420: miscellaneous disciples

At the entrance of the Li Family mansion, many Li Family members had already gathered. These people had come to see off Li Hanyan.

As the favored daughter of the Li Family, Li Hanyan's status within the family was almost comparable to that of the Li Family Old Ancestor.

Uncle Li, the head of the Li Family, personally came to the mansion entrance to send off his daughter.

Li Hanyan exchanged a few words with her relatives, then took Yang Lingchen and the woman in the green ruqun onto the Xuan Yi Beast.

The Xuan Yi Beast was enormous, with a wingspan of forty to fifty meters, and its flying speed far exceeded that of humans at the same Realm.

Li Hanyan sat in the middle of the Xuan Yi Beast with her maid Li Ling, while Yang Lingchen sat at the tail of the Xuan Yi Beast, closing his eyes to rest.

To Yang Lingchen's relief, he didn't need to worry about Cultivation Technique, because the Vast Heaven Art was a top-tier existence even in the Realm of the Gods.

However, Yang Lingchen's other Martial Skill Cultivation Techniques were somewhat lacking.

In the Half-step Ethereal Realm, his Martial Skills might still have some advantage, but once he reached the Void Spirit Realm, his Movement Technique and Martial Skills would no longer have any advantage.

This was also the reason Yang Lingchen wanted to go to Wentian Palace. As long as he went to such a top-tier Sect, he would have the opportunity to obtain those top-tier Cultivation Techniques and Pill Formulas.

The journey was peaceful. Yang Lingchen quietly Cultivated at the tail of the Xuan Yi Beast. Li Hanyan and Li Ling didn't bother with him.

After all, in Li Hanyan's eyes, he was just a utility worker taking care of the Xuan Yi Beast.

Half a month passed in a blink of an eye.

On this day, the Xuan Yi Beast entered a range of beautiful mountains, and its speed gradually slowed down.

Not long after, the Xuan Yi Beast stopped in front of a magnificent Mountain Gate.

"This will be the first stop of my rise. No matter where I am, I will be the best one."

Looking at the ancient and weathered Mountain Gate, a hint of yearning rose in Yang Lingchen's heart.

"Pa...!"

Just as Yang Lingchen was lost in thought, a jade hand slapped the back of his head.

"Are you blind? Didn't you see Young Miss already left? What are you still spacing out for?"

Li Ling glared coldly at Yang Lingchen, then walked towards the Wentian Palace Mountain Gate registration office.

"Damn it! I'm so handsome, how could you lay a hand on me?"

Yang Lingchen cursed under his breath, rubbed the back of his head, and then followed with the Xuan Yi Beast.

Under Li Hanyan's lead, Yang Lingchen arrived at the Wentian Palace Utility Disciple registration office.

After a simple assessment, he finally became a Utility Disciple of Wentian Palace.

Wentian Palace didn't have too many requirements for Utility Disciples; as long as their cultivation level reached the Half-step Void Spirit Realm and their age was within two hundred years, it was fine.

However, the tasks of Utility Disciples were very heavy. Besides taking care of the daily lives of Inner Sect Disciples, they also had to do a lot of work every day.

Under Li Hanyan's introduction, Yang Lingchen became a Utility Disciple of Xuanbing Peak, and his main job was to look after the Yao Beasts raised by the Xuanbing Peak Disciples.

"Yang Lingchen, you must take good care of Young Miss's Xuan Yi Beast. If anything goes wrong, don't blame me for being impolite."

Li Ling glared coldly at Yang Lingchen, then left Xuanbing Peak.

As for Li Hanyan, she hadn't looked at Yang Lingchen once from beginning to end.

After becoming a Utility Disciple, Yang Lingchen also received a small booklet containing the Wentian palace regulations.

He opened the booklet and read it carefully, quickly memorizing all the regulations.

"Stinky brat, what's your name?" A short young man with a bald head walked over.

"This Senior Brother, I am Yang Lingchen."

Yang Lingchen cupped his hands. Although the other party's tone was clearly unfriendly, as a newcomer, he didn't want to cause trouble.

