Chapter 176: Children’s Respect (1)
Translator: 549690339
Having experienced Jiuzhao Country before, Zhu Wuwan knew very well that the more notorious he was at this moment, the more shocking his fame would be in the future. Naturally, he would obtain more benefits.
It was just like when Zhu Wuyang was in the Nine Zhao Nation. Back then, many people had stepped on Zhu Wuyang’s head, but later on, they would praise him even higher, allowing Zhu Wuyang to earn a large sum of breakthrough stones.
In the Hundred Poisons Sect, such a bad reputation was nothing.
Along the way, he met many people who were pointing fingers at him. There were people from the Zhen Clan, forces of various surnames, and naturally, there were also people from the Zhu Clan. Their words were not pleasant to hear.
” That’s the martial arts prodigy that the Zhu Clan boasted about before. It’s said that he entered the path with martial arts when he was fourteen. Unfortunately, he didn’t have anyone to guide him and mistakenly cultivated the immortal path as martial arts. He used too many natural treasures and damaged his cultivation foundation. He can forget about stepping into the Foundation Establishment Realm in this lifetime. ”
” It’s such a pity that he could successfully enter the path with martial arts at the age of fourteen. Even if the talent of the immortal cultivator who entered the path with martial arts is a little poor, there is still a 90% chance that he will enter the Foundation Establishment stage in the future, or even the late stage of the Foundation Establishment stage. His combat power is comparable to a strong cultivator in the perfect Foundation Establishment stage. In this way, the Zhu Clan will have an additional pillar to support the sky. Now, it’s considered destroyed. ”
” In fact, the elders have been thinking of many ways to fix his cultivation foundation. Unfortunately, they didn’t find any good methods, so they could only give up for now. This is also a case of not being able to die if you don’t work hard. If you cultivate recklessly without knowing anything, you will blind a genius of our Zhu Clan. ”
“The Zhu family is really unlucky. At the critical moment of the ancestor’s death, they needed an overwhelming prodigy like Zhu Wanwan to boost their morale. I didn’t expect him to ruin his future. And Zhu Wanzi, that idiot, actually turned a huge contribution into punishment.”
With the help of these cultivators from various factions, Zhu Wuwan had gained a lot.
” Congratulations to the host for being mocked by Zhen Zhong for the first time in your life. You have obtained a breakthrough stone…”
” Congratulations to the host for being mocked by the Immortal Cultivator Huang Jianming for the first time in your life. You have received two Breakthrough Stones…”
” Congratulations to the host for being mocked by Zhu Ming for the first time in his life. You have received three Breakthrough Stones…”
What a group of hospitable immortal cultivators. They included the three major factions of the Hundred Poisons Sect and did not miss a single one of them. However, what made Zhu Wuyang feel a little strange was why the Zhen Clan had the least number of breakthrough stones after being mocked by the Zhu Clan’s immortal cultivators, followed by the neutral factions.
Could it be that being mocked by one’s own people left a deeper impression than being mocked by the enemy?
Zhu Wanwan shook his head and sped up toward Dazhu Peak. Zhu Wanzi lived on Dazhu Peak of Hundred Poisons Sect.
The natural energy of the Great Pillar Peak was considered average in the Hundred Poisons Sect. Most of the people who lived here were Qi Condensation cultivators of the Zhu Clan. As a ninth level Qi Condensation cultivator, Zhu Wanzi’s residence on the Great Pillar Peak wasn’t bad.
Moreover, it was inevitable that many Zhu Clan cultivators who did not know the truth would laugh at him here. It was a good thing that Zhu Wuyang could obtain more breakthrough stones.
Zhu Wanzi’s residence was near the peak of Dazhu Peak. It was a small courtyard that occupied hundreds of meters. There were fake mountains, flowing water, swaying bamboo forests, and blooming flowers…The environment was pretty good.
Zhu Wuan walked to the front of the courtyard and knocked on the door. Soon, a young man with a thin face opened the door.”Who is it?”
When he opened the courtyard door and saw Zhu Wuan, the skinny young man’s expression changed. “”Are you Zhu Wuyan?”
“It’s me. You must be my great-aunt’s son, Senior Zhu Wenhua. Hello, Senior Hua.” Zhu Wuyang said with a smile.
In the Zhu Clan, because the age of the clansmen was different, and the seniority was too messy, most clansmen addressed each other based on their strength. Those who were stronger were called seniors, and those who were weaker were called juniors. As a result, many younger ones were called seniors.
Of course, there were some clansmen who still addressed each other as relatives in order to get closer to each other, but this usually happened to powerful cultivators.
If those with low strength were to casually address each other as relatives, if they were not familiar with each other, it was very likely to attract cold words, especially those who were weak but had higher seniority.
For example, if Zhu Wanwan broke through to the Foundation Establishment Stage and met Zhu Wanzi, who was in the Qi Condensation Stage, for the first time, and Zhu Wanzi addressed her as her grandnephew, it would not be too much for Zhu Wanwan to teach her a lesson. The higher-ups of the Zhu Clan would not think that Zhu Wanwan had done anything wrong, even if Zhu Wanzi was indeed Zhu Wanwan’s great-aunt.
Although Zhu Wenhua’s strength was much weaker than his, the strength that Zhu Wuyan had revealed was also at the sixth level of the Aura Refining realm. In addition, Zhu Wanzi had done him a favor, so Zhu Wuyan would also call him senior.
It was just that this senior clearly didn’t like Zhu Wuyang. “”What’s so good about it? Thanks to you, our family is living quite well.”
” You’re truly a genius. You’ve treated the cultivation of the immortal path as the cultivation of the martial path. You’ve wasted your peerless talent and aptitude for nothing, and you’ve made our Zhu Clan a laughing stock. ”
Looking at Zhu Wenhua’s resentful face, Zhu Wuyang knew that Zhu Wanzi had even hidden her biological son from him and did not tell him the truth about Zhu Wuyang.
If not for that, Zhu Wenhua wouldn’t have said such words. From Zhu Wenhua’s words and expression, Zhu Wuwan could guess something.”Did something happen to Grandaunt?”
“Humph.” Zhu Wenhua snorted and said angrily, “” The clan blamed my mother for not doing her job properly and ruining you, a martial arts prodigy. Therefore, they sent her to Huoyuan Peak to deal with various medicinal herbs. ”
“My poor mother is already nearing the end of her life, but she still has to work hard. She can’t even live a stable life in her last few years. All of this is thanks to you.”
Zhu Wanwan was silent. Although Zhu Wenhua’s words were very rude, if he hadn’t asked Zhu Wanzi to help him hide the truth, not only would Zhu Wanzi not be punished, but she would also be rewarded handsomely by the Zhu Clan.
Zhu Wenhua was obviously implicated by this. He looked haggard and tired, so although his words were a little unpleasant, there was nothing wrong with them.
“I’m sorry!” Zhu Wuyang said apologetically.
“I…” Zhu Wenhua, who had wanted to say something, was momentarily speechless when he heard this.
Zhu Wenhua felt a little regretful when he saw Zhu Wuyang’s ashamed face and thought about what had happened to him.”Actually…Actually, you can’t be blamed for this. My mother was also in the wrong. You don’t have to apologize. Come in with me first. My mother doesn’t come back until late at night every day.”
