Gan Tianyan's face was filled with impatience. Beads of sweat were dripping down her beautiful face.
"What is it? Why are you so anxious? "Ping Zhenyue was surprised. How many years had it been since her senior sister was so anxious?
"It's like this …" Gan Tianyan sat down and snatched the teapot from Ping Zhenyue's hands at an extremely fast speed. She put it to her mouth and drank as she said, "This is what happened. Senior Sister, you didn't see it, but there are over ten thousand disciples in the entire mountain, and each and every one of them is a genius …"
Ping Zhenyue sat quietly and listened seriously. Her brows were slightly furrowed, and her expression was uncertain. She did not speak for a long time.
"This is definitely an extremely rare opportunity for our sect. At least for me, I definitely cannot miss it …" After Gan Tianyan finished speaking, she anxiously looked at her Sect Leader Junior Sister.
"This matter … it's not like we can't do it …"
Ping Zhenyue thought for a moment and said, "But … this can only be decided after all the elders of our sect meet. If Sect Leader Yun doesn't mind, we can bring the higher-ups of our sect to pay a visit and see how many people from the Residence of Nine Supremes are willing to cultivate our sect's cultivation method. At the same time, we can also see if we approve of those disciples. After all, there is a limit to how many disciples we can take in … "
Gan Tianyan was taken aback when she heard this. She paused and blushed. "Junior Sister, what do you mean? Don't you believe my eyes? Let me tell you, the disciples of the Residence of Nine Supremes are all talented and intelligent. Each of them is one in a million … Although they are not as good as the top ten disciples who participated in the battle of the Celestial Luck Banner, they are definitely top-notch. This is like a pie falling from the sky. Our sect is worried about the lack of successors and it is difficult for us to have outstanding disciples to inherit our sect."
"I know how to arrange this, but this is only your side of the story. It cannot be taken into account."
Gan Tianyan said anxiously, "I'm telling the truth! Although it's shocking to say that the Residence of Nine Supremes has tens of thousands of talented disciples, I've seen it with my own eyes. How can it be fake?"
Ping Zhanyue smiled. "Senior martial sister, I'm naturally willing to believe what you said. But you also said that what you said was shocking. You saw it with your own eyes and felt that it could not be faked, but in the eyes of others, it was no different from a fantasy story, the ravings of an idiot. I will only ask Senior Sister one thing, if another person bluntly said that he had a hundred disciples with exceptional aptitude under him and wanted to give them all to the sect, would Senior Sister believe it? As the saying goes, seeing is believing. Only by letting others see it can this matter be true! "
Gan Tianyan pondered for a moment before nodding. "That's true. If someone else were to keep talking about how many talented disciples they have … I wouldn't believe it either."
"Moreover, there's another question that we need to consider again and again … Senior Sister has just said that all the disciples of the Residence of Nine Supremes are extremely loyal to the Residence of Nine Supremes. Senior Sister has spent a long time but has not recruited any of them. What if no one is willing to follow the Phoenix Cry Sect after we've taught them for a few years … Wouldn't it be a waste of effort for the Residence of Nine Supremes? We can't ignore this, we can't ignore it! "
Ping Zhenyue looked at Gan Tianyan with a playful smile on her face.
Gan Tianyan was not offended. She chuckled and said, "I raised this question directly to Yun Yang at that time. But what Yun Yang said is that the teacher-disciple relationship that has been cultivated for many years cannot change the mind of the person who is cultivating it. It seems that it is a matter for the teacher to reflect on himself, right? The premise of our cooperation is that in the next few years, the Residence of Nine Supremes will only provide the relevant resources of clothing, food, housing, and transportation for the disciples, but will never impose any restrictions on the cultivation of the disciples! "
"Will never impose any restrictions?! Can it really be so? "Ping Zhenyue looked thoughtful.
She pondered for a moment and said, "We still need to discuss it. If it's feasible, we'll leave as soon as possible."
As soon as Ping Zhenyue's voice died away, she immediately asked solemnly, "Senior Sister, are you really sure that the Residence of Nine Supremes has so many disciples with aptitude close to that of Yun Xiuxin and Bai Yexing?"
During the Celestial Luck Banner Battle, Ping Zhenyue had a deep impression of the top ten disciples of the Residence of Nine Supremes.
