6: It feels good to pretend to be cool, and it feels good all the time if you keep pretending.
Jiang Xiaobai was stunned after hearing the System's words, then became excited.
"Turning the Qingyun Sect into the Strongest Sect? The Tianxuan World has countless powerful Cultivators, and there's always a higher mountain and a greater sky. This mission won't be easy to complete."
"Fortunately, this main mission has no time limit." Jiang Xiaobai's gaze once again surveyed the entire Qingyun Sect, its dilapidated state making his eyes narrow slightly.
"As for the side missions..." Jiang Xiaobai quirked a smile, his gaze falling upon Xiao Man and the other two who were still in shock, especially when he saw Fuman Restaurant, his smile grew wider.
"Jiang Xiaobai, what do you mean by looking at me and smiling like that?" Fuman Restaurant noticed Jiang Xiaobai staring at it with a crooked, evil smile, which made this ancient Vicious Beast feel a bit uneasy.
"You all believe now that I am Revered Master's newly accepted Disciple, right?" Jiang Xiaobai quietly looked at Xiao Man and the other two.
"Alas, even if it's true, what then? The Sect Master Sealed the Qingyun Sect before he left, and Guo Guo can't go out." Guo Guo's words startled Jiang Xiaobai.
"The Qingyun Sect is Sealed? What's going on?" Jiang Xiaobai was clearly a bit slow to react. If the Qingyun Sect was Sealed, how did he enter it?
"That's right, the Qingyun Sect is indeed Sealed, otherwise why would it be so dilapidated?"
"Isn't that Old Thing just afraid of me going out and harming the Tianxuan World? Is it necessary to Seal the Qingyun Sect?" Fuman Restaurant was very displeased.
Hearing this, Jiang Xiaobai's mind raced. A moment later, he suddenly thought of something, and the corners of his mouth curved upward as he said,
"Actually, Revered Master, that Old Thing, asked me to come back because he entrusted me with a very important task." Jiang Xiaobai pretended to be profound again, which surprised Xiao Man and the other two.
"What did that Old Thing ask you to come back for?!" Fuman Restaurant asked, voicing their inner confusion.
Seeing this, Jiang Xiaobai suddenly looked up, his eyes narrowing slightly, and his tone became deep:
"This is a heavenly secret. Revered Master, that Old Thing, calculated that in the near future, a world-ending crisis will appear in the Tianxuan World."
"World-ending crisis?"
Hearing this term, Xiao Man and the other two looked utterly bewildered.
"That's right, a world-ending crisis! Revered Master, that Old Thing, said that in the near future, the Tianxuan World will encounter a once-in-a-million-years world-ending crisis."
"At that time, the entire Tianxuan World will probably... Alas! Revered Master, that Old Thing, truly has a benevolent heart, always thinking of all living beings."
Fuman Restaurant and Guo Guo had lived for an unknown number of years, and Xiao Man was also over a thousand years old. They clearly didn't quite believe Jiang Xiaobai's talk of a world-ending crisis.
"I've lived for an unknown number of years, and I've never encountered any world-ending crisis."
"Hmph! Fuman Restaurant, just because you haven't encountered it doesn't mean it won't happen in the future. Are you stronger than Revered Master? Can you predict the future or something?!"
Hearing Jiang Xiaobai's words, Fuman Restaurant's expression trembled, and then it fell silent.
"Revered Master, that Old Thing, in order to deal with the future world-ending crisis, asked me to return and establish a Sect to recruit Disciples."
"Establish a Sect to recruit Disciples?"
Xiao Man and the other two were surprised again.
"That's right, establish a Sect to recruit Disciples. Revered Master, that Old Thing, wants to build the Strongest Sect!"
"Strongest Sect?"
Jiang Xiaobai nodded, his gaze sweeping over Xiao Man and the other two, and he said again,
"Revered Master, that Old Thing, wants you all to cooperate with me and help me."
"How can we cooperate with you? We can't leave the Qingyun Sect even half a step."
"Exactly, Guo Guo can't even go to the nearby city to look at girls' underwear. Guo Guo is so lonely."
"Jiang Xiaobai, tell us, how do you want us to cooperate with you?" Xiao Man had clearly completely believed Jiang Xiaobai's words.
