Chapter 83: A Path to Death! Come and Curse with Me, You Scum! (Part 2)

"Ah, my resources!!! Where are my cultivation resources?!"

"Oh no, could it be that I lost them while cultivating outside yesterday? Those were my resources for half a month! Without resources, how will I survive the rest of the month?! If I fail the assessment, I'll be expelled from the sect!"

Some comforted, some blamed, and some reveled in their misfortune.

"Quick, look for them!"

"Don't panic, even without resources, there's still a chance to pass the assessment."

"Oh dear, how could you be so careless? Unlike me, I always... keep them on my person, and even hold them in my hand while sleeping, afraid of losing them. Alas!"

This person, who had been reveling in their misfortune, patted his chest as he spoke, but as he did, his expression changed drastically, and he began to frantically search his body, even from head to toe, several times!

The more he searched, the more his face contorted, and the more sweat poured down.

In the end, he trembled all over, his face twisted in agony, and his eyes almost rolled back: "Ahhh, my resources?!"

"Where are my resources?!"

Just now, he had been mocking and reveling in others' misfortune, but at this moment, he was even more anxious than his fellow disciples who had discovered their loss. He frantically pushed through the crowd and returned to his bed, searching everywhere, but still found nothing.

It couldn't be found!

"Who did this?!"

"Who stole my resources?!"

Breathing heavily like an old ox, he found the disciples on either side of him: "Is it you? Give me back my resources?!"

"You're crazy! Why would we steal them?!"

The two were furious, how could they take this blame?

"Then show us your resources, I marked each of my essence stones, so if it's not you..."

"Show them!"

The two weren't intimidated, but the next second, their faces also turned pale.

"My cultivation resources, my essence stones, where are they?!"

"Damn it, my essence stones are gone too!"

"How... could it be that you all... wait, could it be that mine are also...?!"

Everyone was shocked!

They hurriedly checked their own possessions, only to find that everyone's cultivation resources had vanished without a trace.

"Who did this?!"

Chapter: The Missing Resources

In the outer disciple quarters of Spirit Mountain, a sudden commotion erupted, echoing far and wide, even reaching beyond the mountain peaks. After all, these were cultivators with powerful voices, a result of their robust cultivation.

The noise caught the attention of the outer disciples in the vicinity, including Tang Wu, who was meditating in his room.

"What's all the commotion over there?"

"Sounds like it's coming from the third peak on the outer side."

"They're all screaming. What's going on...?"

"I think I heard something about resources."

And just like that, the situation escalated.

Tang Wu, who had been sitting cross-legged on his bed, pretending to cultivate, stood up and checked his belongings. His face paled as he realized, "My cultivation resources are gone!"

"Who did this? Step forward right now!"

Tang Wu glared, his anger palpable. "Return them, or else! I won't let this go!"

"I'll tear your mouth apart if you dare speak nonsense before we figure out what happened!"

The room fell silent as the dorm leader, a first-stage Opening Mysterious Realm cultivator, stepped forward, his fury evident. "Why all the internal conflict?"

"My resources are missing too!"

"Everyone, check your belongings and see how much is missing."

"And you, Tang Wu! I remember your name."

"You, a newcomer, dare to be so arrogant? Accusing us without proof? I think you're the one talking nonsense! If you continue with these baseless accusations before we get to the bottom of this, I'll make you pay!" Tang Wu seethed.

"Enough shouting!" The dorm leader intervened.

"Tang Wu, are you okay?" The old man in Tang Wu's ring worriedly inquired.

Tang Wu's heart pounded, but he maintained his composure. "Don't worry, stepfather. I have no regrets."

"I said I'd do whatever it takes, even if it meant facing the heavens themselves, to ensure his stepfather obtained a physical body. No matter the methods, no matter the consequences, mere insults are nothing to me!"

The old man in the ring fell silent.

