Chapter 1: Starting with a Waste

Dagan Prefecture, Luoyang Town.

It was drizzling, not a good day for traveling, but the streets were bustling with people. Everyone was in high spirits.

There is no other reason. Today is the day when Qingshan Sect opens its gates and selects disciples.

In this vast world, Qingshan Sect is just a drop in the ocean, but in Dagan Province it is a well-known existence and the undisputed number one sect. Every year, tens of thousands of people come to Luoyang Town from afar, just to seek immortal fate and become immortals.

Li Yanmo sat on the steps, holding his chin and looking at the pedestrians on the street. The vision is sometimes focused and sometimes empty.

It has been some time since Li Yanmo awakened in this world.

As a qualified time traveler, Li Yanmo naturally carried the corresponding plug-in.

Li Yanmo gently turned the ring on his thumb. He had this thing on his hand since he woke up, but it was just a storage ring and there was no old man inside. His real capital is the thing that gave him the ring.

[The sect management system is at your service]

[Sect Master Li Yanmo, Cultivation Level: Mortal]

[Clan name: tentative, prestige level 0 (0/100)]

[Sect area: 0]

【Disciples recruited: 0】

[Resources distributed this month: 5,000 low-grade spirit stones, three marrow-nourishing pills, and yellow-grade Qi training techniques. 】

[Awarded when the number of apprentices is greater than 0]

As far as Li Yanmo knew, the elders of Qingshan Sect only paid 500 spirit stones as tribute per month. This sect's management system distributes 5,000 low-grade spirit stones a month, along with three marrow-nourishing pills and a Qi-training technique that only the sect possesses.

But that's also the problem.

A qualified sect leader must not be greedy for the sect's development funds, so as the sect leader he cannot use this windfall on himself.

So the question is, how can a person who has no cultivation at all trick others into becoming his disciple? How can one ensure that one's apprentice will not turn against one's parents after he has achieved certain accomplishments?

You know, backstabbing and stealing treasures is an element that must be evaluated in the world of cultivating immortals.

Fortunately, there is a solution in the sect experience system.

Li Yanmo raised his finger and swiped the interface to the bottom.

[Monthly review: If the assets are zero or negative, it is considered bankruptcy. 】

[Failure is common in the military. To ensure your comeback, bankruptcy subsidies will be issued——]

[Three strands of pure spiritual energy, lower-grade yellow palm technique, Fiery Palm]

[Note: Please do not let bankruptcy limit your business ideas. Excellent disciples can serve as guarantees to avoid bankruptcy.]

That's it!

Although he didn't know what the pure spiritual energy was, he knew it was a good thing just by hearing the name. Combined with the Qi Refining Technique, it could at least ensure that he had the cultivation level and wouldn't be stabbed in the back by his apprentice and have his treasure taken away.

The only problem now is how to reduce your assets to zero.

As long as the assets have not been reduced to zero, it is not considered bankruptcy. Once the resources are released next month, they will be even more abundant.

The Qingshan Sect's open selection is Li Yanmo's opportunity.

Of course, what Li Yanmo wants are not those talented disciples.

The better the talent, the higher the efficiency of cultivation. He is just a mortal now, and someone at the first level of Qi training can beat him half to death with just one slap.

So what Li Yanmo wants is a loser! Really, really useless piece of trash! It's useless no matter how much resources you invest!

The Qingshan Sect's selection process lasts for seven days, and the first day is to measure bone age and test spiritual roots. Most people will be eliminated in this round. For Qingshan Sect, these people are useless and a waste of resources, but for Li Yanmo, they are treasures that can be cashed in.

"There is light in this person's eyes. He looks like a smart person."

"This one is too strong. Even without cultivation, I can't defeat him."

"This one looks okay... Shit, the last name is Tang!? Slipped away, slipped away."

Contrary to expectations, Li Yanmo thought he could pick up two talented people. As a result, after several hours, not a single hair was caught. Either he has shifty eyes or you can tell at first glance that he is a martial artist.

Li Yanmo thought about it and felt relieved.

Anyone who can come from afar to pay homage to the mountain gate is a wise man.

Just as Li Yanmo was thinking about the long-term plan, light footsteps were heard. As soon as Li Yanmo raised his head, he smelled a foul odor, and a thin figure fell into Li Yanmo's arms with a thud.

