Divine Exchanged System

C7 – The Generous Reward

The day after the test, the Wang family threw a lavish banquet, inviting the entire town to partake in the celebration. Both the elite and the common folk were welcomed to the table. It was the liveliest event the Wang family had seen in years, outshining even the mayor’s 60th birthday bash.

​Town dignitaries toasted in unison, “Congratulations to Young Master Wang Shan for securing the top spot in the test!” Wang Shan lifted his glass in response, “Thank you all. Please, enjoy your meal and drinks!”

​The festivities continued until 3 PM. Afterwards, Wang Tianxia summoned Wang Shan to the hall and said, “You’ve earned the title of first place in the test. Here’s 100,000 yuan for your personal use, along with the deeds to ten luxury shops in town.”

​Wang Tianxia was always generous with Wang Shan. “Dad, you only gave me 50,000 yuan last month. Aren’t you a bit reluctant to give me 100,000 this month?” Wang Shan asked, though he didn’t hesitate to accept the 200,000 yuan card.

Wang Tianxia burst into hearty laughter, “Your triumph in the test has brought me great honor. The whole town is talking about my genius son. This 100,000 yuan is your well-deserved reward.”

Indeed, it had been ages since a prodigy had emerged from the Wang family. And Wang Shan, with his direct manifestation of the Eternal Flood Dragon Bloodline during the test, was truly a first!

​Wang Tianxia’s demeanor turned solemn as he reminisced, “Legend has it that our Wang family was a prestigious clan in ancient times.” He then advised Wang Shan, “Now that you’ve passed the test, head to the Nine-level Tower on the back mountain tomorrow to select a cultivation technique. Once you obtain your One-star Cultivator ID, you’ll be an official cultivator.”

The Nine-level Tower was shrouded in mystery, a place Wang Shan had never explored, as the back mountain was off-limits. The tower, with its nine levels, each held different cultivation techniques. The first level contained the most basic, while the ninth held the most powerful. Yet, for centuries, cultivators had only managed to access the very first level.

To this day, no one knows what kind of unparalleled cultivation technique lies hidden within the ninth level of the Nine-level Tower.

“Is it very difficult to reach the top of the Nine-level Tower?” Wang Shan inquired.

Wang Tianxia was startled. “With your current strength, you can only access the first level. Any higher and you would not survive. Heed my advice: return after obtaining your One-star Cultivator ID card. Do not attempt to ascend further.”

Wang Shan nodded in agreement, his interest in the Nine-level Tower piqued.

If he didn’t rely on the system, he might still acquire an impressive cultivation technique from the Nine-level Tower.

That evening, Wang Shan soaked in the Wang family’s bathhouse, where five girls assisted in loosening his muscles. They couldn’t stop praising his performance from the previous day.

“Do you know about the Nine-level Tower on the back mountain?” Wang Shan asked casually.

Jiaxia, who was well-informed about the town, responded promptly, “Young Master, each town has a Nine-level Tower, but entry is typically forbidden. It’s only accessible after the cultivator’s test.”

“Moreover, the Nine-level Tower is exclusively open to the new generation of cultivators. Rumor has it that the tower contains top-tier Earth Rank Cultivation Methods.”

Upon hearing this, Wang Shan felt a twinge of disappointment.

He had acquired the Water Condensing Arts from the system, which was a Heaven Rank Cultivation Method. To think that the Nine-level Tower only housed Earth Rank Cultivation Methods was indeed regrettable.

​”However, it’s rumored that the Nine-level Tower also confines an ancient Divine Beast.”

This revelation from Jiaxia piqued Wang Shan’s curiosity. The presence of Divine Beasts within the Nine-level Tower was intriguing. It was no wonder Wang Tianxia was reluctant to let him venture there.
