"1000 Gold, no problem."
After speaking, Qin Mo quickly dug into his pocket, found a Thousand Gold ticket, and handed it over without hesitation.
Although he belongs to the Qin Family on Flying Fish Island, joining a Sect has no restrictions. Even if there were restrictions, he would still join the Immortal Sect because it is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Others might be dreaming about joining the Immortal Sect in their sleep.
After paying the entrance fee, Wen Ping didn’t make the entry process cumbersome. Receiving a bow from Qin Mo sufficed.
Not long after, Qin Mo couldn’t hold back the confusion in his heart and, risking the grave offense of probing Sect secrets, asked, "Sect Leader, how could the Fierce Beast Trial Ground allow me to elevate my Palm Technique to Great Success within two hours?"
Wen Ping did not hide anything and explained, "Because you triggered the War Intent State, during that period, everything you comprehend and gain is accelerated six times, and Martial Arts Realm barriers are ignored. However, being able to elevate your Martial Arts to Great Success within two hours also owes to your diligent cultivation in daily life."
Though Wen Ping did not attribute all the credit to the Fierce Beast Trial Ground, Qin Mo perceived it differently.
He believed the credit belonged to the Fierce Beast Trial Ground.
Because of the Realm Barrier, trying to break through it usually requires accumulating a large amount of time; otherwise, you might be blocked for ten years like it’s a single day.
Qin Mo laughed and said, "Sect Leader, I plan to cultivate solely in the Fierce Beast Trial Ground from now on and nowhere else. Here’s money for the next 20 days. Sect Leader, if there’s nothing urgent, don’t call me."
While saying this, Qin Mo once again pulled out a Thousand Gold ticket.
But Wen Ping didn’t accept it.
"No, you can cultivate in the Fierce Beast Trial Ground for at most three hours a day."
Qin Mo was just thinking about quickly becoming stronger so he could triumph in the second assessment; the Fierce Beast Trial Ground was his opportunity. But only being able to cultivate for three hours a day hurt a little.
Who cultivates just for three hours a day?
Isn’t that like being idle?
"Sect Leader, I can offer 200 Gold per day." He considered Gold tickets as mere paper, and if he could exchange this paper for strength, he was willing to give all his Gold tickets.
However, he hadn’t expected Wen Ping to refuse, "Even for 1000 Gold a day, it’s not feasible. Since this is a Sect, you can’t be selfish and seize the Fierce Beast Trial Ground all for yourself."
Feeling Qin Mo’s disappointment, Wen Ping comforted him, "Alright, being a man, actually there are many other Cultivation Fields in the Sect, not just the Fierce Beast Trial Ground where you can enhance your power."
"Would I, as the Sect Leader, deceive you?"
Qin Mo jumped up in joy, thinking to himself that the outside world was indeed extraordinary; his journey turned out right.
Wen Ping continued, "Go find Zhao Yi; he’ll show you other places. I have matters to attend to, so you can leave."
Qin Mo exited the kitchen and ran off, filled with excitement.
After gaining a new disciple and a new source of income, Wen Ping was quite gratified. After all, relying on windfall for the Sect’s development would not work; no one falls sick every day just needing him.
Earning from disciples, this source of income is indeed the core that strengthens the Sect.
Meanwhile, in a residence in Cangwu City, a middle-aged man with graying temples, who was sitting cross-legged with eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes as if startled.
Then, he turned his head to look at the person kneeling behind him and asked, "Huaikong really went off desperately seeking medical help and joined the Immortal Sect?"
The kneeling middle-aged man nodded.
If someone from the Hundred Sects Alliance were here, they would surely recognize this man at a glance. For he is the steward of the Hundred Sects Alliance’s Cangwu City Branch, Hu Ye, second only to the president and vice-president.
Possessing the ability to influence the trends of various families!
And the very first steward, above the president and vice-president, was the person sitting cross-legged—Li Kongshan!
Upon hearing Hu Ye’s response, Li Kongshan laughed heartily, the joy on his face palpable even from his expression.
"He really believes the Immortal Sect can make Old Rong defeated; he genuinely thinks they have the ability to treat Mo Yue’s disease. Mo Yue’s illness is beyond saving, even if Su Li comes, he won’t be cured; it will only expedite his demise."
One of the heads of the Hundred Sects Alliance in East Lake — Mo Yue of the Profound Realm — protector of Mo Lin.
If he dies in Cangwu City, it would be truly comedic.
Hu Ye added, "Sir, I heard from other stewards that Mo Lin personally went up the mountain to invite the Immortal Sect Young Master Wen Ping because the Demon Chef Huaikong said Wen Ping possesses abilities no less than Su Li."
"Absurd, listening to a mere cook talking about medicinal cuisines, could a young greenhorn truly comprehend it? If the art of medicinal cuisine were that simple, wouldn’t East Lake be filled with Medicinal Cuisine Masters? How could there be a scenario where a Medicinal Cuisine Master is as precious as a gem? Wen Ping, even if he started studying the art of medicinal cuisine from the womb, it would take him nineteen years just to reach entry level."
"Sir, should we watch the show or intervene?"
"Let’s go and watch, I’m curious to see Mo Lin’s expression when he sees his father die."
Having said that, Li Kongshan stood up.
Just then, footsteps were heard from outside the door, followed by the voice of the attendant.
"Senior Han Zhiyu of Extreme Realm Mountain has arrived!"
With the sound just dying away, Han Zhiyu, with a face of indifference, stepped into the room, his pace slow but every step astonishing.
Li Kongshan and the others immediately came forward to greet.
They spoke in unison.
Han Zhiyu said coldly, "I heard everything you just said, and coincidentally I also want to meet that Wen Ping, for killing someone from my Extreme Realm Mountain, I should see his face; otherwise, it might be hard to recognize him when I go to kill him in a few days."
He had been staying in the City Lord’s Mansion today, considering borrowing the Mansion’s resources to help the Young Master search for things.
But unexpectedly, he hadn’t received any good news; instead, he learned the bad news of his people dying. When the Kao Shan Sect leader informed him it was the act of the Immortal Sect, he harbored killing intent, wanting to directly use Kao Shan Sect to strike.
The Kao Shan Sect leader Wan Mo told him that the Immortal Sect’s Star Promotion application was still with the Hundred Sects Alliance, making them allies. If he acted, the Hundred Sects Alliance would intervene.
Therefore, risking being reprimanded by the Young Master, he sought a steward to outright reject the Immortal Sect’s Star Promotion application.
After rejection, the Kao Shan Sect could act without restraint.
After listening to Han Zhiyu’s account, Li Kongshan slyly smiled and said, "Senior Han, actually there’s no need to cancel the Star Promotion application. I have another move that can make Wen Ping die more miserably and the Immortal Sect fall into the abyss."
"What method?" Han Zhiyu asked.
"It’s simple, just use Mo Lin’s father Mo Yue’s hand; he will directly help us kill Wen Ping."
"Mo Yue came to Cangwu City?"
"Yes, his severe illness recurred, Mo Lin brought him to Cangwu City, though I don’t know why, but Mo Yue must be in great pain now. He is known as the God of Slaughter in East Lake; even those who make eye contact with him will be killed. His blade won’t have mercy on physicians who cannot cure him."
