Chapter 86: Establishing Rules

As the entire Divine Jianfeng learned of Ye Changqing's skills, grabbing a seat became increasingly difficult.

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

Since their cultivation wasn't high to begin with, wanting to grab a seat 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, there was almost no hope at all. Even facing inner sect disciples, the gap was quite large.

It was another meal where they could only smell the aroma. After mealtime, a group of servant disciples left unwillingly, and someone spoke up.

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

"That's right. Even if we cultivate with our lives on the line, it's impossible to catch up to those inner sect disciples."

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

Their cultivation wasn't as good as others, and their talent wasn't as good either. 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 servant disciples all appeared extremely disappointed.

"Since our strength is not as good as others, then we should use external help."

"Are you talking about talismans?"

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

There were three types of talismans in total: attack talismans, defensive talismans, and auxiliary talismans.

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

Hearing this, the servant disciples' eyes all 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 some price? I'm going to write to my family right now to send spirit stones over."

"Then I'll contact mine too."

"Me too."

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

Therefore, in the Dao One Sect, servant disciples could not be underestimated either.

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

Originally, the number of talismans wouldn't have been very large, 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 defensive talismans were definitely higher.

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

Because they hadn't eaten a meal from the kitchen for several days, those inner sect disciples were simply not acting like human beings.

Another mealtime arrived. Just like before, many disciples swarmed in.

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

They didn't hurt them; it was just a simple binding talisman to temporarily trap those outer and inner sect disciples, and then they used speed talismans, turning themselves into afterimages and rushing straight 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 servant disciples grabbed the seats, and they shouted in anger.

"Damn it, you're playing dirty, aren't you?"

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

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

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

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

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

But soon, as the outer and inner sect disciples broke through the talismans with bloodshot eyes and rushed into the courtyard, looking angrily at the servant disciples who were gorging themselves, Ye Changqing learned the truth.

"Treating your fellow disciples like this, you're playing dirty, aren't you?"

"Actually using talismans."

"Your hearts are truly dirty."

Facing the scolding of the many outer and inner sect disciples, the servant disciples ate frantically while saying incoherently.

"Senior Brothers, we have no choice; we can't compete."

"That's right. What is the strength of the Senior Brothers, and what is our strength? If we don't use some special methods, when would we ever be able to eat this meal?"

The servant disciples were also helpless. If it weren't for this meal, who would be willing to do this? Did you think talismans were cheap? Every time they used one, it cost shining spirit stones.

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

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

There was a large gap in cultivation and strength between disciples of different ranks. He had neglected this point before.

If everyone competed for seats together, the servant 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 Until Hong Zun over.

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

"Oh."

Hearing this, Until Hong Zun became interested. Could it be that this kid had suddenly had an epiphany 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, who were on the side, also curiously stayed behind.

Then, Ye Changqing told Until Hong Zun about his idea to change the kitchen rules.

Disciples of different ranks competing for seats together was, firstly, somewhat unfair, and secondly, it could very likely lead to unnecessary disputes.

The servant 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, Until Hong Zun also nodded in approval.

"What you said is indeed not bad. I noticed it today too. So, should we ban the use of external force?"

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