Chapter 143: Fearing Only That the World Might Not Be in Chaos

Fearing only that the world might not be in chaos.

This is the definition the Beggar Sect Disciples gave to Lin Bai.

Compared to other NPCs, Lin Bai is too active.

Active without any logic, as if he were deliberately looking for trouble; he's more like a villain than the villains themselves...

However.

This is exactly to the players' tastes.

What they need is conflict and war; what is the point of playing house with a bunch of NPCs in a game?

For the sake of a Beast-Ear Girl, what does it matter if a war is started?

Throughout history, have there been few wars fought because of women?

Let alone a Beast-Ear Girl who is both cute and adorable?

For the sake of selfish interests, imprisoning the freedom of Demon Beasts is wrong to begin with...

The Beast Taming Sect deserves to be overthrown!

Everything for justice!

The players of the Beggar Sect strongly requested that Hu Xiaobai use her Form Manifestation appearance to be active in the Beggar Sect, to increase the cohesion of the Disciples.

But it was tsundere-ly rejected by the little fox.

At this very moment, the little white fox finally realized the lethality of her new image, and her worship of Lin Bai rose to a new level.

The little fox did not think there was anything bad about this.

The talent of a fox demon is Charm; this image is more attractive when seducing humans, and doing things gets twice the result with half the effort, so why not use it?

The little fox felt that Jiang Qingqin was also very pretty, but clearly, the Heavenly Descended of the Beggar Sect were not interested in her.

This made the little fox feel that she had finally surpassed that woman, and she walked with a light, floating step, her tail even held high.

She even had the heart to return to the mountains and forests to tell her brothers and sisters that, from now on, all Form Manifestations should be done according to this look.

He taught a few sets of Martial Arts to players like 【Gugao Laoren】, letting them develop as they pleased.

The players then dispersed, feeling reluctant to part with the little white fox.

In order to pursue realism, the game does not prohibit players from teaching each other Martial Arts; there is no rule that a secret manual can only be learned by one person.

Whether one is willing to teach the Martial Arts they have learned to others, and how many moves to teach, depends entirely on the player's own selfishness.

Who to let learn, what Martial Art to learn first, how to position oneself during group battles, how to coordinate... these actually test the planning ability of the team's core.

A team leader cannot just dump all the Martial Arts onto everyone; that is not conducive to the exertion of the team's combat power.

If it were players fighting on their own, that would be one thing.

Now the Beggar Sect is a whole, and one must consider the collective interest.

Fortunately, 【Gugao Laoren】 is a qualified leader; organizing the players to fight Lin Bai in the beginning already proved this point.

How the Beggar Sect's combat power should be distributed, and how to coordinate with Lin Bai at critical moments—he was clear on these things. After a few high-level members discussed it, they formulated a qualified incentive system.

Lin Bai has no intention of managing the miscellaneous affairs of the Beggar Sect; his main energy is still placed on completing the system tasks.

Strength is what is truly one's own; players can never be trusted.

The Beggar Sect's members now number as many as three thousand; who knows if there are undercover agents arranged by others among them?

A tall tree catches the wind.

Who knows how many players find him an eyesore and want to get rid of him as quickly as possible!

They play their game, he plays his.

【Flaw 13,053 items...; Reward: Great Demon Dissolution Manual — Foot-Splitting Technique】

Not long after 【Gugao Laoren】 and the others left, a notification of task success came to Lin Bai's mind.

Subsequently, the Wanwu Youque System gave a new task; looking at the description, it should be for over ten thousand flawed items.

With three thousand Incomplete Promotion Envoys, this task is also a freebie.

Sure enough.

Walking ahead of the system, all tasks can be "free-loaded."

Lin Bai had already obtained the Head-Splitting Technique and Hand-Splitting Technique of the Great Demon Dissolution Manual.

Lin Bai did not dare to verify the Head-Splitting Technique.

But the Hand-Splitting Technique could be tried.

Seeing no one to the left or right, Lin Bai activated the Hand-Splitting Technique and split his left hand off.

The moment the Skill was activated.

His left hand separated silently from the wrist; there was no pain, and no blood flowed out.

Lin Bai tried to bend the fingers of his left hand,

The fingers moved freely, just as if the left hand were still growing on his body.

Lin Bai directed the detached left hand to move forward, rise, and fall; its flexibility was not affected in the slightest.

The only flaw was that after the detached left hand left his field of vision, although the hand could be controlled, he had no idea what kind of environment his hand was in!

A Skill that can be effectively used only within one's field of vision.

The little fox watched the left hand floating up and down, dumbfounded: "Master, your hand?"

Lin Bai directed the left hand, floated it to the top of the little fox's head, patted the top of her head, and laughed: "A spell I just learned—Hand-Splitting."

The little white fox reached out to grab Lin Bai's large hand on top of her head.

It was nimbly dodged by the left hand.

Lin Bai smiled at the little fox, his thoughts stirred, and he backhanded a palm strike of "Tunyuchulai".

