Cultivate All You Want, Just Don't Ruin the Immortal World!

Chapter 9 – Beat up Tang Aotian

Tang Aotian stepped out from the crowd, looking at Qin Yu with disdain.

"Commoner, thank you for giving me this opportunity."

Qin Yu appeared thin and frail, like a gust of wind could knock him over. He often didn't have enough to eat, let alone practice martial arts.

But Tang Aotian was different. To lay a solid foundation for cultivation, he had a professional martial arts teacher and practiced martial arts for a quarter of an hour every day.

His combat prowess was quite formidable.

He could take on ten Qin Yus at once!

Qin Yu couldn't be bothered with him and directly looked at the Second Elder, "Can we start now?"

He had been itching to fight for a long time.

When Tang Aotian cut in line earlier, Qin Yu had wanted to beat him up.

But the conditions at the time didn't allow it, so he had to let it go.

He thought he could wait until they entered the sect to settle the score, but unexpectedly, Tang Aotian was eliminated.

Just when Qin Yu thought he'd never get the chance to beat him up, Tang Aotian stepped forward, creating a perfect opportunity for Qin Yu.

Qin Yu had seen many who didn't want to get beaten, but it was the first time he'd seen someone actively seeking a beating.

His knuckles cracked, and his fists, as big as a normal person's, were eager for action.

The Second Elder nodded, "Begin!"

'Hit him hard!' the Second Elder thought to himself.

With the command given, Qin Yu walked straight towards Tang Aotian.

Tang Aotian assumed a professional stance, his body swaying from side to side.

"Idiot!"

Qin Yu walked over and threw a handful of dirt into Tang Aotian's face.

"Despicable, my eyes!"

Tang Aotian closed his eyes, and before he could rub them, Qin Yu's fist landed squarely on his face.

Bang~

With a dull thud, Tang Aotian fell to the ground.

Qin Yu pinned Tang Aotian down, raining punches on his face.

Bang~

Ah~

Bang bang~

Ah ah~

Bang bang bang~

Ah ah ah~

The sound of fists landing and Tang Aotian's screams echoed together.

In no time, Tang Aotian's face was swollen, his head bleeding, and his screams turned to whimpers. His legs kicked continuously, driven either by an unyielding spirit or spasms from the pain.

"That's for cutting in line!"

Bang~

"That's for calling me a commoner!"

Bang~

"So what if you have a High-Grade Spiritual Root? My Low-Grade Spiritual Root has nothing to do with you. Did I eat your family's rice?"

Bang bang~

Qin Yu was panting, but his fists fell like a torrential rain.

The onlookers watched with twitching eyelids, their hearts pounding. Some timid ones closed their eyes, unable to watch.

No one expected Qin Yu to be so ruthless.

Living alone in a strange town, if he wasn't a bit ruthless, Qin Yu would have been bullied to death by the local thugs.

But in town fights, Qin Yu would throw chili powder into the thugs' eyes.

This time, he only used dirt, which was already merciful.

After all, Qin Yu didn't know how powerful Tang Aotian's backing was and couldn't afford to offend him too much.

The old servant following Tang Aotian saw his young master rolling his eyes from the beating, but the Second Elder turned a blind eye, showing no intention of stopping Qin Yu.

The old servant couldn't care less about the Second Elder's authority and rushed over, stumbling and crawling.

"Please, spare him, young friend, we admit defeat!"

"Who are you?"

"I am Tang Aotian's old servant. Please, young friend, show mercy!"

The old servant then bowed to the Second Elder, "My young master is too young to understand manners and offended the immortal. I apologize on his behalf to the Xuantian Sect. I hope the sect will spare his life for the sake of our family's long-standing friendship."

The Second Elder snorted coldly, "Are you from the Tang family in the capital?"

"Indeed!"

"If not for Chancellor Tang's sake, Tang Aotian would have to pay for his words today!"

The Second Elder looked at the crowd, and everyone lowered their heads, not daring to meet his gaze.

"For this challenge, Tang Aotian is defeated and shall never step into our sect again. If he does, he will be executed!

If anyone else wishes to challenge, step forward!"

