Chapter 835

~8 min read 1,493 words

In the eyes of those nobles, the lives of ordinary commoners are likewise as cheap as grass.

Even the methods of those nobles in the mortal world are even more brutal than those of cultivators.

In a simple sentence: it is infinite exploitation. Once you have no value left, they kick you away and leave you to fend for yourself.

Therefore, a person must always have a heart to climb upward. It doesn't matter how high you climb, but at least you cannot resign yourself to fate.

Fate is something that, once you resign yourself to it, you have lost.

After chatting with everyone for a while, Ye Changqing was also secretly considering things in his heart.

To be honest, with the ability of the Dao Yi Sect, it was impossible to only circle around the outskirts for a whole night.

Just look at the East Sea and Huling; in one night, Dao Yi Sect disciples could get you tens of thousands of ingredients.

But placed in the Ghost Valley, they just wandered around the outskirts for a night; this was clearly not the style of the Dao Yi Sect.

The reason for this was still a lack of motivation. After all, evil spirits cannot be eaten, and most disciples appeared somewhat absent-minded.

"This Ghost Valley is indeed a scourge."

He thought silently in his heart. On the other side, after yesterday's contact, the group of Ghost Kings in the Ghost Valley also felt much more at ease.

At this time, gathered in the Ghost Palace, the Ghost Kings said one by one, relaxed and comfortable:

"I thought that Dao Yi Sect was how powerful; it turns out it's just this?"

"In a night's time, they only probed a little and didn't even break through the outskirts."

"The outside world says the rise of the Dao Yi Sect is unstoppable; it seems the human race has exaggerated it themselves."

"Don't you know the character of the human race? They are best at gilding themselves."

"Mere disciples of four peaks, not to be feared."

Last night, after the Dao Yi Sect disciples entered the Ghost Valley, the Ghost Kings had probed a little.

After a night of fighting, the Ghost Kings also saw that the combat power of the Dao Yi Sect was just so-so; it was not as outrageous as the outside world said.

For a time, the pressure was greatly reduced. After all, judging by last night's performance, these disciples of the four peaks of the Dao Yi Sect clearly did not pose any threat.

Although there were still the three Great Saint Realm ancestors like Yu Mo, their Ghost Valley also had Ghost Emperors.

Some Ghost Kings even thought in their hearts: could they kill these disciples of the four peaks of the Dao Yi Sect in one fell swoop?

However, this was just a thought. The Ghost Emperors did not want to provoke the Dao Yi Sect, and they did not dare to act without authorization.

The Ghost Kings felt that the Dao Yi Sect was just like this, but they clearly did not realize that the state of the Dao Yi Sect disciples yesterday was completely different from when they were at Huling and the East Sea.

The reason for this can be summed up in one sentence: you evil spirits are useless; you cannot be eaten, and you are not within the sphere of influence of my Dao Yi Sect, so why should I risk my life?

Therefore, yesterday, the goal of the Dao Yi Sect disciples was focused on finding Heavenly Fragrant Ghost Fruits, and they did not have much thought of wanting to slay evil spirits.

To put it bluntly, there was not much fighting spirit.

But now, after eating breakfast, Ye Changqing and Fairy Baihua were leaning on the lounge chair in the backyard.

Seeing Ye Changqing in a contemplative mood, Fairy Baihua asked with a smile:

"What's wrong? What are you thinking about so intently?"

"I'm thinking that this Ghost Valley is indeed doing great harm to people."

"It indeed is."

Fairy Baihua nodded in agreement. Hearing this, Ye Changqing suddenly turned his head to look at her, a hint of a smile appearing in his eyes as he said:

"What do you say if we eradicate the Ghost Valley? At the very least, cripple it."

Hmm???

Hearing this, Fairy Baihua was stunned, but immediately chuckled lightly:

"It's very difficult. If it were the demon race, that would be easy to handle, but evil spirits, you know..."

