The front of the Tianji Hall, which used to be deserted, suddenly became very lively. Rogue Cultivators lined up in three rows and registered with Hua Ci, Yiyi, and Kong Niu. They registered their basic information, including their name, origin, cultivation, how long they had been cultivating, their talent, and so on.
It did not mean that they would join the Jade Blood Sect after registration. If that were the case, it would be too simple. What they were doing now was just the most basic statistics. Who among these people would join the Jade Blood Sect in the end would have to be discussed by Lu Ye and Hua Ci.
When night fell, the Rogue Cultivators in front of the Tianji Hall dispersed. All the registration had been completed.
In front of the Tianji Hall, Lu Ye sat on the steps and read a booklet. Suddenly, he frowned. "Who registered this?"
The handwriting on the booklet was extremely ugly. Lu Ye had to read some of the words carefully before he could read them.
"It's me!" A muffled voice sounded. Lu Ye looked up and saw Kong Niu. Their eyes met, and Kong Niu smiled at Lu Ye.
Lu Ye was speechless.
After putting away the booklet, Lu Ye said, "Everyone has worked hard. Hua Ci and Chen Yu can stay. The rest of you can leave."
After a busy day, Yiyi, Ruan Lingyu, and Kong Niu left. The first two returned to the sect, while Kong Niu went to the practice room. He was a very hardworking person. Other than going back to the sect for meals, he spent most of his time in the practice room.
In the past, he had followed Hua Ci in Ying Mountain and did not have a good environment for cultivation. Things were different when he came to the Jade Blood Sect. Not only did he not lack cultivation resources, but the Spirit Qi of Heaven and Earth in the practice room was also very rich. These conditions were not comparable to those in Ying Mountain.
Kong Niu cherished the present very much.
In front of the Tianji Hall, Lu Ye, Hua Ci, and Chen Yu were screening the people who could be accepted into the sect. Chen Yu knew more about the Rogue Cultivators in the market. He did not dare to say that he knew their character like the back of his hand, but at least he knew more than Lu Ye and Hua Ci. With his help in screening, the quality of the new disciples would undoubtedly be better ensured.
There were 432 rogue cultivators in the makeshift market, and there were also 432 people who had registered in the three booklets. In other words, all the rogue cultivators had come to register. This kind of enthusiasm was beyond Lu Ye's expectations. He thought that it would be good if half of the rogue cultivators came to register.
The three of them busied themselves until the middle of the night, drafting a preliminary list of 100 people to be accepted into the sect. As for those who were not chosen, if they were willing to join the sect, they could do so. If they were unwilling, they would not force them. However, looking at the enthusiasm of the rogue cultivators today, as long as they were allowed to join the sect, they would definitely not refuse.
In the Spirit Stream Battlefield, many rogue cultivators would choose to attach themselves to one of the sects. That way, they would be able to use the basic facilities of the sect. For example, they would be able to practice cultivation in the cultivation rooms, build their own residences, and enjoy the blessings of the Heaven's Workings Pillars provided by the sect. Of course, when the sect was in trouble, the rogue cultivators would have to do their part and follow orders.
For example, if the sect's base was declared war, the rogue cultivators who had joined would have to participate in the war. If they refused, they would be stripped of their names.
It could be said that each sect's base on the Spirit Stream Battlefield had three types of personnel. The first type was the disciples of the sect, the second type was the cultivators from the alliance, and the last type was the rogue cultivators who had joined the sect.
The biggest difference between the former and the latter two was that they would receive a monthly salary from the sect, which would give them more cultivation resources.
However, there was no need to worry if they were not chosen in the first batch. Since the Jade Blood Sect had opened its doors and was accepting disciples, they would definitely continue to accept disciples. As long as they performed well, they would have a chance.
Chen Yu posted the list of 100 people on the notice wall of the makeshift market that very night. Those whose names were on the list were naturally overjoyed, while those whose names were not were naturally disappointed. Perhaps joining the Jade Blood Sect was a good choice. Chen Yu also deliberately revealed that the Jade Blood Sect would continue to accept disciples in the future, so the rogue cultivators could wait with peace of mind.
Lu Ye returned to the Sect and reported the progress of the recruitment to his Senior Sister Shui Yuan. At the same time, he also received some Spirit Stones and Spirit Pills from his Senior Sister Shui Yuan.
The next day, in the Heaven's Secret Hall of the Jade Blood Sect's base, Lu Ye and Hua Ci stood in front of a hundred cultivators lined up below them. Chen Yu was at the very front.
One hundred pairs of eyes stared at them and Lu Ye loudly said, "From today onwards, you are all registered disciples of the Jade Blood Sect and are no longer rogue cultivators with no one to rely on. I hope that you can advance and retreat together with the Sect, sharing glory and disgrace. Today, we are proud of the Sect, and perhaps one day, the Sect will be proud of us. I await that day, Sect Master awaits that day, and I also believe that as long as everyone works together, that day will definitely come!"
"Yes!" Everyone below shouted in unison.
Lu Ye nodded with satisfaction, "Those whose names are called, come forward!"
Hua Ci called out a name and a pleasant voice called out, "Chen Yu!"
"Disciple is here!" Chen Yu immediately stepped forward.
Lu Ye took out a large seal, this was the seal of his Guardian Envoy. Using the power of Heaven's Secret, he stamped it on the back of Chen Yu's hand before taking out a few Spirit Stones and Spirit Pills from the side and handing them to him. This was the monthly salary of a registered disciple and had been allocated by Shui Yuan last night. It wasn't much, not even enough for half a month of cultivation, but this was a benefit that every Sect had. Lu Ye urged, "Cultivate well."
