My Disciples are Too Idiotic

Luo Yuan hadn't yet recovered from his tragic encounter. For him, from the moment he made that Heavenly Dao Oath, there was no turning back.

How could he turn back? The Sect Leader and the others probably already guessed it was him; perhaps they are already outside looking for him, right?

A bitter chuckle escaped him.

The despair of this moment had already left Luo Yuan completely at a loss.

"This Non-player Character is Luo Yuan, right? What's he standing around here for?"

"Who knows? Let's calm him down first. Little Boss and the others have already gone to make some delicious food."

"Can someone bring some wine over here? This kind of thing calls for drinks, doesn't it? Once we're drinking, we'll all find out what's going on."

"He looks like a man with a story. I've got some wine here. Come on, tell us your story."

"..."

The Players crowded around, completely surrounding Luo Yuan.

Luo Yuan's face was full of despair, and he was too preoccupied to pay any mind to the Players around him.

He had even already thought about how he would die!

Seeing this, the Players were also puzzled, asking, "Brother, what's going on with you? We're all on the same side here. Just say what you want to say, and we'll help you figure it out."

Luo Yuan continued to ignore them.

The Players also knew this Task wasn't easy to handle. After all, with the Non-player Character being so uncooperative, they were somewhat at their wits' end.

They couldn't just threaten him, right? That would be a joke. If they did, they'd definitely be resented. Then how would they complete the Task?

Lin Chen arrived inside the Profound Yellow Sect along with Junlin and his team. The Players, however, didn't have time to greet Lin Chen. Clearly, dealing with this Non-player Character named Luo Yuan was the top priority.

Upon arriving at the Profound Yellow Sect, Lin Chen was stimulated by the rich Spiritual Qi. The entire vicinity of the Profound Yellow Sect was shrouded in dense Spiritual Qi. It gathered and lingered without dissipating, even condensing into a layer of Spiritual Liquid on the ground beneath their feet. He had only been there a short while and already felt his Realm starting to loosen.

Not just him, but Zhang Yuan and the others felt the same. They were all shocked by such a scene.

A few breaths later, Lin Chen's eyes suddenly widened.

"I've broken through!"

Lin Chen directly advanced from the Qi Cultivation Realm to the Foundation Establishment Realm, and he didn't stop there. Such dense Spiritual Qi gathered here made them all gasp.

When did such a paradise ever exist in the Northern Wilderness Territory?

"Young Master, I... I've broken through!"

"I've broken through too! I thought I had no hope of reaching the Foundation Establishment Realm in this lifetime, but it happened in just a short while!"

"Me too! The Spiritual Qi here is incredibly dense. Even the powerful factions in the Northern Wilderness probably don't have Spiritual Qi this dense."

"If I stay here for a few years with proper Cultivation Techniques, not to mention the Golden Core, I'm confident I could break into the Nascent Soul Realm!"

"..."

Breaking through to the Nascent Soul Realm in just a few years? Who would believe that if it were said out loud?

For a Cultivator to break through, it isn't just about Talent! Cultivation Techniques and Spiritual Qi are both indispensable.

Here, inside the Profound Yellow Sect, as long as one has a good enough Cultivation Technique, even a pig could probably cultivate into an immortal, right? No wonder the Profound Yellow Sect Disciples are all so powerful. Surely, there is a reason for this. It's truly frightening.

Junlin hadn't expected them to break through upon arrival, but their breakthroughs were a good thing. At least this wealthy client, Lin Chen, would need them even more now. This way, the Players could earn Spiritual Stones even faster.

"You guys go take a look around. I'll take you to meet the Sect Leader later."

After saying this, Junlin rushed off to the Contribution Hall with Old Mo and the others. Now they had to pacify that Non-player Character, Luo Yuan. They couldn't miss out on this Task. Luo Yuan was connected to a subsequent large-scale team Task, and they had to get him on their side, no matter what.

In the Contribution Hall, Junlin's group pooled their money to buy some books related to Arrays and then also purchased an Array Disc named "Profound Nether God-Slaying Array." To take on the Task, they had really broken the bank.

The group squeezed into the crowd, leaving the Players who had been earnestly trying to persuade Luo Yuan quite confused.

What's going on? Why has everyone from Lingxiao Hall come?

Before they could react, Old Mo directly handed the Array Disc to Luo Yuan.

Feeling the aura of the Array, Luo Yuan, whose eyes had been lifeless, finally showed a hint of reaction. His gaze fell upon the Array Disc before him.

Huh? This Array Disc is quite peculiar! They are all lower-tier Arrays, but when combined, they rival those legendary killing Arrays!

"HOLY SHIT, the Non-player Character reacted?"

"Are you kidding me? Is he actually a materialistic Non-player Character?"

"If I had known this, I would have bought an Array Disc directly. This Non-player Character is just too materialistic! Wasted half a day talking to him."

"I instantly lost my good impression of this Non-player Character. Guys, should we even continue with this Task?"

"..."

Seeing Luo Yuan's reaction, Junlin then handed over the books on Arrays.

A light suddenly sparked in Luo Yuan's eyes. It felt as if the gloom from just before had been completely swept away in this moment.

Junlin said, "Brother, if you have any grievances, just speak out. We're all friends here, and we will surely sort it out for you!"

Old Mo wrapped an arm around Luo Yuan's shoulders and said with a laugh, "We from Lingxiao Hall are quite powerful. Just say the word, and we'll back you up!"

