(Supplementary for ten months. A monthly pass of three thousand nine hundred plus updates.)
Miao Yi was taken aback. "Join the Vitality Sect?"
The others were taken aback as well. The Vitality Sect didn't accept anyone who joined halfway, did they? What if he was a spy sent by another sect? Isn't this a little too unsafe?
However, when they thought about it, they felt relieved. Which sect would have an undercover agent like this Blood Jade Branch? If a sect really had such an item, its value would increase tenfold in another ten years. At that time, they would be able to casually raise a few Purple Lotus cultivators to Golden Lotus cultivators. Wouldn't it be better to have a few more Golden Lotus cultivators on their side than to have an undercover agent with an unknown outcome?
Master Yuling nodded. "That's right. Join the Vitality Sect! Little Brother, you've given such a great gift. Our sect cannot accept it for free. If you are willing, I am willing to accept you as my disciple. "
Disciple of the Sect Master! Everyone looked at each other.
This was completely out of his expectations. Miao Yi's expression stiffened, and he asked awkwardly, "Sect Master, isn't that a little inappropriate?"
Master Yuling replied, "There's nothing inappropriate about it. I wouldn't accept anyone else. The Vitality Sect doesn't accept people with ulterior motives. We only accept people with righteousness in their hearts. We've heard about you from Bao Ning and Bao Xin. You have righteousness in your heart and hate evil. When you killed the City God, you once said, 'I only ask for a clear conscience and fear no heavenly thunder'. Along the way, you even helped the victims. What's even more commendable is that you treat possessions like dirt. You're even willing to give away such a precious Blood Jade Branch. This is the role model of the Vitality Sect. You're exactly the disciple that the Vitality Sect needs! "
Everyone looked at Miao Yi and nodded. The Sect Master's words were true. Now that they thought about it, this person had a good character. It wouldn't be too much to accept him as the Sect Master's disciple.
From another perspective, everyone would benefit from Miao Yi's gift of such a great treasure. Especially those with a high status, they would benefit the most. Hence, they all had a good impression of Miao Yi.
"…" Miao Yi was a little speechless. 'I've become the role model of the Vitality Sect? Are you kidding me? ' He wondered if he had gone overboard with his acting.
When the Great Hall Master Miao regained his senses, he laughed dryly. "You flatter me, Sect Master. This junior doesn't deserve such praise. I'm just a greenhorn, I want to come to the Vitality Sect to broaden my horizons. For example, I want to see how immortal pills are refined. I have no intention of joining any sect. "
Spiritual Master Yuling smiled and said, "Broadening your horizons and joining the Vitality Sect won't conflict."
This is really … Miao Yi subconsciously scratched his head. Cupping his hands in obeisance, he said, "I won't hide it from Sect Master. Junior is used to living a carefree life when cultivating alone. On the way, I heard Bao Xin and Bao Ning say that the people in the sect must accept the restrictions of the sect. Junior is used to freedom and really doesn't want to be restricted by others. Therefore, Junior can only thank Sect Master for his good intentions. "
One of the reasons was that he didn't want to be restricted. The other reason was that he didn't want to have a master to control him. Being the disciple of the Sect Leader sounded impressive, but he had to treat his master like a father for his entire life. He did not need to learn from Perfected Yuling, so how could he be willing to cause trouble for himself?
Many people in the hall secretly shook their heads. As expected, he was a greenhorn who didn't know what was good for him. If he could become the disciple of the Sect Leader, his seniority and status in the Vitality Sect would instantly rise. The Vitality Sect was one of the nine major sects of this realm, after all. Becoming the disciple of the Sect Leader would mean that he would have a certain status in the cultivation world. How could a Loose Cultivator compare? Not to mention that he would receive medicinal pills regularly.
"Unwilling to be restricted by others …" Spiritual Master Yuling muttered. He understood what Miao Yi meant, then nodded and said, "How about this? Our sect can't accept your generous gift for nothing. With your cultivation base and the fact that you're still a greenhorn, it won't be safe for you to travel the cultivation world. Why don't you become a householder in our sect? We will provide you with clothing, food, and lodging. It's easy for you to go around and broaden your horizons. If there's anything, we can bring you along and let you broaden your horizons. Wait until the day you're willing to join our sect. My words are still valid. It won't be too late to accept you as a disciple then. "
Spiritual Master Yuling had indeed taken a liking to such a good seedling. Not only did he view money as dirt, he didn't even want to become the Sect Leader's disciple. He even viewed fame and status as fleeting clouds. He was a perfect candidate to cultivate the Vitality Sect's Morality Arts. That was why he left a way out for himself and didn't completely give up on Miao Yi.
