The Fourth Calamity: My Sect Has Countless Prodigies

Chapter 81 Large-scale construction to rebuild the sect!

"I never expected these two features to come out; it's truly a godsend!"

After reading the explanations of the two new functions, Zhou Yi was overjoyed.

Anchor points are new respawn points for players that can be created by consuming luck points.

The specific amount of luck value consumed depends on the size of the anchor point and the maximum number of players that can be accommodated.

This also means that with anchor points, Zhouyi can better manage and control other areas through players.

He was initially worried about how to deal with the Black Tiger Gang, but now that he has an anchor point, things will be much simpler.

As for the other NPC binding, there's even more to it.

With that thought in mind, Zhou Yi switched Su Qianyue's identity.

[Detected that the loyalty value of the character "Su Qianyue" has reached 90, exceeding the system's requirement of 80 loyalty points]

[Can be bound to a sect-exclusive NPC by consuming 10 points of Luck Value]

"Binding".

With a thought from Zhou Yi, a thin golden thread emerged from his palm and silently entered Su Qianyue's body.

Immediately afterwards, Su Qianyue's character panel popped up in front of Zhou Yi.

[Character: Su Qianyue]

[Identity: Disciple of the sect, and the sole employee of the sect's contribution shop]

[Qualifications: Four elemental roots: Metal, Fire, Earth, and Wood]

[Cultivation Level: Qi Refining Level 2 (Currently, it can be upgraded by consuming 10 points of Qi Luck after stacking previous cultivation progress)]

Loyalty Level: 90

[Comment: A hardworking store manager who thinks about how to improve performance every day]

Seeing this evaluation, Zhou Yi felt much better.

Since Su Qianyue helped him sell equipment and supplies, he has felt much more relaxed.

I never expected this little girl to be thinking about how to improve her performance; that's truly admirable.

We absolutely have to add a chicken leg.

"Brother Zhou Yi, what brings you here today?"

Su Qianyue raised her little head and looked at Zhou Yi with her big eyes.

Zhou Yi smiled and said, "It's nothing, I just wanted to see how your cultivation progress is."

"But it seems you're close to breaking through too, maybe in the next day or two."

Upon hearing this, a hint of joy flashed in Su Qianyue's eyes, and she excitedly exclaimed, "Is that so? That's wonderful!"

But not long after, his expression darkened considerably.

After all this time, her father still hadn't returned, so she couldn't help feeling uneasy.

Looking at the girl with a worried expression, Zhou Yi naturally knew what she was thinking.

If it weren't for the fact that bringing Su Yun back now would easily arouse the suspicion of the other members of the Black Tiger Gang, leading to the plan being exposed.

He brought it back long ago.

However, before leaving, he made a special trip to the back mountain to meet with Su Yun and explain the reason.

At the same time, he instructed Da Baojian to step in and make his life a little easier, so there was no need to worry too much.

Looking at Su Qianyue, who was clenching her little fists and pretending to be determined, Zhou Yi comforted her, "Little Qianyue, don't worry too much. I just met with Uncle Su Yun a few days ago. He said he's still very busy and will probably be back in about half a month."

Su Qianyue looked up at Zhou Yi, her eyes glistening with tears, misty as if she were a wet little deer.

Is that really the case?

She spoke timidly, her voice becoming somewhat soft and delicate.

Zhou Yi patted her head and nodded with a smile, "Of course, when have I ever lied to you?"

"Yes, yes! I believe you."

……

The setting sun hangs high in the sky, casting its last rays.

Within the spirit field.

The first breeze of winter caresses the newly sprouted buds, making them sway gracefully.

Zhou Yi stood in the center and addressed the forty-odd players who had just arrived:

"During this period of time, you have taken the initiative to hunt down demonic beasts and helped the sect clean up the internal ruins. You are all outstanding disciples and outstanding talents of my Qingxuan Sect."

As soon as he finished speaking, the players erupted in excitement.

"Heavens! The sect leader says I am a prodigy."

"Am I dreaming? I'm just an ordinary player, and I'm being called a prodigy?"

"Waaaaah, I'm so touched! I want to dedicate everything I have to the Qingxuan Sect."

"Really?"

