Pay to Cultivate Immortality? My Sect is Completely Free - Chapter 56

Chapter 56: The Sect that Distributes Money, Shaking the Empire

After the first batch of disciples descended the mountain and entered the city, news of the Heavenly Dao Sect distributing silver gradually spread.

At first, not many people knew about it, so the news traveled slowly. However, once it reached a larger audience, the speed of dissemination would become completely uncontrollable!

As a result, just as Su Bai had anticipated, in the following days, the reputation of the Heavenly Dao Sect exploded!

“What? The Heavenly Dao Sect has free Immortal Techniques, and every month not only do they not collect silver, but they also distribute silver?”

“No way, is this for real? Don’t kid me! Are there really sects handing out silver in this world?”

“Free Immortal Techniques? Thirty taels a month? One hundred taels for a successful Qi Refining? The higher your cultivation level, the more you receive?”

“And there are no age restrictions for assessments? It doesn’t matter if you’re poor or ugly, everyone can join?”

“This isn’t a sect; this is like a caring parent!”

The people of Yunshui City were initially taken aback.

Then, surprise and excitement blossomed on their faces, as a wave of immense joy surged throughout their bodies!

Joining such a sect would be an incredible stroke of luck!

Thus, more and more people crowded around the Mountain Gate of the Heavenly Dao Sect, all eager to pass the assessment and enter the sect, creating a bustling scene.

With the announcement of distributing silver, not only did the number of people participating in the assessments multiply several times, but even more importantly, the favorability of the sect among these individuals also surged significantly! Previously, at most, only a dozen new entrants passed the assessment in a day. Now, that number had suddenly increased multiple times!

In no time, this news spread wildly throughout Yunshui City and quickly reached the surrounding counties! And it continued to extend even further. The Heavenly Dao Sect had completely made a name for itself in the Empire!

Previously, the reputation from the Heavenly Dao Sect for slaying disciples of the Lingxiao Sect had only circulated among the major sects in the Empire, and the common people paid no attention to such things. To them, as long as they had enough to eat, it didn’t matter how many new rulers came and went. But this time it was different!

Originally, everyone could only eat a simple meal once a day, and they could barely afford a meal with meat once a year. Life was tight. But now, there was an Immortal Sect that provided food, lodging, free admission, and free lessons in Immortal Techniques, plus they distributed thirty taels of silver every month!

Thirty taels! Under the current oppression of the sects and landlords, even putting food on the table had become a problem for them; it would take them a long time to earn thirty taels. But as a disciple of the Heavenly Dao Sect, they could receive thirty taels every month!

It was madness, completely madness!

In a major city a thousand miles away from the Heavenly Dao Sect, at the corner of a street, a beggar sat against the wall, staring blankly ahead. This beggar was unkempt, with a dirty face, tattered clothes, and a disheveled appearance, making it hard to see his features. He just fixed his gaze in one direction, unmoving, not knowing if he was alive or dead.

“Hey, have you heard about the thing with the Heavenly Dao Sect?”

“Is it true that the Heavenly Dao Sect, the one that’s been making waves these days with its Nascent Soul experts, has free entry?”

“Yeah, I heard that the Heavenly Dao Sect has no entrance fees and gives out dozens of taels of silver every month!”

“I’ve heard about that too, but it can’t be real, right? Those sects are dying to charge more, how could they possibly give out silver for free?”

“I don’t know, but we can barely scrape by here. Why don’t we go check it out? What if it’s true?”

A few passersby chatted excitedly about the Heavenly Dao Sect, exchanging eager comments.

Upon hearing their conversation, the beggar, who had been staring blankly, suddenly shifted his gaze.

A glimmer of light slowly began to focus in his murky eyes.

“Free entry… monthly silver payments…”

He murmured, and the light in his eyes gradually became clearer.

With this thought, he slowly stood up and walked into the middle of the road.

“Damn it, I’m already in a terrible mood, and seeing you filthy beggars makes it worse. Someone get rid of him!”

A Young Master, dressed in luxurious clothes, yelled angrily as if he had been wronged somewhere.

Immediately, a group of lackeys following him rushed towards the beggar.

“Hmph, even if the King of Hell came today, he couldn’t save you. Dare to block my way? Watch yourself in the next life!”

The Young Master declared arrogantly, a cruel smile playing on his lips.

“Bang!”

Several wooden sticks struck the beggar’s head directly, yet the beggar seemed unharmed; all the sticks, however, shattered on impact!

At the same time, the beggar slowly turned his head, his deep gaze leisurely sweeping over the Young Master and his lackeys.

In an instant, both the Young Master and the lackeys appeared as if they had been struck by a spell, frozen in place.

A look of horror filled their wide-open eyes, but the brilliance within them gradually dimmed.

“Tear!”

In the next moment, the void beside the beggar was ripped apart, and his figure vanished in an instant.

“Bang!”

As the beggar left, the Young Master and his lackeys collapsed to the ground, breathless and lifeless…

………….

A thousand miles away, high in the clouds at Lingxiao Mountain, stood a colossal entity known as the Lingxiao Sect!

At this moment, on the highest peak of the Lingxiao Sect, two figures stood.

One was a young man with two treasured swords on his back, wrapped in a black robe, radiating an overwhelming sword intent. With one sword strike, he seemed able to split heaven and sever seas!

The other was an old man with white hair yet a youthful face.

The old man stood with his hands clasped behind his back, overlooking the vast land below from the mountaintop.

“Lingxiao, what do you think about the Heavenly Dao Sect?”

The old man spoke flatly, his voice deep, yet carrying an immense authority.

He was an unimaginably legendary powerhouse!

“Master, that Sect Master Su Bai of the Heavenly Dao Sect killed one of our Lingxiao Sect elders and murdered our disciples; he must not be forgiven!” The young man in black snorted coldly, his eyes flickering with a cold light.

“That’s not what I meant. What I was asking about was the Heavenly Dao Sect giving silver to their disciples,” the old man replied, waving his hand.

“Handing out silver? Heh, I don’t believe there are any such naive Nascent Soul experts in this world who would give silver to those ants. In my opinion, this is just a scheme of the Heavenly Dao Sect!”

“Master, let me go and make the Heavenly Dao Sect pay for their actions!”

The young man in black shook his head and scoffed, his eyes filled with disdain.

Seeing this, the old man furrowed his brows slightly and sighed, “Lingxiao, while your talent is exceptional, the smooth sailing of the past century has fostered a sense of arrogance in you.”

“Remember, until the day you step into the Nascent Soul stage, never underestimate such powerful beings.”

The young man in black retorted, “Isn’t Master here with us? That Sect Master of the Heavenly Dao Sect, how could he possibly defy the heavens?”

The old man shook his head, “Though I am powerful, which Nascent Soul in this world is an easy opponent? Without three peers joining forces, it won’t be easy to keep him here.”

“If we can’t defeat such a strong opponent at once and allow him to escape, then from now until he perishes, neither you nor I will be able to rest easy.”

The young man in black snorted, “Are we just going to sit back and watch the Heavenly Dao Sect develop and threaten our position?”

“Don’t worry, I have a plan.” A cold smile appeared at the corners of the old man’s mouth, “How could they offend my Lingxiao Sect and go unpunished?”

“I have informed the Immortal Alliance, and before long, they will send powerful experts to come!”