"Yes," Chen Yu solemnly accepted.
"Zhang Hai."
"Disciple is here!"
"Liu Wu."
…..
Names were called out one by one and Lu Ye stamped his Guardian Envoy seal on the back of each person's hand before distributing their monthly salary. Everyone was in high spirits.
Looking at the hundred people gathered in the hall, Lu Ye's heart was filled with a myriad of emotions. The general framework of the station had been set up, but if he wanted to truly develop it, there was still a long way to go. The strength of these Rogue Cultivators wasn't too high. Below Chen Yu, there were only a few Sixth Order cultivators and not many Fifth Order cultivators. On top of that, these Rogue Cultivators weren't very talented, so their cultivation efficiency was worrying.
However, if their talent wasn't enough, they could make up for it with World Energy. Lu Ye was still arranging the Spirit Gathering Spirit Runes in the Cultivation Room, so as long as the World Energy density in the station increased, the efficiency of these disciples' early cultivation would not necessarily be worse than others.
The registration of the hundred disciples was quickly completed, and after they left, the hundreds of Rogue Cultivators who had been waiting outside poured into the hall.
These Rogue Cultivators were attached to Blue Blood Sect's station, so compared to the hundred disciples, they didn't have a monthly salary and were treated worse. For example, the Cultivation Room was given priority to the Sect's disciples.
Leaving the Rogue Cultivators to Hua Ci, Lu Ye left the hall and went to the Cultivation Room to arrange the Spirit Gathering Spirit Runes.
It wasn't until late in the evening that Hua Ci sent word that the Rogue Cultivators had been dealt with.
Lu Ye hurried back to Sky Secret Hall where Hua Ci was waiting.
"Let's begin."
What he needed to do now was to increase the World Energy density in the station, which was also the biggest gain he and Hua Ci had obtained from participating in the Battle of Spirit Creek.
The reason why he hadn't increased it when he returned was mainly because if the cultivation environment here improved, it would affect the Rogue Cultivators' choice.
Facts proved that he had worried too much. All the Rogue Cultivators in the makeshift city had either become Blue Blood Sect's registered disciples or chose to attach themselves to Blue Blood Sect, without exception.
Moreover, once the news spread out, more Rogue Cultivators would definitely rush over.
The basic World Energy density in any Sect's station was 10% higher than in the wild, and if one wanted to increase the World Energy density, they would have to buy a Sky Secret Pillar.
Before the Battle of Spirit Creek, Lu Ye had spent 500 merit points to buy a Sky Secret Pillar as a bargaining chip to participate in the Battle of Spirit Creek. Now, the World Energy density in their Sect's station was 20% higher than in the wild.
He had tried to buy another Sky Secret Pillar, but he didn't have any merit points left. However, the feedback he received was that it would cost 1,000 merit points.
Lu Ye vaguely felt that the denser the World Energy was, the more merit points he would have to spend to buy a Sky Secret Pillar. His Fourth Senior Brother had also said so.
Checking the marks on his body, he and Hua Ci had obtained a total of 88 Sky Secret Pillars during the Battle of Spirit Creek. Each of these Sky Secret Pillars was the most basic Sky Secret Pillar and was worth 500 merit points.
These Sky Secret Pillars could be exchanged for merit points, but because they were the property of the Sect, they could only be exchanged for Sect merit points and could not be directly exchanged for personal merit points.
The two could be exchanged in a certain way. For example, Lu Ye could donate his personal merit points and convert them into Sect merit points for the Blue Blood Sect, which would then be deposited in the Sky Secret Pillar.
The reason why the large Sects had so many merit points to buy a Sky Secret Pillar's Sky Secret Pillar was because of the contributions of many disciples. The matters in the station could not be solved by a single person. It required the concerted efforts of many disciples.
For example, as a guardian, Lu Ye had the heavy responsibility of guarding the encampment. Every month, he could receive a portion of the sect's merit points from the Tianji Pillar as his monthly salary. Hua Ci, as a deputy guardian, also had such benefits.
In the future, if a disciple performed well and made a great contribution to the Sect, in addition to spirit stones and spirit pills, they could also be directly rewarded with a certain amount of merit points. These merit points all came from the Sky Secret Pillar.
These things were the most basic of general knowledge, recorded in the jade slip that Li Baxian had given to Lu Ye.
Inside the Tianji Hall, Lu Ye raised his hand and pressed it against the Tianji Pillar. With a thought, he directly converted all 88 blessings into sect merit points. Immediately, the Tianji Pillar was filled with 44,000 sect merit points.
He didn't immediately use these merit points to buy more Sky Secret Pillars. Instead, he used his authority as a Guardian to give himself and Hua Ci their monthly salary for this month.
Hua Ci sensed this and looked down to check her battle marks. She was shocked, "Why are there so many?"
Her personal merit points had suddenly increased by 4400 points, which was 10% of her total merit points.
It was the same for Lu Ye.
"You didn't kill many people in the Chess Sea. Everyone is short on merit points. Take it first. Who knows when you'll need it."
"This is too much. I don't need it."
"You will need it."
If it weren't for the fact that the monthly salary couldn't exceed 10%, Lu Ye would have given even more.
These merit points had all been earned by him and Hua Ci in the Chess Sea, so it didn't matter if they were divided equally. However, considering that he still needed to increase the World Qi density of the Sect Station, several thousand merit points was indeed a large number. It was enough for the time being.
