I have the face of a great demon.

Just as the many servant disciples were about to fall to their deaths off the cliff, a sudden gust of wind swept up from the ground, slowing their descent.

Immediately afterwards, flying swords swept past them, each carrying a disciple of the Heavenly River Sect. They grabbed one of the howling, miscellaneous disciples in each hand and flew upwards.

Before long, all the handyman disciples were thrown back onto the cliff.

They lay on the ground, panting heavily, the look of terror still lingering on their faces; some had even wet themselves from the shock.

At this moment, He Taichou said to Zhao Wuji, "Well, the people you brought are fine. You can handle the rest."

Zhao Wuji was dumbfounded.

Is this okay?

The sect leader is far too cautious; I am far inferior to him.

Zhao Wuji looked at the group of terrified disciples in front of him and chuckled inwardly, but his face was full of sympathy.

He was like a kind elder, patting this person on the shoulder and that person on the back, and having the kitchen prepare tables of sumptuous food for them to enjoy.

After the delicious meal, everyone's emotions finally stabilized a bit.

That evening, the newly arrived handyman disciples were assigned their own rooms, washed up, and went to sleep.

The next morning, as the morning light bathed the mountain peak, the newly arrived menial disciples began their new life at the Tianhe Sect.

Under Elder Zhao's arrangement, several outer disciples were responsible for mentoring these newcomers.

After his senior brothers explained things to him, Liu Xingchen gained a basic understanding of the miscellaneous service hall.

The Miscellaneous Service Hall is responsible for all matters, big and small, inside and outside the Tianhe Sect, from major tasks like house repairs to minor tasks like chopping wood, carrying water, washing clothes, cooking, and running errands.

In short, it's all about serving the high and mighty immortals of the Tianhe Sect.

The Tianhe Sect has more than 2,000 immortals, including nearly 1,500 outer disciples, more than 400 inner disciples, and the rest are stewards, elders, and the sect leader.

The number of handyman disciples, including this batch of newcomers, is only a little over three hundred.

The task of providing services to so many people with just over three hundred people is undoubtedly heavy.

The first priority for these newly arrived menial disciples was not to do chores, but to cultivate their martial arts under the guidance of several senior disciples from the outer sect.

After all, if you don't even know the most basic methods of cultivating immortality, how can you serve the immortals?

The servant disciples were incredibly excited when they heard that they could learn immortal techniques.

This is what they've always dreamed of.

As long as one can become a menial disciple, one can cultivate the simplest cultivation method. Even if one has no hope of cultivating immortality in the future and leaves the Tianhe Sect, one can still become a well-known figure in the martial arts world.

Under the guidance of their senior brothers, the newly arrived menial disciples began to cultivate, absorbing the pure spiritual energy in the mountains and transforming it into their own spiritual power, gradually gaining the most basic cultivation level.

Everyone was overjoyed to be able to cultivate the immortals' methods, but Liu Xingchen found it boring.

This cultivation method is only a Yellow-level technique, and its effects are not very good, far inferior to the Profound-level mental cultivation method that Liu Xingchen cultivates—the Wuhua Mental Cultivation Method.

He believed that the cultivation techniques of such a large sect as the Tianhe Sect could not be so low-level; it must be because they were just menial disciples and were not qualified to cultivate advanced techniques.

The Heavenly River Sect only required them to have a little bit of cultivation so they could do the work.

Although he thought this way, Liu Xingchen still pretended to be a clueless newbie and cultivated along with everyone else.

Although the cultivation technique isn't very good, the spiritual energy here is quite abundant. If he were to switch to the Wuhua Heart Method, and with the help of the spirit ghost, his cultivation would definitely advance by leaps and bounds.

However, he dared not do that in public. It seemed he would have to find a secluded place to hide and cultivate in secret.

After cultivating for about ten days, everyone began to have a trace of spiritual power in their bodies, so their senior brothers sent them off to do chores.

They were newcomers and not yet allowed into the official disciple areas or higher-level areas of the Tianhe Sect, so their first task was to cut down trees.

Led by their senior brothers, the group of handymen disciples trekked for an hour and arrived at a nearby mountain.

The mountain is covered with trees, their dense canopies blocking out the sun. From a distance, it looks like a green ocean that stretches as far as the eye can see.

The team leader, Senior Brother Zhang, led everyone to a towering tree. He patted the trunk and said:

"Fellow disciples, these are spirit cedar trees unique to our Tianhe Sect."

"These spirit cedar trees absorb the spiritual energy of the mountains and the essence of the sun and moon. They are tall, large, and sturdy, and they are not ordinary trees in the mortal world."

One of the disciples asked, "Senior brother, what's so special about this spirit cedar wood?"

"Special features? There are too many to list."

Senior Brother Zhang began his presentation with great enthusiasm.

"First of all, it's very sturdy and works well for everything you do, you'll see when you're cutting down trees in a bit."

"Secondly, the furniture and buildings made of these spirit cedar woods have a faint spiritual energy and a pleasant fragrance, making them the preferred material for immortals to build houses."

"Moreover, the spirit cedar wood does not rot for thousands of years, is impervious to water and fire, and is warm in winter and cool in summer. These benefits are numerous."

The servant disciples were stunned. Such fine wood, it truly was a divine treasure. If they could take a piece of it back, it could be a family heirloom.

However, they only thought about it, after all, they wouldn't dare to take things belonging to immortals casually.

After briefly explaining the situation, the senior student assigned them tasks.

"Look carefully, everyone. This mountain forest is divided into several areas."

"From the foot of the mountain to the middle of the mountain, this area is planted with century-old spirit cedar trees, and further up to the top of the mountain, this area is planted with millennium-old spirit cedar trees, and the area at the very top of the mountain is planted with ten-thousand-year-old spirit cedar trees."

"Different years of cedar wood have different uses, so this time we're only cutting down century-old cedar trees. Do you all understand?"

The disciples responded in unison, "Understood, Senior Brother."

Some busybodies asked, "Senior brother, what if we go the wrong way and end up at the place of the thousand-year-old spirit cedar tree, and cut it down?"

Senior Brother Zhang laughed heartily: "Don't worry, you won't go to the wrong place. The areas with thousand-year-old and ten-thousand-year-old spirit cedar trees are all protected by restrictions, so you can't enter."

"Even without the restrictions, with your abilities, you wouldn't be able to cut it down, so there's nothing to worry about."

Everyone was relieved and could just start chopping without worrying about making a mistake.

Each of the handyman disciples carried an axe, found a spirit cedar tree, and began chopping with their axes.

Only after that axe blow did they realize that their senior brother wasn't bragging. Not to mention thousand-year-old or ten-thousand-year-old spirit cedar wood, even a hundred-year-old one was incredibly hard.

The axe blow didn't leave much of a mark on the tree trunk, but it did make my arm go numb.
