Xuan Tian Continent, Star Soul Sect!
Ye Feng stared blankly at the crowd around him, dressed in strange and unusual clothing. His mind was completely reeling.
Who am I?
Where am I?
Wasn't I just pulling an all-nighter gaming at home?
Boom!
Just then, a flood of unfamiliar memories surged into his mind, and a trace of pain flickered across Ye Feng's face.
A moment later.
A wry smile appeared on Ye Feng's face. He realized he had freaking transmigrated, and into a fantasy world where martial arts reigned supreme.
... ...
"Star Soul Sect, a new sect established here half a month ago. The Sect Master's strength is unknown."
"Today is the day the Star Soul Sect recruits disciples for the first time. Even though it's a newly established sect, it has still attracted hundreds of young men and women. Everyone wants to embark on the path of cultivation here."
Thinking this, Ye Feng didn't hesitate in the slightest and turned around, preparing to leave.
Without even a Golden Finger, why bother joining some sect? He definitely needed to find a place to lie low for two years first and see if a Golden Finger would appear.
Boom!
However, at that very moment, a terrifying aura that seized one's soul descended abruptly. Forget walking, under this terrifying pressure, even twitching a finger felt like an extravagant hope.
Looking up, a long-haired woman in a white dress and a white-haired old man in a black Daoist robe descended, stepping through the air. In an instant, they appeared before everyone.
"I, Luo Qianxue, am the Sect Master of the Star Soul Sect!"
"Today, we are recruiting sect disciples. We look not at aptitude, not at age, and not at cultivation base!"
Hearing this, the eyes of the crowd below lit up. Weren't these their biggest worries? If these factors weren't considered, no matter how strict the requirements were, they felt they had a high chance of joining the sect.
Not to mention, the Sect Master was actually a peerless beauty!
Coldly elegant and noble, untainted by the mortal world!
Ye Feng looked up at Luo Qianxue, clad in snow-white robes, and couldn't help but sigh, "As expected of another world. This woman is countless times better than those top celebrities from my previous life. Whether it's appearance or temperament, it's simply an overwhelming advantage[1]!"
"There is only one requirement to enter my Star Soul Sect: hand over ten thousand low-grade Spirit Stones."
"You have only one hour. As long as you can produce ten thousand low-grade Spirit Stones to hand over to the sect, you can join my Star Soul Sect."
Luo Qianxue looked down at the hundreds of young men and women below and directly stated the sole requirement for entry.
"What?"
"Did I hear that right? Hand over ten thousand low-grade Spirit Stones? Are you kidding? One low-grade Spirit Stone is enough for my family to eat and drink well for a month."
"If I had ten thousand low-grade Spirit Stones, would I come here to try my luck? I would have just found any sect to test my talent and examine my Spirit Root long ago."
"Let's go, let's go. This Star Soul Sect is fundamentally a scam sect. What use is it if the Sect Master is pretty? I don't have ten thousand low-grade Spirit Stones."
As Luo Qianxue's words fell, many among the hundreds of young men and women below showed expressions of anger, feeling like they had been tricked. However, they merely grumbled and complained, not daring to question her.
After all, in the eyes of cultivators, the lives of ordinary people like them were like weeds. If things went wrong, their lives might be forfeit right here.
"What kind of entry requirement is this? Are the big shots in other worlds all black-hearted merchants?"
Ye Feng was also stunned by this entry requirement. It made him think, if this were his previous life, wouldn't it be like going to work in a factory, not earning a single penny yet, but having to cough up ten thousand first? Who the hell would do that? Only an idiot would do it!
"Ding! Invincible Prodigal System activated!"
Hm?
Just as Ye Feng was about to leave with the crowd, a cold voice suddenly sounded in his mind.
He was just thinking about lying low for two years, and the Golden Finger arrived so quickly?
But, what the heck is an Invincible Prodigal System?
Ye Feng paused his steps and directly asked in his mind, "System, are you there? Tell me about yourself."
