Chapter 153: Flying Sparrow Sect Disciples Working, Longevity Sect Paying?
The energy pool would take a while to unlock.
During the time Song Jiulai departed for Liuxian City, the Sect Channel was as lively as a marketplace.
Her estimation was correct; those who paid to speak didn’t stop. If it weren’t for the fee, Song Jiulai would have had no chance to see new messages in the Sect Channel.
【Lin Yuyu: Buying large quantities of Demonic Beast Material, bring wholesale prices MMMMMM】
【Zhou Baobao: Can you fall in love in this game?】
【An Xiu: A cultivation game and you want to fall in love? Men will only slow down your sword-drawing speed!】
【Zhou Baobao: I’m a girl, you know~】
【Honghuang: ……】
【Zhou Nüzi: ……How come the surname Zhou feels tainted? And upstairs, don’t be so extravagant, ten points per speech is really expensive.】
【Han Tian: Is there anyone who can make a Profound Grade Magic Treasure right now?】
【Xue Yao: I can.】
【Han Tian: I’ll private message you to discuss.】
……
After the Demonic Beast invasion, the Flying Sparrow Sect was said to be in ruins, but that wasn’t quite the case.
They didn’t even reach the city.
It was just that the Spiritual Fields suffered extensive damage, and the Players were preparing to re-plan the area.
Other than that, there wasn’t much else.
Moreover, in this battle, several Players directly entered the Late Qi Condensation Stage.
By the time the Foundation Establishment Stage disciples of the Flying Sparrow Sect returned, the changes in the Longevity Sect officially caught their attention.
For example, one disciple who returned was at the Late Foundation Establishment Stage.
With the Golden Core Stage Sect Master absent, this could be considered the Flying Sparrow Sect’s current highest combat power.
Shui Ping’s Master, Du Lixin, was currently in seclusion, leaving Dong Yulan as the Pillar of the Community for the Flying Sparrow Sect.
She was stationed in Cave Demon Valley for extended periods and rarely returned.
She was a Battle Maniac among Battle Maniacs.
If it weren’t for such a major event as the Demonic Beast invasion, Dong Yulan wouldn’t have returned.
Dong Yulan had also investigated the route of the previous Demonic Beast invasion but found no clues.
She had returned with Shui Ping, and after investigating, Dong Yulan frowned slightly: “It doesn’t look like the trace of a Demonic Cultivator.”
They had previously speculated that the sudden Demonic Beast invasion was the work of the Demonic Cultivator from the Spirit Fox Sect, which was why Dong Yulan had rushed back.
But it wasn’t.
“If not a Demonic Cultivator, then what could it be?”
Shui Ping was also very worried: “If Senior Sister Su hadn’t returned so quickly, Wang’an County might have faced a major disaster this time.”
Dong Yulan turned to her: “Are you saying that Wang’an County was safe this time entirely because the Longevity Sect blocked the Demonic Beasts?”
Shui Ping nodded: “Yes, I didn’t expect their City Wall to be so useful. I thought it was useless before…”
But it proved to be of great use this time.
The Demonic Beasts’ venom did not spread inside, and the Mortals were unaffected.
This was incredible.
However, Dong Yulan said: “That’s not the point.”
The point was where the Longevity Sect got so many Spirit Stones.
Almost everyone had Palm Thunder; this was simply impossible.
Even the Flying Sparrow Sect didn’t have such capabilities.
Dong Yulan had only been back for a day, and she could already feel the unrest among the Flying Sparrow Sect disciples.
She could occasionally hear people whispering about wanting to join the Longevity Sect.
Because the disciples from the Longevity Sect said that as long as they contributed enough, Palm Thunder could be redeemed for free.
Redeemed for free – this was an unbelievable concept in Dong Yulan’s many years of life.
It was normal for disciples to be rewarded with advanced Cultivation Techniques by the Sect Master for significant contributions.
But for every disciple to have it was a different matter entirely.
