Chapter 21: A Pair of A pair of show-offs

However...

Just as Xuan Yuanhong was excitedly spewing words, he found that Zhong Qing wasn't as excited as he had imagined. On the contrary, Zhong Qing was even frowning slightly.

This left Xuan Yuanhong extremely confused.

"What's wrong? Aren't you excited about this gift?" Xuan Yuanhong couldn't help but ask.

"Uh..." Zhong Qing couldn't help but touch his nose.

For a moment, he was at a loss for words.

This old man had been teasing him for so long, setting the stage for so long, thinking it was something good. Turns out it was just a king-grade cultivation technique. No wonder he wasn't excited.

But speaking of which, a king-grade cultivation technique was indeed a good thing. It's just that he had obtained eight of them just by signing in today, so he couldn't get too excited.

"What's wrong with you, kid?" Xuan Yuanhong couldn't help but scold Zhong Qing when he saw his lack of enthusiasm. "This is a king-grade cultivation technique, don't you value it?"

"Stinky kid, just because you've become powerful, you think you're above everything? Being powerful is one thing, but with good cultivation techniques, you can achieve twice the result with half the effort."

"Alright, alright." Zhong Qing had no choice but to take the talisman.

"But since you insist on giving me this set of techniques, I'll give you a few sets of techniques in return." Zhong Qing said, already turning his storage ring.

"Huh, you're giving me a few sets of techniques too?" Xuan Yuanhong was puzzled, then waved his hand and said, "There's no need for that. We're not doing favors for each other, and besides, our sect's library is full of them..."

However...

Before he could finish his words, he heard a crisp sound like a dry duck coming from Zhong Qing's side. He stared at Zhong Qing in disbelief.

He saw Zhong Qing taking out eight king-grade cultivation techniques from his storage ring. These eight king-grade cultivation techniques were exactly what Zhong Qing had obtained from signing in today, and he hadn't had time to store them in the warehouse yet.

"You, you, you, you, you..." Seeing these eight king-grade cultivation techniques, Xuan Yuanhong was already speechless, trembling all over.

"Do you not want them?" Zhong Qing asked.

"Yes!" Almost instantly, he snatched the eight king-grade cultivation techniques from Zhong Qing's hands and began confirming them one by one. When he found that all eight king-grade cultivation techniques were genuine, his breathing became rapid.

At this moment...

He finally understood why Zhong Qing wasn't excited when he heard about the king-grade cultivation technique.

Zhong Qing could produce eight of them in one go, so of course he wouldn't be excited.

Thinking back to his mysterious appearance just now, he felt like a fool, and he even... was trying to help?

"Eight of them, these are eight king-grade cultivation techniques! How did you manage to obtain them, kid?" Xuan Yuanhong couldn't calm down his excitement and couldn't help but ask.

"It's easy if you want it." Zhong Qing shrugged and said calmly.

Was that even humanly possible?

Xuan Yuanhong was full of question marks.

"Alright, Master, you don't have to worry about where these eight cultivation techniques came from. Since you're taking them, that's fine." Zhong Qing quickly comforted Xuan Yuanhong and motioned for him to sit down again. "As for this talisman, I appreciate the gesture from the sect, but I really don't need it. You can take it back."

"Alright."

At this moment, Xuan Yuanhong was truly speechless.

Zhong Qing could produce eight of them, so his king-grade cultivation technique wasn't really useful to him.

Seeing that Xuan Yuanhong wasn't saying anything, Zhong Qing breathed a sigh of relief and started to brew tea again.

Actually, in terms of their relationship, it wouldn't be a big deal to give Xuan Yuanhong a few emperor-grade techniques. But upon careful consideration, Zhong Qing thought it was better not to.

People are innocent until proven guilty, but holding onto valuable things is a crime.

Once this news got out, Xianjiang Sect would face a disaster.

So giving the sect a few king-grade cultivation techniques was just right.

"Tell me honestly, do you have cultivation techniques higher than king-grade?" After sitting down, Xuan Yuanhong collected the eight king-grade cultivation techniques and couldn't help but ask Zhong Qing.

As Zhong Qing poured tea, he nodded and replied, "Yes, the cultivation techniques I practice are indeed a bit higher than king-grade."

"A bit higher, is it emperor-grade?"

"Yes."

"Damn it!"

Xuan Yuanhong sprayed out the tea he had just drunk, cursed, and stood up angrily, "You call that just a bit higher?"

Zhong Qing wiped the tea off his face and couldn't help but complain, "Master, you're the master of a sect after all. Can't you stay calm in situations like this?"

"How can I stay calm? How can I?" Xuan Yuanhong couldn't help but scold, "One month ago, he couldn't even refine his body, and now he can fly back and forth on the opposite mountain in such a short time? Tell me, what realm is he now?"

Lin Feng, hearing this, hurriedly bowed and said, "Reporting to Master, your disciple has just broken through to the Chen Profound Realm."

"Damn it."

Another curse burst out of Xuan Yuanhong's mouth.

He almost couldn't hold back the urge to spit out blood.

Chen Profound Realm.

Chen Profound Realm, damn it!

In just over a month, from scratch to the Chen Profound Realm, and he's still not skilled?

Do you know that among the peak masters and elders of Xianjiang Sect, many have been cultivating for half their lives and are only at the Chen Profound Realm?

Damn it.

These master and disciple are a pair of A pair of show-offs!
