Chapter 204 - 203 Can only go up, cannot fall_1
"...Ale, don’t you want to go worship at a sect and cultivate? Seven Star Gate is a good place. Dad can pay them a sum of money and become one of their shareholders. Then we can enter to apprentice and learn the arts."
Sky Mist Valley.
Fang Family’s Residence.
In a luxurious backyard, the pot-bellied middle-aged Fang Shan, fan in hand, was fanning his only son Fang Wenle, who was lying leisurely in the shade eating grapes. As he fanned, he said, "Dad has plenty of money. By buying more shares, I can have a say at Seven Star Mountain. When my boy goes up there to learn, he definitely won’t suffer hardships."
"What Seven Star Mountain? What shareholders?" The carefree young master opened his eyes in surprise, waved his hand to stop the maidservant from feeding him grapes, and asked.
"Son, this is a strange event that’s recently reached Yang City. Seven Star Gate was originally an unknown little sect with not many people. But some time ago, a sect elder who had been traveling abroad suddenly returned and restored the sect’s lost Cultivation Technique..."
Fang Shan went on and on, recounting the legend of Seven Star Gate to his son, and concluded, "Since ancient times, the Cultivation World has had little interaction with the secular world. It’s the first time a sect like Seven Star Gate has actively engaged with the world. Many people are rushing to buy shares. Some want to affiliate with an Immortal Sect, taking a gamble on luck; others see an opportunity to make a quick buck. Haven’t you been clamoring about cultivating lately?
Those major sects are completely out of our reach, and besides, Dad has heard that the Cultivation World is very brutal. A fight could break out at any time and a mishap could mean death.
The Old Fang Family has you as its sole seedling. If anything happens to you, who will I leave this vast family wealth to? Seven Star Gate comes as an opportunity. Being shareholders, we can have a say. Moreover, the most critical point is it’s close to home. If Dad wants to see you, it’s just a step away. We might even turn a profit..."
What the fuck!
