Even the God of Quick Transmigration Needs an Assessment

Another month passed. Although Jianfeng's days were average, they were not easy either, but he persevered thanks to his strong will.

He wandered around the Sword's Edge, only to find himself trapped in a pitfall at every turn. He would emerge from one formation and walk a few steps into another. There were bewildering smoke formations and binding formations, but there was even one that turned you into a pig if you stepped into it. He wondered who had come up with that idea. He struggled to crawl out of the formation, really wanting to know who had set it up. If he wasn't afraid of alerting the higher-ups, he would have liked to go over and throw the person who set it up here so they could experience it for themselves.

He was so angry.

The only redeeming quality was that, thanks to his good looks and kind nature, he managed to glean a lot of useful information, including why Jianfeng had so many magic arrays.

It's often said that sword cultivators are the poorest in the cultivation world, and that's no exaggeration. Pill cultivators can sell pills, weapon cultivators can forge magical artifacts, talisman cultivators can buy talismans, and array cultivators can buy array plates. Only sword cultivators have virtually no way to earn spirit stones. The little spirit stones they earn from quests are all spent on their precious swords. If their swords break, they need spirit stones to repair them; if they upgrade their swords, they need spirit stones to buy materials. It's true that everything requires spirit stones.

It's okay for me to suffer a little, but I can't let my spirit sword suffer. For many sword cultivators, their sword is their companion. How could they possibly wrong their companion?

However, earning spirit stones by doing tasks was too slow, so the clever disciples came up with a crooked idea. They could practice swordsmanship without being restricted by the environment and could practice anywhere. But array cultivators were different. They always had to find a place to test the power of the array plates they had made. The consumption of spirit stones, the range of the shock, and the effect of the array were all key to verifying the effectiveness of the array.

So, after obtaining the consent of Xuan Du, the master of Sword Peak, a group of sword cultivators quickly reached an agreement with the people of Array Peak. The sword cultivators received spirit stones, and the array cultivators gained the right to use the territory. With both sides believing that they had gained an advantage, they showed satisfied smiles.

Sword Cultivator: So many spirit stones! I can use them to repair my sword. I've made a profit!

Array Cultivator: Buy five array plates and you can exchange them for a piece of land. What a steal!

Unfortunately, a few years ago, the Qingyun Sect cleared out a piece of land and set up a training platform, similar to a secret realm. Disciples can use it freely, and can enter and exit simply by using the task points earned from completing tasks. This is obviously more cost-effective than spending spirit stones, and the secret realm can also automatically repair itself, which is even better!

So, after much pleading from the ordinary sword cultivators, they resolutely left and turned to the training platform.

"Hey! Can't you stay here?"

"If you're not leaving, you can pay for the spirit stones spent on the flowers."

"You know perfectly well that we're poor."

"Just keep it to yourself; don't hold us back from moving towards the best future."

The two groups parted ways with regret, but the array on the back mountain was something they had casually set up for testing. They had almost forgotten where it was when it came to removing it. They led their sword cultivator disciples in and strode in, but after only a few steps, they came out in tattered clothes. There were just too many arrays.

In the end, no one wanted to go in anymore. Chen Yi, the senior disciple of the outer sect of Jianfeng, took the opportunity to make one last profit and then left it alone, treating it as a defensive formation that could not only defend but also hone the skills of the new disciples.

Hey.

It's just tough on the new disciples who come to the sect every time they have an acceptance ceremony. They step into the formation with innocent ignorance, crawl out miserably, and see their senior brothers trying not to laugh.

From then on, this matter was not told to new disciples, and this became a tradition of Jianfeng.

It's just that Tsukigami really forgot.

The senior disciple of the outer sect was sitting to one side waiting for someone to come. His junior brother, laughing, approached him and struck up a conversation, hoping to ease the tension. "Senior brother," he said, "someone's stepped on the formation in the back mountain again! It's hilarious! Half of them've been stepped on by the new disciples this month! So stupid, haha!"

Chen Yi's mind was clearly not on these gossips; he was staring intently at the gate of the bounty post. Behind him sat a group of other Sword Edge disciples, all looking in the same direction.

