Staying In The World Of Cultivation

Chapter 81: Take it, you deserve it.

Su Fan closed his eyes, feeling the state of the spiritual liquor within his body.

Mellow, soft, smooth, an indescribable taste, feedback from the tip of his tongue.

The internal heat rose, steaming through the five viscera and six bowels, flowing into the limbs and bones. The blood in his body also boiled bit by bit under the stimulation of the heat.

Qi and blood merged, swiftly coursing through the blood vessels and meridians, circulating endlessly.

After an unknown amount of time, Su Fan finally opened his eyes and let out a long breath.

His senior sister wasn't exaggerating. With just one sip of this spiritual liquor, it could at least replace a month of cultivation.

"How is it?"

Su Fan nodded.

"Thank you, senior sister..."

His senior sister smiled and poured him another cup of liquor.

"I should be the one thanking you. With the information you provided, I was able to take the lead within the sect and sweep through three branches of the evil cult. Today's events were me being willful, don't take offense..."

Su Fan raised his cup and clinked it with his senior sister's, then drank it all in one gulp.

If she could still bring out such good spiritual liquor, it didn't matter, she could be as willful as she wanted.

Liu He, who was beside them, watched them toast and drink several times with eager eyes, reaching out to grab the bottle of liquor a few times but then retracting his hand.

His awkward appearance amused his senior sister, so she poured him a cup as well.

"You've been doing well recently, so this cup is for you as a reward..."

Liu He repeatedly bowed to his senior sister and eagerly picked up the cup to drink it.

After drinking it, he looked silly, his face flushed like a cooked crab, steam rising from his body.

His senior sister took out a storage bag and threw it to Su Fan.

"This is the reward from the sect for me. Take it, you deserve it."

This time, his senior sister benefited greatly from the information about the evil cult.

Not only did she receive commendation from the sect, but she was also personally summoned by the ancestral elder of the family, earning a lot of rewards.

Spirit stones and such were nothing to someone like his senior sister, who came from a prestigious background.

Su Fan didn't hesitate and took it, hanging it around his waist.

"Thanks, senior sister..."

His senior sister nodded and poured another cup of spiritual liquor for Su Fan.

"Now you are also a member of our Shifting Yin Sect. Do you have any plans for the future?"

Su Fan said, "I just want to find a place closer to the sect to cultivate quietly."

"I said I owe you a favor, so I can transfer you to the outer sect."

After hearing his senior sister's words, Su Fan pondered for a moment.

If he could directly enter the outer sect in one step, it would indeed save him a lot of effort. However, in the future, he would be labeled as a disciple of his senior sister's lineage.

From Liu He's words, Su Fan could sense some internal conflicts within the Shifting Yin Sect.

The competition among those family disciples for resources was intense, and Su Fan didn't want to be involved in this vortex of interests.

Of course, there was another important reason.

As an independent cultivator with four spiritual roots and such fast cultivation speed with the help of the game panel, what if he caught the attention of those Foundation Building and Gold Core cultivators within the sect? How could he explain it clearly?

Forget it, it's better to stay outside the sect for now, at least it's more comfortable.

"Thank you for your kind offer, senior sister, but I don't have any big ambitions. I just want to find a peaceful place to cultivate quietly."

His senior sister didn't expect Su Fan to refuse.

But she didn't mind, as she was only trying to repay the favor.

A four spiritual roots cultivator from an independent background like Su Fan would only reach the Qi Refining Late Stage in this lifetime. It wasn't worth her paying too much attention to.

The next morning, Su Fan arrived at Ashen Dove City.

Liu He had been waiting at the city gate for a long time and ran up to him when he saw Su Fan.

"Big brother, you're here so early..."

Su Fan had no choice with him. He hadn't given him a good face for such a long time, but this guy still didn't take it seriously.

"No, I arrived before you. Have you eaten? Let's eat together..."

Liu He chuckled, "I didn't have time to eat while waiting for you..."

The two of them arrived at a restaurant. Knowing Su Fan's appetite, Liu He specifically requested a private room to avoid startling other customers.

Even so, the sight of the waiter carrying tray after tray of steamed buns into the private room still piqued the interest of others.

"Who is that? They can really eat."

Inside the private room, the table was piled high with steamer baskets, almost reaching the ceiling.

With just a few bites, Su Fan finished one steamer basket of six buns.

And that's not all, there was also a large pot of Spirit Rice porridge and dozens of breakfast side dishes.

It wasn't until Su Fan finished all the buns in the restaurant that he felt satisfied.

The External Affairs Hall of the Shifting Yin Sect had set up a branch in Ashen Dove City, mainly to serve peripheral disciples who came from independent cultivators.

Of course, outer disciples could also handle their sect missions here.

Today, it was bustling with activity. Outside the door, a large group of selected independent cultivators had gathered, eagerly waiting in line to complete their admission procedures.

Su Fan didn't know how many peripheral disciples the Shifting Yin Sect had recruited this time.

But compared to when he participated in the selection, there weren't many independent cultivators who passed.

"Big brother, wait here for a moment. I'll go find my father inside."

After Liu He finished speaking, he went inside, while Su Fan found a crowded place nearby and listened to the conversations of the independent cultivators.

"Old He, where were you assigned?"

"Hehe... Lingwu County, Chao Tian Sect..."

"Not bad, I heard there's a small Spirit Vein there, enough to support your cultivation."

"What about you, brother..."

"I joined the sect's law enforcement team..."

"Oh... then I congratulate you. In the future, I'll have to rely on you, brother."

"Haha... congratulations to you too..."

Listening to the conversations of several independent cultivators, Su Fan realized that no matter where they were assigned, everyone seemed content.

Many of the independent cultivators selected this time were assigned to various counties in Zhao Country as disciples stationed there by the sect.

Some independent cultivators were assigned to the sect's law enforcement teams in different locations.

In fact, it didn't sound bad at all. They would usually be traveling around, without the constraints of being stationed disciples.

It was evident that the Shifting Yin Sect had significantly strengthened its monitoring of various regions in Zhao Country, mainly to guard against the Luo Tian Sect.

Although these positions were like exile for sect disciples, they were a complete change for independent cultivators.

Apart from not being able to cultivate inside the sect's mountain gate, they enjoyed almost the same benefits as outer disciples.

Moreover, the sect's Transmission Hall held monthly teachings by Foundation Building seniors. Just this opportunity alone was worth risking their lives to participate in the selection for independent cultivators.

Of course, they could forget about finding a master as peripheral disciples.

Not only them, even most of the outer disciples within the sect's mountain gate had no chance of finding a master.

For ancient sects like the Shifting Yin Sect, the way to cultivate disciples was through nurturing them like raising gu.

It was already good if one inner disciple could be produced from a hundred outer disciples, and the sect's ancestral tomb would be smoking if one elite disciple could be produced from a hundred inner disciples.

Whether it was immortal sects or demonic sects, the true strength and foundation of a sect always lay in a very small number of elite forces.

As for other disciples, to put it bluntly, they were just background characters.

As for peripheral disciples like Su Fan, it went without saying that they were practically given away for free.

That was the harsh reality. The sooner one realized this, the sooner they could be liberated.

As the saying goes, take a step back and the sea is boundless.

It was absolutely a wise saying.

Fortunately, Su Fan had already realized this in his previous life and truly understood it.
