353: What kind of person is your master? Would the upper sect need to lie to your master?
Now that he knew the Qingtian Sect possessed such a treasure.
He didn't feel wronged at all; in fact, he felt that the previous tests and kowtows were simply too easy.
Because if other Sects outside knew that the Qingtian Sect offered such Heaven-Defying benefits to its Affiliated Forces, even the most difficult tests would cause people to break down the Qingtian Sect's threshold. How could the Qinglei Imperial Sect even get a turn?
"Alright, Fellow Daoist Lei, you know about the benefits for Affiliated Forces. What are your intentions regarding serving in my Qingtian Sect?" Li Big Saber asked, looking at Lei Zhentian, who was so excited he was nearly in tears.
Facing Li Big Saber's inquiry, Lei Zhentian snapped back to reality and replied without hesitation, "Grand Elder, I am willing to serve in the Upper Sect, even if I have to be a Common Laborer."
After speaking, Lei Zhentian stared intently at Li Big Saber, awaiting his reply.
Since the option to serve was available, he certainly wouldn't choose the affiliated force model, which involved doing chores and Cultivating simultaneously.
After all, with his cultivation as a Great Emperor, even a random assignment within the Qingtian Sect would offer better treatment than the cultivation quota given to Affiliated Forces.
"Very well. Since you wish to serve in my Qingtian Sect, This Elder will arrange it for you. Go back first and set up a Teleportation Array leading to my Qingtian Sect. After bringing those fifty Cultivators, come back to Report for Duty."
Li Big Saber nodded, took out a Blueprint for the Qingtian Sect's Teleportation Array, and handed it to Lei Zhentian, asking him to go back and set up the Teleportation Array himself, saving him the trouble of sending someone else to do it.
"Yes, Grand Elder. I will return immediately to set up the Teleportation Array and then select personnel to Cultivate in the Upper Sect." Lei Zhentian accepted the Teleportation Array Blueprint, bowed, and replied.
"Mm, you may go then." Li Big Saber waved his hand slightly, then went back to his Residence on his own.
"Respectfully seeing off the Grand Elder!" Lei Zhentian bowed again toward Li Big Saber's retreating figure, then tore open a Spatial Rift and stepped inside, beginning his journey back to the Qinglei Imperial Sect.
In the Square of the Qinglei Imperial Sect, after several days of travel, Lei Zhentian finally returned to the Qinglei Imperial Sect.
As soon as he returned, he immediately shouted, "Sand Sable Disciple, come to Revered Master quickly! Revered Master has important matters to discuss with you!"
Not long after Lei Zhentian's words fell, Sand Sable and Sha Xiaomeng hurriedly appeared beside Lei Zhentian.
"Revered Master, you're back! How did the negotiations with the Upper Sect go? Did the Upper Sect accept us?" Sand Sable immediately asked upon reaching Lei Zhentian's side.
Although Sha Xiaomeng didn't speak, she stared at Lei Zhentian with her beautiful eyes, clearly wanting to know the situation as well.
Looking at the expressions of Sand Sable and Sha Xiaomeng, Lei Zhentian grinned, playing coy. "Hehe, take a guess. If you guess correctly, there's a mysterious grand prize."
Seeing that Lei Zhentian actually wanted them to guess, promising a mysterious grand prize if they were right, Sand Sable and Sha Xiaomeng looked speechless.
Lei Zhentian was the one who went to the Qingtian Sect, so only he knew the outcome.
However, judging by Lei Zhentian's happy expression, the negotiations were likely successful; otherwise, he wouldn't be smiling at all.
Therefore, to play along with Lei Zhentian, the two pretended to think for a moment, then spoke with happy expressions.
"Haha, Revered Master, I guessed it! You must have successfully negotiated with the Upper Sect, and the Upper Sect has accepted us, right?"
"Mhm, Revered Master, I guess the same thing."
The two spoke their guesses seriously, then stared at Lei Zhentian expectantly, waiting for him to reveal the answer.
Seeing the expectant looks on Sand Sable and Sha Xiaomeng's faces, Lei Zhentian laughed heartily, "Haha, my two Disciples are indeed exceptionally intelligent! Your guess is completely correct. This mysterious grand prize counts as one share for each of you."
"Oh, a mysterious grand prize?"
Hearing this, Sand Sable and Sha Xiaomeng looked at Lei Zhentian in confusion.
Since their Qinglei Imperial Sect had submitted to the Qingtian Sect, they should be preparing Tribute items. Where would a mysterious grand prize come from?
"Revered Master, what mysterious grand prize? Tell us!"
"That's right, Revered Master. We guessed correctly, hurry up and tell us!"
Sand Sable and Sha Xiaomeng asked Lei Zhentian curiously.
Although they didn't know what this mysterious grand prize was, judging by Lei Zhentian's joyous appearance, it must be extraordinary, so they were very curious.
"Hehe, since my two Disciples are so intelligent, Revered Master will tell you."
Facing the curious gazes of Sand Sable and Sha Xiaomeng, Lei Zhentian didn't delay further and recounted everything Li Big Saber had told him to the two of them.
"What! The Upper Sect's Cultivation environment is actually so Heaven-Defying?"
After hearing this, Sand Sable and Sha Xiaomeng cried out in astonishment, standing rooted to the spot with wide eyes.
Judging by the strength of Night Owl, Elder Zhao Da, and the others, the Qingtian Sect's Cultivation environment was definitely top-tier.
But now, based on Lei Zhentian's description, the word "top-tier" could no longer describe the Qingtian Sect's Cultivation environment.
Only the term Heaven-Defying could adequately describe the Qingtian Sect's Cultivation environment.
After all, setting aside the Spiritual Qi environment, the Time Pagoda, which can accelerate the Time Flow Rate by thousands of times, is absolutely a Heaven-Defying treasure, unique on the continent.
"Hehe, my two Disciples, isn't this mysterious grand prize Revered Master spoke of quite grand?" Lei Zhentian asked with a smile, seeing Sand Sable and Sha Xiaomeng stunned.
When Li Big Saber mentioned it, he, a Great Emperor, was incredibly shocked. Sand Sable and Sha Xiaomeng, being Minor Saint Emperors, must be utterly overwhelmed with shock.
Hearing Lei Zhentian's words, Sand Sable and Sha Xiaomeng took a long time to finally close their mouths.
Then, with excited expressions, they asked Lei Zhentian, "Revered Master, can the Upper Sect really allow us to go there to Cultivate?"
"That's right, Revered Master. This sounds too fantastical, like pie falling from the sky."
After asking, they looked at Lei Zhentian with a mixture of expectation and bewilderment.
After all, their Qinglei Imperial Sect hadn't offered any Tribute to the Qingtian Sect, yet they were receiving fifty quotas to Cultivate in the Qingtian Sect—it was exactly like pie falling from the sky.
Of course, they desperately hoped this was true, because every Cultivator would want to go to such a Heaven-Defying Cultivation environment.
As long as they could enter the Qingtian Sect to Cultivate, even two hours of Cultivation per day would be countless times faster than Cultivating in the Qinglei Imperial Sect.
"Hmph, you two rascals! I just praised you for being exceptionally intelligent, and now you're acting as stupid as pigs?"
"Given the trash quality of your Revered Master, would the Upper Sect need to trick him?"
Hearing the skeptical words of Sand Sable and Sha Xiaomeng, Lei Zhentian put on an expression of disappointment, sternly rebuking the pair.
Given the Qingtian Sect's strength, there was absolutely no need to deceive him.
After all, with his level of Cultivation, Li Big Saber could kill him with a single glare. Why would he waste words trying to trick him?
