"Greetings, honored ones!"
Jiang Zhi and his companions quickly bowed, respectfully waiting for everyone to emerge.
Due to the large number of people, besides the simple distinction between men and women, everyone had their own unique style.
There were women as beautiful as celestial maidens.
There were also incredibly ugly, uncouth men.
Some appeared refined and cultured, like humble scholars, while others looked fierce and menacing, like supreme villains.
Some had the appearance of complete ruffians, while others possessed extraordinary bearing.
In short, this group...
Even Yi Feng couldn't help but remark that they were like the 108 heroes from his previous life - all sorts of characters were present.
The ground was littered with sunflower seed shells, peanut shells, and all kinds of garbage scattered everywhere.
"Farewell, honored ones."
Jiang Zhi and his companions politely bid them goodbye, and after everyone had walked away, he quickly instructed, "Let's all clean up together!"
With that said, Jiang Zhi began moving.
Li Hongtian and Huang Qingtian followed suit.
Just as the two were about to take action, a discarded sunflower seed on the ground caught Li Hongtian's attention.
Li Hongtian stared at it blankly.
He picked it up and examined it in his hand.
He felt that this seed was somewhat unusual.
"Come on, Old Li, you're examining a single sunflower seed that carefully?"
Huang Qingtian commented from the side.
Li Hongtian ignored him and peeled open the seed shell, swallowing it.
He felt a powerful force surge into his body, instantly flooding his dantian.
He immediately advanced by one minor realm.
Huang Qingtian stared at him with wide eyes.
Huang Qingtian realized what happened and hurriedly searched the ground. Though he couldn't find any smelly sunflower seeds, he did find some of the garbage that these disciples had casually discarded.
After careful examination, these pieces of trash turned out to be at least Mid-level Immortal Artifacts, and some were even top-tier immortal artifacts.
The two exchanged glances, their eyes full of shock, almost embracing each other in excitement.
Since following Jiang Zhi, they had been hoping day and night for a chance to enter the island and gain some opportunities.
This gate-keeping job was quite profitable!
Outside the teleportation point.
The disciples stopped.
"Senior Sister, what did Master mean?"
"Yes, Master wants us to make achievements but also pay attention to our cultivation level, what exactly is the situation?"
Inevitably, everyone turned their gaze toward Su Yunyun.
"Isn't Master's meaning obvious enough?"
Su Yunyun explained: "Master wants us to return to simplicity!"
"Return to simplicity?"
Su Yunyun lifted her chin slightly and said: "Master's realm is beyond our imagination."
"Previously, we thought that becoming a regional lord or monopolizing something would satisfy Master, but we were too vulgar in our thinking."
"Judging from Master's interactions with Junior Brother Chi Yitong, he probably doesn't want us to seize power or build empires, but rather to settle down and become ordinary Earth Immortals."
"At the same time, he wants us to shine and contribute as Earth Immortals."
"Those of you who know a bit about Master's past will understand what I mean," Su Yunyun continued. "Back then, didn't Master live as a mortal in Pingjiang City?"
"He wants us to immerse ourselves in mortal life while maintaining our Earth Immortal status!"
"This is why we never received Master's praise before - we had misunderstood Master's intentions."
Everyone had a sudden realization.
Everyone sighed with understanding, finally having a clear goal.
"So, everyone should think carefully about what to do next!" Su Yunyun called out.
All the fellow disciples fell into contemplation.
"What about you, Big Senior Brother?"
Zhong Qing scratched his head, "I'll just go around training for now."
Su Yunyun nodded, then turned to Chi Yitong and said: "Then Junior Brother Chi, you're definitely going to open a restaurant, right!"
"Yes, Senior Sister."
Chi Yitong nodded, then remembered something and approached Fang Zaowu, who ranked fortieth.
"What can I do for you, Senior Brother?"
Fang Zaowu quickly asked.
"Well, Brother Fang, you've inherited some of Master's crafting techniques and are quite skilled in manufacturing. I'm planning to open a restaurant and need some equipment, so I was wondering if you could help out," Chi Yitong said with a smile.
"Oh, that's no problem at all, though the items I create are only Mid-level Immortal Artifacts or top-tier ones, not reaching Master's level of returning to simplicity. As long as Senior Brother doesn't mind," Fang Zaowu said with a smile.
"How could I mind? Thank you for the trouble, Junior Brother," Chi Yitong smiled.
"It's no trouble, I have plenty."
Fang Zaowu smiled lightly and tossed Chi Yitong a storage ring containing various items, including tables and chairs.
He then called out to the other fellow disciples: "Senior and Junior Brothers, anyone who needs items for opening shops or other purposes can get them from me!"
Many fellow disciples gathered around Fang Zaowu.
Meanwhile, other fellow disciples were discussing what they should do while also saying their farewells.
"Alright, fellow disciples, let's keep in touch regularly, and if any of us encounters difficulties, we must help each other."
"Goodbye, Big Senior Brother."
"Farewell, Senior Sister."
"See you, Junior Brother."
Everyone bid their farewells, then transformed into streaks of light, dispersing in all directions.
