Capítulo 2: I Can Get More for Free
Editor: Henyee Translations
Black Heaven Sect, Tongtian Peak.
It was the main peak of the sect.
More importantly, all the decisions regarding the affairs of the sect would be made here.
"Not bad, not bad. Your aura is stable and you've reached the Exceptional Gold Core Realm. It seems that you've gained a lot in the Dao Alliance over the past two years."
At the front of the main hall was an old man in a loose robe. His face was red, looking hale and hearty. He stroked his beard with a friendly smile. He was the sect master of the Black Heaven Sect and Gu Yiping's master, Shen Yun.
Gu Yiping cupped her hands and said humbly,
"It's all thanks to the sect's nurturing and recommendation that I have the chance to enter the Dao Alliance and have my current achievements. It's all thanks to the sect that I'm where I am today."
The Dao Alliance was an organization jointly established by the various orthodox sects and a few cultivation families in the Heaven Luo Realm. Its purpose was to protect the order of the Heaven Luo Realm and regularly monitor the actions of the large sects in the various continents of the Heaven Luo Realm. Its role was similar to the United Nations in Jiang Hong's previous world. The organization had a great deal of influence in the orthodox world.
Every sect would rack their brains every year to send their outstanding disciples in.
Two years ago, Gu Yiping was recommended by the sect to enter the Dao Alliance because of her outstanding results. Luckily, she was able to join the Dao Alliance and became a member of the Dao Monitoring Temple.
She lived up to everyone's expectations. After two years of hard work, she became the youngest supervisor in the history of the Dao Alliance.
She was a role model for everyone in the sect.
"Child, you don't have to be humble. These achievements are what you deserve. The sect is just doing what needs to be done." Shen Yun stroked his beard and smiled.
After a pause, he continued, "I read the letter from the Dao Alliance saying that you're back with a mission. If you need help from the sect, just let me know. As long as it's something the sect can do, we'll do our best to help you. The sect will always be your strongest support."
"Thank you, Master," Gu Yiping replied. "There's no hurry. I came back this time mainly to share the burden of the sect. If I remember correctly, the sect trial should be starting soon. I want to volunteer to be the supervisor."
The sect trial was mainly used to test the cultivation of the sect disciples during this period of time. It was considered an extremely important part in the road of cultivation for these disciples.
Normally, the content of the trial was to complete the missions received from the common folk, and it was the same this time.
"It's good that you have this intention. With you supervising, I can rest assured." Shen Yun stroked his beard, indicating that there was no problem. "The trial will begin in three days. The content of the trial is recorded in the Heaven's Pivot Pavilion. You should prepare well these few days."
"Thank you, Master."
Gu Yiping thanked Shen Yun and left the main hall. With a finger gesture, she rode her sword and took off. The wind whistled in her ears. She did not go to the Heaven's Pivot Pavilion but flew straight to her personal cave abode.
As a reincarnated person, Gu Yiping naturally knew the content of the trial.
Three days later, 24 disciples would head to a mountain and get rid of the rogue cultivator bandits who occupied the mountain and bullied the commoners.
From what she remembered, the disciples who went to the trial would accidentally encounter an ambush by the demons there, which caused a large number of young disciples to die.
It could be said to be the most despairing event in the history of the Black Heaven Sect.
More than once, Gu Yiping blamed herself for not going with them. It was also at that time that she was taken advantage of by that hypocritical man, Jiang Hong.
She was immersed in the hypocritical gentleness and treated him as her only support in the future…
However, all of this was just an illusion.
He had an innocent face, but in fact, he had secretly communicated with the demons and approached her for the sake of obtaining top-secret information related to the Dao Alliance. He even set her up to be labeled as a traitor and be despised by the entire orthodox world…
Of course, it was the same for this Trial of Despair.
The culprit behind all of this was actually that man, Jiang Hong.
It was because he leaked the information that the disciples were ambushed by the demons…
Gu Yiping retracted her thoughts as she welcomed the wind and snow. She exhaled slowly.
Although she did not know why she had reincarnated, since the heavens had given her a chance to restart all over again, she must stop all of this.
It would be too easy for her to kill Jiang Hong.
She wanted Jiang Hong's plan to fail. She wanted him to be abandoned by both the sect and the demon race at the same time. She wanted him to be alone with no one to rely on and be despised by everyone in the world.
He had to let him experience all the pain she had suffered.
She would never let him die so easily.
This was also the first step of Gu Yiping's revenge plan.
For the next few days, she would hide in the dark and monitor Jiang Hong's every move 24 hours a day. She would find evidence of his collusion with demons and catch him off guard.
Apart from that, there was another very important matter. However, this matter could only be completed after seeing demons behind this matter.
"I'm afraid that Jiang Hong would never have thought that his evil deeds had already been exposed. There's nowhere to hide."
At the thought of this, Gu Yiping could not help but smile.
Her beautiful eyes flashed with ruthlessness. She clenched her fists tightly and increased the speed of her sword.
Soon, she flew back to her personal cave abode.
"Huh?! Someone's here."
Gu Yiping put away her sword and landed on the ground. She then saw several people walking towards her.
When she saw them, she remembered they were from the Yunyue Peak…
...
Misty Peak.
In front of the Jade Spring Cave.
