New Mission

After announcing everything in the main hall, Long Xiao looked at Qian Renxue. After being assimilated, she was now at the fifth level of the Tiangang Realm.

"Xue'er, I have a treasure to give you."

"Hm?" Qian Renxue was curious. What treasure?

Long Xiao took a green pill from his storage space and tossed it to Qian Renxue. "This is a Heavenly Dipper Pill. Taking it will allow you to break through by one level."

Qian Renxue caught the pill, her eyes flickering. There was actually such a miraculous pill?

The art of pill refining in this world could actually achieve something like this!

This was simply beyond her imagination!

Dugu Bo could no longer suppress the desire in his heart. Having received such favor from the Sect Master, he had to master all kinds of pill-refining methods.

"Thank you, Sect Master!"

"No need to thank me. From now on, you and Dong'er will live in the courtyard next to mine." Long Xiao smiled lightly.

"Sect Master, I want one too." Gu Rong was filled with envy when he saw Qian Renxue receive such a lucky opportunity.

Seeing the expectant look in his eyes, Long Xiao suddenly thought of something. With a solemn expression, he said, "Well, Gu Rong, Chen Xin, Qian Daoliu, starting today, the three of you will go to Azure City and work for me to earn money. Hauling bricks, farming, anything will do."

???

Question marks instantly filled the minds of Qian Daoliu and the other two. They thought they had misheard, but Long Xiao's next words struck them like lightning.

"The sect currently has no source of income. You need to contribute more. But remember, members of our Divine Sect must not commit crimes. A gentleman loves wealth, but acquires it by proper means."

Naturally, Long Xiao could not pass up the system's benefits. Keeping these people here meant they ate and drank for free every day. He might as well have them work to subsidize the sect's expenses, while also earning Summoning Points.

"But, Sect Master, we need to cultivate too." Gu Rong timidly asked.

"Don't worry. As long as you perform well, I'll reward each of you with a Heavenly Dipper Pill. As for cultivation, once you return, you'll see a different sect."

Long Xiao confidently painted them a rosy picture.

Hearing about the reward, Gu Rong and the other two finally nodded happily, and the way they looked at Long Xiao changed as well.

"Alright, Sect Master, we understand. We guarantee we'll make a fortune. I can carry ten baskets by myself!"

Gu Rong was brimming with confidence. Back when he was a lousy Title Douluo, breaking through a single level required quite a bit of time. Now, as long as he pleased the Sect Master, opportunities were everywhere.

Afterward, the three good brothers left with their arms around each other's shoulders.

"This is rather interesting." Qian Renxue watched them leave with a captivating smile. This Divine Sect really did seem quite interesting.

"Dugu Bo, go take a look at the Pill Pavilion first. There are already many books on beginner pill refining there. If you learn well, you may become an elder of the Pill Pavilion in the future."

Long Xiao turned his gaze toward Dugu Bo again.

Dugu Bo excitedly stood up and bowed respectfully. "Sect Master, rest assured. This subordinate will master it as soon as possible!"

Dugu Bo was also a minor expert in the art of poison. What he had witnessed this time had deeply moved him, so he absolutely would not let this opportunity slip away.

"Dong'er, take Xue'er to her room."

"Yes."

Bibi Dong left with Qian Renxue. The two walked side by side through the Divine Sect, and the atmosphere was exceptionally harmonious.

Once everyone had been arranged, the main hall became utterly quiet.

Long Xiao opened the system interface, the corners of his lips curling upward slightly, because the interface showed that his mission had been completed.

The sect had surpassed ten members, and three sect buildings had all been completed.

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for completing the mission. Reward: Beginner Automatic Cultivation Manual *1, Heavenly Origin Cultivation Trial Card (one day) *1, Beginner Cultivation Tower *1.]

[Ding! New mission issued. Mission requirements: 1. Accomplish something that spreads the Divine Sect's fame throughout a thousand-mile radius. 2. Cultivate to the Diegang Realm. 3. Have the sect accumulate 1,000 good deeds.]

[Mission rewards: Intermediate Automatic Cultivation Manual *1, Intermediate Cultivation Tower *1, Immortal Diga the Light Giant *1, Beginner Sect-Protecting Array *1, Summoning Credits *10,000, Lucky Draw chance *1.]

