Building a sect from scratch.

However, out of respect for his senior brother, Immortal Si Yin took a deep breath, used his spiritual power, and shouted, "Fang Xianyu! You killed a disciple of my Taiyi Ziwei Sect! You imprisoned an elder of my sect! What is the meaning of this?! Have you lost your mind?!"

Don't be fooled by the Immortal Si Yin's tough talk; his meaning is quite clear: 'Can we talk?'

However, the majestic voice, when contrasted with the repeated shouts from the Taiyin Sect, actually sounded somewhat comical.

That's right, the announcements playing on a loop from the Taiyin Sect haven't stopped—

"The Yin and Yang factions! Two treacherous villains! They've committed countless evil deeds! They've lost all conscience!"

"You oppress cultivators! You harm the common people! In order to save your own lives..."

"You have committed countless evil deeds! You are utterly devoid of conscience!"

……

"Many elders of your Taiyi Ziwei Sect have used despicable methods to harm True Person Pinglin and drive away Immortal Wantong," Fang Xianyu replied, also using his spiritual power. "But True Person Pinglin's disciples are now considered citizens of my Taiyin Sect in Chang'an City. What's wrong with seeking justice for them?"

Immortal Si Yin was stunned, never expecting that the Taiyin Sect would actually stand up for True Person Pinglin. He was speechless for a moment before saying, "True Person Pinglin was killed because of an accident while guarding the remains of the Zhu Xiang clan. Fellow Daoist, have you misunderstood something..."

Before Si Yin Xianren could make any more excuses, Fang Xianyu mocked, "Whether it's a misunderstanding or not, you don't need to use euphemisms. You said they stole the Ziwei Sect's treasures back then, but now you're downplaying it by saying they either died unexpectedly or not. Your Ziwei Sect elders are quite flexible and changeable in their bottom line!"

Upon hearing this, the Immortal Si Yin hesitated for a moment before finally saying, "Fellow Daoist, have you been misled by some slanderous words? I am also deeply saddened by what happened to Fellow Daoist Ping Lin. However, Fellow Daoist Ping Lin's body was barely cold when his Ping Lin Peak was swept away by some treacherous and ungrateful person. Fellow Daoist Ping Lin's hundreds of years of hard work were destroyed in an instant. Such despicable behavior is absolutely untrustworthy!"

"There's no need to distort the truth. Your sect's Qianzhi Zhenren, who abandoned darkness for light, has also told my Taiyin Sect the details. Siyin, you know very well what really happened!"

As soon as Fang Xianyu finished speaking, Si Yin Xianren saw a familiar figure riding the wind on the largest flying boat in the distance. It was none other than Qianzhi Zhenren, who had disappeared without a trace yesterday and led all the disciples of Qianzhi Baicao Peak to betray Taiyi Ziwei Sect!

"You good-for-nothing Qianzhi! I have always believed that the Taiyi Ziwei Sect has treated you well. Despite your origins in the Penglai Sect and your defection, we invited you to join our sect and gave you a peak. I never expected that you would betray us again!"

The Immortal Si Yin almost gritted his teeth: "Sect Master Fang, aren't you afraid that before long, this vile woman will betray the Taiyin Sect again, claiming the surname of three and passing through three sects?!"

As the gossip unfolded, the players burst into laughter, their shouts almost drowning out the voice-over that had been playing on repeat as background music.

"This is hilarious! 'Claiming three surnames'? A cultivation version of a slave to three surnames? Hahahaha..."

"I have been wandering for half my life, and I only regret that I have never met a wise master. If you don't abandon me, I am willing to be your adoptive father!"

"My dear son! Let me hear your voice twice first!"

"Get out! Get out!" "I'll call him! I'll call him! My surname is really Lü! If something happens to you after I call him, don't blame me! Last time I joked with my colleague, he got into a car accident the next day!"

"Damn it, then stop yelling!"

"I'll call you that! Godfather! Godfather!"

"Holy crap! Holy crap! Shut up!!!"

Lu Wenyuan and Chaoyan, who had come with their senior sisters and uncles to watch the drama unfold, didn't know the "godfather" meme. However, having spent a lot of time with the players, they roughly knew it was a funny thing. So, they casually tugged at the jovial players next to them and asked, "What do 'three-surname slave' and 'godfather' mean? What's the meaning of these memes on your planet?"

The player recognized the person asking the question and was startled to find there was no ID tag above their head: "Holy crap! NPCs can come to the timed battlefield?! This isn't right!?"

Asagao quickly explained, "We used to be from Pinglin Peak of the Ziwei Sect, we're the aggrieved ones! We came to see... cough, to seek justice!"

Lu Wenyuan patted his chest and said, "That's right! We are witnesses! By the way, what exactly did you mean by 'three-surname slave'?"

The player was still skeptical—who asks for the meaning of a joke before seeking justice?! And your expression doesn't look like you're seeking justice at all! Your gloating, gossipy eyes betray you both!

"Well, we're really curious and want to know, so I'll give you a task. The reward is..." Chaoyan skillfully rummaged through her Qiankun bag and pulled out a small, golden pouch and a milk tea cup with "Duck Milk Tea" printed on it: "Ah, this! This! A low-level Qiankun bag! They sell for several dollars outside! I'll give you a huge discount! I'll sell it to you for only 10 silver! It comes with a free cup of wax apple lemon tea! How about it?"

Low-level Qiankun Bag!
They look even better than the ones sold in the sect's store!

The player's eyes lit up immediately: "Wow! Zun Du is fake Du!?"

Lu Wenyuan grabbed the small purse, stuffed it into the player's arms, and urged, "Here, take this first, tell me quickly!"

"Ah, okay, okay! This 'godfather' trope is about a hapless kid in our planet's history named Lü Bu. Although he was handsome and highly skilled in martial arts, whoever he recognized as his godfather died very quickly, so..."

The player frantically pulled out 10 silver coins, clutched the small golden pouch, sipped his milk tea, and patiently began telling the story of the Three Kingdoms. However, he felt a little guilty because it was such a great deal, and even wished he could start the story from when Cao Cao was breastfeeding.

Jiao Xueling, who witnessed this scene from a short distance away, twitched her lips, looking rather helpless.

That small golden pouch was something she took with her when she looted Pinglin Peak's inheritance. She later distributed it to Lü Wenyuan and Chaoyan. It was one of the thousands of low-grade Qiankun bags accumulated in Pinglin Peak's storeroom. Most of them were made by Pinglin Peak disciples when they first reached the Foundation Establishment stage, then left to gather dust in the storeroom. Only when new disciples were recruited would a few be given out as a perk. Despite their glittering gold and decent fabric, they were actually quite worthless due to their large quantity. Forget 10 silver coins; even if they sold for a few hundred coins, you'd be called a swindler!
The Qiankun Bag is a basic item used in weapon crafting; almost anyone who has reached the Foundation Establishment stage can make it, so it's not valuable in most cultivation sects and factions. Only in the Taiyin Sect, because players are impatient with true cultivation and even more impatient with studying all sorts of mind-numbingly complicated scriptures, is there a shortage of available items, making the Qiankun Bag very expensive.

Furthermore, players are creatures who absolutely love scavenging; there's never enough Qiankun Bags, only an endless supply. Everyone wants to fill their system inventory slots to the brim! One genius player even sewed several Qiankun Bags together to save inventory space, creating a "Qiankun Bag Backpack," allowing multiple bags to occupy only one slot. This once ranked among the top ten best strategy posts on the official game forum! (End of Chapter)
