Now that you’re here, it’s all boring. Xianmao, what do you think we should do?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>True Person Danri sat in her seat, propping her chubby pink hand against her chin, speaking to the clan chief, who still stood frozen, unable to recover from his shock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When a True Person questioned him, what could Clan Chief Wang Xianmao do?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old clan chief reacted swiftly, immediately turning to roar at the two brothers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You brats! Did you just offend True Person Danri?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed the clan chief chose to first punish the little brats—but this choice wasn’t so simple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It carried superb reflexes, bitter restraint, unyielding willpower... and love for his clan’s younger generation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If these two brats had indeed offended True Person Danri, then Wang Xianmao’s reaction was perfectly calibrated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Master, if they were disrespectful, I’ve already scolded them—enough already.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If they didn’t offend True Person Danri, then getting scolded by their own clan chief wouldn’t hurt them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A modern twenty-first-century prefab giant baby like Yu’an is unsuited to this cruel cultivation world; his resilience before the ten consecutive trials was the best proof.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Rong gave Yu’an a brutal slap that forced him to choose: either learn to adapt, or don’t step into it—go home and raise donkeys!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, Yu’an actually had a choice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a choice—a luxury beyond measure, forged by over a dozen generations of Wang ancestors through relentless struggle, held open for him before the wheel of fate rolled over the thirteen-year-old boy!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Wang Xianmao had none of that now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>True Person Danri was probably joking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet Wang Xianmao had not the slightest courage to gamble—even the slightest hint of daring was absent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With his superb reflexes, the clan chief chose bitter restraint, his unyielding willpower yielding the safest possible response after the True Person’s seemingly teasing question.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Children, don’t blame your clan chief for being ungentle—you don’t understand what these True Person are.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>True Person and ordinary people are two different kinds of beings!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hahaha, I must’ve offended them by interrupting their tea. Hahaha!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the two unlucky brothers get scolded again by their own clan chief, True Person Danri burst into laughter once more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They came to Baili Xuan for a pot of spirit tea, only to be startled by themselves, then reluctantly decide to finish their tea and flee.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now they couldn’t even flee—and were caught by their own clan chief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Amazing!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No offense, Elder! She was just joking with us—no offense at all!” Yulou hurried to say.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Standing before the True Person, Yulou had no nerve to believe the chubby girl’s mockery of them was an offense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could a True Person’s actions even be called an offense?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They absolutely could not!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was called sharing joy with the common folk—that was the True Person’s profound affectionate prodding!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this kind of prodding was too profound; Yulou simply hadn’t grasped it in that moment!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Boring, boring. All of you Wangs are cut from the same mold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yinghua Senior Brother was like this, and now, a thousand years later, you, Xianmao, are the same—and this child too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why hasn’t your Wang clan produced a Purple Mansion cultivator in over a thousand years?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s because you lack the boldness to charge forward!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yinghua Senior Brother?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Yinghua, the fourth son of the progenitor Wang Xuanying?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yulou didn’t have time to think further before True Person Danri pointed at the clan chief again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Go. You’ve ruined my mood. Go pick several male entertainers from Baili Xuan and have them perform on stage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’m not in a position to do it myself—those cultivators only ever pick female entertainers, and I’m about to fall asleep watching them.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Xianmao’s mind still echoed with the words “because you lack the boldness to charge forward.” Hearing True Person Danri’s command, he immediately bowed deeply in response.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ll arrange it right away. Shall I get you a better private booth upstairs? The view’s better there.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At these words, Yulou’s gaze toward the clan chief changed instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clan Chief... judging by this, you’ve clearly spent plenty here at Baili Xuan, haven’t you?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No need. Anywhere’s fine.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>True Person Danri casually swept Yulou and Yu’an over to her seat and said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ll test these two children’s spiritual roots—I won’t let you waste your spirit stones.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Xianmao was overjoyed, and cheerfully went off to contact the male entertainers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>True Person Danri placed her chubby little hand on Yulou’s shoulder; Yulou tensed like a drawn bowstring.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Relax. Six Fire, four Water. For Qi Refining, choose... hmm, the Drip Cave’s Reverse Vein Gui Water Qi—it suits you best, and it’s top-tier in combat.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Refining, Qi Refining—the greatest difference among Qi Refining cultivators lies in the type of qi they cultivate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Power, effects, compatibility—all must be considered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You, on the other hand, have eight Metal, two Earth. Too much Metal, and your Earth root is too thin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this case, you have two choices: the Red Lantern’s Rust Iron Yin Metal Qi will let you reach Foundation Establishment fastest, but you’ll need to supplement four meridian foundations afterward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Or use a dual Metal-Earth spiritual qi—your Wang clan’s Red Rock Wash Metal Qi works fine. Any better choice would demand enormous cost.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>True Person Danri, of Purple Mansion stature, was helping them discern their spiritual root traits and guiding their Qi Refining path.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hongmei had come to meet True Person Danri for precisely this reason—he wanted her to assess whether his Qi Refining progress had reached the Foundation Establishment threshold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet now, the opportunity Hongmei had begged for, Yulou and Yu’an had simply received effortlessly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How did they get it?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They came to Baili Xuan for a pot of spirit wine, endured the sight of female immortals, drank while watching—and got it!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Where could Hongmei possibly complain?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wang Yulou, Wang Yu’an, thank you, True Person, for your guidance!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>True Person Danri waved her hand, turned her gaze to the stage in the center of Baili Xuan’s pool, and picked up another spirit fruit to devour.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On stage, the male entertainers Wang Xianmao had requested had begun sword dancing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to these two old children who, now aware of her true identity, were stiff and restrained, the True Person clearly preferred watching handsome, elegant male entertainers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Master, are you satisfied with these?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Xianmao returned and asked respectfully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Acceptable.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>True Person Danri was here only for entertainment; she had seen too many prodigies and brilliant talents to be impressed—it was like having tasted every kind of rare delicacy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Coming to Baili Xuan was purely out of boredom—to sample some wild flavor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then enjoy your show—I’ll take these two brats and leave.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Standing before a Purple Mansion cultivator wasn’t strictly beneficial; such great cultivators could decide the fate of the entire Wang clan with a single thought. Wang Xianmao wanting to leave quickly was perfectly normal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>True Person Danri spoke with deliberate meaning:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“They’re not brats. Your Wang clan has a worthy successor—these two boys are only thirteen and already visiting Baili Xuan. Remarkable indeed~”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu’an was stunned. He turned to his elder brother, his eyes full of confusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Brother, didn’t the True Person just say she was helping us prove we were only here for tea?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why did she change her mind?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thank you, True Person, for your guidance—I’ll definitely give them a good beating later!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Saying this, Wang Xianmao glared at the two.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hahaha, enough, Xianmao, you’re too easily flustered. Go on, go.”\u003C\u002Fp>",1461,"2026-06-20T15:48:26.995Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","eccb3496769cacb4687e1da85847c18487aa90d28e4a0afaa45da0e2605c1648","ascending-to-the-jade-palace-chapter-33","ascending-to-the-jade-palace-chapter-31",243,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fascending-to-the-jade-palace-cover.jpg"]