"Holy mother of—aren't the rewards for this second mission ridiculously generous?" Long Xiao stared wide-eyed. With rewards like these, he had to complete the mission no matter what!

Just thinking about an immortal Light Giant made his blood race.

And that Lucky Draw was probably good stuff too.

Suppressing his excitement, Long Xiao decided to first examine the reward from the first mission.

Beginner Automatic Cultivation Manual: After practicing this manual, the host's dantian will form an automatic cultivation vortex that cultivates for the host at all times.

"Hey, isn't this the ultimate tool for lazy people? Not bad. I like it."

"System, cultivate!"

[Ding! The Beginner Automatic Cultivation Manual has reached perfection!]

As the notification sounded, Long Xiao suddenly felt warmth in his dantian. The effect was really fast. It felt as if some primordial power was about to erupt, and he really wanted to do that...

Boom!

Long Xiao broke through to the third level of the Body Tempering Realm!

It took effect immediately!

After breaking through, Long Xiao wiped away a cold sweat. He felt as comfortable as if his bowels had been cleared.

He could feel that his body had indeed changed. It was exactly the same feeling as cultivating through meditation!

He hurriedly checked the remaining items.

There was no need to examine the Heavenly Origin Cultivation Trial Card. It was merely a temporary cheat.

But the Beginner Cultivation Tower was different.

Beginner Cultivation Tower: Placeable building. Required placement time: one day.

The Beginner Cultivation Tower came equipped with cultivation rooms, a cultivation pool, and cultivation tools.

A Spirit-Gathering Array was set within it, allowing the spiritual energy density to reach three times that of the outside world.

It was open for two hours every day.

Long Xiao understood. He only needed to find a place to set down the building. With this cultivation tower, would the sect not rival the effects of an advanced sect?

And this was only the beginner version. If it were upgraded to intermediate and advanced versions in the future, would it not become heaven-defying?

After collecting himself, Long Xiao headed for the hall entrance. He would have to wait until everyone returned before placing the Beginner Cultivation Tower. This was a perfect chance to show off—how could he let it pass?

But just as he reached the doorway, Xu Jiaojiao suddenly rushed over and slammed headfirst into his arms.

It hurt quite a bit. After all, Xu Jiaojiao had not fully developed yet, so she was not soft enough.

She suddenly shouted.

"Sect Master, a pervert is chasing me!"

A pervert?

Hearing that, Long Xiao looked up and saw Tang San with a lecherous expression!

At first glance, he had thought it was that Bu Le from the Spirit World!

"Little beauty, I'm so hot. Sleep with me, and I'll give you money!"

"I'll take you up the mountain to hunt rabbits tomorrow. How about it?"

Tang San looked like a complete pervert at that moment, constantly begging Xu Jiaojiao to satisfy his desires.

Long Xiao could not help but sigh. This personality modification was truly brutal. Wouldn't that mean all the women in the sect would suffer in the future?

"Jiaojiao, don't be afraid. He's a mental patient. I pitied him, so I took him in to guard the gate. Don't worry, he won't dare bully you again." Long Xiao stroked Xu Jiaojiao's head and spoke softly.

"Thank you, Sect Master." Xu Jiaojiao leaned against Long Xiao's chest, endlessly bashful.

"Tang San, do not be rude to the women of the sect. Remember not to commit crimes. You can go to a brothel in a nearby town to solve your problem yourself."

"Yes, Sect Master... but I don't have any money..." Tang San could not help feeling aggrieved upon hearing Long Xiao's words, but he could only obey.

Seeing Tang San's dejected appearance, Long Xiao found him somewhat pitiful.

"Well, didn't City Lord Xu send over a sow today? Why not go take a look in the backyard? Make do with it?"

A sow?!

Tang San's eyes lit up at once. He hurriedly thanked him. "Thank you, Sect Master! I understand!"

In a flash, he ran toward the backyard.

But then Xu Jiaojiao remembered something and raised her head. "Sect Master, that pig is tonight's dinner..."

"What... blegh..."

Thinking of certain things, Long Xiao threw up.
