This is a cultivation game, but its operation is terrible.

This observation lasted from day to night.

He only snapped out of his state of absolute concentration when the knocking sounded.

What are you doing?!

Jiang Liu shouted towards the door.

"You brat! You're not eating again! You didn't even touch the food I made this morning! What will you do if you ruin your stomach from hunger!"

"Get out here and eat right now!"

Jiang Ye's reprimanding voice came from outside the door.

Jiang Liu: "......"

I've already reached the Foundation Establishment stage, why would I need to eat?

Jiang Liu walked out of the room speechlessly, and while eating, he asked Grandpa Jiang, "Grandpa, what realm are you at now?"

"Still at the fourth level of Qi Refining."

Sitting on the sofa watching TV, Grandpa Jiang casually said, "I can't sit still, I really can't sit still. Let's just leave it at that and live as many years as we can."

Young people can't sit still for meditation, and neither can the elderly.

Some elderly people need to find work after retirement; letting them sit idly is worse than killing them.

"Will this work?!"

Seeing that Master Jiang was giving up, Jiang Liu said with a dark expression, "Didn't you want to see your great-grandson? How can you see your great-grandson if you don't cultivate properly!"

He's so awesome and amazing, yet he let his only relative die young. That's incredibly unfilial.

"You're just trying to fool me."

Jiang snorted and said, "I'll start cultivating when you bring your girlfriend back."

Jiang Liu: "......"

I don't have any close female friends, so where am I supposed to find a partner?

Oh no.

I have a Daoist partner, and I'm married!

He wanted to send Fu Qiluo's photo to his grandfather, but then he thought about Fu Qiluo's character design and decided against it.

Fu Qiluo's character design is in anime style. He pointed to an anime character design and said to his grandfather, "This is my wife." His grandfather could beat him to death.

What should we do if Master Jiang doesn't like cultivation?

Jiang Liu was somewhat troubled. He became famous throughout the region after breaking through to the Foundation Establishment stage. Although it is now a society governed by the rule of law, it is still impossible to stop some lawbreakers from taking risks.

What should he do if someone kidnaps his grandfather and threatens him?

He can't protect Grandpa 24/7; he can only be safe when Grandpa's own level of spiritual attainment is high.

Moreover... he was counting on his grandfather to become the mainstay of his sect!

Chapter 90 The Backbone of the Sect

Jiang Liu had decided to establish his own sect a long time ago.

In almost every game, collective factions are one of the most important aspects of gameplay, and their leaders receive numerous attribute and honor bonuses.

Any player with a bit of ambition will build their own faction in the game, rather than joining someone else's.

It's one thing to work for others in real life, but to have to work for others in a game?

When he used to play games, he always joined Li Dongze's faction. This time, he is determined to build his own immortal sect!

However, if he wants to establish his own sect, there is a very serious problem that needs to be solved first.

Staffing problem!

He has money and ability, the only thing he lacks is manpower.

Li Dongze is the esteemed young master of the Dize Group, so he's bound to join his own sect.

Su Weiyang is one of his top choices for helpers. She has a pure yang body and a top-grade fire spirit root. She is tempered by pure yang fire for 24 hours a day and is the strongest body-building tank. She is an extremely talented person. He is already considering talking to Su Weiyang about a contract.

Apart from Su Weiyang, there is no one else.

A sect cannot be supported by just two people; this is not a matter of money or strength.

No matter how rich you are, you can't sign in a second person per day if it's based on a per-person daily check-in system.

No matter how strong you are, you can't complete many sect missions in a day.

Without manpower, how can the sect's contribution points be increased, the sect's level be raised, and the sect's headquarters be built?

Although with his strength and popularity, he could easily fill all the vacant positions in the sect.

Who will manage and supervise the strangers we bring in?

What if there's a mole within the organization if there's no management or supervision?

He certainly doesn't have time to manage it himself; wasting too much time in the sect is putting the cart before the horse.

If you don't manage it yourself, then you can only entrust it to someone you trust.

Who is the person he trusts the most?

Grandpa and Grandma Zhao!

One was his only relative, and the other was his grandmother who watched him grow up.

Jiang Liu had already made up his mind: Grandpa Jiang and Grandma Zhao would be his deputy sect leaders, the backbone of his sect!

So... Mr. Jiang, you can't just give up!

