Bringing The Farm To Live In Another World - Chapter 15999

Chapter 15997. Subordinates

Wu Lingfeng was aware of his situation. He had no powerful backing and would have to rely on the God of Wrath for his future cultivation. Therefore, he needed to find a place where he could remain calm and avoid attracting attention, while still ensuring a decent income. This was precisely why he was more interested in the cave dwelling, even though he heard

its location was rather remote. Wu Lingfeng and the female cultivator quickly arrived at the cave dwelling. While it was indeed a bit remote, it wasn’t far from the core area of the sect. The cave dwelling was located on a small mountain, which also had many spiritual fields. Moreover, there was a spring on the mountain, from which water flowed. This spring water gradually gathered into a pond where fish could be raised.

Inside the cave, there were indeed a few people observing. These were all ordinary cultivators at the Shi level, and quite old. The woman said to Wu Lingfeng, “They are all disciples of the sect, but because they are old, they don’t want to do any other work anymore, so we sent them here to manage these businesses. They’ve been doing this for quite a few years now, so they’re quite skilled. Senior brother, if you want to use these people in the future, you can continue to use them. If you don’t want to use them anymore, you can replace them.”

Wu Lingfeng nodded. He was quite satisfied with the cave. He turned to the female cultivator and said, “I’m very satisfied with this place. Let’s go back and complete the formalities.”

The female cultivator nodded and led Wu Lingfeng back to the core disciple service area. After completing the formalities, Wu Lingfeng received an array plate. This array plate could manipulate the magic array in the cave. The cave did have a magic array, and it was a pretty good one.

Wu Lingfeng was quite satisfied with this. He then returned directly to the cave dwelling. Upon arriving, he carefully observed it, becoming increasingly pleased. Besides his resting place, the cave had dozens of rooms of varying sizes, seemingly prepared for his subordinates. This was indeed quite impressive.

After a moment’s thought, Wu Lingfeng took to the air and flew to the Weapon Forging Hall. He didn’t want to waste this opportunity to have a magic weapon custom-made for him by the sect for free.

At the Weapon Forging Hall, he presented his identity token and explained his situation. The staff immediately became enthusiastic, specially inviting a highly skilled elder to custom-make a flying sword for Wu Lingfeng. Wu Lingfeng told the elder that the flying sword must be made of top-quality materials, so he could use it if he upgraded it later.

After hearing Wu Lingfeng’s words, the elder readily agreed. In his view, these core disciples all said the same thing, and they were already used to it. Moreover, many of these core disciples had indeed become powerful elders in the sect, and they dared not offend them.

After the magic weapon was customized, Wu Lingfeng went to the sect’s scripture pavilion. Of course, this time he came to the scripture pavilion of the core disciples, where there were many more cultivation techniques than in the inner and outer sect scripture pavilions.

Wu Lingfeng came this time specifically to exchange for a cultivation technique. He had long coveted a certain technique in the sect called the Clear Wind Sword Scripture. This technique was a sword cultivation technique, and Wu Lingfeng believed he had some talent in swordsmanship, so he had long wanted to cultivate this technique. However, he had not been qualified to cultivate this technique before, but now he was.

The process of exchanging cultivation techniques went very smoothly. No sect elder would make things difficult for a core disciple, as a core disciple could potentially become a powerful elder in the future, and offending him would bring no benefit.

After exchanging the techniques, Wu Lingfeng glanced at the sky; he only had one last thing left to do: see Huo Lei and the others. Wu Lingfeng immediately flew towards the outer disciple area, heading straight to area number three, where he arranged for Huo Lei and the others to stay.

Upon arriving, Wu Lingfeng went directly to find Huo Lei. Reaching Huo Lei’s room, he knocked on the door. Huo Lei’s voice came from inside: “Who is it?” His tone held a hint of wariness.

Wu Lingfeng said, “Brother Huo, it’s me.”

Huo Lei immediately recognized Wu Lingfeng’s voice and opened the door. As soon as the door opened, he looked at Wu Lingfeng and said, “Senior Brother Wu, what brings you here? Please come in.” He then ushered Wu Lingfeng into the room.

Once inside the room, Wu Lingfeng smiled and said, “It’s alright. I’ve been busy these past few days, and I finally finished so I came to see you all. How have you been?”

Huo Lei gave a wry smile and said, “I’ve been doing quite well, but suddenly having so much free time has really made me feel a bit uncomfortable. But to be honest, life is much better than before.”

