Chapter 17: Senior Disciple Brother, We’ll Use Cheats to Help You!
【 Zhou Nüzi: Isn’t that right? It’s even trending now, saying we’ve become obsessed with playing the game to the point of cultivation deviation, and they even dare to say it’s a holographic game. 】
【 Wu Dahu: It’s normal. If I hadn’t played it, I wouldn’t have believed it either. Sigh, I still wanted to play. I just received my two acres of land, but unfortunately, I have to sleep and go to work now. 】
But there’s a strange thing.
After all, he’s an office worker, but playing games for a long time can make one feel physically fatigued.
Moreover, he stands the entire time when playing VR games, which would at least cause backaches and sore waist.
However, after logging off, he didn’t feel anything wrong. His mind felt very clear and energetic.
It must be that his brain was too excited from playing. Wu Dahu, afraid of trouble, replied to Zhou Xiao: 【 I’m going to wash up and sleep, otherwise I’ll be late tomorrow morning. 】
Zhou Xiao: 【 Go ahead, I’m going to log into the game. This old lady is staying up all night, HHHHHH 】
She was still a student, and it was her vacation time, so she didn’t have to work.
Wu Dahu was so angry his eyes welled up with tears: 【 You beast, you’ll get what’s coming to you sooner or later! 】
Zhou Xiao looked at her online time limit and happily logged into the game.
She and Han Tian started around the same time, and when she logged in, Han Tian was also about to log in.
And according to the time flow rate on both sides, by the time she logged in, it was already close to dawn on the Yunzhou Continent.
The morning mist rushed towards her, and a refreshing breeze made Zhou Xiao’s mind jolt.
She suddenly felt as if her mind had never been so clear before.
Zhou Xiao also went to find the Sect Master to receive her cultivation method.
Song Jiulai couldn’t pretend anymore after pretending to be cool for the latter half of the night. She was too lazy to put on an act and just sat in her main house in front of the courtyard, meditating and reading books.
Some cultivation books could be read directly by the mind, while others were ordinary folk books. Song Jiulai was reading the latter.
The closer the place on the Yunzhou Continent was to major cities, the fewer mortals there were.
Wang’an County, where Song Jiulai was located, was on the edge of the Myriad Immortal Sect and coexisted with mortals. She noticed that many folk books also contained hidden strange tales and records.
It was said that someone had once found clues to the tomb of a powerful cultivator in a mortal’s biography.
Players could log off and play other things to cultivate their character, but she couldn’t go anywhere on the Yunzhou Continent. Reading folk stories was her way of passing the time.
Zhou Xiao came to receive her cultivation method and stealthily sized up Song Jiulai.
The Sect Master didn’t look at her. After handing her the cultivation method, he smiled and let her leave.
Her mother seemed to have a really good temper, a gentle little fairy.
She was determined to make the sect bigger and stronger with Han Tian and the others!
Feeling the changes in herself, she went to find A Wu. At this time, Han Tian also logged in.
His talent was originally around the same time as Zhou Xiao’s.
When Zhou Xiao came to test her talent this time, many players were watching.
Because as soon as Zhou Xiao touched it, the Spirit Testing Stone finally showed other colors.
Purple!
A Wu was a little surprised: “Fourth Junior Sister, you’re amazing. You actually have a Purple Spiritual Root.”
Purple Spiritual Roots are superior and relatively rare.
Zhou Xiao then learned that their world divided spiritual root talent by color: white, blue, purple, orange, gold. She was already very satisfied with the third talent in the middle.
The other players also showed expressions of envy, jealousy, and hatred.
“Holy crap, she got purple right from the start.”
“We didn’t even get blue just now. The gap is too big!”
“Sigh, as expected, some people are lucky dogs from the start.”
A Wu looked on, and instead sighed: “What a pity, Fourth Junior Sister.”
Zhou Xiao was stunned: “What’s a pity?”
A Wu said directly: “Our sect is too poor, and the place is too remote. Even with your good talent, we can’t afford to nurture you.”
Those with good talent are usually scouted by major sects when they are young. Those with poor talent naturally spend their lives struggling in the corners.
The spiritual energy here is poor, spirit stones are scarce, and there are no resources. Advancement is very slow.
For the Flying Sparrow Sect to have a Golden Core cultivator is already extremely remarkable; their famous disciples are all at the Foundation Establishment Stage.
For core sects like the Myriad Immortal Sect, disciples of this age are basically starting at the Golden Core Stage…
However, it’s not that good talent is always taken away. If someone has good talent but low comprehension, it’s very difficult to break through to a very high realm in this lifetime.
Zhou Xiao waved her hand: “It’s okay, Senior Brother. I don’t dislike our sect.”
A Wu then said something unexpected: “If there’s an opportunity, Fourth Junior Sister, you could try to join another sect when people from the major sects in Liuxian City come.”
Zhou Xiao’s eyes widened: “Why? Senior Brother, isn’t this defecting from the sect?”
A Wu said matter-of-factly: “Why is it called defecting? If you have better talent, you naturally have to seek a better place.”
It was then that Zhou Xiao realized that the mindset on the Yunzhou Continent was not their mindset.
What do you mean, once you join a sect, you belong to that sect?
That doesn’t exist.
Unless it’s a major sect and you’re taken as a core closed-door disciple by an Elder-level figure, inheriting their legacy, then such requirements exist.
Small sects are poor and can’t afford to nurture talented disciples, so why delay them?
Some small sects even actively recommend talented disciples to major sects in exchange for some resources or even for the disciples to bring benefits back to the sect after they achieve success.
This is a matter of favor. Although it’s a dog-eat-dog world, it also emphasizes karma.
Zhou Xiao exchanged glances with the other players.
It was clearly impossible for them to leave the Longevity Sect.
This game is based on the existence of the Longevity Sect. You dare to leave?
If you could leave, why do you think the main quest is to make the Longevity Sect bigger and stronger?
Zhou Xiao never thought of leaving. She even looked at A Wu seriously and said, “Senior Disciple Brother, this kind of thinking is wrong. We are born to be people of the Longevity Sect, and we will die as ghosts of the Longevity Sect! We were discovered in the Longevity Sect. If we leave the Longevity Sect for a better place, what kind of person would I, Zhou Nüzi, be?”
Other players: “Then you wouldn’t be a person, you’d be a beast!”
Zhou Xiao: “…”
A Wu looked confused: “Ah? This way of thinking is wrong?”
After all, he was only 12 years old and found it difficult to understand profound principles.
He only knew that everyone in the cultivation world was like this.
A Wu said: “But I won’t leave the Longevity Sect. I just want to stay here for my whole life.”
He was just a small cultivator with no talent and no ambitions. Staying in the Longevity Sect for his entire life was good enough for him.
Compared to the mortals at the foot of the mountain, A Wu, who didn’t know who his parents were, felt he was already happier than many people.
Zhou Nüzi patted her chest: “Senior Disciple Brother, don’t worry. We will definitely develop the Longevity Sect into a major sect. In the future, you will be our Senior Disciple Brother, and you will always be our sect’s Senior Disciple Brother!”
The other players quickly chimed in: “Yes, yes, yes, Senior Disciple Brother, don’t worry, we’ll use cheats to help you, and we’ll definitely help you ascend together.”
A Wu was so touched that tears welled up: “Junior Sister, Junior Brothers, I, sob sob sob, you are all too kind! But what are cheats?!”
Han Tian suddenly appeared, interrupting the conversation in time.
“Senior Disciple Brother, can we go down the mountain for a bit?”
Sorry, I was delayed by something today.
