Chapter 99: Isn’t This Just Nonsense?
Shui Ping hesitated for three seconds.
He didn’t know how to comfort Pan Qingyi.
Mainly because in reality, he was also the type of person who wasn’t good with words.
Mainly because his business capabilities were too outstanding.
So he said, “It’s okay, you’re still young. Foundation Establishment Stage is bound to happen. Not only Foundation Establishment Stage, but you have to believe in yourself. As long as there’s an opportunity, Golden Core Stage and Nascent Soul Stage might not be out of reach.”
“Really?”
Pan Qingyi had never heard any kind words in his life. Shui Ping’s comfort was very welcome.
He was happy in his heart: “Do you really think so?”
Shui Ping nodded sincerely.
After all, he was still a child, and his tolerance was quite high.
Pan Qingyi became happy and said, “Junior Disciple Brother, don’t worry. If you’re too busy, I’ll help you tend to the Spiritual Field. They’re just bullying you because you’re new and making you do more work.”
Because there wasn’t much profit from the Spiritual Field, the outer sect miscellaneous disciples of Guanhai Sect treated it as a rather troublesome daily Task.
Not only did they have to take care of it without mistakes, but they also had to complete the Sect’s requirements. This was simply too annoying.
Shui Ping smiled and said, “It’s fine.”
After talking with Pan Qingyi, he returned to his room.
At least it was safe inside the room.
Shui Ping adjusted his sleeping position and chose to briefly log off.
He didn’t really want to use the opportunity to return to the Sect.
As soon as he logged off, Shui Ping found that someone had added him as a friend on WeChat.
Upon opening it, he saw it was Chen Miaomiao from the group.
She was one of the first batch of New Players. In reality, she was also an excellent university student who was now in charge of Sect Spirit Herb research. She was indeed a rare professional talent.
Shui Ping accepted her friend request.
Chen Miaomiao didn’t waste time and sent him a 《Longevity Sect Spirit Herb Introduction: A Simple Guide to Better Cultivating Spirit Herbs and Increasing Yield》.
【Chen Miaomiao】: I’ve asked others. Major Sects like Guanhai Sect value disciple aptitude and comprehension greatly. You must grow Spirit Herbs better than others. Understand this first; it will be very helpful for increasing Spirit Herb yield and also beneficial for your Cultivation.
It wasn’t a secret among Players that Shui Ping had accepted a Hidden Task to go to Guanhai Sect.
Because he himself had said it.
Of course, people wouldn’t discuss it in the Game, for fear of being found out.
They would only discuss it in reality.
Major Sects currently didn’t research this much. Increasing Spirit Herb yield, in their established understanding, was achieved through some spirit fertilizers or Spirit Liquid.
However, there was no need to use these good things for low-tier Spirit Herbs.
What Chen Miaomiao gave him was indeed good stuff.
Shui Ping opened it and fell silent for a few minutes after reading the content.
Then he sent a message to Chen Miaomiao.
【Shui Ping】: Thank you, Big Shot, but I don’t quite understand some parts.
【Chen Miaomiao】: You just don’t understand at first. Once you get the hang of it and become proficient, you’ll pick it up quickly. I’ve already found a way to increase the probability of Tier 2 Spirit Herbs and will be able to conduct large-scale experiments soon. However, this isn’t very useful for you. You should join an expedition team to Hunt Demonic Beasts as soon as possible. Your Talent should be displayed in combat.
Shui Ping had great combat talent, as Zhen Weida had said.
As the only one with Orange Talent in the Game so far, he definitely couldn’t waste time growing Spirit Herbs.
Chen Miaomiao teaching him was just to get him noticed by Guanhai Sect quickly.
【Shui Ping】: Okay, thank you.
【Chen Miaomiao】: You’re welcome, it’s all for the Sect.
After reading the messages, Shui Ping briefly wrote down his game progress for the day and reported it to the organization.
This was a requirement from above.
Shui Ping provided a lot of information.
“Liuxian City is already this large, and it’s just a subordinate Sect. I can’t imagine the scale of Myriad Immortal Sect.”
“Based on this estimation, Myriad Immortal Sect is equivalent to a large country in our reality.”
“It’s just that they have a feudal system in various regions… The difference is that they have the ability to manage it.”
“Damn, I’m so envious that Tan Jie can play this Game, I want to play too!!”
“If they release Quotas next time, the boss said they’ll give us a holiday, so those who can participate can go back and snatch them. We probably won’t be able to snatch them from the base.”
…
Besides the annoying Heavy Snow, the news of Spirit Fox Sect’s incident quickly reached Wang’an County.
News of a Golden Core Stage Demonic Cultivator spread like wildfire.
Instantly, the local Cultivators in Wang’an County were filled with gloom.
It was clear that everyone was very afraid of a Golden Core Stage Demonic Cultivator, and the fact that the news had reached here meant that Spirit Fox Sect was truly finished.
Sects could truly be destroyed.
Such news also instilled a sense of urgency in the Players.
They realized that the statement made when the Game opened, “if the Sect is destroyed, the Game will go bankrupt,” was not a joke.
The current Sect Master is still so weak!
Just look at the Sect!
The Players frantically got to work, first finding Life Players to build basic collective dormitories and relocate the Mortals of Wang’an County.
The remaining time would be used to formally reform Wang’an County.
Such a large undertaking would certainly not escape the notice of Flying Sparrow Sect.
After all, the disciples of Flying Sparrow Sect occasionally came down the mountain.
However, they completely didn’t understand why the disciples of Longevity Sect were doing this. When asked, the disciples of Longevity Sect replied that this Heavy Snow was too dangerous, and the Mortals couldn’t even get out of their houses, and some work couldn’t start, affecting their ability to Make Money.
Modifying the houses and foundations could raise the temperature, allowing Mortals to live more comfortably. Then, whether it was Heavy Snow or extreme heat, Mortals could come out and move freely.
This greatly shocked the Cultivators of Flying Sparrow Sect.
It was understandable to make Cultivators more comfortable, but to make Mortals more comfortable?
Throughout history, on Yunzhou Continent, Mortals were not considered significant.
In the eyes of Cultivators, they were merely potential carriers of children with Spiritual Roots.
Cultivators also intermarried, and as long as the parents were Cultivators, the children would basically be Cultivators.
It was just a matter of different Spiritual Roots.
Under such probabilities, the living space of Mortals would be squeezed, but their population remained vast.
Their lifespans were too short.
They were too short for anyone to be willing to do anything for them, and they also relied on the protection of Cultivators to resist Demonic Beast attacks.
Longevity Sect’s matter-of-fact approach naturally made Flying Sparrow Sect find it incredible.
Especially since Yunzhou Continent had always advocated that Cultivators who wished to pursue higher goals should not have too much contact with Mortals.
Even though Flying Sparrow Sect lived in this area, their disciples rarely went down the mountain.
Shui Ping’s Master, Du Lixin, also received this news. She was only slightly disapproving.
“Isn’t this just fooling around?”
Shui Ping was standing next to Du Lixin and dared not speak when she heard this.
She dared not say that she actually quite liked the disciples of Longevity Sect.
Every time they came down the mountain, they always seemed cheerful, inexplicably happy.
Du Lixin hadn’t been down the mountain for a long time, but upon hearing the news, she didn’t do anything.
“The current Sect Master of Longevity Sect is also unreliable, letting his disciples run wild.”
Du Lixin commented, then looked at Shui Ping.
“Are you planning to go to the Cave Demon Valley border?”