"Yes!" Gan Tianyan said seriously. "Not only are there many of them, but they even have more room for growth than them. Many of the disciples are very young, only six or seven years old. You should know what this means."
Young age meant strong plasticity, and the age of six or seven years old was the best time for a cultivator to build his or her foundation!
"Sigh, I keep feeling that this is strange, and that there's something fishy about it. Usually, when something good falls from the sky, the gains outweigh the losses, and the losses outweigh the gains …" Ping Zhanyue fell into deep thought again.
"I don't think there will be any loss."
Gan Tianyan smiled and said, "Senior Sister, think about it carefully. Even if the disciples we cultivate with manpower and time may not be on our side, their cultivation base will still belong to Phoenix Cry Sect. This is equivalent to leaving a mark on those disciples, and the friendship between master and disciple is built in the process of teaching and solving doubts. I don't believe that no one will go with us in the end. Just like Luoluo … Although most of her heart is on Luo Dajiang, there is still some part of her heart on me. As long as I don't go against Luo Dajiang, Luoluo will definitely stand on my side and think for my sake. Don't you think so, Senior Sister?"
Ping Zhenyue chuckled and said, "Junior Sister, why do I hear that you seem to have lost your confidence? You are the mother-in-law. As long as you say it, would Luo Dajiang and Jiang Luoluo dare to say no?"
Gan Tianyan was slightly embarrassed and said slowly, "Senior Sister, I'm talking to you seriously, but you're mocking me. It has always been like this since the beginning of time … Even if the Residence of Nine Supremes has ulterior motives and other schemes, with their current strength, they are still much weaker than Phoenix Cry Sect. Even if there is discord and conflict between us, with the manpower we have in their base … Do we have to be afraid that they will turn the sky upside down? "
Ping Zhenyue's eyes lit up and she said, "That makes sense."
"Then, this matter …?"
Ping Zhenyue quickly made a decision. "Summon the higher-ups for a meeting immediately and make a decision as soon as possible!"
…
Hearing Ping Zhenyue's decision, Gan Tianyan went out impatiently to inform the higher-ups.
Ping Zhenyue was left alone in the hall. She frowned and murmured, "What is Yun Yang's intention in doing this? He could've just rejected it and pushed Senior Sister out of the door with just a word, but he made such a decision … "
"This is very unexpected."
"It's also unusual."
"No sect would do this, but Yun Yang did it."
As she thought about it, a thought suddenly rose in Ping Zhenyue's mind. She murmured, "Could Yun Yang be … Impossible … How could a mere Residence of Nine Supremes have such a huge appetite?"
Then, she put away her thoughts and smiled. "Let me meet this Sect Leader Yun."
…
Not long after, the meeting of the Phoenix Cry Sect's higher-ups began. Twenty-four higher-ups sat together, and most of them expressed doubt about Gan Tianyan's words.
"Ten thousand geniuses! Hahaha … "
"How is this possible? Even if the Residence of Nine Supremes had ten first-generation disciples in the battle of the Celestial Luck Banner, and each of them is outstanding, you're saying that there are more than ten thousand geniuses with the same aptitude. This is ridiculous! "
"Senior Sister, you must be joking, aren't you?"
"Junior Sister, you must be seeing things. Either there's something wrong with your eyes!"
"Anyway, I don't believe it."
"Hehe, maybe Junior Sister Gan had a dream, but the dream was so wonderful that it extended to this moment?"
Gan Tianyan blushed. "Let's not talk too much. Seeing is believing. Anyway, we are not separated by a few days. Everyone, follow me to take a look. Let's see if there is something wrong with my eyes!"
"But there's one thing we have to agree on in advance. This incident is a great opportunity for our sect. If it's not true, then I'm the one who deceived you, and I'll bow and apologize to all of you in front of the whole sect. But if it's true, then I've done a great service to the sect. I don't want any other benefits. I just want all of you to bow and thank me together and say, 'I shouldn't have doubted Elder Gan's discerning eyes!' How about it? Do you dare? "
"Hahaha … Junior Sister, are you angry?"
"Let's do it, let's do it!"
"Let's go and take a look."
