Enduring humiliation for three years, seizing the elixir, the treasure, and the holy maiden.

"Once you've fully recovered from your injuries, I'll leave this place to you for the time being."

At that moment, Su Chen waved his hand.

Ok?

What's going on?

Chen Shiqiang felt a little dazed at that moment.

Just two weeks ago, he was a disciple whom Han Zhishan bullied at will.

Since meeting Su Chen, her life has completely changed.

From qualifying for the martial arts tournament to now being in charge of the library.

It feels like yesterday!

That's why Chen Shiqiang was so surprised.

It's not for any other reason than that managing the library seems like a chore.

In fact, everyone in the sect knows this.

This is a seat that many people would love to sit in but can't get.

After all, almost none of the disciples in the sect practiced cultivation techniques and did not need to borrow the techniques from the library.

Therefore, many disciples dare not offend the manager of the library.

They even went to great lengths to please him.

Borrowing a cultivation technique once costs a lot of spirit stones.

However, the same manual is often borrowed by multiple people at the same time.

Therefore, there is quite a bit of profit involved.

Many people want to be the first to borrow the martial arts manual they desire.

They would all bribe the person in charge with spirit stones.

Even Zhou Wenyuan, the former manager, had been in that position for so long that many disciples within the sect had become his followers.

Now I have such a heavy order in my hands.

This is enough to show how much faith the master had in himself.

"Master Uncle, I promise I won't let you down!"

"They will never do what they did before, accepting bribes and trying to win over other disciples behind the scenes."

At that moment, Chen Shiqiang quickly knelt down on one knee and cupped his hands in greeting.

"Snapped!"

Chen Shiqiang felt a sudden heaviness in his head.

Only then did they realize that Su Chen had hit himself on the head with a book.

"Are you stupid?!"

"How can you be so dense!"

"Use your pig brain to think!"

Why did I put you here?

Su Chen stared intently at Chen Shiqiang with a dark expression.

This really got Chen Shiqiang really annoyed.

"My master believes in me..."

It took him a long time to squeeze out this one sentence.

Su Chen almost spat out his tea.

"I'll teach you a lesson today, kid!"

"This cultivation world is a dog-eat-dog world. Think about how you were insulted and bullied before."

"Haven't you figured it out yet?"

"Being too upright and not tactful enough makes it impossible to survive in the world of cultivation."

"I know all too well about the lucrative business of managing this library."

"Arranging this place for you is not to expect you to be virtuous, nor is it because we believe you can refrain from taking advantage of others."

"It's because I consider you one of my own. As long as you don't cause any major trouble, I'll naturally turn a blind eye!"

"If you don't take advantage of the opportunity, how will you acquire more resources for cultivation and the pursuit of immortality?"

"Are you made of wood?"

At this moment, Su Chen shook his head helplessly.

Chen Shiqiang trembled at that moment, only then understanding what Su Chen meant.

"What does Martial Uncle mean..."

Chen Shiqiang asked a question timidly at this moment.

"It's simple, you're one of my people, so of course the profits go to our own!"

"I don't care how much profit you make."

"There are only two things I care about!"

"Are you one of my people? Are you willing to serve me?"

"Furthermore, I need to consolidate my own power base, and you can't just sit in this position for nothing."

"This is the rule of the cultivation world: everything must be based on value."

"You are valuable to me, so you deserve what you deserve!"

"Remember, I'll only say this once!"

Su Chen snorted coldly.

If this were done by a clever person...

There's no need for me to say it outright.

Unfortunately, Chen Shiqiang was a bit slow to understand, so Su Chen helped him out.

If this person didn't have some backbone and be grateful, he would never have betrayed Su Chen.

Su Chen was probably so angry that he replaced him long ago.

At this moment, Chen Shiqiang's hands were still trembling.

Even today, these words came from the mouth of my revered senior master.

Only then did I realize how foolish I had been.

I used to think that the world was dark and that I should uphold my principles.

But at this moment, he suddenly realized that the highest good is like water, and that he himself was not tactful enough.

"Shiqiang has learned a great deal from the guidance of his master."

"I am willing to give my life for my true master!"

At that moment, Chen Shiqiang knelt down and bowed to Su Chen.

"Alright, alright, get back to work..."

Su Chen waved his hand at that moment.

This conversation was naturally not kept from Wang Mang.

"hehe..."

"I knew you were such a cunning kid."

"Now I know why Li Changfeng chose you back then."

"It seems that compared to you, I am far too upright."

Wang Mang's words sounded somewhat sarcastic.

Actually, that's truly how I feel right now.

...

The days passed quickly.

Su Chen was sitting in the study, studying the incomplete martial arts manual from Jian Yuan with Lin Wanwan.

The power of the narrow passage is self-evident.

But what's even more incredible is the effect of drawing in Qi and absorbing spiritual energy within that technique.

If you combine it with the Taiyi Treasure Record left to you by Master Lao Deng, you can cultivate it.

Their cultivation speed will likely be immeasurable.

Even reaching the Nascent Soul stage within a hundred years is not impossible.

"Oh, right..."

"Why haven't I seen Wang Yuyan these past few days?"

Su Chen was a little curious.

"I brought her a few cultivation manuals from the Tai Xuan Sect."

"Considering that she hasn't even reached the Golden Core stage yet, I gave her some pointers."

"However, I must say, this Sister Yuyan does have some talent."

"We are currently at the critical juncture of Core Formation."

"So I went into seclusion..."

Lin Wanwan was holding a box of nuts, eating them as she casually remarked something.

Su Chen frowned.

Wang Yuyan does indeed have some talent.

She doesn't have her own extraordinary skills or lineage.

Thinking back, I remember giving her those resources when I returned from the Spirit Beast Mountain Range.

That's how she barely managed to establish her foundation.

Later on, he only practiced dual cultivation with her in the spirit pool.

She made considerable progress at that time.

But now, only a short time has passed, and he's already about to form his core.

This cultivation speed is probably not much slower than that of the gluttonous saintess standing to the side.

"Reaching the Core Formation is no small matter."

"I'll go take a look..."

Su Chen stood up and walked towards the door.

"Hmph!"

"Hey, you taciturn fellow, are you planning to use the dual cultivation method to help her form her core?"

Lin Wanwan was incredibly clever, so she naturally guessed what Su Chen was thinking.

Su Chen naturally hoped to use the dual cultivation to replenish Wang Yuyan's spiritual power.

It helped Wang Yuyan successfully achieve the Golden Core stage.

"Don't overthink it. Since I'm marrying you, I naturally acknowledge her as your Daoist partner."

"Besides, Sister Yuyan usually takes good care of me."

"They took incredibly good care of me!"

At that moment, Lin Wanwan picked up another nut with her slender hand and put it in her mouth.

Su Chen was curious about what this talkative saintess was going to say.

"My understanding is that if the three of us were to cultivate the Great Dao together..."

"Wouldn't that make it even easier for Sister Yuyan to achieve her Core Formation?"

"Then it wouldn't be called dual cultivation, it would be called triple cultivation..."

Lin Wanwan was analyzing the situation with a very serious expression.

Su Chen's face darkened...

...
