Cultivation System: All I Want Is To Fail My Mission! - Chapter 16
Chapter 16: The Old Daoist Priest

Jiang Yu didn’t reply.
Was he not diligent enough?
“Then give me more missions. Didn’t I say this to you before too? Give me more missions like this.”
Not only did it not receive any praise, but it also seemed to have been reprimanded by its host. The system was unhappy, [Host, you have to be grateful. Not everyone can have a good system like me.]
As they chatted, Jiang Yu arrived at the entrance of the villa and saw an old man standing at the gate.
Despite the old man’s tattered clothes, they did not conceal his sage-like aura.
This was…
[He should be considered one of the more powerful ones in the local cultivation world.] The system could tell at a glance and let out a disdainful laugh. [Although his aptitude is not bad, his luck is not good. He has never found the right method and has only reached this realm in his entire life.]
“What realm?” Jiang Yu asked.
Actually, he could see it too, but he just had to ask the system to be sure.
[You know the answer, yet you still asked me.] The System grumbled, [In short, it’s much worse than yours.]
At this moment, the old man still refused to leave, no matter how the bodyguards persuaded him.
“Daoist priest, this villa has been booked by our young master. Without his permission, no one is allowed to enter.”
“Then call your young master over! You’re talking to the King of the Realm!”
“Sir, if you weren’t an old man, we would have attacked you long ago!”
…
Hearing the commotion at the door getting louder, Jiang Yu spoke in time, “Stop! Why are you making so much noise? Don’t forget that you’re the Jiang family’s bodyguard. If anything happens to me, you’ll embarrass the Jiang family!”
The bodyguards immediately fell silent and the Daoist’s gaze was instantly drawn to Jiang Yu.
“Wow. This is really a once-in-a-century encounter.” He couldn’t help but exclaim, “But this is the first time I’ve seen such a powerful and pure physique for someone so young,”
The old man couldn’t tell what level this young man’s cultivation had reached. But judging from his pure body, this person in front of him must have a high cultivation level.
And since the man was still so young, the Daoist priest thought he could not miss such a good opportunity!
[Host, be careful. He has bad intentions towards you.] The System immediately warned him, [He has a strange look in his eyes.]
He looked like he had taken a fancy to him.
Jiang Yu could naturally tell.
The Daoist priest looked at him as if he had found a rare treasure.
“Don’t worry, I know what to do.”
Jiang Yu took a few steps forward and maintained a suitable distance from the Daoist priest. “Sir, why do you have to enter my villa?”
However, the Daoist priest did not answer his question. Instead, he said excitedly, “I want you to be my disciple! Are you willing?”
Despite the question, it sounded more like a command than a request.
His tone made Jiang Yu feel a little uncomfortable.
Putting aside the fact that his cultivation was not inferior to the old Daoist priest and did not need to acknowledge him as his master, even if his cultivation was not strong, he could not accept such a tone.
“No need. I’m fine with training on my own,” Jiang Yu calmly rejected. “It’s troublesome to have another master for no reason.”
Perhaps this was the first time the old Daoist priest had been rejected. The man was so shocked that he almost jumped up, “What? You dare to reject me!? You actually dare to reject me!”
Was it strange to reject him? There was no need to agree to something that he did not want to do.
“Let me tell you, as long as you become my disciple, your cultivation will greatly increase, much stronger than what you are now!”
Well… Jiang Yu felt that the credibility of his statement wasn’t… credible. At least from what he could gather, the old Daoist priest didn’t have such ability.
“Is there a problem? I’m in charge of my life,” Jiang Yu retorted expressionlessly. “It’s my right to refuse your offer.”
The Daoist priest was in disbelief, but he could not refute his words either.
He didn’t want to, so he couldn’t force him.
The old Daoist priest was a little anxious. He could not let such a good seedling run away like this.
“You… Is there any way to make you agree? I can help you with whatever you need. With my ability, as long as it’s not too much, I can do it for you.”
Jiang Yu shook his head and pointed at the villa behind him. “Then let me ask you first. Do you know how much the villa behind me is worth?”
What kind of question was this? The old Daoist priest felt that this question had nothing to do with him.
He had already cultivated, so why would he care about money?
“Then let me tell you. I used four million to rent it for a year. What else do you think I need?” Jiang Yu said with a straight face. “I don’t need to be your disciple,”
Four million was a stark contrast to the old Daoist priest’s ragged appearance.
Even the old Daoist priest didn’t expect this outcome. He was instantly dumbfounded.
This young man was too rich!
There was a theory that said food can bring out good cultivation results. No wonder this boy’s body could be so pure at a young age, and it was no wonder his cultivation could be so fast.
There was no way for a young master to cultivate with a poor old man like him.
The old Daoist priest gave up very quickly, while the butler, who was watching the whole scene from the side, became dumbfounded.
He didn’t expect the young master to use money to shut the old Daoist priest’s mouth. That’s true. Money can make the world go round. What can’t be solved with money?
Apart from being shocked, the butler was also a little relieved. Now that the young master finally knew how to use money, he was one step closer to inheriting the family property.
The butler turned around and picked up his phone to report the situation to Father Jiang.
“Mr. Jiang, the young master finally knows the benefits of having money…”
Jiang Yu didn’t have the mood to care about what the butler did. He only confronted the old Daoist priest in front of him. “So do you understand? I don’t need to be your disciple. I can live well on my own. If you understand, please leave immediately.”
The old Daoist priest immediately felt extremely uneasy.
He suddenly remembered his main purpose for coming here and quickly added, “Can I go in and take a look?”
He had clearly felt the thick spiritual energy here. What was inside? He had to find out! Perhaps… It could allow his cultivation to advance further.
Jiang Yu naturally knew why he was here. After thinking for a while, he agreed. “Sure, I’ll show you around.”
So what if there was spiritual energy? This villa was his for the year, and the could do anything about it.
When the Daoist entered the manor, he immediately felt his entire body wrapped in a strong spiritual energy.
Based on his senses, he walked in the direction of the rich spiritual energy and finally stopped in front of the hot springs.
“This is the place!”
This was the place where Jiang Yu cultivated last night. Jiang Yu knew that he would come here. But, so what?
The old Daoist priest pushed the door open. The moment he walked into the hot spring area, the dense spiritual energy immediately disappeared without a trace.
“What’s going on?” He shouted in shock.
From his senses, this should be the place with the densest spiritual energy. How could it suddenly disappear into thin air?
His honed sense could not be wrong! The spiritual energy must still be hidden here!
Therefore, the old Daoist priest began to search the entire area.
Seeing this, Jiang Yu asked, “What are you looking for?”
