Am I the old man who's always by my apprentices' side?

Chapter 31 Absolutely not possible
"Oh……"

Zhang Chengdao gave a meaningful "oh".

It turns out that in the Great Xiao Kingdom, as long as money is available, everything is easy to fool.

No wonder Xu Ying, despite being from the State of Chu, chose to come to the State of Xiao in pursuit of martial arts; anything that can be solved with money is no problem!
After learning about some of the rules and regulations, Zhang Chengdao began to worry about the name of his sect.

Calling it Wudang, Quanzhen, or Longhu might sound imposing... but it's also a huge infringement!
As for Kongtong, Piaomiao, Penglai... they sound ethereal and otherworldly, but I always feel a lack of confidence when I say them!

I wanted to learn from many sects and name my sect after a place, but I felt that the two characters "Baishi" were not powerful enough. The three characters together, such as "Baishi Sect", "Baishi Clan" or "Baishi Gate", sounded even worse, like a makeshift troupe!
After much thought, Zhang Chengdao, who considered himself the founder of the first immortal cultivation sect in this martial arts and cultivation world, began to harbor some ambitions.

This entire cultivation system, derived from the game system of "Peach Blossom Spring 3", is a completely new cultivation system, which is very different from the martial arts cultivation in the original world!
I've come to your world to level you up! Why would I hide anything from you?
With this in mind, Zhang Chengdao simply decided to name the sect "Immortal Sect" and then add the place name, which became "White Stone Immortal Sect".

Simple, straightforward, and sophisticated enough that even Mr. Qian would praise it!

Once the name was chosen, Xu Ying was so excited that she went to town to have a plaque made and hung it under the eaves of the courtyard gate.

The heavy wooden plaque and the simple bamboo door were quite different in style, making them look rather strange. They also made Zhang Chengdao's originally rustic courtyard look more like a makeshift troupe. However, Xu Ying and Chang Ping'an were very happy.

Having decided on the name, Xu Ying took some money, told Zhang Chengdao, and then went to the county with Chang Ping'an, mainly to get their names registered in the branch office of the Wuzhishi Division.

Perhaps because there are many sects in Feihu County, there is indeed a Wuzhi Sub-Government Office—many remote small counties do not have such offices.

Having finally entered the branch office, Xu Ying straightened his back, took out a small purse stuffed with copper coins, handed it to the clerk, and said with a smile, "Our sect has few people and no property, please forgive us, sir."

The clerk tapped his small purse, grinned, and said, "It's alright, it's alright. Which sect has a large number of people right after it's established? They all grow little by little!"

As he spoke, the junior official began to methodically record the information about the sects...

"What's the name? 'White Stone Immortal Sect'? Hey! That name is... well, it's quite interesting!"

It seems the small purse had an effect, because the clerk didn't make things difficult for Xu Ying on this matter.

Then, he asked about the establishment time, the sect's location, and the corresponding land deeds, and even copied down the identity cards of Xu Ying and Chang Ping'an.

Fortunately, Xu Ying had made preparations in advance. He asked Liu Dahu from Huiyou Escort Agency to help him obtain the deed to Baishi Mountain. The only price was a bowl of lean meat soup that he snatched from Chang Ping'an's mouth. Master Liu really wanted to taste the "celestial food".

This was a divine food bestowed by the immortal Zhang. Xu Ying drank it with utmost care each time, but Chang Ping'an drank it like a cow, consuming seven or eight bowls at a time, which was a complete waste!
But when it came to assessing cultivation levels, something went wrong.

“Your sect leader… um, you said he’s a hermit, so it’s fine that he doesn’t have an identity card. We can just keep a file here for now, and he can come back to complete the registration process later…”

The clerk's face flushed with anger: "But what are you saying? That his cultivation level can't be assessed? How can it not be assessed? If it can't be assessed, how can he establish a sect? Ridiculous!"

Chang Ping'an retorted confidently, "If it can't be assessed, it can't be assessed. My master is a terrestrial immortal; how can he be compared to a bunch of mortals!"

Xu Ying forcefully pulled Chang Ping'an behind him before smiling obsequiously at the clerk, "Please forgive me, our sect leader is indeed an immortal. As for the ranking... how about this, you report it upwards, just report it as Grandmaster!" As he spoke, he sighed softly, "Alas, in fact, our sect leader is far more than a Grandmaster! It's just that the best ranking in the world is only Grandmaster, so we can only barely set it as Grandmaster!"

"pat-"

The clerk's pen fell to the ground and rolled several times.

But instead of picking it up, he stood there dumbfounded, doubting his own ears.

"What did you say? Big what?"

The minor official found it utterly absurd, then flew into a rage, his voice cracking with fury: "Grandmaster Realm!? You're saying your sect leader is a Grandmaster Realm!?"

These two are probably just messing with themselves!

"To be precise, it far surpasses the Grandmaster realm!"

Chang Ping'an corrected him, dissatisfied, and couldn't help but mutter, "I already told you my master is a deity! A true terrestrial deity!"

"This is absolutely impossible!"

The minor official spoke decisively, even raising his voice, shouting, "Guards! Throw these two out! I'm absolutely furious!"

The little purse from before was no longer effective, and now Xu Ying was getting anxious: "Hey, hey, no, we're telling the truth! Our sect leader is really at least a Grandmaster!"

The clerk sneered, "Hmph! Grandmaster realm! If the sect leader and the master are both Grandmaster realm, then wouldn't he, the disciple, be a Venerable One? Do you two think I'm stupid?"

"To be honest, Ping An is indeed our sect leader's only disciple for the time being. It's hard to say whether he's at the Grandmaster level, but as for the Venerable level... he should be close enough?"

As Xu Ying spoke, she tilted her head slightly and looked at Chang Ping'an for confirmation.

He personally witnessed Chang Ping'an cripple Du Jingshan, the head elder of the Sword Forging Manor, with a single palm strike!
That's the head elder of the Sword Forging Manor! A master with a cultivation level of at least fifth rank!
Such terror must be attributed to at least a fourth-grade Acquired Venerable!
Thinking this, seeing the two men in black uniforms from the branch office approaching, Xu Ying hurriedly urged, "Quick, Ping An, show us what you've got!"

Chang Ping'an suddenly realized what was going on, and immediately drew his simple broadsword, shouted, and swung it towards the ground.

Suddenly, a strange gust of wind arose, followed by a slash of light golden sword energy from the broadsword. Then, a sound of bricks and stones shattering was heard, and a huge, bottomless crack appeared in the ground.

The two clerks who rushed over were stunned on the spot. The clerk, who had been furious and thought he had been tricked, was also speechless with astonishment.

Although he couldn't tell what level of cultivation this person possessed that could tear the earth apart, it was definitely not an ordinary person!

At least since he took up his post as a minor official in this sub-district, none of the ranked martial artists he had ever met could do this!
However, the idea that the leader of a sect with only three members is a Grandmaster still sounds too abstract!
