Son, Put Your Father To The Test - Chapter 37

Chapter 37: So Father did it for me

Translator: Zayn_

The voice echoed like thunder. Countless people in Minghao City raised their heads and revealed respectful expressions.

“Seven Martial Sect!”

“One of the six great sects of the dynasty that has been passed down for more than three thousand years. This is a truly enormous figure!”

“The Seven Martial Sect’s Great Elder personally came. Could it be that he wants to recruit Lord Qin Chuan?”

“Most likely. Lord Qin Chuan’s combat strength is comparable to a ninth level Nirvana realm martial artist, and he has even cultivated the Nirvana Golden Body. Which faction wouldn’t want to recruit such a person?”

“Then why isn’t there any news from the imperial family and the other five great sects?”

“Hehe, you don’t know about this, right? The imperial family and the six great sects have an agreement with each other.”

“All the young people who belong to the imperial family, such as the descendants of the four great palaces, the five armies, the three dukes, the nine aristocratic families, and the thirty-six city lords cannot join the six great sects.”

“And the six great sects have also divided their sphere of influence. No matter what they do, they must not cross the boundary.”

“The area where our Minghao City is located happens to be the sphere of influence of the Seven Martial Sect. The other great forces cannot interfere.”

There was no lack of enlightened emperors[1] in the crowd.

They were nameless and could not even be considered as extras. However, they silently explained the whole process.

At this moment, the huge roc landed in Qin Chuan’s courtyard.

“Hua!”

The moment it landed, the inertia brought by the huge body instantly stirred up a gust of strong wind, causing the entire courtyard to be filled with dust.

“Greetings, Senior Qin Chuan!”

“Greetings, Senior Qin Chuan!”

Dozens of imposing young men and women jumped down from the back of the great roc and knelt on one knee as they called out respectfully.

Meanwhile, an old man in a white robe also landed on the ground. He had a sturdy build and was full of energy. In the middle of his snow-white silver hair, there was actually a red braid that was particularly eye-catching.

“I am Jia Tianhe, the Grand Elder of the Seven Martial sect. Please don’t blame me for disturbing you.”

The old man said with a smile.

Although he had a smile on his face, there was a faintly discernible aura from his body, which made people feel a little depressed.

This was the aura of Heaven realm!

“A visitor is a guest. Please come in.”

Qin Chuan bent down and made a “Please” gesture. Then, he said to Qin Zi, “Little Zi, make some tea.”

“Okay!”

Qin Zi said cheerfully and then ran into the house.

“Hehe, this must be Qin Zi. He broke through to the Pure Yang realm at such a young age. The younger generation is really awesome.”

Jia Tianhe stroked his beard with his right hand and praised.

“It’s just luck.”

Qin Chuan said humbly. However, he was still very happy that someone praised his cheap son.

“Brother Qin Chuan, actually, the purpose of my visit this time is to invite you to join the Seven Martial sect. What do you think?”

Jia Tianhe went straight to the point.

Qin Chuan pondered for a moment and asked, “I want to know, what benefits will I get from joining the Seven Martial Sect?”

“Hahaha, of course there will be benefits.”

Jia Tianhe laughed. He was not angry at all. Instead, he liked this kind of straightforwardness.

Without thinking, he said, “The Seven Martial Sect has been around for more than 3,000 years. Its foundation is beyond the imagination of ordinary people. If you join the Seven Martial Sect, you will get very rich resources… It is definitely beyond your imagination.”

“I don’t have a high demand for resources.”

Qin Chuan shook his head calmly.

His cultivation was passive. What resources did he need? And his cheap son had a way of making money[2], so he did not lack resources.

“Ah?”

Jia Tianhe was stunned. He didn’t expect that someone would say that he didn’t lack resources. Even he didn’t dare to say that!

However, he was an experienced man after all. He quickly reacted and said, “My Seven Martial sect still has many ancient books and cultivation insights left behind by the seniors. They can help you break through to the Heaven realm as soon as possible.”

Qin Chuan thought for a moment and said in a low-key tone, “How difficult is it for me to break through to the Heaven realm?”

Pfft!

This sentence almost made this Heaven realm expert, who did not know what Versailles[3] was, spit blood on the spot.

However, he thought carefully and found that… it seemed to be true. After all, he had already cultivated the Nirvana Golden Body!