"Ding! Host, even if you die, the System will always exist."
Uh!
Hearing this, Ye Feng's face instantly darkened. He felt this System's emotional intelligence needed improvement.
"Ding! Host, as the name suggests, as long as you continuously act prodigally, you can continuously become stronger in the current world. You just focus on being a prodigal; leave the rest entirely to the System."
Name: Ye Feng Age: 18 Realm: Mortal Physique: Mortal Body Martial Skills: None Divine Abilities: None Items: None Prodigal Points: 0 Today's Prodigal Items: First Grade, Ninth Rank Heavenly Thunder Talisman * 10,000
At this time, a light screen suddenly appeared before Ye Feng's eyes, clearly displaying his current situation.
"Ding! The System will infinitely provide circulating currencies of this world such as Spirit Stones, Spirit Crystals, Immortal Spirit Crystals, etc., of various grades. Please grasp the meaning of being prodigal, Host. Spending too little on anything does not count as being prodigal; spending too much is idiotic. Only by spending Spirit Stones, Spirit Crystals, etc., in a perfectly appropriate manner will you earn Prodigal Points. Otherwise, a certain amount of Prodigal Points will be deducted."
"Ding! Completing random tasks issued by the System can also earn a certain amount of Prodigal Points."
"Ding! Spending all of the daily Prodigal Items will also earn Prodigal Points. If they are not completely spent, corresponding Prodigal Points will be deducted."
"Ding! Prodigal Points can be used to upgrade the Host's realm, Martial Skill proficiency, draw for Divine Abilities, special items, etc."
Hmm!
Hearing the System's successive prompts, Ye Feng fell into thought. He realized that while this system was powerful, it wasn't simple.
Especially the first reminder, which made Ye Feng recall a famous saying from his previous life: I may be rich, but I'm not stupid!
"Ding! Issuing task: Join the Star Soul Sect. Task success: Reward 100 Prodigal Points. Task failure: Deduct 100 Prodigal Points. Can be refused."
Uh!
The task suddenly issued by the System interrupted Ye Feng's contemplation. But he just wanted to ask, did this freaking task even offer a choice?
High above.
The white-haired old man looked at Luo Qianxue beside him with a wry smile and said, "Miss, these children are all from poor families in the nearby towns and villages. Forget ten thousand low-grade Spirit Stones, they might not even be able to produce one. It's impossible to recruit sect disciples like this."
"Elder Bai, I only wish to cultivate wholeheartedly. Unfortunately, Father insisted I go out for training and even establish a sect, euphemistically calling it tempering my State of Mind, but I detest these trivial matters the most."
"Forget developing the sect, even guiding disciples will affect my cultivation. In short, it's not my fault if no one joins the sect. Even if Father finds out, he can't blame me."
After speaking, a smile finally appeared on Luo Qianxue's icy face, but a murderous glint flashed through her eyes.
"Great Void Sword Sect, Penglai Immortal Island, Heavenly Martial Sect, just you wait. When I Undergo Tribulation and return to the Upper Realm, I will definitely inform Master about you ambushing me. If I don't annihilate you, I, Luo Qianxue, swear not to live![2]"
No one knew that Luo Qianxue was not only the beloved daughter[3] of Luo Wuming, the Sect Master of the Xuan Tian Continent's Xingji Sect, but also the Saintess from the Upper Realm's Limitless Sacred Land!
"Elder Bai, let's go. It's impossible for anyone to produce ten thousand low-grade Spirit Stones. Even if someone could, they wouldn't hand them over just to join my newly established Star Soul Sect."
Saying this, Luo Qianxue turned around, preparing to leave.
"Sect Master, the sect has just been established and must be short on funds. This disciple wishes to hand over one hundred thousand low-grade Spirit Stones!"
???
Luo Qianxue and Elder Bai, who were just about to leave, heard the voice from below. Both turned their heads, eyes wide, finding it hard to believe that someone was actually willing to hand over the stones, and ten times the amount at that!
