The Half-Star Sect disciple left behind a small pouch. It had money in it. Naturally, it belonged to him.

"Master Huang Lu." The young master of the Immortal Flames said. Huang Lu turned to see a man who's halfway prostrated on the floor. "Thank you for defeating the foul Half Star Sect!"

"Ah." Huang Lu said. He would've stepped in anyway. He didn't like cultivators that bullied normal people. He didn't like bullies, generally. It was strange, looking at this young master who was clearly a bully. Never mind, he will dispense wisdom and kindness when he saw fit.

At that moment, he felt the world freeze.

[You've earned 50 Heavenly Coins]

[You've received one token of Heavenly Favor. Rolling the heavenly dices]

[D10 result - 7. Get an item - Roll a D6]

[D6 result - 6 - Get a weak item!]

[You've received a Pill of Lesser Ascension - Useful for cultivators in the 2nd realm and under. You do not need this pill as you are a heavenly cultivator]

Huang Lu decided to keep the pill, and the pill magically appeared in a strange pocketspace. Maybe it'd be useful for Qian Ziyi, since the system already marked her as a harem member.

The young master of the Immortal Flames continued his statement. "Master Huang Lu, may we invite you to visit our sect for some pointers. Your wisdom will be most appreciated." Another invitation. Was he going to get an invitation all the time?

A case of theft: this story is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation.

It was weird to be referred to as 'master Huang Lu', but since he did beat the bad guy, he supposed he would naturally appear as a master. "How's your friend?"

The young master looked back to the still delirious lackey, and Huang Lu approached him. The lackey was still talking shit. "I'm a failure! I'm a worthless piece of shit who can't string sentences together! Everything I do is soulless, emotionless and tacked together with duct tape."

"How long does this last?" Huang Lu looked at the young master.

The young master shrugged. "I don't know. Some people take the half-stars a lot harder than the rest."

The lackey was still delirious. "I can't take this. This world is toxic. The world of cultivation is so toxic. I should just stop and go somewhere peaceful and quiet."

Huang Lu lifted him up. "Get a grip, dude."

"I can't. There's nothing for me here. I suck. I'm horrible. I don't even have Spoteefai Preeemium!"

"What the fuck is that." Huang Lu looked at the young master and the young master shrugged. The young master's two other lackeys knocked him out. "He needs sleep."

"Where is the Immortal Flames, anyway?"

"Oh, in the next town." The Young Master said, his eyes seemed brighter. "I take that Master Huang Lu would be keen to visit? I will make the arrangements!"

Huang Lu paused. "Uh... I suppose a visit can't hurt." He was supposed to visit the Wild Blood Sect, but they never quite mention a date or time. So it doesn't really matter the order of the visits. The young master bowed.

"Most appreciated, Master Huang Lu! We will make the arrangements promptly!" They left quickly, and Huang Lu sighed.

He walked to a guy who had his stall damaged by the battle with the Half Star Sect, and checked his newly found pouch of money. "Here's some money to compensate for the damage."

The man looked thankful. "Thank you, Master Huang." It felt weird. Just few weeks ago he was a nobody!

Just as he was walking back to the inn, he felt a prickly feeling on his skin. He turned and saw a man looking at him. He wore a jade-green robe with blue stripes.

"Master Huang Lu, that was an admirable performance against the Half Star Sect. May we exchange some pointers?"

Ah fuck, another one of those fight-crazy fucks.
