Orthodox Leader Competition Rules

Mo Tianxiao and Zhou Muxi reached an agreement: he would do his best to help her when she needed it, and in return, she would do her utmost to assist him when he required help.

The relationship between the two was considered an alliance, unlike Blood Butcher, who was merely a subordinate too terrified to even breathe heavily in front of Zhou Muxi.

After all, Blood Butcher owed everything he had today to Zhou Muxi's single-handed cultivation. Mo Tianxiao and the others were different; everything they possessed came from their own hard work and had absolutely nothing to do with Zhou Muxi.

"Sister Nan, what happened today stays between you and me. Do not let a third person know under any circumstances."

Zhou Muxi looked at Mo Tianxiao with a gracious smile, but her eyes carried a clear warning.

Mo Tianxiao didn't mind at all. "Rest assured, I know what I'm doing."

"By the way, since I'm following you to do great things, what is our first move? With so many identities, your ambitions must be far beyond my imagination."

Zhou Muxi fell silent for a moment. "Let's put aside what I want for now. Our first goal is the Righteous Path Leader Competition in thirty years! We must help the Haoran Righteous Qi Sect claim the position of the leader!"

The title of the Righteous Path Leader carried immense prestige. If she could make the Haoran Righteous Qi Sect the leader of the righteous path, her gains would be maximized when she eventually took over the sect in the future.

"The Haoran Righteous Qi Sect has been suppressed by the Supreme Dao Sect for so many years. Can they really win this time?"

Although Mo Tianxiao didn't know exactly how this Righteous Path Leader Competition was fought, he knew that the Haoran Righteous Qi Sect had been stuck in second place for several consecutive terms.

This was enough to prove that the Supreme Dao Sect was slightly stronger than the Haoran Righteous Qi Sect in every aspect.

A smile curled the corners of Zhou Muxi's lips. "My plan has reached a critical juncture. In this competition, the Haoran Righteous Qi Sect must become the Righteous Path Leader. I have already made a guarantee to their Sect Master."

"I will be solely responsible for selecting the candidates for this competition. As long as we achieve victory and claim the title of leader, I will become the next Sect Master of the Haoran Righteous Qi Sect."

A flash of confidence crossed Zhou Muxi's eyes.

The old Sect Master of the Haoran Righteous Qi Sect was advanced in years. It was estimated that after this Righteous Path Leader Competition, he would choose to retire, and a new Sect Master would be elected immediately.

"So...? Sister, are you confident we can win for the Haoran Righteous Qi Sect?"

Mo Tianxiao seemed to have already guessed Zhou Muxi's plan.

For instance, utilizing the forces of the Great Zhou Dynasty and the Blood God Palace, alongside the Haoran Righteous Qi Sect, to select talents from all three factions to compete against the Supreme Dao Sect.

But would this really be enough to defeat the Supreme Dao Sect?

Could they be certain that their talents in every field could overcome the Supreme Dao Sect? Wouldn't the other side also invite outside help?

Zhou Muxi looked at Mo Tianxiao. "There is no absolute certainty, but our odds of winning are much greater than what the Haoran Righteous Qi Sect had before."

Mo Tianxiao nodded. "What are the events in the Righteous Path Leader Competition?"

To make the Supreme Dao Sect pay a price first, Mo Tianxiao decided to take this Righteous Path Leader Competition seriously and strive to dethrone the Supreme Dao Sect from its position as the head of the righteous path.

Zhou Muxi pondered for a moment before speaking in a deep voice, "Alchemy, artifact forging, array formations, talisman crafting, and combat power."

"The four competitions of alchemy, artifact forging, array formations, and talisman crafting are divided into low-level, mid-level, high-level, and top-level.

For each level, the various righteous factions can only send cultivators of the corresponding level to participate. The higher the level of the competition, the greater its weight in the final score.

I heard there used to be Saint-level competitions as well, but because Saint-level alchemists are now incredibly rare, and Saint-level artifact forgers, array masters, and talisman masters are virtually unheard of, the Saint-level competitions were canceled."

