Chapter 503: You read that right, I really did see a group of skeletons farming.
"Fellow Daoist Hong," Bai Zhizhou said slowly, his tightly clenched fingers loosening at his sides.
His eyes were smiling.
When Li Ling turned around, she saw Bai Zhizhou's upturned lips:
"Master, it's been a long time since I've seen you smile like that."
After Li Ling finished speaking, all the cultivators who had come to the mountaintop were momentarily speechless with embarrassment.
What are these people doing? Are they putting on an awkward little drama in this poor, crappy sect?
Zhang Wan breathed a sigh of relief, and upon seeing a gathering of cultivators, he suddenly walked over to Jiang He:
"Excuse me, is this...?"
Zhang Wan paused, intending to inquire about matters related to joining the headquarters, but when his gaze fell on the tomato and rabbit egg noodles in Jiang He's alchemy furnace, his eyes were now only on the spiritual food:
"The materials are unusual."
Zhang Wan couldn't even identify the spiritual plant that Jiang He was using.
Jiang He noticed Zhang Wan and silently observed him.
She said that their Xiaoyao Sect is still quite popular, and its glory has not diminished in two thousand years.
Even Long Aotian from Bai Zhizhou has come, and now we've seen a rare guest.
She remembered clearly that Zhang Wan had been saying online a couple of days ago that their sect was a fraudulent organization.
But what they say is one thing; their actions tell a different story.
Jiang He appeared expressionless on the surface, but in her heart she had already planned how Zhang Wan would bring glory to the sect.
Zhang Wan, from the moment he saw the tomato and rabbit egg noodles, did not look away for a second.
His expression was complicated; he now truly believed the recruitment advertisement that the Free and Unfettered Sect had posted on the wall.
Even the spiritual food is available, and it's from a brand new spiritual recipe. If this spiritual food was made by the female cultivator in front of her, then high-grade pills shouldn't be difficult for her.
Jiang He nodded and notified everyone present that they had passed the Xiaoyao Sect's assessment.
Jiang He spoke.
Everyone on the field was just as surprised as Zhong Liyu had been.
Before they could say anything, two cultivators appeared beside Jiang He and chased them away.
The headless ghost and the half-body ghost had arrived at the mountaintop at some unknown time. They were carrying brochures about the Free and Unfettered Sect and handed one to each of them.
"Now that you know the results, go back. Just attend the sect conference at six o'clock tomorrow morning."
The headless ghost chased all the cultivators back, then sat down next to Jiang He without any ceremony. He served himself two bowls of noodles, handing one to the half-demon:
"Your food is really good. I'll fill a pot and take it to the two old men later."
"Thank you for your trouble," Jiang He said with a smile.
Since the two ghost cultivators arrived at the sect, the land has been cultivated, and with ghosts guarding the gate, the money has been well spent.
"Where are the sunflower seeds? That piece of land to the east belongs to you."
"okay."
The headless ghost took the mustard seed bag, and the two packed the food box and disappeared in an instant.
At this moment, a group of cultivators were descending the mountain. They had come on a fine journey, but on their way back, because the mountain was so large, they ended up on a flat, well-maintained patch of black soil.
It's normal for most sects to have planting bases.
But what they saw was not cultivators farming, but more than a hundred human skeletons.
Each humanoid skeleton was digging in the ground with a hoe; it was incredibly eerie.
One of the cultivators with Zhongli Yu suddenly shouted, his expression one of shock, clearly recognizing the skeleton's appearance:
"This...this...this is the Bone and Mud Monster?"
The cultivator stammered as he spoke, and froze on the spot for a moment.
"How could there be monsters in such a remote area of the mountains, especially since we haven't discovered any yet?"
"Incredible! There are demonic creatures inside the sect? It's just too far-fetched."
"What are you waiting for? It's definitely a monster made of bone and mud! Charge and attack!"
"This is also the sect I will be in after that. I will do my best to protect the sect."
"How childish of you guys are! Wait a minute..." Zhong Liyu suddenly grabbed a group of cultivators who were rushing forward:
"You guys, shouldn't you take a closer look before you rush in?"
Fortunately, Zhong Liyu was a man who had experienced many big events. At first, he was also a little puzzled because the skeleton looked exactly like the Bone Mud Monster in the Shenzhou College Entrance Examination video he had seen before. But after looking at it for a while, Zhong Liyu realized that the skeleton was only similar to the Bone Mud Monster. As for other aspects, it was completely different from the Bone Monster.
For example, it lacked any of the aura a monster should have, and the computer was unable to identify the type of monster to which the skeleton in front of it belonged.
Upon closer inspection, it's just an ordinary human-shaped skeleton.
"Something seems off."
"Their movements are strange; are they turning over the soil?"
"probably?"
"Why doesn't this monster attack on its own?"
"It's not a monster, so why would it attack on its own initiative?"
Zhong Liyu rolled his eyes. He looked closer and found that they were just humanoid skeletons.
"Hahaha, that scared me to death! I knew it! How could there be a demon in our sect?"
"Wait, I'll record a video with my personal computer and post it on Weibo. I'm sure there are a lot of people like me who have never seen a white skeleton that can farm."
"His hoeing posture is even more standard than mine."
"Is it a fully automated planting machine developed by the Free and Unfettered Sect? If so, I think it looks quite bizarre. With a shape like that, at least the cultivators who developed it should have some aesthetic sense."
"Does it have to be something that was researched? I remember that cultivators with dark spiritual roots can also summon undead or something. This creepy-looking thing couldn't have been summoned by some bored cultivator, could it?"
"Isn't the Free and Unfettered Sect a new sect? It shouldn't have any cultivators with such amazing spiritual roots."
"Yes."
Zhong Liyu tilted her head and looked at the skeleton's movements several times, somewhat incredulous.
They really are farming.
Zhong Liyu watched for a long time, until all the cultivators had left.
He discovered that the skeleton had not only turned over the soil, but also stuffed the seeds into the dug pits.
Zhong Liyu had mixed feelings; in this world, even lifeless skeletons had to work.
He sighed inwardly, feeling a pang of emotion.
In one day, Jiang He gradually recruited quite a few cultivators.
There are approximately five hundred people, and these five hundred people are basically all graduates of the Wanjue Academy.
Nine out of ten are Jiang He's classmates.
They are all acquaintances.
Jiang He cleared away the tables and chairs, and after rushing back, Mei Mei ate several more bowls of beef noodles.
At this moment, she was enjoying her meal and was unaware that another wave of public opinion about the Xiaoyao Sect had been stirred up online.
This isn't a discussion about whether the Xiaoyao Sect is a scam, but rather a genuine feeling that the cultivators who were tricked into joining the Xiaoyao Sect are truly pitiful.
[Has everyone seen the video of the Free and Unfettered Sect?]
Are you referring to a sect that was completely empty except for a gate?
I think I saw it. I was wondering which sect was so poor when I woke up this morning, but then I realized it was the Free and Unfettered Sect.
Wow, quite a few cultivators went to the scene. After seeing the videos they took, I even doubted whether this was really a sect, or just a temporary setup at a rented venue.
Uh, they're even poorer than our sect. At least our sect has two buildings. Looking back at the Free and Unfettered Sect, there's just a broken gate standing on the mountain. It's said that some rejected cultivators who went up to the top of the mountain couldn't see a single house along the way.
No way, they're already this poor?