"There are a few clothes over there, go wash them, then go to the beast garden in the back and feed all the Yao Beasts once." Bald Strong said coldly.

"Alright." Yang Lingchen nodded, then went to work.

In the evening, after finishing all his tasks, Yang Lingchen arrived at the Utility Disciple dormitory.

"Fuck, this is a dormitory?" Yang Lingchen was speechless. He didn't expect the Utility Disciple dormitory to have several people in one room.

Helplessly, Yang Lingchen could only accept this fact. After all, his cultivation level was too low now, and he simply wasn't qualified to become an Outer Sect Disciple.

"Brother, who are we Utility Disciples managed by?" Yang Lingchen looked at another Utility Disciple.

"Of course, we're managed by Xuanbing Peak!" The Utility Disciple said.

"What does that bald guy do? Why doesn't he have to work?" Yang Lingchen asked softly.

"You mean Bald Strong? Of course, he's also a Utility Disciple." The Utility Disciple said.

"He's also a Utility Disciple? Then why doesn't he have to work?" Yang Lingchen asked.

"His strength is very strong, we can't beat him, so he gets to throw his weight around here." The Utility Disciple said.

"Don't the higher-ups of Xuanbing Peak care?" Yang Lingchen said.

"We're just Utility Disciples. The Elders of Xuanbing Peak don't have time to manage us." The Utility Disciple said.

"So, whoever is stronger here is the boss?" A sharp glint flashed in Yang Lingchen's eyes.

"That's right, here, whoever has strength can be the head of the utility workers. As long as the tasks of the Labor Courtyard are completed, basically no one will bother us." The Utility Disciple said.

"That's good."

A faint smile played on Yang Lingchen's lips, and he then walked out of the dormitory.

"Hey! Where are you going?" The Utility Disciple asked.

"Of course, I'm going to deal with Bald Strong." A wicked smile appeared on Yang Lingchen's lips.

"Holy crap, is this kid crazy?"

"Yeah, Bald Strong is at the Peak of Half-step Ethereal Realm!"

"No, let's go take a look quickly."

The other two Utility Disciples in the dormitory quickly got up.

Yang Lingchen arrived in front of the only small bamboo building in the Labor Courtyard, then kicked open the door of the small bamboo building.

"Holy crap, who the hell doesn't want to live, daring to kick open my door?"

Bald Strong cursed angrily, storming out of the small bamboo building.

Yang Lingchen didn't bother with idle chatter, directly slapping Bald Strong across the face.

"Pa...!"

Bald Strong's entire face instantly swelled up from the slap, and he spun several times in place before stopping.

"Stinky brat, you're courting death."

The bald man, having recovered, was instantly enraged. He raised his hand and threw a heavy punch, charging at Yang Lingchen.

"How ignorant."

A cold glint flashed in Yang Lingchen's eyes. His right hand suddenly shot out, instantly grabbing Bald Strong's incoming fist. At the same time, his left hand suddenly swung, delivering another slap.

"Pa...!"

"Ah...ah...ah...!"

Bald Strong screamed, flying backward, his front teeth scattered on the ground.

"Bang...bang...bang...bang..."

Yang Lingchen wielded the heaven-reaching staff, mercilessly smashing Bald Strong.

"Ah...ah...ah...ah..."

Bald Strong let out a mournful wail, desperately using his hands to guard his vital spots.

A moment later, Yang Lingchen stopped, saying, "Do you submit?"

"I submit... I submit." Bald Strong quickly said. By this time, he had been beaten into a pig's head; how could he dare not submit?

"From now on, who is the boss of this Labor Courtyard?" Yang Lingchen twirled the heaven-reaching staff in his hand, asking arrogantly.

"You... you are the boss." Bald Strong quickly said.

"Very good. You'll still manage the affairs of the Labor Courtyard, but any benefits must be reported to me immediately." Yang Lingchen said coldly.

"Yes, Boss." Bald Strong bowed. In the face of absolute strength, he dared not resist in the slightest.

"I'm taking this small bamboo building. You find another place to live." Yang Lingchen said, then walked into the small bamboo building.
