The Cultivation Method of Junior Sister is Unscientific

Zhao Wuji’s gaze turned murderous as he looked at Ye Cheng.

How dare this Ye Cheng admit defeat so readily?

If he hadn’t conceded, Zhao Wuji could have shamelessly stalled and devised another plan.

But with Ye Cheng, a participant in the competition, directly admitting defeat, the Heavenly Dao didn’t hesitate for a moment before judging that the contract conditions had been met!

How could he possibly wriggle out of this now?

“Sect Leader, I appreciate your generosity,” Yun Jin said formally, cupping her hands.

Zhao Wuji’s face could no longer maintain even a facade of calm. He gritted his teeth, unable to utter a word for a long time.

In fact, the entire area had fallen into silence.

Everyone felt somewhat dazed.

So…

Had Yun Jin created another miracle?

She had actually… won?!

According to the contract, wouldn’t the spirit fields of each peak now be returned to their respective peaks?

If this truly came to pass, the disciples of other peaks, even those in the outer sect, would see their lives improve significantly. After all, the outer sect originally had its own spirit fields; they had simply been handed over to the Sect Leader’s faction for management.

The peak masters’ expressions flickered with various emotions.

They had long wanted to reclaim the spirit fields.

However, whenever new disciples appeared, the Sect Leader’s faction always got first pick. Anyone with talent in planting techniques would be snatched up by the Sect Leader. Combined with having the only fifth-rank cultivator, Ma Hongyu, the Sect Leader’s faction had monopolized the entire sect’s spirit plant cultivation.

Even if they wanted to cultivate independently, they lacked the ability to do so. Thus, year after year, they could only submit to the Sect Leader’s faction’s control.

But now.

A problem that even they, as peak masters, couldn’t solve had been forcefully resolved by a newly admitted disciple in such a brutal manner!

The winds of change were truly blowing through Tianxing Sect.

“Sect Leader, now that the contract has been fulfilled, when will the spirit fields be returned to each peak’s management?” Lin Ya asked with a smile.

Zhao Wuji’s face darkened.

He very much didn’t want to answer this question, but avoiding it served no purpose.

Zhao Wuji spoke expressionlessly, “Since there was a prior contract, even I must naturally abide by it. The spirit fields originally belonged to each peak. If you want to reclaim them for your own cultivation, then by all means, do so.”

Lin Ya narrowed his eyes. “The contract also stipulates that until each peak has its own cultivator, the Sect Leader must provide cultivators to assist. Each peak will pay the normal rate for their services.”

Zhao Wuji calmly replied, “Of course. Hongyu, those two newly admitted disciples are quite good. Assign them to assist the various peaks.”

Lin Ya raised an eyebrow.

Newly admitted disciples?

How much could they possibly know about cultivation techniques!

This Zhao Wuji was clearly trying to cheat.

Yet his method of cheating cleverly sidestepped the contract’s content, leaving one feeling disgusted but unable to argue.

At this point, a faint smile appeared on Zhao Wuji’s face. “I’ll lend you these new disciples. But since they’ve just been admitted, if the spirit fields’ yields decrease in the future and revenues drop, you won’t hold it against them too much, will you?”

His words concealed a thick veil of threat.

Contract or not, as long as the peak masters behaved themselves, there were many ways to circumvent it through mutual cooperation.

He might no longer openly collect profits, but behind the scenes? No one could interfere!

The peak masters all caught Zhao Wuji’s implied meaning.

Long Yi was the first to speak up: “The Sect Leader’s previous arrangements were all for the good of the entire sect! Is this Yun Jin trying to destroy Tianxing Sect with her unreasonable demands?! I, Long Yi, will state my position first. Even if forced by the contract to reclaim my Domineering Body Peak’s spirit fields, I will still, as before, hand over most of the profits to the Sect Leader once I receive them. This is the treatment the Sect Leader deserves after years of hard work.”

Zhao Wuji immediately felt a wave of satisfaction. He said slowly, “Long Yi, don’t say such foolish things. Everything I’ve done has been for the good of the entire sect. How could I covet such meager profits?”

Long Yi immediately responded righteously, “The Sect Leader naturally doesn’t mean that. But we can’t just enjoy the Sect Leader’s protection without giving anything in return. So, all of this is entirely voluntary on our part!”

Long Yi even directly called out, “Huo Lie, what’s your take on this matter?”

Huo Lie fell silent.

For an alchemist, spirit plants were incredibly important.

He had finally gotten the chance to cultivate his own…

Zhao Wuji also cast a casual glance in his direction.

Huo Lie’s heart skipped a beat, but he finally said, “Peak Master Long makes a good point. I also volunteer to do the same.”

“What about the rest of you? What do you say?” Long Yi said directly. “Fang Mingyue, why don’t you start by stating your position?”

Fang Mingyue sat in her seat, her face as calm as still water.

She was thinking about many things.

She thought about how Tianxing Sect had become a cesspool since Zhao Wuji became the Sect Leader.

She thought about how they were peak masters in name only, mere puppets of Zhao Wuji.

She had believed that things would only change after Zhao Wuji left.

But now.

A newly admitted disciple had forcefully pried open a crack in this iron plate.

If a new disciple could so fearlessly challenge authority…

What about her?

Was she really going to remain cowardly forever?

Just as Long Yi thought Fang Mingyue might not answer, she chuckled softly, “My Bright Moon Peak has been running at a loss for many years. Now that the spirit fields are returning to Bright Moon Peak’s ownership, perhaps I’ll try my hand at management. Maybe I can improve Bright Moon Peak’s situation.”

Fang Mingyue’s meaning was clear: she truly intended to seize this opportunity to control the spirit fields.

Zhao Wuji’s expression darkened slightly, and he inwardly cursed his bad luck.

If no one had spoken up, he could have kept them all suppressed.

But once one person took a stand, the restless thoughts of these people could no longer be contained.

Sure enough.

Next, Yang Hui of the Spirit Tool Peak, Chen Wenxi of the Falling Sunset Peak, Mo Tianxin of the Thousand Talisman Peak, and two other peak masters, along with Lin Ya—six peak masters in total—all declared their intention to fully reclaim their spirit fields.

Huo Lie and Long Yi had clearly stated they would continue to follow him.

The remaining two were ambiguous, their true intentions unclear.

Zhao Wuji felt a sharp pain in his heart.

The Tianxing Sect he had painstakingly managed for so many years, as impregnable as an iron fortress, was finally slipping from his control.

Yun Jin watched the various peak masters state their positions and couldn’t help but smile.

To change Tianxing Sect, only its own people could do it.

She could only ignite a tiny spark.

If they themselves didn’t want change, then no matter how much she did, it would be futile.

But now, with Fang Mingyue and other peak masters speaking out, the desire for change had truly become a powerful force.

In the future, the Celestial Sword Peak would no longer stand alone. These peak masters who had reclaimed their spirit fields had thoroughly offended Zhao Wuji, and they would naturally gravitate towards the Celestial Sword Peak.

This game of chess that was Tianxing Sect…

It had finally come alive as everyone began to resist.
