It wasn't that there weren't any cultivators in the world of cultivation. Rather, there were countless cultivators who wanted to join the rules.
However, the crux of the problem was related to the rules of recruitment. Each territory could not accept just anyone. Generally, no one dared to accept people with unknown origins. Once something happened, such as recruiting spies from other countries, the person who introduced them would have to take responsibility. Therefore, if it was not someone who had a good relationship with them, they would not casually introduce people to join their territory.
Back then, when Cao Dingfeng had recommended Miao Yi to join Transient Light Cave, it was also because he had a good relationship with Chen Fei and trusted Chen Fei. In addition, Cao Dingfeng had a say in the Cave Master's side, and was able to get the Cave Master to report and register him. That was how Miao Yi was allowed to join Transient Light Cave.
Usually, the replenishment of personnel was to absorb captives who had surrendered. That way, if something happened, they couldn't blame it on themselves. They could only blame the defeated side for not being strict enough in the investigation, so they could shirk the responsibility.
Apart from that, it was the recruitment of disciples from various sects. If there were spies among the recruited disciples, then the sect that recommended the disciple to join would have to take responsibility.
It was rumored that the reason why the Six Sages wanted to recruit disciples from various sects was because they wanted to use Orbs of Will to attract the sects' power into the system. They wanted them to fight for territory within the system and kill each other, weakening each other. This was to prevent the sects' power from growing, and to avoid threatening the position of the Six Sages.
Even though many of them understood this, they couldn't resist the temptation of the Orbs of Will. After all, once they entered the system, they still had a good chance of making a name for themselves.
Hence, from Miao Yi's point of view, even if he managed to get his hands on some manpower, he would first get the manpower from the other abodes since his relationship with Qin Weiwei had never been good. That Gongsun Yu, who was in cahoots with Qin Weiwei, would definitely be the first to reap the benefits. Only then would it be his East Arrival Cave's turn. Not only that, Qin Weiwei, that bitch, was most likely purposely not giving him any manpower in order to deal with him. If that was the case, as a Cave Master, he really didn't know how long he would have to do odd jobs in East Arrival Cave.
He pouted at Elder Hong and said, "Is there a need for that? There are a few hundred people over there. They are ready-made. What's wrong with recruiting a few randomly? "
Gongsun Yu glanced at the expressionless Qin Weiwei, then turned his head and smiled bitterly, "Cave Master Miao, even if you wanted to recruit them now, I'm afraid they wouldn't dare to join you."
Miao Yi, who didn't know the reason, didn't believe it. "Both sides had a falling out. Shouldn't we refuse to let them join? "
He shot a glance at Qin Weiwei, and said sarcastically, "If someone dares to relent, I will immediately head over and replenish the forces of my East Arrival Cave."
From his point of view, which cultivator in the world didn't want to enter the rules and share the world's wish power?
Gongsun Yu did not know whether to laugh or cry. He couldn't say that the reason why the people from the School of Blue Jade didn't dare to join them now was because the Manor Head would definitely suppress them, forcing them to work for South Edict Manor without any way to make a name for themselves.
Hearing Miao Yi's harsh words, Qin Weiwei knew that the 'someone' he was referring to was her. She gritted her teeth and glared at him coldly. He snorted and said, "If you have the ability, go ahead and summon them."
Miao Yi's eyes immediately lit up, "Mountain Chieftain, is this true?"
Qin Weiwei looked at him with a slightly angry gaze. "In your eyes, am I a despicable person who goes back on his word?"
These words were a little different from the way she used to speak to Miao Yi.
"No, no. How could the Mountain Chieftain be a vile person?" Miao Yi hurriedly waved his hand, and cheerfully said, "I'm just worried that if I use the School of Blue Jade's disciples to fill up the ranks of my East Arrival Cave's forces, and in the end report the name list, you won't approve it. I won't be able to answer to the School of Blue Jade then. They'll even think that I'm toying with them. "
This clearly showed that she was still worried that a certain person was a despicable person who went back on his word.
