Chapter 34

Contribution Ranking

Hearing Fang Wang's words, Fang Hanyu thought for a moment and decided to trust him. The commotion caused by the Jihao Sect was too great; it was best for him to remain unaware to avoid trouble. πŸ’ŽβœŒ 69SΠ½Η—ο½˜.ΔŒπ“žηˆͺ🐍🐠

Fang Hanyu took a deep breath and then said, "Fang Wang, you're already seventeen years old, right? If you weren't cultivating immortality, your fifth uncle would probably celebrate your birthday."

Fang Wang laughed and said, "We're all pursuing immortality, why bother about birthdays? In the future, we'll be living for hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands of years. Only those significant milestones are worth celebrating."

Fang Hanyu smiled and began to talk to him about the past.

Time flies when you're in Fangjing.

Another month passed, and Fang Hanyu reached the ninth level of the Qi Cultivation Realm. The speed at which he reached this level was enough to prove how powerful the Heartless Evil Eye was. As a result, Fang Wang decided to return to the Taiyuan Sect.

Before leaving, Fang Wang instructed Qing Wan'er to go out as little as possible and wait for Zhou Xue to return.

The area is now quite well-developed, with pavilions lining the lakeside and numerous spiritual herbs and flowers planted in front of the mountain walls, and the spiritual energy is continuously increasing.

"Don't worry, we won't do anything reckless." Qing Wan'er nodded. After what happened with Li Honggang, she decided to focus on her cultivation and not always rely on others for protection.

Without further ado, Fang Wang led Fang Hanyu away.

To conceal Juexin Evil Eyes, Fang Hanyu put the white cloth back on to cover his eyes. He had already cultivated divine sense and could see things with it.

And so, Fang Wang and his companion left Fangjing and departed on their swords.

Along the way, Fang Wang had the idea of ​​teaching the White Rainbow Escape Technique, so he sped up, and Fang Hanyu tried his best to keep up.

For cultivators, the journey from the western border of the Great Qi Dynasty to Taiyuan Gate only takes a few days. The further they go, the fewer demonic cultivators they encounter. After donning the robes of Taiyuan Gate disciples, they encountered no trouble along the way.

Four days later.

Guided by their disciple tokens, the two returned to Taiyuan Sect.

Upon returning to Taiyuan Sect, the two did not part ways. Fang Wang led Fang Hanyu directly to the main peak and paid their respects to the sect leader in front of the Shiyuan Hall.

"Come in."

The gates of the Shiyuan Palace opened, and the voice of Guang Qiuxian emanated from within.

Fang and Wang immediately entered the hall. Inside, Guang Qiuxian sat cross-legged on a futon with his eyes closed, looking like a celestial being, exuding an otherworldly air.

After bowing, Fang Wang directly recounted Fang Hanyu's experiences without any concealment, including the matter of Zhou Xue bestowing the Heartless Evil Eyes upon Fang Hanyu. This was the result of his discussion with Zhou Xue, who told him to tell the truth, as she had her own way of dealing with it.

Guang Qiuxian opened his eyes after listening for a short while, his brows furrowed, and his gaze turned cold.

As the sect leader, how could he remain unmoved upon hearing that his disciples were experiencing such painful torment?

After Fang Wang finished speaking, Guang Qiuxian slowly said, "The Heartless Evil Eye and the Heavenly Gang Sacred Body True Skill are both cultivation methods created by the ancients based on the ancient physique. They have the effect of defying the heavens and changing one's fate. Qingchan Valley has had the Heartless Evil Eye cultivation method for a hundred years, but has never succeeded. I didn't expect you to succeed. It seems that the master behind Zhou Xue is not simple."

"In a lifetime of cultivation, besides the sect, one also needs many benefactors. Taiyuan Sect respects the opportunities of every disciple. Although Juexin Xiemu is considered an evil sect, it does not belong entirely to Qingchan Valley."

Guang Qiuxian raised his sleeve, and a jade piece flew out, landing in Fang Hanyu's hand. He said, "This is my edict. Go to the Cultivation Technique Pavilion to receive the Heart-Cleansing Mantra, which can effectively suppress your instinctive killing intent."

Fang Hanyu nodded quickly and said, "Thank you, Sect Leader."

"Keep your eyes covered from now on to avoid unnecessary trouble. I'm not talking about being ostracized by your fellow disciples, but about being discovered by Qingchan Valley. You should understand that there are always spies from the demonic path within righteous sects," Guang Qiuxian instructed.

Fang Hanyu responded, and seeing Guang Qiuxian wave his hand, he bowed and took his leave.

Only Fang Wang and Guang Qiuxian remained in the hall.

Guang Qiuxian smiled, no longer displaying his previous demeanor as the sect leader. He glared at Fang Wang and snorted, "You brat, you've only been here a year and you've already caused so much trouble."

I sent Lu Yuanjun to pick you up, why aren't you back yet?

Fang Wang said helplessly, "Sect Leader, there's no other way. Our clansmen are suffering, we can't just ignore it."

