178: The Golden Sword Gate Arrives

In the past two days, the handyman disciples and six outer sect disciples who joined the Immortal Crane Sect all felt that the Immortal Crane Sect was not as “high and mighty” or “viewing mortals as ants” as the “rumors” suggested about other immortal sects.

Instead, the Immortal Crane Sect was very considerate and caring towards them.

Food, including vegetables and meat, was provided 24 hours a day! Uninterrupted supply!

In addition to the care from the cooks, there was also an “immortal treasure” that could “preserve” the food from spoiling! And it could keep it warm. (Lin Zifeng spent a “fortune” of 300 source points to exchange for a large “kitchen” utensil.)

Coupled with their continuous consumption, basically none of this food would last for more than a day.

Not only that, but their money for this month had already been distributed to them! One tael of silver!

When the real silver arrived in their hands, they could hardly believe it. They had originally thought that with free food and lodging, and such good food, they would have accepted it if no money was given.

They never expected that they would actually receive money!

Lin Zifeng had already exchanged a large amount of gold and silver, specifically storing them in a warehouse protected by a simple formation. The distribution was first handled by Spiritual Crane Taoist, and later, these six outer sect disciples would take on many “immortal” tasks.

In the past two days, driven by everyone’s immense enthusiasm, the work progressed incredibly fast. Farmlands were reclaimed and sown, and breeding grounds were set up. Although there are no animals yet, people have already been dispatched to Peaceful Town to purchase them. Slowly raising them is not urgent.

And roads and such have all been built.

Everyone wished they could work 16 hours a day, each one more diligent than the last, all to repay the Immortal Crane Sect for providing them with such a good life. They were still very simple. Although it was also for the assessment, there was more than one supervisor; there were several handyman supervisors, given the amount of work, but this was just a side benefit. With better treatment, one should always strive for it.

At this moment, people from the Golden Saber Sect arrived. They did not enter rashly but actively triggered the “warning formation” set up at the boundary.

Lin Zifeng and Spiritual Crane Taoist “sat up in shock from their deathbeds.”

“Master!” The six disciples had just joined the sect, but they could also sense the formation being triggered, so they quickly ran over.

After all, mortals would not trigger it; only “immortals” would.

After they “entered the sect,” naturally, the first thing was to have “permissions” for the various formations of the sect, otherwise, they would trigger a “warning” every two steps.

“They’re here! It should be the people from the Golden Saber Sect!” Lin Zifeng’s eyes lit up. He had waited so long, and they finally arrived!

“You all continue, don’t worry about it,” Spiritual Crane Taoist told the six disciples.

“Yes!” Seeing their master say so, the six disciples nodded, knowing that this matter was not their concern and was not some “disaster,” so they continued their cultivation.

“Master, I’ll call my friends over now!” Lin Zifeng’s eyes lit up.

After Lin Zifeng finished speaking, he immediately called out in the group chat.

“Coming!”

Yi Xin, Bai Mo, and Ran Quan all had time, and upon seeing Lin Zifeng’s message, they immediately replied.

Immediately after, they all received a system notification: “[Cross-World Group member Lin Zifeng has sent you a ‘request for assistance,’ which will pay: 95.6w (9.85w) (1000) source points / 1 hour. Do you agree?]”

This fee was the lowest. Of course, the person requesting assistance could raise it, with no upper limit, but could not lower it.

Yi Xin and the others received their “quotes” and agreed without the slightest hesitation.

Swish! The next moment, their three figures appeared beside Lin Zifeng.

“So this is your world, Lin Zifeng! Not bad, not bad! This spiritual energy concentration... worthy of a level 4 world!” Yi Xin felt the conditions of Lin Zifeng’s world and sighed. Indeed, a level 3 world and a level 4 world are different; just the “foundation” has a huge gap.

Bai Mo, on the other hand, felt that the “spiritual particles” were so dense! Cultivating here would probably be more than ten times faster than in his own world, right?

Of course, Lin Zifeng definitely didn’t have the money to “hire” him to cultivate here like this...

The daily cost would be considerable!

Ran Quan, however, didn’t feel much, as he was on the “tech side,” plus his strength was really too low...

“This is my master.” Lin Zifeng introduced Spiritual Crane Taoist to Yi Xin and the other two: “Master, I’ll leave this to you! I’ve already explained the situation; they are now elders of our Immortal Crane Sect! I’ll go and escort the people from the Golden Saber Sect in first!”

“Mhm, mhm! You go ahead, I’ll entertain your friends!” Spiritual Crane Taoist smiled and nodded.

“Cough cough, I’m just an ordinary outer sect disciple!” Ran Quan said proactively. This was something they had all agreed upon. There was no helping it; Ran Quan’s strength was indeed too poor...

“Hahaha! It’s fine, it’s fine, you’re all Zifeng’s friends! Come, have a seat first,” Spiritual Crane Taoist said with a smile, motioning for everyone to sit down, then pouring tea.

Lin Zifeng quickly headed towards the boundary.

After leaving the mountain range, he saw five people dressed in Golden Saber Sect attire standing there waiting at the boundary from afar.

“They’re here!” The people from the Golden Saber Sect saw Lin Zifeng approaching, and they straightened their bodies slightly. After all, they needed to display the demeanor of the Golden Saber Sect. Regardless of anything else, their posture had to be perfect! And they couldn’t fall behind!

“Welcome, fellow immortal friends from the Golden Saber Sect, to our Immortal Crane Sect!” Lin Zifeng performed the movement technique of the Spirit Crane Fist, flashing and stopping in front of them.

He subtly “showed off a bit.”

The people from the Golden Saber Sect saw Lin Zifeng’s movement technique, and their pupils subtly contracted slightly.

What a powerful movement technique!

The upgraded Spirit Crane Fist was more advanced than the Golden Saber Sect’s “movement technique,” and Lin Zifeng’s cultivation had reached the “masterful” level.

“Sorry to bother you!” The people from the Golden Saber Sect also put away some of their “arrogant” attitude. It wasn’t exactly respectful, but it was a somewhat flattering response.

“No problem! Come on! I’ll take you on a tour inside the sect!” Lin Zifeng said with a smile, leading the five from the Golden Saber Sect slowly towards the immortal sect.

And along the way, he began to introduce to them: “Our Immortal Crane Sect is a reclusive sect. This outer area is considered our external point. The sect is inside the Immortal Spirit Mountain Range, but it’s not convenient to take you there!

But rest assured, all external matters are handled by this outpost of ours, and it also has the authority to make decisions!”

Lin Zifeng began to recite the speech he had “planned” earlier.

“So that’s how it is!” The five from the Golden Saber Sect exchanged glances. Although they found it a bit strange, if another sect chose to do this, there was nothing they could say, as it was the other sect’s business.

The people from the Golden Saber Sect followed Lin Zifeng all the way into the outer reaches of the Immortal Spirit Mountain Range, and the first mountain was Immortal Crane Mountain.

At the foot of the mountain, they saw the area for the handyman disciples.

It was very large, with living quarters, a kitchen, cultivated farmlands in the distance, etc... There were also several wellheads, and several rivers in the distance... It looked as if it had been “managed” for quite some time, not like a “temporary” setup.

Moreover, with so many handyman disciples, the scale was not small.