Tang Wu's body trembled, his jaw clenched so tightly that his teeth grated against each other. His fists, clenched in anger, had dug his nails into his palms, drawing blood that trickled down his hands.

"Lin Fan, congratulations!" Liu Xun arrived with gifts, his face beaming. "For many years, Moonseizing Sect has struggled, its Dao tradition on the brink of collapse. But under your leadership, Lin Fan, within a year, not only have you acquired a talent like Xiao Ling'er, but the number of disciples has skyrocketed!"

"At this rate, I believe Moonseizing Sect will become a second-rate sect within a few years!"

"That's truly a cause for celebration!"

"Liu Xun, you flatter me," Lin Fan modestly accepted the gift. "It's just a small matter, no need for you to come in person..."

"Lin Fan, you're too humble. This is no small feat!"

”

“Big deal!”

“A huge deal!”

Liu Xun couldn't help but boast again.

He had learned to be more clever now.

Although his father and the elders of the clan had all called him stupid, he never truly believed he was.

Now, he was 'elevating his essence', fully embodying the 'shameless' essence of his father, Liu Wanli.

As the saying goes, a thousand holes and ten thousand holes, but not a fart hole.

Anything is possible, but good words will never be in excess.

Liu Xun boasted again, making Lin Fan feel embarrassed.

Seeing the right moment, Liu Xun coughed and said, "I'm ashamed to say that there's actually another matter."

"Oh? Brother Liu, please speak freely."

Well, you say it's fine, but whether to accept it or not, I still need to hear it before deciding.

Lin Fan was meticulous in his actions.

However, for such an angel investor, as long as their requests weren't excessive or unreasonable, he could agree.

"I've brought several young members of my clan. They're all good seeds, four with Earth Rank talent and one with Heaven Rank!"

"Moreover, they're all blank slates, ready to be molded and trained as you wish."

"I hope that you, Brother Lin, and the Embracing Moon Sect, can accept these young ones as disciples. In the future, they can contribute to the sect."

"These are the gifts for the initiation..."

Liu Xun took out a storage bag and handed it to Lin Fan.

Lin Fan understood and casually took the storage bag, but he was displeased. "Brother Liu, you're too kind. It's our honor that the Liu family is willing to send their talented youth to our sect!"

"Why, there's no need for such initiation gifts?"

"You see, you're really..."

"No more of this next time!"

Liu Xun: "..."

"?"

No, you make it sound so good, why are you agreeing so quickly? If you don't want to accept them, give them back to me.

He couldn't help but laugh and cry, but he also found it interesting. Soon, he smiled and said, "Gifts are essential!"

"Then... from now on, I'll leave these young ones in your care."

"No problem, but Brother Liu."

"They didn't come through the 'Unified Admission Path'. If I make them direct disciples right away, I'm afraid many disciples won't accept it."

"So, let them endure some hardships for now, staying in the Outer Sect for some time. With their talent, I believe they'll soon break through to the Second Realm. At that time, I'll personally guide them into the Inner Sect, how about that?"

"Sure, no problem~"

Liu Xun expressed his understanding.

Actually, for major cultivation families, this is a standard procedure.

Sending talented clan members to major sects for cultivation has many benefits.

First, it provides additional insurance for the family.

If the clan's disciples do well in a sect, they can come back to support the family in times of need. Second, it saves the family's resources.

The sect will provide resources for cultivation, right? Even a third-rate sect is countless times better than cultivating within the clan.

For the cooperation between the Liu family and the Embracing Moon Sect, the most crucial reason is the third one.

It further binds them, or further invests in their relationship.

Apparently, the Liu family is quite bold.

The current strength of the Embracing Moon Sect is not that impressive. At least on the surface, it's not comparable to the Liu family, which has countless Fifth Realm cultivators. Even a single Sixth Realm cultivator could destroy the Embracing Moon Sect countless times. With such a gap in strength, the Liu family is willing to send their talented youth, which shows their boldness.

