Isn't this a game? How come you guys are really cultivating immortals!

"What should we do? The people from the Ten Thousand Immortals Sect are coming."

Song Jiulai stood there anxiously for a moment.

What she's doing now, aside from other things, definitely can't be discovered by the Myriad Immortals Sect regarding spiritual herbs and weapon crafting.

The main problem is that so many people are still inside the sect. If this gets discovered, it won't be easy to explain!

Her small sect has grown to the size of a major sect; how can this be allowed to continue?

Are disciples with spiritual roots like cabbages growing by the roadside?

It also involves the issue of tax payment. If taxes are due next year, it is said that they will start checking the number of people. Anyway, no one knows what methods the Wanxian Sect will use to check the number of people.

For example, how do they know how many more people have joined the sect?

When Han Daozi helped establish the inner sect, Song Jiulai asked this question.

But Han Daozi told her not to worry about this problem, because the Ten Thousand Immortals Sect uses tokens to check people.

After the establishment of the Inner Sect, all players who came after Song Jiulai appeared from the Inner Sect and never appeared in the original territory of the Longevity Sect. They could not be marked on the boundary markers, and they could not sense the disciples' aura, so their numbers would not increase.

After all, disciples of ordinary sects are required to be active within the sect, but those of the Longevity Sect, which are raised in a free-range manner, are quite different.

Moreover, she also paid taxes to other sects for a portion of it.

That's really unethical.

The reason we're in such a hurry is that the Myriad Immortals Sect might arrive early to see something else.

System: "What's the rush? Why weren't you in a rush when you were thinking of overturning the rules of Yunzhou Continent?"

Song Jiulai: "Wasn't that because you forced me to do it!"

System: "Wow?!"

Despite his words, Song Jiulai still had the system quickly notify all the players.

Sect Channel.

[System: Urgent Notice, Breaking News! The Myriad Immortals Sect will soon be conducting inspections of various sects. All disciples of the Longevity Sect located in Wang'an County are requested to remain within the inner sect unless absolutely necessary. All disciples currently outside the sect are to maintain their independent cultivation status. If you commit any offenses outside, do not reveal the name of your sect!]

[Yang Meimei: Ah... what a disheartening statement!]

[Su Daqiang: I insist on saying what to do?]

[Gu Yunxi: Do you want the system to betray its own family for the greater good?]

[Alluring Beauty: Why is the Myriad Immortals Sect conducting inspections? Has something important happened?]

[Niu Dawei: What kind of name is "倾国" (qīng guó, meaning "captivating a nation")? How could someone be so shameless? Let me see just how beautiful they really are!]

[Alluring Beauty: The latest system's face is modeled after mine]

[Lin Baobao: That's so beautiful, sister!]

[Zhou Nvzi: @倾国/大拇]

[Zhen Weida: What's going on? The system even sent a notification?]

Players now understand the system's nature, and can ask questions individually when notifications are sent.

Many players will surely ask what happened to the system, and why the Ten Thousand Immortals Sect is coming to inspect the various sects.

The system mysteriously said, "The Ten Thousand Immortals Sect is raising ghosts!"

The woman who asked the question, Qingguo, exclaimed, "...What the hell?"

System: "A hundred years ago, there was a sect called the Soul-Severing Sect in the Tianyang Sect. Their cultivation method was extremely cruel and inhumane, and the Tianyang Sect destroyed the sect in a humane way. However, it has now been discovered that some of them escaped to places outside the Yunzhou Continent and are now making a comeback. They are targeting the Fierce Eagle Sect first."

The beauty instantly understood: "What's the origin of the Soul-Severing Sect's cultivation method?"

The system didn't waste words with clever people: "Those who manipulate, possess, or cultivate this mental technique will lose their basic humanity and become the common enemy of the cultivation world."

Qingguo noticed something else: "You mean somewhere outside the Yunzhou Continent? Territory outside the major sects? Where would that be?"

