[Accumulated recruitment of 500 disciples; Reward: 5,000 Merit Points (already granted)]

[Establish one Vice-Sect Leader; Reward: 100 Merit Points (already granted)]

[Establish two Hall Chiefs; Reward: 100 Merit Points]

[Establish…]

…

Under the players' planning, the Righteous Door solemnly held its first disciple recruitment ceremony, sponsored by Shunrou shampoo.

Under the stunned gaze of the many Taoists at Return to Dragon View, carefully crafted advertisements played one after another. One moment it was car advertisements, the next shampoo, then mineral water, and there were even personal care product advertisements—promising what could be done after wearing them—that made Jiang Yuru blush.

It was a dazzling and overwhelming array.

There wasn't any deep-seated hatred among the players; they couldn't care less about the natives' opinions. On the spaceship, the Beggar Gang and players from all sects had already reached an agreement, forming an Advertisement Alliance to make money together.

After all, the things Lin, the Storekeeper, had been doing were often alienating, creating more and more enemies. The players in the Beggar Gang were also worried that Lin Bai might lose control and cut off everyone's source of wealth!

Therefore, they were also secretly building bridges and paving roads for the Righteous Door, eliminating various hidden dangers, providing Lin Bai with backup while making various preparations for unifying the world.

In the minds of the players, they were the ones in control. Nominally, Lin Bai was the Sect Leader of the Righteous Door, but in their eyes, he was nothing more than an NPC who taught skills. Moreover, everything Lin Bai had done, from start to finish, had benefited them.

…

As night fell, Return to Dragon View had completely taken on the appearance of the Righteous Door. The former Taoists of Return to Dragon View received new identities and positions.

Lin Bai's Merit Points had broken the five-digit mark. In just one day, his Merit Points caught up with the Luck Value accumulated by the Beggar Gang over nearly a month of development.

It had to be said that with good groundwork laid in the early stages, the efficiency of task completion was greatly increased.

…

[Though the sparrow is small, it has all its vital organs. Congratulations, you now possess a sect of your own! However, your sect is not yet well-known. Please find ways to increase your sect's fame.

Task requirements: Ensure 100,000 people know of the Righteous Door's existence.

Reward: Golden Light Array (Sect protection array; upon activation, it can release golden light to resist invading enemies)]

Another fame-boosting task? Lin Bai grumbled to himself, not taking this task too seriously. The system didn't specify that he had to become famous in the Cultivation World. By notifying the Beggar Gang to run a wave of advertisements in Qian City and Jiamucheng, the task could be easily completed without much extra effort.

…

「That night.」

The players, having received their new identity badges, spontaneously began cultivating their new skills. Their talent for learning things instantly and understanding them with a single attempt once again stunned the Taoists of Return to Dragon View.

Daojing and the others deeply realized the terror of the sky-born and the importance of laws. They understood that if there were no control by laws, the sky-born's growth speed meant that, in just a few years, there would be no room left for them to survive.

After the disciple recruitment ceremony concluded, Jiang Yuru, Zhao Yi, and others couldn't wait to take the remaining Beggar Gang disciples and their own sect disciples back to Qian City. The Cultivation World was about to undergo a massive change, one far beyond the control of minor figures like themselves. Delivering the news back to their sects even an hour earlier would allow their sects to prepare a day sooner.

Since Lin Bai's appearance, the situation had been changing drastically almost daily. If they continued at their previous pace, the fate that befell Return to Dragon View would likely be their own. Lin Bai's actions were far too unpredictable.

…

「For the next two to three days.」

Lin Bai was much quieter. He spent most of his time at Return to Dragon View, researching farming, Artifact Refining, Alchemy, and supervising Dumbelldore to master the 'Descending Dragon Tenth Strike'.

Return to Dragon View was a legitimate sect with abundant Spiritual Energy. 'Huilong Jue' and 'Dragon Rising Skill' were its core cultivation methods. Its offensive skills included a set called 'Wandering Dragon Startling Swan' and another called 'Reversing Wind Sword Technique', as well as the Fu Seal Art...

The Fu Seal Art was the most difficult to practice. Only those with Golden Core Cultivation could draw simple Talisman Inscriptions such as the Shield Armor Talisman, Speedy Seal, Fierce Sun Seal, and Healing Seal, and even then, the success rate was merely two or three out of ten. Only with Nascent Soul Cultivation could one draw more powerful offensive Talisman Inscriptions like the Fire Dragon Symbol, Exorcising Ghosts Seal, or Wind and Rain Curse. However, these Talisman Inscriptions had extremely high material requirements. Within Return to Dragon View, only Daoist Dao Xu could draw them, and his stock was not large.

