Chapter 2: Are You Sent by the Heavens to Torment Me?
At this point, the crowd gathered below had long since dispersed, leaving only Ye Feng behind.
"You said... you are willing to hand over one hundred thousand low-grade Spirit Stones?"
Luo Qianxue slowly descended from the air. Looking at the plainly dressed Ye Feng, she simply couldn't believe he could produce one hundred thousand low-grade Spirit Stones.
Swish!
A Space Ring appeared in Ye Feng's hand. Without answering, he directly handed the ring over.
It wasn't bound by Divine Sense.
Luo Qianxue quickly inspected the Space Ring. Inside, there was indeed a mountain of low-grade Spirit Stones, exactly one hundred thousand.
Crazy!
Luo Qianxue felt like she was truly going crazy at this moment. She never imagined such a
... ...
"Are you sure you want to join the sect?"
"Our sect currently doesn't even have a place to live."
How could Luo Qianxue really let Ye Feng join the sect? Helplessly, she could only start trying to dissuade him.
"Sect Master, don't panic! This disciple can spend money to hire people from the nearby towns to build our sect!"
Ye Feng revealed a smug expression, flaunting his wealth as he spoke directly.
Panic?
Panic your sister! I'll panic if you join the sect!
Luo Qianxue took a deep breath, patiently continuing her persuasion, "Our sect is completely broke . If you join, there won't be any cultivation resources at all. That would truly be detrimental to you."
"Sect Master, don't panic! Whatever cultivation resources are lacking, as long as they can be bought, this disciple will buy them for you!"
Ye Feng continued to answer with a calm expression, but confusion grew in his heart. He felt that this Sect Master, beautiful as a celestial fairy, didn't seem to want him to join the sect.
But that shouldn't be right. If she didn't want him to join, why was she recruiting disciples here?
"This... where did this madman come from? Do I need you to buy cultivation resources?"
"Can't you tell I just don't want you to join the sect?"
Hearing Ye Feng's reply, Luo Qianxue felt as if ten thousand divine beasts were stampeding through her heart, and she was about to collapse!
"Let me tell you clearly first. Even if you join the sect, I will not guide you onto the path of cultivation, nor will I give you any sect cultivation methods or Martial Skills. You can only rely on yourself."
Phew!
After saying this, Luo Qianxue finally felt a sense of relief. Having laid things out so plainly, she didn't believe he would still stubbornly insist on joining.
"Sect Master, don't panic! This disciple doesn't need the Sect Master's guidance, nor does he need sect cultivation methods or Martial Skills."
Ye Feng actually became somewhat excited at this point.
He only needed to be prodigal to become stronger; having someone guide him would actually make him uncomfortable. Besides, he only joined the Star Soul Sect to complete the mission. With no one managing him, he could be relaxed and at ease. Where else could he find such a good sect?
Honestly, Ye Feng had previously worried that after promising the sect so many benefits, they might place extreme importance on him, which would be troublesome.
Panic?
Panic your sister! Can you please stop making me panic!
Seeing the now-excited Ye Feng, Luo Qianxue completely lost it. Spending one hundred thousand low-grade Spirit Stones for nothing to join a sect, and not caring about anything, and you're actually happy about it?
Are you sure you weren't sent by the heavens to torment me?
If Elder Bai hadn't been present, Luo Qianxue probably couldn't have resisted slapping Ye Feng away. She didn't want disciples! She just wanted to cultivate quietly!
"Sect Master, you cannot continue to be so unreasonable. Since this child wishes to join the sect and has met the entry requirements, you cannot refuse him any longer."
At this moment, Elder Bai, who was standing aside, finally couldn't watch anymore. The young man had already conceded so much; how could she still try to drive him away? Even if he wanted to turn a blind eye, he couldn't remain silent any longer.
Phew!
Hearing Elder Bai's words, Luo Qianxue let out a deep breath, looked at the extremely excited Ye Feng, and said, "Fine. From now on, you are a disciple of my Star Soul Sect."
"Ding! Congratulations Host for completing the task. Reward: 100 Prodigal Points!"
"Ding! Congratulations Host for prodigally spending 100,000 low-grade Spirit Stones. The amount spent in this event was reasonable. Reward: 100 Prodigal Points."
As Luo Qianxue's voice fell, the system's notification tones sounded successively in Ye Feng's mind.
"Here it comes, here it comes! My Prodigal Points are swaggering over!"
Ye Feng was also excited now. He instantly had two hundred Prodigal Points. Although he wasn't clear on their specific uses yet—like how many points were needed to advance a minor realm, or how many points could draw a Divine Ability, etc.—at least he wasn't penniless anymore.
"System, are there any more prodigal tasks?"
"When there are no prodigal tasks, how should I be prodigal?"
After the excitement subsided, Ye Feng quickly asked the system.
"Ding! Host, please explore prodigal behavior on your own."
"Ding! Reminder: The amount of Spirit Stones, Spirit Crystals, etc., consumed prodigally is not directly linked to Prodigal Points. As long as it is a prodigal act, a certain amount of Prodigal Points can be obtained."
Hearing the system's reply, Ye Feng thought for a moment, then looked directly at Luo Qianxue and asked, "Sect Master, I should be the only disciple in the sect right now, right? Does that count as being your Direct Disciple?"
"It does not!"
"This Sect Master does not accept Direct Disciples."
Luo Qianxue felt irritated just looking at Ye Feng now. Because she had an agreement with her father, even though she had said those things earlier, she would still have to be responsible for Ye Feng's cultivation situation in the future.
But now he actually wanted to become her Direct Disciple? That was absolutely impossible.
"Sect Master, name your price. This disciple has money, absolutely no haggling!"
???
This time, even Elder Bai standing aside looked at Ye Feng strangely. Can one buy the status of a Direct Disciple with money?
"Interesting!"
Luo Qianxue looked at the earnest Ye Feng and actually smiled, saying directly, "Alright. One hundred thousand high-grade Spirit Stones. As long as you can produce them, this Sect Master will make an exception and accept you as a Direct Disciple."
"Gotcha!"
"Where's that confidence from just now?"
"One hundred thousand high-grade Spirit Stones? Even a third-rate sect might not be able to produce that many. Can a mere mortal like you take them out?"
Seeing Ye Feng frozen on the spot, Luo Qianxue finally revealed the smile of a victor. After being repeatedly gotten the better of by Ye Feng, she had finally gotten the better of him this time.
"That cheap?"
"Sect Master, here are five hundred thousand high-grade Spirit Stones. The remaining four hundred thousand count as this disciple's Disciple Initiation Gift to Master."
Ye Feng once again took out a Space Ring.
"Ding! Congratulations Host for the successful prodigal act. The amount spent was reasonable. Reward: 200 Prodigal Points."
See? Aren't the Prodigal Points rolling in again!
Ye Feng felt like he was born to be prodigal. Since he had already joined the sect, did the status of a Direct Disciple even matter?
Such an excellent opportunity to be prodigal absolutely had to be seized.
Releasing her Divine Sense, when Luo Qianxue saw the neat stacks totaling five hundred thousand high-grade Spirit Stones inside the Space Ring, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but twitch. She looked at Ye Feng as if looking at a monster.
This was five hundred thousand high-grade Spirit Stones! As long as you weren't afraid of being killed for your wealth, if you took these five hundred thousand high-grade Spirit Stones to any third-rate sect, their Sect Master would have to worship you like an ancestor.