Wu Lingfeng smiled and said, “You’ll get used to it. I came to see you today because there’s something I need to tell you. I’ve now become a core disciple of the sect, and according to the sect’s rules, I can take on some subordinates, no more than fifty. So I thought of you all. If you’re willing to become my subordinates, although I can’t give you extra spirit stones every month, I can help you cultivate to the upper level.” “I’ll give you a little pointer, and I can also teach you some sect techniques, so you won’t have to worry about techniques anymore. So, I just want to ask you, are you willing to become my subordinates?”

Upon hearing Wu Lingfeng’s words, Huo Lei immediately shouted, “Yes, we are!” Huo Lei knew very well that to become a core disciple of a sect, one’s strength had to reach the Royal Palace level, and such a person held a very high position within the sect. Becoming someone like that would be a huge advantage for them; it would be like a meteoric rise. If Wu Lingfeng became a powerful elder in the sect in the future, they would also be assigned good positions—a tremendous opportunity! So, he agreed without hesitation.

Wu Lingfeng smiled and said, “Well then, it’s getting late. Don’t come with me yet. Contact the others and tell them about this situation. Then, I’ll come find you tomorrow morning, and you can come with me to my cave.” Huo Lei immediately responded, appearing very excited.

Seeing his expression, Wu Lingfeng couldn’t help but smile slightly. He then stood up, turned, and left. Huo Lei escorted Wu Lingfeng to the door before going to find Li Tong and the others. He wanted to tell them the good news as soon as possible.

Meanwhile, Wu Changling also received news that Wu Lingfeng had become a core disciple. He had been keeping a close eye on Wu Lingfeng’s movements and was quite surprised to learn that Wu Lingfeng had returned alive and had even performed meritorious service. Therefore, he wanted to see what Wu Lingfeng had been doing these past few days. If given the opportunity, he planned to scheme against Wu Lingfeng again; this time, he was determined to kill him.

He received this news, which greatly surprised him. He truly hadn’t expected Wu Lingfeng to become a Royal Palace-level expert in such a short time and smoothly become a core disciple of the sect. Upon receiving this news, Wu Changling’s heart sank. He knew very well that he would never have another chance to deal with Wu Lingfeng. Wu Lingfeng had become a core disciple, and dealing with an inner disciple was completely different from dealing with a core disciple. If he dared to deal with Wu Lingfeng again, his own status would be in jeopardy.

After receiving this news, Wu Changling did one thing immediately: he wrote to Wu Changfeng, asking him to come to his courtyard right away. He decided to take Wu Changfeng as his subordinate and have him stay in his courtyard. He was worried that if Wu Lingfeng remained in the outer sect, Wu Lingfeng would retaliate against him.

Wu Changling did have subordinates, but only a dozen or so. These people mostly served him, and he hadn’t trained them. This was why he hadn’t made Wu Changfeng his subordinate. In fact, many core disciples had such subordinates—essentially free laborers. They hadn’t considered training them into powerful experts; they knew it was too slow. If these subordinates were trained and became core disciples themselves, they wouldn’t be able to work for him anymore, and might even become his competitors. So, naturally, they wouldn’t bother training them.

But now, things were different. He had to make Wu Changfeng his subordinate, otherwise, if Wu Lingfeng retaliated, Wu Changfeng would be finished. He remembered Wu Lingfeng’s last act of revenge; Wu Changfeng’s face was bruised for days before it healed, showing how brutal Wu Lingfeng’s attack was.

When Wu Changfeng arrived at Wu Changling’s courtyard, his face turned pale with fright after hearing Wu Changling’s words. Wu Lingfeng’s revenge last time still terrified him. Now that Wu Lingfeng had become a core disciple, even Wu Changling couldn’t touch him anymore. If Wu Lingfeng really retaliated, he would be finished. He now deeply regretted ever provoking Wu Lingfeng. He had only thought Wu Lingfeng was an ordinary outer sect manager, and he could bully him if he wanted. Who could have imagined that Wu Lingfeng would one day become a core disciple? Given Wu Lingfeng’s strength and age back then, there was absolutely no way he could have ever turned his life around. But now, this nobody had turned his life around and become a core disciple, someone he couldn’t possibly be worthy of. If it weren’t for Wu Changling, he probably wouldn’t even know how he died.

But it was too late for regrets now. Wu Changfeng gritted his teeth and began to cultivate desperately. He knew very well that only when he reached the level of a core disciple would he no longer have to worry about Wu Lingfeng’s revenge. So, he wanted to improve his strength as quickly as possible. However, he also thought of something: why was Wu Lingfeng’s strength improving so quickly? It was too abnormal.

Upon thinking of this, Wu Changfeng’s eyes lit up. He immediately told Wu Changling about it. After hearing Wu Changfeng’s words, Wu Changling’s eyes also lit up, and he murmured, “That’s right, why is his strength improving so quickly? This is too abnormal.”
