While Zhuge Feng was selecting a Sublime Methods, the two people outside were already staring at each other.
"You, you, you..." Xiao Lingxi's eyes widened, staring at Su Bai in disbelief. She felt that everything she had encountered tonight had overturned her understanding.
She originally thought she could act righteously and expose a swindler, but unexpectedly, she exposed a real one.
Su Bai clasped his hands behind his back and said with a smile, "Little girl, now, do you still suspect I'm a swindler?"
"I..." Xiao Lingxi was speechless, her cheeks flushed red, and she muttered in a low voice, "How was I supposed to know that you were actually someone with real ability?"
Su Bai shook his head, too lazy to bother with a mere young girl.
Just then, Zhuge Feng also walked out from the Immortal Arts Pavilion. He held a yellow scroll in his hand and respectfully came before Su Bai.
"Master, how much silver does this Sublime Methods require? If it's just the Sublime Methods for the Qi Refining First Stage, how much silver is needed?"
His voice trembled slightly, and Xiao Lingxi, who was standing beside him, also looked over.
Sublime Methods are the foundation upon which a Sect stands!
Many Sects regard Sublime Methods as treasures and a constant source of attracting Disciples.
Taking the Lingxiao Sect as an example, the Lingxiao Skill, the Lingxiao Sect's protective Sect Sublime Methods, is a high-grade Sublime Methods.
How does one learn the Lingxiao Skill?
First, one must become a servant Disciple, and after half a year, pass the official assessment to become an official Disciple.
Secondly, one needs to complete various Sect tasks to earn points. Only when the points are sufficient can one be eligible to exchange for the Lingxiao Skill.
Finally, after gaining the eligibility to exchange, it's not free to Cultivate; you still need to spend money to purchase it!
Qi Refining First Level Secret: 100 taels of silver
Qi Refining Second Level Secret: 300 taels of silver
Qi Refining Third Stage Secret: 100 taels of gold
One tael of gold is equal to ten taels of silver, so 100 taels of gold is a thousand taels of silver!
This is just the Cultivation Method for the first three stages of the Qi Refining Realm, and the later ones are even more outrageously expensive!
As the saying goes, if you don't have money, what Immortal are you cultivating?
Isn't it better to be an ordinary Mortal obediently?
Sublime Methods are so precious, how could Zhuge Feng not tremble?
Even though he hadn't started cultivating this Dao Scripture yet, he vaguely felt that it was no ordinary Sublime Methods. Its preciousness was probably no less than that of the Lingxiao Skill.
But the Sublime Methods was right in front of him, and he didn't have the silver to buy it now!
"Silver? What silver?"
Su Bai was confused.
He had read so many novels before he Transmigration, wasn't it always that Disciples joined a Sect and could then Cultivate Sublime Methods, all for free?
Why did it require silver when it came to him?
Zhuge Feng was stunned for a moment, thinking Su Bai hadn't heard clearly. Then he quickly said, "Master, how much silver does this Disciple need to pay to Cultivate this Sublime Methods?"
"No silver is needed. Since you are a Disciple of my Tiandao Sect, you can naturally Cultivate the Sublime Methods of my Tiandao Sect freely," Su Bai said with a smile.
Zhuge Feng was stunned, his head buzzing as if a bomb had exploded in it.
Such a precious Sublime Methods, free?
"Master, the Sublime Methods from Qi Refining First Stage to Refining Qi (Ninth Level), none of them require silver?"
He couldn't believe it, and even thought he was hallucinating.
The Sublime Methods for the first three stages were already astronomically expensive, let alone all nine stages...
"What, you're not willing?" Su Bai raised an eyebrow slightly and said with a half-smile, "I'm giving you the opportunity to Cultivate Sublime Methods, don't let me down!"
Zhuge Feng looked up. His Master stood with his hands behind his back, smiling, as radiant as the bright moon tonight.
The moonlight poured down like water, making him appear like a banished Immortal descending to the world, as if he were an Immortal who had come down to save the common people.