The young men and women, having seen Tang Aotian's miserable state, were too frightened to step forward.

Qin Yu kicked the half-dead Tang Aotian and dusted off his clothes.

'That felt great! Truly satisfying!'

"Thank you, immortal, for sparing his life!" The old servant quickly expressed his gratitude.

The Second Elder replied coldly, "I will certainly ask Chancellor Tang how to resolve today's matter!"

"I will inform the master!"

"Leave!"

The Second Elder led Qin Yu and the others into the Xuantian Sect's mountain gate.

"What's your name, boy?"

Qin Yu replied, "Junior Qin Yu!"

"Qin Yu, I'll remember you. You did well today. This flying sword is your reward!"

The Second Elder took a flying sword from his storage artifact and handed it to Qin Yu.

Qin Yu quickly thanked him.

The Second Elder patted Qin Yu's shoulder and earnestly advised, "Once you're in the sect, focus on cultivation and avoid... those filthy tricks!"

Qin Yu: "???"

The Second Elder turned into a wisp of green smoke and disappeared.

After the Second Elder left, the sect's steward arranged for everyone.

They were lined up according to their spiritual roots: Low-Grade Spiritual Root became sect servants, Mid-Grade and High-Grade Spiritual Root became Outer Sect Disciples, and Supreme Spiritual Root became Inner Sect Disciples.

In Qin Yu's cohort, there were only five with Supreme Spiritual Root, and not many with High-Grade Spiritual Root. Most were Mid-Grade and Low-Grade Spiritual Root.

After sorting into groups, Qin Yu and the others followed a middle-aged man named Zhong Wende.

"I am the steward for our sect servants. You can call me Uncle Zhong or Uncle Wende.

Like you, I have a Low-Grade Spiritual Root and have been a sect servant at Xuantian Sect for over fifty years. Due to my diligence, I've managed to become a steward.

There's not much difference between sect servants and Outer Sect Disciples, except we do more work and earn less. It's unavoidable since our talent is lacking!"

But don't lose heart. As long as sect servants meet the sect's conditions, they can become Outer Sect Disciples."

Qin Yu's eyes lit up, "Uncle Wende, how can we become Outer Sect Disciples?"

"Quite ambitious!" Zhong Wende chuckled, "You just need to challenge and defeat an Outer Sect Disciple to be promoted, while the defeated disciple will be demoted to a sect servant."

"Can I challenge someone now?"

Qin Yu was eager to try.

With the current situation, he could fight his way to the Inner Sect.

"Of course not!" Zhong Wende immediately quashed Qin Yu's idea.

"You must wait at least six months, until everyone has practiced some techniques, before you can challenge. Moreover, you can only challenge disciples from your own cohort."

Someone immediately complained, "That's too hard! The gap between Mid-Grade and Low-Grade Spiritual Roots is huge. After some cultivation, how can we possibly beat them?"

Qin Yu sneered inwardly.

'Indeed, the weak only complain about their environment, while the strong have already learned to use the system to cheat!'

"There is a certain difficulty!" Zhong Wende smiled wryly, "Otherwise, I wouldn't still be a sect servant. But even if you can't succeed, after ten years, you can leave Xuantian Sect. We would still be cultivators, whether we roam the martial world or join a small family as a guest disciple.

So, cherish this opportunity, cultivate well, and remember not to violate the sect rules."

As Zhong Wende walked and talked, he explained the Xuantian Sect's important matters to everyone.

Meanwhile!

Outside the sect, after taking healing pills, Tang Aotian slowly woke up, crying in the old servant's arms.

"Today was a terrible day for me!

First, I drank a disgustingly sweet tofu pudding in the morning, got kicked out for cutting in line during the first test, the second test I prepared for was inexplicably canceled, I still don't know why I was eliminated in the third test, and finally, I was beaten in front of everyone. It's so humiliating!

I feel like someone is targeting me, boo hoo hoo..."

The old servant quickly comforted him, "Young master, it's Xuantian Sect's loss for not accepting you. We can go to other sects; Xuantian Sect isn't the only one under the sky."
