Redbud Dragon Race
After leaving the Mission Hall, Duan Yingjun told Ning Qi to walk around the outer sect of the Cloud Rising Sect to familiarize himself with the place. After Ning Qi agreed, he was taken away by Xia Bing. Duan Tianying and the rest looked deeply at Ning Qi before leaving with their master.
The Cloud Rising Sect had a total of four forbidden areas: the outer sect, the inner sect, the central sect, and the four great forbidden areas. They could only move around in the outer sect, and the deacon elders could only move around in the inner sect. As for the central area, only the green-robed elders could enter. The deacon elders had to receive orders before they could enter. As for the four great forbidden areas, only the Lampholder Elder and the Cloud Rising Sect Leader had the right to enter. However, because it was abnormally dangerous inside, it was closed all year round if there was nothing important. It would only be opened when the direct disciples needed to train.
Ning Qi originally thought that everyone would be separated from each other. He didn't expect that when Shentu Yuanba brought him back to his own courtyard, he realized that there were at least five to six hundred of them. This meant that there were at least five to six hundred deacon elders in the Cloud Rising Sect. Elder Xia Bing lived next to Shentu Yuanba.
"Master, how many deacon elders are there in the Cloud Rising Sect?"
Ning Qi asked curiously.
"Today, I will give you a simple explanation of the outer and inner sect. As for the central and forbidden areas, even I know very little about them. When you are qualified enough in the future, you can go and find out for yourself."
Shentu Yuanba pointed to a stone bench in the courtyard, indicating for Ning Qi to sit down.
"First, let me introduce myself. My name is Shentu Yuanba, from the Azure Dragon Empire. I can see that you are from the White Tiger Empire, so we actually have some history. Let's not talk about this for now. Let's talk about the outer sect. There are a total of eighteen mountain ranges, one hundred and eight dangerous areas, and thousands of buildings, including the Mission Hall, Technique Hall, Treasure Pavilion, Elixir Pavilion, Alchemy Room, Weapon Workshop, etc. You won't go to the other places often, but the Mission Hall will be one of them."
After a pause, Shentu Yuanba continued, "In the Mission Hall, there is a green-robed elder in charge. He is the Elder Ding you just met. Don't provoke him for no reason. He is only responsible for the blood tablet of the new disciples. If you want to accept a mission, you have to accept it from the elder on duty in the Mission Hall. The elder of the Mission Hall, Jie Xiuwu, is the strongest among the deacon elders. I heard that he will be promoted to green-robed elder next year."
At this point, Ning Qi clearly saw a flash of envy in Shentu Yuanba's eyes.
"Other than that, the Cloud Rising Sect has a total of six hundred deacon elders. Only two hundred of them are in the sect, and the rest are in the various branches of the Cloud Rising Sect. They are in charge of all kinds of resources, such as mines, businesses, and markets. Because we have to hand over thirty percent of our income to the strongest dragon clan, the Redbud Dragon Clan, every year, our Cloud Rising Sect can only desperately open businesses and markets to maintain the outer sect's turnover."
"The Cloud Rising Sect still has to hand over income to the dragon clan? It seems that the higher we go, the more pressure we have to endure from the dragon clan. "
For example, the Qin Tang Empire only had to pay tribute to the Hundred Herb Sect. He had never seen them pay tribute to the dragon clan. However, the Hundred Herb Sect might also have to pay tribute to the higher ups. This way, it would eventually fall into the dragon clan's pocket.
"Exploitation, hehehe. Luckily, I exist in this world. The dragon clan exploits them, and I exploit the dragon clan."
Ning Qi was secretly pleased.
"You must be curious. There are more than six hundred deacon elders, but you only have a thousand outer sect disciples."
Shentu Yuanba smiled faintly.
"Master, you are right. This disciple has the same question."
Ning Qi nodded.
"Everything is because of resources. Without enough resources, there is no way to support a large number of disciples. Seventy to eighty percent of the Cloud Rising Sect's resources are used on the inner sect disciples and true disciples. Some of the resources that are left behind fall on you and us. What should we do if we don't have enough resources?"
"Snatch! With enough strength and enough resources, you will have a chance to become an inner sect disciple and become the true target of the Cloud Rising Sect. However, other than you, the Cloud Rising Sect also has a group of servant disciples. There are about ten thousand of them who do the work of servants. There are both men and women. Because I like peace, I don't have any here. If you need servants, you can find some and provide them with some Spirit Crystals every month. "
Shentu Yuanba continued.
"It seems that the Cloud Rising Sect is not as grand as it looks on the outside. We still have to snatch resources. However, it is much better than snatching without an organization. Moreover, the resources we snatch can be exchanged for elixirs, cultivation methods, martial techniques, and fighting weapons."
Ning Qi sighed in his heart.
As for the servant disciples that Shentu Yuanba mentioned, he was not interested. Perhaps he would take on a mission today and take the opportunity to go back to the Qin Tang Empire.
After all, the system only gave him twenty-four hours. If he did not level up within the time limit, it would be equivalent to giving up. However, if he were to level up a few times in the Cloud Rising Sect, it would be too high profile. It would be detrimental to Ning Qi's strategy of keeping a low profile. He could only find an excuse to leave and come back every one or two years.
"Although your current cultivation base is a little low, your battle power is extremely strong. I can rest assured about this and let you walk in the outer sect. Otherwise, if there is no deacon elder to look after you, the outer sect is very deep. At any moment, there will be people who will stab you in the back for resources. You have to pay more attention to Hua Xi Ri and Hua Wushang.
Shentu Yuanba was overbearing.
"Thank you for your teachings, Master. I will bear it in mind."
Feeling that Shentu Yuanba was sincerely teaching him, Ning Qi was a little touched.
"Alright, the Qi Method and Martial Technique that you practice are not weak. I am unable to teach you these things, but I can teach you a couple more Martial Techniques to use to protect your life. If you have any questions regarding your training, you can ask me anytime. Being a six star Dou Zong, I should be able to answer. We will stop here today. Someone has come to look for you."
Shentu Yuanba smiled and turned to leave.
As expected, there was a knock on the door.
Ning Qi opened the door and saw Duan Yingjun standing at the door excitedly, "Brother Ning, we have really become Cloud Rising Sect's outer sect disciples. That's great. Do you know that those ordinary outer sect disciples are not accepted as disciples by the deacon elders? If they want to ask questions about cultivation, they have to spend spirit crystals to post a mission in the mission hall. Haha, we are so lucky!"
"Brother Duan, you really can't rest for a moment."
Ning Qi smiled bitterly.
"You can call me Yingjun. Don't call me Brother Duan. It sounds weird. I will call you by your name. Anyway, we will be brothers in the future."
Duan Yingjun smiled.
"Ying, Yingjun? Forget it, I will call you Fatty. I really can't bring myself to call you Yingjun. Fatty, why are you not listening to your master's teachings and came to find me? "
