Qingyang Commandery had many large and small sects. It was only a few dozen years ago that they had formed an alliance, making the sixth-rate Vast Spirit Sectâs sect leader, Qin Haoran, the first generation alliance chief.
Their objective was harmonious development, to advance together.
Besides the high-tier sects, who could ignore things like alliances, every sect in Qingyang Commandery chose to join, pledging as a member.
Essentially, if a sect did not join the Hundred Sects Alliance, it would be ridiculed and shunned by the other sects.
When Sect Head Wang founded the Ironbone Unyielding Sect in the past, in order to raise the sectâs reputation, he gave presents and invited people for meals in order to mix into the alliance.
What a pity.
All of his efforts had been wasted today.
Because a lot of the allied sects publicly condemned Jun Changxiao for exterminating the Spirit Spring Sect.
Like Alliance Chief Qin, they were exceptionally angry.
Alliance Chief Qin had personally gone to Qingyang City to look for City Lord Xie, hoping that the lord wouldnât meddle in the allianceâs matters and punish the Ironbone Sect.
Although he had been turned down, he did not give up. Instead, he decided to use his status as alliance chief and meet with the Ironbone Sectâs sect head three days later.
Many of the other experts heard about the meeting and praised the alliance chief for being wise. They were willing to accompany him, planning to drown the fellow who did not know the immensity of heaven and earth with spittle.
When military force could not solve the problem, then mouthing off seemed especially important.
The two pieces of news spread together.
âSo it did alarm the Hundred Sects Alliance!â
âJun Changxiao brought big trouble this time, he has to give an explanation.â
âIn my opinion, Alliance Chief Qin fears the Holy Spring Sect retaliating against himself. He can only act first and punish the Ironbone Sect.â
âMany sect leaders indicated they would join the discussion, many big-shots are going to show up here in three days.â
âWhat discussion, itâs obviously an interrogation.â
âRight, right, an interrogation!â
Various martial artists were discussing. Some people anticipated how the Hundred Sects Alliance would create problems for Jun Changxiao.
âŠ
Ironbone Sect, Main Hall.
After returning, Jun Changxiao was leaning back on his chair, resting his chin in one hand. âThree days later, I fear that it will be a great sect banquet.â
âSect Head,â Li Qingyang quietly said. âDid you really exterminate the Spirit Spring Sect?â
âMhm,â hummed Jun Changxiao.
Li Qingyang seriously said, âThe Spirit Spring Sect is part of the Hundred Sects Alliance, Sect Head will definitely be held accountable.â
Jun Changxiao walked over and patted him on the shoulder. âIt is only you in the sect who thinks so much. Your character is quite steady, this Lord is satisfied.â
Li Qingyang was startled, a bad feeling in his gut.
Sure enough!
Jun Changxiao said, âThat Ye Xingchen is a little upstart. As the second disciple, you should strictly guide him. If he does something out of line, two words: oppress.â
He then patted the boy on the shoulder and naturally left.
Li Qingyang stood in the same place, counting with his finger. He was puzzled, âWas that two words?â
âŠ
Jun Changxiao returned to the inner courtyard, sitting cross-legged to absorb spirit power.
Hu! Hu!
The spirit power between heaven and earth was condensed, covering his body and forming a layer of clear energy.
It then flowed into his body through his powers, gathered in his meridians, guided into his dantian, and fused with the other developing cyclones of qi.
Each realm on Falling Star Continent had some special cultivation quirk â for Martial Apprentices, it was the formation of qi cyclones.
Do not look down on these things, as the energy was more pure, allowing the martial artist to be far stronger.
After Jun Changxiaoâs initial breakthrough, he had to continuously develop and grow the cyclones in order to break through his limits.
He cultivated the Tendon Altering Sutra for a while.
Unsatisfied, he shook his head. âThat is the limit of the spirit root. Depending on it to advance is too slow.â
The system said, [The host can consider refreshing the store, maybe you will find Aptitude Transformation Fluid and upgrade to mid-grade spirit root.]
âEn.â
Jun Changxiao refreshed the store.
[Ding!]
[Sect Contribution: 140/500.]
He had used four points these past two days to open the Qi Gathering Array and the Great Sect Protecting Array.