Speaking of which, Dao Xu's ability to become the View Master was also related to his excellent talent. The old Taoist was not only the sole Nascent Soul cultivator among their trio of martial brothers but was also remarkably talented in Talisman Inscriptions. After attaining the Nascent Soul realm, he masterfully acquired the ability to draw Talisman Inscriptions in the void. Although he could only draw the Fire Dragon Symbol in the void, this single skill was enough for him to contend with several major sects for many years without falling into disadvantage.

It was only because Lin Bai didn't follow conventional paths; otherwise, even ten Lin Bais combined would be no match for this old Taoist.

The Taoists of Qing Yu's generation were far inferior, possessing basically no talent in Talisman Inscriptions, so they mostly practiced 'Wandering Dragon Startling Swan' and 'Reversing Wind Sword Technique'.

The Taoists of Return to Dragon View were not skilled in Alchemy, nor were they proficient in Artifact Refining. However, Alchemy Rooms and Artifact Refining rooms were still established within the sect, where some Taoists studied Dan Fang and the art of Artifact Refining. All Cultivation Sects faced constraints regarding Pill Medicine and Artifact Refining, and every sect was actually trying to break through the technological blockade of the Pill and Spirit Sect and the Tool Refining Sect.

Over the years, Return to Dragon View had not developed any remarkable Dan Fang, but they could achieve self-sufficiency with the basic healing Revitalizing Pill.

Lin Bai examined the Dan Fang for Return to Dragon View's Revitalizing Pill. The ratio of herbal medicines was obviously incorrect; the reason it had any healing efficacy was entirely due to the addition of spiritual herbs. Lin Bai's Peerless Divine Doctor System's Dan Fang development was stuck due to a lack of spiritual herbs. The purpose of him establishing a sect was precisely to cultivate these spiritual herbs, facilitating further research on Dan Fang and the completion of system tasks.

Although the Taoists of Return to Dragon View were not skilled in Alchemy, there were spiritual fields within the sect, and their cultivation of medicinal herbs was quite good.

Thus, it was a fortunate turn of events for Lin Bai.

While Lin Bai was inspecting the Spiritual Field, he casually pulled out a weed and, in doing so, activated a new system: The Strongest Farming System in History.

The Farming System claimed it could cultivate worldly prosperity.

Adhering to the principle that "every little helps," Lin Bai assigned the task of researching Dan Fang to Miracle Doctor Flower. He then honorably switched his career to that of a farmer. His leisure time was spent in the spiritual fields, grinding out boasting tasks from the Great Language System with the players responsible for cultivation, while simultaneously working on tasks from the Farming System.

"...Don't underestimate farming. When I was five years old, in the Spiritual Field of the Righteous Door, I planted a grain of rice that fell on the ground while I was eating. And guess what? That single cooked grain of rice, under my meticulous care, incredibly grew into a towering rice stalk, soaring into the clouds! The spiritual grains it produced were enough for everyone in the Righteous Door, up and down, to eat for ten years and still not finish..."

[Reclaiming Wasteland; Reward: Soil Identification Technique]

"Weeding in the Righteous Door isn't ordinary weeding. I have a senior martial brother who enjoys farming. One day, while weeding, he unexpectedly comprehended a Taoist divine skill called the 'Move Grass Technique'. With a mere thought, he could transfer the weeds from his own field into someone else's Spiritual Field, instantly draining the nutrients from their medicinal herbs—a skill specifically for destructive purposes..."

[Weeding: Reward: Farmer's Hoe]

[Sowing: Reward: Weather Forecasting]

[Fertilizing: Reward: Fertilizer Composition Technique]

…

Lin Bai had once thought that bragging was his forte and that he could easily complete these tasks, but he overlooked the fact that this was an Immortal World, filled with all sorts of wondrous immortal techniques. Consequently, some of the statements he considered wildly exaggerated could actually be realized in this world.

By the time Lin Bai realized this, two days had passed since the boasting task had begun, and it still wasn't completed. Consequently, he had to intensify his boasting. It wasn't until early on the third day that he finally obtained the reward for the boasting task: the Sound Transmission Technique.

During these three days, Lin Bai had made other gains as well. The Farming System awarded him a complete set of farmer's tools, including a hoe, sickle, rake, and so on.

Lin Bai had initially thought the Farming System was nothing special. However, on the morning of the third day, the Farming System unexpectedly awarded him a spell: the Spring Breeze Turns Into Rain Technique!

The Spring Breeze Turns Into Rain Technique could create a rain cloud out of thin air, nourishing the land and increasing the growth rate of crops.

This spell could only be used on plants, but Lin Bai quickly realized the growth potential of the Farming System. After the Everything Has Shortcomings System, this was the second system to directly reward him with a spell...

Controlling plants!

If there's a spell that accelerates plant growth, there must be one that destroys plants.

When confronting sects like Medicine King Valley, a single spell could destroy all their spiritual fields, delivering a devastating blow!

Moreover, a spell that accelerates plant growth might not be unusable in other areas...
