Heavenly Dao Sect Is Our Household

Early that morning, Su Bai summoned several disciples to the main hall and explained the relationship between missions and points.

A huge mission board hung on one wall of the hall, covered with missions and the points awarded for completing them.

"You can all accept these missions and earn points to exchange for cultivation pills and battle techniques. Each mission has a difficulty rating behind it. Act according to your cultivation level, and never force yourselves."

Su Bai gave them a serious reminder.

"Understood!"

"We will remember Master's teachings!"

The four disciples cupped their fists respectfully and answered in unison.

Afterward, the four of them went beneath the mission board and looked over the missions.

Su Bai stood to one side, watching to see what sort of missions his disciples would choose.

"Planting spirit herbs—I did that before when I was a handyman at the Lingxiao Sect. It isn't very difficult, but it takes three months before there are results."

"Each of us can accept it ten times. When the time comes, I'll teach you how to plant and water them. Three months later, each of us can earn one hundred points!"

Zhuge Feng's eyes lit up. He had plenty of experience planting spirit herbs.

He had even ranked first among the handyman disciples in the spirit herb planting assessment!

"Then many thanks, Eldest Senior Brother!" Xiao Yan said, cupping his fists.

"Thank you, Eldest Senior Brother!" Xiao Lingxi and Ye Qingyao also bowed in thanks, each accepting the spirit herb planting mission ten times.

"You're too polite, Junior Brothers and Junior Sisters. We're all fellow disciples!" Zhuge Feng said with a hearty smile.

"Decorate the sect, with points awarded according to completion... Hehe, leave this one to me!"

Xiao Lingxi giggled and accepted one of the missions.

"Senior Sister Lingxi has always had good taste. When the time comes, the sect will definitely look clean and beautiful!" Xiao Yan said with a smile.

"Of course!" Xiao Lingxi said proudly.

Everyone burst into laughter.

"Carve a sect stele, ten points. Leave this to me—it'll be just right for tempering my body!" Xiao Yan also chose a mission.

Everyone nodded. As Xiao Lingxi smiled, she turned her gaze toward Ye Qingyao.

Among these missions, aside from planting spirit herbs, most were not something a frail Mortal Body girl could complete.

After thinking for a moment, she took Ye Qingyao's hand and said, "Junior Sister Qingyao, let's team up and accept the mission to clean the sect. We'll split the points fifty-fifty when the time comes!"

Ye Qingyao froze for a moment, then looked up to see Xiao Lingxi smiling at her.

"Senior Sister... I... I'm afraid I'll hold you back..." Ye Qingyao said softly, biting her lip.

After all, she was only a mortal, and years of malnourishment had left her thin and weak.

"Silly girl, what are you thinking? The Heavenly Dao Sect is our household. You're my junior sister, so you're my little sister!" Xiao Lingxi said with a cheerful smile.

"Household... little sister..." Hearing that form of address, Ye Qingyao's nose could not help but sting.

Ever since her older sister had been taken away, this was the first person to call her little sister.

Heavenly Dao Sect... household... ours!

"Mm!"

Ye Qingyao nodded heavily, revealing a radiant smile.

Watching his disciples getting along so harmoniously, Su Bai nodded slightly.

This was the kind of sect atmosphere that felt like a household!

Then, with a flash, he appeared outside Cloudwater City's gates.

The Heavenly Dao Sect's territorial border had now reached the city gates. As long as he did not enter the city, he was invincible!

"The Heavenly Dao Sect is recruiting disciples! First come, first served—limited slots available!"

Times had changed. Previously, Su Bai had been mocked whenever he tried to recruit disciples, but now things were completely different.

The moment he spoke, a long line instantly formed outside the city gates.

"Immortal Master, these are some local specialties. Please accept them..."

The young man at the front of the line took out a cloth pouch and stuffed it into Su Bai's hand.

Su Bai did not even need to open it to know that it contained several dozen taels of silver.

