7: Chapter 7 Qingyun Atlas
Hearing Jiang Xiaobai say he could leave, Xiao Man and the other two were overjoyed.
"Jiang Xiaobai, are you telling the truth?"
"Of course, it couldn't be more true," Jiang Xiaobai said with a grin.
"Guo Guo doesn't think he looks like a good person when he smiles. When will the Sect Master return?"
Jiang Xiaobai's face was full of question marks. He didn't look like a good person when he smiled?
Immediately, he said, "Well... Revered Master said that when we make the Qingyun Sect presentable, he will naturally return."
"Then quickly open the Seal and let us out, I want to feast!" Fuman Restaurant was a bit impatient, drooling non-stop.
"Not now. Revered Master said that I can only unseal you all after I build the Qingyun Sect into a super powerful force."
Xiao Man and the other two looked gloomy upon hearing this. Seeing their expressions, Jiang Xiaobai spoke again:
"You've all been sealed for so long, do you still care about this short amount of time? Don't worry, in less than three years, the Qingyun Sect will definitely become a major Sect within tens of thousands of miles."
"Jiang Xiaobai, even if we wanted to help you, we can't. We can't leave the Qingyun Sect." Xiao Man's words made Jiang Xiaobai fall into thought.
"It's fine. Since Revered Master and Senior Brother aren't here, you just need to hold down the fort."
"Hold down the fort? What does that mean?"
"It means guarding the Sect in the Qingyun Sect. If anyone else tries to bully the Qingyun Sect, you can step in and teach them a lesson."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Man and the other two nodded.
"That's quite easy. No one has come to the Qingyun Sect for a very, very long time."
"Junior Brother, hurry down the mountain to recruit Disciples. The more, the better. It would be best to recruit more female Disciples." Guo Guo's eyes sparkled as he poked his short hands.
Xiao Man's face darkened upon hearing this.
"Alright, no time to lose, I'm heading down the mountain now!" Jiang Xiaobai finished speaking and immediately turned to leave!
Watching Jiang Xiaobai's quickly departing figure, Fuman Restaurant and the other two fell into thought:
"Could Jiang Xiaobai be tricking us? Look at how eager he is to leave. I always feel like that kid is a bit sly." Fuman Restaurant said, staring at the departing Jiang Xiaobai.
"Probably not. Who do you think, besides the Sect Master and those few, knows about our situation?"
"Guo Guo thinks Xiao Man is right. Jiang Xiaobai must be the Sect Master's illegitimate son."
"Guo Guo, don't talk nonsense. That Old Thing couldn't possibly have offspring." Fuman Restaurant immediately denied Guo Guo's guess.
At this moment, after Jiang Xiaobai walked down the ten thousand steps of the Qingyun Sect, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief:
"Oh my god, it's a good thing those three Old Things chose to believe me. These three guys are all at the Great Emperor Realm Peak. If they just blew a breath at me, I'd be dead for sure."
Thinking about it now, Jiang Xiaobai still felt lingering fear.
"System, can I change the main quest and side quests?"
"Ding, Host, once a task is issued, it cannot be replaced."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Xiaobai took a deep breath, then looked at the entire Qingyun Sect and said again:
"Never mind that. Let's go to Qingyun City, a hundred miles away, first."
After speaking, Jiang Xiaobai immediately got up and left the spot.
Qingyun City
It is the largest city within a radius of several thousand miles, covering an area of five thousand square kilometers, with a huge population.
At the huge city gate, people came and went. At this moment, Jiang Xiaobai stood not far from the city gate.
"So lively."
Jiang Xiaobai stood in place, muttering to himself for a moment, then immediately started walking towards the city. However, just as he started, his shoulder was suddenly patted a few times, and a greasy voice sounded behind him:
"Oh my, brother, you look so familiar."
Jiang Xiaobai's eyes narrowed slightly, and he immediately turned around. AFat Man of similar age to him appeared in his line of sight:
"Who are you?"
"Hehe, brother, my name is Wang Dadan." Wang Dadan said with a grin, his big golden tooth flashing and almost blinding Jiang Xiaobai.
"Wang Dadan?"
"Yes, yes, yes, my name is Wang Dadan."
"What is it?" Jiang Xiaobai asked, looking at Wang Dadan warily.
"Brother, do you need to buy..."
"Not interested." Wang Dadan's words were only half-spoken when Jiang Xiaobai immediately refused.
Jiang Xiaobai started to leave, but Wang Dadan stopped him again and said:
"Brother, don't rush. I'm not selling you anything."
"Then what do you mean?"
Upon hearing this, Wang Dadan's two small eyes darted around a few times, then he leaned into Jiang Xiaobai's ear and whispered:
"Brother, I have excellent Spirit Medicine. Taking it will immediately allow you to Cultivate successfully."
Jiang Xiaobai's eyes narrowed upon hearing this, and he stared at Wang Dadan, saying:
"Are you lying to me?"
"No, no, I really have Spirit Medicine, only one hundred Low-Grade Spirit Stones."
