This Is Not the Female Demon Lord I Remembered
Chapter 277 - 268: What can I say? It’s good to be rich!

Chapter 277: Chapter 268: What can I say? It’s good to be rich!

Liang Yi numbly listened to the notifications of increasing sect’s luck transmitted by the system panel, watching Purple Xuanbu continuously taking out all sorts of treasures from the sect’s treasury to carry out the sect renovation plan.

Once or twice was still shocking, but in the blink of an eye, such notifications smoothly scrolled across Liang Yi’s vision like flowing water.

What can one say? Being wealthy is truly great!

The warm sunlight slanted through the dense forest, elongating Liang Yi’s shadow. Seeing Purple Xuanbu being so lavish, Liang Yi suddenly thought: Could the rare material required to forge that Immortal Sword be available at Purple Cloud Sect?

Since the system panel has stated that, being the Purple Cloud Sect Leader, he owns all the sect’s items, then reallocating some shouldn’t be a problem, right?

On the other side, under the astonished gazes of Su Youyi and Old Master Ju, Purple Xuanbu renovated the Purple Cloud Sect thoroughly, from inside out. From the outside, Purple Cloud Sect now looked capable of punching Blood Control Sect and kicking Senluo Wanxiang Sect without any problem.

Liang Yi could already predict the wild reactions of the players when they see this scene. Who wouldn’t want to join such an appealing sect? Moreover, the system panel displayed it as a completely nonexistent Super Force.

Taking advantage of the other sects not yet placing serious attention, Liang Yi planned to expand Purple Cloud Sect’s fame among players. Besides him and Su Youyi being attractive enough, Old Master Ju could also be pulled in as the sect’s mascot. Coupled with such a cool sect image, nobody could resist!

"Elder Zi, your craftsmanship is such a waste not being a designer!" Watching the completed work of Purple Xuanbu, Old Master Ju smacked his lips and sighed towards Purple Xuanbu.

"Eh, it’s just a hobby." Although Purple Xuanbu didn’t quite understand what a designer was, as mentioned by Old Master Ju, he guessed the gist and modestly waved his hand.

After all, the sect now had a lot to revive, and attracting disciples would require something special, the more flamboyant, the better.

Young people, don’t they all fall for that?

Once, he was also a master storyteller in his field, knowing what those fledgling novices liked to hear and see, so now he just had to build according to those descriptions in the books. Isn’t that simple?

"Isn’t Purple Cloud Sect currently only you and Elder Zi?" Su Youyi looked around and didn’t see anyone else in the Purple Cloud Sect.

Could it be that they really planned for Elder Zi alone to support the sect by multiplying himself into hundreds?

"Haha, naturally not," Purple Xuanbu laughed heartily, having anticipated this question.

"Oh?" Liang Yi, Old Master Ju, and Su Youyi all showed curious expressions, wondering from where Elder Zi planned to find so many people.

"The Sect Leader should know, because this matter must be handled by the Sect Leader." Purple Xuanbu grinned at Liang Yi.

Su Youyi blinked her eyes towards her senior brother, unsure of what method Elder Zi was hinting at that specifically required the senior brother’s involvement.

"Me?" Liang Yi raised an eyebrow, visibly surprised.

Not knowing was okay; Liang Yi directly opened the sect system panel. Since it must be handled by the Sect Leader, it had to be a privilege exclusive to the Sect Leader.

Liang Yi pretended to ponder, but behind the scenes, he had already scoured the sect system from head to tail. Finally, his gaze locked onto the Taihua Xiyi Bell.

"Is it the Taihua Xiyi Bell?" Liang Yi asked seemingly offhandedly.

"I didn’t expect the Sect Leader to guess it; truly beyond my expectation," Purple Xuanbu was surprised that Liang Yi guessed the answer so quickly.

"Where is the bell?" Old Master Ju hopped onto Liang Yi’s shoulder, eager to see the legendary Immortal Bell, which was famous even in his sparse memories.

"Up there!" Liang Yi pointed towards the sky filled with the Purple Mist’s radiant light.

"Hmm?" Old Master Ju raised his paw to shield his eyes, gazing up at the vast expanse of clouds. After discerning carefully for a long while, he finally spotted an elusive shadow.

The Taihua Xiyi Bell itself, having endured the erosive passage of time, was already very weak, only the various mystical essences contained in the nearby Purple Mist cloud sea could slowly restore the Taihua Xiyi Bell’s condition.

Dong——

With Liang Yi’s agreement, Purple Xuanbu made a void-knocking gesture with his index finger, and the Taihua Xiyi Bell chimed in response.

Countless rays of light shot out from the Taihua Xiyi Bell, directly landing on the grass in front of Liang Yi and the others.

As the divine light circulated and the brilliance faded, Liang Yi and Su Youyi then realized that what was hidden under this divine light were actually phantasms of sect members, identical to those seen in the Secret Realm’s Great Formation before.

Only at this moment, they were all with closed eyes, standing rigidly in front of Liang Yi and others.

"These are the cultivators who were severely injured in defending against the Abyss for the sect, who, in their last moments of life, invested their Divine Souls into the Taihua Xiyi Bell for the future of the sect," Purple Xuanbu spoke solemnly, looking at the residual souls still in their slumber.

