282: Change places for Bai Xiangling and Dugu Xiong

Jiang Chen disappeared from the Main Hall in a flash, then instantly appeared above the plaza.

On the plaza at this moment.

Tens of thousands of newly recruited Outer Sect Disciples, along with the Blue-Robed Youth, all stood neatly and silently, awaiting Jiang Chen's arrival for his address.

Upon seeing Jiang Chen arrive, Li Big Saber immediately shouted, "Sect Master has arrived! All Disciples, pay your respects!"

Hearing Li Big Saber's voice.

Tens of thousands of Disciples glanced at Jiang Chen in the air, then bowed respectfully and shouted, "Disciple pays respects to Sect Master!"

"Mm, you may rise!"

Jiang Chen replied indifferently, then landed in front of the Blue-Robed Youth to examine his detailed introduction.

[Huangfu Yun, 20 years old, Ninth-Grade Talent, Saint First-level Cultivation]

[Special Physique: Qilin Saint Body]

[Life Trajectory: Born in the shattered continent of the original Xuantian World, in the Seven Luminaries Sect, the strongest Imperial Sect on the Seven Luminaries Continent. He is the only son of the Peak Great Emperor, Sect Master of the Seven Luminaries Sect. Now that the continents have reunited, the Seven Luminaries Sect was annihilated by the Beast Taming Sect, which had merged over. He was coincidentally pursued to the vicinity of Qingtian Sect and joined Qingtian Sect to evade his enemies and seek revenge.]

"Heh, so he's from another merged continent."

After reading Huangfu Yun's introduction, Jiang Chen's face held a faint smile, having understood the origins of this Ninth-Grade Talent Disciple.

Feeling Sect Master Jiang Chen scrutinizing him, Huangfu Yun lowered his head, a nervous expression on his face.

He quickly tried to recall if he had done anything wrong since joining the Sect.

After all, Jiang Chen wasn't scrutinizing other Disciples, only him, which put a lot of pressure on him.

Seeing Huangfu Yun almost break out in a cold sweat from fear, Jiang Chen smiled and withdrew his gaze.

He was merely curious about Huangfu Yun's origins; now that he had clarified it, there was no need to keep staring at the Disciple, as it would scare him.

Jiang Chen scanned the tens of thousands of Disciples, then raised his voice and slowly began his address.

"Greetings, Disciples, and welcome to Qingtian Sect. Your ability to pass the test and join the Sect indicates that your talents and mental states are superior. As long as you Cultivate diligently in the future, becoming a Great Emperor or an Immortal is possible."

"However, there is one thing you must remember: once you enter Qingtian Sect, you must abide by the Sect rules. If you violate the Sect rules, the Sect will show no mercy."

As Jiang Chen's words fell, Huangfu Yun and the tens of thousands of Outer Sect Disciples immediately bowed and shouted, "Yes, Sect Master, Disciples will definitely abide by the Sect rules!"

"Mm."

Jiang Chen nodded, looking at Li Big Saber and saying, "Big Saber, take them to arrange accommodation, collect their Sect attire, and familiarize themselves with the Sect."

"Yes, Sect Master!"

Li Big Saber assented, then shouted to the Disciples, "All Disciples, follow This Elder!"

With that, he walked towards Qingtian Sect's residential area.

Upon seeing this, the Disciples bowed to Jiang Chen again to take their leave, then quickly followed Li Big Saber's footsteps.

Seeing the Disciples leave.

Jiang Chen was not in a hurry to return to the Main Hall to enjoy himself.

Instead, he called over Dugu Xiong and Bai Xiangling, preparing to inquire about their recent Cultivation progress.

After all, as Qingtian Sect's affiliated forces, their epic treasure chest hadn't been spawned yet, so as the Upper Sect Master, he occasionally needed to show concern and urge their progress.

"This lowly maidservant greets Upper Sect Master!"

"Xiao Xiong greets Upper Sect Master!"

As soon as Bai Xiangling and Dugu Xiong arrived at the plaza, they respectfully knelt before Jiang Chen and paid their respects.

"Mm, rise."

Jiang Chen nodded, examining their Cultivation.

When he saw that Dugu Xiong had already broken through to Quasi-Emperor Eighth-level, while Bai Xiangling's Cultivation was still at Saint Peak, his brows furrowed.

Last time, under his instructions, Bai Xiangling entered the Time Pagoda for full-time Cultivation and soon after Broke Through to Saint-level, and he also received a rare treasure chest.

Now, more than a month had passed, and Bai Xiangling was still at Saint Peak, which was truly too slow.

