I Don’t Want to Get Hurt, So I’ll Max Out My Defense

Chapter 814: Chapter 815: Do Sword Sect Disciples Have a Masochistic Tendency?
 

Indeed, women are fickle creatures, but Li Xiaobai had no time to concern himself with their cultivation for now.

Today, letting them taste Huazi’s flavor was also a groundwork for opening a store in the Sword Sect in the future, turning those who tasted it into potential customers, with a guaranteed return rate of one hundred percent.

“Young Master Li, we have already completed the task, may we leave now?”

“In the future, if there’s any use for us, just call us and we will help you with all our might.”

The cultivators said somewhat awkwardly, although Huazi was very tempting, right now they just wanted to leave this place quickly and return to their own caverns to take a good bath.

“Wishful thinking, get into the bowl quickly.”

Li Xiaobai slapped the gourd, and without further ado, directly gathered everyone into the bag.

…

A few minutes later.

In the Steward Hall.

Li Xiaobai, with his hands clasped behind his back, slowly walked into it. Elder Chen was still in charge inside the Steward Hall, and beside him, Chen Yuan was sitting with a sullen face, meditating and regulating his breath. His little treasury had taken a severe hit, making him feel as if life had suddenly lost its color.

The coming and going cultivators mechanically handed over various Demonic Beast materials and the fruits of their trials, in exchange for Contribution Points.

As soon as many cultivators saw Li Xiaobai, they immediately dodged to one side, not wanting to get involved with him.

“Kid, what are you doing here again?”

Upon hearing the disturbance from the surrounding cultivators, Elder Chen looked up and surveyed the area. Upon seeing who had come, his expression suddenly changed, and anger flickered in his eyes as he spoke.

Just an hour or two not seen, and he had to encounter this unlucky creature again. Truly bad luck.

“I… I gave you all my Immortal Stones!”

“You can’t trouble me!”

Chen Yuan also became nervous.

“I’ve come to exchange for Contribution Points, today’s toilets have all been cleaned.”

Li Xiaobai took out his Identity Token and said.

“That was quick, here you go.”

Elder Chen spoke, casually adding twelve Contribution Points to the token. This time he did not deduct anything, one point for each peak, twelve in total.

“Actually, I also happened to save a few Sword Sect Disciples, all of Human Immortal Realm cultivation, I wonder how many Contribution Points I can get?”

Li Xiaobai did not put away the token, but continued to ask.

“Successfully saving Sword Sect Disciples will not add too many Contribution Points, for the Sword Sect’s philosophy says that life and death are destined in the place of trial, and it is easier to understand the Sword Intent between life and death. However, assisting Sword Sect Disciples still earns rewards, saving one person can add a hundred Contribution Points.”

“How many did you save?”

Elder Chen furrowed his brow slightly and spoke, a bad premonition rising in his heart.

“Not many, Elder Chen, just check it out.”

Li Xiaobai took out the Purple Gold Gourd, lightly tapped it, and dumped out the cultivators all at once.

In an instant, the entire hall fell silent.

The Disciples stared blankly at the sudden appearance of dozens of cultivators in the center of the hall, all saved by that guy with a hand wave?

Could we be any more unreliable, where did you manage to save dozens of disciples all at once?

This is clearly you tying them up directly!

“This guy is abducting people again, I swear on my brother’s life, this thing is definitely about abduction!”

“Binding people and bringing them to the Steward Hall to exchange for Contribution Points, how can such a shameless person exist in the world?”

“Because he is Li Xiaobai…”n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

“You’ve bound people again? And so many Disciples at once, did you take the Sect Master’s words as a mere breeze past your ears?”

Elder Chen’s temple vein throbbed as he looked at the disciples sitting on the ground, their faces darkly menacing. This was a familiar scene indeed; this guy truly knew no bounds.

“Elder Chen, although you can eat whatever you like, you can’t just say anything. They encountered danger, and I just happened to pass by and lent a hand. According to what Elder Sun just mentioned, each person is worth one hundred contribution points. Time to settle the bill,”

Li Xiaobai said indifferently.

“Yes, yes, we all came across danger and were lucky to be rescued by Young Master Li. Elder Chen, he is truly a good person!”

The disciples quickly reacted, hastily agreeing. Whatever Li Xiaobai said was absolute; they dared not oppose him.

“I’ll be damned…”

“Truly the exemplary disciples of the Sword Sect…”

An hour later.

Li Xiaobai walked out of the Steward Hall, satisfied, patting the identity token hanging by his waist. This time, he had roped in forty-seven disciples, each contributing one hundred points, making a total of 4,700 contribution points.

He’d need to do more of this sort of business in the future, then he could pick whatever scriptures and cultivation techniques he wanted from the Scripture Pavilion.

…

Inside the Steward Hall.

Watching Li Xiaobai leave, Elder Chen coldly said to the disciples, “He’s gone far now, you can tell the truth. It was him who roped you into cleaning the latrines, right?”

“As disciples of the Sword Sect, we must not indulge in luxury, be moved by poverty, or succumb to might. I am very disappointed in you today!”

Elder Chen wanted to catch Li Xiaobai in the act and secretly report him to the Sect Master.

But unexpectedly, the disciples looked at him as if they were looking at a fool and said:

“Elder Chen, what are you talking about?”

“Young Master Li treated us well; what’s the big deal about cleaning the latrines for him?”

“Ah, I’m not talking about this anymore, I need to rush back to take a bath and change clothes. Tomorrow I have to continue cleaning latrines for Young Master Li!”

“Exactly, I’m going too!”

“Haha! How could you delicate ladies possibly handle the important task of cleaning latrines? Tomorrow, I must be the first one there!”

The men and women left the Steward Hall laughing and chatting, leaving behind a completely baffled Elder Chen and other cultivators.

“What on earth are they talking about?”

“Being roped in once wasn’t enough, and they actually want to volunteer again?”

They couldn’t believe their ears. Those disciples had clearly been forced, yet now they seemed eager and were even planning to go clean the latrines again?

When did they ever notice that their Sword Sect disciples had such masochistic tendencies?

What kind of sorcery had Li Xiaobai used to completely change these disciples’ nature!

“This kid is really nefarious!”

…

On Second Peak.

Li Xiaobai transferred all the contribution points on the token to Old Beggar and Ergouzi.

Now, a good cultivation technique and scripture were crucial for them. To go far in the future, they needed to establish a solid foundation now.

As for Ji Wuqing, that guy didn’t need any resources for cultivation techniques.

“Thanks a lot. Old Beggar will remember this favor,” Old Beggar said seriously.

“Woof, boy, once Ergouzi makes it, I’ll take care of you!” Ergouzi said as well.

“It’s nothing, just a little effort. Next time, we’ll get more disciples, and our contribution points will surely exceed ten thousand. Then, we can buy whatever we want.”

“Now I want to set up a shop and a bathhouse here on Second Peak. Help me clear a space. Our rise to power starts from here!”