Qin Weiwei was furious. She gritted her teeth and said, "As long as the School of Blue Jade's disciples dare to join, I will approve the name list for you as many as you can pull in. The condition is that the School of Blue Jade cannot raise any conditions, and can only join like a normal cultivator!"
"Cave Master Gongsun! The Mountain Chieftain's words carry enormous weight. You all heard what she said! "
After Miao Yi threw out a few words for everyone to testify, he excitedly rubbed his hands together. The battle armor on his body and Charcoal's body turned into clouds of silver mist, and was stored into his storage ring. He turned around and rode Charcoal straight towards the School of Blue Jade's disciples.
All the Cave Masters were speechless. They didn't know where Cave Master Miao had gotten his hands on such a luxurious set of equipment.
Looking at Cave Master Miao's excited figure as he left, everyone lightly shook their heads. They secretly thought that this Cave Master Miao would never turn back until he hit the wall...
Hong Changhai, who was leading a group of men and stopping not too far away, was still staring in the direction Yang Qing and the others had disappeared in, lost in thought. How was he going to report to the Sect Master when he returned? How was he going to report to the entire School of Blue Jade?
The sound of galloping dragon steeds' hooves brought him back to his senses. Tilting his head to look, he was somewhat taken aback.
Hong Changhai had seen Miao Yi before back at South Edict Manor.
Miao Yi also knew him, it was just that he had never greeted him before. He stopped in front of Hong Changhai and cupped his fists, "East Arrival Cave's Miao Yi greets Elder Hong."
Naturally, Hong Changhai wasn't unfamiliar with this person whom the School of Blue Jade wanted to develop as a spy. He was also secretly involved in the dark. Glancing at where Qin Weiwei and the others were, he slightly cupped his fists and said, "So it's Cave Master Miao. I heard that my School of Blue Jade's East Arrival Cave disciples followed Cave Master Miao and left East Arrival Cave a long time ago. May I know where they are now?"
Miao Yi's lips twitched a little as he asked this question the moment he opened his mouth. He sighed and said, "I am ashamed. I couldn't escape from the battle at East Arrival Cave! I've come to inform you. "
So he had intentionally informed him of this matter. Hong Changhai secretly nodded in his heart. He realized that this Cave Master Miao was still the honest one. He was much better than that ungrateful bastard Yang Qing.
He didn't suspect anything else. The number of School of Blue Jade disciples that died in this battle wasn't small. It was reasonable that those from East Arrival Cave weren't spared. He said rather sadly, "They all died in battle for South Edict Manor. It's a pity that Manor Head Yang …"
The words he didn't finish his sentence could be guessed even with his buttocks. He was definitely blaming Yang Qing for being heartless.
However, this wasn't what Miao Yi was concerned about. He immediately said, "Elder Hong, I have another piece of good news to inform you."
Hong Changhai was taken aback. "Good news? What good news? "
He was rather suspicious. South Edict Manor had already fallen to this state. What kind of good news could there be?
Miao Yi looked at the people behind him and smiled, "Your School of Blue Jade and I can be considered old acquaintances. Back then, I often heard Zheng Jinlong and the others mention the School of Blue Jade. I've admired them for a long time. As the saying goes, keep the goodies within the family. Now that my East Arrival Cave is short on manpower, you guys were the first ones I thought of. If anyone wants to join my East Arrival Cave, you can come with me now. There's no need to be polite. "
In his opinion, they should be very happy that he was willing to let them join East Arrival Cave and become a member of the system, sharing the power of will of the world. It should be known that there were countless cultivators who wanted to join but couldn't. If he took the initiative to recruit them, they would definitely be overjoyed.
Little did he know that the group before him didn't look happy at all. Instead, they were all stunned. 'Is this guy here to trick us? We've already fallen out with Yang Qing, and now you want us to join?
