The Strongest Sect of All Times

Chapter 44: here comes the rice

While the disciples were doing their one-day missions in Qingyang Village, Jun Changxiao was not idly sitting by. He brought out the instruction manual for the qi-gathering spiritual array. Turning to the first page, he saw the words idiot-proof manual written on it. 

Idiot-proof?

He continued to read and learned that the Qi Gathering Array required him to place thirty-six flags in fixed positions. 

Lets try it.

Jun hangxiao stepped out of the Great Hall and found an open space on the left side of the martial arts stage. He inserted the thirty-six small flags one after another, following the layout specified in the manual.

Bzzt

Once the last flag was inserted, all of the flags in the quadrangular array trembled. A blue light appeared at the base, connecting each flag with its adjacent. 

Whoa! Whoa!

Suddenly, the blue light shot into the air, creating walls that were five meters tall. Like curtains of water, the walls sealed the area from the top, gathering the qi within the space. 

Indeed idiot-proof.

Jun Changxiao smiled and reached out to touch the border of the formation. Half of his hand went through, then he walked inside. 

The space inside the formation was small, only about ten square meters. Currently, there was no difference between the spiritual energy density inside and outside. 

According to the instruction manual, the arranger could activate the array with a single thought, but Jun Changxiao did not try it out. After all, activation would deduct contribution points. 

The array will help the disciples. Lets wait for the disciples to complete their tasks before activating it for their cultivation.

Oh, and this array could not be opened every day

Jun Changxiao thought about it and decided to open it every seven days, allowing the disciples to rotate every few hours. 

Hah There is still a lack of contribution points. Otherwise, the array could be opened every day and allow the disciples to cultivate in a better environment. Their cultivation would definitely improve quickly

Jun Changxiao sighed and walked out. 

When he left, the blue lights disappeared and the array became invisible. 

Li Qingyang, Lu Qianqian, and the others continued to go to Qingyang Village for their missions. 

Jun Changxiao began to practice the Tendon Altering Sutra, hoping to open his last meridian as soon as possible. 

He went through the system store last night, but didnt find anything suitable for breakthroughs. Thus, he could only meditate honestly. 

Not to mention, during the practice of the Tendon Altering Sutra, Jun Changxiao noticed that his meridians had widened a lot and his muscles had become denser. 

I should be stronger than a few days ago? he murmured. 

The system said, [The strength testing machines in the low-grade store can accurately test strength. The host is recommended to purchase this item at an index of five stars.]

Tsk, Jun Changxiao rolled his eyes. Making me spend more points.

[The machine can be used by both master and disciple. It is an indispensable part of the sect. If it disappears because of a list refresh, dont regret it.]

Regret it?

God damn it

Jun Changxiao tapped his chin. Cultivation realm is one thing, strength is another. It is necessary to buy a strength tester to measure the disciples growth every one in a while.

Shua!

He skillfully scrolled and precisely pulled up the item panel from the low-grade items list. 

This item required 10 contribution points and its description was simple, containing only one line of words: [Condenses spiritual power to accurately display strength value.]

Buy.

{Ding!]

[Host has used 10 contribution points, obtaining Strength Tester x1. The item has been transferred to your storage ring.]

[Sect Contribution Points: 24/100.]

Bang!

Jun Changxiao walked outside and summoned the machine. The item looked no different from a regular sandbag. He tried to push it, but found that it was impossible to push. 

[Only the host can summon it from the storage ring. No one can shake it.]

So its like that.

Jun Changxiao shook his head. Ill try it first. I wonder how much power I have

After a simple warm-up, he took a deep breath and clenched his right fist, activating the eleven rings of qi around his wrist. 

Ah!

He took a step forward, punching the machine with all his strength and heart a dang sound. 

There was a flow of qi, like ripples on water. 

However, the machine did not budge at all. The number 1800 gradually appeared at the top, the unit being kilograms. 

1800 kilograms? Not bad, said Jun Changxiao. 

According to the system: [11th Stage Meridian Opening cultivators on Falling Star Continent generally have a power of 1500kg. Host is 300kg stronger than that.]

Only 300kg? Jun Changxiao shook his head. 

If another cultivator were to see his dissatisfaction, they would surely roar, Brother, you are 300kg stronger than normal. What else do you want?

The system analyzed, [The host has a weak body and poor spiritual root. For you to be 300kg stronger should be due to the practice of the Tendon Altering Sutra.]

Then I will continue to cultivate.

Jun Changxiao sat down and immediately started to meditate.

[Ding! Side mission triggered!]

A side mission?

Jun Changxiao, accustomed to this kind of prompt now, opened the system interface. The side mission read: [Teach a lesson to the elder of the Ai Family. 0/1 {Rare}]

Elder of the Ai Family?

He immediately remembered the Ai Familys young master, who he had beaten the day before. He touched his nose and smiled, Since I beat their young master, the Ai Family will certainly not give up. 

A rare mission Jun Changxiao rubbed his hands together. This is a big fish.

Defeating Elder Wei back in Qingyang City gave him extra contribution points, so he eagerly awaited the Ai Family to come knocking so that he could earn more points. 

Sect Head! A disciple ran inside and shouted, There is a man outside who calls himself an elder of the Ai Family!

I hit him yesterday and they arrived today.

That was pretty fast. 

Here comes the rice.

Jun Changxiao stood up and walked outside. 

The disciple scratched his head, muttering, No, the rice was delivered yesterday.

Outside the Ironbone Sects painted gates, a middle-aged man dressed in fine robes stood with an air of arrogance and contempt. 

His name was Ai Shangke, an elder of the Ai Family. He was someone of the Martial Apprentice Realm. 

Aiya. Jun Changxiao stepped out and asked, Elder Ai, right? Excuse me for not going out to greet you, please forgive me.

Ai Shangke glanced at him, indifferently responding, You are the Ironboone Sects leader, Jun Changxiao?

Exactly, said Jun Changxiao. 

Previously, Ai Yue did not recognize him as the sect head but Elder Ai had guessed it at first glance, making Jun Changxiao feel better. 

Ai Shangke coolly said, Sect Head Jun, my family was bullied by your disciples. Please hand over the perpetrators.

This

Rest assured, for the Hundred Sect Alliances sake, the Ai Family will only cut off the assailants arm and leg, sparing their life.

Ai Shangke was quite arrogant.

Jun Changxiao answered a bit awkwardly, Elder Ai Frankly, your family was making trouble in front of my sect. It was not a disciple that taught him a lesson, but this Lord.

What? Ai Shangke was startled. It was you?

TN: Ai Shangke () sounds similar to loves to take lessons (), since both are pronounced as i shng k.