"I'd like to see how rare it is for a sect to have more than ten thousand genius disciples all of a sudden. Hahaha … Even the East Celestial Palace has so many genius disciples now? Hahaha … "
"But then again, if it's true, it's nothing for us to bow and thank you in front of everyone. It's indeed a great opportunity for our sect if it's true. Why doesn't it deserve a word of thanks and praise from all of us?!"
"Let's go!"
"Let's go together! What you hear is false, and what you see is true!"
Gan Tianyan flew up angrily. "Everyone, follow me! Follow me!"
Before her voice died away, she had already turned into a stream of light and sped away.
Ping Zhenyue shook her head helplessly and said softly, "You've really made me angry this time. Let's go, let's all go and take a look. To be honest, I also want to see whether this is true or not, whether it's a great opportunity or a great lie."
Then, the twenty-four top experts of the Phoenix Cry Sect turned into light and sped away. They sped toward the Residence of Nine Supremes like the wind and lightning.
…
At this time, the top ten disciples of the Residence of Nine Supremes, including Yun Xiuxin, had all returned.
This time, Yun Yang adopted a new method. All the inner sect disciples gathered together, including the nine peak masters. Then, he asked the top ten disciples to go up one by one and tell them what they had done after they went out, what the situation was, how they dealt with it at that time, and what their psychological state was like at that time …
"Yun Xiuxin!"
Without a doubt, the first to appear was the eldest senior sister, Yun Xiuxin.
Yun Xiuxin, who should have been used to being watched by so many people and being the center of attention, had her face turn the color of a pig's liver.
How could she go up and tell her own experience? Especially his own mental journey, it was simply too embarrassing!
Should she lie? Should she cover it up?
But … how could she lie at this moment and place?
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd and the expectation of the crowd, Yun Xiuxin's feet weighed a thousand kilograms as she walked slowly up the platform. Her pretty little face was flushed, and she did not know where to put her hands.
After being urged repeatedly, the eldest senior sister finally spoke hesitantly.
"I … I … I was … deceived … nine times … when I went out this time …"
"Hahahaha …"
There was a burst of laughter below.
Many people burst out laughing when they heard this, spitting until the heads of their peers in front of them were covered with saliva.
"But when I was deceived for the tenth time, I finally saw through the trick and exposed the scam!" Yun Xiuxin explained anxiously, "And after the tenth time, whether it was the eleventh or the twelfth time, I was never deceived again, not even once!"
The laughter below was even louder.
"Just tell me how many times you were deceived in total?" asked Luo Dajiang.
"… Nine times …" Yun Xiuxin lowered her head.
Another burst of laughter rang out.
"Tell me in detail every time you've been cheated. Tell me all the details!" Luo Dajiang put on the face of an impartial judge.
"I …"
"Say it!"
Yun Yang tried hard to hold back his laughter and said, "This is the real martial world experience. Tell me, it's a good thing for both you and others! "
As Yun Xiuxin recounted one embarrassing incident after another, the laughter continued to rise and fall. Yun Xiuxin was so embarrassed that tears were welling up in her eyes, but she did not dare to hide anything.
She told all her encounters in an extremely aggrieved manner, and her face was already pale with embarrassment.
"Although Xiuxin's cultivation base is the best among all the disciples, she is still young after all, and it's inevitable that she will be deceived when she goes out to train alone. This is a lack of life experience, not a serious shortcoming. There's only one thing you need to remember — Xiuxin is the easiest to be deceived at her age, and you are the easiest to be deceived. "
Yun Yang said, "Listen up, all of you. When you travel the martial world, you may have to face the old foxes of the martial world, who are far more difficult than those who set up the trap for Xiuxin. It's not an exaggeration to say that it's easy to deal with rookies like you!"
"What kind of person can live a long life in the martial world? It must be someone who is smooth and slick in all aspects! Only by adapting to the martial world can one have a leisurely life! Those who can't adapt to the martial world will only be eliminated by the martial world. What is elimination? It is to step on the path of death, and there is no turning back! "
"Constantly summing up experiences and integrating them into one's own knowledge is the so-called martial world experience. Yes, everything that Xiuxin encountered when she went out to train this time is ridiculous, but in all fairness, if it were any of you, would anyone have the confidence to say that they could avoid all of them safely? Just because you have laughed doesn't mean that you will be fine. You have to learn from it. "
"Because I don't want you to be eliminated! Do you understand? "
"Yes!"
