2: Chapter 2

The sect construction card is very easy to understand; it's a Sect building.

The card Chen Xuan held depicted a Sect Main Hall, and using it could summon a magnificent building.

Bang~

The dull thud interrupted Chen Xuan's thoughts.

He turned his head and saw Mu Wanqing searching for planks among the discarded firewood nearby.

"What are you doing?"

Mu Wanqing said with an expression of resignation, "Looking for planks to make a bed. Since I took such a simple Revered Master, I suppose I have to follow the local customs."

The little girl still held some resentment!

Chen Xuan could understand. After all, she went from being a well-off Young Miss who never worried about food or drink to sleeping in a dilapidated Daoist Temple. To say she held no resentment would mean she was a moral Saint.

"Sigh, forget it! I originally intended to test your state of mind, but you're too worldly. Your Revered Master will now let you see our Sect's Main Hall," Chen Xuan said calmly, feigning profoundness.

Hearing this, Mu Wanqing's apricot eyes lit up, and she fiercely turned to stare at Chen Xuan. Then she scoffed, saying:

"Revered Master, stop trying to trick me. I've already joined your Sect, and from now on, I am a Disciple of the Dao Seeking Sect."

Chen Xuan: "???"

Is my reputation already established?

"This time, your Revered Master really isn't trying to trick you."

"Revered Master, you said the same thing last time when you made me treat you to a meal at the Drunken Moon Tower."

Mu Wanqing exposed him without hesitation.

If she hadn't seen him summon fire out of thin air and possess an extraordinary Aura, she would have suspected her Revered Master was a Jianghu swindler.

Chen Xuan thought, what can I do?

I am just a Mortal. If I didn't know a little chemistry, I wouldn't even be able to trick a Disciple.

"If I don't show you a couple of tricks, your Revered Master will truly be looked down upon by you."

Chen Xuan stood up and walked toward the Daoist Temple gate.

Mu Wanqing hesitated for a moment, then chose to put down the planks and follow him. It looked like Revered Master was serious this time; I should be mindful of his Face when I speak later.

Chen Xuan looked around at the scenery, and ultimately decided to build the Sect Main Hall right on top of the Daoist Temple—after all, it was a familiar place where he had lived for several months!

"Revered Master, you..."

Before Mu Wanqing could finish her sentence, she witnessed a scene she would never forget in her life.

She watched as the man beside her slowly raised a hand, and in front of them, a magnificent hall, like an Immortal Palace, rose from the ground. It seemed as if this great hall had existed there since ancient times, making people feel as if they had arrived in the Immortal Realm.

Chen Xuan hadn't expected this damned System to be so effective this time.

The hall was the size of a stadium, not only grand and magnificent but also ancient and solemn, giving it a high-class feel.

Behind it was a series of residences for Disciples.

As expected of the "Strongest Sect System!"

Looking at the stunned young girl beside him, Chen Xuan asked lightly, "You what? Are you satisfied with this Sect's Main Hall?"

Mu Wanqing's eyes sparkled, and the look she gave Chen Xuan was full of adoration.

"Revered Master, you were serious?"

"Since you have this ability, why were you living in that dilapidated Daoist Temple before?"

Chen Xuan smiled calmly, "As the saying goes, it is easy to transition from frugality to extravagance, but difficult to go from extravagance to frugality. Your Revered Master was merely tempering his state of mind."

"Now that I've taken in an Eldest Disciple like you, it was just living in a dilapidated Daoist Temple for a while; look how wronged you feel."

Mu Wanqing lowered her head, feeling a little embarrassed, and tugged on Chen Xuan's arm, explaining, "Revered Master, I just stepped onto the Path of Cultivation and haven't gotten used to it yet."

"Revered Master is truly amazing. I couldn't learn this mindset even after a hundred years."

She forced a sweet smile, trying to flatter him to get by. The Tear Mole beneath her eye made her look lively and adorable.

Chen Xuan thought to himself, I had no choice. Who would willingly suffer when they didn't have to?

Thankfully, the hardest two and a half years have passed.

The Revered Master and Disciple entered the great hall. Chen Xuan took out the God-tier Cultivation Technique, the "Supreme Yin Water Heart Art," from the System space and handed it to Mu Wanqing.

