You're just waiting to die!

Demonic Sect. Outer Sect.

"Ding! Host has successfully gained the approval of the mine deacon, Situ Yun, and has become an Outer Sect Disciple of the Baleful Yin Sect. Rewards: 2,000 Counterattack Points, the Cultivation Technique 'Nine-Turn Golden Core Manual', personal space expanded to 1,000 cubic meters, and remote teleportation function enabled..."

Qi Yuan took the robes and nameplate representing his status as an Outer Sect Disciple of the Baleful Yin Sect, and the next moment, the System notification for completing the mission rang in his mind.

He did not immediately check the newly opened teleportation function of the System, but instead cupped his hands toward the deacon Disciple in front of him and asked with a puzzled tone, "Senior Brother Jiao, now that I am a Disciple of the Yin Sha Sect, who should I go to for my Sect's Cultivation Technique, and where should I stay?"

Upon hearing this, Jiao Guang glanced sideways at Qi Yuan, let out a cold snort from his nose, and said with a fake smile, "This is the Yin Sha Sect, not a charity house. You've only just joined and haven't made any contributions, yet you want the Yin Sha Sect's Cultivation Technique? How is that reasonable?"

"If you want a Cultivation Technique, you can exchange it with merit points or Spirit Stones."

"Additionally, the Outer Sect dormitories are full, and since you were added temporarily, you'll have to find a place to stay yourself. We'll see when there's a vacant room."

He could tell that the brat in front of him was just a poor Loose Cultivator, and there was absolutely no profit to be squeezed out of him.

As for his background, since he was reduced to becoming an Outer Sect Disciple at Blood Refining Peak, his background certainly couldn't be very impressive.

In the Outer Sect, Blood Refining Peak was a notoriously dangerous place, known as the graveyard for newcomers. The Disciples inside were all ruthless and deeply demonic; if this Qi Da could survive for a month, he would be considered lucky.

Originally, if the other party had been sensible and offered some Spirit Stones, he might have been kind enough to arrange a relatively safe place for him to stay.

But now... Heh, never mind a place to stay, I won't even give you a Cultivation Technique!

Qi Yuan was stunned as he listened.

Damn, the treatment of Demonic Sect Disciples is truly terrible. As an Outer Sect Disciple, forget about introductory Cultivation Techniques; they don't even allocate a place to live.

When I was a servant in Falling Cloud Valley, I never had it this miserable...

It seems Righteous Path Sects are more suitable for me; the Demonic Sect or whatever is just too stingy.

"I see. Thank you for your guidance, Senior Brother Jiao. I will go find a place to stay on my own then. Farewell."

Although he was extremely disgusted in his heart, he still politely nodded at the other party, took his things, and turned to leave.

Seeing that he actually just walked away like that, Jiao Guang frowned slightly, then a mocking smile appeared on his face. Hmph, poor wretch! If you don't have money and don't know how to conduct yourself, just wait to die!

...

After coming out of the Outer Sect Internal Affairs Hall, Qi Yuan wandered around Blood Refining Peak for a while and discovered that, other than the Yin Qi being heavier, it wasn't much different from ordinary immortal cultivation Sects.

The only thing a bit special was that the passing Demonic Sect Disciples all seemed to be in a rush. When they met, very few stopped to greet each other; instead, they subconsciously kept their distance from one another, as if afraid of being ambushed.

Of course, Qi Yuan remembered that he didn't even have a place to stay, so he hurriedly stepped forward to stop an Outer Sect Disciple who was rushing by, "Fellow Disciple, please wait."

The demonic cultivator he stopped subconsciously took a few steps back, stared at him with a guarded expression, and asked in a deep voice, "Who are you? What do you want?"

Qi Yuan smiled slightly and said in a friendly tone, "I am Qi Da. I just joined the Yin Sha Sect as an Outer Sect Disciple today. I would like to ask you, are there any vacant residences nearby?"

A newcomer? The demonic cultivator was stunned for a moment, then said with a strange expression, "There are vacant residences everywhere here. Just find an empty house and move in."

After saying this, without waiting for Qi Yuan to reply, he bypassed him and disappeared in an instant.

Qi Yuan stood there looking puzzled, but quickly realized, "So that guy surnamed Jiao was lying to me earlier; there is absolutely no shortage of places to stay here."

"That's right, I'm new here and didn't give him any benefits, so of course that guy would try to find a way to make things difficult for me."

Thinking of this, Qi Yuan narrowed his eyes and muttered, "That bastard surnamed Jiao is really something else. Next time I see him, I must teach him a lesson about integrity and uprightness."

"I don't know what brainless task the System will refresh next, so for now, I shouldn't disturb that enchantress Ji Chan'er. I'll stay in the Outer Sect and see how things go first."

"Anyway, as a gathering place for Outer Sect Disciples, Blood Refining Peak doesn't have anyone who can threaten me, but the Inner Sect might be a different story..."

After pondering for a moment, he decided to continue looking for a place to stay and get settled first.

In just a short while, Qi Yuan set his sights on a quiet and elegant small courtyard.

There was no Restriction set outside this small courtyard, and there was no lock on the door, so it was clearly in an unoccupied state.

The furnishings inside the courtyard were exquisite and spotless, proving that there were special servants who cleaned it regularly.

What was even better was that this small courtyard was a significant distance away from the nearest houses, ensuring privacy, which suited his current needs perfectly.

After making up his mind, he couldn't wait to push the door open and enter, only to find that the bed in the main room was completely empty, with no signs of anyone living there.

Glancing at the magnificently carved furniture in the room, Qi Yuan nodded with satisfaction.

It seems I misunderstood the Demonic Sect earlier. The Demonic Sect is indeed wealthy and powerful; even the living conditions for Outer Sect Disciples are this luxurious, almost comparable to the Inner Sect Disciples of the Taixuan Holy Land.

What's even more awesome is that even a place of this standard has no takers. Perhaps for other Outer Sect Disciples, this is considered poor...

After sighing with admiration a few times, Qi Yuan couldn't be bothered to overthink it. He hung a sign outside the courtyard that read [This courtyard is occupied, please do not disturb], casually set up a Foundation Establishment Stage level Restriction, and then leisurely returned to the room.

He was still looking forward to the newly opened teleportation function of the System.

...

Not long after.

"Holy crap, the Grade A Immortal Cave is occupied!"

"Hurry and report to Senior Brother Chi, someone has seized the Grade A Immortal Cave..."

"So I wasn't seeing things. Who could be so arrogant? Could it be Senior Brother Wu?"

...

For a time, all the Disciples of Blood Refining Peak passing by were shocked. One by one, they looked as if they had seen a ghost and started taking detours, moving as fast as if their butts were on fire.