If not for Lin Fan's deep understanding of Liu Xun, he might even suspect that Liu Xun had ulterior motives. For example, what if these Liu family youths were Liu Wanli's illegitimate children, and he sent them here to avoid future conflicts over the family inheritance?

Hiss, what a dramatic soap opera.

"..."

"Follow me."

Tang Shenghou, the venerable elder, took charge and personally led the Liu family youths to the Outer Sect.

He appeared calm and composed, but his heart was stirred.

Heaven Rank and Earth Rank talents!

Starting from the Outer Sect...

No one would believe it if he told them! Even in the peak times of the Embracing Moon Sect, they didn't have such prestige, did they?

However, as they arrived, the five young boys and girls had sullen expressions.

They...

didn't want to come to the Embracing Moon Sect.

The Liu family is comparable to a second-rate cultivation clan! What is this third-rate Embracing Moon Sect? Cultivating within the clan is countless times better than coming here!

But the clan's orders must be obeyed.

They couldn't resist, so they could only follow and come.

But in their hearts, they were definitely unhappy, especially when they heard they would start in the Outer Sect.

What kind of place is the Outer Sect? It's not much better than a menial disciple's treatment!

In a daze, they arrived at their destination.

Tang Shenghou waved his hand, and the clouds dispersed. He smiled and said, "This is the Fifth Peak, the area for Outer Sect disciples. You can find empty Immortal Mansions to reside in, one per person. Meals and other necessities will be provided by the menial disciples."

He pointed, and streams of light flew into their hands.

They looked and saw it was a jade bottle.

"These are your cultivation resources for this month's allowance."

"As for cultivation techniques, Outer Sect disciples uniformly cultivate the Moon Devouring Spirit Art. After entering the Inner Sect, you can change it."

"These are your Dao Robes..."

After giving instructions, Tang Shenghou left with a smile, feeling great.

But these young boys and girls frowned, feeling depressed.

"Xin Yue, do we really have to stay here?"

Liu Xuelan's face was gloomy.

Liu Xin Yue sighed, "Xuelan, since we're here, let's make the best of it. At least the Embracing Moon Sect's environment is not bad, and the Outer Sect residences are not as dilapidated as we've heard about other sects."

"It's even a pleasant surprise that they allow us to live alone."

Liu Lingyun, Liu Qi, and Liu Tao nodded in agreement, "Indeed, this point is not bad."

"But this Moon Devouring Spirit Art doesn't seem like an exceptional cultivation technique."

Chapter: The Golden Elixir

"There's no other way. We must cultivate faster and strive to enter the Inner Gate as soon as possible! Now is the golden period for our cultivation, and we've been tempering our bodies and laying the foundation for our immortal journey."

"With our talents, it shouldn't take long to reach the Second Realm."

"That's not necessarily true," Liu Qi scoffed. "With sufficient resources, our talents would naturally progress faster. But the Moonseizing Sect is merely a third-rate sect; what resources could they possibly have?"

"Moreover, we're still Outer Gate disciples."

"Two or three dozen Essence Stones a month would already be quite impressive, right?"

As he spoke, Liu Qi opened the jade bottle, pouring its contents into his palm.

Why is this happening?

Those with similar talents and backgrounds as him were able to stay within the clan and enjoy such good treatment, yet with his exceptional talent, he had to come to the Moonseizing Sect and endure hardship?

Unfair!

But the next moment—

"Eh?!"

"Hiss!"

"Liu Qi, look!"

Several of his peers exclaimed in surprise.

Liu Qi was taken aback. "Look at what?"

"Pills, pills!!!"

"These aren't Essence Stones!"

"This...this is...?!"

"One, two, three...seven, seven rings, Seventh-Grade Pills???"

"Hiss!!!"

"Seven-Grade Opening Profound Pills?"

"It must be a mistake!"

"The Third Elder must have been too careless."

"These pills are like the lifeblood of the Moonseizing Sect. If we consume them, our days in the sect might not be so pleasant."