Ye Changqing understood Fairy Baihua's meaning: slaying evil spirits, the various Senior Brothers and Junior Brothers were clearly not as proactive as they were in slaying demon beasts.

Even if Facing Qi Xiong personally gave the order, it would probably just be that way. Unless Ye Changqing told the disciples that evil spirits could be eaten, otherwise it would be difficult to achieve the same effect as dealing with demon beasts.

But this naturally could not stump Ye Changqing; he had long since thought of a method.

He immediately pulled Fairy Baihua and went to find Yu Mo, Facing Qi Xiong, and the others.

They discussed for the whole morning, and by lunchtime, the disciples returned one after another.

For the whole morning, it was still the same; most disciples were wandering around the outskirts. Although there were people who went deep, the progress was too slow, and they didn't slay many evil spirits.

The enthusiasm was clearly not high.

And once it was mealtime, the disciples rushed back impatiently.

While walking toward the kitchen, they were still complaining:

"This Huangji Sect is really something; they don't leave anything at all."

"Exactly. I've almost searched the entire outer area, and there is absolutely nothing. Let alone Heavenly Fragrant Ghost Fruits, there isn't even a single first-grade spirit fruit."

"Is this Huangji Sect unable to live anymore, or what?"

Not finding Heavenly Fragrant Ghost Fruits, the disciples were all very depressed. Two Great Saint Realm ingredients; just thinking about it made them drool.

They arrived outside the kitchen all the way. They had originally intended to make a move directly, but after arriving, they found that the disciples were gathered here, and no one was making a move.

"Senior Brother, what's going on?"

"Junior Brother Changqing has something to say, so he asked us to wait."

"Oh?"

Hearing that Ye Changqing had something to say, the disciples were also curious. What was this for?

As the disciples arrived one after another, Ye Changqing, accompanied by Facing Qi Xiong and the others, came before the Senior Brothers.

"You speak."

Facing Qi Xiong looked at Ye Changqing with a smile and said. To this, Ye Changqing did not refuse and said loudly:

"Various Senior Brothers..."

Ye Changqing's idea was very simple: since the Senior Brothers and Junior Brothers didn't have an interest in slaying evil spirits, then give them this interest.

After discussing with Facing Qi Xiong and the others, during their time in the Ghost Valley, the rules for the Dao Yi Sect's meal grabbing underwent some changes.

That is, it would no longer be decided by competition among fellow disciples, but by hunting evil spirits.

It was still divided according to handyman disciples and outer-sect disciples.

Disciples of different levels would slay evil spirits of different cultivation bases, and the points would be different.

For example, if a handyman disciple slays a Gray-Heart Ghost, they get ten points, while an outer-sect disciple slaying a Gray-Heart Ghost only gets five points, inner-sect disciples three points, and personal disciples one point.

Every mealtime, by relying on the number of evil spirits slain, the top eight thousand people could obtain the quota for a meal.

With Ye Changqing's words, the expressions of the disciples gradually changed.

Originally, they were indifferent to evil spirits, but now, the eyes of the disciples gradually turned red, just like when they were at Huling and the East Sea.

In an instant, the disciples expressed that they had a great interest in evil spirits, a very great one.

And this was not over yet. With the release of the second rule, the disciples went completely crazy.

The condition for the second rule was very simple: whoever's points reached ten thousand could come to Ye Changqing here to order a dish.

It was ordering dishes according to one's own taste; it belonged to a private kitchen.

What is a private kitchen? That was a treatment that only Great Saint Realm ancestors like Yu Mo could have, but now, the various disciples also had this opportunity. As long as the points were sufficient, they could come to the kitchen to order dishes.

Once these words were spoken, the atmosphere in the field suddenly became strange. The many disciples before them had eyes that were completely red, like hungry wolves in the dark night, each staring straight at Ye Changqing, their eyes filled with excitement. ===== CHAPTER 836 =====
