Using entries to cultivate immortality in chaotic times

Chapter 314: Chapter 148: Oh, there’s also a group of brown bears.
 

“Eliminate this one; it won’t work,” Chen Qiu shook his head, he didn’t believe that by going to the Xuantian Continent, he could seize a market from the already stable power environment. Even if he succeeded, he couldn’t sustain it. His current plan was to keep a low profile after going out and gradually work his way up.

“Absorbing other families or sects, this method is also commonly used by some sects.”

“Next.”

“Sending disciples into the Secret Realm, then taking all their harvest for sect development, does have certain flaws…”

“What flaws?”

“It’s prone to mass defection from the sect.”

“Next.”

“Our sect has a good reputation and its own special techniques, so some wealthy families’ descendants are willing to spend a large amount of Spirit Stones for a chance to join the sect. This serves as one of the sect’s annual revenue-generating sources from recruiting disciples.”

“Anything else? Is that all? None of these quite fit the Chao Tian Sect.”@@novelbin@@

“Hmm…” Fat Long pondered for a moment before hesitantly saying, “Well, there is one—exterminating Evil Demons and seizing their resources. The sect usually sends someone ahead to scout the location, then the disciples form small teams to strike. Half of the loot goes to the disciples, and half to the sect.”

“How do you determine if someone is an Evil Demon?”

“Judge by mouth.”

“Pretty good.”

Chen Qiu smiled contentedly: “This sounds more in line with the future developmental direction of the Chao Tian Sect. Let’s proceed in this direction. Once out, I’ll consider a breakthrough to Nascent Soul.”

Then, noticing the fluctuation of Spiritual Energy around Fat Long, he spoke with mild surprise: “Your Cultivation speed is not slow at all. You’ve reached the eighth level of Foundation Establishment.”

“Yeah.”

Fat Long said somewhat helplessly: “With a Golden Core fifth-level Witch and an entry with nine times the dual Cultivation speed, if I hadn’t reached the eighth level of Foundation Establishment in just over twenty days, I would have truly embarrassed Brother Qiu.”

“The scholar broke through to Golden Core three days ago.”

…

After twenty to thirty days, the construction and daily Formations of the Chao Tian Sect were nearly all completely repaired, much quicker than initially expected. This was due to the relentless hard work of the craftsmen day and night, and also because many Formations were abandoned and not repaired.

With some initial regrets, Chen Qiu, upon hearing about the exorbitant consumption of Spirit Stones by those daily Formations, lost all interest in repairing the main sect Formation. It would probably drain his family’s resources just running it for a day.

Since the Chao Tian Sect was not yet making an appearance in public, there was no use for the grand sect Formation.

This was quite satisfactory.

The craftsmen and Array Repairers were sent away on a Flying Boat headed for the Capital, ready to go home.

Meanwhile, the Golden Core Peak Great Perfection Cultivation experts who had been staying at the Fat City Inn these past few days were already growing impatient. For Chen Qiu, less than a month had passed in seclusion.

For them, it meant several large portions of their remaining life spans had decreased.

They were truly struggling to survive!

At this moment, this group had been brought back to Chao Tian Sect and was standing in the sect’s largest plaza, located at the Mountain Gate.

These old men, absolute powerhouses in their own right within their respective forces, now stood shoulder to shoulder in three rows like new disciples just starting their path, their faces exceedingly stern as they waited for Chen Qiu’s speech from the platform.

Yet there was still a trace of astonishment beneath those stern faces.

Hadn’t it been just over twenty days?

How had their Sect Master suddenly reached the Golden Core Peak Great Perfection Cultivation? Although they knew the Sect Master had cultivated rapidly since his rise, wasn’t this a bit too fast?

They had spent a lifetime to achieve the Golden Core Peak Great Perfection Cultivation.

Had the Sect Master covered the distance of their lifetimes in just over two months?

Wasn’t that a bit exaggerated?

But they felt a bit more reassured now, one of the biggest reasons they joined the Chao Tian Sect was the chance to leave Da Xia and extend their life spans by breaking through to Nascent Soul, but they were also quite excited about the unfamiliar Xuantian Continent.

If they had a powerful Sect Master to cover for them, that would be nothing short of perfect.

…

“…”

Chen Qiu stood on the high platform in the Chao Tian Sect plaza, his hand casually placed behind his back as he looked down at these old men. Though they appeared frail due to age, they mostly possessed the powerful Golden Core Peak Great Perfection Cultivation, hosting formidable power within them.

A total of 57 people, 38 of whom had reached Golden Core Peak Great Perfection, the rest also possessing their own unique strengths late in Golden Core and in the middle stages of Golden Core.

This was the first batch of disciples for his Chao Tian Sect.

Oh, and also a group of brown bears.

He turned his head toward the stands of two hundred-plus brown bears, standing in line and boldly displaying loyalty — literally; the word “loyalty” was written in black charcoal on their faces.

This group of brown bears was a pleasant surprise.

Upon travelling to Fei City, he had seen Zhao Yishi and over two hundred expectant Bear Demons waiting outside the city. After learning their intentions, he did not refuse this dishonest wealth and took all the brown bears into the Chao Tian Sect.

They usually resided in the back mountain.

Along with some new sect disciples, like… Zhao Dezhu, who brought a large number of Spirit Beasts, all corralled in the back mountain. This made the back mountain seem less desolate and more lively; quite good.

Mainly, he had felt indifferent about whether to accept these two hundred brown bears when a young brown bear stepped forward and convinced him with a single sentence.

“A future Immortal King’s small world definitely needs some adorable pets.”
