Miracle Farmer with Special Abilities-Chapter 713 - 0: Dying of Laughter, Six Funny Guys’ Big Adventure_1
Half an hour later, the horsetail whisk loosened, and Zhang Bin fell out from within it.
The next part of the ritual was Zhang Bin’s succession as Sect Leader, a matter that was announced by Li Taiqing. Of course, this had all been pre-arranged with Zhang Bin. The given reason was that the Taiqing Sect’s many Elders all needed to enter seclusion to break through their bottlenecks and thus had no time to manage the sect’s affairs. Therefore, Zhang Bin would take on the role of Sect Leader, while Li Taiqing would serve as an Elder. The two of them would be responsible for all matters concerning the sect.
What followed was another flurry of activity and another complex ceremony. Zhang Bin took his seat on the rosewood chair below the hall’s dais, accepting the prostrations of all the disciples.
"We pay homage to the Ancestral Master! We pay homage to the Sect Leader!" all the disciples yelled frantically.
After the ceremony, there was a grand feast for the guests, a night of revelry.
Meanwhile, Ma Rufei, Chen Chaoyue, Zhang Haijun, Zhao Dawei, Qian Bing, and Sun Tie snuck into the Ancestral Master’s Shrine. Ma Rufei whispered, "Brothers, the Jade Scroll in the Ancestral Master’s hand holds the most miraculous Cultivation Technique. Cultivating it will allow one to achieve Ascension to the Immortal Realm. It’s a Cultivation Technique that neither the Sect Leader nor any of the Taiqing Sect’s seniors could obtain because they’re too stupid. Today is our chance to perform a great service! If we get the Jade Scroll and present it to the Sect Leader, he’ll surely praise us. He might even spare us from seclusion until death."
"The Sect Leader and the Elders are too stupid? What do you mean by that?" Chen Chaoyue asked, a look of confusion on his face.
The others also pricked up their ears. If they could obtain the Jade Scroll, what an honor that would be! Surely then they wouldn’t be forced into seclusion.
"Damn, you guys are just as stupid," Ma Rufei said scornfully. "Think about it. Why was the Ancestral Master able to manifest his power?"
"Why? Because the Ancestral Master’s Divine Skills are vast, of course," Qian Bing blurted out.
"Ugh..." Ma Rufei massaged his forehead. "There’s no doubting the Ancestral Master’s vast Divine Skills, but he ascended to the Immortal Realm thousands of years ago. He can only be formidable in the Immortal Realm. Down here, his statue shouldn’t have any mana. It’s obvious the power comes from the Divine Skills of the Magical Treasures he forged. That horsetail whisk is a terrifying Magical Treasure, perhaps even a High-grade Magical Artifact. Even an expert like the Sect Leader couldn’t withstand it and was bound in an instant."
"You have a point, but what does that have to do with them being stupid?" Zhao Dawei asked, astonished.
"If they’re Magical Treasures, and they can bind a person for half an hour, then there’s a simple way to bypass them," Ma Rufei said proudly. "As long as we can keep all the Magical Treasures occupied for that half hour, someone else can grab the Jade Scroll."
"Great idea!" Excitement and thrill spread across the faces of all the fools.
They weren’t idiots; they were all quite clever. They instantly understood Ma Rufei’s meaning. If the horsetail whisk was busy binding one person, it probably couldn’t deal with a second. The same logic would apply to the other Magical Treasures. At most, the Ancestral Master Statue couldn’t have six Magical Treasures on it. It was impossible for it to bind all six of them simultaneously. The one left over could naturally grab the Jade Scroll. Perhaps the Ancestral Master was just testing his disciples’ intelligence.
"So, who’s going to be the guinea pig?"
They all looked at each other.
"Let’s play for it..."
They all had the same idea at once. So, they began to play a finger-guessing game, loudly chanting verses as they played.
Soon, they had a loser: Sun Tie.
He charged forward with reckless abandon, reaching out to grab the Jade Scroll. But of course, he was instantly bound by the horsetail whisk like a rice dumpling, shrunk to the size of an egg, and left dangling in the air.
"How incredible..." the other fools shouted excitedly in unison.
"The Ancestral Master’s Magical Treasure is too powerful! I didn’t even have time to react!" Sun Tie shouted in shock from within the whisk’s grasp.
The second loser was Zhao Dawei. He walked over with a sullen expression, one hundred percent certain that the Ancestral Master had more Magical Treasures and his fate would be no better. Being bound for half an hour was inevitable.
And so it was. Before he could even touch the Jade Scroll, he was pulled in by the Taiji Pattern on the Taoist Robe, shrinking to the size of a peanut and becoming immobilized.
"My gods, that’s terrifying," the remaining fools were so shocked they were almost struck dumb. When had they ever seen such miraculous Magical Treasures? When had they ever witnessed such fearsome Divine Skills?
Their fervor, however, only grew.
The third loser was Ma Rufei. He leaped forward like a bolt of lightning, reaching for the Jade Scroll. Having opened nine meridians, he could now be considered a minor expert.
WHOOSH...
The Gourd on the statue’s hip suddenly opened and swallowed Ma Rufei whole.
The other fools stood stunned for a long moment before they snapped out of it.
Chen Chaoyue stepped forward, brimming with confidence. "Hehe, the Ancestral Master’s three Magical Treasures are all occupied now," he said excitedly. "I can definitely get the Jade Scroll this time."
Zhang Haijun and Qian Bing watched with faces full of anticipation, as did the two guys trapped by the horsetail whisk and the Taiji Pattern.
However, they were all quickly disappointed. The Gourd opened once again and sucked Chen Chaoyue in as well.
"What do we do now?" Zhang Haijun and Qian Bing stared at each other, their eyes glued to the Gourd. They were both trying to guess just how many people it could hold.
"Go for it! That Gourd’s tiny, it can’t possibly hold three people!" shouted Zhao Dawei, still trapped by the Taiji Pattern.
Qian Bing had no choice but to rush forward, but in the blink of an eye, he was also pulled in by the Taiji Pattern, immobilized right next to Zhao Dawei.
They were utterly speechless.
Zhang Haijun, the lucky one who had lasted to the very end, began to have second thoughts. "Brothers," he said apologetically, "it’s not that I, Zhang Haijun, am disloyal, but the Ancestral Master’s Magical Treasures are simply too powerful. I think I’ll go get a drink. You guys can just... cool off here." 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖
With that, he started to back away.
"Stop right there!" Chen Chaoyue, presumably from inside the Gourd, roared furiously. "If you dare walk out of here, you’re no longer our brother!"
"Brother Chaoyue, it’s enough that you’re all suffering," Zhang Haijun said with a pained expression. "Why do you have to drag me down with you?"
"What suffering? This is the perfect opportunity! The Gourd can only hold two people, and the Taiji Pattern can only hold two people. The horsetail whisk only trapped Sun Tie, and once it lets go, he’ll be free! And you’re backing out? Are you an idiot? Hurry up and get the Jade Scroll before time runs out!" Chen Chaoyue raged.
Zhang Haijun tilted his head and thought for a moment. It seemed to make sense, so he bravely charged forward.
Then, with a WHOOSH, he too was sucked into the Gourd.
And just like that, the entire group of six fools was wiped out, all of them imprisoned.
Inside the Gourd, Ma Rufei and Chen Chaoyue saw Zhang Haijun appear. They both gave him a look one might reserve for an idiot. Ma Rufei said, "How could you be so foolish? This Gourd is huge, it could probably hold hundreds of thousands of people, and you still went for the Jade Scroll?"
Zhang Haijun was immensely frustrated, but he put on a carefree front. "I just came in to have a look around."
