My Text-Based Cultivation Game

However, when they arrived at the herb garden where Yunyang was, they found that Yunyang was not there.

Um?What about people?

The leading disciple of the Xuantian Sect, surnamed Zhao, turned to look at his two sides, while the two behind him exchanged bewildered glances.

"Junior Brother Gong, what happened?"

The Xuantian Sect disciple on the right glanced at the scroll in his hand, then at the jade signboard located at the edge of the spirit herb garden not far away, and said, "Senior Brother Zhao, this is the right place."

"Dereliction of duty? This Junior Brother Yun..."

Before he could finish speaking, a Xuan Tian Sect disciple dressed in plain clothes and carrying a spirit spring walked in from the entrance of the spirit herb garden.

The senior brother Zhao, who was in the lead, frowned slightly. He remembered that Yunyang was a teenager, so why did the person in front of him look like a middle-aged man with a thick beard?

But what if this junior brother Yun is just developing early and his beard grows quickly?

So Senior Brother Zhao stepped forward and asked, "Is this Junior Brother Yun?"

"Huh? Me?"

The Xuantian Sect disciple carrying the spirit spring was taken aback, but upon seeing the pattern on the clothing worn by the Xuantian Sect disciple in front of him, which was actually the attire of a first-class outer sect disciple, he quickly put down the spirit spring he was carrying, bowed, and said, "Greetings, Senior Brother, but my surname is Qian."

"Oh? Isn't Junior Brother Yun supposed to be looking after this herb garden? How come Junior Brother Qian is in charge now?"

"Oh, Senior Brother is here to see Junior Brother Yun? Junior Brother Yun is catching spirit insects in my herb garden."

"Hmm?" Senior Brother Zhao frowned slightly. He had practiced perception-type spells and could sense that Junior Brother Qian in front of him was at the third level of Qi Refining. Could it be that this guy had bullied Junior Brother Yun?

So he asked, "Why is Junior Brother Yun catching spirit insects in your herb garden?"

"This, this is not something I forced Junior Brother Yun to do. Junior Brother Yun wanted to help me himself, and I came to water Junior Brother Yun's herb garden."

"What? He offered to help you?"

Senior Brother Zhao was somewhat puzzled. He had also tended the spirit fields before. Watering and fertilizing were easy, but these spirit insects were difficult to prevent. Moreover, cultivators who had not yet reached the Foundation Establishment stage did not have divine sense, so it was difficult to capture these spirit insects hidden among the spirit herbs.

But why would Junior Brother Yun voluntarily help others catch spirit insects?

"He's very good at catching spirit insects?"

"That's right." Junior Brother Qian, who had brought the spiritual spring, immediately said, "This Junior Brother Yun seems to have gained divine sense. No matter how deep the spirit insects are hidden, he can always catch them in an instant."

Could it be that this Junior Brother Yun has a special talent in mental power?

"Please, Junior Brother Qian, lead us to your herb garden. We have something to discuss with Junior Brother Yun."

"Alright, alright, please follow me, my three senior brothers."

The three of them walked all the way to the medicine garden No. 202 of the Bing character, which was guarded by the outer disciple of Xuantianmen surnamed Qian. When they reached the entrance of the medicine garden, Senior Brother Zhao suddenly reached out and stopped the three of them behind him.

"What's wrong, Senior Brother Zhao?"

"Don't rush, let's take a look first."

The three of them lay prone by the edge of the herb garden. Although they were cultivators, at this moment they looked like a few gossipy thieves eavesdropping.

But then they saw Yunyang walking among the spirit fields, occasionally pulling out a spirit insect from the field and stuffing it directly into his mouth.

"Pfft~"

The tender green juice burst between Yunyang's teeth, and Yunyang swallowed the spirit insect in two gulps.

"vomit!"

One of the Xuantianmen disciples who was spying on them almost vomited.

Although they have embarked on the path of cultivation, they have not yet reached the Foundation Establishment stage and cannot abstain from grains, so their physiological response to this taste still exists.

Even the leader, Senior Brother Zhao, looked rather grim.

I originally thought you were being bullied by a high-level outer disciple, but it turns out you actually took the initiative to help others.

But when I thought you were just being helpful, it turned out you were only doing it because you were greedy?

And he's a glutton?

You're such a little glutton.

"This..." Junior Brother Gong hesitated, "Senior Brother Zhao, do you think we should still recruit him?"

