Chapter 134: Chapter 135 Cute Laborers

The sect was filled with an air of peace and harmony.

Li Xiaobai stayed at the Immortal Feather Sect for a few more days. During this time, the disciples gradually got used to the presence of the hard laborers.

Seeing the once high and mighty evil cultivators now relegated to cleaning the toilets, all the disciples felt a great sense of schadenfreude.

The evil cultivators, too, were getting used to their new jobs.

Inside the latrine.

One disciple, who wished to remain anonymous, had just finished his business and suddenly discovered he was out of paper, his face turned pale – which was really embarrassing, given he still needed to rush to take a bath.

It was at this moment that a hoarse but powerful voice said,

“Ahem, young master, seems like you’ve run out of paper. I have a roll here, take it and use it.”

A roll of paper was pushed through the gap under the door, and the male disciple was overjoyed, “Thank you so much!”

Half a minute later, the door of the latrine swung open, and the male disciple walked out looking refreshed. Honestly, the service from the sect’s evil cultivators was spot-on, very considerate.

After seeing the disciple off, an elderly cultivator at the Divinity Transformation Stage looked excited and hurriedly jogged to Ergouzi, who was supervising nearby, his expression ingratiating.

“Lord Ergouzi, you saw that, right? It was I who handed the paper in, and my service attitude was very good. That disciple was satisfied, so, could I perhaps get an extra point?”

Ergouzi’s tail was wagging high with pride. The adoration was truly pleasing, and he huffed, “Not bad, Blood Demon, you get an extra point. Your total for this week is thirteen points, the highest among them. The rest of you should learn from him.”

Blood Demon’s face brightened, “Thank you, Lord Ergouzi!”

This points system was something Li Xiaobai had set up especially for the hard laborers a couple of days earlier.

If they completed their assigned tasks diligently each day, they would earn one point. If they performed exceptionally well, they would get an additional point.

Hard laborers who accumulated a hundred points could escape their toilsome fate and follow Li Xiaobai back to the Holy Demon Sect to do easy work, such as running a shop as an assistant.

For the evil cultivator laborers, this was an excellent opportunity for a comeback.

After several days of harsh societal lessons, they had come to terms with reality. With their cultivation level sealed, they were even worse off than ordinary people. Staying in the latrine offered no future; only by following the boss and joining the management would they reach the pinnacle of life.

“Next time, come to me for extra points. That darned dog is so silly, he can’t count past ten,” Ji Wuqing said with dissatisfaction, speaking lightly.

“Woof! What a crappy chicken, Lord Ergouzi here is more than enough. Go stay wherever it’s cool for you!”

“Kikiki, silly dog, I won’t stoop to your level. My people will certainly reach a hundred points before yours do,” Wuqing retorted.

“Woof, impossible! Lord Ergouzi’s men never slack off. From today onward, you’re not allowed to sleep, eat, or get sick. You all have to reach a hundred points within three days!”

Several old men instantly looked tearful. It was already hard enough cleaning the latrines, but now Li Xiaobai had thrown in two clowns.

It seemed like this chicken and dog were sent by the heavens to punish them.

…

Inside the bathhouse, Li Xiaobai was soaking comfortably. It had been transformed into a super large bathhouse and was already overcrowded.

Even after constructing several large bathhouses in the past few days, they were still packed to capacity.

There was no choice; the temptation of speeding up their cultivation was too great, the effectiveness so much better than cultivating with spirit stones by who knew how many folds.

Therefore, many disciples didn’t care about the cost of spirit stones and chose to cultivate overnight in the bathhouses.

The Elder Disciples soaked in the pool, looking extremely content, and although they weren’t talking to each other, the distance between them was gradually closing.

The previously unapproachable genius disciples were now soaking with everyone else in the bathhouse, making the others realize that these geniuses were actually quite approachable. Some bold cultivators even started cracking jokes.

After noticing that the geniuses didn’t mind, everyone’s affection for the Sect’s True Disciples greatly increased.

Each bathhouse was surrounded by shops selling Huazi, all exceedingly popular. Huazi was a fine thing indeed.

It was not only able to cleanse the impurities of the internal organs but also had the effect of purifying the Primordial Spirit, bringing clarity of thought and a deepened understanding of Cultivation Techniques—a treasure in high demand.

Every day, disciples would line up early in the morning with Spirit Stones to buy Huazi.

The brothers and sisters from Misty Peak monopolized a shop each, and how much they sold each day depended on how many Huazi they had drawn for themselves.

Sometimes they would draw a satisfying amount and simply close the shop, leaving the disciples feeling helpless.

“I never imagined Immortal Feather Sect would produce such a prodigy, and those few from Misty Peak too, with their deep and silent accumulation of strength, now unstoppable, with cultivation levels far surpassing ours—it truly is a blessing for our sect!” The Sect Leader mused while soaking in the bathhouse.

Feng Wuxie still felt bitter about it beside him.

He hadn’t expected to miss out on securing the treasure and now had to rely on others to help the Sect develop even further, which was really annoying.

“Hehe, Immortal Feather Sect giving us the opportunity to cultivate is a great blessing. A small contribution in return isn’t really anything worth mentioning.”

“Now as the Peak Master of Holy Demon Sect’s Misty Peak, whatever good resources we have will be sent over through the Teleportation Formation. I believe it won’t be long before our Sect becomes one of the great powers!”

Li Xiaobai said.

This wasn’t baseless talk; the variety and abundance of items in the marketplace meant that even a slight exchange of resources could greatly strengthen the Sect.

From now on, his Spirit Stones would only increase, and improving the cultivation levels of Sect Disciples was only a matter of time.

“Thank you, Junior Brother Li,” Feng Wuxie said dryly.

“No problem, no problem…”

…

After several days, when the Teleportation Formation was completed, Li Xiaobai felt that everyone seemed somewhat reluctant to return.

Especially the brothers and sisters from Misty Peak, who seemed to have a tendency to seclude themselves with Huazi for cultivation after he provided a large supply of it.

“Brothers, sisters, it’s time to head back to Holy Demon Sect, we still have to visit that Secret Realm!”

“You go back first, Junior Brother, I’m drawing Huazi,” they said indifferently. With Huazi in hand, they were no longer so concerned about everything else.

Li Xiaobai was speechless, and casually picked a few well-behaved Evil Cultivators to step onto the Teleportation Formation. Of course, he didn’t forget to drag out Ergouzi and Ji Wuqing as well.

These two had been spending all their time in the latrine and were now reeking to high heaven.

But they seemed to be enjoying themselves and were very dissatisfied when forcefully dragged out.

“Woof, kid, what’s the rush? Your Lord Ergouzi only gave half of today’s lecture. These people need a good lesson every three days; it’s time to straighten them out properly!”

“Cluck, cluck, indeed, I haven’t even assigned them their tasks yet!”
