Superpower Small Farmer

Chapter 2198 - 2157: Confidential Mission

Xue Tiancheng gasped after hearing this, and said seriously, "Little Qiang, how can you take such a big risk? What you're doing is pure suicide."

"Do you know? Outer Sect disciples must enter the Yin Corpse Mountain Range in groups of at least five, and with your previous cultivation base, you'd need a group of at least ten to venture in. Otherwise, it's just a death sentence," Xue Tiancheng added.

Wang Xiaoqiang naturally wouldn't divulge his secret, and Little Zhang, being clever, wouldn't reveal that Wang Xiaoqiang had tamed two Dead Spirit Puppets either.

At the moment, Wang Xiaoqiang responded perfunctorily, "Master, as the saying goes, fortune favors the brave. Seeking wealth requires risk-taking, let alone cultivation. Opportunities and dangers coexist, after all."

Xue Tiancheng said, "I understand this logic, but Little Qiang, with your talent and aptitude, it would be a real shame to lose your life in the Yin Corpse Mountains. Don't do such foolish things again in the future."

Wang Xiaoqiang took the opportunity to complain, "Master, actually, I didn't want to take risks, but Jiangg Qingdi harbors a grudge against me over Tu Dalong's death and won't let it go. He relentlessly pursues me. It was precisely because of his hunt that I left the Kaoshan Sect. To avoid being killed by him, I had to make a risky move to capture Yin Corpses in the mountains as cultivation resources, which allowed me to catch up in cultivation so quickly..."

Xue Tiancheng, after a moment's contemplation, said, "I heard about this. But Little Qiang, it's not that I won't stand up for you. It's just that the sect turns a blind eye to private fights and killings among disciples. You should have realized this during your entry assessment."

Wang Xiaoqiang nodded and said, "Yes, that's right. The sect seems to focus more on cultivating the disciples' mindset and resilience, encouraging competition and conflict among disciples as a form of training. I think the sect uses this as a form of natural selection to foster stronger disciples..."

"Indeed," Xue Tiancheng nodded, "Little Qiang, realizing this shows you have a sharp mind. So don't dwell on it. If you don't want to be eliminated by others, you'll have to get stronger and eliminate them instead..."

As he spoke, Xue Tiancheng's mouth curled into a cruel smirk.

Wang Xiaoqiang nodded and said, "So, even if I kill Jiangg Qingdi, the sect won't interfere, nor will they punish me."

Xue Tiancheng, with an air of naturalness, said, "That's right, just like when you killed Zhang Hu and Tu Dalong and their group," then, changing his tone to one of advice, said, "However, Little Qiang, making enemies everywhere isn't beneficial for you. In contrast, having more friends opens more paths, wouldn't you agree?"

Wang Xiaoqiang said, "Indeed, Master, what you say is true. With your words, I won't seek revenge on Jiangg Qingdi, but if he provokes me again, I won't show him any courtesy."

Xue Tiancheng said, "Hmm, that's good, Little Qiang, very magnanimous. Actually, Little Qiang, after Jiangg Qingdi chased you and returned, I did warn him not to trouble you anymore. I think he should restrain himself."

Wang Xiaoqiang nodded and pulled Little Zhang forward, saying, "Master, Little Zhang has advanced to the Three Spirits of Heavenly Beings. Now you can accept him into the Outer Sect, right?"

Xue Tiancheng turned his gaze to Little Zhang, nodding, "Of course, such an outstanding disciple should be embraced. With him, you, Wang Xiaoqiang, won't have to run around outside, and I'll be much at ease, haha..."

Little Zhang cheered with a smile upon hearing this and glanced at Wang Xiaoqiang with reliance and gratitude. Without Wang Xiaoqiang, it would've been a struggle for him to even achieve One Spirit of Heavenly Beings, let alone become an Outer Sect disciple with Three Spirits.

"Great, now our brotherhood can endure once more," Wang Xiaoqiang patted Little Zhang's shoulder. "Let's go, I'll take you to handle the Outer Sect admission procedures."

The two brothers were about to handle the procedures when Xue Tiancheng said, "Wait, I haven't explained my matter yet..."

Wang Xiaoqiang and the others stopped and turned back. Wang Xiaoqiang said, "Master, what's the matter? Please tell us."

Xue Tiancheng, hesitating and looking at Little Zhang with apprehension, said, "Little Qiang, this matter is a sect secret, handed down personally by the Sect Master. Apart from the disciples assigned to the task, no one else can know..."

Little Zhang, being astute, quickly said, "Brother Qiang, you and Master talk, I'll take a stroll to familiarize myself with the Outer Sect environment."

With those words, he walked away.

Xue Tiancheng watched Little Zhang's back, nodding, "Little Qiang, your Little Zhang brother is quite keen. You should guide him, and he may well become an Inner Sect disciple in the future..."

"Inner Sect disciple?" Wang Xiaoqiang couldn't help but smile bitterly, "I'm not even in the Inner Sect yet, and he might make it before me?"

Xue Tiancheng said, "Little Qiang, the distinction between Outer and Inner Sects is just a formality, really. It serves to motivate the disciples to advance. A talent like you wouldn't care about such distinctions..."

Wang Xiaoqiang, hearing this, said, "Hmm, Master, what you say is right. It's not that I don't care about these things. I really don't care, being Wang Xiaoqiang."

Xue Tiancheng gazed at Wang Xiaoqiang with appreciation, "Little Qiang, I know you have ambitions. It's not just an Inner Sect disciple position; your ambitions can't be contained by Kaoshan Sect. But Little Qiang, let me remind you: No matter how big your ambitions are, no matter how large your goals, you must advance step by step. Taking too big a leap could lead to a downfall, understand?"

"Master, there's no need to elaborate on this," Wang Xiaoqiang laughed, moving closer to Xue Tiancheng and asking quietly, "What task do you have for me, just go ahead and instruct."

Xue Tiancheng lowered his voice, checked around with his eyes, and upon seeing no one, said cautiously, "Seven days later, come to me without telling anyone. It's a secret."

Wang Xiaoqiang was about to speak when Xue Tiancheng made a gesture to silence him, saying, "Don't ask what's the matter. You'll know when the time comes."

Seeing it was a secret, Wang Xiaoqiang didn't ask further, nodded, and thought to himself how this felt like some spy game.

Xue Tiancheng further instructed, "In the coming days, solidify your spell techniques well and don't go out anymore."

Wang Xiaoqiang nodded, bidding farewell to Xue Tiancheng.

Then, Wang Xiaoqiang found Little Zhang and took him to complete the admission procedures,

Re-entering the Miscellaneous Affairs Department, where the administrator already heard of Wang Xiaoqiang by word of mouth, knowing he was the disciple who previously used a damaged tower to contain Ghost Souls. Naturally, upon seeing him again, they were quite courteous, greeting him with a bow and a smile, "Junior Brother Wang, fancy seeing you again so soon."

Seeing the administrator directly address him as "Junior Brother" and be so courteous, Wang Xiaoqiang was a bit taken aback, while Little Zhang's gaze towards Wang Xiaoqiang changed, showing admiration. He thought, Brother Qiang truly is Brother Qiang. Having just entered the Outer Sect for a few days, he's made such a name for himself that even first-level administrators are so respectful to him.
