Chapter 9: Understand the situation

“Tsk, you guys said my old uncle shouldn’t Cultivate Immortals, but you little brats should go home and drink milk!”

Ye Feng said disdainfully to the little brats.

“Hmph, you just wait, you weird uncle! When I achieve success in Cultivation, I’ll beat you to death!”

Qian Jiayou cursed at Ye Feng, then quickly ran back to his dormitory.

Some people still wanted to go up and beat Ye Feng, but the others saw Qian Jiayou saying the fiercest words while doing the most cowardly things, and then looked at the slap mark on Qian Jiayou’s face, realizing that Ye Feng’s strength was not simple.

They scattered like birds and beasts, leaving the large courtyard and returning to their respective dormitories to Cultivate, hoping to one day beat this weird uncle down.

Seeing this, Ning Buqu couldn't help but feel a little disheartened.

Good heavens, on the first day, everyone had been offended by Ye Feng, and now he was implicated as well.

For a moment, he even regretted being Ye Feng's tour guide.

“Senior Brother Ye Feng, do you have to go that far? You’ve offended everyone now, who will be your friend in the future?”

“No big deal. These little brats have short memories; they’ll probably forget about it sometime.”

“If they remember me, then they will automatically steer clear of me in any situation in the future, which is also a good thing.”

Ye Feng was quite optimistic.

When it’s time to be overbearing, don’t hesitate. When it’s time to be humble, don’t act arrogant.

There’s no need to be afraid of these little brats.

If he didn’t establish his authority, there would be a lot of troublesome issues in the future!

“Alright!”

Ning Buqu shrugged, secretly praying that he wouldn't also be resented by the others.

Subsequently, under Ning Buqu’s lead, Ye Feng found a small private room.

Originally, there was another little brat living here, but upon seeing Ye Feng enter, he immediately packed his things and left.

Having a room to himself, with privacy and property safety maximized, Ye Feng was delighted!

After putting his belongings into the cabinet and locking them, Ye Feng closed the door again before continuing to go out with Ning Buqu.

“Ning Buqu, now continue to show me around and let me see other places on Di Yong Peak.”

“Okay.”

Ning Buqu continued to lead the way for Ye Feng, feeling disheartened.

Back outside, some of the people who had come out again automatically kept their distance after seeing the two of them.

A few minutes later, the two arrived in front of the Utility Disciple lecture hall.

“Senior Brother Ye Feng, this is the Utility Disciple lecture hall. Every three days, an Outer Sect Senior Brother will come to explain Cultivation Technique or minor Spell.”

“Someone just gave a lecture two days ago. Tomorrow morning at nine o’clock will be the next lecture. When you come to listen, you must be early, otherwise you will displease the Senior Brother.”

Ning Buqu instructed Ye Feng.

“Hmm, don’t we have things like a Scripture Pavilion here?”

“No, Tian Yong Peak might have one, but the people on Tian Yong Peak are all Cultivators in the Qi Refining Middle Stage, who can start working. Only by working and earning Sect integral can they exchange for Spells, Cultivation Techniques, and other things in the Scripture Pavilion.”

“Is that so? Then where can I find pens, ink, paper, and inkstones?”

“None.”

“Don’t you take notes in class? Don’t you know that a bad memory is worse than a good pen?”

Ye Feng was a little surprised.

“It’s just that there aren’t any!”

“Alright, where is there a market where I can trade things?”

“I heard there’s a small market behind Chuxiu Peak, which is jointly run by Inner Sect Disciples and Outer Sect Disciples. It seems we Utility Disciples are not allowed in.”

For the next period of time, Ye Feng continued to familiarize himself with the entire Di Yong Peak under Ning Buqu's guidance.

Di Yong Peak mainly Cultivates new recruits who have just started Cultivating on the mountain, so there aren’t many surrounding buildings.

There are only five places: male dormitories, female dormitories, lecture halls, dining halls, and the Management Affairs Hall.

After touring, Ye Feng continued to press Ning Buqu for information about the Xuantian Sect.

It turned out that these little brats, after being arranged to Di Yong Peak, all had one year of free Cultivation time.

Only he, who entered the Sect half a year after the Disciple recruitment period, had his free Cultivation time directly cut in half.

And after the one year of free Cultivation time ended, they would be thrown out of the novice village.

Those who had already Cultivated to Qi Refining Third Level could apply to be assigned to other Spiritual Qi-rich peaks to work, while those who had not yet Cultivated to Qi Refining Third Level could only be swept to Tian Yong Peak.

Once they reached Tian Yong Peak, they would basically have no chance of standing out for the rest of their lives.

Because the Spiritual Qi on Tian Yong Peak was even more barren than Di Yong Peak, and the managers there would assign a large amount of work to the Utility Disciples, making them exhausted and leaving them no time to Cultivate at all; it was purely exploitation of labor.

Among the other peaks, as Ye Feng guessed, Danxia Peak, where Alchemy was practiced, was considered relatively good. However, the best place to go was still Xuantian Peak, where the Sect Master and Old Ancestor resided.

Once there, one could say it was incredibly leisurely, with plenty of time available for Cultivation.

If they gained the favor of the Sect Elders or the Sect Master and pleased them, a casual reward would be enough to change their lives.

In addition, before being assigned to tasks, some True Disciples would often come to Di Yong Peak or Tian Yong Peak to select Utility Disciples as their attendants.

Often, many beautiful female Disciples would be chosen and taken back to do things that everyone understood.

As for male Utility Disciples, after being selected, they were mostly assigned to manage spiritual fields and do other miscellaneous chores.

For Utility Disciples, this was also a good destination.

After all, those True Disciples were big shots in the Foundation Establishment Realm, and a little bit of what they leaked would be enough to make them full.

After a stroll, Ye Feng continued to bring Ning Buqu back to the dormitory and took out the Cultivation Technique, Xuan Yuan Art.

“Come, Ning Buqu, explain this Cultivation Technique to me.”

The Cultivation Technique didn't have many words. Qi Refining First Level only had about a hundred characters, and it was in classical Chinese, making it genuinely difficult for Ye Feng to understand on his own.

“Senior Brother Ye Feng, you have to be generous.”

Ning Buqu pouted, his small fingers constantly rubbing together.

Clearly, he was hinting for Ye Feng to give him money.

“Alright, you won’t be shortchanged.”

Ye Feng threw the promised one tael of gold into his hand.

Upon receiving the gold, Ning Buqu instinctively bit it to confirm if it was real.

In a moment, he was beaming with joy, evidently confirming that it was real gold.

“Ning Buqu, can you explain the Cultivation Technique to me now? After you finish explaining, I’ll give you another tael of gold.”