That was a good fit! Miao Yi immediately cupped his fists and said, "Thank you, Sect Leader!"
Spiritual Master Yuling nodded, then turned to Spiritual Master Yu Xu and said, "Junior Brother, after Junior Brother Yu Lian refines the Basic Immortal Pills, we will delay the distribution of the pills to our disciples for now. First, send ten thousand pills to Layman Niu. It'll be just in time for him to break through to the Purple Lotus realm from the Red Lotus Seventh Grade. "
Yu Xu nodded and said, "Of course. I'll remember it!"
The others nodded as well. If the gifts from Spiritual Master Yuling could be exchanged for two hundred thousand Basic Immortal Pills, the time saved in cultivating the spiritual herbs would be priceless as well. At the very least, they wouldn't have to worry about the Blood Jade Branches required for the one million Basic Immortal Pills. It was only right for them to give back ten thousand. Otherwise, if word got out, others would surely point fingers at the Vitality Sect.
'Ten thousand Basic Immortal Pills?' Miao Yi was overjoyed. He probably wouldn't be able to convert the Blood Jade Branches into Basic Immortal Pills for the time being. He realized that these old geezers weren't too bad after all. At least they knew how to show their appreciation. Now he wouldn't have to worry about breaking through to the Purple Lotus realm.
"Thank you, Sect Leader. I won't stand on ceremony then!" Miao Yi cupped his fists and thanked Spiritual Master Yuling.
Spiritual Master Yuling smiled and said, "Junior Brother Yu Lian, please accept this Blood Jade Branches."
Spiritual Master Yuling nodded. The light in the grand hall dimmed as the Blood Jade Branches were stored away in his storage bangle. However, Spiritual Master Yuling still shook his head and sighed, "What a pity."
Everyone else felt the same way. That was a difference of ten times! Alas, there was nothing they could do other than feel sorry for him.
"De Ming!" Spiritual Master Yuling called out.
A man stepped forward and cupped his fists. "Yes, Sect Leader."
"Arrange for someone to take care of Layman Niu's daily needs. Arrange a quiet place for him to stay," Spiritual Master Yuling instructed.
"Understood!" De Ming acknowledged. He then turned around and extended his hand to Miao Yi, saying, "Layman Niu, please come with me."
"I'll take my leave then!" Miao Yi cupped his fists and bowed to everyone, then left with De Ming.
After leaving the Righteousness Palace, De Ming brought Miao Yi to a good place. It was a place filled with lush green waves — a sea of bamboos!
A stone path circled around the mountain. At the peak of the mountain, there was a small courtyard surrounded by a bamboo fence. There was only one small courtyard on the entire mountain, and the courtyard was surrounded by verdant bamboos. There were also a few bamboo shoots growing in the courtyard, swaying gently in the wind.
A few pheasants were startled by the rustling sound of bamboo leaves as they walked into the fenced courtyard.
"Layman Niu, this is a secluded place to stay alone. I'm just not sure if it's to your liking. If not, we can look elsewhere." Daoist De Ming smiled.
Miao Yi looked around, then nodded and said, "The environment is good. There's no need to go through so much trouble. Let's stay here. I'll have to trouble Daoist De Ming to lead the way. "
"Then, Layman Niu, please take a look first. If there's anything you're not satisfied with, I'll arrange for two people to take care of your daily needs." De Ming raised his palm in front of his chest, then turned around and left.
Miao Yi looked around the house with his hands behind his back. The decorations were quite elegant. Even though it was small, it had all the essentials. He then walked around the fenced courtyard. It was very elegant. There was a clear spring in the backyard, and a few fallen bamboo leaves floated on top of it, flowing along with the spring water. There was no shortage of water either.
He walked out of the fenced courtyard and looked down at the sea of bamboos below. He could see the Righteousness Palace from afar, and he could even see half of the Righteousness Gate.