Seeing Jiang Chen glance at her, his expression turning displeased.

Bai Xiangling's face turned pale with fright.

Jiang Chen had told her she didn't need to work and could Cultivate full-time in the Time Pagoda; his original intention must have been for her to rapidly increase her strength.

Now that Jiang Chen was frowning, he was probably dissatisfied with the speed of her Cultivation advancement.

After all, she had Cultivated in the Time Pagoda for over a hundred years and was still at Saint Peak; compared to those Qingtian Sect Disciples, it was indeed a bit slow.

"Upper Sect Master, please forgive me!"

"This lowly maidservant has failed Upper Sect Master's expectations; please punish me, Upper Sect Master." Bai Xiangling knelt at Jiang Chen's feet, voluntarily confessing her fault to Jiang Chen.

Although she had Cultivated very diligently without any breaks, since Jiang Chen was displeased, she must be at fault, so she had to proactively admit her mistake.

Looking at Bai Xiangling, who was already kneeling in fright, Jiang Chen was also somewhat taken aback.

He did indeed feel that Bai Xiangling's Cultivation was improving too slowly, but he never intended to blame her; this girl was too sensitive.

Jiang Chen waved out a stream of power, helping Bai Xiangling up and smiling, "Xiao Bai, don't be afraid. This Sect Master has no intention of blaming you. This Sect Master also bears some responsibility for the slow progress of your Cultivation."

"Therefore, This Sect Master has decided to let you two Cultivate in the space reserved only for Direct Disciples, where the time flow rate is three thousand times faster, which can increase your Cultivation speed by several times."

Since Bai Xiangling's talent was insufficient, he would compensate with a cheat. If a thousand times time flow rate wasn't fast enough, then he would let her Cultivate in the three thousand times space.

The goal remained the same: to quickly spawn the epic treasure chest on Bai Xiangling.

After all, the immortal path had already appeared. If Bai Xiangling's treasure chest wasn't quickly spawned, by the time Qingtian Sect's Disciples were ready to Ascend, this epic treasure chest would be of little use.

"Ah! Three... three thousand times space?" Hearing that Jiang Chen not only didn't punish her but also allowed her to go to the three thousand times Time Pagoda space, Bai Xiangling's mouth dropped open in astonishment.

She had clearly seen Jiang Chen's displeasure, yet now Jiang Chen was not only not angry but also upgraded her benefits; it was truly incredible.

Beside him, Dugu Xiong's face was also filled with wild joy upon hearing Jiang Chen's words.

Jiang Chen had just said "you two," meaning that he, like Bai Xiangling, could also go to the three thousand times Time Pagoda space. It was truly earning benefits while doing nothing.

With a three thousand times time flow rate, he would soon be able to Breakthrough to Great Emperor; everything in his illusion was finally about to come true.

"What, still not satisfied?" Jiang Chen asked with a smile, looking at Bai Xiangling, whose mouth was wide open in surprise.

His action was indeed unexpected.

After all, in Bai Xiangling's eyes, he was inexplicably upgrading her benefits, which would surprise anyone.

But he couldn't tell Bai Xiangling that he was doing this to spawn the treasure chest on her; that would only confuse her more.

"Ah, no, no."

"This lowly maidservant is satisfied! This lowly maidservant thanks Upper Sect Master!" Hearing Jiang Chen's question, Bai Xiangling reacted and immediately knelt on the ground, kowtowing frantically.

Although she didn't know why Jiang Chen was doing this, since he was upgrading her benefits, it was a good thing.

Glancing at Bai Xiangling, who was kowtowing vigorously, Jiang Chen said to the ecstatic Dugu Xiong, "Xiao Xiong, you go with Xiao Bai too. Strive to Cultivate to Great Emperor as soon as possible."

"Thank you, Upper Sect Master, thank you, Upper Sect Master!" Dugu Xiong, upon hearing this, knelt before Jiang Chen with an excited expression and kowtowed.

Although Jiang Chen's previous words had already hinted at this, it was truly confirmed now that he had personally said it.

"Mm, you two may go." Jiang Chen waved his hand, signaling that they could go Cultivate.

"Yes, Upper Sect Master!"

"This lowly maidservant takes her leave!"

"Xiao Xiong takes his leave!"

Bai Xiangling and Dugu Xiong assented, their faces filled with excitement, and quickly left the plaza.

Seeing the two leave, Jiang Chen then disappeared from the plaza and returned to the Main Hall to enjoy himself.

He planned to wait for Li Big Saber to finish the third Disciple recruitment before uniformly opening the treasure chests.