"Your eldest senior sister has given up her dignity this time and taught you this lesson with her personal experience. This is not a joke, but the most precious personal experience, the most authentic experience. This … this is not only the martial world experience, but also a friendship, a truth!"
Yun Yang said earnestly.
All the disciples no longer had a smile on their faces. They bowed together and said, "Yes, we will follow Sect Leader Master's teachings."
Then, all of them bowed to Yun Xiuxin in unison. "Thank you, eldest senior sister, for setting an example for us!"
Yun Xiuxin's blush deepened as she covered her eyes in embarrassment. "Oh my … how embarrassing …" she said while stomping her feet.
Then, it was Bai Yexing, Hu Xiaofan …
This time, the entire process of sharing their experiences with the disciples did not take long. It only took a little more than two hours.
In spite of this, Yun Yang had made it clear that all the disciples were to write down what they had learned based on the experiences of their ten senior brothers and sisters after they went back to cultivate.
No exception was allowed!
In the following period of time, Qian Duoduo, Ping Xiaoyi, and Guo Nuanyang divided all the disciples who had yet to be accepted into the sect into twenty-eight teams, with five hundred people in each team.
They were arranged according to their age first, then they cultivated at the wind gap every day, allowing the spiritual wind to water their meridians for three consecutive days.
As for those disciples whose meridians had reached a certain level, Yun Yang and the others combed them with a mystical skill.
"Boss, we really have too many genius disciples under us. Each of them is extraordinarily talented …"
Luo Dajiang exclaimed looking at the disciples who filled the room.
Once there were more than ten thousand people, there was no end to it!
This statement had never been fake.
Most of these disciples were still in their childhood, at the most suitable time for them to build their foundation. The shock of witnessing it with their own eyes was indescribable and shocking!
Luo Dajiang was especially impressed by the current situation. There were at least three thousand of these little fellows who were more talented than he was when he was the same age. Most of the rest were about the same level as him, and only a few were slightly weaker than him!
How could such a situation be possible?
Luo Dajiang had been very proud of his talent and timing of entering the Dao in the past. He was one of the best among the Demiurge-Flawed Ten, but now it seemed that one's luck was really incomparable. Comparisons were odious!
"How is Yituo?"
The higher-ups were worried about this issue.
Yun Yang chuckled. "I've been paying attention to Yituo's Qi, and it's still growing. However, no one is to disturb him during this period of time! What he's doing now is a path that no one has taken before, so we can't afford to be careless. This is something that deserves the most attention in the Residence of Nine Supremes right now. Yituo is doing something super important like founding a sect. Why don't we stop calling him Yituo? "
Lan Ruojun made a face and said, "Why not? I think it's better to keep the name fixed. If that fellow really succeeds, then his sword art shall be officially named 'Yituo Sword'!"
Yituo Sword! What sword was that?
Everyone was laughing but they were all in agreement, quite willing to join forces to make this happen.
Everyone chatted and laughed for a while, then went off to practice their martial arts. Qian Duoduo, on the other hand, continued his great plan to amass wealth. This fellow saw that the items in the sect's storeroom were increasing day by day, and he actually took out a lot of rare items and set up an auction house. At the same time, he also set up a bank. These two sides worked together and borrowed each other's strength. It was said that they were very famous, and vaguely popular.
Although these two projects were not well-known yet, the money earned from these two shops was already enough to support the daily expenses of the Residence of Nine Supremes. This was commendable.
The Residence of Nine Supremes had a sizable population now. Just the resources of food, clothing, and accommodation for the cultivators who had entered the Dao was already a considerable expenditure. It was not a trivial matter to be able to maintain the operation.
"Qian Duoduo is a talent."
Dong Qitian said unhurriedly from behind Yun Yang, "With such a majordomo in charge of internal affairs, other than his slightly lower cultivation base, everything else is impeccable. He's more than qualified to be the Sacred Heart Palace's general affairs manager."
"But Duoduo's cultivation base is still too low. With his current cultivation base, he's still weaker than many disciples," said Yun Yang, "When he comes back, I'll have to ask senior to urge him."
Dong Qitian chuckled, his expression strange. "This fellow is lazy, but he's afraid of death and pain. I know how to train him."