The first thing Jun Changxiao saw on the brand-new list was something called the âModified Boomboxâ.
He was very sensitive to the word âmodifiedâ and hastily clicked on the detailed description.
[Item: Modified Boombox
Description: An item that can broadcast music.
Effect: Can be used for disciplesâ morning exercise. After turning it on, a divine tune will play, which may influence mood.
Special Effect: Within 100 meters of the host, those that hear the divine tune may become brainwashed, unconsciously following the tune to dance.
Effectiveness: When turned on.
Limitations: The mentality disturbing effect can only be used against a martial artist once a month. Cultivation of the target cannot be too high or the target will be immune to brainwashing.
Price: 10 contribution points]
Jun Changxiao commented, âBrainwashing using divine tunes, sounds interesting.â
He minimized the description tab and looked at the other goods, which were all useless. He decisively bought the modified boombox.
After a ding-dong prompt, Jun Changxiao refreshed once more. His luck was good this time, finding the Aptitude Transformation Fluid. He clicked on the product and found that it was suitable for those of ordinary-grade spirit roots, but the price was 50 points.
Jun Changxiao grabbed the fluid, uncorked the bottle, and drank the contents without hesitation. It tasted a little like malt.
[Ding!]
[Host has used Aptitude Transformation Fluid x1, transforming spirit root aptitude!]
[Spirit root has transformed!]
[Host has successfully broken through to Sixth Stage Martial Apprentice!]
With the aptitude change, his cultivation was also promoted, though it only rose by one stage.
âŠ
After his spirit root became mid-grade, Sect Head Jun was more connected to the spirit power of heaven and earth. Based on one night of cultivation, he could tell the effects were great!
âNot bad, not bad.â
With a flick of his sleeve, he walked out of his room. Outside, the dawn air was still fresh.
As he walked to the outer court, he saw Xiao Zuiji walk out of the training room, squatting wearily on the steps and panting for breath.
âVery diligent,â Jun Changxiao praised.
The disciples got out of bed one after another, arriving on the field to conduct their routine cultivation session.
âHurry up.â
Li Qingyang also came, but behind him followed Ye Xingchen. This Night Emperor lowered his head, but his eyes glittered.
âWhatâs the matter?â asked Jun Changxiao.
Li Qingyang said, âSect Head, after Junior Brother Ye joined the sect, he never joined the morning exercise. I brought him this time.â
âHmph,â Ye Xingchen coldly snorted. I am a dignified Martial Emperor. Why would I exercise in the morning like you group of weak, ordinary people?
Jun Changxiao said, âXingchen, it seems you have not adapted to sect life.â
Snapâ
He snapped his fingers. âTo let your harmonize with the others, this Lord must adjust the atmosphere.â
âAtmosphere?â
The crowd was confused.
Pah!
Jun Changxiao placed the modified boombox on the field. âFrom now on, you will have wonderful music to accompany your morning exercise.â
Su Xiaomo walked over, looking at it from different angles. âSect Head, what is this?â
Jun Changxiao did not explain. He waited for the disciples to gather and then gently pressed play. The two speakers immediately blastedâ
Boom-tss, boom-tssâŠ
âHoly shit!â
Su Xiaomo had his ear pasted to the speakers. He was frightened by the sudden noise and fell over, tumbling down the steps.
Like a seaweed, seaweed, seaweed, seaweed~
Swaying with the waves ~
Seaweed, seaweed, seaweed, seaweed ~ [1]
The melody of this divine tune resounded through the Ironbone Sectâs training field.
âStupid,â whispered Ye Xingchen.
At this time, Jun Changxiao pointed at him with both hands, yelling, âCome on, dance!â
Ye Xingchenâs pupils contracted. Uncontrollably, his legs moved apart and his hands went up⊠He started to jump and dance along with the tune.
This dignified Martial Emperor was standing on the training field, joyfully dancing. Occasionally he would be forced into a one-armed freeze.
Watching him, the other disciples had splendid expressions.
Jun Changxiao then put his fingers to his mouth and whistled, removing his outermost robe. He shouted, âBabies, letâs get hyped!â
This thought filled the air, covering the disciples.
ThenâŠ
About a hundred disciples neatly lined up, jumping to the beat of the tune.
âSecond Senior Brother, I canât control my body!â
