46: Chapter 46 Cultivation Technique Stone Tablet

Listening to everyone's discussion, Qin Changsheng also revealed a slight smile.

This was because the spirit cleansing grass and the Golden Condensation Grass had both been taken by Qin Changsheng.

However, it was simply impossible for Qin Changsheng to tell them that.

“By the way, have you heard about the theft of three hundred and fifty thousand jin of spirit rice from the Sect's Servant Peak?” Li Hu suddenly asked.

“What? The Sect's spirit rice was actually stolen?”

“Who has such great ability?”

“To actually steal over three hundred thousand jin of spirit rice all at once?”

Many of the fellow townsmen became curious.

“It was Manager Liu Cheng, the Outer Sect Peak Deacon responsible for overseeing the spirit rice. He colluded with the Heavenly Fire Sect and was killed on the spot by the Disciplinary Squad! Also, Law Enforcement Elder Lin Zhentian's son, Lin Hao, was punished for poor supervision; he had an arm severed and has been confined in the isolation chamber for three years!” Li Hu said.

Everyone also began to discuss the matter of the stolen spirit rice.

They were all very curious about how Manager Liu Cheng had ended up becoming a mole for the Heavenly Fire Sect.

And what kind of Storage Pouch the Heavenly Fire Sect had used to steal over three hundred thousand jin of spirit rice all at once.

Listening to the discussion, Qin Changsheng, who was far away in the Chore Residence, also revealed a smile.

He hadn't expected that Zhang Han, Li Hu, and the others would all start talking about him.

They even began to guess how the three hundred thousand jin of spirit rice had been taken away.

At the same time, Qin Changsheng gave Hu Nan an instruction, telling him to find out if there were any major events happening in the Sect this year.

After receiving the instruction, Hu Nan stood up and asked, “Everyone, are there any major events in the Sect this year?”

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's interest was instantly piqued, and they all began to chatter away.

One by one, they spoke about the major events of the year.

Some mentioned the Outer Sect assessment.

If they passed the Outer Sect assessment, their stipends would increase significantly.

Others mentioned that the rewards for this year's Outer Sect missions had also increased.

Especially the missions for collecting Spiritual Plants and hunting low-level Yao Beasts; it was said they could be exchanged for many Body Tempering Pills and Spirit Sand, which could just solve the urgent problem of our shortage of Cultivation resources.

Everyone chimed in, each person adding what they knew about the Sect's major events.

Someone mentioned that this year the Sect would invite high-level Elders to give Cultivation lectures, which low-level Disciples could also audit, taking the opportunity to ask about Cultivation difficulties;

Hu Nan listened quietly, nodding occasionally and secretly taking note of this information.

“What you're talking about is nothing; I've actually heard about a major event!”

Just as everyone's discussion was in full swing, Zhang Han suddenly spoke up.

“What is it? Tell us quickly!” Li Hu followed up immediately, his eyes full of curiosity.

Zhang Han shook his head and slowly spoke, “The manager of Servant Peak has been changed to Manager Ma Yingjie this year!”

“Who is Manager Ma Yingjie?”

“What does him becoming the manager have to do with us?”

Everyone looked at Zhang Han with some confusion.

“That Manager Ma Yingjie is actually the Disciple of Elder Qingxuan!” Zhang Han said.

Just as everyone was about to continue questioning him, Lin Yao interrupted the discussion: “Alright, alright, stop arguing. Those are all matters concerning Utility Disciples; they have nothing to do with us Outer Sect Disciples.”

Li Hu scratched his head and said with a smile, “Lin Yao, you're wrong about that. Even if it's about Utility Disciples, we're still fellow townsmen, so what's wrong with listening? Besides, isn't Qin Changsheng a Utility Disciple?”

“Li Hu, Qin Changsheng is still only at the first level of Qi Refining even now!”

“I expect it won't be long before he's dismissed by the Sect!” Zhang Han seemed to look down on Qin Changsheng very much.

“Forget it, forget it, stop talking about Servant Peak!”

“Let Lin Yao tell us if there are any other major events!”

“Right, right, Lin Yao, tell us quickly!”

