The Leisurely Life of a Young Man in the World of Cultivation

"Everyone who is about to have their spiritual root tested, please line up here. This is the very back of the line!"

At the spirit-testing event, Lu Changfeng held up a small flag and kept weaving through the crowd.

Watching the boys, all just over ten years old and dressed in fine silks and satins, go from being unruly at first to obediently lining up, Lu Changfeng finally let out a long sigh.

"Damn, thank goodness the Luoyun Chamber of Commerce is also undergoing renovations these days."

"Otherwise, I would have had at least 50 low-grade spirit stones deducted from my salary for these three days."

Previously, he and Lao Dengguang had been thinking about inheriting the family's small courtyard, but they forgot that all disciples who joined the sect had to participate in the Spirit Testing Conference as assistants in their first year.

Because the job wasn't dangerous, and it was only the first year, with the option to not go afterward, the habit persisted.

Perhaps this is the price of becoming a landlord!

Then he went back to the back of the line, waving his little flag and shouting again.

"Line up! Everyone line up! Don't cut in line! Everyone can take the test!"

……

However, to his surprise, despite his own shouting, a little kid dressed in gold clothes ignored him and walked right past.

That's outrageous! Our own people are right here, and they dare to cut in line right in front of us!

Damn it! How could I possibly tolerate this?

"Hey, you over there, dressed like a golden retriever, what are you doing cutting in line? Get in line here!"

As he spoke, he stopped the golden-haired chicken that was ignoring him.

However, the golden-haired chicken looked arrogant and scolded Lu Changfeng, who was blocking his way.

"How dare you! I am the son of the Prince of Jin of the Great Zhou Dynasty! How dare you stop me?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Changfeng couldn't help but snort coldly.

"The son of the King of Jin? Even if you're the son of a beast, you'd better line up for me today!"

Pfft!

As soon as Lu Changfeng said this, many of the young men and women who were queuing up around him burst into laughter.

But then came the worry that this matter might affect them, and obviously many people knew what kind of situation this Prince Jin was.

However, Lu Changfeng was not flustered at all after discovering this.

The Heavenly Star Sect's Spirit Testing Ceremony is divided into a minor year and a major year. The minor year is held once a year, and those who wish to be tested must come to Heavenly Star City.

The Lunar New Year comes once every ten years. At that time, the sect will send many disciples to the local area to test their spiritual roots and then bring back the disciples who are willing to join the sect.

This year is a "Lesser Year" (a year considered unlucky for spiritual roots), so those who can come here to test their spiritual roots need considerable financial resources; it's normal for them to have some connections.

But from the way I became an outer disciple of the Tianxing Sect, I know that as long as you have a little bit of Tianxing Sect background, a clean background, and spiritual roots, you can join the sect anytime, anywhere.

Therefore, those who can queue here don't have any cultivation background.

However, the golden-haired chicken didn't get angry; instead, it laughed.

"You little cultivator, how dare you publicly humiliate my father! You are utterly audacious!"

"However, considering this is your first time, and it happened on official business, you may be spared the death penalty, but you won't escape punishment. Go and receive one hundred lashes, and I'll let it go!"

"Go and summon your sect leader now. Tell him that Li Mingfei, the son of the King of Jin, has come to become a disciple. Tell him to come out and receive him immediately."

As he spoke, he waved his hand, giving me a look that said, "Go and inform me right away."

Upon hearing this, not only was Lu Changfeng stunned, but all the men and women queuing around him were also stunned!

Good grief! Didn't he do any research before coming here?

This is the Heavenly Star Sect, a Nascent Soul sect. The sect leader is a peak Nascent Soul expert. You, some mere Brocade King, really think you're something special?

They thought this guy had some impressive background because he was showing off, but they didn't expect him to be just plain ignorant!

Snapped!

"Hey, what are you doing?"

The golden-haired chicken, clutching its head, angrily questioned Lu Changfeng.

"What are you going to do? I'll fucking hit you!"

Clap clap clap!

"I'll spare you the death penalty, but you won't escape punishment!"

"So you've summoned the sect leader, haven't you!"

"You're going to get a hundred lashes, huh!"

For a moment, Lu Changfeng's slaps echoed one after another. Although he did not use spiritual power, the golden-haired chicken was already bruised and swollen after he stopped.

However, the golden-haired rooster, still unconvinced after being beaten, showed surprise and delight upon seeing the steward and soldiers rushing over from afar.

"Great! Butler, Butler Li, I'm here! I'm here!"

After Butler Li arrived, the golden-haired chicken raised its bruised and swollen face with pride.

"Hmph, you had a good time just now, didn't you? Now you're finished!"

"Steward Li, it was him! How dare he lay a hand on me and insult my father! He deserves to die!"

"Have him arrested right now!"

Upon hearing this, the soldiers who had rushed over with Steward Li rushed out to try and subdue Lu Changfeng, but were stopped by Steward Li in the next moment.

"Young master, this place is not like the royal palace. Could you please let me know what exactly happened?"

He knew exactly what his young master was going to do the moment he bent over. The other party didn't even know his prince, so why would he curse him for no reason?

Thinking of this, he hurriedly went to Lu Changfeng.

"Greetings, esteemed immortal master. Could you please tell me what exactly happened just now?"

Although the Prince of Jin is just a prince from a mortal kingdom, most Qi Refining cultivators are not afraid of him. If it really wasn't his young master's fault, he would definitely make the other party pay the price.

Seeing Butler Li's expression, Lu Changfeng couldn't help but laugh.

That's interesting. He wasn't angry about the golden chicken incident earlier. After all, he was just a ten-year-old child. Call him arrogant or ignorant, but he'd already let it go after beating him up earlier.

But what kind of expression would the butler have if he knew what his young master had just done?

Thinking of this, Lu Changfeng briefly explained what had just happened!

That's how it is. You can ask other people if you don't believe me!

The men and women queuing nearby nodded in approval upon seeing this.

At that moment, Butler Li felt like the sky was about to fall.

But as the butler, he still cupped his hands in thanks to Lu Changfeng.

"Thank you for informing me, Immortal Master."

Then he went up to the golden-haired chicken.

"Young Master, kneel down facing the direction of the sect! Kneel and kowtow!"

Upon hearing this, the golden pheasant immediately bristled.

"What? You want me to kneel down? Butler Li, what do you mean by this?"

"I am the son of the Prince of Jin, and you dare to make me kneel in public?"

However, when faced with the young master's questioning, Steward Li just stared at him without saying a word, just staring at him!

Finally, the golden-haired chicken knelt down and respectfully kowtowed nine times in the direction of the Heavenly Star Sect before silently moving to the very back of the line.

Lu Changfeng was also quite surprised by what he saw.

However, this approach is considered normal, since no matter what, it's best to first get the attitude right.

I never expected this golden-haired chicken to listen to Butler Li so much.

But thinking about it, it makes sense. A prince's steward's status is only below that of the prince and the princess. Even the prince's eldest son is not as high as the steward.
