Building a sect from scratch.

Chapter 399 The Daily Life of a Night Owl
"Oh dear! Why think so much? Let's have some tea first!"

A group of night owls, in a lighthearted tone, cheerfully pulled a cup of milk tea from their storage bag and handed it to Song Bozheng, saying, "I heard from the soup dumpling master that you really like wax apple honey tea, so I just brought you a cup on my way! Hehe!"

The sudden sadness that had risen in Song Bozheng's heart was instantly washed away by the actions of the owl. This disciple of the Taiyin Sect showed no fear of death on his face, his expression was nonchalant, and the wide-open corners of his mouth made his smile even look a bit silly, like... like a child who did not know the ways of the world.

Song Bozheng was somewhat stunned.

He suddenly realized that it seemed that all the disciples of the Taiyin Sect who always called themselves players were like this, without any fear of life and death—not life and death in the Guixu Realm, but the life and death they would truly face in the Blue Star Realm.

In their conversations, it seemed that living only a hundred years was no big deal, and their pursuit of immortality was not as obsessive and fearful as that of cultivators like themselves.

why?

"Hey? Master Song? Aren't you going to drink?"

It was probably because Song Bozheng's hand, which was holding the milk tea, had been frozen in mid-air for a long time, and he had been in a daze. A group of night owls asked in confusion.

"Ah, no, no, I just like this one. Thank you so much, it's really kind of you," Song Bozheng said, somewhat flustered, before skillfully tearing open the paper cup and smiling as he said, "Then I'll accept it!"

"Hey! Don't be so polite!"

As the night owl spoke, he counted out ten-yuan talismans for the moon and placed them on the table beside him.

"I'll leave the money here!"

Then, he excitedly went to pick up his "Mandarin Duck Pot Alchemy Furnace," which was nominally an "alchemy furnace" but functionally a pot. However, he did not expect that the pot was so heavy that he could not lift it even with great effort!
Song Bozheng smiled and suggested, "You should use your spiritual power. This pot has been infused with heavy iron and weighs over two hundred pounds."

"Holy crap! Over two hundred pounds!"

The night owl was startled—this was exactly the same weight as him, this fat otaku, in real life!
However, he quickly became conflicted again, looked up at Song Bozheng, and awkwardly scratched his head: "Hehehe, this... I, I don't know how to control objects with spiritual power..."

Song Bozheng: "?"

A question mark seemed to appear above Song Bozheng's head. He looked over with disbelief and asked with difficulty, "Then, how do you control your spiritual power after you establish your foundation?"

"I did reach Foundation Establishment, but..." A clump of night owls swallowed hard, its voice suddenly dropping to a very low hue as it whispered in protest, "But that wasn't just reaching a certain level and directly unlocking Foundation Establishment, what does it have to do with spiritual power..."

Song Bozheng: "..."

He knew that few disciples of the Taiyin Sect cultivated independently; most did miscellaneous tasks, and then the Taiyin Goddess would bestow blessings upon them, thus giving the puppets they controlled a certain level of cultivation. This allowed these "players" to possess abilities similar to real cultivators. This system also made the cultivation process of these Taiyin Sect disciples not only ridiculously short but also incredibly easy, making them the envy of many!
However, when they thought about how these Taiyin Sect disciples could not take anything with them, no matter how much they cultivated, whether it was their cultivation level or spiritual power, and could only maintain a lifespan of a hundred years, the group of cultivators who had worked hard but made little progress felt much more at ease... what a load of rubbish!
No one could stand having a group of "geniuses" who could reach the Foundation Establishment stage in just a few days hanging around in front of them!
What's even more outrageous is that these geniuses look at you with blank expressions, showing an idiotic look as if they've never heard of things that they should naturally learn through normal cultivation!

Just like this guy in front of me right now, what's his name, Night Owl!

"Ugh……"

I may feel resentful, but they are still my customers, and I can't just ignore them.

Song Bozheng sighed and asked, "Then what should we do? How about I take you to your place? Is it far? Is it in Chang'an?"

"No, no, no need! It's not in Chang'an! It's quite far. I'm currently living in Wuwang City... Uh, wait a minute, let me try the system inventory!"

As he spoke, the owl grabbed the two handles of the double-sided alchemy furnace with both hands, focused its energy on its dantian, and began to struggle with it... cough, no, it opened its system inventory and tried to put it into its inventory.

Fortunately, although the pot was heavy, it wasn't too big. In the blink of an eye, it was easily slipped into the backpack by a night owl.

"Done! Um, thank you so much, boss! I'm so grateful for your help! I...I'll be going now!"

This night owl always made a huge fool of himself at Song Bozheng's place, so embarrassed he felt like he was digging a villa out of his boot. After finally putting away the pot, he hurriedly and stammered goodbye, then quickly walked out of the small house without looking back.

It's actually quite a distance from Chang'an City to Wuwang City. If it weren't for a few night owls who hitched a ride on the Haoqi Changcun Sheyi dungeon a few times a few days ago, gained experience, and had already reached the Foundation Establishment stage, they probably wouldn't have been able to teleport there in one go on their own.

However, for him now, the amount of mana (spiritual energy) is enough for him to teleport.

The Wuwang City at this time is much more lively than Chang'an City.

Although there aren't many players in Wuwang City, there are NPCs in large groups, especially in the Naba Sea area, where they are almost shoulder to shoulder.

Nabahai District is the southern district of Wuwang City, and it is also the closest to the developed mines. It was specially designated by the Haoqi Changcun community for the Nabahai tribe to live in after discussion. Of course, houses still need to be registered and built by themselves.

During this period, the scale of the entire Wuwang City expanded several times. In addition to the Nabahai District, there were more than a dozen districts of varying sizes, such as the Erlechun District, Qitamu District, and Fasu District. The largest was tens of square miles, while the smallest was only a few square miles.

The Naba Sea region is a relatively large region with a large population, mostly inhabited by the Naba Sea people from the Arctic River Island.

However, unlike other districts, the Naba Sea District is extremely prosperous in commerce, with shops every three steps and restaurants every five. The people of Liuzhou, who have suffered for a thousand years, seem to have no sense of crisis at all. They always spend their money on food and drink. Wuwang City has become the city with the highest consumption of alcohol under the rule of Taiyin Sect. The Naba Sea District alone sends a lot of alcohol every day, attracting people from other Liuzhou districts in the vicinity to come and eat and drink. In just half a month, the siphon effect of the Naba Sea District has made this area the most prosperous area in the entire Wuwang City.
