Chapter 41: Outer Sect - Hundred Beasts Peak!

As everyone knows, there are three peaks for outer sect disciples in Tianxuan Sect: Little Bamboo (Xiao Zhu) Peak, Little Cloud (Xiao Yun) Peak, and Little Forest (Xiao Lin) Peak. However, Ye Xiyun was now assigned to a fourth peak beyond these three, known as Hundred Beasts Peak.

Three peaks for the outer sect, but actually four? Makes sense, right?

Standing in front of the pig farm at Hundred Beasts Peak, Ye Xiyun, surrounded by a dozen or so miscellaneous disciples, felt somewhat deceived by the Sect Master and Elders.

What happened to the treatment of a direct disciple?

Are direct disciples sent here to raise pigs?

The so-called Fourth Peak of the Three Peaks, Hundred Beasts Peak, seemed more like a Miscellaneous Disciples Peak.

However, Ye Xiyun's perception was not entirely his fault, as he was not aware of the origin of Hundred Beasts Peak.

Originally, when the Tianxuan Sect was established, four peaks were allocated for outer sect disciples, and Hundred Beasts Peak was one of them. However, this peak was special, usually assigned to disciples who chose body cultivation, typically those with poorer spiritual roots.

The initial intention of the sect was to provide a direction for cultivation to those disciples who joined Tianxuan Sect but had lower spiritual roots, as body cultivation was more friendly to them compared to Qi cultivation.

Unexpectedly, over time, it became a notion that only disciples with low spiritual roots and no talent were sent to Hundred Beasts Peak. As a result, fewer and fewer people were willing to come to this peak, and some who were assigned there often left after a few days.

Seeing the distorted development of Hundred Beasts Peak, Sect Master Yun Xiao later simply handed it over to the Fourth Elder for management. Fourth Elder then turned it into a demon beast breeding farm, planting low-level spiritual herbs or building breeding facilities for low-level demon animals like chickens, ducks, geese, dogs, cats, pigs, horses, donkeys, and rabbits.

Over time, Hundred Beasts Peak came to resemble a place more suited for miscellaneous disciples.

Now, as a disciple of Fourth Elder, Ye Xiyun was naturally not assigned to the other three peaks. After all, Hundred Beasts Peak was Fourth Elder’s territory. Ye Xiyun was appointed as the head of the pig breeding farm at Hundred Beasts Peak, overseeing a dozen miscellaneous disciples.

After an initial period of dejection, as Ye Xiyun gradually learned about the history and current operation of Hundred Beasts Peak, his mood began to improve.

Why, you might ask? First, as the head of the pig farm, Ye Xiyun practically didn’t need to do anything; the miscellaneous disciples would take care of raising the demon pigs intended for meat. Second, on Hundred Beasts Peak, as a disciple appointed by Fourth Elder, almost no one would bother him, and he didn’t need to complete the fixed sect tasks monthly like disciples on other peaks. Third, the peak was filled with various demon beast meats and low-level spiritual herbs – wasn’t it all up to Ye Xiyun how he wanted to indulge?

Although Hundred Beasts Peak had a so-so reputation outside, Ye Xiyun thought, "Who cares?" It's a great place for him!

Ye Xiyun felt this was the perfect place for cultivation he had been dreaming of.

Moreover, he was concerned about how to accommodate Big Sister Boar and her family, as well as the Silver-Armed Demon Ape tribe that had returned with him. Hundred Beasts Peak was the perfect solution. Not only could he house them there, but he also didn't need to manage them personally.

Perfect!

"Now that I'm the head of the farm," Ye Xiyun coughed and addressed the miscellaneous disciples waiting for his command, "things at the Big Egg Pig Meat Farm will continue as usual. Just keep up with your feeding duties. Understood?"

"Yes, Head Ye!" the miscellaneous disciples chorused. After all, Ye Xiyun's status was higher than theirs, and they still needed his approval for their monthly cultivation resources.

"Alright, go back to work then. Let's aim for a new high in production at the Big Egg Pig Meat Farm." Ye Xiyun waved them off with a slogan, then muttered under his breath, "What a weird name, 'Big Egg'? Doesn’t that sound odd?"

"Head Ye, the name of the pig farm has a story," a miscellaneous disciple explained, hearing Ye Xiyun's comment. "When the farm started, there were only a few dozen sows. It expanded thanks to a robust level-one demon wild boar brought in by Fourth Elder as a breeding boar. That boar single-handedly impregnated all the sows for three consecutive years, expanding our farm from a few dozen to nearly a thousand pigs. To commemorate this significant contributor, the farm was named after its key trait."

"I see," Ye Xiyun nodded, a hint of respect in his eyes. Looking at the farm's name, he nodded again, "Appropriate indeed, very appropriate!"

After sending off the miscellaneous disciples, Ye Xiyun went to his new residence, a house with its own courtyard.

The courtyard was surrounded by a bamboo fence with morning glory vines, and a path of broken stones led deeper into the yard. Outside the yard were lush forests and bamboo, rustling in the wind – it indeed seemed like a perfect place for seclusion.

Walking along the stone path into the yard, Ye Xiyun saw a man standing there.

"Master?" Ye Xiyun was surprised to see the Fourth Elder in his yard.

"You're here?" Fourth Elder nodded at Ye Xiyun. "You must have understood your position at Hundred Beasts Peak by now. Since you're free now, I'll take this opportunity to teach you about the path of cultivation. This will be your formal introduction to the immortal gates, and I'll clear up any confusion you have about cultivation."

"Thank you, Master!" Ye Xiyun's eyes lit up, and he quickly bowed in gratitude.

"No need for formalities between us, have a seat," Fourth Elder said, sitting down at a stone table and chair, and Ye Xiyun promptly sat opposite him.

"Now that you are my disciple, let me tell you about the history of Tianxuan Sect, the strength of the body cultivation lineage, and some basic knowledge about cultivation," The Fourth Elder began.

Ye Xiyun nodded. Although he had Hua Zhongxian, an otherworldly cheat, as his guide, Hua Zhongxian had not yet fully adapted to this world, like a foreign game not yet localized. Ye Xiyun truly needed a teacher to explain the cultivation system and knowledge of this world to him.
