Bringing The Farm To Live In Another World - Chapter 16009

Chapter 16007: Change

“Someone is jealous of you. What reward do you want?”

The next morning, while Yang Qingyu was cultivating, he heard these words. These words were completely different from anything he had heard before, which surprised Yang Qingyu greatly. He immediately tried to recall what was going on. After slowly analyzing it, Yang Qingyu still didn’t understand, but one thing was certain: someone was jealous of him. That meant someone was extremely jealous of him after learning he had become a Qi-level expert. This meant the scope was vast; countless people were jealous of him becoming a Qi-level cultivator.

But regardless, he remembered that incurring others’ jealousy would bring rewards, so Yang Qingyu became excited. When he received his reward and began cultivating, he found that his strength had improved significantly compared to the day before, which made Yang Qingyu even more excited.

Yang Qingyu initially thought that since he was only a cultivator at the Shi level, it was best to keep a low profile. However, after discovering that inciting envy could increase his rewards, he decided to become more high-profile and let more people in the outer sect know about his strength.

To make his strength known, he needed to improve it. So, in the following days, the rewards he received didn’t directly increase his spiritual energy, but rather his combat power. In other words, he improved his martial arts skills, not his spiritual energy.

As his strength increased, he had several conflicts with others in the outer sect. He then challenged them to a duel on the arena. In the Shangyang Sect, grudges could be settled on the arena, but even if one went to the arena, killing the other was unacceptable.

In the outer sect of the Shangyang Sect, conflicts were not allowed. That meant they weren’t even permitted to fight normally. But what if two people really wanted to fight? It’s simple, just settle it on the arena. Once you’re on the arena, you can fight, but you can’t kill or cripple your opponent.

Of course, if the conflict between the two is too deep, it’s not impossible to actually fight to the death, but if you really want to kill each other, you both have to sign a life-or-death agreement before you can go on the arena.

However, if it’s just a simple fight and you don’t sign a life-or-death agreement, the outer sect steward guarding the arena can directly agree. But if you want a life-or-death battle, your request must be decided by the outer sect elders. However, most people who want life-or-death battles have been rejected, so gradually, no one in the outer sect of Shangyang Sect is willing to engage in life-or-death battles anymore.

Previously, Yang Qingyu had maintained a very low profile. He had never publicly revealed his surname as Yang, nor had he instigated any conflicts. However, after discovering that inciting envy would bring him rewards, he knew he could no longer remain low-key. Therefore, he engaged in several conflicts and duels in recent days, winning all of them. His reputation gradually spread throughout the outer sect. All the outer sect disciples in his area knew that there was a disciple from the Yang family, a teenager who had already reached the Shi level. While not the most outstanding genius, he was certainly much stronger than many ordinary outer sect disciples. Suddenly, Yang Qingyu’s name became known to many outer sect disciples, naturally attracting considerable envy. Because of this, Yang Qingyu’s strength improved even faster.

The faster his strength increased, the more people envied him, which made Yang Qingyu even happier. He realized his previous approach was correct: the more people heard of his name, the more people envied him, and the greater the rewards he received.

With the help of these people, Yang Qingyu, two months after reaching the “Power” level, actually advanced another level, directly reaching the “Throne” level, and successfully joined the inner sect.

This news immediately caused a sensation in the outer sect. Everyone knew that a disciple of the Yang family, only sixteen years old, had already successfully joined the inner sect. This matter not only spread in Yang Qingyu’s outer sect area, but also throughout the entire outer sect and even the inner sect. Yang Qingyu’s reputation instantly became known to more people, which naturally aroused more jealousy.

Yang Qingyu was naturally even happier. On the day he officially joined the inner sect, he completed the formalities and went directly to the grain store to find Yang Yonggang.

Yang Yonggang had been very excited these past few days, and he was still the same now. He was humming a little tune while drinking tea in the backyard, quite leisurely.

In fact, as the manager, he was not usually very busy. He was only busy for a few days when collecting grain. Otherwise, he was only responsible for distributing grain, so he was usually quite idle.

As soon as Yang Qingyu entered the grain store, she saw Yang Qinghe. Upon seeing her, Yang Qinghe immediately smiled and said, “Qingyu’s here? Uncle Yonggang is in the backyard. Qingyu, I heard you’ve quite a reputation here in the outer sect. They say you’ve sparred with quite a few people? Is that true?”

Yang Qingyu smiled and said, “It’s nothing, just a few moves with them, nothing special. Brother Qinghe, I’m going to see my father.”