He was a beggar who looked no more than eleven or twelve years old.

I don’t know how many times I fell into dirty water, my hair and face were covered with mud.

Li Yanmo was stunned at first, and subconsciously checked the beggar's breath.

There is only outgoing air, no incoming air. Li Yanmo was immediately shocked and quickly picked up the beggar and went to the only clinic in Luoyang Town.

There was only one pharmacist in the clinic, a woman in her twenties with teardrop moles at the corners of her eyes. The pharmacist’s surname is Jiang, and his name is Jiang Baili. He claims to be a descendant of Shennong and acts like a miracle doctor every day. He treats patients based on his personal interests, so many people in Luoyang Town would not come to this clinic for treatment even if they are sick.

Li Yanmo also felt that Lily Jiang was very abstract, but there was no way, without Lily Jiang’s spur of the moment, he might have died on the first day. Lily Jiang was also the only one who knew that Li Yanmo wanted to establish a sect and laughed at him loudly.

As soon as she entered the door, Lily Jiang, who was holding a pipe and puffing smoke, frowned.

"Are you so desperate to recruit a disciple that you kidnapped a child?"

Li Yanmo blinked and suddenly realized.

Children, especially orphans without parents, are indeed a good choice!

"Let's talk about this later. Take a look at the situation first."

"Ten taels."

"...Do you know that I only have ten taels?"

"yes."

Lily Jiang blew out a smoke ring.

Li Yanmo had no choice but to pay the money.

After taking the money, Lily Jiang stood up leisurely, spread her hand and held the beggar’s dirty wrist. But after three breaths, Lily Jiang’s originally leisurely expression gradually became solemn.

"Where did you pick up this girl?"

"Uh...she bumped into me," Li Yanmo couldn't help but get nervous, "Is her illness serious?"

"It's just a cold and malnutrition. Just eat enough and sleep for a few days and you'll be fine."

"I was scared to death."

"But there are big problems with her physique. If I'm not mistaken... she has the Cang Yao Sword Body, one of the supreme holy bodies in the Great Wilderness period."

Lily Jiang continued to hold the beggar’s wrist with her left hand, and took out an ancient book from under her skirt with her right hand, flipped through a few pages, and nodded.

"This meridian is correct."

Li Yanmo's eyes twitched wildly, "Is this sword very strong?"

"Why do you think this sword body is called the Supreme Saint Body of the Great Wilderness Period?" Jiang Baili closed the book. "The cultivation speed is a hundred times faster than that of ordinary people, and it can block the secrets of heaven. Even if you meet her face to face, you can't detect her cultivation level."

"Okay, I'll send her to Qingshan Sect right away."

Li Yanmo took a deep breath and said calmly.

Li Yanmo still has self-knowledge. This heaven-defying holy body that is obviously exclusive to the protagonist is simply not something he can control. Of course there are other reasons.

If this beggar took off with his resources, he would be regarded as an outstanding disciple and his bankruptcy plan would be scrapped.

For the good of the little beggar and for his own good, he should send the little beggar to Qingshan Sect.

“I advise you to save it,” Lily Jiang raised her hand and waved, “I’ve said it before, that’s the holy body from the Great Wilderness period.”

"The Cang Yao Sword Body itself has flaws, and it requires special techniques to achieve a training speed a hundred times faster than that of an ordinary person. If you want to block the secrets of the sky, you need a special mental method."

"And those have been lost for tens of thousands of years."

"Without the skills and mental methods, the Cang Yao Sword Body is just a useless body. No matter how many resources are invested, there will be no improvement."

Li Yanmo raised his head and said, "Are you sure? Is it possible that the mental method and that special technique can be found?"

"The possibility that I am Emperor Shennong is higher than your ability to find the skills and mental methods of the Cang Yao Sword Body, not to mention——"

Lily Jiang put the pipe aside, pinched a strand of the beggar’s hair, and gently crushed it, and a touch of snow-white emerged from the mud.

Lily Jiang gently lifted the beggar's eyelids again, and an abnormal blush appeared in front of Li Yanmo's eyes.

"This girl has a white disease, which is an incurable disease."

"I don't know how many spirit stones it will cost just to take care of her body."

Li Yanmo lowered his head to look at the beggar sleeping in his arms, and a dazzling light appeared in his eyes.

Found a treasure! ! !
