Golden Strategy Immortal Sect's Idiot

Chapter 21: The Golden Strategy Immortal Sect's Idiot, Luo Ke, Was Deeply Impressed by Ning Ri.

There was no other reason.

Ning Ri was indifferent to everything on the flying boat.

The Golden Strategy Tally required the use of [Golden Strategy Flying Boats] and [Golden Strategy Treasure Ships] issued by the Golden Strategy Immortal Sect to ferry guests. One to three guests would use a flying boat, and more than that would use a treasure ship or a multi-decked warship.

Whether it was a flying boat, treasure ship, or a tower ship, they were all extremely luxurious, fully displaying the Golden Strategy Immortal Sect's wealth.

At the same time, there were various jade slips, allowing passengers to understand how powerful the Golden Strategy Immortal Sect was, how comfortable and pleasant the cultivation experience would be if they joined, and what cultivation resources they could obtain...

When powerful cultivators traveled, they wouldn't think of taking a taxi. It was basically only ordinary cultivators who needed to use the Golden Strategy Tally.

The Golden Strategy Tally did this precisely to recruit ordinary cultivators into the Golden Strategy Immortal Sect—recruiting students and employees, they wanted everyone.

The more people joined the Golden Strategy Immortal Sect, the better.

Moreover, the Golden Strategy Immortal Sect didn't need to lower itself. After all, you came after seeing the "treatment" on our flying boat; we didn't beg you to come.

But Ning Ri was different.

For others, the first time they boarded a flying boat, looking around was considered polite. Touching and looking everywhere was the norm.

But Ning Ri didn't.

Ning Ri didn't do anything but ask on the flying boat, "Can I practice my saber?"

Luo Ke said yes.

So Ning Ri started practicing his saber diligently!

He didn't stop the entire time!

At that moment, while Luo Ke was utterly astonished, he also felt a bit of admiration for Ning Ri in his heart.

Although Ning Ri was only practicing an ordinary saber technique, he liked this steady, diligent spirit of practicing. Moreover, Ning Ri's saber technique was practiced smoothly and beautifully, a pleasure to behold.

If it weren't for the [Charioteer Regulations] of the Golden Strategy Tally stating that guests were not to be disturbed, he would have wanted to interrupt Ning Ri and test his spiritual roots...

But he believed that since Ning Ri had reached the Third Stage of Qi Refining, he must have spiritual roots. Coupled with Ning Ri's disposition, joining the Outer Sect of the Golden Strategy Immortal Sect would surely be no problem.

Precisely because of this, later, after Luo Ke consulted Ning Ri's opinion, he first sent Ning Ri to the Golden Strategy Immortal Sect. The Golden Strategy Immortal Sect was currently lacking such down-to-earth disciples.

At this moment, seeing Ning Ri here, especially with the Heaven Defying Sect not far away, Luo Ke's face showed surprise: "What a coincidence that we meet here!"

And the moment Luo Ke spoke, Ning Ri was also stunned: "Senior Luo!"

Luo Ke recognized him, and he recognized Luo Ke too—

Wasn't this the cultivator who sent him to apprentice last time?!

Then, his heart sank—

It's over. He's not going to let me get a free ride just because he knows me, is he?

What's going on?

Does the Golden Strategy Immortal Sect only have one driver per district?

Next, Luo Ke's face broke into a smile, and he was about to exchange pleasantries with Ning Ri, but then, he suddenly thought of something, his expression clearly showing surprise, disbelief flashing in his eyes. He then looked down at the jade slip in his hand and looked up again in disbelief: "Wait!"

"You... How could this be your first time using the Golden Strategy Tally?"

Because he was a new guest, the "recruitment brochure" on the Golden Strategy Flying Boat had already started its operation.

It was waiting for the new guest to board the flying boat and give them a shock from the Golden Strategy Immortal Sect!

But Luo Ke only just realized that Ning Ri couldn't be a newcomer.

Hearing this, Ning Ri couldn't help but show an awkward smile: "Ah, Senior Luo..."

He felt even more awkward inside.