Good news my ass! ' Hong Changhai was a little suspicious that this guy was an idiot. Or maybe he came here to play a prank on them. He had the urge to spit on Miao Yi's face.
However, looking at Miao Yi's normal expression, it didn't seem like he was trying to trick them. Hong Changhai's eyes flashed slightly. He thought about what Miao Yi had just said, and felt that Miao Yi seemed to be implying something!
Miao Yi had just said that he and the School of Blue Jade were old acquaintances, and mentioned that Zheng Jinlong often mentioned the School of Blue Jade. He even said that keep the goodies within the family … Thinking up to this point, Hong Changhai seemed to understand what Miao Yi was hinting at. Back then, Zheng Jinlong and the others had a mission to develop Miao Yi as a spy. Could it be …
The more he thought about it, the more likely it seemed. Elder Hong glanced at Qin Weiwei and the others in the distance, and asked hesitantly, "Will Yang Qing agree?"
Miao Yi was very straightforward. "The Manor Head isn't here. It's the same if Mountain Chieftain Qin agrees."
Elder Hong was stunned. "Qin Weiwei asked you to come?"
Miao Yi revealed a look of consideration for them, and sighed. "Do you think she will ask me to come on her own? She didn't agree at first. It was me who tried my best to convince her to agree. While she's still hot-headed and can't go back on her words, you guys should hurry up. Otherwise, once she calms down, you guys will have nothing to do. "
Elder Hong was hesitant. He was still pondering over Miao Yi's intentions, and whether it was what he thought it was.
Seeing him so displeased, Miao Yi laughed coldly in his heart. 'Didn't you come all the way here just to join the system? What kind of attitude is this! '
"If you guys aren't willing to join, then forget it. I'll go find someone else." Miao Yi turned around and walked away without the slightest bit of politeness. He didn't want to indulge the other's bad habits.
"Wait!" Elder Hong raised his hand and shouted.
Miao Yi was overjoyed. Who knew how many cultivators in the world yearned for such a good opportunity. He knew that the other party would be reluctant to part with it. How could he miss out on an opportunity that was delivered to his doorstep?
He turned around expressionlessly. "What advice does Elder Hong have?"
Determination flashed across Hong Changhai's eyes. He wouldn't be able to report back like this, so he had to find a reason to deal with it. In any case, the School of Blue Jade had already received a secret report that this brat was actually very dissatisfied with Yang Qing. Now, regardless of whether it was real or fake, Hong Changhai decided to make a fuss over Miao Yi. It was better than messing things up and returning empty-handed.
"How many men do you want?" Hong Changhai asked through gritted teeth.
This was indeed a problem. Miao Yi pondered for a moment. He naturally wished that he had thousands of men under his command, but that wasn't realistic. He couldn't afford to support them all. However, he could still afford to support a few dozen men.
However, he was only a Cave Master. Wouldn't it be a little too conspicuous to support a few dozen men? Miao Yi turned to look at Qin Weiwei. Even a dignified Mountain Chieftain like Qin Weiwei only had around twenty subordinates. Even though Qin Weiwei had said that she would help approve as many as she could gather, he couldn't go overboard.
Miao Yi stretched out two fingers and asked tentatively, "How about giving me twenty men?"
Hong Changhai was taken aback. He asked in surprise, "A single East Arrival Cave can support so many men? Can you even afford it? "
What he was implying was that when the disciples of the School of Blue Jade joined East Arrival Cave, they couldn't just work without getting paid.
"You don't have to worry about that!" Miao Yi looked at the people behind him and asked, "What are the cultivations of the men that Elder Hong has brought?"
Hong Changhai gave a simple introduction, "They are all elite disciples of the School of Blue Jade. The lowest cultivation is at White Lotus Third Grade. There are three hundred and thirty people from White Lotus Third Grade to Fifth Grade, fifty-eight from Sixth Grade to Ninth Grade, and twelve at the Blue Lotus realm."
