Bringing The Farm To Live In Another World - Chapter 15946
Chapter 15944. Upgrade (Part 3)
Ran Wen was unaware of what these people were thinking. He was truly in high spirits. He knew all too well what becoming a Shi-level cultivator meant: it meant he had truly become a disciple of the Seven Emotions Sword Sect.
He was clearly an outer disciple of the Seven Emotions Sword Sect, so why did he say he had only truly become a disciple now? Actually, their previous status as disciples of the Seven Emotions Sword Sect was somewhat inflated. They hadn’t yet reached the Shi-level, so although they were nominally disciples of the Seven Emotions Sword Sect, they were actually only peripheral disciples, not true outer disciples, even though they lived in the outer area of the Seven Emotions Sword Sect.
Many people might have a misconception that as long as someone lives on the Seven Emotions Sword Sect continent, they are an outer disciple of the Seven Emotions Sword Sect from the moment they are born. They aren’t entirely wrong; nominally, they are all indeed peripheral disciples of the Seven Emotions Sword Sect. However, in the eyes of the Seven Emotions Sword Sect, they are just ordinary people and cannot be considered outer disciples.
Every year, the Seven Emotions Sword Sect conducts a screening of all eligible children across the continent. If a talented child is discovered, they are brought back to the outer sect of the Seven Emotions Sword Sect for training. These children are nominally outer disciples, but everyone in the Seven Emotions Sword Sect knows that they are actually the true outer disciples. They can only become true outer disciples if they cultivate to the “Shi” level before the age of twenty-five. If they cannot cultivate to the “Shi” level before the age of twenty-five, then they are no longer considered outer disciples and are assigned to some branch halls of the Seven Emotions Sword Sect to manage ordinary people. Because they have been trained by the Seven Emotions Sword Sect for so many years, their strength is much stronger than that of ordinary people. Moreover, there are many people on the Seven Emotions Sword Sect continent, making them perfect for managing ordinary people. Those who do not reach the “Shi” level by the age of twenty-five may never reach it in their lifetime, so their lifespan will not be very long. It is precisely for this reason that the Seven Emotions Sword Sect does not have too many managers.
Before the age of twenty-five, cultivators who reach the “Power Level” can become formal outer disciples of the Seven Emotions Sword Sect. This allows them more time to cultivate within the sect. If they reach the “Throne Level” before forty, they become inner disciples. Naturally, the earlier they reach this level, the better the benefits the sect provides.
Other sects operate similarly, gathering talented children for intensive training, while those without talent are given a cultivation technique and left to their own devices. If someone manages to reach the “Power Level” using that technique, they are absorbed into the sect as outer disciples, becoming cannon fodder. Almost all sects operate this way.
In the cultivation world, except for the Blood Slaughter Sect, no sect has the resources to nurture everyone, making this method the best option.
Ran Wen is twenty-two years old today. He’s not young anymore, and originally he had little chance of becoming a formal outer disciple of the Seven Emotions Sword Sect. However, thanks to the blessing of the God of Gluttony, he became a formal outer disciple, which naturally made him very happy.
Moreover, Ran Wen is very clear that he will definitely become an inner disciple of the Seven Emotions Sword Sect in the future. As long as he has the blessing of the God of Gluttony, he can keep leveling up, and he believes that sooner or later he will reach the peak.
Flying is much faster than walking through the forest, and he quickly returned to the main hall of the Seven Emotions Sword Sect. Upon arriving at the main hall, Ran Wen landed outside, put away his flying sword, and then walked into the main hall. There were too many cultivators like him, so no one gave him a second glance.
Ran Wen quickly arrived at the outer sect disciple management office and went straight upstairs to re-register his strength. The disciple registering him looked at Ran Wen with disbelief that he had actually become a Qi-level cultivator. Ran Wen’s name was widely known in the outer sect of the Seven Emotions Sword Sect; everyone knew he was just Ge Wei’s toy, but no one expected that this toy would one day become a Qi-level cultivator.
Regardless of his thoughts, Ran Wen was now indeed a Qi-level cultivator, and thus eligible for the outer sect disciple’s benefits. Ran Wen was assigned a separate courtyard, and his monthly allowance was significantly increased. Ran Wen was very satisfied with this and immediately moved to his new courtyard.
This news quickly reached Ge Wei’s ears. Ge Wei could hardly believe what he was hearing. After hearing the details, his expression changed drastically. Ge Wei finally realized that Ran Wen was no longer someone he could bully easily. He also understood that if Ran Wen advanced further, not only him, but even his brother would be helpless against him. He felt a sense of urgency; he had to eliminate Ran Wen before he grew stronger.
Thinking of this, Ge Wei immediately left his room and went directly to the inner sect of the Seven Emotions Sword Sect. He had to tell his brother about this and have him take action to eliminate Ran Wen in one fell swoop. Ran Wen could no longer be allowed to live; keeping him alive was a threat to the brothers.
