Chapter 886: Chapter 103: You’re the Outer Sect Disciple I Have the Highest Hopes For

Martial Heart Sect.

Gan Jiu and Shi Dazhu are a bit anxious waiting for Li Xin, this little brat has been out playing for so long, it’s just too outrageous. All the dirty and tiring work in the sect is dumped on them. They’re well-known in the loose cultivator circle, doing such chores every day is just infuriating. Even though Fang Chi supports Li Xin, Gan Jiu and Shi Dazhu, always put on an act.

Stirring up trouble is bound to have an effect if done persistently.

Returning to his own courtyard in the Martial Heart Sect, Li Xin entered and saw a clean and tidy room, obviously someone tidied up. Fang Chi wouldn’t do it, then it must be Fatty Nine. Of course, Fatty Nine wouldn’t be so kind-hearted; most likely he turned the place upside down. Even if asked, he would use cleaning as an excuse.

Li Xin’s Eye of Secret Gaze scanned and found no abnormalities. These two guys won’t give up, most likely plotting something. During his stay at Jiuxiao Building, whether Taiyin School or Zhengyang School, there are rules to some extent; Taiyin School is just harsher. But loose cultivators really have no rules.

Early next morning, before Li Xin woke up, the courtyard gate opened, "Li Xin, come out!"

Outside rang Fang Chi’s voice, Li Xin reluctantly crawled out of bed, saw Fang Chi, Gan Jiu, and Shi Dazhu outside, Gan Jiu and Shi Dazhu stood behind Fang Chi, looking like two eunuchs.

"You brat actually know to come back!" Fang Chi snorted.

Li Xin rubbed his eyes, "Young Sect Master, I came back last night. It was too late, so I didn’t climb the mountain."

"How did the matter go?" Fang Chi asked reservedly.

"Mission accomplished," Li Xin replied.

Fang Chi tried to hold back a smile, suddenly turned, and tapped Shi Dazhu and Gan Jiu on the heads with his sword sheath, "What are you two doing here? Not cooking? Otherwise, the inner sect brothers will be left with nothing to eat!"

Gan Jiu and Shi Dazhu glared at Li Xin unhappily, covering their heads, walking away step by step, Fang Chi unsheathed his sword pointing at them, "Get lost, sneaky rats!"

Gan Jiu and Shi Dazhu scurried away. Once turned back, Fang Chi restored his demeanor as the upright Young Sect Master of a major sect, "Ahem, what about the spoils?"

"Thanks to the reputation of the Martial Heart Sect, fellow townsmen are very willing to sponsor me." Li Xin pulled out a bag and handed it to Fang Chi.

Fang Chi was slightly taken aback; he actually hadn’t held much hope, since relying on others is not always successful. Yet Li Xin truly brought something back.

"Wait, Middle-Grade Spirit Stone?"

Fang Chi’s eyes widened. Besides six Low-Grade Spirit Stones, some loose Lira, there was also a Middle-Grade Spirit Stone, this...

Compared with the last time, the Guiyuan Pill doesn’t seem a loss after all.

In a flash, the spirit stone bag vanished, Fang Chi patted Li Xin on the shoulder, "You know, among the entire Outer Sect, you’re the one I favor most."

"Young Sect Master, I won’t go out anymore; I will focus on cultivating within the sect." Li Xin said.

"Cough, cough, Junior Brother Li, that’s not the way; closing doors to create cars won’t work. You practice occasionally, stroll down the mountain occasionally. It’s fate meeting fellow townsmen from afar in Divine Land; moreover, you are fellow villagers. When they face difficulties, as a sect disciple, you should lend a hand, right? Go ahead, I’ve got you covered!" Fang Chi patted his chest, thinking, damn it, where do these wealthy villagers come from? Even have Middle-Grade Spirit Stones.

"But how did you get this Middle-Grade Spirit Stone?"

"Actually, among my fellow townsmen, some are good at business, lacking cultivation talent but trying hard to earn more money. Their identities make trading elixirs risky, so I help them out. This is their gratuity."

"Helping people and aiding the needy are our sect master’s beliefs. Though you’re an Outer Disciple, you’ve already grasped the true meaning. Rest assured, I’ve got it in my mind. From now on, do as you please, cultivate well, and let Fatty Nine and Idiot Zhu handle the chores." Fang Chi said with delight, the cultivation resources suddenly improved. Unlike his inflexible elder sister, he’s different. When Gan Jiu joined, his sister said Outer Disciples weren’t needed, yet the meals improved immediately. Later Shi Dazhu came, and the sect started using Spiritual Spring Water; Inner Disciples could focus solely on cultivation without squabbles over tasks. Now with Li Xin, it’s even more remarkable; he might as well become a money magnet."

No wonder major sects maintain a lot of Outer Disciples; the benefits are immense.

After sending Fang Chi off, Li Xin began practicing Martial Heart Technique. The effect in the mountains was considerably better than in the city; the Spiritual Energy was more abundant, and it was easier to focus. Meanwhile, Fatty Nine and Idiot Zhu were busy as heck. Doing some work was not the main point, mainly serving a bunch of Inner Disciples was truly tough. They were mistreated by Wang Zhigao and then end up nitpicking them. As Outer Disciples, they could only endure. Sometimes they really wanted to beat them up.

Yet for their grand Golden Core plan, they decided to vent their anger on Li Xin.

At the training ground, Wang Zhigao looked at everyone, "You’ve preliminarily mastered using Spiritual Ability during this training period, but now you should know that using Spiritual Ability differs from using physical strength. You can’t use the physical force method to drive Spiritual Ability, like, say, archery. Spiritual Ability inside you is akin to the force stored in a bowstring; the more stored, the more explosive it becomes, yet it’s not completely identical. Accumulating Spiritual Ability internally is more complex; too long or too little an accumulation both won’t do. There’s a rhythm here; the accumulation rhythm and release rhythm must align, must be mastered to exert maximum effect instead of relying solely on brute force. During brute force use, much of the stored power of Spiritual Ability gets wasted."

Wang Zhigao’s speech bewildered all present. Lately, using the big needles just started to feel effective, thanks to Elder Wang’s abundant rewards. Though his scolding was harsh, if one performs well, he really pours out Spirit Stones generously. With Spirit Stones, the efficiency of practicing Martial Heart Technique at night is heightened.

"Elder, I don’t get it." Xue Yong raised his hand and asked.

Wang Zhigao was getting into a groove, looking closely, except Fang Qingning and Fang Chi pondering thoughtfully, everyone else seemed bewildered. Suddenly, he felt choked inside.

"Look at those masters; actually, the strength of Spiritual Ability is about the same, even if more, it’s limited. But why does their technique’s power vary greatly during use?" Wang Zhigao restrained his temper.

"Because their cultivation technique is superior!"

"No, their weapon is superior. Treasure Artifacts from Ten Thousand Rooster Hall are formidable; some are rumored to amplify Spirit Root."

"Also sect secret techniques!"

"Probably they train daily with Top-Grade Spirit Stones; how can it be the same?"

...

"Shut up, a bunch of stupid pigs. It’s because they’ve mastered an effective Spiritual Ability driving method, Martial Heart Technique is already a top technique in Divine Land. You’re a bunch of waste. Blessed yet unaware of it; if any of you could operate the Martial Heart Technique completely, you’d sit at the top ten!" Wang Zhigao nearly wished he could strangle these guys.
