Where did the pill come from?

Naturally, it was exchanged from the sect system’s basic store.

This healing pill that only cost 1 contribution point—Jun Changxiao hadn’t been too optimistic about it initially. After all, that person’s injuries were too severe; he was practically at death’s door.

Who would have thought…

After just a moment of taking it, the critically injured and unconscious person opened their eyes!

Lu Qianqian was also greatly surprised.

Ordinary wound medicine didn’t have such powerful effects!

Even more miraculous was that the claw marks running across the injured person’s back rapidly healed and quickly scabbed over.

“How is this possible…”

Lu Qianqian could hardly believe it, even doubting whether what she was seeing was real.

It was very real.

Because in about a moment, that person’s injuries healed, and he leapt up from the ground with a bound.

A critically injured, unconscious person at death’s door—after taking the pill for just a short time, he was jumping around full of vigor and vitality. How incredibly unbelievable!

“I’m rich, I’m rich!”

Jun Changxiao’s eyes burned with fervor.

An elementary healing pill exchanged for 1 contribution point had such powerful healing effects—it could absolutely be sold!

In the martial world, people didn’t just twist their ankles or pull their muscles—even severe injuries were commonplace.

The elementary healing pill with its powerful effects would absolutely be priceless!

Exchange all the remaining points, find a way to sell them at high prices, make money to expand the sect’s territory and decorate it properly—would he still worry about not recruiting disciples?

The more Jun Changxiao thought about it, the more excited he became. He hurriedly pulled up the system panel, preparing to exchange all his remaining 4 contribution points for elementary healing pills.

Sect store, open!

Basic store, open!

He scrolled down all the way until he reached the very end, only to see the elementary healing pill displayed in a dim gray, with a line of small text floating below that read—Limited to 1 purchase per month.

“Thud.”

Jun Changxiao sat down hard on the ground, howling in his heart: “Damn it all, there’s a purchase limit too!”

Lu Qianqian saw this and thought to herself: “What’s wrong with him?”

…

After witnessing the effects of the elementary healing pill, Jun Changxiao had begun planning his beautiful future life.

But those four words “purchase limit” were like thin needles that ruthlessly punctured the balloon carrying him to the sky, making him instantly plummet from great heights, falling so painfully hard.

“I see, I see.”

Jun Changxiao muttered to himself: “The main quest was already incredibly difficult—the system wouldn’t leave me such an obvious loophole.”

“Alas.”

He let out a long sigh, struggled to stand up, but discovered that the previously injured person had vanished. He asked in astonishment: “Qianqian, where did that person go?”

“He left.”

“Left… left?”

Jun Changxiao almost fell back down again.

This lord expended 1 precious contribution point to restore that guy’s injuries, and he left without even saying thank you? This was too damn awful!

Lu Qianqian said coolly: “Sect Leader, I advise you to just be a bad person instead. In the Xingyun Continent, being a good person often ends badly.”

Jun Changxiao knew this woman was deliberately mocking him. His temper flared as he said: “I refuse to believe there’s no conscience in this world!”

“Conscience?”

Lu Qianqian’s beautiful eyes filled with intense killing intent as she said through gritted teeth: “Some people’s consciences were eaten by dogs long ago.”

Jun Changxiao shivered.

Lu Qianqian had also shown killing intent earlier, but the killing intent emanating now was exceptionally terrifying.

This woman’s backstory was definitely not simple!

And those people she mentioned—was she making a sweeping generalization, or was she referring specifically to one particular person?

…

Jun Changxiao’s purpose in being a good person and doing good deeds was actually to save the injured person and then recruit him into his Iron Bone Integrity Sect.

The result?

The guy disappeared without even saying thank you.

Jun Changxiao was very helpless. At the same time, he came to understand that in this world, if you went around trying to do good deeds and perform acts of kindness, you were absolutely a super huge idiot!

Earth had laws to constrain people—this place didn’t.

Earth had moral shackles—this place didn’t have those either!

