371: Explanation

Just then, several Utility Disciples approached from a distance. Seeing Ji Wuchang and the other two, they hastily cupped their fists in greeting!

Among them, a woman who appeared to be in her twenties spoke up: "Senior Brother, the Peak Revered Master just instructed that once you have chosen your living quarters, we are responsible for cleaning them!"

"May I ask if Senior Brother has made a selection? We will go and clean immediately!"

Ji Wuchang was slightly taken aback, then pointed to the place he had chosen. The group nodded quickly and turned to leave, their attitude exceptionally respectful.

Only then did Ji Wuchang truly feel that even in the cultivation world, there were distinct Ranks.

Back when he was at the Changsheng Sect, although he had felt this, it wasn't very intense.

But this feeling became clearly palpable upon arriving at the Heavenly Star Sect.

Utility Disciples, Outer Sect Disciples, Inner Sect Disciples, and so on, all had their own specific attire.

He wasn't overly pretentious about it; after all, some things required gradual adaptation.

Ji Wuchang looked into the distant Void Realm. For some reason, he just had a feeling that he was being watched.

However, when his Divine Soul swept the surroundings, he found nothing!

He chatted briefly with Jiang Qiye and Rongcheng Yiyun. Seeing the way Jiang Qiye looked at Rongcheng Yiyun, he couldn't help but sigh.

It would certainly not be an easy task for Jiang Qiye to win over Rongcheng Yiyun.

"The three of you, come to your Revered Master's place!"

Just then, a voice entered their ears. The three nodded quickly and hurried toward the central house.

Soon, they arrived in front of the building. There was a plaque on the house that read: Heavenly Star Pavilion!

The three stepped quickly into the main hall, where Zhou Haotian sat cross-legged on a prayer mat!

"Greetings, Revered Master!"

The three cupped their fists in greeting simultaneously!

Zhou Haotian nodded, then pointed to several prayer mats nearby, signaling for the three to sit.

After they were seated, Zhou Haotian spoke slowly: "Today is your first day at the Heavenly Star Sect. There are some things I need to tell you in advance!"

"I originally had no intention of taking on Disciples, but since I share a fate with the three of you, I've made an exception!"

"Other peaks generally have over a thousand Disciples, and with utility staff, they can number several thousand. Our Heavenly Star Peak has relatively few people."

"Besides the four of us, Heavenly Star Peak has three hundred and sixty-seven Utility Disciples."

"Besides being responsible for the daily maintenance of the Herb Fields and the cleanliness of Heavenly Star Peak, they also include the Kitchen and the Alchemy Room!"

"Originally, I left these matters to a few Utility Disciples to manage, but now that I've taken you as Disciples, these responsibilities naturally fall on your shoulders."

"As the Eldest Senior Brother, Ji Wuchang, you will have to work a bit harder. The Herb Fields of Heavenly Star Peak are entrusted to your management!"

"Jiang Qiye will be responsible for managing sanitation and the Library, while Yiyun will handle the Kitchen, Alchemy Room, and such!"

"In a moment, I will have the original Deacons come find you. As for how you use them, that is your business!"

After saying this, Zhou Haotian let out a long sigh of relief. Clearly, he didn't like these chores either!

The Faces of the three fell. Ji Wuchang, in particular, was quite depressed; Heavenly Star Peak had many Herb Fields, and there were over a hundred people just tending to them.

But they couldn't refuse such things and could only agree!

Zhou Haotian ignored their expressions and continued: "Heavenly Star Peak is the primary peak of the Heavenly Star Sect, second only to the main peak!"

"It was fine when I hadn't taken Disciples, but now that I've taken the three of you, other peaks will surely come to challenge us."

"I have only one requirement: whoever dares to come and challenge, you are to beat them all back. You must not lose Face for Heavenly Star Peak!"

"Of course, Yiyun's cultivation is currently low, so this matter primarily falls on Wuchang and Qiye!"

"Especially you, Qiye. Your Realm is far above theirs. If anyone challenges us, you will inevitably be at the forefront!"

As Zhou Haotian's voice fell, Jiang Qiye's Face instantly collapsed. Was this praise or irony?

He spoke of the highest Realm, not the strongest power, making Jiang Qiye feel a sense of helplessness in his heart!

When Ji Wuchang was at the fourth level of the Soul Splitting Realm, Jiang Qiye couldn't beat him; now that the man was at the sixth level of the Soul Splitting Realm, he was even less of a match.

But now that his Revered Master had put it this way, what could he do? He could only brace himself and say: "Rest assured, Revered Master, I will not lose Face for Heavenly Star Peak!"

Zhou Haotian nodded, and then his expression instantly became serious!

"The Heavenly Star Sect is different from other Sects. It is not just a Sect, but also a place where various forces compete."

"Do not easily believe anyone's words. If there's anything you're unsure of, ask me in time!"

"In three days, I will hold a Disciple-taking ceremony on Heavenly Star Peak. At that time, various Peak Revered Masters will surely attend."

"If I'm not mistaken, they will also bring Disciples to challenge you. This will be your first time showing yourselves on Heavenly Star Peak!"

"I have only one requirement: victory is mandatory, defeat is not an option. Knock them all down!"

After Zhou Haotian finished speaking, he stared at the three with piercing eyes. Seeing Ji Wuchang and Jiang Qiye nod, he finally felt relieved!

Afterward, Zhou Haotian explained many more things about the Heavenly Star Sect and even gave a brief introduction to each Peak Revered Master.

After the three left, they looked at each other and shook their heads with bitter smiles.

"Eldest Senior Brother, if I can't win, you have to help me!"

Jiang Qiye spoke; he truly had no confidence.

Although the Peak Revered Masters, for the sake of Face, would certainly not arrange for people of high Realms to fight, those they brought along would definitely be individuals with terrifying combat power.

Jiang Qiye had already been demoralized by Ji Wuchang once; he knew very well that there was still a huge gap between him and those true Geniuses!

Ji Wuchang nodded slightly. He didn't mind; a fight would be a good way to stabilize his current Realm before working on a Breakthrough.

When he returned to his living quarters, several women had already cleaned his room until it was spotless.

Just then, a woman walked over slowly. She looked to be in her thirties and possessed a cultivation at the third level of the Purple Mansion Realm.

Seeing Ji Wuchang, she hastily cupped her fists: "Ge Fang greets the Eldest Senior Brother!"

Ji Wuchang was startled, wondering why this Ge Fang was looking for him. Just then, the people who had just cleaned his room hurriedly bowed to Ge Fang.

"Greetings, Deacon Ge!"

Ge Fang nodded, her expression calm.

Ji Wuchang understood instantly; Ge Fang was the Deacon of Heavenly Star Peak's Herb Garden.

"Deacon Ge, Revered Master said that I will be managing the Herb Fields from now on."

"Since I've just arrived at Heavenly Star Peak and don't know much about the Herb Fields, let's keep things as they are for now. Deacon Ge, please continue your hard work!"

"I will go to the Herb Garden to take a look in a few days. At that time, Deacon Ge can come along!"

Hearing this, Ge Fang couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. She was truly afraid this Eldest Senior Brother would reassign her as soon as he arrived.
