Chapter 403: Chapter 281: Turning Stone into Gold, Martial Arts Dao Academy Starts!
“Wang Wei!”
“Your talent is excellent, so don’t waste the gift that heaven has bestowed upon you!”
“Our Yuanxuan Daoist Temple is the richest Daoist sect in Da Xia, as long as you’re willing to join our temple, we’ll immediately provide you with a three-bedroom apartment in Yue Province… You can even bring your family to live with you.”
“Also, we can provide you with one million living expenses every year for your family!”
“As long as you can join Yuanxuan Daoist Temple, I can then take you as my direct disciple, teaching you day and night. With your qualifications, it shouldn’t take long for you to enter Daoism, and it’s not impossible for you to step into the Divine Transcendence Realm in the future!”
Inside the four-people dormitory.
Several Daoist priests continuously threw out tempting conditions.
Wang Wei’s three roommates were all shocked.
A three-bedroom apartment in Yue Province?
What concept is that?
In a good location, it wouldn’t be available for less than 7 or 8 million!
And one million annual living expenses…
What kind of concept is that?
No need to work, and still receive a million yearly salary!
In today’s bad economic environment, even though masters of business administration are not worried about finding work, achieving an annual salary of one million… it might be impossible, even in thirty years of work.
Wang Wei was also surprised.
Unlike most graduate students.
He was quite sturdy in build, around 1.8 meters tall, with various small fitness equipment on the head of his bed. With a crew-cut, he gave off a very energetic vibe.
After opening and closing his mouth repeatedly, he eventually asked: “Is… is this real?”
Wang Wei himself might not have realized that his voice had become hoarse.
It’s normal, though.
Wang Wei was born in the countryside in a family of modest means. Over the years, his father rented a store in the county town of his hometown to make roasted bread. Although the situation was much better than it was in his childhood, it still wouldn’t be easy to save up one million throughout ten years of hard work!
“Of course it’s true.”
The elder from the Yuanxuan Daoist Temple directly took out a contract: “In this day and age, everything is based on contracts. If you’re not reassured, we can sign a contract and then get it notarized!”
“Wang Wei, why are you still hesitating?”
His roommate promptly handed over a pen, urging: “Hurry up and sign!”
Wang Wei came back to his senses, picked up the pen, and was about to sign when a knocking sound came from the door.
The door wasn’t locked.
After knocking twice, it was pushed open.
Xu Yang stepped in, his gaze directly falling on Wang Wei, smiling: “You must be Wang Wei, right? We connected on live stream last night.”
“Ah!”
Wang Wei jumped up, dropping the pen from his hand, excitedly exclaiming: “You… you are Master Xu?”
“Master Xu!”
“It’s really Master Xu!”
Wang Wei’s other three roommates also showed overjoyed expressions.
One of them even went up to shake hands with Xu Yang excitedly: “Master Xu, we’re all your fans. We’ve watched all the videos related to you online dozens of times… especially the one of you practicing sword under a waterfall, it was simply too awesome!”
For a moment.
The three Daoist priests of Yuanxuan Daoist Temple were left hanging aside.
As people of the Daoist sect, they naturally recognized Xu Yang.
Especially the middle-aged Daoist priest who led them, it wasn’t his first time meeting Xu Yang. He immediately piled up a face full of smiles and said: “Master Xu… what a coincidence! I didn’t expect to meet you here?”
Xu Yang glanced at him.
Seeing this Daoist priest had a chubby face and looked somewhat familiar, but couldn’t remember where he saw him before,
he said, “Who are you? Do we know each other?”
“Uh!”
The Daoist priest’s smile froze, his face twitched imperceptibly. The smile was visibly awkward as he said: “Master Xu, you really are a forgetful nobleman… Zongsheng Palace, Daoist skills Conference, we have met before.”
“You are… ”
“Master Huang?”
Xu Yang finally remembered.
The man in front of him had the surname Huang, was from Yuanxuan Daoist Temple, and was said to have a close relationship with the Lu Shan Sect. He had even secretly sneaked into Xu Yang’s room once. Xu Yang’s face showed a look of disgust: “Master Huang, instead of staying in Yuanxuan Daoist Temple to practice Daoism, what are you doing here?”
Master Huang smiled: “I came for Wang Wei, of course.”
At this point.
There was nothing to hide anymore.
Moreover…
The matter about Wang Wei originated from a disciple of Yuanxuan Daoist Temple who happened to watch Xu Yang’s live stream and heard about Wang Wei in the chatroom.
Xu Yang frowned.
He turned to Master Huang and asked, “How did your Yuanxuan Daoist Temple find out about Wang Wei?”
Master Huang said, “Our Yuanxuan Daoist Temple is a Daoist sect of Yue Province. A genius like Wang Wei emerging from Yue Province would naturally not go unnoticed by the informants of our Temple.”
“Heh.”
Your Yuanxuan Daoist Temple, neither too early nor too late, just found Wang Wei after my live streaming session with him yesterday?
Xu Yang sneered but didn’t bother exposing him.
Instead, he said: “Master Huang, I also came for Wang Wei… As you know, my Jingming Sect is now in decline and needs to replenish fresh blood.”
Master Huang shook his head with difficulty: “Master Xu…”
He was about to speak but was interrupted by Xu Yang.
“Hmph!”
“Master Huang, don’t be shameless!”
“You know perfectly well how your Yuanxuan Daoist Temple found Wang Wei. If I hadn’t come, you could have recruited Wang Wei, but now that I’m here, you still want to compete with me?”
As he spoke, the Daoist aura around him leaked slightly.
Master Huang’s face changed slightly, and he trembled. He had to activate his Daoist skills to feel a bit better.