Luo Ke glanced at the Heaven Defying Sect in the distance, as if thinking of something, his face suddenly darkened: "You've joined the Heaven Defying Sect, haven't you?"

Upon hearing this, Ning Ri immediately nodded: "Yes!"

After receiving a positive reply, a look of realization dawned on Luo Ke's face, and then his expression sank: "No wonder. It must be someone from the Heaven Defying Sect who corrupted you."

"They always use that damned soul-splitting technique of theirs, making their Foundation Establishment disciples use the [Golden Strategy Tally]."

"It's truly detestable!"

Ning Ri: "..."

So the entire sect does this?

Wait...

Could it be that you're all just ganging up on Luo Ke?!

Then, Luo Ke said to Ning Ri: "Don't worry, once an order with the Golden Strategy Tally is placed, it cannot be canceled."

"Your order is still valid!"

"I will take you to your destination."

Hearing this, Ning Ri couldn't help but ask: "Then will you get paid?"

Hearing that Ning Ri was actually worried about him, Luo Ke felt even more contempt for the Heaven Defying Sect in his heart--

What a bunch of evil cultivators, who knows how many good disciples they've ruined!

Luo Ke looked at Ning Ri with increasing satisfaction and said, "Don't worry about the reward. My sect is wealthy and powerful. Since your order has been recognized by the Golden Strategy Tally, you will receive your reward."

"I'm just unhappy with the way your elders do things."

Ning Ri let out an "Oh": "That's good then!"

Next, Luo Ke released the flying boat, and after asking Ning Ri's destination was Luoxia City, he took Ning Ri and soared into the sky...

The interior of the flying boat was still incredibly luxurious, but Ning Ri had no intention of paying attention to it. He planned to continue practicing his sword, just like before.

He was now like someone trying to cash out 100 yuan on Pinduoduo and only needing one more gold coin, his mind solely focused on getting one more slash in!

However, while piloting the flying boat, Luo Ke asked in confusion, "By the way, Young Friend Ning, why didn't you choose to join my sect, but instead chose the Heaven Defying Sect?"

In his opinion, since Ning Ri could join the Heaven Defying Sect, why not join the Golden Strategy Immortal Sect?

Ning Ri couldn't help but chuckle dryly: "Senior Luo, this junior's aptitude is actually extremely poor."

"It was just some fortunate encounter that I was taught a cultivation technique, and I managed to reach the third stage of Qi Refining by chance. But I had no further progress, so the disciple recruitment office of the Golden Strategy Immortal Sect rejected me."

After learning about the existence of Mortal Anomalies, he no longer dared to claim that he had stumbled upon a Qi Refining cultivation technique.

But after hearing Ning Ri's words, Luo Ke felt something was amiss. He frowned and asked, "So, the reason my sect rejected you was because your aptitude wasn't good enough?"

Ning Ri nodded.

Hearing this, Luo Ke felt even more that something was wrong. Then, he suddenly remembered something and said, "Wait, since your aptitude is so poor, then... what is your current cultivation level?"

Ning Ri honestly replied: "Third Stage Qi Refining! After all this time, I still haven't made any progress. My aptitude is indeed extremely poor."

This time, Luo Ke was stunned again. Immediately after, his expression gradually changed, a look of disbelief spreading across his face as he stared at Ning Ri...

Seeing this, Ning Ri became a little flustered: "Senior, what's wrong?"

Luo Ke exclaimed: "Nothing's wrong. I just realized you really are only at the Third Stage of Qi Refining."

Ning Ri was confused. I really am at the Third Stage of Qi Refining, so... so what?

Luo Ke muttered: "It's just that I'm very curious, how can someone at the Third Stage of Qi Refining learn the Heaven Defying Soul Splitting Technique?"

"Gou Lan told me that this is a technique that can only be cultivated by those in the Foundation Establishment stage!"

Ning Ri: "..."

Oh...

So that's why he was stunned?

Immediately after.

Luo Ke's furious voice echoed through the heavens:

"What are those idiots in the disciple recruitment office doing?!"
