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

Upon hearing this, Lu Changfeng couldn't help but roll his eyes.

"Idiot, don't you have three apprentices? Just have them help you!"

Unexpectedly, Ma Changshou shook his head this time.

"No, no, they're so young. Their priority should be cultivation!"

"Children's cultivation time is so precious these days. Once they reach the Foundation Establishment stage, we can send them out to gain experience. Whenever they want to leave again, we can just have them help me!"

Lu Changfeng immediately burst into laughter.

"You're overthinking it. Constantly cultivating only increases their physical strength, while helping you with tasks helps develop their mental fortitude!"

"Besides, it's not like we're letting them handle it themselves. We can help you divide this huge pile of jade slips into three categories: important, average, and unimportant, right?"

"Important matters will be dealt with on the spot, minor ones can be glanced at, and unimportant ones can simply be ignored! Or let the apprentices discuss solutions among themselves."

"Wouldn't that make things easier for you?"

Upon hearing Lu Changfeng's suggestion, Ma Changshou's eyes lit up, but quickly dimmed again.

"Hmm, I'll think about it!"

A few days later, under the starlight tree in the Hundred Flowers Sea, Ma Changshou immediately came over.

"Brother Lu, make room for me too!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Changfeng remained lying on the deck chair, enjoying the shade, the fragrance of flowers, and the sound of the waves, without making a move, but he chuckled and spoke.

"Oh ho, you've come to your senses?"

Ma Changshou immediately set down his own recliner and lay down, also taking a bottle of chilled fruit wine from Lu Changfeng.

After taking a sip, he couldn't help but sigh.

"Damn it, I didn't want to entrust this kind of thing to those three!"

"It turned out that the three of them were even more excited than I expected. You were right, I definitely overthought things."

"Well, after I finished dealing with the most important things, I'll leave the rest to the three of them!"

"Hehehe, don't they like dealing with this kind of thing? Let them handle it for a month first!"

"Now I can finally get some rest. Dealing with sect affairs during the day and cultivating at night is exhausting!"

"It's been so long since I've lay here like this, ah, it's still so comfortable!"

He had just finished speaking when he actually fell asleep.

Hearing Ma Changshou snoring, Lu Changfeng couldn't help but smile and shake his head.

He immediately took a sip of chilled fruit wine and continued to enjoy the cool shade, the fragrance of flowers, and the sea breeze, only this time with Ma Changshou beside him.

While Lu Changfeng and Ma Changshou were lying dead, a brainstorming session was taking place in Ma Changshou's small palace.

"Senior Brother, what should we do about this? Apparently, two inner disciples who don't get along have gotten their spirit pets together, and now one of them is pregnant, but neither of them wants the baby!"

"What do you suggest we do about this?!"

Upon hearing this, the eldest disciple, Xin Mo, frowned. He thought for a long time but couldn't find an answer, so he could only scratch his head frantically.

"Third Brother, let's put this aside for now. Master said to do what we can do first!"

Upon hearing his senior brother's words, the third junior brother, Lu Xing, had no choice but to put it in the basket for his to-do list.

However, just as this matter was resolved, Ma Changshou's second apprentice, Ding Xiu, also raised his hand to ask a question.

"Senior Brother, well, they say an outer disciple was cultivating a low-grade first-tier spirit plant, the Hundred Spirit Grape, on their balcony. The vines climbed all the way to the third floor, but the fruit was destroyed by the outer disciple on the third floor who was out, and now the plant has completely withered!"

"The disciple on the first floor wants the disciple on the third floor to pay compensation, but the disciple on the third floor feels that the disciple on the first floor is blocking his way, so he refuses to pay!"

"What should we do about this!"

Seeing that this was yet another troublesome problem, Xin Mo had no choice but to speak again.

"Second Brother, let's put this aside for now and do what we can first!"

For the next while, the hall was filled with the voices of the three people.

"Senior brother, what should we do about this?"

"Put that aside and do what you can first!"

"Senior brother, what should we do about this?"

"Do what you can do first!"

"Senior brother!"

"Do what you can!"

They quickly finished dealing with everything that could be handled, and then the three of them began to deal with the more difficult parts.

Compared to the previous ones, these are really a headache to deal with.

To be honest, they couldn't understand why such a trivial matter had to be sent to their master.

They can handle this kind of thing themselves!

But I've already promised my master to handle these things, and it would be too embarrassing to just give up like this.

Fortunately, after a brainstorming session, the three of them finally solved these problems.

Although the process was mentally and physically demanding, they were still very happy.

However, when the three of them saw the jade slip hill of about the same height as the day before, they were dumbfounded.

Finally, it was Xin Mo, Ma Changshou's eldest apprentice, who spoke first.

"Let's all do it, since we took this on ourselves!"

The three of them then started doing it.

Seven days later, the three of them could no longer tolerate it.

"Senior Brother, we need to find a solution to these problems we're unsure about!"

"Otherwise, we'll be exhausted to death here!"

They saw clearly that most of the matters in these jade slips were easy to handle, and might even bring them considerable joy.

What actually gives them a headache are those things that are difficult to handle.

Once this part is resolved, everything will be completely relaxed.

Hearing his third junior brother's words, Xin Mo couldn't help but nod.

"But how should we handle this? We can't just let someone else do it!"

Originally, this was just a complaint, but it gave the other two an idea. Ding Xiu immediately suggested,

"Senior brother, that makes sense."

"Our grandmaster assigned this task to our master, who then assigned it to us. We can easily delegate these difficult tasks to the newly arrived outer disciples!"

"They've just arrived at the sect and are unaware of the conflicts between the various factions. They'll definitely be the most accurate judges of who's good and who's bad!"

After the second apprentice finished speaking, the third apprentice quickly added to the story.

"Senior Brother, I also think this is a good idea, but we still need to pretend it's true and not let them know it's actually true!"

"Why not just treat it as an introductory test? Wouldn't that be even better?"

At this moment, Xin Mo's eyes were full of interest, but because it was his senior brother, he hesitated and said...

"That's not a good idea!"

Seeing that his eldest brother seemed interested, Ma Changshou's second and third disciples quickly tried to dissuade him.

Ultimately, the matter was successfully approved.

Before long, the three of them arrived at the outer gate area with a processed jade slip.

"Junior brother, you're new to our Heavenly Star Sect, aren't you?"

Hearing that someone had suddenly arrived, the newly initiated disciple Xin was not too afraid. After all, over the years, ordinary people had long known that the atmosphere in the Tianxing Sect was very good, with basically no suppression or danger.

"Yes, senior brothers, is there anything I can help you with?"

The three of them burst into laughter upon hearing this.

"Hehehe, it's like this, I'm here for sect research, and I'm randomly selecting new disciples for paid research!"

"If you can answer all the questions above and hand them in first thing tomorrow morning, you'll get 10 spirit stones!"

"Will you do it or not!"

Upon hearing that ten spirit stones could be earned simply by answering a question, the new disciple's eyes lit up.

"I'll do it!"

Then he took the information jade slip and left in a hurry!

Seeing the new disciple's departing figure, the three of them immediately burst into laughter! They felt that everything was in the bag!
