Chu Xisheng couldn’t help but blink.

He knew this must be a special favor from the Formless Divine Sect for him. What about Chu Ming? Did he also get unlimited access for nine hundred and ninety-nine days?

Without showing any emotion, he borrowed the fourth, fifth, and sixth diagrams of the “Vengeful Intent True Diagram,” as well as the one through thirteen layers of the “Nine Wheel Divine Chart.”

Sure enough, he didn’t spend any Merit.

However, the subsequent content was locked, likely requiring Chu Xisheng’s cultivation to advance further or for him to become a True Inheritor before he could access it.

The “Formless Skill” was also free, with unlimited access from the ninth to the twelfth layers.

Next, he borrowed the “Divine Wind Bright Mirror Blade,” “Phantom Cloud Trace,” and “Divine Thunder Truth Piercing Finger” from the ninth to the twelfth layers in one go.

This required Merit, and Chu Xisheng used up more than half of his accumulated Merit for just three days of borrowing each.

At this moment, Zong Lingwei kindly reminded him, “Junior Brother, you are quite talented. Half a year ago, you wrote the ‘Practical Annotation of White Horse Not Horse,’ which made this Secret Technique popular within our sect. You must have accumulated quite a bit of Merit by now. However, Merit is something to be used sparingly. It’s best to leave some for acquiring the sect’s Holy Artifacts. It’s enough to borrow one or two layers of a Cultivation Technique; there’s no need to get everything at once.”

Chu Xisheng thought that this was what he had originally intended.

But the Formless Divine Sect had given him so much—

The treatment was truly exceptional.

Chu Xisheng had already begun to take pride in his identity as a Formless disciple.

Seeing that he had finished exchanging for Martial Arts, Zong Lingwei took him to the Internal Affairs Office to pick out various household items.

—These were all essential daily necessities, as Chu Xisheng could not bring such things on board the ship.

Additionally, there was a Pill Furnace, an Artifact Furnace, and three Wolf Brushes. The Formless Divine Sect encouraged disciples to learn Artifact Refining, Alchemy, and talisman making.

He also received three servants and one Sword Slave to attend to his daily needs.

The servants were ordinary people who willingly joined the Formless Divine Sect as servants to obtain cultivation resources.

Chu Xisheng could claim up to eight servants, but since he had no money, he only took a cook and two sweepers.

The Miscellaneous Affairs Office also had numerous “Sword Slaves” and “Blade Slaves,” who were descendants of the Giant God’s race captured by the Formless Divine Sect, also called Powerful Warriors.

They were all enormously built, standing over two zhang tall, with strange and varied appearances. Their cultivation ranged from the seventh to sixth rank, possessing immense strength. Whether for fighting or manual labor, they were very capable.

Unfortunately, these Powerful Warriors also cost a lot to maintain, requiring a substantial amount of silver.

Chu Xisheng exchanged for only one Blade Slave to bolster his image.

“Next is your residence. The sect has specifically arranged for you to stay behind the Elder Council. It used to be the former residence of the Dominating Martial King Qin Muge, called ‘Sky Wave Residence.’ Since Qin Muge was expelled, it has remained unoccupied. The location is excellent, making daily cultivation of Primordial Skill and Magic highly effective. Furthermore, it’s just three li from the Elder Council, so any slight disturbance will bring the Great Elders to your aid immediately. The area is spacious enough to accommodate all your attendants. However, the rent for ‘Sky Wave Residence’ is quite steep, requiring fifty thousand demon silver every month. You are a Blood Vengeance Candidate, so the Sect Master and elders hold you in high regard but cannot break the rules for you alone.”

Zong Lingwei led Chu Xisheng towards the southern side.

At this moment, he remarked with deep emotion, “Living in the Capital City of Daning is already difficult, but residing in our Formless Divine Mountain is ten times harder! Even an ordinary disciple’s residence here costs at least twenty-five thousand demon silver. Even sharing a place requires ten thousand demon silver. But, Junior Brother, as the Flag Leader of the Iron Banner Gang in Jiangnan, you should be able to afford it.”

Chu Xisheng’s lips twitched slightly.

He knew that all the disciple residences in Formless Divine Mountain required payment.

The Formless Divine Mountain didn’t have a system to support disciples financially.

It was more like a university, offering disciples and martial cultivators the opportunity to learn Martial Arts Skills.

Therefore, everything here cost money or Merit, with no salaries or stipends provided.

To obtain cultivation resources, one had to join the border army, hunt giant god descendants and fierce beasts in the North, or gather spiritual medicine and mineral resources.

Another option was to work in the War Hall, Imperial Hall, Punishment Hall, or Mountain Patrol Hall of the Formless Divine Sect, where there were generous Merit and salaries.

The Formless Divine Sect stood against countless giant god descendants in the North of You State, protecting millions in the southern states of Shen Shan. There was no spare money to support idle individuals.

Formless Divine Mountain, connected from Earth Core to Nine Heavens, was the premier cultivation Holy Land of the current era. The limited area of just thirty li from the mountainside to the peak had to accommodate nearly twenty thousand martial cultivators of fifth grade and above.

Thus, every room and every Spirit Gathering Array within the rooms was extremely valuable.

However, fifty thousand demon silver per month was still too expensive.

The situation with the Iron Banner Gang wasn’t yet stable, and the iron mines at Mi Family Manor had only just started production, unable to provide much silver.

The small canal could only generate about two hundred thousand taels in dividends each month.

Chu Xisheng was about to refuse and ask Zong Lingwei for a different residence.

He then paused and looked ahead.

It was a courtyard near the southern cliff, about two mu in size, with an east-west wing structure containing several rooms, exquisitely built with pavilions and towers.

Chu Xisheng could see from a distance the plaque “Sky Wave Residence” hanging at the entrance.

But what really caught his attention was the person standing in front of Sky Wave Residence.

He saw that Zhoou Liangchen and Ji Qianqian, along with others, were already there with a large pile of his luggage.

Chu Yunyun stood at the entrance of Sky Wave Residence.

She looked up at the plaque above with an infinitely wistful gaze.
