Boasting? Who Doesn't Know How?

Zhang Yang and Qingxu stayed behind to watch a good show before catching up with Situ Mingyue and the Tiger Demon.

They returned to the entrance to the Prodigy Battlefield.

There are no rare heavenly materials and earthly treasures here, and it's only been a few days since we entered the Prodigy Battlefield. Who would come to this place?

"That thing of yours is quite interesting; it can see things so clearly from afar." Qingxu looked at the scope in Zhang Yang's hand. "Generally speaking, to see that far, one would either have Innate Divine Eyes, or other spirit medicine that enhance the eyes. Or, a great cultivator at the Primordial Spirit Realm could directly perceive things with Divine Sense. What is that?"

"Eightfold Scope!" Zhang Yang replied casually.

"Huh?" Qingxu was taken aback by the new word, but quickly realized, "It's quite apt."

He examined the Barrett in Zhang Yang's hand with curiosity and asked, "Was this made by your Azure Cloud Sect?"

"My idea was designed by my Fifth Uncle, and my Sixth Uncle refined the runes." Zhang Yang didn't hide anything from Qingxu, demonstrating what it means to treat people with sincerity.

Because he wanted to extract new information about the Prodigy Battlefield from Qingxu.

"From what I've observed, you're not an introverted person!" Zhang Yang looked at Qingxu. "If that's the case, why are you being ostracized by your fellow disciples?"

Qingxu paused for a moment, then pointed at the Tiger Demon and asked Zhang Yang, "Can you communicate with him?"

"Yes, that's my dog Prosperity. I've raised him for a long time." Zhang Yang nodded.

Qingxu. He glanced at Situ Mingyue, then quickly looked away.

Situ Mingyue nearby, glared fiercely at Qingxu. What did this guy mean?

Qingxu simply pointed to a stone and asked, "Can you communicate with these stones?"

"Yes, I can!" Zhang Yang nodded. Communicating with those Spirit Artifact was essentially the same as communicating with stones.

Qingxu, unsure of what to say.

Zhang Yang laughed, "I understand what you mean, you can't communicate with them?"

Qingxu gave a wry smile and shook his head, "It's not that communication is impossible, it's just exhausting. Their heads are like they're stuffed full of stuff, completely devoid of brain matter... Do you understand that feeling?"

Zhang Yang's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly asked, "Is it because many of your ideas are incomprehensible to your fellow disciples? They even think you're crazy?"

"Yes!" Qingxu nodded.

"Aren't there many principles that you clearly understand at a glance, yet your fellow disciples just can't learn them?"

Qingxu looked at Zhang Yang with a strange expression. "How did you know?"

"Are they always coming to ask you questions, and no matter how you explain, they just don't understand? And when you finally manage to get them to understand, they still blame you?"

Qingxu silently watched Zhang Yang.

"After answering their questions, do you look at them with disdain and ask, 'You can't even do something this simple?' Do your fellow disciples dislike you but still have to come to you for help? Even some of your senior uncles come to you?"

Isn't this just a typical combination of a highly intelligent man, a tech-savvy man, a straight man, and a repressed, secretly passionate man...?

Qingxu stared blankly at Zhang Yang for a long while before suddenly asking, "Do you possess the Mind Reading?"

Otherwise, how would we know these things?

Zhang Yang was secretly delighted; he now knew how to deal with Qingxu!

He slapped his thigh hard and laughed loudly, saying, "Because I had the same experience in the Azure Cloud Sect!"

"You've had that experience too? You weren't communicating with tigers, but with rocks?" Qingxu looked at Zhang Yang in disbelief.

Zhang Yang pointed at the Tiger Demon and said, "Do you think it's meaningful to communicate with this guy who can't even speak? I'm just looking for an unspecified person to organize my thoughts through dialogue. So, whether the person is a tiger or a stone makes absolutely no difference."

Situ Mingyue and the Tiger Demon looked at each other, confused; they couldn't understand.

