Xiao Ziji, a Rank Six Wushi, held the AWM while shooting standing up. One shot sent him flying over twenty meters away—the recoil was truly massive!

It was also Sect Master Jun’s fault. To test the sniper rifle’s power, he loaded it not with low or middle-grade bullets, but high Rank Five bullets.

Poor Xiao Ziji was shocked until his muscles went rigid, maintaining his gun-holding posture the entire time, his neck still crooked. When he returned to the sect, his senior and junior brothers showered him with concern.

“Junior Brother Xiao, what happened to you?”

“Could this be some brand new cultivation method?”

“Let me try.”

“Bang!”

Suddenly, another gunshot rang out from the back mountain, making everyone’s ears buzz loudly.

“Rumble!”

Another commotion came, and the ground trembled along with it.

“What’s going on?”

“Could it be… the mountain collapsed?”

“Let’s go check it out!”

The disciples hurried toward the back mountain. As soon as they entered, every single one of them was dumbstruck.

The first thing visible upon entering the back mountain was a tall, upright small mountain peak in the distance—now cut in half at the waist!

“Senior Brother, what’s going on?” Li Fei asked in shock.

Su Xiaomo’s mouth twitched as she said, “You’re asking me? Who am I supposed to ask!”

“Look quickly!”

Someone exclaimed in shock, “The Sect Master is in the tree!”

The Sect Master is in the tree?

Everyone looked over and saw that on that large tree, the Sect Master was indeed… hanging there, his eyelids rolled upward, white foam spurting from his mouth.

“This is bad, this is bad!”

“The Sect Master is injured!”

“Quick, quick, take him to the Medicine Hall for emergency treatment!”

The entire Tiegu Sect was thrown into chaos.

…

At the martial arts training ground, Sect Master Jun held his arms in a gun-holding pose, his neck crooked, doing morning exercises with his disciples.

After Xiao Ziji tested the gun, he had tried it too, and he had even activated the special effect—five bullets converging into one super bullet. As a result, after firing one shot, he was shocked into this appearance.

Although it was quite tragic, his heart was happy!

Because the divinely modified AWM sniper rifle with special effects had truly terrifying power. A small mountain peak in the back mountain was directly blasted away—it was simply comparable to a mortar!

“Could a Wuwang withstand this?” Jun Changxiao wondered.

System: “…”

Previously, it had always emphasized that the power of hot weapons was ultimately limited, and to become stronger, one still had to rely on martial techniques and weapons suitable for the high-martial world.

Now that the divinely modified AWM had blasted away a small mountain peak with one shot, it was slapped in the face again!

The System said, “This gun’s special effect is very strong, but does the host really expect to rely on special effects to bombard Wuwang every time?”

“Of course not.”

Jun Changxiao said, “I can take it and go bombard evil sects, blasting their entire sects away.”

The System said speechlessly, “You’re using the AWM like an Italian cannon.”

“Is that not allowed?”

“…”

…

After testing the gun’s power, Jun Changxiao was very satisfied, calculating that he should find time to go to the evil sect forces in Huayang Commandery.

If those evil sect forces that had left saw the power of the AWM’s super bullet just now and knew about this guy’s ideas, they would definitely tremble with fear.

Mission Pavilion.

Jun Changxiao walked in after finishing morning exercises.

After the last round of sect missions was completed, none had been issued since. With no disciples inside, it seemed empty and deserted.

“Whoosh!”

He took out the mission publisher.

Judging from its appearance, it looked more like a TV remote control, with only two buttons on it: ‘Start’ and ‘Stop’.

“This is way too simple.” Jun Changxiao said speechlessly.

“Click.”

He pressed the start button.

“Whoosh—”

The sect mission board immediately lit up, displaying all kinds of missions, including one-star ones and two-to-three-star ones!

With this arrangement, the mission board would have missions every day.

After disciples accepted them and completed them, not only could they gain experience through training, but they could also obtain contribution points to purchase needed items—truly killing two birds with one stone.

Unfortunately, most of the goods in the disciple mall vending machine were relatively low-grade. The only things worth buying were basically just Qi-Gathering Powder.