Jiang Xiaobai heard this, his eyes narrowed slightly, he remained silent for a long time, then said,
"Establishing a Sect and recruiting Disciples requires a large amount of resources, especially Spirit Stones. The Qingyun Sect has existed for a hundred thousand years, so there should still be many resources, right?" As Jiang Xiaobai spoke, his gaze was fixed on Guo Guo.
And Guo Guo, after hearing this, began to tiptoe backward.
"Guo Guo, Revered Master personally told me that all the treasures of the Qingyun Sect are with you!"
"What? Junior Brother Jiang Xiaobai, you also like underwear? Guo Guo has truly met a kindred spirit today." As Guo Guo spoke, he took out several pink pairs of underwear and was about to hand them to Jiang Xiaobai when Xiao Man suddenly cursed angrily,
"Aren't these my lost underwear?! Guo Guo!!!!" Xiao Man's face was full of anger, staring intently at Guo Guo.
"Oh dear, Xiao Man, Guo Guo found these in the backyard. Guo Guo was just about to return them to Xiao Man."
Xiao Man's face was gloomy, and her eyes, fixed on Guo Guo, were filled with Killing Intent.
"Alright, Guo Guo, quickly hand over all the Spirit Stones of the Qingyun Sect to me. This is what Revered Master, that Old Thing, instructed. Are you trying to defy Revered Master?!"
Jiang Xiaobai pretended to scold him.
Guo Guo, hearing this, shrank his neck and reluctantly took out a spatial ring, handing it to Jiang Xiaobai.
"Now the Qingyun Sect only has this many Spirit Stones left, one million Top-Grade Spirit Stones."
One million Top-Grade Spirit Stones? Jiang Xiaobai's throat kept bobbing.
One million Top-Grade Spirit Stones! The Spirit Stones in the Tianxuan World are divided into Low Grade, Medium Grade, High Grade, and Top-Grade.
Top-Grade Spirit Stones are the most expensive and best Spirit Stones in the Tianxuan World. Jiang Xiaobai had Transmigrated to the Tianxuan World for ten years and had only seen one Low Grade Spirit Stone, and that was when he saw other Cultivators using it for shopping.
Jiang Xiaobai's breathing was rapid, and his hands trembled slightly as he took the spatial ring from Guo Guo.
Guo Guo saw Jiang Xiaobai's appearance and thought he was very angry, so he lowered his head and said meekly,
"Before, the Qingyun Sect did have tens of billions of Top-Grade Spirit Stones, but over the past thousand years, Guo Guo really had nothing else to eat and couldn't leave the Qingyun Sect, so... I ate them."
"What?! Tens of billions of Top-Grade Spirit Stones, all eaten by you?" Jiang Xiaobai's face was completely bewildered, and his mouth twitched non-stop.
Tens of billions of Top-Grade Spirit Stones! Holy crap!
"Jiang Xiaobai, the Qingyun Sect is Sealed, how can you establish a Sect and recruit Disciples?" Xiao Man looked at Jiang Xiaobai with a puzzled expression and asked.
Jiang Xiaobai was also very confused, so he asked the System,
"System, the Qingyun Sect is Sealed, how can I recruit Disciples?"
"Ding, Host, the Qingyun Sect is enveloped by a powerful Law Power, but this Law Power is only directed at Fuman Restaurant and the other two."
"Other people can enter the Qingyun Sect at will, otherwise how could Fuman Restaurant have eaten so many people."
Hearing this, Jiang Xiaobai finally understood.
"So that's how it is. The Sect Master of the Qingyun Sect was probably afraid that these three guys would go out and harm the Tianxuan World."
"You know, these three guys are all at the Great Emperor Realm Peak. If just one of them went out, wouldn't they turn the Tianxuan World upside down?"
Jiang Xiaobai looked at Xiao Man and the other two, and after a long period of contemplation, he looked up at the sky and pretended to be profound again:
"Revered Master, that Old Thing, has already told me the method to remove the Seal!"
"Really?!"
Xiao Man and the other two looked excited, staring at Jiang Xiaobai and speaking in unison.
"It's true. Do you three want to leave the Qingyun Sect?"