He took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, “Brother Qin Chuan, although it’s not a problem for you to break through to the Heaven realm, you should know that the higher your cultivation, the more difficult it will be. One step at a time, one pit after another.

“After many people break through to the Heaven realm, they will be stuck at the first level of the Heaven realm for the rest of their lives until they die of old age.

“As for our Seven Martial Sect, there are countless cultivation insights and experiences left behind by our predecessors. It will definitely help you avoid many detours.”

Hearing this, Qin Chuan fell into deep thought.

Of course, it was an act.

In fact, he had long decided to join the Seven Martial Sect. After all, the more crouching tigers and hidden dragons were, the more suitable it was for his son to stir up trouble!

However, he could not agree too quickly.

Just like buying vegetables, he had to haggle the price. Although he did not lack that bit of money, he could not lose his attitude towards life.

After a long while, he took a deep breath and asked in a deep voice, “If I join, what position can you give me?”

“How about an Elder? Someone with real power.”

Jia Tianhe said, “The Third Elder of our Seven Martial Sect suffered a relapse and retired half a year ago. The position of the Third Elder has been vacant. If you join, you can directly take over.”

“I don’t want this.”

Qin Chuan shook his head with a smile and said, “Compared to the elder with real power, I prefer to be an elder who eats leisurely.”

“After all, as I’ve said before, I don’t need much resources, and I don’t need to use my position to make money. If I don’t care about anything, I can focus on my cultivation with less intrigue.”

Jia Tianhe was shocked, and then overjoyed!

Originally, given the position of the third elder, he was under enormous pressure. After all, the benefits involved were too great.

Now, Qin Chuan had taken the initiative to reject him. For a moment, he actually felt a sense of happiness as if he had obtained a gift.

“Good! Then I will make the decision and let you become the only Honorary Elder of the Seven Martial Sect.”

“Other than having no real power, the Honorary Elder is no different from the other elders in terms of status and treatment.”

He said with a bold smile.

“I have another condition,” Qin Chuan said.

“What condition?”

Jia Tianhe was in a good mood, so he was very patient.

“Let my son Qin Zi become a core disciple directly and enjoy all the treatment that a core disciple should have.”

Qin Chuan said firmly.

“This…”

Jia Tianhe hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, “It’s human nature to love your son so much… I promise you.”

“Okay, I’ll join the Seven Martial Sect,” Qin Chuan said with a smile.

“Welcome!”

Jia Tianhe also smiled, and he was very happy.

The disciples of the Seven Martial Sect who were accompanying him also congratulated him.

“We welcome Elder Qin Chuan to the Seven Martial Sect!”

“We welcome Elder Qin Chuan to the Seven Martial Sect!”

Their voices were very loud, and it almost spread across half of Minghao City. Many people’s hearts trembled and they were in awe.

In their eyes, Qin Chuan was already so powerful, and now he had the status of an elder of the Seven Martial Sect.

It was like adding wings to a tiger!

They could almost see a big shot whose name would shake the Nine Sun Dynasty begin to rise up in power…

“Brother Qin Chuan, if there’s nothing else, I’ll take my leave first. In three days, the sect will hold a ceremony for you. At that time, many people will come to watch the ceremony. I hope you’ll arrive on time.”

After a long while, Jia Tianhe instructed.

“Okay.”

Qin Chuan nodded.

“See you in three days!”

Jia Tianhe said and then jumped onto the back of the great roc. The dozens of disciples of the Seven Martial Sect who were used to support the scene also jumped onto it.

Whoosh!

The great roc rose up with the wind and soared up to 90,000 miles. Soon, it broke through the air and flew away.

At this time, Qin Zi came out with a tea tray.

“Father, this tea…”

He wanted to say something but hesitated.

Qin Chuan looked down at him and said, “Little Zi, from now on, we will live in the Seven Martial Sect.”

“Father, why do you want to join the Seven Martial Sect?”

Qin Zi was a little puzzled.

His father didn’t lack resources, nor did he lack cultivation manuals. He also didn’t need a backer. Why did he join the sect?

“Haha, people go higher places, and water flows to lower ones. I should let you see the world.”

Qin Chuan said with a smile, “Although there is nothing great in the Nine Sun Dynasty, relatively speaking, the Seven Martial Sect is still more advanced than Minghao City.”

“Going to the Seven Martial Sect is more beneficial to your growth.”

Qin Zi’s heart immediately warmed up when he heard this. It turned out that his father did it for him!
