Poison God's Heritage

Chapter 430 Petty

"It's kinda shameful to leave your beast here and run away with your tail behind your legs," I shook my head as I looked at the sorry state this mighty-looking tiger turned to.

But the most interesting thing was Kyuu. This fur ball was able to scare the living hell out of a fully-grown tiger.

I petted the small Dark Beast on my shoulder and moved forward.

The higher one goes though, the more the concentration of Qi can be felt.

To cultivate at the top of the mountain would mean to be in the presence of the densest part of this Qi gathering formation.

"You're right," someone said.

I didn't even sense this old man. Nor did I even hear his sweeping. How is he doing this?

"Yes I am," I said as I clasped my hands to the old man. "Who might you be, kind sir," I said.

"It would be foolish to disregard a person based on his clothing and occupation, your 'mere' sweeping is clearly nothing ordinary, for no person can move dust and dirt without even making a sound," I said.

He then came close, one hand under his chin, and began sniffing around me.

'He didn't notice the Soul Sealing Inscription. Good."

"Will you be willing to sell it to me?" he asked.

The old man shrugged, "Well, I can't force you. Anyway, if you wish to climb up the mountain, you'll need to have merit. And merit can be gained, and can be stolen." He said.

"How so?" I asked.

"They really didn't teach you anything did they," the old man sighed.

I moved toward the Merit Office the old man pointed me to and soon arrived at its entrance.

On the other side of the wall, was a large desk that hosted several elders who seemed to be busy taking care of students' orders.

"Move aside! Sister Ai Li is walking in," he said shouting his lungs out.

She had a small mole under her lower lip. The only imperfection in a perfect body, but it was an imperfection that gave her more charm.

"You didn't hear me! I said get the fuck off the way!" the same idiot talked again but this time he tried to grab me.

My hand had clamped tight on his wrist with enough force that one could hear a snap.

"You there! What are you doing? It's forbidden to have fights here!" one of the booth's elders shouted.

"He is perfectly fine, aren't you," I said to the cultivator who seemed to finally realize that his broken arm was not broken anymore.

"Yeah, anyway, since I have your attention, and I really don't like to stand in line, where can I get a Merit Badge," I said.

I sighed, since I couldn't do anything, I had to wait in line with the ruffian and the girl who seemed to be too busy to wait.

"Sister Ai Li, you can take my spot," some cultivator ahead of me said.

Everyone turned to me, in complete shock.

"I don't really care, she came after me, and I won't accept it unless she goes after me. The Poison Sect has rules right, respect the rules," I said. As I pointed at a text above the booth.

"What kind of pickup attempt is this, if you want to impress Sister Ai Li, you should be more tact, instead of rude," the same disciple who tried to give his spot said.

Though I wouldn't say that they were 'far' prettier, they were at least above this girl in terms of looks. Perhaps it's the difference in cultivation that improves a woman's outer appearance.

The girl's face seemed to redden with rage, but since she wanted to keep up appearances she held in her words.

"I'm feeling a bit sick, I'll be leaving the line," someone said.

And just like that, the line in front of me was empty.

I grinned as I moved up to the booth.

"What do you need," he said.

The elder picked up a round white badge that didn't have anything on it.

"Shen Mo," I said.

"Oh found you, you just entered the Inner Sect. hmm, Huh???"

"Elder Huan! Is this correct?!" he said to the elder next to him.f𝐫e𝘦𝘸e𝗯𝒏𝗼ѵe𝗹． c𝑜m

The first elder sighed as he handed me my badge with a number on it this time.

Someone on the line next to use saw the number and called, "S-sixty thousand?! Didn't he just enter the inner sect?!"

"You don't know?" the elder said.

"Well, you'll understand later, now take your badge and leave." He said.

"Yes, go ahead the wall is over there, once you complete a mission, you can come here and report it, and I'll add more merit points to your badge… but do be careful, someone with that many merit points can be an appetizer for some of the monsters in this sect," the elder said slyly.

"Well, then, that also can be fun," at least by then they'll know the meaning of a tiger wearing a pig's skin.
