"Heh heh, so it was the disciples who accepted your benefits who obtained these resources. But what about the other eight sects? Were we supposed to just watch your patriarch use these Medicine Field resources to bribe away all our disciples? Our sects would only suffer losses that way. Where would the benefits be?" The elder of the Divine Illusion Prefecture sneered, and when he said this, the other elders nodded in agreement.
"If you're dissatisfied, you can come to our Fallen Sword Immortal Sect. How about this? Everyone here can receive the same annual salary as your predecessors. Wouldn't that count as giving back to all of you?" Naturally, I had to try to persuade them. It only took a little lip service, after all.
Of course, I didn't think this trick would work every time. If it did, Yu Jiang wouldn't have been captured in the first place. There were still quite a few diehards, like the disciples of the Fallen Sword Immortal Sect, who were extremely difficult to persuade.
Sure enough, the elder of the Star Heaven Sword Sect gave a cold laugh and said, "Sect Master Zhao, it seems you often use this tactic. But do you really think everyone is like those spineless fellows? The Fallen Sword Immortal Sect has resources now, but how long can you squander them like this? Growing medicinal fields is different from other things. It probably won't be long before your Fallen Sword Immortal Sect's expenditures exceed its income!"
"Tsk, tsk. If we can afford to pay salaries, the disciples don't need you to recommend them. They'll come here on their own. If we can't afford the salaries, then even if they're willing to stay, I can't support them, can I? Aren't all of you worrying too much?" I retorted.