Yun Yang laughed.
Time flew, and another three days had passed.
On this day, the sky suddenly changed and the weather was unusual. It was the arrival of the Phoenix Cry Sect's upper echelons, causing the weather to change!
When the Phoenix Cry Sect's upper echelons arrived outside the Residence of Nine Supremes' mountain gate, the twenty-four of them could already feel a sense of awe before they even entered the residence.
Was this the newly upgraded Residence of Nine Supremes?
How could it occupy such a large area?
Did the Residence of Nine Supremes want to be the Palace of Nine Supremes from the very beginning?
Just by looking at it, one could tell that the Residence of Nine Supremes occupied an extraordinarily vast area!
Actually, the initial expansion of the Residence of Nine Supremes was an unintentional move. Yun Yang did not understand the market at all and wanted to settle the matter in one go. Usually, when a martial artist wanted to establish a sect, it would be more than enough to build a boundary of thirty to forty miles.
After all, the larger the sect's base, the more facilities needed to be built inside, and the larger the external formation of the mountain gate would be.
Blindly seeking to be big would only consume a lot of unnecessary resources, and the loss would outweigh the gain.
However, Yun Yang did not understand these things at all. Moreover, he possessed resources far beyond the imagination of ordinary people – mountains and seas of Ethereal Amethysts. Therefore, from the beginning, he had chosen to occupy the nine peaks directly and set up the Residence of Nine Supremes' foundation formation in a large area with a high density!
Then, he used the Celestial Luck Banner to further change the terrain, making the already unusually vast mountain gate even more expansive. When Qian Duoduo realized it, it was already too late. If not, he would not have gone back to save the children without a care …
The place was too big and desolate with fewer people …
In the beginning, he didn't do it on purpose. Up to the astonishing scale today, everything was just a lucky stroke of luck.
Unfortunately, no matter if it was at this moment or in the endless years to come, no one would believe it no matter who told them that this was an accident and that it was a mistake!
Everyone said that the founding forefather of the Residence of Nine Supremes was far-sighted and ambitious, and that his vision was naturally beyond the reach of ordinary people …
"The Phoenix Cry Sect has come to visit the mountain. Please inform them."
Gan Tianyan stepped forward to report.
He thought that he would have to wait for a while. After all, the Phoenix Cry Sect had come out in full force this time, so the Residence of Nine Supremes had to be more vigilant. Unexpectedly, the mountain gate of the Residence of Nine Supremes opened with a bang.
As the mountain gate opened, a thick white mist of spiritual Qi rushed out with a whoosh. Even though the people from the Phoenix Cry Sect were all experienced and knowledgeable seniors, they all took a deep breath at the same time …
What a pure spiritual Qi!
How comfortable …
The bell rang.
It rang forty-nine times.
It was the bell to welcome the distinguished guests. Any sect with a bit of wealth in the Bound of Universe would do the same.
Accompanying the welcoming bell was Yun Yang's hearty laughter that came from afar. It was indescribably adorable. "Aye, aye, aye, the Residence of Nine Supremes is honored by the arrival of Sect Leader Ping and other seniors."
The group had already walked into the mountain gate. Along the way, there were exotic flowers and grasses, tall buildings, and fragrant scents.
Honored by the presence?
May I ask, which part of it is fluffy?
This is no longer modesty. You're actually showing off, aren't you?
It was early in the morning, the time for the disciples of the Residence of Nine Supremes to practice.
Under the lead of a tall youth, a group of disciples ran out of the lodging while shouting their chants. The entire group lined up neatly and ran at a uniform speed towards the field.
"Five hundred people?"
They were all experienced martial artists. An elder could tell the exact number of people at a glance and could not help but widen his eyes. "These five hundred disciples … are not bad …"
Not bad?
Not bad at all?
The Elders and Hall Masters of the Phoenix Cry Sect only took a glance at them for a moment before they were all stunned.
In terms of talent, these five hundred disciples had completely surpassed all the current disciples of the Phoenix Cry Sect!
So many?
How could there be so many talented disciples?
At this moment, even the sect leader, Ping Zhanyue, was a little stunned. Her eyes did not blink and could not move.
It's true, it's actually true!
What Senior Sister Gan said … is all true!
Oh my god!
