Chapter 104: What Does This Dog Thing Do in Real Life?
Even Shuitan couldn’t entirely suppress his excitement.
He quickly thanked the Fifth Elder, who then dismissed him, citing the need for rest.
If not for that strange feeling in his heart, this Fifth Elder could almost be considered charitable.
It wasn’t until he left the room and saw Jiang Qi waiting outside.
Jiang Qi had already received a sound transmission and looked at Shuitan with a forced smile, “Congratulations, Ninth Junior Brother.”
His expression didn’t reveal whether he was happy for Shuitan or something else.
But he didn’t seem displeased either.
Shuitan said seriously, “Please guide me often in the future, Senior Brother Jiang.”
Jiang Qi turned his head away, “Every disciple of Master has their own residence. I’ll take you there. From now on, you are Master’s disciple. Don’t disgrace his name when you’re out and about.”
“I know, Senior Brother. I will work hard to repay Master for his cultivation.”
Only then did Jiang Qi turn his head back, giving Shuitan a meaningful glance.
Shuitan’s expression didn’t show much fawning or surprise; overall, he appeared quite composed.
After a moment, a hint of pity appeared in Jiang Qi’s eyes.
Shuitan feigned curiosity and asked, “Senior Brother Jiang, where are Master’s other disciples?”
“I am your Senior Disciple Brother,” Jiang Qi said. “Your other senior brothers and sisters are all out training. You will go out too, and you’ll meet them sooner or later.”
Shuitan nodded, indicating he wouldn’t ask further.

On First Mountain, the System said to Song Jiulai, “Why can’t there be more suckers like this?”
This Fifth Elder was quite generous.
Because Guanhai Sect’s cultivation techniques were issued one by one as they were cultivated, many inner disciples didn’t even get the full technique directly like Shuitan did.
Truly worthy of being an Elder’s disciple!
Song Jiulai was filled with envy, jealousy, and hatred, “Why does everyone else have it, but I don’t!”
“With me here, what do you have to fear? The things you get from completing tasks will only be better than what these local cultivators offer.”
Song Jiulai compared them and said, “That’s true.”
The System said, “We just happened to run into this Shuitan situation. If an ordinary cultivator fell into the Fifth Elder’s hands, their life would essentially be over.”
No matter how they cultivated, it would all be for the Fifth Elder’s benefit.
Song Jiulai was a bit curious about the Fifth Elder’s wickedness, “Does Guanhai Sect know they have such an Elder?”
“They definitely don’t know, because this is something that would be condemned by everyone in the cultivation world. I’ve only heard of cultivators’ consciousness being attached to puppets to act on their behalf, but never heard of body seizure happening so smoothly. However, I suspect there are definitely cultivators who secretly engage in body seizure.”
Guanhai Sect’s Fifth Elder was not the only one, nor would he be the last.
Who didn’t want longevity?
Even though those at the Nascent Soul Stage and above had lived long enough, they hadn’t reached the ultimate point. They just wanted to live even longer.
When their cultivation couldn’t advance an inch, they would grow increasingly resentful.
They would resent the Heavenly Dao for its unfairness, resent their own inability to break through, and it was only natural for evil thoughts to arise.
Song Jiulai, however, felt, “It’s hard to say.”
Within a sect, if someone was doing something against the rules, and there were beings with higher cultivation, they might not be unaware.
But this kind of thing is hard to say. It’s just gossip within a Major Sect. Song Jiulai, with the System as his cheat, now knows the secrets, which is already astonishing.
She had to keep her mouth shut.
The System didn’t tell Shuitan the Fifth Elder’s intentions either, because he was currently under the Fifth Elder’s surveillance. If telling him the truth caused any trouble, it wouldn’t be good.
It only said it was still analyzing data and told Shuitan to cultivate with peace of mind.
Anyway, the things given were not problematic.
Shuitan himself could sense something was off, but since the System said these cultivation techniques were fine, he naturally accepted them with a smile.
Shuitan hadn’t expected such benefits from coming to Guanhai Sect at the time.
Shuitan debated whether to tell the Players about this matter.
The Players knew he was undercover in Guanhai Sect, but now that this matter was to be revealed, there were too many mouths to keep quiet.
In the end, he asked for the Leader’s opinion, and the Leader also advised against it.
It wasn’t out of fear of the Players’ jealousy, but rather fear that the Players, with their loose lips, might let something slip in the Game. If the local cultivators found out, it would always be problematic.
However, it was truly unexpected that this kid Shuitan was so lucky in playing a game.
Shuitan should now be at the forefront of all Players, right?
Meanwhile, in the Game, Han Tian had already led his people to Peach Blossom Sect.
Peach Blossom Sect also resided on a mountain, but there was only one sect here.
The disciples of Peach Blossom Sect didn’t often go down the mountain, but the traces of Peach Blossom Sect were heavy in the county town below.
This was because peach blossoms were everywhere.
Anyone with a peach blossom allergy would immediately die here.
However, with peach blossoms everywhere, the scenery was naturally very beautiful.
After Han Tian brought his people here, he started a live broadcast, showing everyone the scenery of Peach Blossom Sect’s county town.
With Han Tian’s frequent live broadcasts and the increasing number of places he appeared, most netizens had come to believe that this was indeed a game.
Due to the gimmick of holographic games, Han Tian’s live broadcast viewership was steadily climbing again compared to its initial peak.
Many people even watched his live streams as videos to eat to.
More and more people were asking for quotas under Shattered Sect.
However, with more netizens, there were all sorts of people.
For example, some people always questioned why mortals could coexist peacefully with cultivators.
【 Honestly, if I were a cultivator, I definitely wouldn’t treat mortals as people. The unrealistic part of this game is that there are still mortals under these cultivator sects. Normally, sects would definitely avoid the world. 】
Han Tian saw this comment and directly said, “You can’t say that. On Yunzhou Continent, there are more mortals than cultivators. There has to be a place to accommodate these mortals, and besides, we are Players.”
【 I’m curious, with so many Players, why don’t they unite and rob other cultivators? Wouldn’t killing and looting be faster? 】
Han Tian’s lips twitched, “If you dare to do that, do you really think others won’t be able to find out? How many people are in our entire sect? If we really provoke someone with some background, our entire sect will be finished.”
Moreover, everyone is fundamentally a Player. In reality, they haven’t even killed a chicken or a duck. What’s the difference between a holographic simulation game and reality? Do they dare to kill people?!
Playing a game doesn’t make you a pervert.
【 Playing a game and being timid, fearing this and that, then don’t play at all. What kind of broken game is this? Players enter the game to be emperors, who would play a game like this with so many restrictions? 】
Han Tian said, “Well said. I hope you’ll be just as arrogant when you’re fighting for a quota.”
While Han Tian was live-streaming and bickering with netizens, the Daoist Priest began to inquire about the situation in this county town.
The atmosphere in Wang’an County was relatively free, but he didn’t know the situation here.
Until a familiar person saw the Daoist Priest and the others.
“Huh—?”
Lu Rongyu saw the Daoist Priest and the others and came over excitedly.
“Junior Brother, why are you here? Did you come specifically to find me?”
As soon as the Daoist Priest saw Lu Rongyu, he blurted out.
“Yes, Senior Brother, we came specifically to find you and to handle some business. Our sect has just developed a batch of new fruit wine, and we’ve come to ask for your critique.”
Han Tian, standing beside him: “…”
What exactly does this scoundrel do in reality?