Whoosh!

The Internal Energy in his dantian surged out in response, connecting to his left hand.

A remnant dragon flew out from his palm, slamming into the rockery in the courtyard, sending the rockery stones flying in all directions.

Some Beggar Sect Disciples were startled and ran over to check the situation.

Lin Bai withdrew his hand in time.

When he thought about retrieving it, his left hand even left a lingering shadow in the air, returning to his body at the fastest possible speed...

Seeing that it was Lin Bai practicing moves, the Beggar Sect Disciples waved their hands at the little white fox and retreated.

"So powerful." The little white fox ignored the Beggar Sect Disciples; she grabbed Lin Bai's left hand and looked at it over and over, seamless and without a trace of injury, "In the future, when you use Palm Thunder, you can secretly fly your hand out to release it; it would be impossible to guard against!"

"That's right!" Lin Bai did not deny it.

The fact that it is inconvenient to control the hand once it leaves the field of vision cannot be let known; only when his eyes and hands can all be detached and flown out can he do as the little fox said.

It would be even more invincible if an invisibility technique or something similar were added.

Head-Splitting Technique and Hand-Splitting Technique could actually accomplish the little fox's operation, but if both the head and hands flew out, the remaining body would be in real trouble if destroyed; unless absolutely necessary, Lin Bai did not intend to do so.

The ability truly suitable for the Great Demon Unbinding Scripture is actually Regeneration...

With the ability of Regeneration.

He could throw his head and hands around at will, and combined with Palm Thunder, he alone would be an army.

Regeneration?

Perhaps the Peerless Divine Doctor System could do it; modern medicine even has cloning technology!

If it can't reach the level of limb regeneration, how can it still be called a Peerless Divine Doctor?

The Peerless Divine Doctor's current task is still to have him research pill formulas, and the reward is the Poison Identification Technique.

This is a useless Skill; with Lin Bai's current strength, if someone can get close enough to poison him, he has actually already lost.

Lin Bai also does not believe that the Poison Pill of Medicine King Valley needs to be eaten to take effect; it is highly likely that it is the type that can form poisonous smoke or miasma just by throwing the Poison Pill out secretly.

By then, even if he identifies the toxicity, he won't have an antidote pill!

However.

Tasks must be done; just like the lie task of the Great Language System, if it is not completed, it will get stuck and not issue the next task!

Lin Bai has ready-made pills on hand, the Intelligence Pill and the Transformation Pill.

He decided to start with these two pills to see if he could improve upon them, generate new pill formulas, and bluff his way through the task.

After the number of Beggar Sect Disciples increased, Huayishen now leads a team himself; nowadays, he has over thirty people under him learning the art of Pill Refinement.

Compared to the three thousand players in the Beggar Sect, the thirty-plus people refining medicine are not many.

Most players who like Pill Refinement ultimately chose Medicine King Valley; after all, compared to the unconventional Beggar Sect, Medicine King Valley is more professional.

At this time, a group of players in the Alchemy Room, each with a pill furnace, were working in division of labor, refining large quantities of Rejuvenation Pills of various effects.

While refining pills, they were excitedly discussing how to create more strange and eccentric pills based on the Rejuvenation Pill.

When Lin Bai entered the door.

They were discussing the creation of the Explosive Rejuvenation Pill.

This was inspired by the Rejuvenation Arrow, basically using the principle of a hand grenade.

Embedding various Rejuvenation Pills on the surface of a hand grenade, and through the explosion of the grenade, blasting the pills into the enemy's body...

Seeing Lin Bai enter, everyone stopped talking in unison and cast their gazes at the little white fox who was following closely behind Lin Bai.

Some bold players even ran to the side of the little white fox and silently took photos with her.

"Shopkeeper Lin." Huayishen greeted Lin Bai, "Are you here to refine pills?"

"Giving you a task." Lin Bai looked at him, took out an Intelligence Pill, and tossed it over, "This is an Intelligence Pill, which can awaken the intelligence of animals. You try to see if you can reverse-engineer the ingredients contained within. If successful, I will teach you the Monarch Minister Assistant Envoy Ratio Technique."

"Can awaken the intelligence of animals?" Huayishen glanced at the little white fox and immediately became excited; alchemists also want to have cute beasts as companions. Once their intelligence is awakened, they can cultivate, and perhaps one day they will be able to undergo Form Manifestation!

Even if they can't undergo Form Manifestation, having a cute beast that can talk is not bad either!

"Don't worry, we will definitely reverse-engineer the pill as soon as possible." The group of alchemists patted their chests in assurance.

"Good, hurry up." Lin Bai smiled, turned around, and left the Alchemy Room.

Researching pill formulas is a time-consuming job. After having players to help, unless he is particularly confident, Lin Bai is already too lazy to do it himself; his wisdom in pill research is not much better than the players'.

Rather than researching pill formulas himself, it is better to wait for the spies from Medicine King Valley to steal more pill formulas back; he is waiting to collect the system rewards!

