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 looked curious. What treasure?

Long Xiao took out a green pill from his storage space and tossed it to Qian Renxue. "This is a Heavenly Dipper Pill. Taking it will raise your cultivation by one level."

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

The art of pill refinement in this world could actually achieve such a thing!

It completely exceeded her imagination!

Dugu Bo could no longer suppress the desire in his heart. Since the Sect Master had shown him such favor, he had to learn every kind of pill-refining method.

"Thank you, Sect Master!"

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

"Sect Master, I want one too." Seeing Qian Renxue receive such an opportunity, Gu Rong was filled with envy.

Seeing the expectant look in his eyes, Long Xiao suddenly thought of something. He said solemnly, "Well, Gu Rong, Chen Xin, Qian Daoliu—the three of you will go to Azure City starting today and work to earn money for me. 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 the Divine Sect must not commit evil deeds. A gentleman loves wealth, but acquires it by proper means."

Naturally, Long Xiao could not waste the system's benefits. Leaving these people here meant feeding and housing them for free every day. He might as well have them work to subsidize the sect's expenses, and he could earn Summoning Points as well.

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

"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 bright picture.

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

"Alright, Sect Master, we understand! We guarantee we'll rake in money by the bucketful! I can carry ten baskets by myself!"

Gu Rong was brimming with confidence. Back when he had been a pathetic Title Douluo, breaking through a single level had taken plenty of time. Now, as long as he made the Sect Master happy, opportunities would be everywhere.

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

"This is actually 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 refinement 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 stood up excitedly and bowed respectfully. "Sect Master, rest assured. This subordinate will master it as quickly as possible!"

Dugu Bo was also something of an expert in the path of poison. What he had witnessed this time had left a deep impression on him, so he absolutely would not miss this opportunity.

"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 harmonious.

After everyone had been assigned their tasks, the main hall became utterly quiet.

Long Xiao opened the system interface, the corners of his mouth lifting slightly. The interface showed that his mission had already been completed.

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

[ Ding! Congratulations, 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 across a thousand li. 2. Host must cultivate to the Diegang Realm. 3. The sect must cumulatively perform 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*10000, lucky draw chance*1. ]

"Good heavens, aren't the rewards for this second mission far too generous?" Long Xiao stared in stunned disbelief. With rewards like these, he had to complete the mission no matter what!

Just thinking about an immortal Light Giant was enough to make him excited.

And that lucky draw was probably something good too.

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

Beginner Automatic Cultivation Manual: After cultivating this manual, the Host's dantian would form an automatic cultivation vortex that would cultivate for the Host at all times.

"Hey, wasn't this a godsend for lazy people? Not bad. I liked 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 though primordial power was about to burst forth, 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 though his intestines had been cleared out—utterly refreshed.

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

He hurriedly checked the remaining items.

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

But the Beginner Cultivation Tower was different.

Beginner Cultivation Tower: A placeable building. Placement required one day.

The Beginner Cultivation Tower contained cultivation rooms, a cultivation pool, and cultivation tools.

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

It opened for two hours each day.

Long Xiao understood. He only needed to find a place to set down the building. With this Cultivation Tower, wouldn't the sect's effects rival those of an advanced sect?

And this was only the beginner version. If it was upgraded to intermediate and advanced versions in the future, wouldn't that be utterly heaven-defying?

After composing himself, Long Xiao headed for the hall entrance. He had 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 entrance, Xu Jiaojiao suddenly rushed over and slammed into his arms.

The impact 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 Bu Le from the Spirit World!

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

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

Tang San was like a 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 every woman in the sect would suffer in the future?

"Jiaojiao, don't be afraid. He's a mental patient. I took pity on him and let him 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 shy.

"Tang San, do not behave rudely toward the women of the sect. Remember not to commit evil deeds. You can go to a brothel in a nearby town to deal with it yourself."

"Yes, Sect Master... but I don't have any money..." Hearing Long Xiao's words, Tang San felt somewhat aggrieved, 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 when he heard that. He hurriedly thanked him. "Thank you, Sect Master! I understand!"

He dashed toward the backyard in a flash.

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.