"White-robed and stunning, what a prestigious title! It's even more impressive than when Lu Yuanjun rose to fame. As the sect leader, I'm naturally pleased. Your reputation will benefit the Taiyuan Sect. But from my personal perspective, I hope you won't be reckless. Focus on your cultivation. Too many geniuses die young; only those who survive can become the strongest in this world," Guang Qiuxian said earnestly.

Fang Wang nodded and replied, "Thank you for your guidance, Sect Leader."

He also plans to spend time accumulating cultivation experience.

"The Thirty-Six Swords of Startling Beauty, tsk tsk, you've already surpassed your master, hahaha. When you see your master in the future, you'll have to please him. He's such a petty person. Back when I was chosen as the sect leader, he sulked for a long time and ignored me for a full ten years..."

Guang Qiuxian began to recount his past with Yang Yuanzi, portraying Yang Yuanzi as a petty and straightforward junior brother.

Fang Wang listened attentively, while analyzing the true relationship between the two.

for a long time.

After Guang Qiuxian finished speaking, Fang Wang asked, "Sect Leader, who is Senior Brother Lu's master? Is he a peak master of a lineage?"

Guang Qiuxian stroked his beard and laughed, "Lu Yuanjun has two masters: one is the peak master of his lineage, and the other is me. What's wrong?"

Fang Wang smiled and said, "After meeting Senior Brother Lu, I felt that he was a really good person and that he would definitely become a good sect leader in the future. However, you, the sect leader, also want to train me to become the next sect leader, so I am having a hard time deciding."

He was testing the waters.

Guang Qiuxian smiled and replied, "Becoming the sect leader isn't just about being a good person. A good sect leader must go through fierce battles, be strong enough, and be able to command respect. If you want to compete, I can provide you with support that surpasses Lu Yuanjun in private, but you need prestige. You need to make the disciples in the sect believe that you are qualified to compete with him. When the entire Taiyuan Sect believes that you are more suitable to be the sect leader than Lu Yuanjun, that will be the time for me to step down to you."

"You don't need to worry about your relationship with Lu Yuanjun. A sect can't have only one strong person. Losing the position of sect leader doesn't mean a complete break. Just like your master and me, no matter who wins or loses, you are both the pillars of the Taiyuan Sect in the next generation."

Guang Qiuxian gave him many instructions and also shared his experience on how to compete for the position of the eldest disciple.

Half an hour later.

Fang Wangli left the Abyss Palace and flew towards the sect's main city.

Along the way, he pondered Guang Qiuxian's words. Guang Qiuxian seemed to be supporting him, but in reality, he was instilling in him the idea that no matter how much they argued, they should not hurt each other's feelings. This showed that Lu Yuanjun was very important to Guang Qiuxian. Even though Fang Wang was a Heavenly Yuan Treasure Spirit, Guang Qiuxian was unwilling to give up Lu Yuanjun.

From the disciple's perspective, this kind of sect leader is very good, but from Fang Wang's perspective, this is a major obstacle, because he and Lu Yuanjun cannot get along!

If Zhou Xue hadn't been reborn, he, who hadn't learned the sword control technique, would have fought to the death and died on the night of the massacre, and the entire Fang family would have perished.

He couldn't let go of the anger in his heart until he avenged this grudge.

Fortunately, Fang Wang already knew that Lu Yuanjun was behind the massacre of his family, otherwise he might have really suffered because of Lu Yuanjun's passion.

He wasn't fighting for the position of the eldest disciple for power, but simply to surpass Lu Yuanjun. When he one day draws his sword against Lu Yuanjun, the entire sect can only acquiesce or tolerate it!

After entering the city, Fang Wang flew towards the mission hall.

The Mission Hall is the busiest place in the city. This pavilion has nine floors, and disciples come and go in an endless stream.

Fang Wang sheathed his sword, landed, and walked into the mission hall, preparing to hand over Li Hongshuang's head.

Within the Taiyuan Sect, in addition to the basic disciple benefits, disciples need to make contributions to upgrade their cave dwellings and obtain cultivation techniques, elixirs, magic weapons, and so on. Contributions are obtained through various tasks, ranging from slaying demonic giants to planting herbs. Different tasks have different levels of contribution, which are recorded in the cultivation syllabus.

Even the most talented disciples need to constantly complete tasks and build reputation, especially since advancement to higher ranks is extremely demanding in terms of contribution.

As disciples continue to complete tasks, their bond with the sect will deepen. Even if they are spies of the demonic path, killing too many demonic cultivators for the sect will not make things easy for them when they return.

Upon entering the main hall, the spacious hall came into view. As soon as he entered, he saw ten pillars, nine of which surrounded a giant pillar. Each pillar displayed the character "ε…‰" (light), which represented the names and contribution levels of the disciples.

The Contribution Pillar records the contribution rankings of disciples from each lineage, including elders. The surrounding giant pillar represents the contribution rankings of the entire Taiyuan Sect. Those who can enter the main pillar are all powerful figures in the Taiyuan Sect.

The existence of the contribution pillar is a way to enhance the reputation of disciples, so that those who contribute silently will not go unnoticed.
