233: Wuji Ancestor was stunned

"What? Don't you like Immortal Crystals?"

Looking at Ancestor Wuji's exaggerated expression, Jiang Chen asked with a smile.

"No, no, this junior likes Immortal Crystals, this junior likes them."

"This junior just lost his composure, I ask Upper Sect Master to punish me."

Ancestor Wuji snapped back to reality and immediately knelt on the ground, kowtowing and begging for forgiveness.

No Peak Great Emperor disliked Immortal Crystals, but the Qingtian Sect using Immortal Crystals as stipends truly startled him.

He had never heard of any power using Immortal Crystals as stipends.

If the powerful experts from other continents knew that the Qingtian Sect used Immortal Crystals as stipends, they would probably break down the Qingtian Sect's threshold.

"Since you like them, go find This Sect's Grand Elder. He can arrange everything I just discussed with you." Jiang Chen waved his hand at Ancestor Wuji, indicating that he could leave.

"Yes, Upper Sect Master, this junior takes his leave!!"

Ancestor Wuji kowtowed once more, then stood up and slowly retreated from the Main Hall.

Outside the Qingtian Sect Main Hall.

Li Big Saber saw Ancestor Wuji emerge, immediately signaled him to follow, and said as they walked, "No Dust, are you willing to serve in This Sect?"

He had been waiting outside the Hall just now and heard everything, so he needed to confirm Ancestor Wuji's intentions.

"Willing, willing, this junior is willing to serve in the Upper Sect." Ancestor Wuji nodded like a chick pecking rice.

To receive Immortal Crystals, let alone serving in the Qingtian Sect, he would even be willing to be a servant in the Qingtian Sect. How could he possibly be unwilling?

"Good, since you are willing, This Elder will find a position for you."

"If you don't bring fifty people into the Sect to be Trainee Servants, then you can take office now. If you need to bring people, then hurry back, bring them over, and then take office."

Li Big Saber introduced the duties and benefits of the advanced study personnel to Ancestor Wuji, letting him decide for himself.

"Hiss, they actually have the Time Pagoda, such a Heaven-Defying Cultivation Divine Artifact. No wonder the Upper Sect is so terrifying." After hearing Li Big Saber's introduction of the benefits for the advanced study personnel, Ancestor Wuji was once again dumbfounded.

He had already lost count of how many times he had been shocked since entering the Sect.

Everything about the Qingtian Sect was simply too unbelievable; they even possessed Heaven-Defying treasures like the Time Pagoda. It was truly incredible.

"Go on, come find me after you've handled the matter." Seeing Ancestor Wuji with that expression again, Li Big Saber shook his head and walked past him.

"Fare... farewell, Grand Elder. This junior will return immediately."

Ancestor Wuji cupped his fists toward Li Big Saber's retreating figure, then sliced open a Spatial Rift and vanished from the Qingtian Sect.

Since the Qingtian Sect had such a Heaven-Defying Cultivation environment, if he didn't select fifty people to come over, his brain must be squashed by a door.

Now he finally understood why Li Big Saber said those things when they left the illusion—it turned out everything in the illusion could truly be realized.

Wuji Holy Land, Central Province.

As soon as Ancestor Wuji returned, he immediately summoned Holy Master Wuji.

"Old Ancestor, you're back. How did the negotiations with the Qingtian Sect go?" Holy Master Wuji asked immediately upon arriving and performing a salute.

"Shut up! Who told you to call the Upper Sect by its name directly? From now on, you must address it as the Upper Sect, understand?" Hearing Holy Master Wuji call the Qingtian Sect by its name directly, Ancestor Wuji immediately scolded him.

The Qingtian Sect now held the foremost position in his heart. If anyone from these Holy Lands dared to disrespect the Qingtian Sect, he certainly wouldn't be polite.

"Ah, yes, yes, the Upper Sect."

Seeing Ancestor Wuji's murderous expression, Holy Master Wuji was startled and quickly changed his words in affirmation.

He was a little confused. Ancestor Wuji had only submitted to the Qingtian Sect and gone to pay protection fees.

Why was he acting like a die-hard fan of the Qingtian Sect, not even allowing its name to be mentioned?

Hearing Holy Master Wuji correct himself, Ancestor Wuji's expression softened.

He said sternly to Holy Master Wuji, "Go and find forty-nine of the most loyal and talented people in the Holy Land right now. You will accompany This Old Ancestor to the Qingtian Sect to Cultivate later."

Due to the preciousness of these advanced study slots, he couldn't just pick random people; they absolutely had to be the most loyal to the Holy Land.

This would benefit both the Wuji Holy Land and the Qingtian Sect, preventing the cultivation of a group of ungrateful people.

"Ah, Cultivate at the Qingtian Sect?"

Holy Master Wuji's expression immediately went blank.

Although their Wuji Holy Land couldn't compare to the Qingtian Sect in strength, their Cultivation environment was still top-tier on the continent.

There was simply no need to go to the Qingtian Sect to Cultivate.

"O-Old Ancestor, why do we need to select people to Cultivate at the Qingtian Sect?" Holy Master Wuji asked, gathering his courage.

Because he truly couldn't understand the intention behind Ancestor Wuji's actions.

"Slap!"

Just as Holy Master Wuji finished asking, Ancestor Wuji delivered a hard slap across his face.

Knocking him several miles away, he roared, "Are you rebelling? Old Ancestor tells you what to do, and you do it! How dare you talk back?"

Holy Master Wuji covered his right cheek, which was swollen like a bun, and quickly stood up, begging for mercy, "Old Ancestor, forgive me! Old Ancestor, forgive me! I will go select the Disciples right away."

Having said that, he disappeared in a puff of smoke before Ancestor Wuji.

Not long after.

Forty-nine young figures, both male and female, appeared before Ancestor Wuji.

"Old Ancestor, the people you requested have arrived." Holy Master Wuji continued covering his right cheek, speaking pitifully to Ancestor Wuji.

He was truly unlucky today; he got beaten into a pig's head just for asking a question. His Old Ancestor certainly had a terrible temper.
