Jun Changxiao lay atop the main hall all night thinking about many things. In the end, he still suppressed all the chaotic matters, putting his mind into cultivation and sect development. As for the Rose Queen… couldn’t he just never go to the battlefield again!
If the planar bosses learned this, they would definitely set off firecrackers in celebration.
The next day.
Jun Changxiao came to the Mission Pavilion, instructing disciples to complete tasks at maximum speed to raise the sect’s grade, thereby expanding the upper limits for personnel, contribution points, and such.
Perhaps to continue running away.
He tried to turn himself into a workaholic, visiting every hall and making successive deployments.
“This…”
Tao Yuan was somewhat confused.
The Sect Master came to the War Mount Hall and ordered members to pay more attention to hygiene—it was somewhat… too strange.
Xue Rengui said: “Since it’s an order, execute it quickly.”
“Yes!”
Thus, that very day saw large numbers of War Mount Hall members wielding brooms and beginning a major cleaning, quickly tidying War Mount Peak until it was spotless.
The Medicine Hall and Drizzle Hall didn’t slack off either, all mobilizing to clean.
Most tragic was the Spirit Beast Hall, because Purple Hall Master was leading Old Bull and others throughout Tiegu Mountain picking up beast droppings, following the Sect Master’s earlier instructions.
“Damn!”
“Whose is this—it’s stinking this king to death!”
“King! You stepped in it!”
“Ahhh! Spread the word—from now on, whoever dares to defecate anywhere in the mountain will have their monthly beast pills completely withheld!”
Evening arrived, and through the efforts of each hall, the Eternal Sect had a completely new appearance.
Of course.
Regarding matters of the Sect Master’s Lady, the disciples no longer dared discuss them privately, because the Sect Master had explicitly forbidden it. Anyone who violated this would be punished at the Discipline Hall.
“Strange.”
Li Qingyang said puzzled: “Why haven’t we seen Eldest Senior Sister?”
“Since returning from the battlefield, Eldest Senior Sister has gone into the Nine Heavens Secret Realm alone.” Li Shangtian said.
…
Nine Heavens Secret Realm, Ice Heaven.
In a world of endless snowflakes, Lu Qianqian stood on an icy mountain like a proud plum blossom in deep winter.
Since gaining this type of heaven and earth with extremely strong ice attributes, she spent most of her time inside. Her understanding of ice elements was also growing increasingly profound.
“Grand Elder, I’ve comprehended the sixth layer of the Supreme Mystic Ice Heart Formula, yet why is it always difficult to achieve a heart like still water?” Lu Qianqian’s brow showed a trace of confusion and distress.
One of two divine-grade and above mental cultivation methods from Supreme Mystic Elder, she’d cultivated it for a long time. Having inherited the Ice Emperor’s legacy in Northeast Luzhou, cultivation should be easy, yet the results were unsatisfactory.
Even repeatedly reaching that boundary layer, she always failed at the critical moment.
“Hey.”
Suddenly, a shout came from the mountain base.
Jun Changxiao appeared in Ice Heaven at some unknown time. He sat cross-legged on an ice boulder. Though dressed lightly, he wasn’t affected by the cold aura at all.
Lu Qianqian’s tone was cold as always: “Does the Sect Master have instructions?”
“Don’t misunderstand.” Jun Changxiao said.
Lu Qianqian turned around, looking at him with her clear, cold eyes: “Misunderstand what?”
Jun Changxiao said rather awkwardly: “I never said anything outside. Don’t be deceived by that woman.”
“The Sect Master is overthinking.”
Lu Qianqian said flatly: “This disciple didn’t think much, nor did I misunderstand.”
“That’s good then.”
Jun Changxiao jumped down from the ice boulder: “This seat won’t disturb your cultivation.”
“Oh, right.”
Before leaving, he turned back: “When you have time, help your fellow disciples more.”
