The Leisurely Life of a Young Man in the World of Cultivation

The next morning, after the story appeared on the local news, everyone was in an uproar.

Even Lu Changfeng, who had just started working, was stopped and questioned by Li Mingfei.

"Brother Lu, is everything reported in the local news true?"

Seeing his curious expression, Lu Changfeng couldn't help but twitch his lips.

He used to groom Li Mingfei as a master at gathering information, so why is this guy asking him questions now?

But thinking about it, it's understandable. After all, he's working all day long, and after get off work he still has to deal with brothel matters.

Given this workload, it's quite normal that they wouldn't know about this.

"Yes, it's true. I ran into him on the street yesterday!"

He then briefly explained the process, and after listening to him, Li Mingfei suddenly understood.

"I see, but what both sides are saying does make sense!"

"But what if this situation escalates further? How will we handle it then?"

Lu Changfeng shrugged in response to Li Mingfei's analysis.

"have no idea,"

"It's certain that things will escalate further; the question is, how will the sect resolve this?"

"The sect should have a solution, so we outer disciples shouldn't worry too much!"

Hearing Lu Changfeng refer to himself as an outer disciple, Li Mingfei couldn't help but twitch his lips.

He's already in the mid-Foundation Establishment stage, and he's still considered an outer disciple?

But thinking about it, it's quite normal. After all, as long as he doesn't report to the inner sect, he's an outer sect disciple.

However, no sooner had Li Mingfei left than Feng Ninglu came looking for him.

"You lazy bum, what's the situation inside the Heavenly Star Sect right now? Are they really going to start a fight?!"

After a long period of recovery, Feng Ninglu returned to her previous state, so as soon as she entered, she plopped down opposite Lu Changfeng.

Then he grabbed Lu Changfeng's teacup and poured himself a cup, before staring straight at him.

Seeing this, Lu Changfeng couldn't help but sigh.

"Your movements are way too practiced!"

"never mind!"

"The situation is indeed very tense right now, but the sect should have a way to deal with it!"

"However, in my opinion, resolving this isn't difficult; the challenge lies in ensuring both sides feel it's fair!"

"The older disciples have ultimately served the sect longer and contributed more, while the newcomers, though contributing less, represent the future of the Heavenly Star Sect!"

Upon hearing this, Feng Ninglu also became interested.

"Oh ho, not hard to solve?"

"Tell me in detail!"

Seeing this, Lu Changfeng didn't hide anything and immediately shared his thoughts.

"It's simple. Since the problem is essentially unfair task allocation, we just need to come up with a way to allocate tasks fairly!"

"Secondly, it's better to guide than to block. Since they want to fight, let's set up a special place for them to fight. Whoever loses should shut up!"

"The world of cultivation is ultimately a place where strength speaks!"

The Heavenly Star Sect is less a sect and more an organization that is half sect and half state.

The traditional master-disciple system in sects is only reflected in the inner sect, and even now, only the most outstanding geniuses are accepted as disciples in the inner sect.

Moreover, even if these masters take on disciples now, they can't do much besides providing resources, since none of them have any extraordinary phenomena and their Golden Cores are just ordinary Golden Cores, so their abilities are quite limited.

So much so that even today, the truly top geniuses don't have any apprentices.

Listening to Lu Changfeng's analysis, Feng Ninglu nodded.

Although what Lu Changfeng said sounded like nonsense, it was indeed a solution to the problem.

However, unless the issue of task allocation is truly resolved, simply engaging in combat is merely treating the symptoms, not the root cause. Unless we wait a hundred or two hundred years, until most of the older disciples have died, this conflict will naturally disappear.

Suddenly, Feng Ninglu seemed to remember something, and then looked at Lu Changfeng with a curious expression.

"So, which side do you support, you slacker?"

Her tone was full of excitement, because this was a trap she had set; whether he supported the senior disciples or the new disciples, he would only be at a disadvantage.

But how could Lu Changfeng not see through her little scheme? So he decisively refused to choose her.

"Hehe, of course I'll listen to whoever has the spirit stones!"

Just kidding, as long as he gets spirit stones, he'll accept anything, whether he's a newbie or a veteran, even if it's supporting a pile of dog shit.

This answer seemed ordinary, but it perfectly aligned with Lu Changfeng's thinking.

So in the end, Feng Ninglu just opened her mouth but didn't say anything. She simply drank all his tea before leaving.

Upon learning of this, Lu Changfeng was so angry his mouth almost twisted into a crook.

Damn it, are you a water buffalo? You gulped it all down!

However, to his surprise, the sect quickly resolved the issue of task allocation.

The solution is simple: upgrade your sect identity jade slip. This jade slip already has a notification function; after the upgrade, you can directly accept quests through it.

Accepting tasks in this way is all about speed.

The matter should have ended there, but several senior disciples felt there were loopholes to exploit.

So they immediately colluded with the person who posted the task. Their method was simple: post a task on one side, and immediately snatch it on the other.

That way, no one can compete with them, and the good tasks will still be theirs.

"Are you ready?"

Deacon A looked at the three disciples in front of him with a serious expression.

The third disciple nodded, but his whole body trembled with nervousness.

"Ready!"

Seeing this, the deacon nodded.

"Very good, three, two, one, release!"

The next moment, a notification sound came from the jade slip that issued the task.

[A disciple has already accepted the mission!]

However, when he looked up, he saw that the three disciples were in distress.

"Butler, we haven't received any missions!"

Deacon A was immediately enraged.

"Useless! I've gone to such lengths to accommodate you all, and yet none of the three of you can get a single mission!"

"Alright, one task is still too few. Next up is a task for a hundred people: casting the Spirit Rain spell on the spirit fields. Don't miss this one, or don't blame me for being impolite!"

As the task was issued, a series of notification sounds appeared.

[A disciple has already accepted the mission!] [A disciple has already accepted the mission!]...

As the series of prompts ended, the three of them burst into tears.

"Damn it, what went wrong? Why can't we get a single mission from among so many?"

Little did they know, their little tricks were utterly insignificant in the face of sheer numbers.

After five years of development, the number of new disciples has reached nearly ten million. Especially with the recent major reform of the mission system, everyone is eager to see how to accept these missions.

So, with only three people competing against nearly ten million others for 100 tasks, there's no way they'd succeed!

This matter was quickly reported by the news jade slip, and the final result for the four of them was to go to a deserted island to mine.

However, on the other hand, something was brewing regarding the newly established inner disciples!