System: "How would I know if you ask me?"

"..."

Previously, the system was more secretive; at least it would pretend to be an all-knowing expert.

Now that they've been together for a while, they've probably completely opened up to each other.

If you don't know something, you just don't know it.

The system still reminded you: "This matter cannot be discussed now. If you know, just pretend you don't."

The beauty raised an eyebrow: "Then why are you telling us? You could have just kept quiet."

System: "It's fine for family members to gossip, but you want to tell others? If you keep doing this, I won't tell you any more gossip in the future."

"..."

This system is truly neurotic.

However, Qingguo had to admit that there was such a vivid and interactive system.

It's actually quite interesting.

Life is much more interesting now than before.

There's so much to look forward to!

Players quickly learned about the Soul Severing Sect, and after realizing how terrifying it was, they remained quite docile.

With the inspection by the Wanxian Sect, except for the necessary workshops in Wang'an County which were short of manpower, most other tasks were left to the mortals to handle themselves.

Most of the disciples have returned to the inner sect. In any case, the inner sect is gradually developing and being established. Chen Miaomiao, the most important spiritual herb base, has already been completely relocated.

Most of the scattered second-level spiritual herbs planted outside had to be disposed of, albeit with great difficulty.

The land was cleared out to build something else.

Today, Wang'an County is officially moving towards becoming a city.

The only problem we face now is population, and more population.

The only ways to replenish the population now are either for the sect leader to continue adding players, or to relocate mortals from other sects.

Knowing that something might happen to the Fierce Eagle Sect, the players quickly set their sights on the mortals there.

According to messages from some players who have already gone to the Fierce Eagle Sect, the mortals there are probably not doing very well.

It's much more oppressive than other sects, supposedly because the Fierce Eagle Sect has very strict management.

Compared to all these chaotic events, one player is currently quite relaxed.

That must be Su Daqiang.

The sect leader had high hopes for him and allowed him to be the sect leader alone outside. He led a group of new players and casual players to take over the territory of the Spirit Fox Sect.

He then led his men to Liuxian City to apply for a sect token.

As expected, the Ten Thousand Immortals Sect only asked a few questions before granting Su Daqiang permission to establish his sect on the original site of the Spirit Fox Sect.

After officially taking over the territory of the Spirit Fox Sect, the first thing Su Daqiang moved over was a group of small flower beasts.

Those little flower beasts that were originally afraid of people have now grown up a bit and are following closely behind Su Daqiang. They are quite beautiful, with their colorful plumage.

Su Daqiang also contacted Tang Lingxiao, a merchant who had previously traded with Wang'an County, and asked him to purchase a batch of spirit beast cubs from other spirit beast sects.

In terms of architectural style, we will preserve the original style and have no intention of carrying out any industrialized construction. We just want it to be natural.

Su Daqiang was busy planting spirit herbs for spirit beasts in the spirit field, and also chased Wangcai and Dahuang, who were running around with their butts sticking out, back to the ridge of the field.

At this moment, the casual player discussion group started beeping.

[Han Tian: Miao Miao just brought me a message. You guys should be careful lately, watch out for any strange people around you or in your neighborhood. We veteran players might be being targeted.]

Su Daqiang was startled.

[Gu Yunxi: What does it mean to be targeted?]

[Han Tian: They suspect that those overseas who haven't been able to get a spot are getting desperate and have started sending spies in. But since this is in China, they don't dare to do it openly. You guys better be careful and stay home as much as possible. There are alarms in the game pods, and the system will alert us.]

[Su Daqiang: There's a risk of being targeted by spies just for playing a game? Then I'm not playing.]

System: "We'll begin the account cancellation process now."

Su Daqiang: "No, no, no, I was just kidding! Look how impatient you are!"

Chapter 383 has a minor bug; Han Daozi asked Master Chihe a question repeatedly, so I've fixed it.
