Primordial World: Big shots are all my friends
Chapter 60, Surprise Inspection

Chapter 60: Chapter 60, Surprise Inspection

The woman proudly said: "I’m skilled in the art of Artifact Refining. After we absorb the Merit Power, I can coat the ID with gold using my skills. Externally, it looks unchanged, unnoticed unless looked at very closely.

Moreover, since the ID is in our hands, it’s already ours. We are just absorbing the Merit Power within it without causing any damage. Don’t you think that’s reasonable?"

The others nodded repeatedly, agreeing that it made perfect sense.

In the Primordial World where Witch Demons abound and the strong are numerous, they usually secluded themselves in cultivation to avoid karma and catastrophe, thus they had only heard of the benefits of Merit Power but never possessed it. Now, with Merit Power before them, their greed was hard to conceal.

The wolf-headed youth suddenly smiled and said: "Moreover, I have already pledged myself to a senior brother of the Inner Sect. Even if I absorb this Merit Power, he can’t do anything to me."

The others’ eyes lit up. A senior brother of the Inner Sect? Indeed, we also have our own backing, they thought, feeling reassured and continuously nodding, saying, "Exactly!"

"Absolutely!"

"That makes sense."

...

The woman grinned and said: "Even if he discovers us, so what? We were personally chosen by our Master to be admitted into the sect. How could he oppose Master?"

The elderly man with grass on his head eagerly said: "Then we’ll rely on junior sister."

The woman proudly smiled: "Don’t worry! Leave it to me, it’ll be just the same."

After cheering each other up, they felt very reassured and sat down with their IDs, slowly absorbing the Merit Power into their bodies, showing expressions of enjoyment.

Moments later, the woman got up and walked outside.

The Wolf Demon suddenly opened his eyes and asked: "Junior Sister, where are you going?"

The woman naturally said: "Of course, to help other junior brothers and sisters absorb Merit Power. It’s too conspicuous if it’s just us."

The Wolf Demon realized and said: "That’s right, you always think things through, junior sister."

The grass-headed elder, after absorbing the Merit Power and his face glowing with satisfaction, stood up laughing and said: "Junior Sister, wait a moment, let’s first restore our IDs to their original state first."

The others also looked towards the woman.

The woman smiled broadly and said: "Okay!"

Such incidents were not rare on Upper Pure Peak, where thousands of disciples were admitted at once and not a few lacked firm convictions, especially when gathered together, comforting each other, they swiftly felt justified and could not contain themselves.

...

The next morning, before dawn, a majestic and grand voice resounded over Upper Pure Peak: "All Outer Disciples assemble, anyone absent will be expelled from the sect."

In a valley behind the mountain, Duobao was meditating with his three confidants.

Long-Eared Ding Guangxian, Lingya Immortal, and Qiu Shouxian suddenly opened their eyes and unconsciously looked towards Duobao.

After hesitating, Long-Eared Ding Guangxian asked: "Senior brother, shall we go?"

Duobao, still with closed eyes and unmoving like a mountain, slowly spoke: "Didn’t you hear what he said? All Outer Disciples, which naturally includes you."

The three people stood up, bowed, and immediately turned towards the outside.

In front of Qingzi Lake, Bai Jin stood with his hands behind his back, secretly praying in his heart that many Outer Disciples had absorbed the Merit Power. You are all heroes in your own right, all heavenly favored, destined to be eagles soaring proudly, destined to be Divine Dragons distinguished among others, how could you submit to my constraints?!

One by one, black silhouettes flew out from the darkness of the night and stood silently before the tranquil Qingzi Lake, a sense of unease subtly rising in some of their hearts.

Bai Jin turned around to face them and said: "Shi Ji, start the roll call. Those who are absent will all be expelled from the sect."

Shi Ji floated forward, reached out a hand and two bright beams of light descended from the sky, casting two huge bright spots.

