This is a pair of kings.

However, just as Sect Leader Xuan Yuanhong finished speaking, spitting excitedly, he found that Zhong Qing was not as excited as he imagined.

On the contrary, he even frowned a little.

This left Sect Leader Xuan Yuanhong utterly bewildered.

"What, you're not excited about this gift?" Sect Leader Xuan Yuanhong couldn't help but ask.

"Uh..."

Zhong Qing couldn't help but touch his nose.

For a moment, he was speechless.

This old man had kept him in suspense for so long, building up the anticipation, and he truly thought it was something good, looking forward to it with great expectation.

It turned out to be just a Wang-level Skill; his anticipation had been in vain.

But to be fair, a Wang-level Skill...

It was indeed a good item, it's just that he had signed in for eight of them today, so he genuinely couldn't get excited.

"You brat, what's wrong with you?" Seeing Zhong Qing's lack of interest, Sect Leader Xuan Yuanhong couldn't help but scold him in an annoyed tone, "This is a Wang-level Skill, do you look down on it?"

"You little rascal, don't let your tail go sky-high just because your strength has grown; while it's true that you're powerful, only with a good Cultivation Technique can you achieve twice the results with half the effort."

"Alright, alright."

Zhong Qing truly had no choice but to take the Talisman.

"But since you insist on giving me this Cultivation Technique, then I'll also give you a few Cultivation Techniques."

Saying that, Zhong Qing had already rotated his Storage Ring.

"Hmm, you're giving me a few Cultivation Techniques too?"

Sect Leader Xuan Yuanhong looked confused, then waved his hand and said, "There's no need for that. We're not exchanging favors, and besides, our Sect's Scripture Pavilion has plenty..."

But then...

Before he could finish his sentence, a 'gah' sound escaped his mouth, like a choked duck, as he stared intently at Zhong Qing in front of him.

He saw Zhong Qing take out eight Wang-level Skills from his Storage Ring. These eight Wang-level Skills were exactly what Zhong Qing had obtained from signing in and hadn't yet had time to put into storage.

"You, you, you, you, you..."

Seeing these eight Wang-level Skills, Sect Leader Xuan Yuanhong was already trembling and speechless.

"Don't want them?" Zhong Qing asked.

"Want!"

Almost instantly, he snatched the eight Wang-level Skills from Zhong Qing's hand and began to confirm them one by one.

When he discovered that all eight Wang-level Skills were real, his breathing became rapid.

At this moment, he finally understood why Zhong Qing had been so unenthusiastic upon hearing about a Wang-level Skill.

When someone can pull out eight of them in one go, of course, he'd be unenthusiastic.

Remembering his own mysterious demeanor from earlier, he felt like an idiot, and... 'sending charcoal in the snow'?

"Eight, these are eight Wang-level Skills! You brat, how on earth did you get your hands on them?" Sect Leader Xuan Yuanhong found it difficult to calm the excitement in his heart and couldn't help but ask.

"If I want them, I get them, right?"

Zhong Qing spread his hands, speaking with a calm expression.

Is that what a human says?

Is that a human speaking?

Sect Leader Xuan Yuanhong was full of question marks.

"Alright, alright, Sect Master, don't worry about where these eight Cultivation Techniques came from. Just keep them."

Zhong Qing quickly comforted Sect Leader Xuan Yuanhong, helping him sit back down, "And this Talisman of yours, I appreciate the Sect's kindness, but I really don't need this, so you should take it back as well."

"Alright."

At this moment, Sect Leader Xuan Yuanhong was truly speechless.

Since the other person could produce eight, his Wang-level Skill indeed had no use for him.

Seeing that Sect Leader Xuan Yuanhong said nothing more, Zhong Qing finally breathed a sigh of relief and began to brew tea again.

Actually, given their relationship, giving Sect Leader Xuan Yuanhong a few Emperor-level Cultivation Techniques wouldn't be a big deal.

But after careful consideration, Zhong Qing decided against it.

An innocent person is guilty if he possesses a treasure.

Once this news leaked out, the Immortal River Sect would face a catastrophic disaster.

Therefore, giving the Sect a few Wang-level Skills was just right.

"You brat, tell me the truth, is the Cultivation Technique you're Cultivating yourself even higher than a Wang-level Skill?" After sitting down, Sect Leader Xuan Yuanhong put away the eight Wang-level Skills and couldn't help but ask Zhong Qing.

Zhong Qing nodded while pouring tea, replying, "Yes, the Cultivation Technique I Cultivate myself is indeed a tiny bit higher than a Wang-level Skill."

"A tiny bit, is it Venerable-level?"

"Emperor-level."

"Nima."

Sect Leader Xuan Yuanhong, who had just taken a sip of tea, immediately spat it out, cursed, and abruptly stood up, yelling, "Is this a 'tiny bit' higher, you motherfucker?!"

Zhong Qing annoyedly wiped the tea from his face and couldn't help but complain, "Sect Master, you are the Sect Master of a Sect after all; can't you be a bit calmer when things happen?"

"Calm my ass! You tell me, can I be calm? How can I be calm?"

Zhong Qing could only continue to comfort him in a soft voice, and after a long time of soothing, Sect Leader Xuan Yuanhong finally calmed down and sat back down.

"Come, have a cup of tea, don't think so much."

Zhong Qing chuckled softly, shook the copper pot, and found that there wasn't enough water inside. So, he instructed Lin Feng, who had been standing by his side, "Disciple, go to the mountain opposite and fetch another pot of spring water. Remember to be quick."

"Yes, Master."

Lin Feng respectfully took the copper pot and directly ascended into the air.

In just a few breaths, he had made a round trip to the cloud-covered mountain opposite, returning with a full copper pot.

"Master, this is the water you requested."

Lin Feng said respectfully.

"Hmm, put it aside to boil," Zhong Qing instructed softly.

"Yes, Master," Lin Feng replied.

The spring water from the mountain opposite is rich in Spiritual Qi, smooth and delicious, and has a sweet taste when savored. It's excellent for brewing tea.

The Sect Master is busy with a myriad of affairs; it's not easy for him to visit me. Drink a few more cups of tea, relax well. In a way, it's also beneficial for Cultivation.

"Hmm?"

"Why isn't the Sect Master speaking?"

Zhong Qing chattered on and on, but then he noticed Sect Leader Xuan Yuanhong staring wide-eyed at Lin Feng, who was standing behind Zhong Qing, with an expression as if he had seen a ghost.

Finally, after a very long time, Sect Leader Xuan Yuanhong pointed at Lin Feng and asked, "Don't tell me, this Disciple is that white-quality Disciple you took in last time at Immortal River Main Peak?"

"Yes, is there a problem?" Zhong Qing blinked and asked.

"You ask if there's a problem?!" Sect Leader Xuan Yuanhong exclaimed, "A little over a month ago, he wasn't even Body Refining, and now he can fly through the air and make a round trip to the mountain opposite in such a short time?"

"Quick, what's his Cultivation now?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Feng quickly cupped his hands, stepped forward, and said, "Reporting to the Sect Master, this Disciple is untalented; I have only just broken through to the Chen Xuan Realm."

"Nima."

Another curse word burst from Sect Leader Xuan Yuanhong's mouth.

He almost couldn't hold back a mouthful of fresh blood.

Untalented.

Untalented my ass.

Over a month, from zero to the Chen Xuan Realm, and he's 'untalented'???

One must know that the peak Masters and Elders of his Immortal River Sect, who had Cultivated for most of their lives, were only in the Chen Xuan Realm.

Damn it.

These Master and Disciple are a pair of show-offs!