Everyone turned their gaze toward Lin Yao.

Seeing everyone's eager expressions, Lin Yao finally spoke slowly: “I also heard it from an Inner Sect Senior Sister yesterday. The Sect Head has already decided that in February of this year, all Outer Sect Disciples will go to visit the Sect's technique stele to comprehend Cultivation Techniques!”

“What?! Visit the Sect's technique stele?!”

“The Sect Head is actually opening the Sect's technique stele?”

“We also have the chance to comprehend Cultivation Techniques and Divine Abilities?”

“Lin Yao, you... you're not lying to us, are you? That is the Sect's technique stele!”

Many Outer Sect Disciples instantly became excited.

This Sect's technique stele was a supreme treasure of the Heavenly Sword Sect.

Inside the stele were countless Cultivation Techniques, Spells, and even lost secret arts and Divine Abilities.

One had to know that in the past, only Elders, Core Disciples, and Inner Sect Disciples who had performed great services were allowed to visit this technique stele.

But now, this technique stele was actually being opened to all of them, the Outer Sect Disciples.

If they could comprehend a Cultivation Technique from the technique stele, their strength would be significantly increased.

Lin Yao nodded with a smile and said with certainty, “How could I lie to you? That was an order personally given by the Sect Head; how could it be false?”

“Why is the Sect Head letting us visit the Sect's Cultivation Techniques?” Li Hu asked curiously.

Lin Yao sighed, her tone growing a bit heavier: “Why else? It's all because of the Yao Beasts.”

“I heard that last month, the defensive position against the Yao Beasts was breached, and many Disciples were killed or injured.”

Hearing this, the wild joy on everyone's faces faded slightly, replaced by a touch of solemnity.

Although they resided within the Sect, they occasionally heard news of Yao Beast disturbances; they just hadn't expected the situation to be so serious.

Those Yao Beasts were actually able to break through a gap.

Hearing Lin Yao's words, Qin Changsheng instantly remembered the defense map he had discovered in the Scripture Pavilion half a month ago.

That map contained a detailed record of the Sect's front-line defenses.

Could it be that the loss of this map gave the Yao Beasts an opportunity to exploit?

“The Sect Head had no choice but to make this decision,” Lin Yao continued. “The war situation at the front is critical, and the Sect urgently needs a large number of powerful Disciples to reinforce the troops.”

“The Cultivation Techniques and Divine Abilities within the technique stele can quickly enhance our strength. The Sect Head is letting us visit in the hope that we can gain insights from it, increase our cultivation, and serve the Sect in the future by resisting the invasion of Yao Beasts.”

After listening to Lin Yao's words, the doubts in everyone's hearts were completely resolved, replaced by even more intense excitement and anticipation.

“Great! I finally have the chance to see the technique stele!”

“If I can comprehend a powerful Cultivation Technique from the stele, I'll be able to break through quickly and will never have to worry about slow Cultivation again!”

“Even if I can't comprehend a secret art or Divine Ability, learning a powerful Spell would be enough!”

The hall once again returned to its noisy state as everyone discussed excitedly, their faces full of expectation and their words filled with longing for the visit to the technique stele in February.

Although they all knew that obtaining Divine Abilities and Cultivation Techniques from the technique stele was extremely difficult.

Even those Inner Sect Prodigies with outstanding Comprehension Ability found it very hard to obtain Cultivation Techniques from the technique stele.

But they all believed they were the most special ones.

They believed they would definitely have the chance to obtain a powerful Cultivation Technique from the technique stele.

Listening to everyone's discussion, Qin Changsheng, who was far away in the Chore Residence, was also somewhat excited.

Although Qin Changsheng's Comprehension Ability was not very good.

He possessed an attribute panel.

As long as Qin Changsheng could see the technique stele, he would definitely be able to obtain some Cultivation Techniques or secret methods.

Half an hour later, this fellow townsmen gathering came to an end.

Lin Yao, Zhang Han, Zhao Hu, and the others all left one after another.

Qin Changsheng also told Hu Nan to investigate the matter of the Sect's technique stele.
