Chaos Spirit Field

Each new class of disciples in the Spirit Beast Pavilion selects a senior brother, who enjoys special privileges for five years. This privilege lasts until the next disciple-recruiting ceremony. Zhao Shanhe knows that if he wishes to reside permanently in the Qilin Pavilion, he must be successfully elected as the Spirit Beast Pavilion's senior brother after five years. However, Tan Tai Mingzhu has no need to worry about this issue—after all, he is the grandson of the headmaster! Who would dare to expel him from the True Dragon Pavilion? As for the senior brother of the next class of new disciples, he can only consider himself unlucky.

Zhao Shanhe had only been living in Qilin Pavilion for two days when Tan Tai Mingzhu came to visit. He smiled broadly and said, "Brother-in-law, you've moved into a new house. Isn't it time to celebrate? I'll prepare some flaming lamb. How about we have a barbecue?"

Zhao Shanhe was somewhat tempted by Tan Tai Ming Zhu's proposal. He had made a killing last time, but after careful consideration, he felt something was amiss. He responded, "Second Junior Brother, the Sect Leader criticized my spiritual cooking skills before, saying they were not up to par and that I was wasting some ingredients. If I hold a barbecue party, I'll be ignoring the Sect Leader's advice. How about I wait until my spiritual cooking skills are fully developed and then make up for it?"

"Brother-in-law, this is what you said, and there is no regret."

"I, Zhao Shanhe, always keep my promises. Don't forget to prepare a gift when the time comes."

"Brother-in-law, do I need to bring a gift to the banquet?"

"Second Junior Brother, housewarming is a big event in the secular world. No one comes empty-handed. Everyone has to bring gifts."

When Tan Tai Ming Zhu heard this, his eyes turned, thinking this was a good opportunity to make money. He said, "Brother-in-law, you see, I've moved too, isn't it time to do something about it?"

"Second Junior Brother, you are the grandson of the Sect Master. Not only should we have a wedding, but we should have a grand one. As long as they are high-ranking members of the sect, whether they are elders or deacons, as long as they can be contacted, send invitations to all of them. It doesn't matter if they come or not, as long as they are present."

"Brother-in-law, is this okay?"

"Why not? Moving into a new house is a big deal. If you do it well, you can achieve financial freedom and buy whatever you want in the future."

"Brother-in-law, it would be embarrassing if the invitations were sent out and no one showed up."

Zhao Shanhe thought about it and realized that it made sense. How many people would pay attention to an invitation sent by a child? He came up with a great idea.

"Second Junior Brother, you can ask the Sect Master for a small gift and say it's to congratulate you on your new home. Others will have to follow suit and send gifts."

Tan Tai Ming Zhu thought this was a good idea, but he was also worried that there would be too many people coming and not enough to entertain them.

"Brother-in-law, how are we going to entertain those guests? We can't hire a spirit chef to prepare a banquet, or we'll lose money if things go wrong."

"Second Junior Brother, the Sect Leader praised my candied haws, so let's use them to entertain the guests. You are still a child after all, and I believe the guests will understand."

"Brother-in-law, let's do as you say. You pick three gifts from the guests first."

"Second Junior Brother, you are so kind."

"Brother-in-law, we're friends. I'll send out the invitations and have someone deliver the spiritual fruits over later. Even if no one comes, you can keep them for yourself."

Tan Tai Mingzhu was very efficient. Almost all the high-level members of the Qingniu Sect had received his invitations, but he didn't send any to his parents because he was afraid of being beaten.

The leader of the Qingniu Sect received a message from his grandson asking for a protective magic weapon. He did not suspect any other purpose and generously gave him a top-grade magic weapon.

When the Qingniu Sect's high-ranking officials learned that the Sect Leader had sent a gift, they all generously contributed. They certainly wouldn't give anything too good, as it wasn't significant enough for Tan Tai Ming Zhu. Just a token of appreciation would suffice. If it were Tan Tai Ming Yue, it would be different; they would definitely spend a fortune.

Tan Tai Ming Zhu was so happy looking at the mountains of gifts that he couldn't stop smiling. If he could hold a few more events, he might become the richest man in Qingniu Sect. The most important thing was that he had not given away many strings of candied haws, and the remaining ones would be enough to eat for a long time. The candied haws that he had hidden last time were robbed by his sister.

Some people were talking without noticing. When Tan Tai Ming Zhu saw his sister coming, he knew something was wrong. He wanted to put away the gifts and candied haws, but it was too late.

"Brother, why didn't you inform Dad and Mom about the banquet?"

"Sister, I'll give you half of the candied haws. Don't tell Daddy and Mommy about this."

Tantai Mingyue put away the candied haws and said cunningly, "Brother, I promise not to tell. Daddy and Mommy are already here, just wait for your beating."

Tan Tai Ming Zhu was a little frightened when he saw his parents with gloomy faces. He knew that if he showed his head, he would be in danger of being stabbed, and if he hid his head, he would also be in danger of being stabbed, so he ran to his parents obediently.

"Mom, Dad, you're here to see me. Bao'er is so happy."

Xiao Mei'er looked at Tan Tai Ming Zhu and said softly, "Bao'er, why does your smile seem a little unnatural to me?"

Tan Tai Ming Zhu quickly revealed a brilliant smile and coquettishly said, "Mother, Bao Er is so happy to see you! The elders in the sect also like Bao Er very much. They gave me many gifts to congratulate me on my new home! Take a look and see if there is anything you like. Feel free to choose!"

Xiao Mei'er lovingly touched her son's head and said gently, "Bao'er, it's unsafe for children to carry too many things. How about this, I'll keep them for you first, and you can come back to me when you need them, okay?"

Tan Tai Ming Zhu became anxious upon hearing this and muttered, "Mother, I worked so hard to get these. And I paid a lot for them, using up many strings of candied haws, all exchanged for contribution points. You should at least leave me half, or 30%... Or, 10% will be fine, right? You can't let me work so hard for nothing."

Tan Tai Mingzhu looked aggrieved and unwilling, looking at his mother pitifully. Xiao Meir agreed without thinking much, and the two of them also agreed that whoever went back on his word would be a puppy.

After carefully checking the accounts, Xiao Mei'er couldn't help but feel a little regretful. The spirit stones alone were worth over ten million, not to mention the countless other gifts, which were worth even more. She frowned and said to Tan Tai Ming Zhu, "Bao'er, isn't leaving you ten percent a bit too much?"

Tan Tai Ming Zhu's eyes widened as she angrily replied, "Mother, you just promised me. Anyone who goes back on their word is a dog. You can't go back on your word. I can testify to that."

As for his father, Tan Tai Ming Zhu didn't even mention him. He was just his mother's yes-man. Whenever his mother said something, his father would just agree and never dare to say anything else.

Tan Tai Ming Yue is still very kind, after all, she is lenient when it comes to taking things from others.

"Mother, you did say you would leave 10% for my brother and 20% for me."

Tan Tai Ming Zhu said angrily, "Tan Tai Ming Yue, these gifts are all mine and have nothing to do with you."

"Mother, I didn't hear anything just now. You should just confiscate them all and leave them for my dowry."

Tan Tai Ming Zhu felt as if two horns had grown on Tan Tai Ming Yue's head, turning her into a devil who ate people without leaving any bones behind.