For the sake of your grandson's sect, you must cultivate diligently!

Jiang Liu was speechless at Jiang Ye's lazy behavior. After finishing his meal, he rushed to Jiang Ye's side to fuss over him and listed a whole bunch of benefits of cultivating immortality for over an hour, which made Jiang Ye impatient.

"Stop dawdling!"

Grandpa Jiang glared at Jiang Liu and slapped him on the back, saying angrily, "I'm your grandfather, not your grandson!"

"I've been cultivating every day, it's not like I haven't been practicing. I've been sitting here for days and I still haven't gained as much experience as the pills you gave me!"

"I'll start cultivating again when you have the pills, stop dawdling!"

Jiang Liu: "......"

Jiang Liu blinked, paused for two seconds, then suddenly took a breath and nodded at Master Jiang.

He got it.

How could I have forgotten about the Qi Refining Pill?

With Qi Refining Pills, there's no need to force Master Jiang to cultivate. He can just take the pills and that's it. Wasn't he promoted by taking pills?

Get some Qi Refining Pills to help Master Jiang reach the eighth or ninth level of Qi Refining, and then equip him with a set of magical artifacts. With increased strength, his safety will also be guaranteed.

Let's get another set for Grandma Zhao. Raising one is the same as raising two, and it won't cost much spirit stone anyway.

Yes, that's exactly how it should be done!

We can't rely on the old man to cultivate all day long. If we want Grandpa Jiang and Grandma Zhao to become the backbone of the sect, we still need him to personally train them.

"Then... how about we get them both into the top ten of the leaderboard first?"

Jiang Liu muttered to himself as he returned to his room, feeling more and more that it seemed plausible, and becoming increasingly excited.

If I get Grandpa Jiang and Grandma Zhao into the top ten of the rankings, equip each of them with a set of magical artifacts, and then draw a set of top-grade spiritual roots in the five elements, who can use them to threaten me?

I'll beat you to death!

Jiang Liu switched back to the Immortal Cultivation Era and opened his backpack. Inside, he found only a little over 3000 Qi Refining Pills, not nearly enough to advance several levels of cultivation.

But it doesn't matter, my money power is online.

He sent a message directly into the chat box.

[Jiang Liu]: A low-grade magic weapon can be exchanged for 200 Qi Refining Pills, and a mid-grade magic weapon for 400 Qi Refining Pills. Some can be recorded and sent directly to the email. Please fill in the magic weapon type in the email. The top-ranked player on the leaderboard will be the one with the most trustworthy transactions.

This was his second time speaking in the chat box. The first time was to anonymously collect spirit herbs, and the second time was to exchange Qi Refining Pills using his real name.

As soon as he posted this message, the previously slow-moving chat box exploded with messages, making it impossible to see anything clearly.

Half a minute later, the email started flashing wildly.

Jiang Liu opened the email and looked at the dozen or so emails inside. He felt a little proud and touched.

His name is really useful now; just one sentence from him can get so many people to send him Qi Refining Pills.

Two hundred Qi Refining Pills are worth several hundred spirit stones. The fact that someone would send them to him without any guarantee is enough to show how high his reputation is in the city.

One hour, two hours, three hours.

Four hours later, when he finished cleaning up his emails, he had more than 1 Qi Refining Pills in his backpack!

"This much should be enough for Grandpa and Grandma Zhao to advance to the seventh or eighth level of Qi Refining, right?"

Jiang Liu thought for a moment and sent a message to Grandma Zhao in his friends list.

[Jiang Liu]: Grandma Zhao, are you there?

[Zhao Yanhong]: What's up, Xiao Liu? I've already mailed you today's sign-in spirit stones.

[Jiang Liu]: You don't need to mail me spirit stones anymore, I'm not short of them. I'll send you a trade, you can accept it.

He sent a transaction request to Grandma Zhao and put 5000 Qi Refining Pills on it.

next second.

The transaction has been cancelled.

[Zhao Yanhong]: What are you doing, you little rascal? Why are you giving me so many pills?

[Jiang Liu]: Eat up, Grandma Zhao, your level is too low. You need to elevate it first.

[Zhao Yanhong]: No, no, this stuff is so expensive, it's such a waste to give it to me, you eat it yourself.

Jiang Liu: "......"
