Gurgle...
At the most inappropriate moment, Long Xiao's stomach suddenly growled.
Qian Renxue, in his arms, burst into laughter. The sect master really looked like a weak person now, even his stomach was growling. Such attention to detail.
"Sect Master, Xue'er has food here."
She grabbed the clothes by the bath pool, took out some pastries from her storage soul tool, arranged them on a plate, and placed it beside Long Xiao.
"You should eat too." Long Xiao picked up a pastry and put it into his mouth.
Qian Renxue picked one up and took a bite. It was fragrant and crisp, sweet and delicious—these were all snacks she usually liked.
"So delicious, Sect Master. Have some more too."
Her slender fingers picked up a pastry and playfully stuffed it into Long Xiao's mouth.
The two were in the bath pool, Qian Renxue sitting on Long Xiao's lap. Their eyes met, and they played to their hearts' content.
After a while, Long Xiao had eaten his fill.
"It's getting late. I should head back."
Long Xiao rose and stepped out of the bath pool, then put on his white mysterious robe.
Seeing that Long Xiao was leaving, Qian Renxue was somewhat reluctant to part with him. They had had so much fun that afternoon, so she hurriedly got up and dressed herself.
Just as Long Xiao was straightening his clothes, a pair of lotus-white arms wrapped around his waist from behind.
"Sect Master, don't go. Can you stay with me tonight? You can leave tomorrow, okay?"
Although she was already a grown girl, Qian Renxue's voice carried a trace of coquettishness and longing.
Perhaps today's golden liquid incident had opened the door to a new life for her.
"Alright. I have nothing to do tonight anyway. Tomorrow, I'll show everyone something good." Long Xiao turned around, drew Qian Renxue into his embrace, and planted a kiss on her forehead.
"Mm!"
Qian Renxue smiled. It was her favorite kind of smile.
The next day.
When Qian Renxue woke up, Long Xiao was standing by the window, gazing into the distance.
"Sect Master, you were so tired last night. Why did you get up so early today?"
Long Xiao stood with his hands behind his back, looking every bit like a master. "Xue'er, hurry up and get dressed. Today, I'm going to show you all a great treasure."
"Oh."
Qian Renxue hurriedly put on her clothes, then ran to the mirror for a look. Only after discovering that the marks on her body had vanished did she breathe a sigh of relief.
She looked at Long Xiao. Dressed in flowing white, he was peerlessly elegant.
"Sect Master, you look so handsome today!"
Long Xiao raised an eyebrow slightly upon hearing that.
"Ahem, why are you stating such obvious facts? Let's go."
He walked side by side with Qian Renxue and had already gathered everyone at the sect plaza through the voice transmission of his exclusive summoned characters. Xu Jiaojiao and Mo Duo had come as well.
Everyone wondered what the sect master was planning to do.
Long Xiao stood before them.
"Ahem. To allow everyone to fulfill their duties while also focusing on cultivation, this sect has decided to use divine powers to create a cultivation environment where you can achieve twice the result with half the effort!"
Everyone froze for a moment before revealing looks of delight.
"Long live the Sect Master!" Xu Jiaojiao turned into a little fangirl.
The Divine Sect's four middle-aged and elderly male gods—Qian Daoliu, Chen Xin, Gu Rong, and Dugu Bo—looked at one another, their eyes filled with reverence.
"Wonderful! Will we finally get to witness the Sect Master's methods today?"
"The Sect Master either does nothing, or makes a shocking move."
Mo Duo narrowed his clouded eyes slightly. He was also greatly looking forward to seeing what was so extraordinary about the sect master whom everyone admired so much.
Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue merely smiled, showing no other emotion. Their eyes held only Long Xiao.
Bibi Dong in particular, after hearing Qian Renxue describe what had happened last night, felt both happy and jealous.
Putting on a mysterious air, Long Xiao walked to an open space and picked a decent spot.
"System, build the Beginner Cultivation Tower."
[Ding! Construction in progress. Estimated time: one hour.]
Rumble!
A tremendous crash rang out. Everyone widened their eyes, looking as though they had seen a ghost.
Mo Duo rubbed his eyes, making sure he was not mistaken.
Before them, the phantom of a majestic four-story tower had suddenly risen—and it was slowly materializing!
"Th-this... Gu Rong, pinch me." Qian Daoliu pointed at the sight before him, too shocked to speak coherently.
"Ah?"
Gu Rong stared blankly for a moment, then gave him a vicious pinch.
Pain shot through him, and Qian Daoliu immediately came to his senses. So he really was not dreaming.
"Holy shit, the Sect Master really is a god!"
He leaped up excitedly, both hands clenched into fists.
Chen Xin and the others from Spirit Continent were also dumbfounded. As Title Douluo, they usually only showed off a few soul skills. At most, food-type soul masters could produce some things, but those were still created from soul power.
Xu Jiaojiao became even more convinced that Long Xiao was an unparalleled great expert!
Thud!
Mo Duo dropped directly to his knees!
He had never seen or heard of such power to create things from the void. Moreover, the sect master had not emitted even the slightest spiritual pressure from beginning to end. In other words, this had been accomplished with a single thought!
Even a Supreme realm expert probably did not possess such ability, did they?
How could his Demon Cloud Sect possibly afford to provoke him? He had decided that from now on, he would serve the Divine Sect with all his heart and soul!
He had to secure his position as the toilet administrator. Later, he would go scrub the toilets until they sparkled!
Long Xiao turned around and looked at the stunned crowd. This was all within his expectations. After all, it was rare to get a chance to show off.
If the people before him were figures like the Wild Heavenly Emperor or Old Devil Han, he definitely would not dare show off in front of them. But before several Heavenly Dipper experts, he could put on a display.
The only person who remained quiet throughout was Tang San. It had nothing to do with him.
He was currently holding a huge sum of five thousand gold coins, just waiting for lunchtime and the end of work so he could visit a brothel. So many tender beauties were waiting for him to save them.
"This is a cultivation tower. It contains cultivation grounds such as spirit pools, secret chambers, and formations. More importantly, the spiritual energy inside is three times denser than outside."
"In one hour, everyone can go inside and experience it."
Long Xiao explained.
This was only the beginner level for now. If it continued to be upgraded, the tower should become even more powerful.
"Wow."
Xu Jiaojiao's eyes lit up. Wasn't this the kind of thing only high-level sects possessed? Didn't that mean she could eventually catch up to those so-called geniuses?
"Sect Master, the Divine Sect has many strong experts. It's time we recruited disciples," Mo Duo suggested.
A proper sect should not have only this handful of people, and all the rooms were empty.
More importantly, if there were disciples, then he, the toilet administrator, would have business and status!
"Mm, your suggestion is good. It is indeed time to recruit disciples. However, the Divine Sect values quality over quantity. Do you have any suggestions?" Long Xiao looked at Mo Duo.
He also wanted to experience being called Sect Master wherever he went.
The sect now had many strong experts, though it was not very wealthy. But with a cultivation tower comparable to those of high-level sects, it should be able to attract quite a few people.
Of course, the sect currently had no salaries or anything of the sort, so disciples without money could not be accepted for the time being.
"From what I learned earlier, in seven days, Fallen Immortal City five hundred li away will hold a sect recruitment gathering. At that time, young people from nearby towns will all head there, hoping to catch the eye of some sect," Mo Duo replied.
"Oh? There's such a thing? Good. In seven days, we'll go recruit disciples!"
