Chapter 47: Establishing Rules

As the entire Divine Sword Peak learned of Ye Changqing's skills, grabbing a spot became increasingly difficult.

This was especially difficult for those handyman disciples and outer sect disciples with low cultivation.

Their cultivation was already not high, so grabbing a spot could be said to be as difficult as ascending to heaven.

Facing the elders, deacons, and personal disciples like Xu Jie, Liu Shuang, and Lu Youyou, they had almost no hope, and even facing inner sect disciples, the gap was quite large.

After another meal where they could only smell the aroma, the handyman disciples left unwillingly, and someone spoke up.

"This can't go on; we have no chance at all."

"Exactly, even if we cultivate like our lives depend on it, we can't catch up to those inner sect disciples."

Why were they handyman disciples? Wasn't it because their talent was low?

Their cultivation was already inferior to others, and their talent was also inferior; wanting to compete with those inner sect disciples was truly wishful thinking.

Thinking that they might not be able to eat the kitchen's food in the future, the handyman disciples all appeared extremely disappointed.

"Since our strength is inferior to others, then we must use external forces."

"Are you talking about talismans?"

Talismans were a special type of treasure that could only be made by talisman masters. Depending on the grade of the talisman, they could unleash attack or defense capabilities far exceeding those of the user.

Talismans were divided into three types: attack talismans, defense talismans, and auxiliary talismans.

Among them, auxiliary talismans were further divided into speed types, binding types, and so on.

Hearing this, the eyes of the handyman disciples lit up, but some were also worried.

"But the price of talismans is not low."

"So what? As long as we can eat, what does it matter if we pay a price? I'm going to write home right now and have them send spirit stones."

"Then I'll contact mine too."

"Me too."

Don't underestimate these handyman disciples. Although their talent might not be as good as the outer or inner sect disciples, in the secular world, they were all famous young masters and young ladies with powerful backgrounds.

Therefore, in the Profound One Sect, handyman disciples could not be underestimated either.

Soon, the talismans in Sanyuan City saw an unprecedented large-scale purchase, and they were basically all auxiliary talismans.

Originally, there wouldn't be too many talismans, but in just a few days, over eighty percent of the auxiliary talismans in Sanyuan City were sold out, which made many merchants feel extremely surprised.

What were these guys buying so many auxiliary talismans for? In terms of cost-effectiveness, attack and defense talismans were definitely higher.

The ones buying the talismans were naturally the many handyman disciples of Divine Sword Peak. Since their strength wasn't enough, they could only rely on external forces; they were forced into a dead end.

Because they hadn't eaten a bite of the kitchen's food for several days, those inner sect disciples were simply not acting like humans.

Another mealtime arrived, and as usual, many disciples swarmed in.

But this time, the handyman disciples came prepared. Facing those outer and inner sect disciples, they didn't hesitate at all; the moment they met, they threw out a talisman.

They didn't hurt them; it was just a simple binding talisman to temporarily trap these outer and inner sect disciples, and then they used speed talismans, turning into afterimages and rushing directly to the kitchen.

Completely unprepared, many outer and inner sect disciples were caught off guard.

Trapped by the talismans, they could only watch helplessly as these handyman disciples grabbed the spots, shouting in anger.

"Damn it, you guys are playing dirty, right?"

"Can't you play fair? You actually used talismans."

"Damn it, leave a spot for me; I didn't get to eat yesterday."

"Save it, Senior Brother. Yesterday? We haven't eaten for three days, so today's meal must be ours."

With the help of the talismans, many handyman disciples finally got their wish and ate.

Even Ye Changqing was a bit puzzled. Why did so many handyman disciples grab spots today? Could it be that those outer and inner sect disciples didn't come?

But soon, as the outer and inner sect disciples, who had broken through the talismans with red eyes, rushed into the courtyard and looked angrily at the handyman disciples who were gorging themselves, Ye Changqing knew the truth.

"Treating fellow disciples, you guys are playing dirty, right?"

"Actually using talismans."

"Your hearts are truly dirty."

Facing the reprimands of the many outer and inner sect disciples, the handyman disciples said while eating wildly and indistinctly.

"Senior brothers, we had no choice; we couldn't grab them."

"Exactly, what is your strength, and what is ours? If we don't use some special methods, when would we ever be able to eat this meal?"

The handyman disciples were also helpless. If it weren't for this bite of food, who would want to do this? Do you think talismans are cheap? Every one used cost shiny spirit stones.

And recently, those unscrupulous merchants in Sanyuan City, seeing that talismans were selling so well, actually collectively raised their prices, which made people's livers ache with anger.

Listening to the argument between the two groups of disciples, Ye Changqing, not far away, also frowned slightly.

There was a huge gap in cultivation and strength between disciples of different levels. He had ignored this point before.

If everyone competed for spots together, the handyman disciples were indeed at too much of a disadvantage.

He secretly calculated something in his heart.

After everyone left, Ye Changqing took the initiative to call Hong Zun over.

"Peak Master, this disciple has something to discuss with you."

"Oh."

Hearing this, Hong Zun became interested. Could this kid have suddenly seen the light and agreed to take him as his master?

He looked at Ye Changqing with great interest and said.

"Speak."

Xu Jie, Liu Shuang, and Lu Youyou on the side also curiously stayed behind.

Then, Ye Changqing told Hong Zun about his idea of wanting to change the kitchen's rules.

Disciples of different levels competing for spots together was, firstly, a bit unfair, and secondly, it could very likely lead to unnecessary disputes.

The handyman disciples had already started using talismans, and the outer and inner sect disciples would certainly not turn a blind eye; there would definitely be retaliation.

Who knew what it would turn into later.

Hearing Ye Changqing's words, Hong Zun also nodded in agreement.

"What you said is indeed correct. I noticed it today too. So, ban the use of external forces?"

"But if that's the case, the handyman disciples won't have any chance at all." ===== CHAPTER 87 =====
