Chapter 142: Too Early to Be Happy

Miscellaneous Affairs Hall, the side hall dedicated to handling correspondence, the steward stared at the throng of Jade Maiden Peak outer door disciples before him, his scalp tingling as he spoke.

"What did you just say?"

"We said we've packaged all the letters."

These Jade Maiden Peak disciples, as soon as they arrived, wanted to package all the letters piled up in the Miscellaneous Affairs Hall; the steward even thought he was hallucinating.

You should know, although the Dao Yi Sect is a xianmen, its involvement in secular affairs is not small; after all, cultivation requires money, and quite a lot of it.

All kinds of resources are indispensable, so the sect has ties with many secular families, even extending to inns and taverns.

With so many enterprises, the correspondence naturally numbers beyond count; right now the backlog of letters in the Miscellaneous Affairs Hall is certainly no less than a hundred thousand, yet these people want to package them all as soon as they arrive?

"No, isn't that a bit too much?"

The steward opened his mouth to advise, but the lead Jade Maiden Peak disciple directly refused.

"Anyway, there's no set deadline; we just need to deliver the letters safely, right, steward?"

"Yes, that's.............."

"Then it's fine; leave it to us."

Seeing this, he could only nod; moreover, having the Jade Maiden Peak disciples package the letters was also a good thing for the steward—he would definitely be relieved.

So, seeing that persuasion wouldn't work, the steward straightforwardly led everyone to the storeroom, which was full to the brim with letters.

"They're all here; you handle them yourselves."

"This is unbelievable; before, finding someone to send a letter was like begging the gods and grandparents, but now the tides have turned—is it our Miscellaneous Affairs Hall's time to rise?"

In less than a quarter of an hour, the disciples had sorted out over a hundred thousand letters.

They then bid farewell to the Miscellaneous Affairs Hall and went straight to the stables at the mountain's base.

"Speed is everything; each letter earns one sect point. If you can finish within half a month, each person can at least have over a thousand sect points; exactly how many depends on you."

Having selected good spirit horses, the lead senior sister said seriously.

Sending letters is indeed tedious and seems to yield little, but what if we shorten the time?

In the past, sending letters was akin to going out for a leisurely trip, but now the Jade Maiden Peak disciples truly treat it as a business.

Hearing the women's words, the steward of the nearby stables frowned slightly, not knowing why, but he just felt uneasy.

"What's this? Suddenly I have this feeling."

He muttered strangely, then turned his head—the Jade Maiden Peak disciples had already vanished from the spot.

Everyone did their duty; soon a day passed, and by evening, Zhong Ling informed the steward of the Miscellaneous Affairs Hall to come inspect.

Quickly, the steward rushed to the black iron wood forest behind the mountain.

At a glance, he was completely dumbfounded.

He saw that several hilltops had been completely cleared of trees, at least tens of thousands.

He couldn't help feeling delighted, and he smiled at Zhong Ling.

"As expected of an inner disciple, amazing, amazing."

He had been worried about insufficient black iron wood stock, but recently the sect has been preparing a grand welcome for Grand Elder Qing Shi, and black iron wood is in high demand.

Not knowing what to do, the Jade Maiden Peak disciples directly solved the Miscellaneous Affairs Hall's urgent problem.

The steward laughed until his face bloomed; now it's fine—not only for this event, but for the next several years, he needn't worry about black iron wood at all.

In high spirits, the steward naturally didn't waste words; after counting, it wasn't just tens of thousands, but a full 180,000+, approaching 200,000 trees.

Finally, Zhong Ling and the others each received at least around a hundred sect points.

Everyone left happily; the Jade Maiden Peak disciples were pleased, and the steward of the Miscellaneous Affairs Hall was also pleased.

Even after returning, he still smiled at the other stewards.

"Truly worthy of being an inner disciple—with just a few people, they felled over 180,000 black iron wood in a day."

"That many?"

Hearing that, the other stewards were also shocked; such efficiency was indeed extremely high, and they likewise laughed.

"Now the hall master shouldn't have to worry about black iron wood anymore, right?"

"Not to mention, not just this event—we won't need to worry about black iron wood for the next several years either."

"Sure, sure, these Jade Maiden Peak disciples are really good people."

The stewards of the Miscellaneous Affairs Hall were still thanking the Jade Maiden Peak disciples, unaware of what they would have to face next.

On the other hand, the disciples sent out to deliver letters, after leaving the sect, have not stopped at all.

Even upon reaching their destination, they remain on horseback, facing the heads of various industries, they simply toss out the letters and immediately leave.

"Boss, how is this letter delivery different from before? You're really good-looking."

Some people still found it strange, after all, their contact with the Dao Yi Sect had been at most with menial disciples; hearing this, the boss lowered his voice and said.

"These are outer door disciples, so they're naturally different; keep your eyes to yourself, don't go staring."

"Outer door disciples.........."

To these people, an outer door disciple of the Dao Yi Sect is already a top-tier big shot; so why would such a person come to deliver letters?

"How would I know? Don't ask what you shouldn't; the immortal sect naturally has its own plans, which we couldn't possibly guess."

"That said, being able to see an outer door disciple, and moreover a Jade Maiden Peak woman, has already shocked these ordinary people to no end."

"It's a pity, though, that these Jade Maiden Peak disciples didn't stay to rest, and they didn't even give them a chance to speak."

"Naturally, they didn't know that the Jade Maiden Peak disciples were doing this merely to save time."

But in that case, the ones suffering are those spirit horses, carrying the Jade Maiden Peak disciples all the way at full gallop; these spirit horses are so exhausted their tongues are hanging out—how did they even come back?

Weren't those beasts treated like this from the start—not given a drop of water along the way, just forced to run?

We may be spirit horses, no doubt, but even ordinary horses need water and grass; if you want horses to run yet give them no grass, can you even be considered human?

The spirit horses are depressed once again, and moreover the Jade Maiden Peak disciples have become even more frenzied, their methods wilder than those of the previous Divine Sword Peak disciples.

In the end, the demon horses were simply run ragged, collapsing powerlessly on the ground and unable to get up no matter what.

This truly pushed them to their limit, but what these demon horses didn't expect was that, faced with this outcome, the Jade Maiden Peak disciple directly took out a blood-red pill from her Space Ring and said with a sweet smile.

"Little horse, this is a Blood Burning Pill; it can make you feel spirited, come on, eat it quickly."

The demon horses naturally didn't know what a Blood Burning Pill was, but after taking it they indeed became full of vigor, instantly reviving to full health on the spot, and then continued to gallop madly while carrying the Jade Maiden Peak disciple.

Otherwise, how could they say the most venomous thing is a woman's heart?

What is this Blood Burning Pill? It's a pill that explosively boosts one's cultivation in a short time, and it has side effects.

Right now these demon horses appear full of vigor, but once the drug wears off, they will suffer double the fatigue.

The demon horses still don't realize this; they only feel they have endless energy inside, and they're galloping about gleefully.
