Chapter 311 - If My Friend Dies, So Be It (2)
Chapter 311: If My Friend Dies, So Be It (2)
Lu Ping said helplessly, “Every calamity is different. No one knows what the next one will be. There might not be such a chance to become a god, and it might just be to resist the killing calamity!”
“Then I have to agree! Hurry up and tell that Mr. Sun!” Zhang Biao was getting anxious.
In fact, cultivators were basically opportunists.
If one didn’t seize an opportunity, it would be gone.
Not to mention that no one could be sure about the future.
It was like a lot of people who had a job that could earn 3000 in reality suddenly had the opportunity to earn 30,000 a month.
Even if they knew that they could only work for 10 years, would they go or not?
The benefits in front of them were always more attractive than the risks in the future.
Moreover, risks represented opportunities.
30,000 star dollars a month. After 10 years, they might have millions of star dollars in capital.
The difference in wealth accumulation could insane in comparison to earning 3000 a month all your life.
Even if they lost their jobs ten years later, they could still do many other things with the capital they had.
The same was true for immortal cultivation.
The stronger one’s cultivation, the more secure they would be for their own safety. They would be able to obtain more resources, and their cultivation speed would be faster.
At this time, who cared about the future?
To put it bluntly, who knew when they would die?
When one’s cultivation base was weak, they might even be killed by demonic beasts when they went out to pick herbs.
Zhang Biao made a decision.
Lu Ping immediately informed Sun Wukong.
Sun Wukong also went to look for Zhu Bajie.
When he heard that Sun Wukong wanted to give him a disciple, Zhu Bajie was actually unwilling.
“Senior brother, why didn’t you accept that kid but let me take in an ordinary human? Isn’t his talent too good?” Zhu Bajie said unwillingly, “How is it not good? Even if I threw a rock at someone, the person I hit might not be worse than the person you mentioned.”
Sun Wukong sneered, “You fool, if I didn’t scheme, would I have allowed you to accept that kid as your disciple?”
“Zhang Biao has a close relationship with Lu Ping. You have to know that Lu Ping is not simple. We accept disciples only to withstand calamities, but no one knows if we can withstand it or not. Besides, other than calamities, we also need to get out of the current situation and live a carefree life. Therefore, as long as there is one disciple, it will be fine. The more important thing is to build a closer relationship with Lu Ping!”
Zhu Bajie said suspiciously, “Then why don’t you take that kid as your disciple, Sun Wukong?”
Sun Wukong sighed, “Our relationship is very close. I’m not afraid to tell you directly. My relationship with Lu Ping is getting closer and closer. After a period of time, we will go to the Heavenly Court together. If there really is something in the future, how can he not help me? However, your relationship with Lu Ping is the weakest among the three of us. If Lu Ping has something to do, he can either look for Kong Xuan or me. Even if you take in a disciple through him in the future, I don’t think there will be any changes. If something really happens, will he help you? If you take in that friend of his as a disciple, your relationship will be different!”
“I’ve already seen it. Lu Ping has a very close relationship with Zhang Biao. If you treat Zhang Biao well, if something really happens in the future, even if it’s for the sake of Zhang Biao, he will not stand idly by.”
In fact, the current situation was that Lu Ping had his own selfish motives with these people.
At the same time, their relationship was also improving bit by bit.
This was an inevitable process of interpersonal communication.
Bajie pondered for a moment and said, “I understand. Then, according to what Sun Wukong said, I’ll take him in as a disciple!”
Next, the matter was simple. Zhu Bajie went to the Seven Phoenixes sect and took Zhang Biao in as a disciple in the Sun Flame Grand Hall.
This was also an experiment conducted by Sun Wukong, Lu Ping, and the others.
After they left the Sun Flame Grand Hall, Sun Wukong made some calculations and said in surprise, “As expected, the heavenly secrets are still obscure.”
After saying that, Sun Wukong looked at Lu Ping and asked, “When are we going to the Heavenly Court?”
“In a while. Isn’t my father-in-law here? The sect has to make some adjustments.” Lu Ping sighed.
After this, he decided to expand the recruitment before he left!
