Chaos Heavenly Emperor Technique

Chapter 1321: Chapter 1322: Mingjian Building! (Update 1)

”Of course, there is one more thing I must remind everyone of.”

Fong Ling suddenly turned around and slowly said, ”Outer Disciples, although they hold a slightly higher status than Chores disciples, in addition to daily cultivation, there will be some daily tasks from the sect to complete. Such as raising Spiritual Beasts, fertilizing the Medicine Garden, catching insects, or going to the Elixir Room to clean the Pill Furnace and grind medicinal materials...”

”What?”

A young man in luxurious attire immediately frowned, ”Isn’t this just chores?”

”There is still a difference. Chores disciples do laundry and cook, fetch water and chop wood – jobs without any technical content. As an Outer Disciple, your daily tasks are part of cultivation. At least, you can choose whether to raise Spiritual Beasts or go to the Alchemy Room, whereas Chores disciples have no choice.”

Fong Ling’s expression was cold, utterly ruthless.

The corners of the luxurious young man’s mouth twitched slightly. The thought of his dignified Half-step Human Emperor status having to wash clothes and fetch water made him shiver uncontrollably.

No matter what, I absolutely cannot fall to the level of a Chores disciple!

”Regardless of your previous status, upon arriving at the East Spirit Immortal Pond, you must abide by the Immortal Pond’s rules. If tasks are not completed, a portion of the month’s cultivation materials will be deducted. If tasks repeatedly go uncompleted, you will be sent to the depths of Black Abyss to be punished, where there is no trace of nature’s spiritual energy and the chilling cold will freeze to the bone. Being sent to Black Abyss will cause your cultivation to stagnate or even regress, making it unlikely to pass the annual assessment.”

Upon hearing Fong Ling’s words, everyone involuntarily took a deep breath; the rules of East Spirit Immortal Pond were truly ”cruel.”

However, this is also to select the true elites. After all, it is the Human Clan’s Holy Land, never short of geniuses. To stay, one must continuously become stronger.

”Just a reminder, today is the first day, and you don’t need to perform daily tasks. You can start once tasks are assigned tomorrow.”

As she spoke, Fong Ling had already led everyone to the residence of the Outer Disciples.

Looking at the surroundings, everyone widened their eyes; this was anything but a residence, it was obviously a cluster of thatched huts!

”What a joke, a thatched hut?”

The young man in luxurious attire was the first to be unable to endure it, ”Fong Ling, Senior sister, you... you must be joking with us? Is this a place fit for human habitation?”

This luxurious young man was a Prince from a small kingdom, accustomed to fine clothes, gourmet meals, living in palatial buildings, and even having a Dragon Carriage for transportation upon arrival. Now, having joined the East Spirit Immortal Pond, he actually has to live in thatched huts?

Additionally, the most outrageous thing is that these thatched hut roofs are full of holes, the ground muddy, making stepping on it disgusting.

Inside the hut, the grass bed was damp and covered in mold, with a few lovely mushrooms growing, not much better than a pigsty.

Some female disciples frowned deeply; not to mention these women, even Ling Feng found it somewhat hard to accept.

Even if I understand that East Spirit Immortal Pond is encouraging competition among the disciples, this is too extreme.

This isn’t a place for cultivation; it’s clearly a place for suffering!

If it wasn’t for the fact that this is the famous East Spirit Immortal Pond, these people would likely walk away immediately.

”The thatched huts are specially built by the sect for new disciples. With some tidying up, they can be habitable.”

Fong Ling looked at the disciples and slowly said, ”Don’t be picky!”

”Hey, those houses are Earth Realm shelters, why can’t we live there?”

Some sharp-eyed Outer Disciples noticed rows of pavilions above their thatched huts. Though not luxurious, compared to these thatched huts, they were practically palatial.

Fong Ling simply smiled faintly, ”Those are the Mingjian Towers prepared for Outer Disciples, divided into Heavenly Mingjian Tower and Earth-level Mingjian Tower. If you want to live there, you’ll have to fight for it.”

Upon hearing Fong Ling’s words, the disciples’ eyes lit up, each one rushed towards the Mingjian Tower.

Who would want to stay in the wretched thatched huts when there are red walls and green tiles to live in?

Fong Ling watched these disciples rushing forward, simply standing with her arms crossed, smiling silently.

Suddenly, she noticed several people who did not follow the crowd, including Ling Feng, whose comprehensive score ranked third and was ignored by all.

”Hey, why aren’t you going to fight for the Mingjian Tower? If you go too late, there won’t be a spot for you.”

Fong Ling said to Ling Feng with a slightly cajoling tone.

Ling Feng raised an eyebrow, saying calmly, ”If I want to fight for it, it doesn’t matter when I go.”

A hint of a peculiar color flashed in Fong Ling’s bright eyes, and she smiled slightly, ”You are quite confident in yourself, just like outside earlier.”

Evidently, Fong Ling had completely overheard the previous conversation between Ling Feng and Lin Mu.

”I don’t have many other qualities, but self-confidence is what I have the most.”

Ling Feng smiled lightly, a case of strategizing before making a move - rushing won’t help cook tofu faster.

”I also saw your results, ranking first in all five halls. It’s no surprise you’re so proud, but even in the Divine Sea Realm, it’s best to learn humility at East Spirit Immortal Pond.”

Fong Ling sincerely advised Ling Feng, and at this moment, several screams broke the silence.

”Ah!—”

”Good heavens!”

It turns out that the disciples who rushed to fight for the Mingjian Tower were immediately kicked back by someone in the front row; those people acted ruthlessly, resulting in broken hands and legs.

From the Mingjian Tower, rows of disciples gradually emerged, revealing that the Mingjian Tower was already occupied by strong individuals, clearly the elite among Outer Disciples, significantly different from those just entering East Spirit Immortal Pond.

”I forgot to mention, the Mingjian Tower can be seized at any time, but if you want to live there, you have to rely on your skills.”

A smile curved Fong Ling’s lips as she calmly said, ”The Heavenly Mingjian Tower, ten in total, includes high-level Gathering Spirit Arrays, offering a triple increase in nature’s spiritual energy. The tower owners are exempted from daily tasks and have ten times the cultivation materials of Outer Disciples.”

”The Earth-level Mingjian Tower, one hundred in total, includes middle-level Gathering Spirit Arrays, offering a single increase in nature’s spiritual energy, along with five times the cultivation materials of Outer Disciples. Of course, to live in the Mingjian Tower, you must defeat the current owner.”

”Ouch!”

The new disciples who had been taught a harsh lesson cried out with bitter faces, complaining why Fong Ling hadn’t told them sooner.

But clearly, this way of informing everyone made the lesson more memorable.

Ling Feng touched his nose; the East Spirit Immortal Pond was truly full of competition. No wonder it stood at the peak among the three Holy Lands of the Human Clan.