"Sigh, never mind. Let's put them back and find another Outer Gate disciple to ask. Then, we'll figure out a way to return the pills," Liu Xin Yue suggested with a bitter smile.

"..."

They were all tempted, their mouths watering, but after careful consideration, they decided to return the pills.

Not long after, they found an Outer Gate disciple who was out on an errand.

Lin Xiao was surprised. "You received the wrong cultivation resources?"

"It shouldn't be the case, right?"

"What did you receive? Could it be too inferior?"

Liu Xin Yue, the only one with Heaven-Endowed Talent among them, sighed. "Not at all, not at all, Lin Shixiong. It's not that they gave us something too inferior, but rather..."

"What is it?" Lin Xiao was even more puzzled. Could they have made such a mistake?

But Liu Xin Yue shook his head, a bitter smile on his face. "Seventh-Grade Opening Profound Pills."

Lin Xiao's eyes widened. "(O_O)???"

"They must have made a mistake, right? I thought so!"

"Who told you that it was a mistake?"

Liu Xin Yue, Liu Xuelan, Liu Qi, and the others: "????"

(ΩДΩ)?!

They gave us the wrong resources?!

Could it be that all the Outer Gate disciples received such resources?

The five of them exchanged glances, their pupils dilating in shock.

"Outer Gate disciples receiving five Seventh-Grade Opening Profound Pills each month?!"

"Indeed, is there something wrong with that?"

Lin Xiao was perplexed.

Could it be that all of them received such resources?

The five of them were dumbfounded.

What do you mean, is there something wrong with that?

Do you even understand the value of Seventh-Grade Pills?!

Lin Xiao found them strange, but at the same time, they also thought he was odd. He scratched his head and left.

Leaving the five of them in a state of confusion.

"The Moonseizing Sect...is this their might?"

"Is this the power of a third-rate sect?"

"If they can consistently provide such resources, these conditions are better than what we had within the clan!"

"Hiss!!!"

"Could it be that we didn't come here to suffer, but to enjoy?"

"With such resources, even a pig could take flight, right?"

In an instant, their resentment towards the sect vanished.

All that remained was pure joy!

"From now on, I am a disciple of the Moonseizing Sect!" Liu Xin Yue declared solemnly. "If anyone dares to speak ill of our sect, I'll tear their mouth apart!"

"Count me in!" Liu Xuelan followed suit.

"I'll beat the crap out of them!" Liu Tao added.

Do you even understand the value of a third-rate sect?!

···

"Fan Shixiong."

In the Scripture Repository, Qiu Yongqin bowed to Fan Jianqiang. "I've come to choose a cultivation technique."

"Go ahead, choose as you please."

Fan Jianqiang sized up Qiu Yongqin. "I've been informed that you've been granted the status of a Direct Disciple, but I'm curious..."

"What have you experienced?"

He was intrigued.

With Qiu Yongqin's talent, he should have been able to see through everything at a glance.

But now, something had happened, and there had to be a reason for it!

Qiu Yongqin, facing this major change, felt his spirits dampen.

Now that he had someone to talk to, he didn't want to waste time and slowly revealed his deep-seated grudges, but he kept the matter of the jade bottle hidden.

Fan Jianqiang listened intently, his eyes lighting up with surprise.

He thought to himself, "Is the wheel of fate starting to turn?"

"Is he becoming the new protagonist template?"

"A weak-to-strong protagonist?"

He didn't know about the jade bottle, but that didn't stop him from guessing.

Moreover, there was no need to guess.

If his Master didn't know about the jade bottle, who would?

Since his Master had granted Qiu Yongqin the status of a Direct Disciple, there was no need to guess.

"Interesting, very interesting!" Fan Jianqiang's interest piqued, and his eyes gleamed with a new idea.

Weak-to-strong protagonists aren't actually weak; they just get bullied a lot!

Let's protect him.

I can't bear to see him being bullied.

So, perhaps I can give it a try?
