Bai Wenyuan stroked his beard.
In the past, if someone at the half-step immortal realm wanted to join the Star Moon Sect, he would have welcomed them with great fanfare.
But times have changed.
In the future, the number of people who want to join the Star Moon Sect will only increase.
He certainly can't accept everything.
We need to come up with some stringent conditions.
If all those conditions can be met, then let Qingqing make the final decision.
If you can't even meet the conditions you set for yourself, then there's no need for you to bother with all your heart and soul.
"Sect Leader Bai, I wish to join the Star Moon Sect. I'm willing to do anything, even chop wood and tend fires." Luo Xing then took a half step back, bowed deeply, and performed a grand salute.
Niu Shanming touched his chin; his teeth ached a little.
Why does this old man Luo keep copying himself?
Then he felt a sense of relief and pride, relieved that he had joined the Star Moon Sect early, and proud of his broad vision and courage.
Before Bai Wenyuan could answer, Wukong said, "Master has arrived."
After saying that, he skipped over.
"Wukong, didn't you go to find the Ancestor? What are you doing here?" Bai Qingqing asked.
"Because the old sect leader is here," Wukong said.
Bai Qingqing then noticed that Bai Wenyuan and the ancestor of the Taiji Divine Luo clan were all standing together in neat rows.
And there's Mr. Luo, whom I met just today.
"Ancestor, all the Hall Masters Niu, Elder Luo, you're all here," Bai Qingqing greeted with a smile.
"Qingqing, it's so late, why did you come here?" Bai Wenyuan stepped forward and asked respectfully yet affectionately.
It's really tough for him; he can't just lick like others, he has to be careful about the boundaries.
"I suddenly had a whim to modify the winner-takes-all system again," Bai Qingqing said.
"Modify?" Bai Wenyuan asked hurriedly, "Is there a problem? I wonder what kind of modification Qingqing wants?"
"There are no problems. I just wanted to add some more benefits for everyone," Bai Qingqing said. "I designed a points system that everyone can redeem."
As she spoke, she waved her slender hand.
A magnificent nine-story pagoda rumbled down beside the victor.
At each of the four corners of the pagoda eaves is a string of nine golden bells.
The wind did not stir it; all was silent.
In front of the tower, there is also a stone tablet that details the rules for exchanging items and opening each floor in turn.
Of course, the phrase "the rules will be supplemented and modified at any time until they are perfect" is also indispensable.
The higher the level, the better the items you can redeem there.
However, currently only the first floor is open.
There are nine rooms inside.
On the door of the room, there is a detailed description of the item, its uses, and the points required to redeem it.
If you wish to exchange, simply place your palm on the paper.
If you have enough points, the colorless light shield at the entrance of the room will flash green, allowing you to pass through freely.
Conversely, if it flashes red, it cannot pass.
Anyone who tries to force their way in will be blacklisted from the Nine-Story Tower and barred from entering for anywhere from one month to three years.
After the nine-story exquisite pagoda was completed, the disciples of the Star Moon Sect curiously rushed inside.
Then came a constant stream of exclamations like "Wow," "Holy crap," "Awesome," and "Awesome."
Bai Wenyuan and the others were itching to try it out.
Bai Qingqing smiled and said, "The items on the first floor are rather low-level; the Ancestor and the several Hall Masters Niu don't need them."
As they were talking, someone rushed out of the tower.
He first cupped his hands in a gesture of gratitude toward Bai Qingqing, saying, "Thank you, Junior Sister."
Then he hurriedly shouted, "Qi Refining Realm cultivators, Qi Refining Realm cultivators, come quickly! Nine out of ten are needed, we'll leave once we're full."
After him, more and more people came out.
They all expressed their gratitude to Bai Qingqing without prior arrangement, and then formed teams to compete for the eight spots.
Earn points.
Bai Qingqing was very happy.
Great, hurry up and roll them up, we can spend more spirit stones if we roll them up.
"Qingqing, Elder Luo wants to join our Star Moon Sect. What do you think?" Bai Wenyuan asked.
Upon hearing this, Luo Xingran immediately clenched her fingers nervously.
She wanted to say a few words in her defense, but then she remembered that she was nothing more than an ant in front of her husband.
Those assets that were once a source of pride are now too shameful to mention.
Only one loyal heart.
"Sir, if I can join the Star Moon Sect, I will be loyal to the end, even unto death." Luo Xingran's voice trembled with nervousness.
"It's best to leave this matter to the Ancestor," Bai Qingqing said with a smile. "However, I think Mr. Luo is indeed quite good."
He gave her fruit trees and pet eggs as gifts.
Most importantly, she could sense that this person was very pure and full of kindness.
Xiao Hao said that this was an enhancement brought to her by the Tianyuan Technique, which allowed her to roughly perceive a person's good and evil.
Luo Xingran's heart, which had been pounding in her throat, finally settled back into her stomach.
"Qingqing is right, Elder Luo is indeed excellent." Bai Wenyuan smiled. "If he could join my Star Moon Sect, he would surely be a great help in the future."
"I would gladly die for it," Luo Xingran said excitedly.
"I'm going out with my mother tomorrow, so I won't bother you elders any longer," Bai Qingqing said.
Wukong glanced at the long, bustling queue at the entrance to the "Winner Takes All" gate and transmitted his voice, "It seems we can't get in today. Let's try again another day."
"Alright, go ahead," Bai Wenyuan said with a kind smile. "Get some rest."
As Bai Qingqing turned around, her sleeve fluttered lightly, and a small piece of paper rolled down to Niu Shanming's feet.
Niu Shanming paused for a moment, then bent down to pick it up.
I didn't pick it up.
That tiny ball of paper seemed to have taken root, carrying immense weight.
Niu Shanming took a deep breath, his spiritual energy surging, his face turning red, before he picked up the small piece of paper.
Bai Qingqing had already disappeared without a trace.
Bai Wenyuan and the others hurried over.
Niu Shanming unfolded the document with trembling hands; it contained only the character "water".
Its strokes are like silver hooks and iron lines, yet it is also delicate and flawless.
“Water, water, the law of water.” Niu Shanming’s eyes widened, and he stammered so hard that he even broke his lip.
"Congratulations, Boss Niu." Bai Wenyuan, feeling envious, quickly cupped his hands in congratulations.
"Congratulations, brother." The other cows also looked delighted and envious.
"Congratulations, Hall Master Niu." Besides feeling envious, Luo Xingran was even more grateful that she had just joined the Star Moon Sect.
As long as he works diligently for his master, he may have such an opportunity in the future.
"Hahahaha..." Niu Shanming burst into laughter, and as he laughed, his eyes welled up with tears.
He spent his entire life striving to reach the half-step immortal realm, only to discover in the end that the laws of Heaven were damaged.
I thought I had no hope of becoming an immortal in this lifetime, but I never expected to meet you, Master.
The gentleman was like a ray of light shining into his world, showing him the path to the future.
Now, the Law of Water has been bestowed upon him.
"Heaven is above all, I, Niu Shanming, am willing to be your vanguard, even if it means facing mountains of knives and seas of fire, I will not hesitate to die ten thousand times." Niu Shanming excitedly pointed to the sky and swore an oath.