The System said, “Does the host really hope that all the goods inside are various divine weapons and divine techniques?”

“Not really.” Jun Changxiao said.

The System said, “So, the value of the disciple mall lies in providing all disciples with necessary protection. If there were really many high-end goods, then everyone would have a system.”

These words left Jun Changxiao speechless.

“Moreover.”

The System said, “Some goods in the disciple mall are better than those in major sects. As the sect’s disciple numbers grow larger and larger, this becomes especially important.”

“That makes sense.” Jun Changxiao said.

Various high-level martial techniques and weapons still had to rely on his own system and its various functions. The disciple mall’s purpose was to serve the masses, so it was quite normal for the items inside to be more ordinary.

This “ordinary” was only compared to Sect Master Jun’s system.

If placed in any other sect, it would absolutely be super awesome!

“Of course.”

The System added, “As the host’s sect level and construction improve, the disciple mall will also automatically update with better goods, but in any case, they won’t be too heaven-defying.”

“Understood.”

Jun Changxiao called Li Qingyang over and told him that missions had been activated in the Mission Pavilion, letting the disciples come and accept them on their own.

Before long, a large group of disciples had gathered in the Mission Pavilion, surrounding the mission board so tightly that not even water could pass through.

Although Tiegu Sect provided medicinal pills and Spirit-Gathering Arrays, who would ever complain about having too many resources? So they definitely wanted to do missions to exchange for Qi-Gathering Powder.

Those with strong abilities accepted high-star missions.

Those with low abilities accepted low-star missions.

Inner sect disciples were excluded because their current focus was becoming stronger, with Jun Changxiao providing all resources.

…

The sect mission board, vending machine, and mission publisher—the three combined gave Tiegu Sect a complete mission system that would continue as the norm from now on.

Unfortunately, for missions published by the mission publisher, after disciples completed them they only received disciple contribution points. Jun Changxiao got nothing. Otherwise, contribution points and achievement points would be completely inexhaustible.

“I still have to rely on my own diligent hands to create things.”

Sitting in the great hall, Jun Changxiao propped up his chin and said, “There’s still one bottle of supreme quality constitution modification liquid. Who should I give it to?”

Li Qingyang and the others all had supreme quality spirit roots, so if he was going to consider anyone, it would be disciples from the second batch who became inner sect members.

“Long Ziyang’s growth speed is pretty good. He can be cultivated.” Jun Changxiao murmured.

“Qingyang.”

He said, “What do you think?”

“Sect Master.”

Li Qingyang said, “Junior Brother Long’s aptitude is beyond question, and he cultivates very diligently, but his emotions have been a bit low lately. It seems he has something troubling him.”

As the head steward, he always paid attention to the junior brothers’ situations.

“Call him over.”

“Yes.”

Before long, Long Ziyang walked in and cupped his hands, saying, “Sect Master.”

Jun Changxiao said, “I heard you haven’t been very motivated in cultivation these past few days. Do you have something on your mind?”

“No… no.” Long Ziyang said.

That tone, those subtle expressions floating across his brow—only a ghost would believe he had nothing on his mind.

Jun Changxiao propped up his chin and said, “If you have something troubling you, you should boldly speak up. The Sect Master will help you solve your worries.”

“I…”

Long Ziyang fell silent for a moment, then clenched his fists and mustered his courage to say, “Sect Master, can I return home for a visit?”

“What for?” Jun Changxiao asked.

Long Ziyang said, “In five more days, it will be my family’s grand competition day. This disciple would like to attend.”

“Tsk tsk.”

Jun Changxiao took a sip of tea and said, “Even a family has a grand competition—that’s somewhat impressive.”

Long Ziyang said, “Sect Master, at this point, this disciple won’t hide it—I am a direct line descendant of the Long Family of Longyang City.”

“Pfft!”

Jun Changxiao sprayed out a mouthful of tea.

First there was Lily Saint Sect, now there’s Longyang City.

The names of sects and cities in this alternate world were truly slick!

“Longyang City, Long Family?”

Li Qingyang beside him looked startled and exclaimed in shock, “That’s a great family that rivals the Four-Five Sects!”