Although the disciples of the Longevity Sect were all Inner Disciples, there were clearly differences between them. Some disciples who never left the Sect also had Palm Thunder.
Moreover, the Longevity Sect was becoming increasingly powerful…
As she was thinking this, Shui Ping’s palm felt warm. She looked up and said: “Senior Sister Su sent me a message. She likely wants to see us about something.”
Dong Yulan turned: “Then let’s go see.”
She hadn’t been back for a long time and was confused by the current situation.
Her memory of the Longevity Sect was still stuck on the image of the down-and-out Old Sect Master from back then.
He hadn’t joined the Flying Sparrow Sect and had instead founded the Longevity Sect himself.
At the time, no one in the Flying Sparrow Sect paid attention, thinking it was just the obsession of a Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator.
Could all these things have been left behind after his death?
How could that be…
Su Huanli’s eyes lit up when she saw Dong Yulan and Shui Ping return: “Elder Dong.”
Although called an Elder, Dong Yulan was actually the Sect Master’s disciple before.
However, as a Small Sect lacking prominent figures, Du Lixin and Dong Yulan became the only two Elders.
Dong Yulan was actually still very young, appearing similar in age to Su Huanli and the others. She nodded upon hearing this: “You wanted to see me about something?”
Normally, sect matters wouldn’t involve her. This clearly indicated that Su Huanli wanted to discuss something with her personally.
Su Huanli cautiously began: “A disciple from the Longevity Sect came to see me, saying they want to cooperate with us.”
Shui Ping was surprised: “Who? And what do they want to cooperate with us on?”
Dong Yulan also paused slightly: “They…”
Her gaze was complex. She was just thinking about it, and the Longevity Sect had already come knocking.
Considering what was exposed during the battle, they probably knew they couldn’t hide it anymore.
She just didn’t know what their intentions were for this cooperation.
Su Huanli said with a hint of hidden excitement: “That disciple is named Chen Miaomiao. She said she has mastered the cultivation Technology for Tier 2 Spirit Herb Seedlings. She can now guarantee that all First Order Spirit Herbs can be converted into Tier 2 Spirit Herb Seedlings. She wants to cooperate with us to plant these in our Sect as well.”
Dong Yulan’s eyes widened: “How is that possible?”
Shui Ping was also shocked: “First Order to Second Order, she mastered it? How is that possible!”
If an ordinary Sect could master such a Secret Technique, they would become instantly rich.
How could they reveal it so easily?
“I didn’t dare to believe it at first either, until I saw their Sect’s internal Experimental Fields and Spiritual Fields were all planted with Tier 2 Spirit Herbs. Yes, she called them Experimental Fields.”
She knew then that Chen Miaomiao wasn’t joking.
There were still differences in the Spirit Herbs grown. For example, the number of surviving Tier 2 Spirit Herbs was low depending on which disciple tended to them. However, as long as they mastered the cultivation Technology to reliably convert them into Tier 2 Spirit Herb Seedlings, even if the survival rate wasn’t high, it would still be an astonishing fortune.
For the Flying Sparrow Sect, this cooperation would undoubtedly be a windfall.
It seemed like the Longevity Sect was giving them money.
Dong Yulan certainly didn’t think the Longevity Sect was doing them a favor.
She immediately asked: “What do they want?”
Su Huanli recalled the conditions Chen Miaomiao had mentioned. Because they were so generous, she felt a bit uncertain and guilty: “She said she only needs our disciples to regularly collect seedlings to plant each month. They want to rent all our current Spiritual Fields and the disciples guarding them. The Longevity Sect will be responsible for paying monthly wages, and disciples who perform well will receive additional rewards. For the Spirit Herb profit sharing, it will be fifty-fifty with us.”
Dong Yulan fell silent.
Although she didn’t quite understand the “Working” model that modern people talked about.
This rental arrangement seemed like it was giving money to the Flying Sparrow Sect.
But she found it incredibly dangerous.
The Longevity Sect paying monthly wages to the Flying Sparrow Sect disciples?