Meanwhile, Ran Wen was sitting in his room, contemplating his future path—whether to seek revenge on the outer sect disciples? For so many years, those people have helped Ge Wei bully him. Now that he has the strength, he can take revenge on them. This was Ran Wen’s first thought, but he quickly suppressed it. It wasn’t that he didn’t want revenge, but now was not the time. Who was his biggest enemy? Of course, it was Ge Wei. And behind Ge Wei stood Ge Ying, an inner disciple. In other words, although he was now a cultivator at the Shi level, he was not safe. With Ge Ying, an inner disciple, around, he would not be safe.
Upon realizing this, Ran Wen immediately understood that he was still in great danger, even more so than before. Before, when he lacked strength, Ge Wei wouldn’t have gone all out against him. But now that he was a cultivator at the Shi level, Ge Wei couldn’t do anything to him anymore. However, their feud was still there. Even if he didn’t want to deal with Ge Wei, Ge Wei probably wouldn’t let him go. Their enmity was too great to be resolved. Even if he wanted to resolve it, Ge Wei wouldn’t believe him. Therefore, Ge Wei would definitely try to deal with him, and the best way was to ask Ge Ying for help. Ge Ying, an inner disciple, could easily deal with him.
Ran Wen took a deep breath. He felt the urgency; he couldn’t stay here any longer. He had to leave. Thinking this, Ran Wen stood up and went outside. He quickly left his courtyard and went straight to the market. There, he bought some talismans, spent all his spirit stones, and then left the Seven Emotions Sword Sect’s main hall, plunging into the Seven Emotions Forest.
For Ran Wen, the Seven Emotions Forest was the perfect place. There, he could kill and eat demonic beasts, and incidentally improve his strength. He was already prepared to return to the main hall once he became a Throne-level cultivator. Until he reached the Throne level, he would stay in the Seven Emotions Forest.
Not long after Ran Wen entered the Seven Emotions Forest, Ge Wei returned to the outer sect. He had already told Ge Ying about the situation. Ge Ying was indeed preparing to deal with Ran Wen, so he sent Ge Wei back to the outer sect to gather information about Ran Wen. Only by knowing Ran Wen’s exact whereabouts could he deal with him in one fell swoop. Ge Ying and Ge Wei
shared the same idea: they absolutely could not allow Ran Wen to grow stronger. Once Ran Wen grew stronger, neither of them, the two brothers, would have an easy time. Therefore, they had to eliminate Ran Wen.
Unfortunately, Ge Wei was a step too late. When Ge Wei returned to the outer sect to inquire about Ran Wen, he finally heard that Ran Wen had once again left the Seven Emotions Sword Sect and entered the Seven Emotions Forest again.
Upon hearing this news, Ge Wei felt a headache coming on. The Seven Emotions Forest was vast, and finding someone there was like searching for a needle in a haystack. Ran Wen had entered the Seven Emotions Forest, so there was no way to find him now.
However, he quickly thought that Ran Wen would definitely return. He could deal with him after he came back from the Seven Emotions Forest, so he immediately wrote to Ge Ying, informing him of Ran Wen’s presence.
Ge Ying was also helpless. Although he had some influence within the inner sect, searching for someone in the Seven Emotions Forest was still unlikely; it was simply too vast. Therefore, he had to give up.
He shared Ge Wei’s thoughts; Ran Wen couldn’t possibly hide in the Seven Emotions Forest forever, could he? Once he returned, he would find an opportunity to deal with Ran Wen directly.
Meanwhile, Ran Wen was engaged in arduous cultivation in the Seven Emotions Forest, but his cultivation was different from others. He specifically hunted and devoured demonic beasts, and his strength grew stronger with each hunt.
His speed of improvement far exceeded everyone’s expectations, because none of them knew about the blessing of the God of Gluttony. Therefore, Ran Wen’s strength advancement was also far beyond what others had imagined. For the next three months, Ran Wen hunted demonic beasts in the Seven Emotions Forest. He was like a giant locust; wherever he went, whether wild beast or demonic beast, once he spotted them, they were doomed.
He also carried some talismans and had even learned some simple spells, so he would rest for a period each day. During his rest, he would directly burrow underground, build a small space there, and rest. Once he was rested enough, he would emerge and continue hunting demonic beasts. In this way, three months passed by unnoticed.
That day, Ran Wen was slowly walking forward in the forest. He didn’t fly in the sky, although flying would be faster, but it would also make him more easily spotted. Don’t forget, he now has a great enemy. Once this enemy finds out his whereabouts, he might be in danger. So he didn’t fly and kept moving forward on the ground. However, today he saw several wild beasts and monsters, but he didn’t attack them because he was leveling up again.
