Pay to Cultivate Immortality? My Sect is Completely Free - Chapter 3

Chapter 3: Let Go of Helping Others, Respect Their Fate

Su Bai waited a little longer and added another line to the sign.

Meals and accommodations included!

Learn Immortal Technique upon entry into the sect!

He removed all the empty and grandiose claims about becoming the number one sect in the future and focused on being practical and truthful!

He only needed one disciple to upgrade the sect and open the Immortal Law Pavilion. At that point, wouldn’t all kinds of Immortal Techniques be available?

As the sky gradually darkened, Su Bai couldn’t help but sigh softly, preparing to pack up and find a bridge to sleep under for the night.

“Excuse me, Immortal Master, is it really possible to learn Immortal Techniques upon entry into the sect?”

At that moment, a voice came from behind him.

Su Bai turned around to see a young man in a blue robe standing behind him, looking reserved.

There was a hint of exhaustion in his brow, but his gaze was filled with determination and desire.

“That’s right. Once you join the sect and take a master, you can immediately access Immortal Techniques.”

Su Bai composed himself; this was the first person to ask about it today, and no matter how the person looked, he needed to respond patiently.

However, as soon as he began to speak, a group of people gathered around.

“This is a scam; how can you believe it?”

“Exactly! The crude tricks they use nowadays still thinking it’s ten years ago?”

“Young man, thirty taels of silver is hard to earn; be careful not to get scammed!”

The crowd chattered and mocked, their eyes filled with disdain and contempt as if they were looking at garbage.

Zhuge Feng remained silent, not foolish; he knew that Su Bai was ninety-nine percent likely a fraud.

But there was still that one percent, right?

Even if there was only a one percent chance of touching the hope of learning Immortal Techniques, he… did not want to give up!

However, thirty taels of silver…

Seeing the young man fall silent, Su Bai shook his head. It seemed he had already been branded as a fraud and a fool; there would be no disciples recruited.

Tomorrow, he would find a different location for the Hundred Sect Gathering and change his attire!

“Excuse me, Immortal Master, is it possible to settle the thirty taels of silver at the end of the month?” Zhuge Feng mustered the courage to ask softly.

He knew this request was unreasonable, with a rejection probability of up to ninety-nine percent.

All sects and forces almost always demanded the silver for the month to be submitted at the beginning of the month, with no exceptions for credit.

But now, he was completely broke, and it was unavoidable.

“Settle the silver at the end of the month? No problem! Don’t worry, our sect will definitely not default!” Su Bai assured, patting his chest.

Before his transmigration, he hated companies that delayed salary payments. After coming to this world as the sect leader, he couldn’t promise much, but he would ensure that his disciples received fair treatment!

Only those who have experienced getting soaked in the rain can understand how uncomfortable it is.

Zhuge Feng was stunned; he did not expect that someone would actually be willing to extend credit.

“Immortal Master, are you… certain?”

“Hmm, of course!”Su Bai nodded.

“Immortal Master, I am Zhuge Feng, and I wish to join the Heavenly Dao Sect!” Zhuge Feng quickly bowed.

“Zhuge Feng, right? Once we return to the Heavenly Dao Sect, we can formalize your apprenticeship. Do you have time now?”

“Yes, I have nowhere to go; I can follow the Immortal Master to the sect.”

As Su Bai took Zhuge Feng away, the crowd couldn’t help but laugh.

“Is this boy a fool? He didn’t even see through such a clumsy scam?” someone mocked.

Another person chimed in, “Exactly, look at him; he probably isn’t very bright.”

Someone interjected, “Oh, let it go, he just said he has no money, even if he wanted to scam someone, he wouldn’t get much.”

“Hey, who says a scam is only about money? What if he’s after something like a kidney? Haven’t you heard of those big shots needing young, healthy kidneys for…?” another person said.

At that moment, someone in the crowd sighed and shook his head, saying, “Let go of this desire to help others and respect others’ destinies; our own lives are difficult enough, why invite more trouble?”

The rest nodded in agreement, saying, “That boy dares to come out and scam; he might have forces backing him. We, as common folks, cannot afford to offend him!”

The crowd turned and left, and these words fell into Zhuge Feng’s ears. He looked up, but Su Bai’s figure had already vanished from sight.

Heh, anyway, there was nowhere else to go.

Let him scam if he wants to!

But what if it’s true?

Thinking of this, he quickly quickened his pace to follow Su Bai.

Seeing Zhuge Feng following him, Su Bai smiled slightly; it seemed that his task of recruiting disciples was about to be accomplished!

“Stop!”

Just after leaving the Hundred Sect Gathering for a short while, a sharp voice suddenly rang out.

Su Bai looked up and saw a girl glaring at him angrily.

The girl in front of him had willow-like eyebrows resembling distant mountains, a delicate and upright nose, red lips, white teeth, and skin whiter than snow, with long hair cascading down to her waist.

Wow, what a beautiful girl!

Her anger didn’t diminish her charm!

Xiao Lingxi.

“Hey, young lady, what are you doing?”

The girl looked at Su Bai with disdain and said to Zhuge Feng, “This is a scammer, don’t let him fool you!”

Su Bai couldn’t help but chuckle: “Miss, you can’t just claim that without evidence. Do you have proof that I’m a scammer?”

The girl huffed and said, “All sects require new disciples to serve as disciples for six months before they can access Immortal Techniques. You can learn Immortal Techniques right away upon joining, how is that not a scam?”

Su Bai laughed, “Miss, just because other sects take six months to access Immortal Techniques, how does that relate to my sect allowing you to learn them upon joining?”

“What kind of kind-hearted sect is that? It’s got to be a scammer!” The girl clearly didn’t believe him.

“You don’t believe it, so be it.” Su Bai shrugged, too lazy to argue with her.

He looked at Zhuge Feng and said, “If you trust me, follow me. If you don’t, feel free to leave.” While he desperately needed a disciple, he would never force anyone! After saying this, Su Bai turned to leave; whether Zhuge Feng believed him was his own matter.

Seeing this, Zhuge Feng gritted his teeth and finally made up his mind: “Disciple trusts the Immortal Master!”

Hearing this, Su Bai stopped in his tracks and turned around in surprise: “You really trust me?”

“Yes, disciple believes in the Immortal Master!” Zhuge Feng nodded vigorously.

“Then let’s go!” Su Bai smiled at ease and started walking.

This feeling of being trusted was quite nice.

While Su Bai felt good, Xiao Lingxi was on the verge of going crazy. She never expected that someone like Zhuge Feng could be so stubborn!

How could he believe a fraud so clearly?

“Damn it, this bastard! I must expose your true face!” Xiao Lingxi stomped her foot fiercely and chased after Su Bai.

“Hey, miss, why are you following me again?” Su Bai was exasperated; was this girl like an annoying sticky plaster?

Xiao Lingxi snorted coldly and said with righteous indignation, “I’m going to expose you as a scammer!”

“It’s getting dark, why are you, a little girl, pestering me instead of going home?” Su Bai rolled his eyes; he really couldn’t understand what was going on in her head.

“You don’t need to worry about that, I can protect myself!” Xiao Lingxi lifted her head, revealing a treasured sword at her waist.