"This is the Cultivation Technique your Revered Master chose for you. Go down and cultivate diligently; do not slack off."

Mu Wanqing reached out and accepted the yellowed book. It looked very old, likely older than her ancestors eighteen generations ago.

Revered Master truly is an Unparalleled Expert!

She straightened up, bowed, and saluted, "Thank you, Revered Master. This Disciple will definitely cultivate diligently and live up to Revered Master's expectations."

After this incident, Mu Wanqing understood a principle: only by having powerful strength can one determine one's own fate.

Fortunately, she met Revered Master and was saved this time. If her luck had been worse, she would have truly ended up bowing to that Rotten Old Man of the Yin Yang Sect.

That would have been worse than death!

Mu Wanqing, having received her Cultivation Textbook, bid farewell and left, planning to cultivate all night long.

Chen Xuan nodded, feeling very pleased with his Eldest Disciple's drive... The next day!

Ding~

[Congratulations Host: Eldest Disciple Mu Wanqing has achieved a Breakthrough to Qi Refining First Level. Reward: sect prestige points * 10]

A notification sound woke Chen Xuan from his dream.

Hmm?

Qi Refining, Foundation Establishment, and every Realm thereafter have nine levels. It is said that the Hegemon-level Forces in the Eastern Region have Prodigies in their Sects who break through to Qi Refining First Level in two months.

That girl broke through to Qi Refining First Level so quickly?

It hasn't even been a full day!

Good heavens, as expected of the Supreme Yin Spiritual Body, as expected of the High-grade Water Spiritual Root, and as expected of the heaven-sent genius favored by the System.

"sect prestige points? What is this for?"

Chen Xuan muttered to himself, then immediately started looking through the System Panel, intending to study it.

He couldn't find a way to use the sect prestige points anywhere from the Attribute Panel to the System Introduction. He had no choice but to shift his gaze to the Mall on the side.

He opened the Mall and saw a dazzling array of shops listed there.

Categories were also well-organized.

Cultivation Techniques, Divine Abilities, Magical Artifacts, Lottery, cultivation base, Medicinal Pills... Hmm? cultivation base?

Chen Xuan clicked on the cultivation base category and saw Golden Core Second Level Realm, 50 sect prestige points; Golden Core Third Level Realm requires 100 sect prestige points; Nascent Soul First Level Realm requires 3000 Prestige Value; Undergoing Tribulation Perfection Realm... Holy moly, so many zeros.

So, sect prestige points allows me to purchase cultivation base to raise my Realm, and Disciples achieving a Breakthrough grant sect prestige points.

In that case, I need to continue taking in Disciples.

"As long as the Disciples keep competing intensely in cultivation, I can exchange for Soul Transformation cultivation base this year and buy Void Refining cultivation base next year."

Chen Xuan continued to study the System while muttering to himself.

His gaze was drawn to the two words: Lottery.

He looked at the description: 10 sect prestige points per draw, random rewards, and failed draws accumulate Luck Value.

Hmm, cultivation should be done honestly; steady flow is the right path.

But as the saying goes, All-in is a kind of wisdom.

After hesitating for three seconds, Chen Xuan still chose to try the Lottery.

[Congratulations Host: Consumed 10 sect prestige points to obtain the Samsara Heavenly Dao Eye.]

[Samsara Heavenly Dao Eye: Allows you to clearly see anyone's cultivation Spiritual Root and special Physique.]

Holy moly... is the Drop Rate that high? I Got a Reward on the very first draw.

If he hadn't run out of Prestige Value, Chen Xuan would definitely have done a Ten-pull right away.

Sure enough, All-in is a kind of wisdom.

With this Samsara Heavenly Dao Eye, taking in Disciples in the future will become much easier.

Chen Xuan thought for a moment, then called for his Eldest Disciple, Mu Wanqing.

"Revered Master, Revered Master! I have great news that you absolutely won't be able to guess." Mu Wanqing excitedly ran into the great hall.

Chen Xuan said calmly, "What great news? Isn't it just that you broke through to Qi Refining First Level?"

Don't you know that the person in front of you is a heaven-sent genius who can Reach Golden Core in One Day?
