Chapter 149: Chapter 149: She’s Wanted
She integrated it into her mental method and began to circulate it.
Mastering Spiritual Energy.
That was the trick to this game.
The feeling of possessing Spiritual Energy was truly a world apart from being an ordinary person.
So much so that Zhan Sheng genuinely felt as if she was born to cultivate.
Her vision improved, and her five senses grew sharper.
If she’d had this kind of awareness back in reality, maybe back then, she—
Zhan Sheng shook her head and let out a self-deprecating laugh.
’I’m just dreaming.’

Song Jiulai returned to the Sect.
Da Hu, who had been with Su Daqiang, caught Song Jiulai’s scent and came trotting out of the house.
A few Little Flower Beasts trailed at its heels.
"Huh?"
Song Jiulai was rather surprised by the sight.
Little Flower Beasts were naturally fearful of Cultivators and humans, but the ones Fan Guzhou had raised had somehow become quite clingy.
They even dared to wander outside now.
Not only that, but ever since Second-stage Spiritual Grass could be planted at will, Su Daqiang was now feeding First-rank spirit grass to the Stealing Spirit Mice.
The Stealing Spirit Mice, which used to nibble on Spirit Grass in secret, could now swagger out and eat until their bellies were round.
The life-style players could even reach out and pet them.
This just went to show that so-called demon beasts were not untamable, given the right circumstances.
Da Hu wagged its tail at Song Jiulai, and she patted its head.
Sensing a presence behind her, Song Jiulai turned to see A Wu appear, looking exhausted. "Sect Master?"
A Wu rubbed his eyes.
A Wu had also taken part in fighting the demon beast invasion.
He had been fighting constantly with little rest.
Now, he was helping clean up the destroyed Spirit Grass.
Although he couldn’t get the Sect’s Elixir Pills, the other players would give him some.
A Wu enjoyed the various benefits of the Sect. He’d long known that this group of players and the Sect Master weren’t quite normal, but he didn’t care about that.
He had many people with him now, so he wasn’t lonely or bored. His junior brothers and sisters even played with him.
He just couldn’t see the Sect Master as often now. ’I really miss her.’
"A Wu."
Seeing A Wu, Song Jiulai showed a rare, genuine tenderness. She patted his head. "You should get some proper rest. Don’t overwork yourself."
A Wu jumped slightly. "Sect Master, I’m not tired! My junior brothers and sisters are all fighting so hard. As the eldest senior brother, how could I be tired?"
But now that he saw the Sect Master, A Wu couldn’t help but complain, "But Sect Master, my junior brothers and sisters said that after the school at the foot of the mountain is officially built, they want me to attend."
The school was currently stuck on the issue of textbooks and teachers.
The players had come here for Cultivation, so they couldn’t really be teachers.
They would just have to pick some interested life-style players when the time came.
The reason for insisting on a school was that everyone had discovered that while the Yunzhou Continent’s writing system was fine, it had many inconveniences.
Given the unfathomable methods of the Cultivation World, everyone unanimously decided it was best to use the Huaxia Language to maintain the Sect’s uniqueness.
That way, if any information leaked out, others wouldn’t be able to understand it.
They could even bust out a few lines of English if necessary.
Forget the other stuff; the Huaxia Language had to be taught.
Wang’an County had quite a few illiterates.
"School?"
Song Jiulai could tell right away that A Wu was unwilling, but she thought it was a great idea. "School is good."
A Wu was instantly shocked. "Sect Master, do I really have to go to school?"
"School is actually quite interesting," Song Jiulai said, lying through her teeth. "The things your junior brothers and sisters teach you will pique your interest."
A Wu’s face instantly fell.
’Cultivation is already so hard, why do I have to go to school too?’
Even though A Wu had never been to school, he still had to learn the writing of the Yunzhou Continent to understand the mental method.
The process of learning to read back then had been agonizing.
"It’s fine. Study hard, and I’ll give you all rewards when you graduate."
Song Jiulai wrote him a blank check. A Wu had no choice but to agree before going off to help the other players with their tasks.
Meanwhile, Song Jiulai had other business to attend to now that she was back at the Sect.
She planned to make a trip to Liu Xian City to sell off all the Sect’s spirit materials and Spirit Grass.
She would only leave a portion for the players.
They had run out of Spirit Stones and needed to restock. With the goods piling up, the players didn’t have enough points to redeem them anyway.
After selling them, she needed to buy a Flying Magical Treasure for travel and various other things.
She would also see if she could pick out a decent Combat Magic Treasure.
She had already confirmed that she couldn’t master Artifact Refining or Elixir Pills. She had too much to worry about, and both Artifact Refining and Alchemy required immense patience. Song Jiulai decided to focus solely on the path of combat and leave the rest to the players.
To get to Liu Xian City now, she still needed to find Zhai Xiaotian.
Liu Xian City was a large place. If she disguised herself and sold a large quantity of spirit materials all at once, no one would be able to trace it back to her, even if they grew suspicious.
’Besides, her small stash of goods probably wouldn’t attract the attention of any Major Sects, right?’
Song Jiulai immediately set off to find Zhai Xiaotian, once again taking on the appearance of the cultivator from that day.
When Zhai Xiaotian saw Song Jiulai, a clear smile played on his lips. "Young friend, you’ve come again?"
Song Jiulai laughed heartily. "I’ll have to trouble you again this time, Senior, to take me to Liu Xian City."
Zhai Xiaotian said, "Wang’an County suffered a demon beast invasion last night. I didn’t expect the Feique Sect to hold them off. The people of the Longevity Sect made a huge contribution this time. I’ve become quite interested in the Longevity Sect’s Sect Master."
Song Jiulai said to the system, ’He’s probably figured out that I’m the Sect Master, hasn’t he?’
System: "It’s fine. We’re thick-skinned. Just play dumb."
"..."
Song Jiulai just smiled and nodded. "Indeed, Senior. That Sect Master of the Longevity Sect must be a remarkable person. So, Senior, shall we depart now?"
Zhai Xiaotian shot Song Jiulai a meaningful glance, then said, "Sit tight. Let’s go."
With that, he tossed out his gourd.
This time, the speed was even faster than before.
But Song Jiulai could now withstand the wind pressure.
Upon arriving at Liu Xian City, Zhai Xiaotian suddenly said, "Young friend, you should be careful when you enter the city."
Just as Song Jiulai was about to ask what he meant, Zhai Xiaotian was already gone, disappearing at the speed of light.
"Hey?"
Song Jiulai thought for a moment. She had already planned to change her face before entering the city anyway.
Caution had become a habit for her; she now changed into a different face every time she appeared in places like this.
And she always chose a male appearance.
The moment she entered the city, Song Jiulai knew why Zhai Xiaotian had said that.
The face she had been wearing just moments ago was on a wanted list in Liu Xian City.
Oh, not quite. It was an internal wanted notice from some of the other Sects in Liu Xian City.
The Blood Prison Sect and the Extreme Saint Sect were among them.
The wanted notice was displayed on a type of stone that could show a Mirror Image, placed in front of all the major shops.
On it, the face of Song Abao, which she had used before, was displayed with perfect clarity.
No reason was given; it was simply a warrant for this person’s arrest.
Song Jiulai was stunned when she first saw it. She couldn’t believe that she had been put on a wanted list just for picking some Spirit Grass in a Secret Realm.
’Are these Sects really that petty?’
She stood before the Water Mirror with her hands on her hips, lost in thought.
"Was the face I made up back then really that repulsive?"
System: "More or less."
"..."