Then a clear bell sound came from inside. Everyone who heard the sound stood up excitedly, and there was a moment of restlessness. Chen Yi calmed the situation down and instructed, "Everyone, calm down. We must go over as soon as they come out. Don't be shy. Only the brave will have a chance. Think about your swords."

"Yes!" everyone responded.

Then a group of disciples dressed in the attire of their respective peaks emerged from the bounty platform. At a command, the disciples of Sword Peak swarmed forward.

Chen Yi found his target and walked directly up to a junior female disciple from Danfeng Peak, flashing a friendly smile. "Junior sister, you've accepted a mission. Do you need a bodyguard for protection? It's okay if you don't, I also offer mission completion services. Would you like to consider it?"

"Junior brother, this task is difficult; you should charge at least 20 spirit stones. This is already a very good deal."

Upon hearing this, one of the disciples exclaimed, "Twenty yuan is so much! This person is rich!" and eagerly offered, "Junior brother, I have fifteen yuan. Use mine."

Others who hadn't found theirs started grabbing them too, one saying, "I'll take 12 yuan."

"Don't listen to him, I'll give you 10 yuan."

"Junior brother, I haven't eaten for days. Please have pity on me. I only need 8 yuan."

Ultimately, under the envious gazes of the disciples, the task was successfully completed for 8 spirit stones.

The other disciples were dissatisfied and came to Chen Yi to demand justice. "Senior Brother, look at that kid! He's practically disrupting market prices! This is vicious competition!"

Helpless, Chen Yi could only criticize that disciple and then find other people to do the same work of finding spirit stones.

Chen Yi couldn't help but sigh. Back then, it was really easy to make money. You could earn spirit stones just by sitting there. Unlike now, you have to spend every day squatting at the bounty post looking for work.

Sigh, looking back, I burst into tears.

In short, Han Ziyan was the unlucky guy, but who told him to run around like that? It was his own problem of having impure thoughts.

After experiencing Han Ziyan's situation, Yuewu realized how difficult it was to become a sword cultivator. However, as a direct disciple and pampered by Xuandu, she didn't care about the issue of spirit stones.

However, she is no longer the same Moon Mist as before. Now, she is determined to make a name for herself and become a financial tycoon in the cultivation world.

She approached Chen Yi to discuss business, offering him a platform and the reputation of her personal disciples. All they had to do was escort the passengers with their own spirit swords—a win-win situation. Upon hearing about this new opportunity, Chen Yi discussed it with his other disciples and agreed.

With the help of 66 and Xuan Shen, Yue Wu successfully built a spiritual energy network and created a communication jade tablet. This jade tablet is equivalent to a modern mobile phone. The use of various functions is free, but the jade tablet itself is a small but painful expense.

According to Xuan Shen's plan, they would first give the gifts to the elders and leaders of various sects for free, and then randomly give a few to their disciples so that they could experience them properly. Once they had seen enough, they would start selling them.

Xuan Shen had come up with a whole bunch of solutions, such as scarcity marketing, personalized customization, and feature upgrades, which made Yue Wu sigh that someone was more like a financial tycoon than her.

But she's the real boss behind the scenes, and she's the most capable.

Everyone in Jianfeng made a fortune from this, and the contact jade tokens quickly circulated throughout the cultivation world, ushering in the information age for the cultivation world.

Chen Yi and the other disciples looked at their dividends in disbelief. So many spirit stones! They could use them to fully forge their precious swords. They were so moved. Making money really does require brains.

A sword cultivator's rise to prominence doesn't necessarily depend on hard work; sometimes, following the right person is also crucial, because sometimes choice is more important than effort.

Han Ziyan looked at the expensive jade pendant in his hand and sulked again. He had to buy it himself, and he even saw him secretly slip one to Ji Ci. It was blatant favoritism.

This might be what they mean by "coming from behind to surpass the leader".

He was the one who came first, but he never got any of the good things.

He could only console himself that he must like him; otherwise, he couldn't explain why he would dislike a handsome, gentle, and refined stranger so much.

That doesn't make sense! He was putting on such a perfect act!
