Is It Possible to Sell This for a Lot of Money...

The Empty Spirit Sect, as the largest sect in Wutong Province, is also the venue for the Wutong Province Grand Competition in previous years.

Moreover, in every Sect Grand Tournament, they have contributed the most money to the prize pool.

no way.

They have money and power, that's why they're so assertive...

However, Jiang Lin felt that the benefits of the Sect Grand Tournament far outweighed the investment of the Empty Spirit Sect.

After all, this is just like hosting the World Cup or the Olympics.

Why are so many countries vying to host this event?

This is not only an opportunity to Manifestation of Sainthood in front of others, but also a chance to increase brand awareness and boost tourism in the surrounding area.

Moreover, this can enhance a sense of belonging within the sect.

For example, Jiang Lin encountered disciples of the Empty Spirit Sect who were training outside several times during his training.

The disciples of major sects certainly wouldn't be like those characters in the novel, readily proclaiming "I am XXX from XXX sect" at the slightest provocation, nor would they bully men and women, cause trouble for no reason, or desperately seek attention, acting like the younger brother of a villain.

While there certainly are some, they are definitely a very small minority, and generally don't hold a high position within the sect.

Disciples of high Empty Spirit Sect, the male disciples are generally elegant and dashing, while the female disciples are usually the type who eat small bites, are aloof, and keep men at bay.

Even if you're going to Manifestation of Sainthood in front of others, you still have to be "handsome" and "beautiful"; you absolutely can't lose your class.

This is not entirely incomprehensible.

After all, they are the number one sect, so they can't afford to lose face for their sect.

Moreover, the Empty Spirit Sect is extremely strict in selecting its disciples.

It is no exaggeration to say that the talent of the outer disciples of the Empty Spirit Sect is absolutely no less than that of the Inner Disciple of the Unadorned Willow Sect and the Dragon Gate Sect.

(The Dragon Gate Sect only divides itself into inner disciples and direct disciples. There are only a few Inner Disciple is very blurred. They basically mingle with the Inner Disciple, especially since Jiang Lin's year. Under Jiang Lin's meddling, Direct Disciple often forget their identity as direct disciples...)

Despite such rigorous selection of students, many talented individuals still flock to the program.

Every time the Empty Spirit Sect recruits students, it makes other sects envious.

There's nothing we can do; they're rich and powerful...

Therefore, under these circumstances, it is not difficult to understand why the disciples of the Empty Spirit Sect have a natural sense of superiority.

However, although the Empty Spirit Sect is a frequent champion in the Sect Grand Tournament, it cannot win the championship every time.

Just like Brazil and Germany can't win the World Cup every time.

There are always so many teams, and so many unexpected events. Besides, the Kongling Sect isn't the only top-tier Empty Spirit Sect.

Although the Empty Spirit Sect has a high undergraduate admission rate (there are many people at the Dragon Gate Realm), when it comes to cultivating top disciples, top sects all devote their entire sect's strength to their training, so the resources are not too different. Why should my Direct Disciple be inferior to yours?

Therefore... the Empty Spirit Sect hasn't won the championship for twenty years...

However, this time, with the Empty Spirit Sect having failed to win the championship for five consecutive years, people are saying that the Dragon Gate Sect is determined to win the championship this time.

However, that's a story for another time; it's hard to say now.

After traveling for more than half a month, Jiang Lin and his group arrived at Empty Spirit City, which was affiliated with the Empty Spirit Sect, at the foot of Empty Spirit Mountain.

It was more like a small country than a city.

Anyway, when Jiang Lin and the others looked at the map of Empty Spirit City, wow, it was actually a little bigger than the Imperial Capital!

Thinking back to his own Sun Moon Sect's Sun Moon Town, even including the outskirts, it was only about the size of Xiamen.

Is this the foundation of a top-tier sect?

I'm so jealous...

Since the Sect Martial Arts Competition wouldn't start for another month, Jiang Lin and the others weren't in a hurry to go up the mountain. Besides, even if they did go up, there wouldn't be any guesthouses for them to stay in.

Although Empty Spirit Mountain is a mountain range, there are only a few Mountain Peak that can be used as guesthouses, and all the sects in Wutong Province have sent disciples here, so there isn't enough room for everyone.

Furthermore, the Empty Spirit Sect only offers guesthouses with abundant Spiritual Power; they generally won't let people stay in places with weak Spiritual Power.

There's no way around it, it's embarrassing.

Therefore, they were able to live in the mountains.

Aside from the top sects, there are sects with some ties to the sects.

The Empty Spirit Sect will naturally give up some guest rooms, since other sects won't give up a single one, which is unusual. However, this will require bidding.

And you know what? The Dragon Gate Sect is the second type.

According to the patriarch, this story goes back to the past. The current Empty Spirit Sect Leader went down the mountain to gain experience in seclusion, but encountered misfortune and lost everything except some Protective Magical Treasure, leaving him in dire straits.

Just then, the Sect Leader happened to meet the patriarch, who then took him to a massage parlor for a thorough refresher course, as if opening up a whole new world for him.

After that, although they went their separate ways, the kindness of tutoring that opened up a new world was forever imprinted in the heart of the Sect Leader of the Empty Spirit Sect.

"Brother Jiang, I'm so sorry, we've made you suffer along with us..."

Arriving at the central area of Empty Spirit City, and gazing at the distant, otherworldly mountain range, Diao Da patted Jiang Lin on the shoulder as he looked up.

Just now, high in the sky, it seemed that disciples of the Dragon Gate Sect flew over. The leader seemed to be the Sect Leader of the Dragon Gate Sect. There were about twenty people in five groups, and they should be going to stay in the guest rooms of the Empty Spirit Sect.

There's nothing we can do. Our Sun Moon Sect isn't a major sect; in fact, it's a Demon Sect sect, and we have no connection with the Empty Spirit Sect. We don't have the money to rent guest rooms on the mountain...

This made Diao Da feel somewhat guilty.

After all, Brother Jiang could have easily teamed up with the Dragon Gate Sect; Dragon Gate Sect wouldn't have minded anyway. But Brother Jiang still chose us, and we feel a little guilty...

"Fine."

Jiang Lin shook his head.

It was indeed his senior sister and the others who flew over just now. Jiang Lin even felt that his senior sister was frantically scanning the central streets of Empty Spirit City as she flew.

However, as the team leader, the senior sister had to keep up with the Sect Leader's flying speed, so she could only glance at them briefly.

Moreover, the central area of Empty Spirit City is too crowded. Let alone my senior sister being at the Nascent Soul Realm Second Level, even if my master were at the Jade Purity Realm, it would be like winning the lottery if he could find me in this vast sea of people.

However, seeing that his senior sister had successfully emerged from seclusion, he felt relieved. Although Jiang Lin felt that there was unlikely to be any accidents during her breakthrough in cultivation...

"It's alright, Diao Da. It's just a guesthouse. I don't care. Being able to stay with you all and win the championship together is the greatest happiness!"

Brother Jiang!

In an instant, Jiji Bo and the others all wiped their eyes.

Although Brother Jiang may seem sleazy and stingy at times, I know that Brother Jiang is indeed the most loyal and affectionate person.

Jiang Lin patted Diao Da on the shoulder and affectionately put his arm around Jiji Bo's broad shoulders.

Looking towards that ethereal, otherworldly mountain...

The rare and precious flowers and herbs on this mountain, could they fetch a lot of money...?