"Just as the Taihua Xiyi Bell could not avoid the erosion by the Time River, how could they? Now, they only have some extremely residual souls left, able to give their last bit of warmth to the sect without taking vigorous actions."

"They don’t want to die silently and without any consciousness inside the Huaxi Yi Bell."

Liang Yi and Su Youyi exchanged a look, a deep respect forming in their hearts for those who still strive for the sect’s inheritance even as residual souls.

Both of them turned solemn and paid respects to the sleeping residual souls.

"Afterward, I will create mechanical puppets using some materials to house them, and after awakening them, let them begin the normal operation of the sect."

"Senior Zi has worked hard." Liang Yi respectfully clasped his hands towards Zi Xuan Bu, feeling guilty as if he was just a hands-off shopkeeper.

"Sect Leader is too polite. This old body can still contribute to the sect all thanks to Sect Leader’s blessing, you don’t have to feel guilty," Zi Xuan Bu quickly turned sideways, waving his hand to decline the respect.

Seeing Zi Xuan Bu’s resolute expression, Liang Yi did not insist further.

"Lil’ Junior Sister, would you like to join the Purple Cloud Sect too?"

"Eh? Can I?" Su Youyi was somewhat surprised upon hearing this.

She actually wanted to stand together with her senior brother, but unlike him, she had no special significance towards the Purple Cloud Sect, and thought that joining rashly might be inappropriate.

"No worries, for now, the Purple Cloud Sect only has old me and the Sect Leader. As long as the Sect Leader agrees, it’s fine." Zi Xuan Bu, who was recalling the Mechanical Puppet Technique he learned from Old Man Bo Tiandao, smiled nonchalantly, not caring about this matter at all.

"Big Master also wants to go in meow!" Lord Orange, never weaker than anyone, with Liang Yi being the Sect Leader, wouldn’t he become dominant within the sect?

"Alright, alright, alright." Liang Yi laughed cheerfully as he watched the sect’s disciple count jump from 0 to 2 on his panel.

What even surprised Liang Yi was that Su Youyi and Lord Orange joining the sect even brought some luck to the sect.

"My goodness, this shouldn’t be stealing from the Ten Thousand Miles Mountain, right?"

Liang Yi dared not think too much about it; Lord Orange joining the Purple Cloud Sect is definitely something the Grand Saint of Nine Spirits would not care about, but stealing some luck could be a trivial or serious issue.

As for his little junior sister and himself at the Taoist Sect, despite having three characters known as lucky children, other areas were indeed lacking; he never felt any enhancement from the sect’s luck while he was at Youdao Mountain.

A big sad face indeed!

Casually opening the player forum, he saw that there were only three to five days left until public beta. He had just asked Senior Zi, and those extremely rare materials that he lacked were all in stock at the Purple Cloud Sect.

Following the excited junior sister and Lord Orange touring the entirety of the Purple Cloud Sect, Liang Yi pondered what he should do next.

In three to five days when players begin their beta test, he could offer Bai Xiaomo and Ju Xiaobei a choice to see whether they would go to Complete Heaven Sect or join their Purple Cloud Sect.

If they chose the Purple Cloud Sect, he could set them as examples, treat them a bit sweeter, letting them voluntarily guide the players on the forum, sending batches of leeks into the ground.

Liang Yi excitedly waved his hand: Perfect plan!

"Senior brother?" Su Youyi looked puzzled at her senior brother who suddenly got excited behind her.

"Cough cough, just remembered something delightful, got a bit too excited," Liang Yi quickly composed himself, trying to appear less thrilled.

"What did you remember, tell this big master meow!" Lord Orange took a few steps on the ground and began panting with exhaustion, finally catching the opportunity, leaped back onto Liang Yi’s shoulder.

"I remembered that your dried fish is almost finished, and I don’t plan to buy it for you anymore." A mischievous smile appeared on Liang Yi’s face, giving Lord Orange a taste of human malice.

"Meow?!" Lord Orange, so furious he reverted to speaking in cat language, started spitting cat speech.

"This silly kid must have some cat disease."

Flinging the frenzied Lord Orange to one side, Liang Yi moved two steps forward and took hold of the giggling junior sister.

"What are you doing, in front of all these people?" Su Youyi instinctively shrank her shoulders looking around, with a blushing face she quietly complained, yet the sweetness in her heart couldn’t help but turn into a smile on her face.

"There are no other people here." Liang Yi held his junior sister’s tender, smooth hand tightly, smiling brightly.

"Even if there were people around, haven’t they seen Daoist partners holding hands?"

Su Youyi gently punched her senior brother’s arm, her pretty face blushing almost like a ripe peach.

Looking at his junior sister emanating an astonishing charm, Liang Yi’s heart couldn’t help but beat faster. At that moment, the shy, head-lowered junior sister appeared like the moon veiled by clouds, inciting an irresistible itch in his heart to reach out and part the haze to glimpse the true face of the moon.

Liang Yi thought this, and he did this, even more boldly.

Su Youyi’s long eyelashes trembled slightly, her gem-like, crystal clear eyes suddenly widened, her breathing becoming a bit rapid because her senior brother’s ever captivating face suddenly pressed closer.
