Sect Master Tongtian frowned upon hearing this, and said with displeasure, "Second Brother, I think you're just jealous of my Daoist principles, teaching without discrimination, which allows me to gain a large number of disciples.
I've only just started accepting disciples, and you want me to stop. If anyone else said that, I would have drawn my sword long ago."
"You! Forget it, I don't want to talk about you.
Those you take in are all born from moisture and hatched from eggs, covered in fur and wearing horns; they will never amount to anything." Yuanshi Tianzun said helplessly.
Yuanshi Tianzun stopped speaking when he saw the Grand Pure Saint's gaze.
Because both of them knew that this younger brother was stubborn and could not be persuaded. Only by letting him suffer would he understand his mistakes.
"I will prove to you that my Daoist principles will absolutely work.
Eldest Brother, give me a copy of the cultivation method for the Human Race, I'll use it to teach my disciples.
Second Brother, give me yours too. Your Eight-Nine Arcane Art body refinement technique is pretty good, hand it over.
When my Jie Sect accepts disciples, neither of you comes to give gifts, and I have to come to your door to get them." Sect Master Tongtian said without the slightest politeness, reaching out his hand to signal his two elder brothers to give him something, with a hint of grievance in his expression.
"Eldest Brother, aren't you going to do something about this? He's getting more and more outrageous," Yuanshi Tianzun couldn't help but complain, a trace of helplessness flashing in his eyes.
However, he very readily gave his cultivation method to Sect Master Tongtian, without the slightest hesitation.
"You want me to say something to him? Third Brother is obviously spoiled by you, and you still say you want him to suffer a little.
Now, whatever he wants, you give it to him." The Grand Pure Saint said with dissatisfaction, glancing at his Second Brother.
With his two-faced approach, it would be strange if Third Brother wasn't spoiled by him; he's always been so hypocritical.
"Hehe, I knew Second Brother was the best to me, Second Brother loves me.
What about you, Eldest Brother? Oh right, give me a copy of the alchemy methods as well." Sect Master Tongtian said happily, immediately wrapping his arm around Yuanshi Tianzun's shoulder enthusiastically.
He was completely like a good brother, then turned and reached out to the Grand Pure Saint.
At this moment, the Grand Pure Saint looked at his Second Brother, who was smiling like a child, and was particularly speechless.
Third Brother just sweet-talked you a little, and you turned into this.
In the end, he also gave several jade slips.
Alchemy methods were not so easy to learn, but giving them to him wouldn't hurt, since he wouldn't master them anyway.
"Eldest Brother, now that you've given them, come on, give me a few Nine Revolution Golden Pills." Sect Master Tongtian continued, reaching out his hand after receiving the jade slips.
"No, I'm keeping these for myself to nurture the Human Race," the Grand Pure Saint immediately refused.
"So stingy, forget it then, I'm leaving.
Second Brother, I'll come back to Kunlun Mountain to see you when I have time." Sect Master Tongtian said with dissatisfaction, decisively tearing open space and leaving.
After all, Li Er was still at home, and that was where his glimmer of hope lay; it wouldn't do to be away for too long.
However, his behavior subverted Yuanshi Tianzun and the Grand Pure Saint's expectations; Third Brother actually didn't cling and pester them for things like he used to.
"Eldest Brother, look at how reluctant you were to part with those few Golden Pills; be careful Third Brother ignores you in the future," Yuanshi Tianzun said with dissatisfaction, a trace of resentment flashing in his eyes.
It was rare for the three brothers to be together, and if Third Brother wanted them, he should just give them to him; they were brothers after all.
Could those few Nine Revolution Golden Pills really be more important?
The Grand Pure Saint was speechless and turned to go to the alchemy room, not wanting to pay attention to this Second Brother who had problems with his brain.
They had agreed to educate Third Brother together, but you were the first to betray.
"Eldest Brother, what do you think about Third Brother's glimmer of hope?" Yuanshi Tianzun asked calmly, a strange light flashing in his eyes, the light of deduction.
"What do you want to say?" The Grand Pure Saint stopped what he was doing and said seriously, his expression becoming very solemn.
"You know, Third Brother lied; his index finger was shaking unconsciously." Yuanshi Tianzun said sternly, a hint of displeasure flashing in his eyes. You just know how to spoil Third Brother.
"Yes, he lied. That's not a glimmer of hope; it should be Dunyi.
But, that should be something Father God left him." The Grand Pure Saint said calmly, his deep eyes flashing with the Daoist rhythm of Taiji.
"I'm afraid he won't be able to control it. Now the Demon Race and Witch Race are strong; one has Nüwa's support, and the other is the orthodox descendant of Pangu."
"What are you afraid of? We're here, he won't die."
Golden Turtle Island.
Li Er woke up and felt more relaxed than ever before.
He didn't have the feeling of exhaustion upon waking up that he had before transmigrating. Looking at the decorations in the cave, he felt even better.
However, this state only lasted for less than a minute.
