Chapter 83: Three sects want to set fire to the mountain?
"This text is quite suitable for that special era in my previous life; it's a pretty good propaganda piece. No wonder it ranks among the top three in the 'Life' category."
That's right, it's too long, it consumes too much spiritual energy.
Moreover, it focuses too much on suffering and willpower, neglecting a part of human nature.
Which is clearer, more assertive, and more relatable: "achieving success" or "becoming superior"?
Moreover, judging from Zhao Mingtong's expression, he clearly understands the difference.
So Wang Yan felt sorry for him: "I can see from your eyes that you've admitted defeat. Don't say you admire me."
Zhao Mingtong glared at him resentfully, his jaw clenched, and he remained silent.
Young man, you're still too young!
Wang Yan thought for a moment, then generously offered some guidance: "Your thinking hasn't completely broken out of its habitual patterns yet. When writing divine texts in the future, think more about breaking conventions! I still need to learn how to write the character for 'divine,' so I won't keep you company!"
Now, Zhao Mingtong is no longer his opponent, so there's no need to keep suppressing him.
As Wang Yan went upstairs, he heard Zhao Mingtong shouting loudly from below, "Wang Yan, I admit you won this time, but I will definitely write a divine piece that surpasses yours! You wait!"
Wang Yan smiled, didn't turn around, and continued upstairs, simply waving his hand: "Okay, I'll be waiting!"
Young Master Zhao is still too proud to admit his mistake!
It's okay, keep trying even after repeated failures, it's acceptable!
He then steadily entered the house.
He wasn't very pleased with himself.
After all, these are the achievements of those literary giants from his previous life, and he is now just shamelessly borrowing them.
If he wrote it himself, it would definitely be better than Zhao Mingtong's, but it wouldn't be as good as this sentence that was copied on the spot.
A few breaths later, the system frequently sent notifications that someone had redeemed the item.
The sea of consciousness expands outwards in waves.
"There are many wealthy people in the sect. So many people are coming to exchange their goods so quickly. Is it because my products, Wang Yan's, have become a golden brand?"
Wang Yan was quite pleased, but he refrained from looking at it and continued to lie on the stone table, "diligently" writing the new character for "god".
Half a cup of tea later, there was a gentle knock on the door.
"Please come in!" Wang Yan reluctantly put down the stone nail in his hand and looked up to respond.
The big shots here are quite well-mannered; even though their cultivation levels are higher than his, they still remember to knock on the door...
A gentle breeze blew in, and Qin Bilian entered with a beaming smile, his face radiant with pride: "Little fellow, not bad! You've created another divine script that ranks first!"
The system notification flashed before his eyes, indicating that Master Qin had just exchanged for the "Superior Man" set of divine runes.
Wang Yan politely stood up from the table and frankly admitted, "Actually, the day after I wrote the character '耐' (nài, meaning patience/endurance), I put together this passage and have been using it ever since, but I haven't reported it. Today, after being provoked by Zhao Mingtong, I'm too lazy to use anything else."
"No pain, no gain!" Master Qin praised, "Simple yet apt. The combination of the three divine words 'superior person' is excellent!"
Oh, so you finally understand the beauty of this sentence?
Wang Yan smiled faintly: "Back then, I hadn't learned many characters related to 'god,' so naturally I used the simplest one. But I also think it's excellent; its effect in my sea of consciousness is much stronger than the part about learning about the God Temple!"
"Therefore, this sentence cannot be made freely available to the public for the time being." Grandmaster Qin raised his hand and tapped the table seriously: "Let's put it aside for now and see how many disciples are willing to exchange for it!"
Wang Yan could understand. This kind of morale-boosting "life" type divine script is different from combat skills, and many disciples might not be willing to spend points to exchange for it.
"Ding! Your application for 'No pain, no gain' has been successfully redeemed by Xuanpo Realm disciple XXX."
Immediately afterwards, the system kept notifying that at least thirty disciples within the sect had exchanged for this divine script.
I don't recognize many of them.
Wang Yan remained outwardly calm, but was actually quite surprised.
Then Qin Bilian said, "Actually, Zhao Mingtong isn't bad either, just slightly worse than you. You need to be careful; he knows many more 'divine' characters than you. Perhaps one day, he'll understand your style and surpass you."
Wang Yan was slightly surprised, then smiled: "Grandmaster, shall we make a bet? I will definitely surpass Zhao Mingtong in the ability to write the character 'Divine'!"
"You have the Xuanpo skill, he has the Xuandong skill. You can spend all day learning to write divine characters, while he has to do half a day of chores. Do you think I'm so stupid as to make this bet with you?" Qin Bilian raised an eyebrow, feigning surprise. "In your mind, am I stupid?"
"Oh dear, I was just testing you, I didn't expect you wouldn't fall for it!" Wang Yan chuckled. "The divine script I can write in the future will definitely surpass everyone else in our sect!"
"Good, that's ambitious. I'll be waiting for you to surpass me!" Qin Bilian clearly didn't believe him, but still raised his eyebrows and casually agreed.
Just then, Deacon Xiao Jin suddenly pushed open the door with a solemn expression. His voice was urgent, his speech was rapid, and it was filled with suppressed anger.
"Grandmaster, those three sects have started setting the mountain on fire! They're starting from the outermost edge, and our concealment formations can't cover it. Should we send disciples out to stop them?"
"What?" Master Qin's smile vanished in astonishment, and after a few breaths, his sword-like eyebrows shot up in anger, his eyes flashing with a fierce and piercing light. He demanded sharply, "How dare they be so audacious?"
The mysterious energy in the air flowed outwards due to his sudden outburst of rage.
A vacuum suddenly formed within a two-meter radius around him.
Wang Yan immediately sensed the thinness of the air, quickly suppressed his smile, and took two steps back.
Once he could breathe easily, Wang Yan looked at the anxious-looking Deacon Jin in astonishment, a surge of uncontrollable rage rising within him: "Damn it! How dare they?"
In Wang Yan's mind, the forest fire ban from his previous life was already a deeply ingrained environmental and safety practice.
Now, someone is deliberately setting fire to the mountain?
This is just as sinister and outrageous as flooding towns with many inhabitants!
"How much do these three sects want to destroy the Cloud Cauldron Sect? They're resorting to such shameless methods, treating life like dirt!"
"No, we absolutely cannot let these people succeed!"
Wang Yan felt a burning rage in his chest, an urge to immediately pick up a weapon and have a fierce fight with these people.
He immediately clasped his hands in a fist salute and earnestly volunteered for the mission: "Grandmaster, we can't let them set the mountain on fire! If you can't spare anyone to stop them, I can!"
"You?" Qin Bilian was taken aback, looked at him in surprise, and then shook his head decisively: "You've just entered the Profound Breaking Realm, and your combat skills aren't quite there yet..."
Yes, I'm not very skilled in combat techniques.
That's why we need to practice more.
Since the people sent by these three sects are all low-level disciples, I can go and fight them first to hone my skills.
While you're at it, give those mystical gold paper talismans a try!
Thinking of this, Wang Yan insisted, "Grandmaster, I went to Mangshe Mountain with Senior Brother Qiao and Di Nan, and killed a first-tier white-tailed wolf. I have practical combat experience!"
"Furthermore, I have the magical artifact you bestowed upon me, which allows me to escape quickly, and I also have so many profound energy talismans at my disposal. I can secretly disguise myself as a disciple of those three sects and cause trouble inside. In short, we absolutely cannot let them start the fire!"
Qin Bilian narrowed his eyes slightly, a strange yet admiring glint in his gaze: "You're really not afraid?"
