile.

In an instant, everyone’s gaze turned towards him, even Old Master Wang cast a curious look, and after Wang Xiaocong’s explanation, he couldn’t help but be startled.

“What do you mean? It’s already done?” Xue Lingling asked in disbelief.

Wu Xian neither confirmed nor denied, “Come~ let’s all feel it!”

Buzz~!

A brilliant divine light bloomed with the scroll, and under everyone’s gaze, it transformed into a peculiar Laurel Tree, glowing with a jade-like luminescence.

The Spiritual Qi power between heaven and earth began to gather towards the jade tree, and was converted into a unique Spiritual Qi aura.

“Such a beautiful spiritual object?” Zhou Qi couldn’t help but exclaim.

“No, no, this Spiritual Qi aura…”

Everyone who tried to absorb the Spiritual Qi for Cultivation exclaimed in surprise.

“Eighty percent, no~ a full ninety percent!”

“Holy cow! Brother Xian is awesome! Please accept my bow!”

“As expected of the Vice President, the amplification effect of this spiritual object is incredible!”

“With such a good thing, who would still care about the Ink Jade Bamboo Forest?”

“What kind of trash is the Ink Jade Bamboo Forest?”

Xue Lingling was stunned for a long time, her pretty face unable to hide her excitement, “A ninety percent amplification, it seems even a little more than ninety percent, and there are absolutely no side effects.”

With this, she wouldn’t need to bother with that Senior Brother Wang anymore.

The reason she had endured the unpleasantness of dealing with Senior Brother Wang was for the Wang Family’s Ink Jade Bamboo Forest.

Now that her obedient disciple’s spiritual object was out, who was Senior Brother Wang? She didn’t know him.

“The original?” Xue Lingling asked eagerly, “Let’s see it!”

“The original is a special case, releasing it would cause too much commotion,” Wu Xian evaded, “Later, if anyone performs meritorious deeds, I can arrange for them to experience the power of the original Laurel Tree.”

Hearing this, everyone couldn’t hide their anticipation and curiosity.

After all, if the facsimile was so powerful, how powerful must the original be?

“But seriously, my obedient disciple is a bit stingy, huh? For our own Club, shouldn’t you at least arrange a copy version?” Xue Lingling’s eyes showed a hint of doubt.

Wu Xian said helplessly, “The Material requirements for this spiritual object are extremely strict. Without truly high-grade Materials, it’s difficult to create a copy.”

Xue Lingling suddenly understood.

That’s right, for such a powerful spiritual object, the Material requirements would naturally not be low.

At the same time, Old Master Wang Fengnian seemed to have noticed something, and said with unconcealed excitement, “Brother Wu’s spiritual object is probably not just about amplifying Spiritual Qi Cultivation.”
