Starting as Peak Master, Signing for the Ultimate Emperor Armament!

Hua Yunfei felt a little embarrassed.

He quickly memorized the Taiyi Swordplay, preparing to cultivate it when he had free time to increase his strength.

[Are you still doing the disciple recruitment mission or not? The rewards are absolutely generous, no worse than what you get from a ten-year full sign-in!]

"No worse than what I get from a ten-year full sign-in?"

Hua Yunfei's expression changed, and he became pleasantly surprised.

His sign-in system allowed him to sign in once a month, and the rewards for a full year's sign-in were definitely good things.

And for full ten-year or twenty-year sign-ins, they were even better!

The lowest tier was something good of Saint tier or above!

For example, the Grand Universe Shift divine ability, the One-Word Incantation Dao method, Enlightenment Tea Leaves, the Ginseng Fruit Tree, and the Emperor Armament Chaos Bell were all obtained from ten-year full sign-ins!

If the reward for each disciple recruitment was equivalent to a ten-year full sign-in, then... it would be terrifyingly powerful!

"I'll go to the inner sect and recruit a hundred disciples first. Remember to give me the rewards."

Hua Yunfei stood up. Anyway, the successor for Daoyuan Peak had been found.

He could afford to be a bit more lenient with the disciples' aptitude requirements.

If you ask how lenient?

Well... anything that runs on the ground, swims in the water, or flies in the sky, as long as it's alive and breathing, it's fine!

Even if it were a pig, Hua Yunfei was confident he could teach it to become a Pig Saint.

[Wait! Do you think the rewards are that easy to get?]

"Do you have requirements?" Hua Yunfei frowned.

As a descendant of the Stealthy Dao, he still didn't want to be in the spotlight. Having aptitude requirements meant he had to go out and search, which was troublesome.

What if he accidentally killed an elder from a Saint-level force who didn't know their place, and it would just bring him more trouble.

[There is no gain without sacrifice! The cycle of cause and effect in the world, you've cultivated to such a realm, don't you understand this principle?]

Hua Yunfei felt like the system was about to get angry and scold him, so he compromised, "Tell me."

[The disciple recruitment mission is just a way for the host to obtain more good things. Relying solely on sign-ins is too slow.]

"Alright, stop brainwashing me, I'm very smart."

[Ding, Mission System Confirmed Activated, Disciple Recruitment Mission Now Issued]

[Disciple Recruitment Number Requirement: One]

[Requirement: Minimum Saint tier low-grade cultivation aptitude]

[Other Talent Requirements: None]

[Mission Deadline: Five months]

[Completion Reward: One Disciple Gift Pack]

[Failure Penalty: Randomly disappear one spiritual treasure held by the host]

"...?"

"In the current Big Dipper Star, Saint tier aptitude is extremely rare. Even Saint-level forces are eager for such talent."

"And you're setting the minimum requirement? Are you playing with me?"

Recruiting a disciple with a minimum of Saint tier low-grade aptitude, do you think they're as common as cabbage?

[Not discovered, of course, it's rare. Many top geniuses might remain mortals their entire lives, completely unaware of how monstrous their cultivation aptitude is.]

"That's true..."

[Ten-year sign-in level rewards...]

The system muttered casually.

Hearing this made Hua Yunfei's heart itch.

"At least I have five months, which should be more than enough!"

Hua Yunfei comforted himself. For the top-tier rewards, he could only comfort himself like this!

Early morning.

Ye Bufan finally woke up.

His entire aura was contained, showing no special features.

But discerning eyes could tell that there seemed to be a volcano hidden within him.

If he moved, the heavens and earth would collapse!

His realm had reached the second level of the Core Formation Realm!

It only took him one day and one night!

Hua Yunfei emerged from his cultivation cave, a slight smile on his face. He gestured towards the Ginseng Fruit Tree, "Hungry? That fruit tree over there, when you're craving something, just pick a fruit. It's good for your health and will help you live longer."

"Master."

Ye Bufan's face lit up with joy, and he hurried forward, "I've reached the second level of the Core Formation Realm!"

"Not bad, not bad. Much stronger than I was at your age," Hua Yunfei said, his gaze easily discerning Ye Bufan's cultivation. He was quite pleased.

In his estimation, Ye Bufan, at the second level of the Core Formation Realm, could contend with geniuses around the fourth level of the Core Formation Realm!

Of course, this was only referring to ordinary geniuses.

Top-tier geniuses and even prodigies found it difficult to challenge those at higher levels.

They were all core disciples of their respective sects, cultivating top-tier techniques, and their combat power was naturally top-tier.

Easily surpassing their cultivation level would go against the natural laws of the Dao.

"I have a copy of the Taiyi Swordplay here. It's quite ordinary, just take it and practice it casually," Hua Yunfei said, producing the Taiyi Swordplay and handing it to Ye Bufan.

"Taiyi Swordplay!"

Ye Bufan clutched the Taiyi Swordplay tightly, his expression one of adoration.

He knew that whatever his master called "ordinary" was never truly ordinary!

Even the Heavenly Emperor Scripture was called ordinary by him.

Upon opening it, just as Ye Bufan expected, the Taiyi Swordplay was created by the Taiyi Ancient Emperor – an Emperor-grade sword technique!

It would be difficult to find an Emperor-grade sword technique anywhere on the Big Dipper Star!

His master had casually produced it, referring to it as "good and ordinary."

At this moment, Mu Qiuxue walked out. Seeing Ye Bufan awake, she approached with curiosity, a gentle smile on her face. "Hello, my name is Mu Qiuxue."

Her smile was sweet, and she had the kind of face that evoked first love. Her ponytail made her easily likable.

Seeing a beautiful woman suddenly strike up a conversation with him, Ye Bufan's flustered face flushed slightly. "H-hello, my name is Ye Bufan. I'm a disciple of Daoyuan Peak."

As he spoke, he tucked the Taiyi Swordplay inside his robes.

He wouldn't expose anything his master gave him to outsiders without permission.

An Emperor-grade sword technique could stir up a storm anywhere!

He couldn't bring trouble to his master.

"Bufan," Hua Yunfei said with a smile, "Qiuxue is the youngest true disciple of Lower Mystery Peak. Her talent is outstanding. Yesterday, the Peak Master of Lower Mystery personally sent her to Daoyuan Peak for advanced studies. You two should get along well."

Ye Bufan nodded quickly, "This disciple remembers."

"Good," Hua Yunfei nodded, then looked at Mu Qiuxue. After a slight pause, he asked, "Qiuxue, are you like standing in broad daylight even when you are in darkness?"

"How does the Peak Master of Daoyuan know? Only Master knows about this!" Mu Qiuxue, who had been about to continue talking with Ye Bufan, was startled by his words and looked at Hua Yunfei.

"I cultivate eye techniques. I mentioned it to your master earlier," Hua Yunfei replied.

"I see." Mu Qiuxue suddenly tightened her clothes and asked, "Peak Master of Daoyuan, why do you suddenly mention this? Is there a problem?"

"Would you like to know why you are different from others?"
