Shen Gongbao was clearly taken aback when he saw the system notification that suddenly appeared.

Does that mean I've completed a task?

However, a smile soon appeared on Shen Gongbao's lips.

So, the laziest way to deal with the most unruly kid is to take action instead of just talking!

However, this does seem to have achieved the goal of unity and friendship.

Didn't you see that even though Nezha was still cursing a lot, at least he couldn't lay a hand on his elder?

Looking at the task in front of him, Shen Gongbao suddenly became interested.

Previously, every time I was targeted by my fellow disciples, I would think about how to make them realize their mistakes and eventually repent.

I never imagined that I could use a different approach to make the other person more agreeable.

The pointer on the lottery disc stopped, and the system reward information appeared:

[Congratulations, host! You have gained ten years of cultivation!]

At the same time the reward notification appeared, Shen Gongbao felt a surge of powerful spiritual energy rushing into his body like a tidal wave.

Shen Gongbao immediately sat cross-legged and guided this power to circulate in his meridians.

Half an hour later, Shen Gongbao stood up with a smile, his eyes gleaming.

After ten years of cultivation, Shen Gongbao not only thoroughly consolidated his mid-stage Xuanxian cultivation, but also took another solid step forward on the path to mid-stage Xuanxian.

Although this step is small, the path of cultivation is difficult, and each breakthrough in realm is achieved by accumulating knowledge step by step.

This step signifies that Shen Gongbao has fully embarked on his journey towards the late stage of the Xuanxian realm.

"Junior Brother Shen, your cultivation has improved again?"

Suddenly, the voice of Taiyi Zhenren came.

Shen Gongbao suddenly looked up and followed the sound. He saw Taiyi Zhenren standing not far away, with Nezha beside him, who looked indignant.

"Senior brother, you flatter me."

Shen Gongbao humbly cupped his hands in greeting:

"It was just something I occasionally gained."

His gaze slowly turned to Nezha, a kind and gentle smile appearing on his face, and he said softly:

"Speaking of which, I must thank my junior brother Nezha for giving me a deeper understanding of the hierarchy of the Chan Sect. My senior brother's disciples are indeed all people with great fortune."

After saying that, Shen Gongbao praised Nezha from beginning to end once again.

Only when Taiyi Zhenren was grinning from ear to ear did Shen Gongbao bow and take his leave.

As soon as Shen Gongbao left, Nezha couldn't hold back any longer and started shouting loudly:

"Master, is this how you get justice for me? You're such a useless master!"

Looking at Nezha's puffed-up face, Taiyi Zhenren couldn't help but chuckle.

"Nezha, now you know how to be mean to me? Why didn't you dare say a word when Junior Brother Shen was here?"

Nezha paused, realizing that while he had a bad temper, he wasn't stupid. Shen Gongbao was truly capable of taking action!

Right now, his whole body feels like it's falling apart!

Taiyi Zhenren looked in the direction Shen Gongbao had left and solemnly said:

"Your senior uncle, it seems we all underestimated him before. Now that he has suddenly attained enlightenment, even I can't understand him!"

Having said that, he looked at Nezha with a serious expression and said:

"As for you? Junior Brother Shen was right about one thing just now: you really should change your disrespectful attitude towards your elders."

He paused, then continued:

"Respect for teachers and the Way is the foundation of our Chan Sect. How dare you be so disrespectful to your teacher? This is simply outrageous!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than Master Taiyi swung his whisk sharply, striking Nezha's buttocks like a bolt of lightning.

With a sharp "smack," Nezha's bottom immediately turned bright red.

This is truly not Master Taiyi's fault; it's just that what Shen Gongbao said was too tempting.

Since Shen Gongbao's ability to increase his cultivation level is based on his ability to fight Nezha.

And what about him?

Could he also increase his cultivation by teaching Nezha a lesson?

………

Shen Gongbao didn't hear Nezha's screams because he had already found his second candidate.

Although the reward for this Unity and Friendship mission is only a mere Bronze-level reward, it is a rare 100-times-a-year mission.

After teaching Nezha a lesson, the optional mission 2 automatically changed to Unity and Friendship (2/100).

Even a small mosquito is still meat, not to mention that this is a spot-the-difference task that Shen Gongbao is quite interested in.

"In order to rectify the unhealthy tendencies of the Chan Sect and restore a united and friendly sect atmosphere, I, Shen Gongbao, am going all out!"

In the days that followed, Shen Gongbao seemed to have opened the door to a new world. He wandered around the Jade Void Palace, specifically targeting those arrogant third-generation disciples.

“Nephew Lu Tong, why don’t you bow to me, your Uncle Shen? Is this how your Senior Brother Wu Liang teaches you?”

"Nephew Hetong, your attire is so revealing, what kind of behavior is this? Go change right now!"

“Nephew Yang Jian, although I know you and Xiaotian Dog are like brothers, but…”

...

The Chan Sect places great emphasis on hierarchical order, making it difficult for senior disciples to find fault with each other.

But who told you all to take on so many apprentices?

Shen Gongbao may not have much else, but his seniority is undeniable!

Once you find the right direction, there will be people everywhere!

The third-generation disciples of Yuxu Palace had considered resisting Shen Gongbao's almost provocative behavior.

But how could they possibly contend with Shen Gongbao's cultivation at the mid-stage of the Xuanxian realm?

Not to mention that Shen Gongbao also has a powerful weapon like the Thunder Whip that can defeat even a great demon like Nezha in no time.

Therefore, for a time, the atmosphere within the Chan Sect really improved significantly.

As Shen Gongbao continued to make his moves, those little devils who usually caused chaos throughout the Chan Sect all withdrew their sharp edges.

………………

Meanwhile, in the sleeping quarters of the Pure Void Moral True Lord

Ju Liusun said with great distress:

"Senior brother, we really can't stay in Jade Void Palace anymore. If this continues, the entire Jade Void Palace will eventually become Shen Gongbao's one-man show!"

"Junior brother is absolutely right."

The True Lord of Pure Emptiness and Morality had a gloomy expression:

"This Shen Gongbao has really gone too far lately."

"Bang!"

Ju Liusun slammed his hand on the table, shattering it, and the teacups shattered with a crash.

"Senior brother, this matter absolutely cannot be left unresolved!"

His eyes burned with rage, and his hands clenched so tightly in his sleeves that they cracked.

The Pure Void Moral True Lord stroked his long beard, a sinister glint flashing in his eyes:

“Since Shen Gongbao wants to meddle, let him meddle. I want to see if he can incur the wrath of heaven and the resentment of the people. Junior Brother Ju Liusun, you first… and then…”

Upon hearing this, Ju Liusun was taken aback at first, then clapped his hands and laughed:

"Wonderful! As expected of Senior Brother Qingxu Daode, I'd like to see how Shen Gongbao can stay in the Chan Sect after this!"