However, Qingxu's eyes lit up, and he exclaimed excitedly, "You can do that? Yes, communicating with them is too tiring. Why don't I communicate with myself? Anyway, it's communicating with myself, so what difference does it make if the other person is some kind of thing? That way, I won't offend anyone..."

Zhang Yang shook his head and said with distress, "You simply cannot believe how much suffering I endured in the sect... To tell you the truth, my master and uncles have all lost their minds!"

They're absolutely brainless!

Can you imagine? A High Antiquity sect with a history of five thousand years was almost destroyed by my master and uncles, and in the end, only one hundred Spirit Stone were left!

As fellow High Antiquity sects, Qingxu recalled the heyday of One-Guard Monastery and then thought of the Azure Cloud Sect's pitiful hundred Spirit Stone. He looked at Zhang Yang incredulously.

How did this group manage to reduce the Azure Cloud Sect to only one Spirit Stone?

How can there be such foolish people in this world?

Zhang Yang didn't go into details, reasons, or the process, only the result. He said fiercely, "Ten years ago, they tricked me into going up the mountain, saying it was High Antiquity sect. I was very young then and had no experience. I thought all High Antiquity sects were dilapidated. Anyway, they still gave me two Spirit Artifact as soon as I entered."

After I became a disciple of the sect, they taught me cultivation.

After I learned what Spiritual Qi was, I successfully Qi Gathering in the blink of an eye. I then spent a month Body Refinement without using any medicinal herbs. In three months, Sea Opening, in six months I planted the Dao Seed, and in a year I Core Formation Realm. Only after I Core Formation Realm did I discover that the sect was so poor that they couldn't even afford to eat.

I was furious and demanded that my master give me the position of School Leader so I could reform the Azure Cloud Sect.

After I took over the Azure Cloud Sect, I brought back over 100,000 Myriad Spirits in just two days, which terrified my master and the others!

He told Qingxu about his experience, half-truthfully, because to communicate with a genius, you must not appear foolish; you must demonstrate genius-level abilities for them to become interested.

Qingxu became interested and hurriedly asked, "What happened next?"

"Later, I managed to bring back one million Spirit Stone in just one month!"

Situ Mingyue, standing beside him, glanced at Zhang Yang silently. She knew what was going on; it was all about getting her one million Spirit Stone!

"Another half month passed, and through my abilities, I managed to obtain another four million Spirit Stone."

Situ Mingyue took a deep breath. She was aware of the matter; the Cloud Mountain Empire had been suppressed by her master, who had extorted four million Spirit Stone from it.

"After acquiring several million Spirit Stone, I used various means to earn thirty million Spirit Stone by releasing the secret realm of the Azure Cloud Sect. Inside the secret realm, I fought against Golden Core cultivators from more than a dozen other sects, killing dozens of them and defeating them all."

Later, using the Azure Cloud Sect's suppression of the Demon Lord, I openly demanded that all the major sects in the world hand over their Spirit Stone.

Every major sect obediently sent our Azure Cloud Sect fifty million Spirit Stone, along with countless spirit pills and materials."

Qingxu listened with great excitement, nodding repeatedly. "I know about this. The one who went One-Guard Monastery Shouyi Temple was my master. He left the sect and never came back... Oh, you caught him!"

Zhang Yang continued to boast, "Yes, your master was also captured by my scheme... Of course, I'm too weak; it was my master who actually did the work!"

He unceremoniously claimed the credit for himself, then continued, "With the billions of Spirit Stone, I started recruiting. The entire sect now has several thousand Foundation Establishment Disciple. Give me a little more time, and the Azure Cloud Sect will definitely surpass its most glorious period."

He placed his hand on Qingxu's shoulder and said sincerely, "Therefore, geniuses should be with other geniuses. Let's cooperate!"

Let's not worry about how we'll cooperate in the future; let's just get this kid on our side and make good use of his abilities.