"Except for buttocks..."

Hearing this, Zhou Yi was speechless for a moment, and quickly reached out to suppress the players' excitement.

"Ahem, everyone, calm down."

"Now that the demonic beasts within the sect have been cleared out, it can be considered that we, the disciples of Qingxuan Sect, have taken the first step."

"Although it is often said that everything is difficult at the beginning, this does not mean that you can slack off in your cultivation and indulge in pleasure in the future."

Upon hearing this, a sense of tension secretly arose in the players' hearts.

It seems the sect has gained another rule from now on.

Zhou Yi paused, his tone becoming serious, and continued:

"In today's cultivation world, every step is more difficult than the last. This applies to individual cultivation as well as the development of sects."

"Even if you are all made of gold, in this world of cultivation, it is magnificent and resplendent."

"There are countless geniuses, but even the most outstanding individuals face immense difficulties. Only by being down-to-earth and persevering can one attain immortality and help the sect rise to prominence."

"Do you all understand?"

"Reporting to the Sect Master, this disciple understands!"

At this moment, the players present were already excited by Zhou Yi's immersive performance, nodding and responding loudly with great enthusiasm.

Zhou Yi nodded in satisfaction and announced the next steps: "Now that the demonic beasts within the sect have been eliminated, it's time to put the reconstruction of the sect on the agenda."

As soon as he finished speaking, a new sect mission popped up on the players' player panels.

Main Quest: Rebuild the Sect

[Task Requirements: Clear the ruins, debris, and garbage within the sect; plan roads; and construct new disciple dormitories, a law enforcement hall, and a power transmission hall, etc.]

[Task Reward: A total of 1000 Sect Contribution Points; those who perform exceptionally well will receive additional rewards.]

[Bonus Rewards: The top three will receive a mid-grade Tier 1 magic weapon, and the top ten will receive a low-grade Tier 1 magic weapon]

[Task deadline: Complete within 10 days]

Then, Zhou Yi continued, "The reconstruction task is a major undertaking and requires a person in charge."

"Any disciple who has had similar experience in the mortal realm can volunteer now and will receive an extra special reward."

Upon hearing this, the players exchanged bewildered glances.

Seeing this, Zhou Yi couldn't help but get anxious. He didn't know if any of his players were experts in civil engineering.

In terms of construction, the difference in efficiency is quite significant whether or not there are professional people leading the way.

Fortunately, a little while later, a young player walked up to him.

"Reporting to the Sect Master, your disciple, Mr. Wang, from AAA Building Materials Wholesale, previously worked in civil engineering in the mortal realm and is capable of handling this job."

Mr. Wang, the general manager of AAA building materials wholesale, what a great name! You're the one!

Zhou Yi looked at the young player with satisfaction and nodded, saying, "Not bad. Then you will lead the players in the construction."

"These are the 'Art of Object Manipulation' and the 'Art of Earth Movement,' which can be used to build up your sect," Zhou Yi said, handing over the two manuals. "As for the specific materials, they've already been stockpiled at the Spirit Field. You can arrange them as you see fit."

The establishment of the sect was arranged quickly.

Due to the time limit, the players did not linger and soon headed to the raw material storage area under the leadership of Mr. Wang, the building materials manager.

As Zhou Yi watched the departing players, a hint of satisfaction appeared on his face.

He owes his success today largely to his little players.

"However, we cannot afford to be complacent right now; we must find an opportunity to locate the defensive formation."

The Book of Changes does not put all its eggs in one basket.

To deal with the spring beast tide, he not only needs to improve the players' strength and build sects, but also, to ensure absolute safety, find a large-scale defensive formation capable of resisting the monsters.

Unfortunately, the art of array formations is one of the most difficult skills to pass down among the various arts of cultivation. Very few people can learn it, and even fewer can master it and build a great array.

Even the three major families might not have it.

Therefore, finding such a formation is a considerable challenge for the current practitioners of the I Ching.

"Forget it, we'll deal with whatever comes our way."

Zhou Yi took a deep breath.

He didn't use the formation as a last resort, but only as a precaution.

It would be best if we could find it, but it's okay if we can't.

Improving the overall strength of players is also a good option.
