Exposed? That doesn't exist.
Even if he hadn't read the original Journey to the West, Jun Changxiao had watched the television series countless times and could recite the stories within it backward.
Without a second thought, he said, "The first sect leader of my Iron Bone Sect absorbed the essence of heaven, earth, sun, and moon, gestated through endless years, broke forth from a divine stone, and studied under Patriarch Bodhi of Spirit Terrace Square Inch Mountain!"
The Cangshan Sect elder rebuked him angrily, "Humans are made of flesh and blood; how could one come out of a stone? You little brat, stop spouting nonsense and deceiving the public!"
"Old man."
Jun Changxiao said disdainfully, "You know nothing about the evolution of the myriad living creatures."
"You... you..."
The Cangshan Sect elder was so angry his face turned red.
Jun Changxiao said indifferently, "I have answered your questions. If you are not satisfied or still want to hear more, feel free to keep asking."
How could the Cangshan Sect elder swallow this insult? Just as he was about to continue his interrogation, Li Qingyang spoke up first, "I never expected the Iron Bone Unyielding Sect to have such a long and storied history."
The crowd nearly fell over in unison.
The direct descendant of the Li family couldn't possibly actually believe that, could he?
"However."
Li Qingyang paused and said, "Everything you said describes the once-glorious Iron Bone Unyielding Sect. But what advantages or merits does it have now?"
Exactly!
Even if he wasn't talking nonsense, and even if the Iron Bone Sect had a deep foundation in the past, it was currently nothing more than a ninth-rate sect!
"Sigh."
Jun Changxiao let out a sigh and said, "There is nothing eternal in this world. Even the strongest sects have a day of decline. Our Iron Bone Unyielding Sect was not spared, and eventually fell to its current state."
Declined, my foot.
Your Iron Bone Sect was never strong to begin with!
"Young Master Li."
Jun Changxiao looked over, his expression meaningful, "But my sect is an ancient sect after all. Even if we have fallen from the altar, our foundation still exists. For example, the medicinal pill you took earlier is the best proof."
Medicinal pill?
The crowd listened, looking completely bewildered.
Li Qingyang fell silent.
At the time, he was severely injured and appeared unconscious, but in reality, he had been conscious. He could vaguely remember taking a pill, after which his injuries healed.
He had treated Jun Changxiao's previous story as just that—a story—but since the mention of the pill involved a personal benefit, he couldn't help but think that the Iron Bone Unyielding Sect might truly be extraordinary.
Jun Changxiao said, "This Seat intends to restore the former glory of the sect, and I need a genius like you to assist me."
He looked at the martial artists from various sects who had previously tried to recruit Li Qingyang and said, "The conditions they promised you are things I cannot provide, but if you want to become a Martial God, then join the Iron Bone Unyielding Sect."
Become a Martial God?
This guy really dares to say anything!
Martial God.
The strongest realm on the Starfall Continent, the gods revered in the hearts of the world.
Jun Changxiao, who was only at the fifth stage of Pulse Opening, dared to promise someone they could reach such a realm; his bragging was on another level!
"Fine."
Li Qingyang said readily, "I will join the Iron Bone Unyielding Sect."
These simple words echoed over the Training Ground. The expressions of the martial artists from the various sects froze instantly, as if they had turned into wooden statues.
"Ding!"
"Congratulations to the host for completing the Side Quest, obtaining 5 Sect Contribution Points!"
"Ding!"
"Sect Contribution Points: 19/100."
Hearing the sounds ringing in his ears, Jun Changxiao was a bit stunned and thought to himself, That's it? I just swindled the number one genius of Qingyang City like that?
"Qianqian!"
After a moment of daze, Sect Leader Jun said loudly, "Bring the Enrollment Form."
Lu Qianqian placed the form on the table.
"Swish!"
Jun Changxiao sat down elegantly, picked up his brush, and said, "Name."
"Li Qingyang."
"Gender."
"...Male."
"Age."
"Sixteen."
"Aptitude."
"High-grade Spirit Root."
"Realm."
"Tenth stage of Pulse Opening."
Jun Changxiao nearly lost his balance and fell off his chair.
