Chapter 1129: Chapter 1129: The Difference is Huge_1

Maddy Wright really had the air of a local tyrant, and in one swift move, he called the six newly arrived people together and then led everyone to a very luxurious restaurant.

"I’m treating today, so don’t be shy."

After sitting down, Maddy Wright ordered quite a few dishes, and Peter Brown roughly estimated that it would cost at least a few hundred Immortal Crystals.

Glancing at the other four people, Peter noticed something amiss between Louis and Lillian Turner; both were sitting there without speaking to each other. As for the other two, a sense of dejection was evident on their faces, clearly dissatisfied with the current environment.

While Peter was discreetly observing everyone, they were also watching each other. Now that the six people had arrived, the differences were clear. Maddy Wright, with the care of a big brother, now displayed such a generous demeanor, surely he had received benefits from his elder brother and was already leading the pack. His future was boundlessly promising.

Even the quiet Peter Brown was also living in the new area, and while it might just seem like a difference between the new and old areas, Peter’s ability to live there indicated that he too was a wealthy man.

"I didn’t expect the Immortal Sect to be such a place. I checked, and everything costs money. How can one cultivate without money?" William Ford sighed.

"Yeah, the Cultivation Technique for the second level of Foundation Establishment costs 5,000 Immortal Crystals. We can barely afford food, let alone come up with that many Immortal Crystals," Juan Armstrong also shook his head.

Maddy Wright said, "My big brother has already helped me find a job. It’s easy and makes money, helping an alchemical brother with his chores. I get 3,000 Immortal Crystals a month, not bad, right?"

Upon hearing this, everyone let out a wry smile. Indeed, those with connections had greater opportunities for advancement. Such a job was truly enviable.

"Brother Wang, you’re on the fast track to success!" Juan Armstrong said with envy.

"Relax, we all come from the same place, so we should stick together. Once I secure my position, I’ll help you guys out and introduce you to some work."

Lillian Turner’s voice took on a coquettish tone, "Brother Wang, we’ll have to trouble you then. The old district’s living conditions are really hard to accept. Several people living together with no privacy at all."

Maddy Wright laughed, "That’s the reality here. With money, you can enjoy the best; without it, every step is a struggle. Luckily, my big brother is also quite impressive, and the job he introduced me to is very good. Living in the new district won’t be a problem, and I’ll even have the chance to learn alchemy. If I master alchemy, my income will be considerable, haha. The Immortal Sect is indeed not a bad place."

Peter Brown also smiled. Maddy Wright was not a bad person, just a little bit full of himself.

After eating for a while, Maddy Wright turned to Peter Brown and said, "We both share the surname Wang, so we should be closer. What about you today? What do you plan to do? Want to do chores?"

"I haven’t decided yet. I’ve just paid for one month’s exemption from chores, and I’m going to see if I can improve my cultivation."

Everyone looked at Peter with even more envy. They thought to themselves, Peter really didn’t seem to be wealthy, but he could afford a month’s exemption from chores, which cost 3,000 Immortal Crystals. He really was generous.

"Damn, you’re really rich!" Maddy Wright couldn’t keep his composure.

"Rich? I calculated it; that’s all the money I brought with me. Without working, I’ll be eating up my capital soon!"

Maddy Wright then nodded, "My big brother also said that life here is all about spending money. No amount of money is ever enough, but fortunately, there are many activities within the Sect that can bring in Immortal Crystals. As long as one is willing, it’s possible to get some."

Louis eagerly asked Maddy Wright, "Please do tell us how to make money. I thought I was doing alright in the Mortal Realm, but coming here, I find myself in such a situation. I’m short on money!"

"The key is we’re all Chore Disciples. There aren’t many ways to make money now. If one were above the rank of Immortal, they could go hunt Demon Beasts or something. A single beast is worth a lot of money."

"Stop talking about those impossible things, and just tell us how Chore Disciples can make money," Juan Armstrong said, clearly distressed by money matters.

Maddy Wright replied, "Firstly, of course, is to do business. I’ve already thought about it. While doing chores, I can help sell the waste products of my fellow disciples, which also can earn a bit of petty cash. Another thing is the monthly disciple promotion battle. If you have the strength, every ranked battle in the Sect gives rewards."

"What kind of rewards?" asked Lillian Turner.

"Our Sect is divided into many levels, but let’s just talk about the Chore Disciples. The new district has 10,000 free housing slots. If you can rank in the top 10,000 in the promotion battle, you’re eligible for a month’s free housing in the new district, free food for a month, and a 1,000 Immortal Crystals reward. On top of that, the top one hundred add another thousand, the top ten add yet another thousand, and for the top five, the reward goes up to 5,000 Immortal Crystals. For the top three, it’s even more."

Hearing this, everyone’s eyes lit up. William Ford said, "We’re new disciples, and naturally at a disadvantage compared to the older disciples. How can we compete?"

Maddy Wright responded, "The Sect has already thought of that. New disciples are segregated for competitions within their first year, not mixed with the older disciples. After one year, they become older disciples, and then there’s no distinction."

Louis asked eagerly, "How many new disciples are there?"

"Definitely a lot. I know that every year, the Sect recruits tens of thousands of new disciples from all over. These tens of thousands are set aside for their own competitions, and the top one hundred get a month of free food and lodging."

Peter Brown said, "What if you already have food and lodging?"

Maddy Wright laughed and said, "I specifically asked about that. For someone in your situation who has already paid, if you win, you can forgo the housing and food rewards and take Immortal Crystals instead, which would amount to 2,000 Immortal Crystals."

Now, everyone was truly excited, and they all became animated, a stark change from their previously somber demeanor.

Louis looked at Lillian Turner and said, "Lillian, don’t worry. With my strength, I should at least make it into the top hundred."

Lillian Turner’s expression softened, and her gaze toward him warmed.

Peter shook his head to himself, the situation between these two didn’t seem very promising. Whether they could continue together in the future was questionable, the Immortal Sect was just too pragmatic.

Yet now, with this new opportunity, Peter felt cheerful. With his level of cultivation, securing a spot in the top hundred shouldn’t be a problem. Peter didn’t believe there were that many people who had reached the Spiritual Realm.

Thanks to Maddy Wright’s news, everyone’s interest surged, no longer bearing the air of defeat they had earlier.