"..."

Senior Brother Zhao forcibly suppressed the nausea in his stomach and calmly said, "Junior Brother Gong, this is what you don't understand. You should know that these geniuses all have some quirks, which is quite normal."

At this moment, the Xuantian Sect disciple who had remained silent suddenly spoke up: "Does Senior Brother Murong also have...?"

"..."

Senior Brother Zhao glanced at the person who had spoken and decided to get rid of him after this matter was over.

If you can't speak properly, can't you just shut up?

Bringing this kind of person into the inner circle will only lead to your own demise sooner or later.

There's no need for Senior Brother Murong to know about this guy's existence.

"Ahem!"

Senior Brother Zhao stood up, straightened his clothes, and called out to Yunyang, who was searching for "snacks," "Is that Junior Brother Yun up ahead?"

"..."

Three outer disciples of the Xuantian Sect suddenly found you in the herb garden, seemingly intending to recruit you.

Ok?

Yunyang, who was controlling his game character to find and eat spirit insects in the herb garden and was so addicted that he started eating them raw, felt a little impatient when he saw the text that suddenly popped up on the screen.

Why did a random event suddenly pop up?

Can't you see I'm enjoying my food?

Recruiting? Who's recruiting? Recruiting for what?

And is recruiting me more important than me eating spirit insects?

Of course, Yunyang wasn't addicted to eating spirit insects, and he couldn't actually taste them by looking at the screen.

The main reason is that eating spirit insects can increase experience points!

After eating just over ten spirit insects from the herb garden, his Qi attribute increased by more than thirty points.

After consuming all the spiritual insects on this mountain, Yunyang felt he could definitely break through to the third or fourth level of the Qi Refining stage.

We're saying that these cultivators seem to have no idea about the benefits of spirit insects. These spirit insects are simply killed and thrown into the herb garden by the cultivators who are in charge of guarding it.

What a waste!

The text that popped up on the screen continued to appear.

[They tell you they are under the command of Senior Brother Murong, a true disciple of the inner sect. Will you accept their offer of recruitment?]

[What benefits would I gain from joining this company?]

Yunyang thought for a moment, and decided that if he couldn't refuse directly, he should ask about the benefits first.

"benefit?"

The outer disciple of Xuantian Sect surnamed Zhao was stunned. This was the first time he had been asked "what are the benefits" when he was recruiting disciples under the guise of being a true disciple.

This is the recruitment of a true disciple! A true disciple! A strong candidate for the future sect leader position. To be noticed by someone like this, what does it matter if he's easy to get along with or not?

Seeing that the other person hadn't spoken for a while, you assumed they were trying to get something for nothing and refused them directly.

Good riddance! Even those lousy 996 companies at least pay a salary, so how dare you, a true disciple, try to get something for nothing?

Wasting my time, let's keep catching insects!

This kind of insect, which can be obtained by simply clicking on the screen to get the elixir and then clicking to get rid of the insect, is much more practical than your so-called recruitment method.

Too lazy to pay attention to the text that suddenly popped up, Yunyang directly clicked on the next herb garden and started communicating with the caretaker of the next herb garden.

Don't interfere with the labor-management upgrade!

At the medicine garden at No. 202, Bingzi, Lingyao Peak, the three people who came to recruit Yunyang stared blankly at Yunyang, who had shaken off the hand of the outer disciple surnamed Zhao and run away into the distance. They were stunned for a moment.

Yunyang's parting words, "Don't bother me while I'm eating bugs," dealt a heavy blow to the three of them.

Recruiting a true disciple is less valuable than you eating insects?

"Zhao, Senior Brother Zhao, what should we do? Should we continue recruiting that kid?"

Unexpectedly, Senior Brother Zhao simply asked in a calm tone, "Junior Brother Gong, let me ask you, how long did it take you to break through from a mortal to the first level of the Qi Refining stage?"

After thinking for a moment, Junior Brother Gong said, "It took... three or four months."

"But this Junior Brother Yun has already entered the first level of Qi Refining."

"How is this possible? He's only just begun! Even a Heavenly Spiritual Root is nothing special!"

"I've practiced perception-based spells, so I can sense his strength," Senior Brother Zhao chuckled. "I always said this kid must have something special. Right now, the other true disciples all think he's just an ordinary guy with three spiritual roots. We must seize this opportunity to recruit him to Senior Brother Murong's side!"
