My junior sister sees everyone as a heretical cultivator.

Chapter 53 The Golden Autumn Harvest Festival Begins! (Seeking monthly votes! Seeking to continue reading! Seeking book recommendations!)

"Yes, senior brother, junior sister is ready. She will follow your instructions."

Then, the two walked one after the other on the path leading to the sect square.

Lin Qingfeng seemed to be in a good mood. As he walked, he spoke in a commanding tone:
"Junior sister, today's cultivation is different from usual."

coming!

Su Ling'er sneered inwardly, but verbally cooperated:
"Junior sister is confused, please enlighten me, senior brother."

"The labor of the past was a test, a foundation."

Today's work is both an opportunity and a means of enlightenment!

So tonight you not only have to work more, but you also have to compete to do more and be eager to do more!
And there will be some "special" jobs waiting for you!

If the red-named monsters that my junior brothers mentioned earlier appear in large numbers during the event, my junior sister might be able to significantly increase the sect contribution points of the NPCs this time!

Su Ling'er's heart skipped a beat.

Special job?

What does that mean?
Her mind was racing.

"Special" work...

In this sect, what good can being "special" possibly be?

Am I to be the medicinal ingredient for the "Human Essence Elixir"?

Or should I experience the taste of the "Sword Refining Technique" firsthand?

No, that's not right. Judging from his expression, it doesn't look like he's going to kill; instead, it carries a hint of pleasure and anticipation...

Special job...

She suddenly thought of the brothels and entertainment venues with red lanterns hanging in the towns and cities of the mortal world, those so-called brothels.

The jobs the women there do seem to be quite "special".

Su Ling'er's cheeks instantly turned bright red.

Animals!

This beast!

He really is a demonic sorcerer!
They tried to take liberties with me when I first entered the mountain gate, and now they want me to do this kind of thing?!
Does he intend to become the top performer in a sect like that?

But I haven't seen such a place during these days of observation. Is the sect deliberately keeping it a secret?
Definitely is!
That must be it!

With my looks and my cultivation at the Great Perfection of Qi Refining, I am absolutely top-notch in the eyes of some evil cultivators with special fetishes!
Even if I'm not naturally gifted, I still have this level of cultivation...

terrible!

terrible!

Lin Qingfeng, that skin-scratcher, is trying to squeeze every last drop of value out of himself!

"Junior sister?"

Seeing that she had stopped, Lin Qingfeng couldn't help but ask her a question in surprise.

"No, it's nothing!"

Su Ling'er quickly lowered her head and covered her face with her sleeve.
"Junior sister... Junior sister is simply reflecting on what senior brother said, and is quite shocked."

"Ruzi can be taught."

Lin Qingfeng nodded in satisfaction and continued walking forward.

Su Ling'er followed behind, her teeth almost grinding to powder.

Shocked?

I'm shocked, my foot!

Just wait!
Once I escape, I will expose the crimes of you demons to the world and call upon all righteous cultivators to join me in annihilating your demonic sect!
I'll smash this den of demons to pieces!

The sand and gravel made a "rustling" sound as I stepped on them.

But gradually, Su Ling'er's ears picked up a discordant note.

A faint, intermittent drumbeat could be heard coming from afar.

They walked around a patch of jagged, strange rocks.

In an instant, a faint red light flashed past from behind the outline of the distant mountains, tinging the clouds on the horizon with an eerie crimson hue.

The light was fleeting, like an illusion.

Su Ling'er found it strange.

What kind of bloody light did I just see?

Or is it a prelude to the activation of some forbidden technique?
As they approached the sect plaza, a figure flew overhead at high speed on a sword. The streak of light from the sword's tail left a long trail in the night sky.

Then, the second, the third...

More and more disciples gathered from all directions toward the sect square.

She glanced at them and saw an excitement on everyone's face that she couldn't quite understand.

Several figures flying by on swords also saw the senior brother and junior sister heading towards the square below.

"Oh, Junior Sister is finally awake?"

"Junior Sister slept for quite a long time this time."

"Yes, she's been sleeping all afternoon!"

"You've rested for so long! Junior Sister, you'd better get to work hard tonight!"

"Senior Brother, the thing you asked the Weapon Forging Pavilion to prepare has been taken. With this, no one will die!"

"We won't wait for you any longer. Let's go check out what interesting activities are happening!"

After giving a few more instructions to his fellow disciples, Lin Qingfeng's sword light, carrying an iron box, streaked across the night sky and quickly disappeared into the distance.

Su Ling'er listened to their conversation and felt indignant.

What do you mean, "Can't you still work?"

That's easy for you to say!
In your eyes, I, Su Ling'er, am just a working animal, right?!
What are you doing out here in the middle of the night instead of resting?!

What did the senior brother ask you to prepare? Why are you being so secretive?
No one will die?
Who are they plotting to harm again?!

Su Ling'er mentally complained as she passed through the areas she had visited before, including the Transmission Hall, the Pill Cauldron Pavilion, and the Weapon Refining Pavilion.

However... strings of large red lanterns were hung under the eaves of these buildings.

The red light was not very bright, but it formed a continuous expanse, enveloping the entire sect in a warm orange-red halo.

The same lanterns were also hung on the treetops and along the mountain paths.

A breeze blows, and the lanterns sway gently, their light and shadows flickering, creating a dreamlike scene.

Su Ling'er was stunned.

Is this... Chinese New Year?
It's not the appointed time yet, what's going on?

Does your sect have a problem with its concept of time?
Or is this... a festival unique to heretical cultivators?

Moreover, the sect was now packed with people.

The square, which was usually deserted at night, was now packed with disciples, who were in small groups, their faces beaming with barely suppressed excitement.

Disciples would occasionally fly by on their swords, leaving behind a streak of light.

The Guixi Sect had lost its usual eeriness and madness, and now it seemed like a bustling capital city in the mortal world, celebrating a grand festival.

This...what is going on?

What are all these people doing?
It's so late, why are there so many more people than during the day...?

With so many people... do you really think my hundred-plus insects can escape?
However, after being fed with essence and blood, they can only survive for fourteen hours.

The die was cast; there was no turning back.

"Very surprised?"

Lin Qingfeng's voice rang out from beside her.

Su Ling'er nodded blankly.

"This is the annual 'Golden Autumn Harvest Festival' in the cultivation world."

He started talking nonsense with a straight face.

"Our sect embodies the will of Heaven above and cares for the people below. We celebrate the fruitful results of a year of cultivation and pray for a smooth path to enlightenment in the coming year."

Su Ling'er didn't believe a single word.

A Golden Autumn Harvest Festival?
Is it an annual event in the cultivation world?

I do not know how?
I've been practicing at Qingxu Temple for three years and haven't heard a single thing about this. Are you kidding me?!
You demons plunder the life force of heaven and earth, use living people to make elixirs, treat human life as worthless, and yet you celebrate a bountiful year?
Judging by the scale and the number of people, this is clearly a large-scale celebration of heretical cultivation!

Just then, a bell rang out above the Guixi Sect.

It's midnight!

next moment.

Whoosh-!
Whoosh—! Whoosh—! Whoosh—!
Countless streams of light shot into the sky from all parts of the sect, exploding with a deafening roar in the night sky, scattering countless points of light across the heavens.

Immediately afterwards, countless fireworks rose into the sky from all directions at the same time, illuminating the night sky as bright as day.

The Golden Autumn Harvest Festival has begun!
