Double Cultivation
resigns
"Senior, what brings you here today?" Liu Lanzhi asked even though Liu Lanzhi wanted to ask where she was lately.
"I am here to fulfill my promise," Su Yang said with a smile.
Liu Lanzhi raised an eyebrow in confusion.
"I don't understand .." he said a moment later.
Su Yang did not say anything more and waved his sleeve, causing many things to appear before Liu Lanzhi.
"I-This .." Liu Lanzhi stared with a gawking expression at the techniques and spiritual treasures piling up like a small mountain in front of him.
"i took these during my journey, but since I didn't use them, I will give them to your Profound Blossom Sect," su Yang said while pointing to the dozens of treasures he had found in the Eternal Treasure Room.
There were at least fifty cultivation techniques ranging from the Mortal level to the Earth level and over two hundred spiritual weapons/treasures ranging from the Spirit level to the Earth level.
Just a cultivation technique alone was enough to significantly increase the prowess of a high rank Sect, let alone a middle rank Sect like the Profound Flower Sect.
However, with the addition of spiritual treasures, the Profound Blossom Sect would skyrocket in prowess, becoming a Sect with great power and great resources not only in the Eastern Region but the entire Eastern Continent!
"W-You're going to give all of this to the Profound Blossom Sect? T-That's too much for an unworthy place like this place!" Liu Lanzhi spoke with a trembling voice, his face filled with disbelief and shock, looking like he had just entered Heaven.
"You don't want it?" Su Yang raised an eyebrow.
"Bu-Not that ... it's just that I don't know how to react ... or how to reply to you .." Liu Lanzhi trembled.
The Profound Flower Sect would happily accept so many 'free' resources, but Liu Lanzhi was afraid that Su Yang might ask for something afterwards.
And if it becomes something he cannot fulfill, what will happen then?
"You don't have to worry about paying me. Let's just say it's taking out the trash that others have left behind, because it would be like that if you refused to accept it," Su Yang said.
If Liu Lanzhi was unwilling to take this from him, Su Yang would rather throw it in the middle of the road and let someone else take it.
While these items might be worth a fortune to the people of this world, those techniques and treasures were no different from the pebbles on the pavement in the eyes of Su Yang – being completely worthless.
Liu Lanzhi glanced at the glittering pile of treasures before his eyes and gulped, his mouth filled with saliva from deep thirst.
Liu Lanzhi immediately went to take out some storage rings and pouches to store treasures, as there were too many treasures before his eyes that could not be put into a single storage ring.
After obtaining the storage ring, Liu Lanzhi threw the treasures onto the ring one by one, and on his face was adrift in extreme happiness, looking like someone who had just won the lottery.
Su Yang noticed Liu Lanzhi's childish behavior with a gentle smile on his face. Although there were many things he liked about this place, he respected them for being able to create an environment that would normally be disliked even in the Four Divine Heavens.
When it came to dual cultivation, where cultivators cultivated alongside their passions, the majority of the world underestimated such a vile cultivation method, as they believed that such practices corrupted the divine quality of cultivation.
"Ooh! This is an Earth-level spiritual Weapon!" Liu Lanzhi's eyes gleamed in light as he took out a sword that emitted a profound aura.
"This is one more!" Liu Lanzhi immediately retrieved it after throwing another Earth-class spiritual treasure into the storage ring.
It took Liu Lanzhi a few minutes to actually store the mountain of treasure even though he barely looked at it before throwing it into the storage ring and pouch.
And after he finished storing the treasure, Liu Lanzhi looked at Su Yang with an embarrassed face and spoke, "It must be bad to see me. I was too excited and couldn't help myself …"
Su Yang shook his head and said, "By the way, now that it's done, it's time to tell you the real reason why I'm here today."
"Eh? Is there any more?" Liu Lanzhi narrowed her eyes, feeling a strange aura in Su Yang's gaze.
"That's right, I came here to tell you that I'm going to resign as Patriarch, which is only temporary, so you're free to finally look for an actual replacement." Said Su Yang.
When Liu Lanzhi first heard that, his mind did not immediately understand him and looked at him with a dumbfounded face. However, as soon as he finally understood the meaning behind his words, his eyes widened in shock, and he shouted, "You're already willing to leave?! This is too sudden Senior!"
Indeed, Su Yang's sudden departure like that without warning or anything like – was like a lightning strike in a clear and beautiful sky.
"What'sthis? You actually want me to remain a Patriarch despite being pressured to accept it when we first meet?" Su Yang said with a slight chuckle.
Liu Lanzhi opened his mouth but no words came out. If Su Yang had never suppressed or bribed him to accept him as Patriarch, he would have long since sought out another Patriarch.
Even so, it was not as if Liu Lanzhi really disliked the situation, either, because not only did the Profound Blossom Sect receive its protection in return but he also gave them many treasures that they would never be able to obtain on their own.
In fact, while Su Yang had not really done anything to help the Sect for several weeks as a Patriarch, his profound cultivation base and seemingly limitless wealth were the definitions of a Sect Master's 'ideal' in Liu Lanzhi's eyes, as his profound presence made him feel safe and filled with relief despite being the cause of Sect Master's death earlier.
Now that he was about to leave, Liu Lanzhi was worried that he might not be able to find someone who was even half of Su Yang's qualification to be his successor.