Jiang Xiaobai didn't speak this time. After a long period of thought, he asked the System in his mind:
"System, check Wang Dadan's information."
"Ding, Host, Wang Dadan's detailed information has been found."
Character: Wang Dadan
Age: Eighteen
Strength: Qi Refining Realm, Eighth Stage
Spiritual Root: Medium Grade Spiritual Root
Personality: Greedy, upright and righteous, somewhat selfish
Background: None for now, orphan, has a great family vendetta
Weakness: Greed
Jiang Xiaobai looked at Wang Dadan's information, his eyes narrowed, and he asked:
"System, are you mistaken? This guy is also upright and righteous!?"
"Ding, Host, the System will never make a mistake."
Jiang Xiaobai was stunned upon hearing this, then carefully scrutinized Wang Dadan.
"Hehe, how about it, brother? For just one hundred Low-Grade Spirit Stones, you can fulfill your Cultivation dream."
Jiang Xiaobai, upon hearing this, suddenly smiled and said:
"Fatty, you have a great family vendetta. Are you interested in joining a major Sect?"
Hearing Jiang Xiaobai's words, the previously grinning Wang Dadan's plump body trembled, and his eyes immediately fixated on Jiang Xiaobai:
"How do you know I have a great family vendetta!?"
Jiang Xiaobai, upon hearing this, grinned and said:
"Because I am very strong!"
Wang Dadan fell silent. After a long while, he asked:
"How are you strong? You don't have any Cultivation. And my Spiritual Root is only a Medium Grade Spiritual Root, would a major Sect accept me?"
"Of course, as long as you are willing, nothing is impossible."
"Which major Sect?" Wang Dadan was very excited, clearly already tempted.
Jiang Xiaobai looked up at the sky, then took out a scroll emitting a mysterious light, handed it to Wang Dadan, and said pretentiously:
"Sign your name on this Azure Cloud Illustrated Book and drip a drop of blood on it, and you'll know that what I say is true."
Wang Dadan was stunned upon hearing this, immediately took the Azure Cloud Illustrated Book, and then examined it carefully.
"What is this? It feels so good to the touch, and it emits a mysterious light." Wang Dadan asked with a face full of curiosity.
Jiang Xiaobai naturally wouldn't tell him that this was a System product, the Azure Cloud Illustrated Book. Anyone, Yao Beast, etc., who joins the Qingyun Sect, as long as they sign their name on the Azure Cloud Illustrated Book, will forever be loyal to Jiang Xiaobai and never betray him.
"This is... an ultimate treasure of heaven and earth, containing powerful energy. Wang Dadan, I'll give you fifteen minutes to think, do you want to join a major Sect?"
Wang Dadan fell silent again upon hearing this. After a moment, he stared at Jiang Xiaobai and asked:
"Can I really join a major Sect?"
Jiang Xiaobai nodded, then took out a Top-Grade Spirit Stone and handed it to Wang Dadan:
"Take this Top-Grade Spirit Stone first. If I'm lying to you, you don't have to return this Top-Grade Spirit Stone to me."
Top-Grade Spirit Stone!? Wang Dadan looked at the fist-sized purple Top-Grade Spirit Stone in Jiang Xiaobai's hand, utterly shocked.
He had never even touched a Top-Grade Spirit Stone before. He carefully took the Top-Grade Spirit Stone, his heart filled with excitement, and quickly said:
"Alright, I'll join a major Sect."
Jiang Xiaobai, upon hearing this, grinned and said:
"Then quickly sign your name and drip a drop of blood on it."
Wang Dadan tightly clutched the Top-Grade Spirit Stone in his left hand, fearing Jiang Xiaobai would go back on his word. He then signed his name on the Azure Cloud Illustrated Book and dripped a drop of his own blood on it.
In an instant, a mysterious power immediately enveloped Wang Dadan's entire body.
Seeing this, Jiang Xiaobai grinned again and smiled:
"Hehe, it's so easy to recruit the first Disciple."
"Senior Brother, what should I call you? Where is our Sect?" Wang Dadan asked with a curious expression.
Jiang Xiaobai immediately snatched the Top-Grade Spirit Stone from Wang Dadan's hand and said playfully:
"Our Sect? There, go a hundred miles in this direction, and it's there."
Wang Dadan was stunned upon hearing this. After a moment of thought, he widened his eyes and shouted:
"Qingyun Sect? That broken and dilapidated Sect!?"
Jiang Xiaobai looked at Wang Dadan's bewildered expression and nodded with a smile:
"It's normal for you to have that expression. Come with me, we're going to recruit other Disciples!"
After Jiang Xiaobai finished speaking, he immediately turned and walked towards Qingyun City without another word, leaving Wang Dadan standing there, utterly bewildered.
"No, I want to withdraw from the Sect!!" Wang Dadan roared at Jiang Xiaobai.
Buzz!
Rumble!
A purple lightning bolt suddenly appeared, directly striking Wang Dadan, causing him to smoke.
"Once the Azure Cloud Illustrated Book is signed, you shall never betray, nor shall you withdraw, for all eternity!"