Recalling the hardships he endured as a servant in the Lingxiao Sect and the days when he was constantly suppressed, it formed a world of difference from this moment.
His body trembled violently as if electrocuted. A surging and turbulent hot blood rushed to his head like a volcanic eruption.
"Plop."
He actually knelt on both knees and kowtowed heavily. His tone was firm, and he said loudly, "Disciple Zhuge Feng, thanks Master!"
Seeing this scene, Su Bai couldn't help but smile.
Beside him, Xiao Lingxi was already dumbfounded. Her pair of watery beautiful eyes were wide open, and her mouth opened several times, but no sound came out.
Her heart was filled with extreme shock and astonishment.
A complete Sublime Methods for the full Refining Qi (Ninth Level), free?
Even her Family, to buy a complete set of Qi Refining Realm Sublime Methods, would probably be a significant expense, right?
Are you sure he's not a swindler?
"Master, I wonder what tasks this Disciple needs to complete daily?" Zhuge Feng looked up and asked.
When joining a Sect, whether a servant or an official Disciple, one must prioritize completing the daily tasks. Generally, daily tasks take six to seven hours.
If the tasks are not completed, the punishment can be very severe.
Only after completing the tasks can one spare a little time to Cultivate.
I wonder what the daily tasks are in the Tiandao Sect?
"Tasks? Your task is to Cultivate well. The higher your cultivation, the greater your contribution to the Sect."
Su Bai said lightly.
Upon hearing this, Zhuge Feng was stunned.
The task is to Cultivate?
What is this equivalent to?
It's equivalent to earning money while lying down!
"What are you still standing there for? Hurry up and Cultivate!" Su Bai urged.
Only then did Zhuge Feng suddenly come back to his senses. He bowed deeply to Su Bai and said, "This Disciple obeys!"
Turning around, his tears couldn't help but flow down.
His parents were beaten to death, but he didn't cry. He silently buried his parents and swore in his heart that he would take Revenge.
When he was a servant, he was targeted by Wang Executive and did the hardest and most tiring work because he had no money to bribe. He didn't cry either, secretly swearing to become an Immortal.
His spot was replaced, and he didn't pass the assessment, but he still didn't cry!
But now, all his strength and all his grievances turned into drops of crystal tears, sliding down his cheeks.
A man's tears do not flow easily, only when he reaches the point of true sorrow!
"Master, with such great kindness, this Disciple will definitely repay you, even if it costs me my life!"
Zhuge Feng murmured in his heart, wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, found a place outside the main hall, sat down, and cultivated silently.
He silently recited the Sublime Methods, and according to the records on the Sublime Methods, he guided Spiritual Qi and began to Cultivate.
The Spiritual Qi gradually converged, turning into a faint silver glow, enveloping Zhuge Feng's body and forming a circle that revolved around him.
"One, two, three, four... seventeen, eighteen, nineteen, twenty breaths to complete one circulation!"
Xiao Lingxi's breathing became a little rapid, as if she had seen the most incredible thing in the world.
She stretched out her hand and rubbed her eyes, then carefully observed Zhuge Feng's cultivation again. It was still the same time as before.
How is this possible?!
Xiao Lingxi's eyes widened, her face full of shock.
In this world, the quality of a Sublime Methods is related to the time it takes to circulate during cultivation!
Some trash Sublime Methods circulating in the black market can only complete one or two circulations in an hour. Cultivating to the Qi Refining First Stage would take forever.
Even this can sell for a high price!
After all, the Qi Refining First Stage is also considered an Immortal in the eyes of Mortals.
Some small Sects or small Families and small Influences have slightly higher quality Sublime Methods, which can complete dozens of circulations in an hour.
The Family she belonged to was a prominent Family in the Great Zhao Empire, and their Family Sublime Methods could complete fifty-two circulations in an hour.
And the Lingxiao Sect, which is among the top 500 of the Immortal Alliance, its protective Sect Sublime Methods, the Lingxiao Skill, can complete sixty-one circulations in an hour!
And what did she just see?