Luo Yuan looked at the few people in front of him, a strange look in his eyes.

What do these people want? Offering kindness for no reason? They're either crooks or thieves! He had suffered enough tragedy for one day, having been cruelly tricked by Xu Nian. Were these disciples from this sect now trying to trick him too?

Thinking this, Luo Yuan's expression darkened.

"Don't look at us like that!" Old Mo patted his shoulder and said, "If you've got troubles, spill the beans. We'll all have a good laugh about it together, and then help you sort it out. Wouldn't that be great?"

Hmm? You'll have a good laugh while I'm talking about my troubles?

A muscle in Luo Yuan's face twitched, and he suddenly felt hostility toward the entire Profound Yellow Sect.

What kind of Ghost Sect is this? Do they have to make such a scene over every little thing?

"My problem is something you can't solve!" Luo Yuan spoke gravely. "I've offended a presence that can easily obliterate you all. Can you help me with that? They could kill all of you with just a look."

At these words, the Players burst into laughter.

That's it? You've been sulking over something like this for so long?

Old Mo said, at a loss whether to laugh or cry, "Brother, you're underestimating us. In our Profound Yellow Sect, there's nothing we can't handle!"

Luo Yuan was silent, looking at them as if they were fools.

The Great Dream Immortal Sect could flatten your Profound Yellow Sect with one hand if they wished! Don't you even think before you brag?

"To put it bluntly, it's a matter of Power. This place has beautiful mountains and clear waters; isn't it perfect for you to cultivate and improve?" Old Mo said with a smile. "I'm not bragging, Brother, but your concerns are unnecessary. So what if the enemy is strong? If you boost your Power here and become the Number One in the World, won't your enemies stand no chance against you?"

Eh? That idea... It doesn't sound bad, actually.

A sharp gleam flashed in Luo Yuan's eyes.

What he feared now was members of the Great Dream Immortal Sect coming after him. But if he just stayed hidden within the Profound Yellow Sect, wouldn't he have no worries? The Sect Leader and the others have no idea where the Profound Yellow Sect is located. And with his Talent, breaking through Realms would be a breeze. Why not just keep cultivating here? Then, he could achieve Ascension in one go—who would dare to bother him then? The Great Dream Immortal Sect? To hell with them! I'm a member of the Profound Yellow Sect now!

"Thank you, I understand!" Luo Yuan looked gratefully at Old Mo and the others, then took the Array Disc and the array manuals, and hurried toward the Great Hall.

The members of Lingxiao Hall also received the completion notice for the Task, along with a new one.

[Task: Inheritance of the Profound Nether Immortal Emperor.]

[Description: The inheritance of the Profound Nether Immortal Emperor will appear in three days. As one of the forces of the Northern Wilderness, the Profound Yellow Sect is eligible to participate. Please claim the inheritance of the Profound Nether Immortal Emperor in the competition.]

[Reward: 5,000 Contribution Points.]

Upon seeing this Reward, Junlin and his team were stunned. Five thousand Contribution Points? This has to be the highest Reward ever! With 5,000 Contribution Points in hand, all of them could directly break through their Realms, and Lingxiao Hall's overall Power would ascend to another level! This is a massive leap!

"HOLY SHIT, a Task with a Reward of 5,000 Contribution Points?" Old Mo couldn't help but scream.

His outcry left the other Players standing there, dumbstruck.

"What's going on? This Task has a Reward of 5,000 Contribution Points?"

"HOLY COW, if I had known the Task Reward was this high, I would have bought an Array Disc straight away."

"What now? The Reward for a large-scale team Task is so high, should we participate?"

"Lord Junlin, should we form a team? There's strength in numbers!"

"..."

The Players, upon hearing about the 5,000 Contribution Points, felt their eyes burn with envy.

It's pure envy and jealousy! How can they get such high Rewards when we're all Players? We've worked so hard, and for what? Nothing?

Lingxiao Hall's Power was plain for all Players to see; after all, they were a genuine hub for High-level Players. However, this was a large-scale team Task. Could they complete it relying on just their Hall?

Junlin was also pondering. The Reward of 5,000 Contribution Points is indeed a windfall. If possible, we really want to take it all for ourselves. But since the System emphasized it's a large-scale team Task, Lingxiao Hall alone probably has a slim chance of completing it. After all, this time we have to compete with other Non-player Characters. This is a big problem.

"We could cooperate, but we spent Contribution Points to acquire this Task," Junlin said, not missing the chance to drive a hard bargain.

Upon hearing this, I, Xuanqing, quickly spoke up, "How about a participation fee of 500 Contribution Points? With so many Players, you guys are going to make a mint!"

Five hundred per person... if a thousand people join, that's half a million Contribution Points! The members of Lingxiao Hall would make an absolute killing! And for the other Players? Spending 500 Contribution Points for a chance to earn 5,000... it's not a loss!

"Alright, let's do as you say!" Junlin agreed promptly. "Actually, I was thinking of a participation fee of 100 Contribution Points. I didn't expect you all to be so rich."

Upon hearing this, I, Xuanqing, suddenly shivered. The surrounding Players were glaring daggers.

Damn it! We've been duped!

His hasty offer meant the Players would needlessly waste an extra four hundred Contribution Points each. For Players, that was a fortune. Contribution Points weren't easily gained. Wasting even a little would make some Players feel extremely pained. Four hundred Contribution Points was enough for them to die forty times!

That damn Xuanqing, why did he have to be so quick to speak? Couldn't he have waited a moment?