He, the sect leader, was only at the fifth stage of Pulse Opening, yet the second disciple he recruited had actually reached the tenth stage!
As expected of the number one genius in Qingyang City, he was truly impressive.
Jun Changxiao took the sect leader's seal from his Spatial Ring, breathed on it, and stamped it onto the Enrollment Form, saying, "From today on, you are a disciple of my Iron Bone Unyielding Sect."
"Disciple Li Qingyang."
Li Qingyang cupped his hands and said respectfully, "Greetings, Sect Leader!"
"Ding!"
"Sect Member: 3/100!"
"Ding!"
"Sect Contribution Points: 20/100."
Seeing the member count increase and the contribution points rise, Jun Changxiao suddenly felt the system's notification sound was incredibly beautiful and pleasant!
No one would have expected that Li Qingyang, who had rejected a fifth-rate sect, would choose to join the Iron Bone Unyielding Sect, and even less would they have expected that the enrollment procedures would be completed so quickly!
The deacon of the Long Saber Sect slumped to the ground, muttering blankly, "Impossible... impossible... this must be a dream!"
The Iron Bone Sect, which he had always looked down upon and despised, had actually recruited the number one genius of Qingyang City!
The reality was too cruel for him to accept.
The disciples of the Tiger Roar Sect were also stunned.
To be precise.
After Li Qingyang joined the Iron Bone Unyielding Sect, everyone on the Training Ground was stunned, all feeling as if they were dreaming—a ridiculous, extreme dream!
"Young Master Li."
The elder of the Cangshan Sect said in a deep voice, "You possess a High-grade Spirit Root and have infinite potential for the future; joining the unranked Iron Bone Sect is ruining your own prospects!"
"Old man."
Jun Changxiao said with a cold face, "Although my Iron Bone Unyielding Sect is currently unranked, that is only temporary. Today, This Seat declares that within a few years, we will definitely surpass your Cangshan Sect!"
His voice was sonorous and powerful, filled with spirit!
He was serious, unprecedentedly serious, because as a sect leader, he hated it when people despised or mocked his sect.
He had to become stronger; he had to use his actions to slap their faces hard!
"Surpass my Cangshan Sect?"
The Cangshan Sect elder sneered, "Do you really think that by relying on your mouth, you can make a sect powerful?"
Relying on his mouth.
That was certainly impossible.
Jun Changxiao dared to be this confident because he had the system in his hands, had contribution points, and had the Sect Mall!
You martial artists of the Starfall Continent rely on the accumulation of time and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to cultivate, but This Seat will use contribution points and various supreme treasures to surpass and crush you step by step!
"Old man."
Jun Changxiao said, "Just wait for the day my Iron Bone Sect becomes famous and shocks the continent."
The Cangshan Sect elder snorted coldly and said, "Fine, this old man will wait for the day the Iron Bone Unyielding Sect becomes famous!"
Having said that, he flicked his sleeves and left.
Since the best genius had been snatched away, there was no point in staying here, so he ordered his disciples to pack up their booth and prepare to return to the Cangshan Sect.
"Elder Ma!"
However, just as he was about to leave, a middle-aged man dressed in brocade robes hurried onto the Training Ground and said, "Please stay!"
"It's Patriarch Li!"
The crowd recognized the newcomer as the head of the Li family, Li Qingyang's father.
Patriarch Li arrived quickly with several servants, cupped his hands politely, and said, "Elder Ma, my son Qingyang is young and ignorant. I, Li, would like to accept your sect's sincere invitation on his behalf."
"Patriarch Li."
The elder of the Cangshan Sect said irritably, "Your son has already joined another sect."
"What?"
The head of the Li family was stunned. He looked toward Li Qingyang in the distance and said with a dark face, "You brat, why didn't you wait for your father before making such a decision on your own..."
His voice came to an abrupt halt. As his peripheral vision caught the banner hanging above his son's head that read 'Iron Bone Unyielding Sect', a strong sense of foreboding rose in the Li family head's heart: "Qingyang, which sect did you join?"
Li Qingyang replied calmly, "The Iron Bone Unyielding Sect."
