Chapter 523 Even Darker Than Working Illegally
"There are still six months until the sect competition! Instead of cultivating properly and finishing your studies, you're hiding in the woods drinking milk tea! What kind of behavior is this!"
“Master, we didn’t mean it. Besides, this is spiritual food; it’s said to greatly increase one’s cultivation after drinking it…”
"And the number has increased dramatically? I think you're just making up an excuse. From today onwards, no one is allowed to leave the sect. Everyone, focus on your cultivation!"
"No, Master!"
"There's no room for negotiation. If I hadn't seen that there were fewer monsters, I wouldn't have let you go so easily."
There aren't many Black Wind Boars, so next time you spar with monsters, try fighting other monsters instead of always fighting Black Wind Boars.
There are only a few left. Breeding them is such a hassle. Every time I buy from those Beast Taming Sect members, I have to pay a much higher price. Even though it's all black market trading, why are they charging such high prices...?
The members of the Weapon Sect watched their Second Elder chatter on and on for a long time until the morning class finally ended, at which point the Second Elder stopped speaking.
After the Second Elder left, the voices among the gathered cultivators became increasingly noisy.
"Master is really something. We have good cultivators in our Weapon Sect. Anyway, we always rank last in the Academy Competition every ten years. It would be better not to sign up at all. Signing up is useless and embarrassing."
"That's different. We still have to register. We're not afraid of any sect."
"Hehe, not being afraid is one thing, not being able to beat them is another. Let me ask you, our Weapon Sect is full of weapon cultivators, what do we use to fight? Rely on our muscles? Physical strength can't beat physical cultivators, and magic can't beat magic cultivators. It's really worrying."
"Don't worry, you're going to be at the bottom anyway. If you ask me, you might as well eat some spiritual food to improve your cultivation. Why doesn't Master believe it? Drinking milk tea can really raise your cultivation level by a lot."
"Don't even mention Master, I wouldn't have believed it at first either. Who knew this little thing was so magical and so addictive."
"So what do we do now, continue cultivating?"
"Hey, let's not repair it anymore. I'm just curious, who in our sect is so powerful? I heard that he has killed more than a hundred Black Wind Boars in the past month, some are D-level and some are A-level. He kills four or five at a time, and does it without anyone noticing. By the way, do you know Jin Dazhu?"
Jin Dazhu was dizzy. He hadn't learned much from the Weapon Sect. The elders of the Weapon Sect often trained them as sword cultivators, which wasn't too bad for Jin Dazhu, but it was a hardship for his main profession. He hadn't learned any professional knowledge at all.
"I don't know, but I feel like it was probably played by multiple people."
"Alright, alright, let's not talk about that anymore. By the way, did you know that a new sect has been built next door?" Big Sword spoke up from the crowd.
Da Dao was among the first group of cultivators to enter the Weapon Sect, and he was always well-informed. When he said this, everyone else became curious.
Greatsword and Greatsword were twin brothers. Hearing Greatsword's words, he nodded, then shook his head.
"I think I know something about it. Is it the group of sword cultivators from this morning?"
"The new sect next door? When did that happen?"
Claymore: "In the next few days."
Big Knife: "That's right, those sword cultivators this morning were from the sect next door."
Greatsword scratched his head: "If those people really are from the sect next door, then I think that sect is a bit strange."
"How is it strange?"
After thinking for a moment, Da Jian said, "They blocked me today and made me register for an app called 'Xiaoyao Sect is the best in the world.' Then they made me take on tasks in it. They said that since our Weapon Sect can make weapons, it can definitely make houses too. In the end, the price they offered was three meals a day."
"The Free and Unfettered Sect! The sect next door is the Free and Unfettered Sect? Damn, why didn't you say so sooner? I've always been curious about the Free and Unfettered Sect. I've heard it said online that it's in our Yangzhou, but I never knew where it was. Turns out it's right next door, hahaha."
Jin Dazhu squeezed in: "Three meals a day, huh? I'm thinking of going."
"Go to hell! Don't forget the uproar on the StarNet about the Free and Unfettered Sect feeding cultivators demon flesh. We've been practicing abstinence from grains for a day and three meals a day. They think they can get us to go to the Free and Unfettered Sect? That's a really good plan." Big Knife spat fiercely.
Da Jian agreed, "Da Zhu, you shouldn't go. It's too shady, even worse than working illegally. They make us build houses without paying spirit stones. It's blatant bullying, they're just taking advantage of our ignorance of the market."
"Greatsword, don't speak yet. This has nothing to do with the market rate. They're just using us as free labor. I'd like to give you all a piece of advice: don't be fooled by those cultivators from the Free and Unfettered Sect. I feel like they're very clever. Otherwise, how could so many cultivators be tricked into becoming disciples of the Free and Unfettered Sect, and why is there such a continuous stream of them?"
"Correct!"
No matter what the greatsword says, the greatsword always obeys the greatsword unconditionally.
After hearing what the two said, those who were originally uninterested in the Free and Unfettered Sect began to pay attention to it instead.
People tend to do the things they're told not to do.
Jin Dazhu wandered back and forth at the foot of Xiaoyao Sect Mountain, and in that short time, he ran into Zhong Liyu.
Zhong Liyu and Jin Dazhu still have some connection; they were on the same team during the previous university competition.
Zhong Liyu has been exploring an app that the Xiaoyao Sect had asked them to register for these past few days—Xiaoyao Sect Genius Number One.
The app's name is a bit embarrassing, but its interactive design is incredibly addictive.
The app has several modules, such as the Bounty Hunter module, which mainly involves accepting and completing sect missions.
If it's just a matter of getting spirit stones as a reward for successfully completing a mission, the most important thing is that the hunter's level can be displayed in the personal list, and the higher the level, the cooler the homepage will be.
Of course, there's another point: the guaranteed reward for completing the task is spirit food, which would drive anyone crazy.
Since registering on the app, Zhong Liyu has been constantly taking on tasks, much like leveling up in a game.
It's almost like an addiction.
The Bounty Hunter module is most closely related to sect missions, with the theme being sect infrastructure construction.
Sect cultivators can either design and build sect buildings themselves or hire others to build them.
Zhong Liyu was pondering how to complete this task when she ran into Jin Dazhu.
Jin Dazhu was wearing the sect robes of the Weapon Cultivation Sect. A few days ago, they had tried to seduce several weapon cultivators but failed. Unexpectedly, Zhong Liyu ran into an acquaintance today.
"Jin Dazhu, it feels like ages have passed in five years."
Jin Dazhu nodded shyly in greeting, but before he could speak, Zhong Liyu draped her arm over his shoulder.
"Brother Dazhu, I have a project here. Are you interested in making some money?"
As Zhong Liyu spoke, he raised his eyebrows, unconsciously adopting a lewd expression.