Yang Qinghe responded, and Yang Qingyu went straight to the backyard. Yang Yonggang had already heard the noise and stood up. Seeing Yang Qingyu enter, he quickly greeted her, looking her up and down, and said, “Qingyu, I heard you’ve been sparring with people these past few days? Are you alright?”

Yang Qingyu smiled and said, “I’m fine, Father, you don’t need to worry about me. Father, look what this is?” She then took out a jade tablet and held it up to Yang Yonggang.

Yang Yonggang was taken aback. He then took the jade token and examined it. It was a piece of fine green jade, but most importantly, it bore the name Yang Qingyu, meaning it was an identity token.

This stunned Yang Yonggang. He knew perfectly well what a green jade identity token represented. As mentioned before, in the outer sect, wooden identity tokens represented disciples who hadn’t yet reached the Shi level, iron tokens represented those who had, and green jade tokens represented inner sect disciples, while white jade tokens represented core disciples and true disciples. The identity token Yang Qingyu had produced was made of green jade, which meant he was already an inner sect disciple.

Yang Yonggang stood there dumbfounded, holding the jade identity token. It took him a while to snap out of it and come to his senses. He turned to look at Yang Qingyu, a hint of fear on his face, and asked, “Qingyu, where…where did you get this identity token?”

Yang Qingyu was taken aback, then smiled and said, “Father, what are you saying? This identity token is mine, of course. I’ve already joined the inner sect and become an inner disciple. I wouldn’t dare make my own identity token. If the sect found out, they’d kill me.”

Yang Yonggang looked at Yang Qingyu, still… His face was filled with disbelief. He stared intently at Yang Qingyu and said, “Are you serious? You really became an inner disciple?”

Yang Qingyu nodded and laughed, “Yes, Father, I’m an inner disciple now! I’m a Throne-level cultivator now! Hahahaha!”

Yang Yonggang was stunned for a moment, then overjoyed. He immediately exclaimed, “Good! Hahahaha! That’s wonderful! That’s really wonderful!” This time, Yang Yonggang didn’t shed tears but burst into laughter. The sound was so loud that everyone in the shop heard it, and everyone curiously looked towards the backyard.

Yang Qinghe even came from the shop to the backyard. He looked at Yang Yonggang and Yang Qingyu with some confusion and asked, “Uncle Yonggang, what’s making you so happy?”

Yang Yonggang turned to look at Yang Qinghe and then laughed loudly, “Qingyu is an inner disciple now! Hahahaha! Qingyu is an inner disciple now!” This time, Yang Yonggang laughed even louder.

Upon hearing this, Yang Qinghe’s body trembled, and he looked at Yang Qingyu in disbelief. His voice trembled as he asked, “Qingyu, you…you really became an inner disciple?”

Yang Qingyu smiled and nodded, “Yes, I’m already an inner disciple. I just finished the formalities today.”

Yang Qinghe forced a smile, “Good, that’s wonderful! Congratulations!”

Yang Qingyu had seen this smile on Yang Qinghe’s face many times these past few days, so he didn’t mind. He still smiled and said, “Thank you, Brother Qinghe.” Yang Qinghe smiled and then returned to the shop. Soon, everyone in the shop knew that Yang Qingyu had become an inner disciple.

The entire shop suddenly became lively. It’s important to understand that there’s no comparison between outer and inner disciples. Yang Qingyu’s becoming an inner disciple means that even if he doesn’t advance further, he can still retire and become an inner disciple manager, or even a managerial elder in one of the branch halls. This status is already quite high, far surpassing theirs. That’s why they’re behaving so enthusiastically. Once Yang Qingyu becomes a branch hall managerial elder, their family’s fortunes will change dramatically. Their children will receive more cultivation resources, giving them a much higher starting point than others. It’s safe to say that after

Yang Qingyu becomes an inner disciple, their family’s status will immediately change. If the head of the Yang family knew about this, he would likely immediately adjust Yang Yonggang’s job.

Yang Yonggang smiled broadly, thanking everyone profusely. He was genuinely happy, as his current success was entirely due to Yang Qingyu. His child’s progress was even more gratifying to Yang Yonggang than his own advancement, hence his joy.

Yang Qingyu stayed in the shop, joining Yang Yonggang and the others in the festivities. He even specially ordered some food and wine from the tavern, treating the shopkeepers to a meal. That evening, he went home with Yang Yonggang to see his mother, younger brother, and younger sister.

Before, he was just an outer disciple; even after reaching the power level, he remained an outer disciple. Moreover, Yang Qingyu didn’t know then that incurring others’ envy could bring rewards, so he didn’t go home. But now it was different; he was now an inner disciple, so naturally, he wanted to go home and visit.