The disciples of the sect were actually already busy.
After all, learning grade SSS spells would greatly increase their battle strength.
And if they wanted to learn spells, they needed contribution points.
And with the establishment of the Mission Hall, they had begun to establish a cycle of consumption within the sect.
Contribution points could not only be exchanged for cultivation techniques, but also for materials, magical treasures, medicinal pills, and so on.
Anything that belonged to the sect could be exchanged through contribution points.
To a certain extent, sect contribution points were the currency for the cultivation of these cultivators within the sect.
Regardless of whether the disciples turned in or exchanged, Lu Ping could take a tenth of the profits each time.
This was very impressive.
But at the same time, it wasn’t enough.
Because there were still too few disciples, so!
But before that, Lu Ping planned to promote some of the disciples to become inner sect disciples.
During this period of time, some of the disciples who were particularly outstanding had gradually revealed themselves.
Chu Nanxi was definitely one of them.
Her cultivation was getting higher and higher. When she entered the sect, her cultivation wasn’t the highest, but as time passed, she gradually caught up.
Moreover, her sect contribution points were increasing at an extremely fast rate. There was nothing she wouldn’t do if she had to pay for the materials of demonic beasts’ corpses, refine pills, and refine weapons.
She was truly a versatile and all-rounder.
She was also the first disciple in the sect to reach 1,500 contribution points.
“As expected of an old demon! Awesome.” On the bed, Lu Ping hugged Huang Xiaoqi and said with a smile, “This one’s soul is tens of thousands of years old. She joined our sect.”
Huang Xiaoqi curled her lips. “Tens of thousands of years old is a child. How can she be considered an old demon?”
Lu Ping nothing.
Then what was he, a baby?
Suddenly, Huang Xiaoqi reacted and looked at Lu Ping with an aggrieved face. “Do you dislike me for being old?”
Lu Ping hurriedly said, “It’s nothing. My baby is still young, younger than anyone else! But this girl’s sect loyalty is really rising slowly.”
He chose to change the topic.
After these disciples had cultivated for this period of time, their sect loyalty had greatly increased.
This was especially so for the group of disciples led by Liu Wu.
The sect loyalty had already risen to an extremely high level.
Liu Wu’s current sect loyalty was 98, the highest among all outer sect disciples.
It could be said that it wouldn’t be a problem for him to die in battle for the sect.
However, Liu Wu’s cultivation speed was much faster than Chu Nanxi’s.
His temperament wasn’t bad, and he had the support of his cultivation speed and resources. However, his aptitude was still there.
Therefore, his cultivation speed could only be said to be below average.
After all, the other disciples also had these benefits.
However, compared to the other sects or cultivators outside, his cultivation speed was terrifying.
Even so, Liu Wu was already very satisfied.
Otherwise, the sect’s loyalty wouldn’t have increased so much.
But Chu Nanxi was different. Her sect loyalty only reached 50.
It could only be said that she had good intentions, but it was impossible to say how loyal she was.
“Tell me, how can I make her be more loyal to the sect?” Lu Ping said, stroking his chin.
He didn’t want to painstakingly cultivate a disciple and then end up having them defect or leave the sect.
“Isn’t that simple? Find a loyal disciple and marry her!” Huang Xiaoqi said with a smile.
Lu Ping said nothing.
Was this something he could control?
“It’s not reliable! Change it to another one!”
“Then take her as your disciple and treat her better. Otherwise, what can you do? Isn’t that how masters treat their disciples?” Huang Xiaoqi said with a smile.
Lu Ping pondered for a moment and said, “Taking her in as a disciple is a reliable thing.”
The relationship between people depended on getting along with each other.
To put it bluntly, even if they were biological parents, if they didn’t treat their children well, then the relationship between the two parties wouldn’t be too good either.
Take Lu Ping as an example. The loyalty of a few personal disciples to the sect all exceeded 90 points.
Cui Mengyao and Lu Zi, in particular, had reached 100 points.
Soon, all the outer sect disciples were gathered together.
Lu Ping stood on the stage and swept his gaze across everyone.
Everyone looked at Lu Ping.
