Chapter 11: Recording Opportunity!

When he walked out of his residence, he saw that the sky was cloudless and the ground was dry.

It did not appear that a rainstorm had visited before.

Shen Ran was puzzled. I wonder what happened last night, with the storm and the sudden 100-fold richer spiritual energy.

“Hey! Brother, there was a rainstorm last night, how was your harvest?”

The red-faced Old Xu walked over from afar, showing his yellow teeth and looking extremely happy.

Before Shen Ran could speak, he continued, “Last night, blessings fell from the sky. I actually successfully broke through the realm that I hadn’t broken through in many years! From the fifth level of Qi Refinement to the sixth level of Qi Refinement! Hehe, If I’m able to drift along….. Ahem, ahem, I can live freely for a few more years. What about you?”

Was the rain last night blessings from the heavens?

Just in time. It helped a lot.

Faced with Old Xu’s question, Shen Ran smiled faintly. “My gains are not bad. I also managed to break through some realms.”

“Yes, yes.” Old Xu nodded repeatedly. “Those disciples who left the sect would probably be angered to death if they knew that they had missed such a huge opportunity. Hahaha. Let’s not talk about it anymore. Go and do your work first. I have to go and catch up on my sleep.”

After saying that, Old Xu, who had entered the room, said angrily, “Damn, what did you do last night? Did you tear down the house? Fortunately, my bed wasn’t affected. Sleep, sleep.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Old Xu’s thunderous snores sounded from inside the door again.

Thinking of the bed that had collapsed and the pit he had created, Shen Ran felt helpless.

However, it was a new day and, as a servant disciple, the most important thing for him was to receive his own servant mission as soon as possible.

He would repair the bed in his residence later that night.

Shen Ran went all the way to the servant quarters to receive the mission.

He specially chose a mission to guard the mountain gate and record the entry and exit of the disciples of the Empyrean Sword Sect.

Usually, most servant disciples were unwilling to accept this mission.

After all, although the other missions were a little tiring, they would have more time to cultivate if they could complete them earlier.

As for the mission to guard the mountain gate, they would have to stay at the mountain gate until night time.

However, Shen Ran was more than happy to accept this mission.

The mountain gate was the place with the highest traffic, where the disciples of the Empyrean Sword Sect came and went.

In a day, he would probably come into contact with thousands of disciples.

To others, this would be of no use at all.

But don’t forget, Shen Ran could check other people’s narratives!

After checking the narrative of that ordinary disciple yesterday, he spent 10 spirit stones to buy a supreme-grade Spirit Gathering Pill.

So, Shen Ran thought of a bright future where he could get his cultivation resources without paying much.

That was to snatch all the unexpected opportunities that originally belonged to others, without them knowing.

As expected.

In a day, Shen Ran recorded more than a thousand disciples of the Empyrean Sword Sect who had just entered the sect.

He secretly memorized the narratives of many of these disciples.

[This is an ordinary disciple of the Empyrean Sword Sect. His talent is ordinary. If nothing goes wrong, he will stay at the Empyrean Sword Sect and live an ordinary life. However, on May 13, 3074, he accidentally falls into the Ghost Cry Cliff in the Grand Myriad Mountains. At the bottom of the cliff, he accepts the ancient mighty Azure Supreme Thearch inheritance. From then on, he achieves amazing cultivation results and becomes a famous expert.]

[This is a core disciple of the Empyrean Sword Sect. His talent is ordinary, but he discovers a spiritual field that can grow high-grade spiritual herbs in a short period of time. From then on, he’s accepted as a final disciple by the sect elders. He doesn’t know that there is a 10,000-year-old Wood Spirit Marrow filled with spiritual energy under his spiritual field. By absorbing it, he can obtain a Wood Spirit Body.]

[This is an ordinary disciple of the Empyrean Sword Sect. His talent is not bad. If nothing goes wrong, he will become a core disciple of the Empyrean Sword Sect. On the ninth day of the first month of the year 3074, when he’s traveling at the foot of the mountain, he saves a beggar in Qingshan Town. That beggar is actually one of the experts in the world who likes to travel in the mortal world. The this disciple obtains the blessing of the expert and his cultivation talent permanently increases by three times. In the end, he becomes a strong competitor of the Empyrean Sword Sect’s Dao Seed.]

As soon as Shen Ran saw the narratives of these three people, he knew that as long as he obtained any one of the opportunities, he would benefit a lot.

Unfortunately, he could only obtain the first two of the three opportunities.

The third opportunity could only be obtained by leaving the Empyrean Sword Sect and heading to Qingshan Town at the foot of the mountain.

However, only ordinary disciples and core disciples could enter and get out of the gate at will.

If the servant disciples wanted to get out of the gate, it must be for some important matter. Otherwise, there was only one choice.

That was to withdraw from the Empyrean Sword Sect.

This troubled Shen Ran.

If he left the sect, he would obtain a blessing that could increase his cultivation talent.

However, this also meant that it would be very difficult for him to come into contact with the disciples of the cultivation sect in the future.

He had only come into contact with a thousand disciples today, but he had already obtained information of three top-notch opportunities.

There were still thousands of people left untouched.

Who knew if there would be more top-notch opportunities?

After consideration, Shen Ran decided to give up on the blessing opportunity at the foot of the mountain.

On the way back to the dormitory area of the servant disciples, Shen Ran looked at the narratives of the servant disciples beside him.

[This is a servant disciple of the Empyrean Sword Sect. If nothing goes wrong, he will live an ordinary life.]

[… Servant disciple… leading an ordinary life.]

[… Servant disciple… Nothing special…]

As expected, as a servant disciple, if he didn’t have the ability to modify narratives like Shen Ran, his future would not be great.

Shen Ran was disappointed and was about to look away when he was suddenly attracted by the narrative of one of the servant disciples.

[This is a servant disciple of the Empyrean Sword Sect. On the eighth day of the first month of the year 3074, when he’s fetching water in the back mountain, he accidentally saves the seriously injured Eighth Peak elder and becomes an ordinary disciple of the Eighth Peak of the Empyrean Sword Sect. Then he lives an ordinary life.]

Compared to the three disciples that Shen Ran had seen during the day, the future opportunities of this servant disciple were not worth mentioning.

However, Shen Ran wanted to break away from being a servant disciple to become an ordinary disciple!

“This servant disciple brother, thank you for bringing me this good news. Anyway, after you become an ordinary disciple, you’re still ordinary. Then, give me the opportunity.”

Shen Ran’s eyes lit up as he stared at the servant disciple’s ignorant back and silently thanked him.

When he returned to his residence, Old Xu was nowhere to be seen.

He was probably looking for someone to drink with.

However, to Shen Ran’s surprise, the bed that had collapsed last night was repaired.

This Old Xu seems to be playful, but I didn’t expect him to be so nice.

This was the first time he felt the kindness of others after being demoted to a servant disciple.

Shen Ran’s heart warmed.

Then Shen Ran did not cultivate as usual.

He was preparing to go out and retrieve the Azure Supreme Thearch Inheritance in the Grand Myriad Mountains.

At this moment, a beautiful figure with the unique fragrance of a young girl appeared at his door.