Among the sect’s two most unsociable disciples, Ye Xingchen had already entered Lingyan Pavilion. Only Lu Qianqian hadn’t met the requirements.
Lingyan Pavilion only had twenty-four spots, so Jun Changxiao hoped his eldest disciple could enter and obtain corresponding rewards to improve herself.
Though Gousheng tried to be fair and just among disciples, because Lu Qianqian was the first to join, he was somewhat partial.
Li Luoqiu had noticed.
So she would tease him about it when idle.
…
“Ding! Disciple Yang Yuhua completed a sect mission, obtaining 50 contribution points and 50 achievement points.”
“Ding! Sect contribution points: 60,100/70,000.”
“Ding! Sect achievement points: 40,110/70,000.”
After prohibiting discussion of the Sect Master’s Lady, the disciples returned to their daily lives, continuing to do sect missions. Almost every interval, Jun Changxiao’s ear would ring with completion notifications.
“After completing everything, there’ll still be twenty thousand excess contribution points, so I must spend them first.”
“Swoosh!”
He opened the Advanced Store and continued browsing the goods given from the last refresh.
This guy had developed a habit—once he bought needed items, he wouldn’t pay attention to it. When he needed to use contribution points, he’d pull it out to continue viewing.
Mainly because he didn’t dare look.
Almost every item in the Advanced Store was useful, had purchase value. If he couldn’t control himself, he’d quickly declare bankruptcy.
“Swoosh!”
Suddenly, Jun Changxiao jumped up from his chair, saying excitedly: “Half… Half-step Wusheng Pill!?”
No mistake.
At the very end of the Advanced Store, it clearly stated “Half-step Wusheng Pill Recipe.”
“Hahaha!”
“Hahahaha!”
Nearly maniacal laughter rang out from the study, immediately echoing throughout the Eternal Sect.
Li Qingyang, Xiao Zuiji, and the other disciples who were busy heard it and all shook their heads: “The Sect Master has gone mad again.”
“Sigh.”
Standing in the medicine garden, Elder Wei said helplessly: “Matters of the heart, if they torment one’s inner self long-term, can make a person mentally unstable.”
…
Half-step Wusheng Pill.
As the name suggested, consuming it would allow a peak Wuhuang to instantly break through.
Jun Changxiao had Wushi Pills, Wuwang Pills, and Surge Talismans that could temporarily raise cultivation. Now having a pill for entering half-saint realm—this was truly a complete package for major realm advancement!
However, it was somewhat expensive.
Required 30,000 contribution points.
“Even one hundred thousand, I’d buy it!”
Jun Changxiao didn’t even consider before buying it. After it automatically matched to the Pill Pavilion, he opened it and saw over a hundred types of medicinal materials listed. His lips twitched: “The materials are way too many!”
The materials needed for Half-step Wusheng Pills were not only numerous but also extremely high quality, especially the main materials numbering over ten types at saint-grade level.
“Far too scarce.”
Jun Changxiao said speechlessly: “Being able to gather one set would be good!”
His previous excitement and enthusiasm, after seeing the required medicinal materials, immediately cooled down. He was practically ready to bang his forehead against the wall.
The Half-step Wusheng Pill had no effect on him but could be given to disciples like Li Qingyang and Ye Xingchen who were stuck at peak Wuhuang level.
But if he couldn’t mass-produce it, it had no meaning of existence.
“No good.”
Jun Changxiao said: “Must find a way to get materials.”
“You can go to the battlefield to trade with Nine Heavens Continent and other planes.” The system suggested.
“…”
Jun Changxiao’s expression became splendid.
I just said I wouldn’t go to the planar battlefield anymore. Did the pill appear specifically to slap my face?
“Right!”
Jun Changxiao’s eyes brightened: “I can go to Star Fortress. There’s an underground black market there—I should be able to buy medicinal materials for refining Half-step Wusheng Pills!”
The system said: “The Fortress Lord is still looking for the host. Going there voluntarily isn’t that walking into a trap?”