Trying to test him with this?

What man could withstand such a test?

"Sorry, I'm not used to eating local specialties. Take it back. This sect's assessment looks neither at aptitude nor wealth—only fate!"

Su Bai said indifferently as he pushed the "local specialties" back.

Was Su Bai the kind of person who lacked this little bit of money?

"You don't look at aptitude? Can a Mortal Body cultivate too?" someone asked doubtfully.

Generally speaking, when sects accepted disciples, their aptitude did not necessarily need to be exceptional, but it absolutely could not be poor!

If one's aptitude was too poor, then even pouring in vast resources would lead nowhere. It would only be wasted effort.

"Enter my Heavenly Dao Sect, and even a Mortal Body can achieve great things!" Su Bai said calmly.

The moment his words fell, everyone around him was astonished.

Yet in Su Bai's eyes, nurturing a genius into an unparalleled powerhouse did not prove much.

Only by nurturing a Mortal Body into an unparalleled powerhouse could one prove the Heavenly Dao Sect's ability to teach disciples!

That was precisely why he had accepted Ye Qingyao!

"Immortal Master, if that is the case, this junior is willing to join the Heavenly Dao Sect."

Voices rose one after another as everyone wanted to join the Heavenly Dao Sect.

"Line up. One at a time."

Su Bai began testing the first person's "fate."

Ding! Sect loyalty: -10. Unable to join the sect.

Looking at the young man before him who had just offered him the "local specialties," Su Bai's mouth twitched slightly.

Come on, man. I wouldn't even say anything if your loyalty were zero, but what the hell is with a negative number?

Did he hate the Heavenly Dao Sect?

"Immortal Master, can I join the sect?" the young man asked expectantly.

Su Bai immediately spent one point to inspect the young man's information. He truly wanted to know where that negative number had come from.

Name: Ma Xiaohu

Age: 22

Cultivation: Mortal

Background: Handyman disciple of the Tiger Might Sect, sent by an elder to investigate the true strength of the Heavenly Dao Sect.

Looking at the displayed information, Su Bai's face went dark.

No wonder it was negative—he was a spy!

Ding! Sect loyalty: -8. Unable to join the sect.

Ding! Sect loyalty: -19. Unable to join the sect.

Ding! Sect loyalty: -11. Unable to join the sect.

Ten in a row, and every one of their loyalty scores was negative. Su Bai shook his head helplessly.

After he had slaughtered the Jade Spirit Sect, many experts from the surrounding factions had witnessed it. Naturally, they wanted to learn more about the Heavenly Dao Sect's true strength, so sending disciples over was only reasonable.

He just had not expected them all to be "spies"!

Where were the normal people?

Not even one?

"I heard that all the deacon disciples from the Lingxiao Sect in Cloudwater City have left. It seems the Lingxiao Sect is about to make a major move?"

"Of course! The Heavenly Dao Sect practically wiped out the Jade Spirit Sect. The Jade Spirit Sect is the Lingxiao Sect's lackey—do you think the Lingxiao Sect will sit still?"

"Hiss, does that mean Lingxiao Sect experts will soon come to retaliate against the Heavenly Dao Sect?"

"I originally wanted to join the Heavenly Dao Sect, but when I think about the deep enmity between the Heavenly Dao Sect and the Lingxiao Sect, my heart trembles!"

"Yeah. The last sect that provoked the Lingxiao Sect had all eight thousand of its members wiped out. I heard even passing dogs were caught up in it..."

Listening to the passersby's discussion nearby, Su Bai understood.

Destroying the Jade Spirit Sect alone was far from enough. Until the towering mountain that was the Lingxiao Sect was moved aside, no normal person would dare join the Heavenly Dao Sect!

After all, when Lingxiao Sect experts arrived, they would not care whether someone had joined later. They would simply wipe them all out.

The prestige of an Immortal Alliance Top Five Hundred sect was simply too deeply rooted!