Shi Ji read aloud: "Outer Disciple number three, Long-Eared Ding Guangxian~"

Long-Eared Ding Guangxian flew out from the crowd, bowed calmly, and watched Shi Ji. For a moment, he couldn’t figure out what Bai Jin really intended, so he could only heighten his alertness.

Shi Ji said: "Show your ID for identity verification."

Long-Eared Ding Guangxian was stunned. Can’t my presence prove my identity? Why do I need an ID to prove it?! He complained internally but did not argue. With a stretch of his hand, a noble and splendid green ID appeared.

Shi Ji nodded and smiled, "Please, junior brother, stand under the light source to the left."

Long-Eared Ding Guangxian turned and flew to the left, standing under the light source.

In the dark crowd, many Immortals and Demons’ faces changed drastically. Check identity? Couldn’t it be exposed!

Shi Ji continued, "Outer Disciple Ling Ya Immortal!"

Ling Ya Immortal stepped forward, bowed, and took out his identity card.

Shi Ji glanced at it, nodded, and said, "Stand on the left as well!"

Ling Ya Immortal, equally confused, flew to the left and stood in the light source.

"Outer Disciple Qiu Shouxian!"

"Outer Disciple Gu Liang Fairy."

Qiu Shouxian and Gu Liang also passed the verification one after another and stood under the light source on the left.

Shi Ji continued, "Outer Disciple Red Maple~"

A handsome man in orange-red clothing flew out, nervously bowing ninety degrees and said, "Greetings, Senior Sister!"

Shi Ji raised an eyebrow, so nervous? She spoke, "Take out your identity card!"

Red Maple hesitated, then slowly took out his identity card. The light blue jade was rimmed with gold thread, showing his three-dimensional image with a description beside it.

Name: Red Maple.

Mentor: Second Generation Seventh Disciple of Jie Sect Outer Disciples.

Species: Red Maple Tree.

Native place: Cloud Sea Gorge.

Current residence: Upper Pure Peak on Kunlun Mountain.

The identity card also had a gold rim, but lacked that sense of luxury and nobility.

Shi Ji nodded, flatly stated, "You stand on the right!"

Red Maple quickly bowed, nervously and fearfully said, "Senior Sister, I was wrong! I dare not again. From now on, I will follow the commands of my senior brothers and sisters, please have mercy this time, Senior Sister."

Shi Ji smiled slightly and said, "Junior brother, it’s nothing serious, just go stand over there for now. It’s just a count."

Red Maple felt slightly relieved, deeply bowed again and said, "Thank you, Senior Sister!" He flew to the right and anxiously stood under the right light source.

On the left, Long-Eared Ding Guangxian, Ling Ya Immortal, Qiu Shouxian, and others all changed their faces, shocked that Bai Jin was indeed checking this and even more shocked that there were actually people daring enough to greedily absorb the Merit Power from their identity cards. Were they all fools?!

"Outer Disciple Huang Daxian."

"Outer Disciple Thousand-Eyed Immortal."

...

Shi Ji named one by one, each Outer Disciple came forward for identification, then stood in the left or right light source.

More and more Outer Disciples made their choices, the group on the right grew larger, and they became more reassured. Some even started smiling, although there wasn’t a law to not hold the majority accountable, that’s what everyone was thinking.

Just before dawn, the last Outer Disciple was identified. The number of people on each side was not very different — over eight hundred on the left and over six hundred on the right.

Bai Jin felt a sense of regret rising in his heart, still too few! You have really disappointed me.

Shi Ji turned and walked to Bai Jin’s side, "Senior brother, all have been counted, no one is absent."

Bai Jin regretfully said, "It turns out everyone came indeed."

All the Outer Disciples who paid attention to Bai Jin felt a chill in their hearts; this terrifying senior brother actually hoped that some wouldn’t come, was he planning to make an example of someone?!

Bai Jin surveyed everyone and leisurely said, "The Peak of Immortals is holy, the most proud approach to Tongtian, cutting through the heavens to seize the Tao, who can compare?!"