Thinking of the terrifying dangers of the Primordial World, his heart immediately jumped.
Because he had not successfully become a disciple, those hundreds of thousands of demons outside could turn him into a delicious meal at any time.
Immediately, he activated the invisible Golden Pill within his body and began to try to absorb the spiritual energy outside.
After all, if he could cultivate, he definitely had to work hard to increase his strength and achieve self-preservation.
"This… the speed can't compare to devouring the spiritual energy lotus. It may be because I don't have a cultivation method." Li Er tried it and stopped, no longer continuing. He knew it was useless.
Cultivation depends on resources; effort is insignificant in the face of resources.
Of course, exceptional talent can solve some resource problems, but this doesn't seem to apply to Li Er.
"Li Er! I'm back." Sect Master Tongtian's voice interrupted Li Er's thoughts. He walked out and saw Sect Master Tongtian jumping down from the crooked clouds.
"Brother Pan Three, you're back so soon."
"Here, this is the magic robe I found. You know, many demons have come to Golden Turtle Island, and this is what they sent."
By the way, refine it." Sect Master Tongtian handed the robe to Li Er, and tidied up the clothes he had changed into.
"I also got one for myself; the original one was ruined when I went out traveling."
Li Er took the robe, his expression a little strange.
This magic robe was probably obtained by killing demons. Pan Laosan's behavior is quite impressive.
"Cough cough! Brother Pan Three, I haven't learned any magic techniques; I don't know how to refine it," Li Er said a little embarrassedly.
Actually, he also wanted to say, it's just a robe, how can I wear it without pants?
"Just use your mind to mobilize the magic power in your body and inject it into it. Then, you can transform it into the clothes you like according to your wishes," Sect Master Tongtian explained patiently.
He was starting to wonder. His sermons clearly contained knowledge of this, and it was naturally described through Daoist magic.
Li Er immediately tried it and quickly refined the robe.
With a thought, the robe transformed into a piece of black clothing covering his body.
"Black is dirt-resistant," he muttered to himself.
"Thank you, Brother Pan Three. By the way, do you have any news about Jie Sect accepting disciples?" Li Er asked curiously.
If he's not a disciple of Jie Sect for a day, his heart won't be at peace for a day.
"What's wrong?" Sect Master Tongtian asked, puzzled, seeing Li Er's worried face.
If I'm not a Jie Sect disciple, the hundreds of thousands of demons on this Golden Turtle Island will definitely kill us if they attack.
So, even becoming an outer disciple is fine," Li Er said, expressing his concern, revealing his intention to ask this Brother Pan Three to help him get in through the back door.
After all, being able to receive guidance from Sect Master Tongtian couldn't possibly mean he was a nobody.
"Errand disciple? What does that mean?" Sect Master Tongtian asked in confusion.
He only knew titles such as disciple, attendant, nominal disciple, and outer disciple, but he had never heard of the term "errand disciple."
"Seriously, Brother Pan Three, what is your status in Jie Sect? Don't you even know?" Li Er asked somewhat doubtfully.
He originally thought that this Human Race brother's status in Jie Sect should be very high.
It seems that this back door is not going to work.
"I really don't know. What exactly do you mean by this errand disciple you mentioned?" Sect Master Tongtian asked again.
Li Er looked at the other party's pure eyes, estimating that this Brother Pan Three might just be a lucky guy who had only received one teaching from Sect Master Tongtian, and he had cultivated a divine power.
He sighed helplessly and explained, "The disciple levels of Jie Sect are roughly as follows: Supreme Elder, Sect Master, Elder, Chief Disciple, Personal Disciple, True Disciple, Inner Disciple, Ordinary Disciple, Outer Disciple, and finally, Errand Disciple.
The Supreme Elder is a person of the same generation as the Sect Master's grand-uncle, master uncle, or grandmaster, with profound cultivation and a respected status.
The Sect Master possesses the highest authority as the head of a sect.
Elders are of the same generation as the Sect Master or older and are high-level managers of the sect.
The Chief Disciple is the senior brother of the sect.
Personal Disciples are disciples directly taught by the Sect Master.
True Disciples have a higher status among the disciples and are usually taught personally by the Elders.
Inner Disciples are slightly inferior to True Disciples, but they are closer to the core of the sect than Ordinary Disciples.
Ordinary Disciples are the foundation of the sect and can act in the name of the sect.
Outer Disciples are the peripheral disciples of the sect and need to pass an assessment to be promoted to Ordinary Disciples.
Errand Disciples are people who are responsible for doing chores in the sect, and if they do well, they may be upgraded."
Sect Master Tongtian was stunned. He had never thought that a sect could be divided into levels and managed so meticulously.
Could this be the meaning of the glimmer of hope for Jie Sect?
He had been troubled by the management of Jie Sect and worried about the whereabouts of hundreds of thousands of demons.
But with this set of hierarchical systems, these hundreds of thousands of demons no longer seemed so difficult to manage.
"Brother Pan Three, which level do you think you should be?" Li Er asked.
