Chapter 497 is no different from a walking spirit stone.
Chapter 497 is no different from a walking spirit stone.
An Yutang opened the file and flipped through it casually without looking at it in detail.
Now, the reissue of sect documents is integrated; you can complete the process in one go simply by entering the relevant number.
An Yutang found the sect number in the file and entered it.
Immediately following, the page on the computer screen refreshed, and within a second, a message indicating that the replacement had been successfully completed appeared on the screen.
An Yutang was stunned for a full three seconds before she came to her senses.
She looked confused.
That's not right. She clearly didn't find the Xiaoyao Sect when she checked earlier.
How could it possibly be possible to successfully replace it?
An Yutang lowered her eyebrows and eyes, initially thinking that there was a problem with the system.
She turned back to look at the documents Jiang He had provided, and when she saw the expiration dates, she was completely dismayed:
"Your...your sect's credentials have expired 1,956 years ago?"
An Yutang's voice gradually became stammering.
No, this was the first time she had ever witnessed a document that had expired for so long.
Sect certificates are usually valid for 100 years, but this so-called Free and Unfettered Sect certificate she saw had expired in 1956, and no one had come to renew it all these years.
Not to mention the recording system.
After the Great Cataclysm, many technologies in the Empire of All Spirits transitioned from relying primarily on mechanical potential energy to using spiritual energy and spirit stones as energy sources.
As a result, much of the data that was originally stored was moved to a new storage medium.
The database was updated sequentially.
An Yutang had naturally studied the history of that period, and she had just been speculating about two possibilities.
Now, their faces have been proven wrong.
How could it be a sect founded two thousand years ago, and just happened to escape the database update period?
An Yutang was completely baffled.
Jiang He nodded in response to An Yutang's question.
Considering the founding date of the Free and Unfettered Sect, it wasn't surprising that their credentials had expired.
"It expired. Have you renewed it now?"
"Wait, let me check."
An Yutang looked incredulous. She looked at the information about this Xiaoyao Sect and found that they had lived longer than her great-grandmother.
She had no idea about sects that existed even before the Great Catastrophe.
An Yutang secretly glanced at the information about the founding date of the Xiaoyao Sect on the system.
Upon seeing this, An Yutang was truly shocked.
The Free and Unfettered Sect was founded in the year 4000 of the New Interstellar Era. Its founder was—
Yu Cui.
An Yutang's eyes widened, and she almost cried out in surprise.
If it weren't for her strong professional ethics, An Yutang would have jumped up and asked Jiang He if this Xiaoyao Sect was really the same Xiaoyao Sect that was famous a thousand years ago.
Having worked in the job market for so long, An Yutang knew that the Xiaoyao Sect and several other major sects were founded around the same time. In fact, the Xiaoyao Sect was founded the earliest and was the most famous sect at the time.
Yu Cui and Heng Yixing were people who could be called war gods in that era.
An Yutang's expression was complex; the founding time and founders of the sect matched up perfectly.
Add to that the various documents that load up, and the whole thing feels a bit like an absurd, once-in-a-century event.
An Yutang is still somewhat dazed.
"The Free and Unfettered Sect."
There wasn't much information about the Xiaoyao Sect online. After reading the recruitment poster on the wall, An Yutang wanted to curse them as dead fraudsters.
As it turned out, the Xiaoyao Sect, which she thought no longer existed, was still there.
She glanced at Jiang He again.
The female cultivator standing by the window had an unremarkable appearance; was she a disciple of the Free and Unfettered Sect?
An Yutang's gaze was not exactly aboveboard.
Jiang He was used to it. Unlike before, being looked at a few times now wouldn't kill her suddenly.
Jiang He also looked An Yutang up and down. Her current appearance was ordinary. According to the aesthetics of the cultivation world, she would not stand out among many cultivators.
Compared to cultivators of the same level, without careful observation, he would just be considered an ordinary passerby.
However, upon closer inspection, a strange detail can be discerned.
In the cultivation world, cultivators, through long-term practice and the blessing of spiritual energy, are almost never considered ugly. On the contrary, as their cultivation improves and their experience deepens, there are quite a few cultivators whose appearance can be stunning at first glance.
So if you throw Jiang He's appearance in there, after looking at it for a while, you'll feel that the visual impression is somewhat different.
After Dugu Junli learned that she was using a secret technique, Jiang He had Bei Mingzi prepare a suitable elixir, namely the Supreme Rejuvenating Pill.
As long as she takes the medicine regularly, Jiang He's appearance can easily blend into that of an ordinary person. If one were to examine the soul within her body, only a cultivator at the Great Ascension stage or above could see through it.
The Supreme Rejuvenation Pill allows Jiang He to start a new life in the cultivation world with a new identity.
An Yutang finally accepted the reality that the Xiaoyao Sect still existed. After reviewing all the re-application records, she discovered that the Xiaoyao Sect was still missing a sect site selection document to submit in order to complete the last recruitment qualification certificate.
Upon hearing An Yutang's words, Jiang He seemed to remember something and simply pulled out a stack of papers.
Jiang He searched for the business of the sect talent market on the StarNet, and accepted any business related to the sect.
The stack of papers she pulled out was the sect's assets that Bei Mingzi had given her five years ago.
Although it was called a land deed, Jiang He hadn't looked at it carefully.
Their sect was poor, so Jiang He didn't take the land deed seriously.
Now, standing at the window, I figured that since I'm already here, it would be a bit unreasonable not to have the land deed verified at the talent market.
Things that can be done without spending money.
She's the one who benefits.
An Yutang took the land deed, tacitly agreeing that this was the sect site selection Jiang He had mentioned.
She scanned the land deeds one by one.
At first, An Yutang thought she would just sit there in a daze, but once all the land deeds were scanned, she couldn't sit still any longer.
She swallowed hard, her gaze slightly unfocused.
"This land all belongs to the Free and Unfettered Sect?"
Jiang He continued to nod:
"So, is it all fake?"
Jiang He had never held out much hope.
She didn't believe the stack of land deeds was genuine.
After all, when Bei Mingzi was placed in her arms, it was like giving her a medicinal pill; there wasn't a single change in her expression.
Furthermore, once the land deed was in Jiang He's hands, it looked like a flattened clump of rotten vegetables.
It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that it's comparable to the test papers of her elementary school classmates.
Jiang He reached out to take the land deed back.
Seeing Jiang He's actions, An Yutang seemed to understand something.
These sheets of paper are not what they seem.
They are clearly just plots of land.
The entire mountain range south of Shengming District in Yangzhou, three small islands covering 200 square kilometers each, and the endless land beneath Xinggang...
These sheets of paper are practically indistinguishable from walking spirit stones.
An Yutang carefully handed the land deed back to Jiang He:
"Fellow Daoist, are you sure you want to designate this land deed as the sect's activity area?"