"As for the combat power competition, it ranges from the Qi Condensation realm all the way to the Saint realm, totaling eleven matches. Similarly, the higher the cultivation level of the match, the greater its weight."

After listening to Zhou Muxi's explanation, although Mo Tianxiao was still a bit confused, he roughly understood what the events were.

If that was the case, he should be able to help the Haoran Righteous Qi Sect score a few more points.

"By the way, can the same person participate in multiple events? For example, if someone is both a top-level alchemist and a top-level artifact forger, can they participate in both competitions?"

Since he wanted to mess with the Supreme Dao Sect, he had to crush them in every aspect and teach them a good lesson.

Zhou Muxi looked slightly surprised. "It is allowed, but such a situation is exceedingly rare."

"To possess both high cultivation and mastery in one powerful secondary profession is already uncommon. To achieve what you described, I'm afraid only those old monsters who have lived for countless years could possibly do it."

After all, cultivating a skill requires not only talent but also a vast amount of time. Most cultivators focus primarily on their cultivation. Unless they encounter a bottleneck in their cultivation, they rarely spend time on secondary professions.

Mo Tianxiao nodded. "I understand."

Just because others couldn't do it didn't mean he couldn't.

"Sister Muxi, you will probably participate in the Saint realm competition, right?"

"Yes. If it weren't for this competition, I wouldn't have suppressed my cultivation for over a hundred years."

Zhou Muxi's tone was calm, but her eyes were filled with absolute determination to win.

With her talent, she could have dashed for the Saint King realm long ago. If it weren't to help the Haoran Righteous Qi Sect win the massive score from the Saint realm level, she wouldn't have needed to do this.

Afterward, Mo Tianxiao and Zhou Muxi discussed a few more matters before finally ending their long conversation.

After Zhou Muxi left, Mo Tianxiao began to ponder.

There were still thirty years left. That should be enough.

The day after reaching the cooperation agreement with Zhou Muxi, Mo Tianxiao publicly announced that for the next thirty years, in order to hone his alchemy skills, he would offer the greatest discounts to any cultivator in the Great Zhou Dynasty who wanted pills refined.

Whether it was refining low-level pills or top-level pills, he would uniformly charge only a five percent fee. At the same time, regardless of whether their status was lowly or noble, anyone who wanted him to refine pills simply had to line up and bring their own materials.

This news spread like the wind and was soon known by cultivators throughout the entire Great Zhou Dynasty.

One by one, they were so excited that they traveled overnight to the Haoran Righteous Qi Sect to line up and seek Mo Tianxiao's alchemy services.

"Elder Nan is truly a fairy! To think she could get such a top-level alchemist to personally refine pills for us, and for only a five percent fee! This is going to put all the alchemists in the Great Zhou Dynasty out of a job!"

"Brothers, charge! The line is already backed up for over ten years! If we don't go now, it'll be too late!"

"Holy crap! To think that a mere Nascent Soul cultivator like me could see the day when a top-level alchemist refines pills for me! And it's all thanks to a fairy like Elder Nan. I'd be willing to give up ten years of my life for this!"

The cultivators of the world had suffered for far too long.

When Mo Tianxiao heard that in just half a month, the number of people seeking him for alchemy had formed a queue stretching thirty years into the future, his heart was filled with shock.

It was just a little discount. Was there a need to be this crazy?

He only wanted to earn some villain points.

However, he had underestimated the temptation of a top-level alchemist, as well as his own ability to casually refine pills with perfect pill veins.

In the past, let alone Nascent Soul cultivators, even Soul Formation and Profound Comprehension cultivators couldn't get a top-level alchemist to personally refine pills for them unless they possessed an incredibly noble status.

But now, a top-tier alchemist was essentially making zero profit, offering free pill refinement to everyone for thirty years. Under such circumstances, absolutely no one could resist the urge to spend.
