I’m Eight. Surely I Can Establish A Sect, Right? - Chapter 36

Chapter 36 Upper Three Heavens

“Dad!” When they were about to leave, Ye Yan suddenly pulled Ye Dahai’s sleeve, indicating for him to wait for a while. The latter looked at him in confusion.

“Dad, come here for a moment. I have something to tell you,” Ye Yan’s voice was so low that only Ye Dahai could hear it.

“What’s going on?” Ye Dahai walked over and asked.

Ye Yan didn’t say anything. He took Ye Dahai into a corner and took out a cloth bag after making sure that no one was around.

“Dad, put the money in this bag!” As he said this, Ye Yan opened the cloth bag, indicating Ye Dahai to put the money in.

Ye Dahai was speechless. For a moment, he couldn’t help but weigh the money bag in his hand that was half the size of his upper body, then looked at the cloth bag that was less than half the size of his palm in Ye Yan’s hand. His face turned gloomy.

“Damn it, this little brat is trying to fool around with me!” Ye Dahai thought and was about to lose his temper, but he suddenly remembered that his son was already a cultivator. He felt that there was probably something special about the bag, so he put the money bag into the cloth bag with a dubious look. Whoosh! It was smooth and fast! He had only used a little force, and the entire money bag was stuffed into the cloth bag!

“Eh? A treasure!” Ye Dahai’s eyes widened when he saw this. He couldn’t help but sigh at the convenience of celestial cultivation.

On the other side, Ye Dayang and Ms. Chen, who had finished packing up, were about to set off when they realized that their younger brother had been pulled into an alley by their little nephew.

After a long while, the two of them walked out. However, Ye Dayang noticed that Ye Dahai’s face was full of smiles as if he had encountered something good.

As for his little nephew, no matter how he looked at him, he felt that the other party seemed a little strange. When everything was ready, the few of them set off. Ye Yan was planning to find a restaurant to have a meal with his dad, uncle, and auntie. After all, he made so much money today.

However, they didn’t see a decent restaurant along the way in Qianhua Town. The roadside stalls were filled with vegetarian buns and preserved vegetables that they were used to eating.

It couldn’t be helped. Qianhua Town wasn’t a very rich place. At mealtime, they simply squatted on the roadside and started to eat the dried food that they had brought from home.

Ye Yan stuffed the dry food into his mouth quickly, then went to the nearby grocery store to buy some paint. The paint was very expensive in this era. Although Ye Yan didn’t buy much, he spent more than 300 copper coins in one go!

The owner of the shop was so eloquent that even Ye Yan didn’t get many advantages over him, so he had to pay the original price. His heart ached! 50 coppers per person, so 300 or so copper coins would be enough for six or seven people.

Although the money was something he could earn with just a spell, the mouths he had cleaned had only been washed with water for

decades. They had all kinds of cavities and odors, which made Ye Yan very uncomfortable

throughout the process.

And the next time he came, there might not be

so many people coming to him to buy his product. After all, there were only so many

people in Qianhua Town who could afford to brush their teeth. Once their teeth were clean,

they would not need it next time.

Ye Yan didn’t want to spend money at first, but

the sect hall couldn’t just be made of broken bricks and tiles, it needed some decorations. The appearance was a big problem. His God-slaying Sect was going to be a huge faction in the future, so it had to be pretentious.

After getting the paint, Ye Yan kept it in the internal storage like it was a treasure, and then went back to meet up with Ye Dahai and the

others, ready to leave.

When they were about to reach the city gates, something happened. He saw a large group of people gathered outside, and from time to time, people from the government would walk through the crowd. With his superior vision, Ye Yan soon saw what they were doing.

Every time the officials arrived at a street, one of them would take out a notice and stick it to

the wall. The rest of the officials would continue to the next street.

One of them would stay behind and turn around to gather the crowd. He pointed at the

notice and began to read, “Pay attention, pay attention! Everyone knows about the Upper Three Heavens, right? The celestial sect that

belongs to our prefecture has come to the secular world to recruit disciples! This only happens once every 30 years! It is a rare opportunity! In the past, they’ve always recruited people in the prefecture or at least in

the county. This time, they’re here in Qianhua

Town, which is a rare opportunity. God knows when will be the next time.”

“There are conditions for recruitment. They

want boys and girls under the age of eight. Do all of you understand now? I’ll say it again, this is a once-in-a-thousand-years opportunity!

Fellow villagers, don’t miss this! If you’re interested, go home and make your preparations. Bring your children to our town’s market in ten days!”

As soon as he finished speaking, the crowd exploded into a commotion. Many people had questions about this celestial sect.

“Respected Official, what is a celestial sect?”

“Is a celestial sect the sect of a celestial? ” “Recruiting disciples? Is the celestial sect a powerful place? To think it dared to come recruiting disciples. Never mind that, but what’s the use of recruiting eight-year-olds?”

“You don’t even know this?” The official was speechless. It seemed that he had still underestimated the ignorance of this group of

people.

He cleared his throat and explained, “The celestial sect is a very powerful place. Do you know about celestials? The Eighth Celestial and the Moon Celestial whom you worship are all celestials. The celestials with great magical powers were raised in the celestial sects! Think

about it, dear villagers. If your child was fancied by a celestial sect and taken in, your

child would then have good food every day and even be enlightened by the celestial. If your child inherited the celestial spells, wouldn’t that be a great opportunity? It’s said that once one achieves success, even his chickens and dogs will rise to heaven. Think about it, when

the time comes, you can tell everyone in the streets and alleys that your child has become the disciple of a celestial. How awe-inspiring!” “Respected official, please don’t bluff us. Do

the celestials in operas really exist? I’ve heard that celestials have remarkable abilities, and it’s not a problem for them to soar into the sky

or dive into the sea. They can even hit an ox across the mountain!”

Very quickly, there were voices of doubt in the audience. Many people were very concerned about this matter.

They were all ordinary people, especially in a small town like Qianhua Town. They didn’t have much contact with the outside world and

didn’t even know what a celestial sect was.

“That’s right! Why would I lie to you?” The official was not annoyed. This question seemed to have aroused his interest. He immediately sat down and began to explain while his eyebrows danced, “My position as an official was passed down by my grandfather. My grandfather was transferred to the prefecture to be an official a long time ago. He told me

that he had seen it with his own eyes when the celestial sect was recruiting people in the past… He had really seen it with his own eyes! At that time, many celestials had appeared. Do you know? They stepped on their swords and flew directly into the sky! They flew!”

“They hovered in the sky while looking at the children on the ground. Once any of the children caught their eyes, they would wave

their hands and the child would seem to have been caught by a huge hand. A cloud of white

smoke would float down and wrap around the child. Then, the celestial would simply raise his hand and the child would soar too! Don’t you think it’s magical?”
