The next day at noon, Long Xiao returned to the sect with Bibi Dong and Xu Jiaojiao.
Under Xu Jiaojiao's guidance, he had enjoyed himself, and Dong'er had too.
They had also gained a huge number of fans in Azure City. Many citizens had voluntarily joined the Divine Sect's construction team.
The moment Long Xiao returned to the sect, everyone welcomed him. Qian Daoliu and the other two came forward as well.
The three of them had already changed into rough hemp clothes. They were covered in dust and drenched in sweat, looking exactly like construction workers.
"Yo, not bad. Looks like you guys have been working pretty hard these past two days."
Gu Rong chuckled. "Sect Master, seeing how hard I've worked, could you let me do something other than security? Kitchen work would be fine too."
Qian Daoliu said disdainfully, "Forget it. Give up already. Security is your destiny. Jiaojiao is already in charge of the kitchen."
"Old bastard." Gu Rong really wanted to beat Qian Daoliu up—if only he could.
"Someone should be replacing you soon. Once the sect is finished, I'll bring some more people over from Spirit Continent. I just haven't decided who yet."
At those words, Qian Daoliu, the other two, and Bibi Dong all became interested, each quietly making their own calculations.
"Alright, then let's get back to work and finish building the sect sooner!"
With Long Xiao's words, Gu Rong was filled with vigor again. He was already huge, so doing the work of several people was no problem for him.
After chatting with everyone for a while, Long Xiao left. He had Bibi Dong return to her room to rest first while he went to check on Xiao Xixi.
As for Mo Duo, Long Xiao told Xu Zhong to bring him along when he came over as city lord.
When he returned to his room, nothing had changed.
Bo Saixi was still lying quietly on the bed, asleep. The energy in her body had become calmer than it had been two days ago, but she probably still needed more time.
Six days later.
The Divine Sect was finally complete!
The entire Divine Sect was lavish and magnificent, already comparable in scale to a small or medium-sized sect. It could accommodate several hundred people.
Several enormous buildings had also been added. Construction in a fantasy world really was efficient!
Even the latrines had become several times larger and were covered with attractive tiles.
The upper courtyard villa area was for the sect master and female disciples, while the lower common area was for male disciples.
Long Xiao led everyone on a tour of the sect.
Qian Daoliu and the others were very pleased with the fruits of their labor.
After the tour, everyone returned to the sect's main hall, which was equally grand and imposing.
A plaque engraved with the words "Divine Sect" had also been hung before the mountain gate.
Long Xiao sat on the throne, feeling incredibly cool.
So this was what it felt like to be the master of a sect?
"System, do you have any treasures that can control people?"
Long Xiao glanced at Mo Duo, who had been tied up tightly and thrown onto the floor, then asked the system.
[Yes. You may purchase a Soul-Locking Talisman for ten Summoning Points. However, the target must be willing before the talisman can be used to control their soul. Only the host may remove it.]
Ten points? That's so cheap.
But it required the other party to be willing. That made it rather useless, which was probably why it was so cheap.
He bought a Soul-Locking Talisman and walked over to Mo Duo.
"What do you want?" Mo Duo looked up at him, his face filled with terror. Having arrived here, he had finally realized that this man was no ordinary person. He actually had so many Tiangang Realm experts under his command.
Unless the sect master personally came, no one could save him.
"I want you to willingly clean our sect's toilets." Long Xiao grinned wickedly.
"Impossible! Absolutely impossible! The dignity of a Tiangang Realm expert cannot be insulted!" Mo Duo declared righteously.
"Oh? Gu Rong, then let him experience the charm of our sect. Remember, you must make him accept it willingly." Long Xiao heavily emphasized the words "willingly accept."
"Sure thing. Using the sect master's personal charm to reform people is what I enjoy most."
Gu Rong cracked his knuckles, eager to give it a try.
Cold sweat broke out on Xu Zhong and Xu Jiaojiao's foreheads. They were all too familiar with this scene.
Immediately afterward, the sounds of bones cracking and miserable howls echoed through the main hall.
"Ah... It hurts so much!"
"Break... it's going to break! Spare me!"
"I'll clean the toilets!"
"Didn't you say Tiangang Realm experts couldn't be insulted? Where's your dignity?"
"It can be insulted! It can be insulted! It really can!"
After a round of education from Gu Rong, Mo Duo finally allowed Long Xiao to plant the Soul-Locking Talisman on him willingly. With a single thought, Long Xiao could torture his soul or even destroy it.
"Alright, Mo Duo. From now on, you are the Divine Sect's latrine manager. That's quite an important post. You only need to make sure the latrines stay spotless every day," Long Xiao ordered.
Mo Duo nodded. "Understood, Sect Master."
He had accepted his fate. His soul was already under someone else's control.
"Jiaojiao, you'll be in charge of the kitchen. We don't have many people yet, so just make something simple every day. As long as there's enough to eat, that's fine."
Xu Jiaojiao rose and clasped her fists. "Yes!"
"Alright, City Lord Xu, Mo Duo, Jiaojiao, all of you may leave. I have something to discuss with the elders."
"Alright."
Xu Zhong and the others wisely withdrew from the main hall, though they were somewhat disappointed.
Qian Daoliu and the others, however, were energized. They knew what the sect master was about to do—bring in more newcomers. They wondered who it would be this time.
Long Xiao checked the system mission. He had already completed the three sect buildings, leaving only the requirement of having ten sect members.
The three buildings were the Treasure Vault, Pill Pavilion, and Scripture Pavilion.
Including Jiaojiao and Mo Duo, the sect now had eight people in total. In other words, he only needed two more to complete the mission.
He still had five Douluo Summoning Cards in hand.
The Treasure Vault was managed by Bibi Dong, while the Scripture Pavilion currently only contained some shabby martial arts manuals looted from Black Mountain Stronghold.
Only the Pill Pavilion was missing...
"Then it's decided. You!"
"System, summon Poison Douluo!"
[ Ding! Summoning successful! ]
Spatial fluctuations appeared in the center of the main hall, and a green-robed old man emerged.
This man looked exceptionally difficult to deal with, his entire body radiating poisonous aura. He looked around at the unfamiliar surroundings, his eyes shifting as though he were pondering something.
But the moment he saw Bibi Dong, Chen Xin, and the others, he was instantly startled. Where the hell was this place?
"It really is that old poison." Bibi Dong casually glanced at him.
"Poison Douluo, a pleasure to meet you."
Gu Rong and Chen Xin nodded politely to Dugu Bo.
"Where is this? Why are all you Title Douluo gathered here?" Poison Douluo asked cautiously.
Which one of these people could not crush him with ease?
But as soon as he finished speaking, Qian Daoliu and Gu Rong began cursing at him.
"Title Douluo? Title your mother!"
"Don't insult us by calling us Title Douluo. What kind of trash title is that?"
"Please address us as Tiangang Realm experts!"
"Huh?" Dugu Bo was utterly bewildered.
What Tiangang Realm experts? Weren't Title Douluo the strongest on Spirit Continent?
Long Xiao looked at Gu Rong and Qian Daoliu. They actually seemed quite proud of it.
