Chapter 15: Money speaks -6
The room was thick with anticipation as Bai Lung heard the word Ascension.
To think the way to reach the upper realm or ascend is available there, but knowing it's for the protagonist, it's not so surprising.
But, if it was any other Daoist sitting in the position of Bai Lung, they would have gone insane.
For the past 100,000 years, no one has ascended and now there is a key that can lead to Ascension, it's simply blood chilling.
Bai Lung's piercing gaze never wavered from the sect master, who tried to maintain a calm exterior despite the pressure creeping over his soul.
" I am hooked, Tell me more about this ancient tomb, honorable sect master of heaven fall sect," Bai Lung said,
his voice was steady yet commanding at the same time, "I need to know everything if we are to succeed, "
" Hmm! "The sect master nodded his head up and down twice,
his fingers were trembling slightly as he poured himself another cup of tea.
The greed for spirituality hasn't vanished yet, sigh! This sect master is truly pathetic, Bai Lung said in his heart.
" Ahem* Ahem* The ancient tomb lies within the Secret Realm of the Eastern Mountains. It is said to house the remnants of an Immortal Emperor from the Golden Era.
Legends speak about the unparalleled treasures and techniques that lie there, but also of lethal traps and powerful guardians,"

Bai Lung leaned back with a contemplative look on his face.
" An Immortal Emperor? Is the sect master even aware of his words?... Such a figure would have been mighty beyond measure, speaking of immortal such casually is a huge taboo,
However, considering your words are true...
No doubt, the tomb is protected by the emperor's lingering will. We will need to be prepared for anything,"
The sect master cleared his throat, struggling to hide his anxiety but he was secretly happy from inside seeing how Bai Lung believed his words without much thought.
" Indeed, Young Master Bai, Our sect has some knowledge of the tomb's layout and its most prominent dangers, but much remains unknown.
There is one artifact we seek above all: the Eternal Youth Jade. It is said to hold immense vitality, " Sect Master sipped the tea while feeling a little uneasy.
The reason he needed that jade wasn't to maintain his vitality and youth but rather something else... Something that can never be said out to anyone else.
Bai Lung's eyes narrowed.
" And what makes you think I will allow you to claim this artifact for your sect? "
The sect master swallowed hard, realizing he had to tread carefully.
" Young Master Bai, it's me who seeks the Eternal Youth Jade, of course, I know what Young Master wants, I am willing to hand my daughter to you, but I need these herbs and Eternal Youth Jade. Also, I want Young Master to protect my son,"
The sect Master handed a small piece of paper with some ancient herbs written on it.
" Don't worry there are lots of treasures on the tomb... Any other treasure you found will obviously belong to you, "
Bai Lung suddenly stood,
his presence towering over the seated sect master.
" Remember, sect master, any attempt to deceive or betray me will be your last. I have no patience for treachery... As for your request, I will fulfill it, but, I hope the sect master keeps his words,"
Bai Lung's eyes scanned him from up to down with a chilling gaze that froze sect master's very soul.
The sect master bowed his head, his voice trembling slightly.
" I swear, Young Master Bai, on the honor of the Heavens Falls Sect, we will honor our agreement. Your trust will not be misplaced,"
With that, Bai Lung turned away,
his mind already calculating the possibilities.
However,
Bai Lung's thoughts were interrupted by another series of notifications in his mind.
[ Ding! The host has received 10,000 Exp points for making a strategic alliance and pushing heroine into your clutches ]
[ Ding! The host has obtained 1,000 points for securing the loyalty of the Heavens Falls Sect ]
[ Ding! The host is bound to put strong family pressure on the heroine, pushing her to your embrace... The host has calculated everything and played his role perfectly. You have obtained an additional 10,000 Exp and 1,000 Points ]
[ Ding! The Host has obtained the title; The one who uses family pressure ]
- The one who uses family pressure: You may have rejected me, but your family hasn't, now! Listen to your family and walk towards me.
A satisfied smile played on Bai Lung's lips seeing how promising these rewards were.
It's simply magnificent.

Dhup! Dup!
As Bai Lung walked outside, his heart pounded heavily.
It's a good thing that these people don't know he is literal trash in terms of cultivation, otherwise, Bai Lung couldn't act tough.
Truth be told, No matter how Pathethic previous Bai Lung was, he was cautious enough to keep the mystery around him by not revealing his secrets.
Most people don't know anything about Bai Lung, everyone thinks he is powerful because he comes from a powerful background.
" Ah! It's such a tiring thing, good thing, everything went well with the sect master, and I obtained multiple benefits, " Bai Lunc talked to himself.
Logically speaking, he obtained multiple pieces of information, he also obtained the way of the immortal tomb as the sect master had said they knew the layout of the Tomb.
Not just that, but, he also obtained the bodyguards for exploring the tomb of the immortal.
That's right, there is no way He would protect the son of the sect master of other sect members, matter of fact, he will use them for his protection.
Sect Master must have thought he was smart by sending Bai Lung with the sect, but Bai Lung remained 10 steps ahead using the sect master's strategy against the sect master.
To put it simply, Bai Lung has outsmarted the Sect master's outsmarting, without even trying.
" Ah! I am lazy... Wish I can sleep more, " - Bai Lung.
