Setting up a sect wasn't something that could be done overnight.
It was now the era of civilized cultivation, and there were rules and regulations for everything. It wasn't like the ancient era, when all you had to do was find a suitable land of mountains and rivers, invest in building a sect, and recruit people. Back then, you didn't even need to buy land. If several people who wanted to set up a sect had their eyes on the same land of mountains and rivers, whoever won would own it.
Therefore, there were a lot of factors that needed to be considered in order to set up a sect in today's society.
As early as several hundred years ago, around the time the cultivation forum had just been set up, Grenade-Throwing Senior Immortal had already conceived the idea of setting up a sect. However, at that time, he hadn't had enough resources. He had lacked supplies, money, management, strength and connections; he hadn't had anything.
But things were different now.
The development of the cultivation forum was even better than what Grenade-Throwing Senior Immortal had imagined when he had first set up the site. He had relied on the forum to expand all kinds of interpersonal relationships and connections. Furthermore, he had used the forum to post all kinds of news about the cultivation world to explore and uphold justice everywhere, thoroughly spreading the name "Great Death-Courting Senior" in the cultivation circle.
For many people, the Soul Formation stage was an unattainable realm that they could only dream of.
Of course, this realm was far from enough for Grenade-Throwing Senior Immortal himself. At the very least, it was nothing compared to the big shots around him.
Even in the chat group set up based on the cultivation forum, Grenade-Throwing Senior Immortal felt that as the group leader, his realm ranking in the group was only above average. Wang Ling naturally didn't need to be mentioned in the same breath as him … even the newcomers to the group, Little Silver, Brother Fang Xing and Daoist Guang, were much better than him.
The most frightening thing was that Grenade-Throwing Senior Immortal had the vague feeling that Dog Two's strength was about to surpass his …
An ambitious person would always compare himself with those who were more outstanding than he was.
After this comparison, he would naturally fall behind, and then work even harder and strive even harder to follow in the footsteps of these outstanding people to become even more outstanding.
Grenade-Throwing was this kind of person.
Little Silver had never seen Grenade-Throwing with such a serious and meticulous face. Grenade-Throwing was usually a very sunny and cheerful person.
Little Silver clearly remembered that he had only seen this expression in one situation before.
That was …
While planting broccoli in the backyard.
Realizing that Grenade-Throwing was seriously talking to him about the construction of the sect, Little Silver was blank for a long while before he asked, "So you've chosen a place?"
"I already have a few pieces of land that I like in Songhai city, which is in the suburbs. I've heard from a friend that it's about to be divided into a new district called Chenling New District."
Grenade-Throwing Senior Immortal said, "Historically, that area has been very barren, and demons have wreaked havoc there, so development hasn't been particularly good in the last few hundred years. A lot of real estate developers have encountered all kinds of mysterious and supernatural events there, such as regional earthquakes, building material trucks running into ghosts on the road, and even evil spirits howling in the middle of the night …"
"Didn't a feng shui master take a look?" Little Silver asked curiously.
"In the past, Feng Shui masters would go there every day to measure the Feng Shui, but the result was that the divination showed that it was an ominous place. That's why there are very, very few residents living there now, "said Grenade-Throwing Senior Immortal.
After hearing this, Little Silver was very surprised. "Then why did you decide on that land?"
"Because more than ten years ago … it was said that the feng shui there suddenly improved overnight."
"…"
"But I think this might have something to do with Brother Ling's family."
“MASTER？”
"That's right." Grenade-Throwing Senior Immortal nodded. "I heard that Brother Ling's family moved here more than ten years ago. Oh, that's right, I forgot to tell you, the pieces of land I chose are very close to East Huang Road in front of Brother Ling's house. "
Little Silver finally understood at this point …
No wonder that place had suddenly changed from an ominous place to a land of good feng shui.
It turned out that it was because Master was there to suppress it.
Master was already a very strong person! And there were so many seniors in this villa! Big Master! Old Master! Old Master's wife! Great Master … a total of five Masters! So what if there were a lot of demons and ghosts in that area?
When the five Masters were added together, that would be the ultimate bomb!
Little Silver actually hadn't been very interested in this matter at first, but when he heard that the sect was going to be built near the Wang family's small villa, his interest was immediately piqued. If the sect was really built there, it would be so convenient for him to move around with Master in the future!
"Then, Grenade-Throwing, do you have a general idea?" Little Silver asked again.
"I've been working on the general idea since several hundred years ago, and I think I'll start with our chat group for the main management. Our sect must break away from the shackles of traditional sect doctrines and develop our own individual sect characteristics. Of course, this must be built on the basis that it doesn't violate our core values and the will of the country; we definitely can't do anything that breaks the law. "
When Little Silver saw that Grenade-Throwing's eyes were shining as he said this, his expression was so serious that it moved Little Silver. "Brother Silver, let me ask you a question. When your holy beast race was divided into tribes back then, was it like a small sect? "
"A little." Little Silver nodded.
But that couldn't be called a real sect. A sect needed to be run, and the tribes established by the holy beast race weren't so strict in their management.
"In ancient times, why did people set up sects? In order to find a group of like-minded fellow Daoists, they vigorously pushed out unique secret arts that only their sect had. These unique secret arts were the key to attracting a large number of disciples to join the sect. "
Grenade-Throwing Senior Immortal stood up and said tirelessly, "In ancient times, sects were actually set up for those who had the strength to do so. In the absence of any overall rules and regulations, those who had the strength wanted to leave a mark on their name for generations to come, carry forward their techniques, and promote their reputation. And the disciples who joined the sect often sought peace in these troubled times when hundreds of schools contended for supremacy … "
Little Silver seemed to understand a little. "Then, Grenade-Throwing, you mean …"
"Times are different now! Brother Silver, do you think that if we were like before, and purely used those techniques to attract outsiders to recruit people, would anyone come? Nowadays, there are a lot of spirit skill shops online, and there are many ways to cooperate on copyrights of techniques. Just go online, and the techniques you want can be sent to you electronically. Why go through the trouble of joining a sect? "
"That makes sense." Little Silver nodded in agreement with Grenade-Throwing Senior Immortal's point of view.
But Little Silver's expression was still a little hesitant, because after talking for so long, Grenade-Throwing Senior Immortal still hadn't explained why they were setting up a sect.
"Then what are we setting up this sect for? It's not like we're going to build a broccoli farm … "
"Brother Silver, you're really smart!"
"…"
"Ah! Of course, this is just one of the plans in my sect's blueprint! The main show is actually yet to come! "
