The Mightiest Little Peasant

“You’ll do this first, then… and then…”

In a room, Tang Hao was teaching the Taoist masters how to craft jade talismans.

He was teaching them very carefully, explaining every step clearly.

The Taoist masters were also learning very seriously, memorizing every word Tang Hao said.

“Alright, so that’s the process of crafting talismans. The rest is up to practice until it comes as second nature,” Tang Hao said as he stood up.

“Remember to frequent the stone-gambling stores and get some jade to practice.”

“Thank you, Fellow Cultivator Tang!”

The Taoist masters got up and thanked him one after another.

“What are you thanking me for? Just practice and don’t make a fool of yourselves. That’ll be enough!” Tang Hao said with a smile.

When they walked out of the room, they saw Taoist Master Qian Ji and a group of white-haired old Taoist masters waiting outside.

“Come, come. Let’s have dinner together. It’s already dark. Why not stay here for a night?” Taoist Master Qian Ji pulled Tang Hao and said warmly.

It was hard to decline his kind offer, so Tang Hao stayed and had dinner with them.

After a few glasses of liquor, Taoist Master Qian Ji, “Brother Tang, I have something to discuss with you…”

“What is it?” Tang Hao was startled.

Taoist Master Qian Ji put down his liquor cup and said, “Brother Tang, don’t you think that our Huaxia cultivation world isn’t united?

“Recently, thanks to you, Brother Tang, the various forces have gathered together, which led to the last battle at Nanyang.”

Tang Hao took a sip of liquor and nodded.

Indeed, the Huaxia cultivation world in the past was not united. There might be the Agency, but it did not have a major presence. The cultivation families padded the numbers with their weaker members.

Mao Mountain and Dragon Tiger Mountain, the two greatest forces, were sworn rivals.

Worse still, Dragon Tiger Mountain consisted of a bunch of lazy cowards.

“I have an idea. Let’s set up a union to unite everyone, then make rules and regulations,” Taoist Master Qian Ji said.

“A union?”

“That’s right. Look, every industry has its union, right? Why shouldn’t there be one in the cultivation world? Your identification pendant system happens to make it convenient to set up a union.

“With the union, we can help each other and guide our cultivation world toward prosperity!”

Tang Hao pondered for a moment and got really excited about the idea. “This is great!”

“Exactly!” Taoist Master Qian Ji slapped the table and said excitedly.

“When the time comes, Brother Tang, you’ll be the president! If this were in ancient times, you’ll be the clan leader. How awe-inspiring!”

Tang Hao was surprised and said with a smile, “There’s no need for that!”

“Ha! You don’t have to decline. In the current Huaxia cultivation world, there’s no one more convincing than you. Who else can be the president?” Taoist Master Qian Ji said, “Only you, Brother Tang!

“Brother Tang, you don’t know how much the cultivation families admire you! As long as you say the word, they will immediately rush over.”

“Well…” Tang Hao was hesitant. “I don’t have much time!”

“That’s simple. As a president, you don’t have to do anything. If you need something done, your subordinates will do it.”

“OK!” Tang Hao pondered for a moment and nodded.

“Then that decides it. Come, let’s drink!”

Soon, the news spread out.

In an instant, the entire Huaxia cultivation world was in an uproar.

“What? Senior Tang is going to establish a union, and he’s inviting us to join? Hurry up and let’s go! This is good news!”

The cultivation families were all excited.

To them, Senior Tang was someone dependable. The union would be a good opportunity to ride on his coattails.

At that moment, they chartered a midnight flight and flew to Province J.

Meanwhile, Dragon Tiger Mountain was quite reluctant.

They were used to being carefree and did not like to be restricted. However, if they did not go, they would offend Spiritual Master Tang!

In the current Huaxia cultivation world, they could offend anyone except him!

“Whatever. Let’s go! If we don’t go now, how will we survive in the future?”

The heavenly masters set off for Mao Mountain.

The next morning, the people from the cultivation families and Dragon Tiger Mountain came. Even General Bai came on behalf of the Agency.

“This is a great idea, Comrade Tang Hao! Set up a union and manage everyone. Everyone can communicate with each other and develop together!

“The Higher-Ups are very supportive, especially when you’re becoming the president, Comrade Tang Hao. They trust your character, and they’ll be at ease when you’re in charge,” General Bai said.

The cultivation families and the heavenly masters of Dragon Tiger Mountain gathered together at the main hall. Most of them looked excited.

Setting up a union to unite the entire Huaxia cultivation world was a grand event!

Today, they were all witnesses to history.

When Tang Hao walked out of the main hall, they cheered loudly, “We support you, Senior Tang!”

Tang Hao smiled, waved his hand, and said, “I’m honored to have all your support! The purpose of this union is to improve communication and develop our skills together.

“Of course, it’s also to strengthen self-discipline!

“We’ll discuss the specific rules and organizational structure later. As for the position of the president…”

At that point, people started shouting.

“Do you even need to ask? Of course it’s you, Senior Tang!”

“Yes, we only admire you, Senior Tang! Apart from you, we don’t want anyone else!”

The old heavenly master of Dragon Tiger Mountain also said, “Only Spiritual Master Tang can be president!”

They knew that they would not be able to take the position, but they did not want anyone from Mao Mountain to be president, so they could only recommend Spiritual Master Tang.

Even so, no one in the Huaxia cultivation world could compare to Spiritual Master Tang.

He was a monster to have a high cultivation base at such a young age.

Moreover, he wielded a lot of influence. He was the perfect candidate.

Tang Hao smiled and said, “I’ll be the president by title. Someone else will still have to do the work.”

“That’ll be Elder Qian Ji!”

“Yes, yes! Elder Qian Ji has a high cultivation base and is also the leader of Mao Mountain. He is worthy of this position!”

The heavenly masters did not look too pleasant, but they could not say anything when they saw everyone else supporting that decision so enthusiastically.

“Since everyone has agreed, let’s choose him. Next, let’s discuss the specifics,” Tang Hao said.

The discussion started from early morning and lasted until late into the night, and only then they settled some fundamental issues. It took them another night of discussion to finalize all the details.

They wrote down their organizational charter, and everyone signed on it and appended their thumbprints.

The Huaxia Cultivators’ Union was officially established!

At noon the next day, the people left after a lively banquet.

Tang Hao gave some more pointers on talisman-crafting to the Taoist masters before leaving.

He did not go back to Westridge. Instead, he went to River Delta City.

He had promised Teacher Jiang that he would visit her at River Delta City. It happened to be along the way.

After arriving at River Delta City, Tang Hao gave Teacher Jiang a call.