As for the Transformation Pill, Lin Bai did not hand it over to the players.

Nowadays, he only has one Transformation Pill left; if it gets ruined by the players, it will be gone.

This thing is so precious that he must use it sparingly until he obtains a large quantity of Transformation Pills.

Returned to the room.

Instructed the little white fox to go practice and improve her strength to complete the Pet System task.

Lin Bai took out the Silver-Edged Card sealing Huaxi Furen and released her.

The characters sealed inside the Silver-Edged Card can be retrieved and reused, theoretically higher-grade than the Blank Card.

But after releasing Huaxi Furen.

Lin Bai was disappointed.

Huaxi Furen stood there in a daze, just like Qingming Daozhang, without her own intelligence, still a Puppet following orders.

Besides the Dharma Treasure used for combat, there were no items like secret manuals of the Profound Underworld Sect on her.

Lin Bai actually managed to fish quite a few medicinal pills off her body.

Those pills had no names on them, so Lin Bai dared not consume them rashly and dumped them all onto the Pill Refinement masters to study.

……

While Lin Bai was looting his own Puppet and taking stock of the spoils from this battle, the several sects that had recruited the Heavenly Descended were as lively as if it were the New Year.

Because they had no experience dealing with players, Tong Cha and the others were each driven to distraction by the players' clamor.

"Master Tong, when will the rewards you promised us be fulfilled?" 【Huangye Lang】 asked.

"Once I return to the Sword Sect and consult with the Sect Leader, they will all be issued to you one by one," Tong Cha said. "Everyone rest assured, everything promised to you at the recruitment fair will be fulfilled."

"Are all of us in this group going back to the Chaoyuan Sword Sect to practice Sword Art?" 【Huangye Lang】 frowned slightly and asked.

"Yes," Tong Cha said. "The Sword Sect is deep in the mountains, where the Spirit Qi is dense, making it more suitable for cultivation than the secular world."

"Cultivating deep in the mountains, does that mean it's a place rarely visited by people?" 【Jue Ye】 asked.

"That is correct," Tong Cha said.

"Does our Sword Sect have many Golden Core cultivators?" 【Di Yi Jian Xian】 asked.

"There are over five hundred people who have formed a Sword Core, and over five thousand ordinary Disciples," Tong Cha said proudly.

"How long does it take to form a Sword Core?" 【Huangye Lang】 asked.

"That is hard to say. Some take over ten years to comprehend Sword Intent and form a Sword Core; others still have no progress after thirty or fifty years... It also depends on talent and individual effort. Of course, your speed of forming a core should be quite fast," Tong Cha explained patiently.

"Damn it, having to cultivate in the sect for over ten years, what's the point of that?" 【Jue Ye】 said with dissatisfaction. "Cultivating inside the sect, we can't even build up our publicity! Master Tong, we can't just cultivate; we have to find things to do in our spare time! Just like Shopkeeper Lin of the Beggar Sect, fighting the heavens, fighting the earth, and fighting the air—we have to stir up the reputation of our Chaoyuan Sword Sect!"

"Exactly, exactly," 【Di Yi Jian Xian】 said. "Shopkeeper Lin wiped out all the evil sects at the recruitment fair today. Those sects will definitely come for revenge in a big way. Such a cool battle between righteousness and evil, our Chaoyuan Sword Sect absolutely cannot fall behind; we must get a piece of the action!"

"If all else fails, let's just go to war with the Beggar Sect!" a player said.

"Can we fly on swords once we form a Sword Core?" a player asked. "If we know how to fly on swords, how long would it take to get from the Chaoyuan Sword Sect to Qian City?"

"Does the Chaoyuan Sword Sect have any pills that can rapidly increase cultivation?" a player asked.

"Why doesn't the Beggar Sect need to find a place with Spirit Qi to practice?" a player said. "Master Tong, the times have changed; it's time to walk out of the mountains."

"Are there any cute Demon Beasts near the Chaoyuan Sword Sect?" 【Saodong De Jian】 asked. "Today, Shopkeeper Lin's little white fox underwent Form Manifestation; it was super cute. Can the Sword Sect help us catch one each as an entry reward?"

A group of players argued back and forth, chattering away, with questions coming one after another.

The noisy sounds made Tong Cha's head feel like it was swelling to twice its size. He glanced at Zhao Ang beside him, somewhat unable to understand why Lin Bai could keep these noisy Heavenly Descended so well-disciplined, making them do whatever he wanted.

He was also someone who had taught disciples; when had he ever seen such free and undisciplined new Disciples?

How could these guys ask anything that came to mind?

Asking about the Sword Sect was one thing.

What was the meaning of asking him if he wore underwear?

What the hell are you trying to do?

The same scene was also happening at the Hundred Flowers Valley, Medicine King Valley, and Spirit Tool Pavilion...

The players' questions were mainly concentrated on two points;

First, cultivating deep in the mountains is boring and must be combined with the secular world;

Second, they must participate in the war between the Beggar Sect and the five great evil sects...
