nNOTE - There was a hiccup in the uploads, please read CHAPTER 81 which wasn't uploaded by mistake. Thank you.

nAs soon as the disciples learned about the hand, they started making excuses and left the place. Only Ning was left there standing. He didn't fear losing his arm, so he was going to do this which didn't take a lot of time.

nOther ones were not fit for him.

n

"Are you still going to join even after learning all of this?

" the girl asked.

n

"Yes, please,

" Ning said.

n

"Very well. Give me your identification, I will register you,

" the girl said with a weird look in her eyes. She quickly registered him and said with a sly smile,

"Congratulations. You just landed the easiest job in the sect.

"

n

"Easiest? What?

" Ning was confused.

"How is such a dangerous task be easy? Uh… Sister

" Ning asked.

n

"The name is Soria. Rekiel here will tell you the rest, go with him,

" Soria said.

n

"Okay…

" Ning said and started following Rekiel.

n

"Haha, good job on not running away brother. You got one of the easiest jobs in the sect,

" Rekiel said.

n

"What do you mean by easy? Wasn't it supposed to be very hard? Were you lying?

" Ning asked.

n

"Hehe, of course, brother. You are new here right?

" Rekiel asked.

n

"Yes,

" Ning said.

n

"Then you might not know this, but every month the sect gives each of the sections a little budget to get their job done. Ours is the lowest of the three. So, ever since a few years ago, Sister Soria took over the place and started scaring away any newcomers from joining the place. After that, each member of the Beast Feeding group got a little more pay.

"

n

"While our budget was low, with very few people to work with, we actually get more money than most high-level seniors here. Haha, you really did a good job not running away,

" Rekiel said.

n

"Wait, so it's not really dangerous? Then what happened to your arm?

" Ning asked.

n

"This?

" Rekiel said as he showed his stump once more and said,

"haha, I was born with this. Sister Soria uses it to scare away the disciples now,

" Rekiel said.

n

"So, the talk about the beasts being dangerous while hungry was also a lie then?

" Ning asked.

n

"Kinda. They are more agitated than usual when they are hungry, but that doesn't mean they will outright attack us. They are usually very docile even when they are hungry. The Beast Care and Beast Training sections do a very good job after all,

" Rekiel said.

nNing was shocked at what sort of a scam was being run here.

n

"What is the budget we get for the Beast Feeding section?

" he asked.

n

"Around 1200 coins a month. After spending around 500 coins on the food for the beasts, the people here are usually left with 120 gold coins. Well, 100 now that you've joined us too,

" Rekiel joined.

n'Nope, not a scam. It's a genuine business I am part of now.' Ning changed his views the moment he heard the money he would earn in a month.

nThat was around 500 million energy worth of gold right there. And he really didn't want to waste the energy on anything he didn't want.

n

"So, when do I start working?

" Ning asked.

n

"Hmm… let's see. Since we only have 6 people who actually do the feeding and sister Soria who stays outside to fool the other people, some of us will have to repeat days.

n

"Why don't you come in 5 days. You will work the 5th and 6th day after that. Although I say you will work 2 days, it's more like you have to be here early in the morning at 7 am, during the day at 2 pm, and at night around 8 pm.

"

n

"It takes around an hour to feed the entire group of beasts, so as long as you take 3 hours out of the 2 days each, you will be done,

" Rekiel said.

n

"Wait, so I don't have any task right now?

" Ning asked in surprise.

n

"Nope. See you in 5 days. Make sure you remember to come, however. If you miss even a single feeding time, we will deduct 10 coins from that,

" Rekiel said.

n

"Sure sure, I won't forget,

" Ning said and left the place. He said farewell to the sister Soria at the front desk and went back to his room in the outer sect.

nThe next 4 days were the same. Every night, he would cultivate his Qi and get closer to a breakthrough. At the same time, he would also use up his mental strength to make it stronger.

nNight would be out in the open during the night, free to do whatever it wanted. Ning usually let it out of the window after making sure to tell it to do nothing inside the sect itself.

nNight would go to the forest at night to hunt food for itself. Ever since Ning stopped making snakeskin using his energy, he needed to give Night some other food from the sect.

nUnfortunately, he was broke right now. Fortunately, Night could feed himself. With the amazing speed Night flew around in, he wasn't worried about anyone noticing him flying around.

nIn the morning, he would go perform Sun God's Morning Cleansing technique to further strengthen himself. However, this was going very slowly and he would soon need to improve upon it.

n

"After the cap doubles, I will get it all,

" Ning thought. Once again, he had to let go of something so that he could focus on the cap.

nAfter that he would go back to his room and cultivate once again. 4 days had gone by and this was the 5th day. Ever since last night, he had stopped feeling the Qi around him when he cultivated.

nThat meant, that breakthrough was around the corner. He forced his body to cultivate, despite it being unable to gather Qi anymore. And in the end, with a large thump inside of him, he felt that he had broken through.

nFinally, after over 164 years, he had reached Qi Condensation 3rd Realm.