Jun Changxiao looked up at the sky, his gaze resolute as he said: “Since I’ve come to the Xingyun Continent, from today onward, I naturally must act according to the rules of this world!”

What rules?

Four simple words: The strong reign supreme!

Want to avoid being bullied? Want to possess power and wealth? Want to have three wives and four concubines, to be worshipped by all living beings?

Fine.

First, you must become a powerful person—a heaven-shaking, earth-shattering powerful person!

“Ding!”

“Congratulations to the host for initially comprehending the laws of the Xingyun Continent. Hidden quest completed. Reward: 10 contribution points!”

“Ding!”

“Sect contribution points: 14/100.”

Jun Changxiao was completely confused: “There are hidden quests too?”

“Yes.”

The system’s voice came: “The quests in the Strongest Sect System are divided into main quests, side quests, and hidden quests.”

“Hidden quests are concealed within the panel—the host must complete them through fortuitous coincidences.”

Jun Changxiao was speechless.

Side quests needed to be triggered, but at least you could see the quest details.

Hidden quests were hidden away, relying on fortuitous coincidences to complete them—this setup was really damn awful!

“Of course.”

The system continued: “There’s also a fourth type of quest, called Epic Quests!”

“Epic Quests?”

Jun Changxiao perked up his ears.

The system explained: “When the host reaches a certain cultivation level, Epic Quests will be triggered. Upon completion, extremely generous rewards can be obtained.”

“How generous?”

Jun Changxiao’s eyes burned with fervor.

The system said: “The rewards obtained from Epic Quests will be determined based on the host’s completion rate and cultivation level.”

Jun Changxiao said: “You mean the better I complete it and the higher my cultivation, the more generous the reward?”

“Correct.”

“When can I trigger an Epic Quest?”

“Apologies, regarding Epic Quests, the host must explore on their own. The system will not provide too many hints to avoid disrupting balance.”

“Tch.”

Jun Changxiao rolled his eyes, then happily pulled up the attribute panel and opened the sect store.

Having inexplicably and somehow completed a hidden quest and obtained 10 contribution points, he definitely wanted to find a way to spend them!

“What should I choose?”

Looking at row after row of goods, Jun Changxiao was indecisive.

He felt all the items inside were good and had impulses to exchange for all of them.

“Sect Leader.”

Lu Qianqian, walking ahead, said coldly: “We’re almost at Qingyang City.”

Jun Changxiao put away the data panel, only then noticing that at the end of the visible horizon ahead was a city—from a distance, it looked like a lion crouching between heaven and earth!

He shook his head: “This is the largest city in Qingyang Commandery, Qingyang City? It’s not as imposing as I imagined.”

When Jun Changxiao walked all the way and finally stood before the city gates, looking up at the city walls reaching dozens of meters high, he said in astonishment: “So tall!”

Seeing this expression from him, passersby cast contemptuous glances.

Some even whispered: “Even if this guy hasn’t seen Qingyang City, he should have heard of it, right?”

“That girl looks pretty good—is she with him?”

Lu Qianqian’s willow-leaf eyebrows furrowed slightly. She instinctively took several steps back, maintaining some distance from the sect leader, as if telling the passersby: This person, I don’t know him.

Jun Changxiao withdrew his shocked gaze, grinning as he said: “In the future, I’ll definitely build the Iron Bone Integrity Sect even more magnificent than Qingyang City!”

Iron Bone Integrity Sect?

Someone said in a low voice: “Could this person be a disciple of the Iron Bone Sect from Qingyang Village?”

“Wrong.”

Jun Changxiao turned around, hands on his hips: “This lord is not a disciple of the Iron Bone Sect. This lord is the second generation sect leader of the Iron Bone Sect!”

Gah!

The area before the city gates fell into brief silence, then erupted in roaring laughter!

“Haha!”

“This guy is a sect leader?”

“Stop joking!”

“Although the Iron Bone Sect exists in name only, it’s not something a wet-behind-the-ears youngster can just casually become sect leader of!”

“Hahaha… I can’t take it, I’m laughing so hard tears are coming out…”