'The air is fresh. What a great place!' Miao Yi spread his arms and stretched out his chest. The feeling of losing a precious treasure was finally alleviated quite a bit. It hadn't been long since he came to the outside world from the Small Realm, and he had already found a place to settle down. It was not bad at all.
With a stable environment, he could slowly plan his next step.
At this moment, two excited people dashed on the stone path. Miao Yi's eyelids twitched at the sight. His mood, which had just calmed down, became terrible again.
The two people who came were none other than Bao Ning and Bao Xin. Daoist De Ming really knew how to arrange things. He had arranged for these two people to be with Miao Yi. However, this was within reason. After all, the two of them were familiar with Miao Yi.
"Layman! Senior Uncle De Ming has arranged for us to take care of your daily needs! "The two of them cupped their fists excitedly.
Miao Yi gritted his teeth the moment he saw the two of them. He wanted nothing more than to kick them down the mountain. He coldly snorted and walked away with his hands behind his back. He entered the house and closed the door.
The two of them were immediately baffled. The two of them were a little afraid of him now. He was well aware of the truth behind their training.
Just as the two of them reached the door, Miao Yi's voice came from inside. "Ask Daoist De Ming to send two people over."
Bao Ning asked through the door, "Layman. Did we do something wrong? If you chase us away like this, Senior Uncle De Ming will definitely think that we did something wrong. "
"…" Inside the house, Miao Yi was speechless. He had been tricked so badly by these two idiots, yet he had to suffer in silence. After a long while, he finally said, "I'm hungry. Go get some food. If it's not good, I will naturally have to send someone else. "
The two of them exchanged glances. This was an easy task, so they immediately replied, "Please wait a moment, Layman!"
Not long after, smoke rose from the bamboo forest. About an hour later, the two of them came back with a fragrant roasted bamboo chicken and a bamboo tube of Jade Verdant Rice. They knocked on the door and placed them beside Miao Yi, who was sitting with his legs crossed.
The two of them used bamboo chopsticks to pry open the roasted bamboo chicken. Immediately, a strange fragrance wafted into the air, and a few black dried fruits were removed from the stomach.
Miao Yi's nostrils flared as he gave them a sidelong glance. He took the chopsticks and tore off a piece of meat that was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. He tasted it, and found that the taste was just right, filling his mouth with the tender flavor. He then picked some crystal clear jade rice and chewed on it. It was fragrant and chewy. It was delicious when eaten with the roasted bamboo chicken.
After tasting a few more mouthfuls, he couldn't help but nod his head slightly, "The taste is not bad. Do you guys often …"
As soon as the words left his mouth, he saw the smiles on their faces. Miao Yi immediately realized that he had made a slip of the tongue. He had wanted to find an excuse to chase them away …
In the end, he put down his chopsticks and continued eating. He couldn't be bothered to argue with these two idiots. There was no point in arguing with them anyway. The food they made was indeed delicious!
The next day, Bao Ning and Bao Xin brought Miao Yi the Vitality Sect's gray Daoist robes. They were prepared to bring Miao Yi to familiarize himself with the Vitality Sect's environment. The embroidered robes Miao Yi was wearing were a little too eye-catching.
After changing his clothes, Miao Yi found it funny. His Little Brother was a monk, and in the blink of an eye, he had also become half a Daoist.
The three of them left the fenced courtyard. Miao Yi could faintly hear the sounds of fighting. He opened his transcendence vision and looked down from the top of the mountain. He could vaguely see a group of Vitality Sect disciples fighting in a valley. Miao Yi couldn't help pointing and asked, "What are they doing?"
Bao Ning replied, "They are cultivating."
"Oh! Then I want to broaden my horizons. Is it alright to take a look? "Miao Yi asked.
"That's alright." Bao Xin shook his head. The two of them immediately led Miao Yi forward.
When the three of them arrived at the valley, Miao Yi stood halfway up the mountain and watched the group of Daoist priests fighting with swords for a while. He shook his head slightly, feeling that it was nothing much. He turned around and said, "Let's go. Let's go take a look at other places."
Little did he know that his appearance had been noticed by everyone. His action of shaking his head had caused some people to be unhappy. A girl below shouted, "Is that Layman Niu up there?"
Miao Yi was taken aback. He turned around and nodded, "Yes."