Cherry blossoms bloomed all over the mountain. At the intersection of the three waterfalls, there was a hazy mist, and the immortal aura was blurry.
Jiang Hong stood in front of the door under the waterfalls.
"Looks like Master's seclusion isn't over yet."
The door was tightly shut, and it didn't look like it was going to open soon.
Jiang Hong's master had already been in seclusion for a year. According to the original plan, his master should have ended his seclusion a week ago, but even now, his master had no intention of coming out.
He must have gained new insights in his cultivation.
Jiang Hong returned to his small wooden house in the Misty Peak.
After changing into farming clothes, he carried a hoe and went to the back of the wooden house.
The fragrant grass was luxuriant, and the seedlings were thriving. Looking at the two acres of bright yellow rapeseed flowers in front of him, the corners of Jiang Hong's mouth curled up. Today was also a day of hard work in farming.
Ever since he activated his Goldfinger, the Attribute Echancer, three years ago, Jiang Hong had tried to do all kinds of things to obtain attribute points.
After his continuous attempts, he realized that farming and cooking were the easiest ways to obtain attribute points compared to other tasks.
This was also the reason why his physique and comprehension were much more enhanced than his other attributes.
Farming really trained one's physique.
[You have reclaimed the land.]
[Constitution+0.01]
After hoeing the land for about an hour, he finally heard the notification that he had received attribute points.
It was still 0.01 points. From the looks of it, it was not that the system suddenly had a conscience. He was now sure that he would be able to obtain more attribute points by staying beside his eldest senior sister, Gu Yiping.
However, why did it have to be by the Eldest Senior Sister's side?
Was there something special about the Eldest Senior Sister?
Or could it be because she had great providence and was the daughter of luck?
Although there were still many things that he did not understand, since he had discovered this opportunity, he could not let it go. In the future, he had to find his senior sister to solve his doubts.
His senior sister had probably finished reporting to the sect master by now. He had to find a reason to freeload by her side.
But what reason should he find?
"Hi, Brother Jiang."
Just when Jiang Hong was trying to think of a reason while hoeing, he heard a hearty voice from afar.
He looked in the direction of the voice.
With thick eyebrows and big eyes, an honest-looking man waved his hand and jogged over. He was a disciple of Yunyue Peak, Wang Han, a peak Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator whose cultivation was two levels higher than his. He could be considered one of the few fellow disciples he could talk to in the sect.
"Brother Wang, why are you here? What's the matter?" Jiang Hong asked.
"Can't I visit my good friend if I have nothing to do? Our friendship is stronger than gold. Even if I have nothing to do, I have to take a look around when I have time." Wang Han's smile was friendly and polite. He looked around excitedly. "Where's Senior Sister Gu? Didn't you say that you were going to welcome Senior Sister Gu?"
Alright, stop pretending. Did you even pretend for two seconds?
Jiang Hong answered truthfully.
"We met at the foot of the mountain and she asked me to come back first."
"No way. You can't even grasp such an important opportunity. Where did your master's teachings go? You really disappoint me." Wang Han shook his head in disappointment
Jiang Hong thought to myself, 'You didn't teach me anything, and you're not my master…' Jiang Hong couldn't be bothered with him and said, "If you have something to say, say it quickly. If there's nothing else, I have to hoe the land."
"What's the point of doing this? Let's go. I'll bring you to a good place. It's much more interesting than hoeing." Wang Han hooked his arm around his shoulder.
Jiang Hong raised his eyebrows and asked, "Where?"
"Of course, I'm going to meet the Eldest Senior Sister," Wang Han said. "My master said long ago that when the Eldest Senior Sister returns, she will come and impart her teachings to us, and there's no time like the present, so let's go find her today."
"Do you think the other party will give you face?"
"Of course. My master and the sect master are biological brothers. The Eldest Senior Sister is also part of our lineage. She definitely has to give us some face."
He had connections.
He was different from others.
"Are you really that confident that she will give us face?
Jiang Hong frowned. He felt that his friend wasn't very reliable.
Wang Han patted his chest confidently.
"Absolutely."
...
"Senior Sister Gu, it's been a long time. I'm Shen Xingjian, the son of an elder of Yunyue Peak. When I heard that Senior Sister Gu has returned, I brought my fellow disciples here to seek guidance. Please guide us, Eldest Senior Sister."
"I'm inexperienced. You should find someone else."
Gu Yiping left without hesitation.
Jiang Hong: …
Wang Han: …
'Face?'
Where?!
The two of them had just arrived at Gu Yiping's cave abode.
They saw a person who was even more influential than Wang Han get rejected directly.
After pondering for a moment, Jiang Hong looked at the man with thick eyebrows and big eyes beside him. "Aren't you going to ask for guidance? Hurry up and go up."
Wang Han was stunned for a moment. Then, he placed his hands behind his back and raised his head at a 45-degree angle to look at the clear white sky.
"The pinnacle of the Immortal Realm reigns supreme in the world. With me, Wang Han, there will be Heaven! Who will be the peak at the end of the Immortal Path in the end? In the future, heaven will kneel when it sees me!
"In the end, I still have to rely on myself to cultivate. Little Jiang, let's wash up and sleep. We still have to hoe the land tomorrow."
