A Beautiful Woman's Request, a Full-Time Sect

Yu Ke watched as the beautiful woman turned gracefully and walked over slowly.

A thread of doubt rose in his heart.

In his memory, whether from his predecessor or from the past few days of experience, he had never crossed paths with this beautiful woman at all.

And yet the mother of this white-clad youth before him seemed to be walking toward him on purpose.

His charm already had nowhere left to go!

Cross that out!

After rejecting that thought.

Yu Ke could not help but straighten slightly, releasing a kindly smile at the corner of his mouth.

As the beautiful woman drew near!

Yu Ke caught a waft of fragrance at the tip of his nose.

Sure enough, color, fragrance, and flavor were all complete!

The ancients truly did not deceive me.

The beautiful woman's face was reflected in Yu Ke's eyes.

Her looks were delicate and gorgeous, her eyes rippling with light.

She gave off a dignified, virtuous feeling.

However, her figure was really explosively good, which instead created a contrast.

Coming straight at him were two giant mountains.

From the front, watermelons.

Her figure was a pear.

From behind, a honey peach.

Although Yu Ke had studied many teachers' courses in his previous life, he was still stunned by her beauty.

Sure enough, the women of the cultivation world could be summed up in one word.

Excellent!

The beautiful woman, however, knew propriety. She smiled gently and said softly:

"Feng of the Cai Clan of the Great Zhou Divine Capital greets Young Master Yu."

Her voice was gentle and polite, making Yu Ke feel somewhat flattered.

"The Great Zhou Cai Clan?"

Yu Ke's heart stirred. Could it be the Cai Clan of the Divine Capital? This name was like the sun at high noon in the Great Zhou Divine Dynasty.

Feng was her surname. Only after marrying as someone's wife would she be addressed this way.

This world was a great age of cultivation!

Between men and women, there was no view of high and low. Everything depended on strength as the supreme standard.

In a world where individual mighty power was infinitely magnified.

There was no lack of great female cultivators who kept male cultivators.

When men and women became dao companions, it was mostly for cultivation. For a woman to place Cai in front meant that after marrying into the Cai Clan, her cultivation was not considered outstanding.

That was not strange!

The Cai Clan of the Great Zhou Divine Capital was a family even more illustrious than the Langya Wang Clan.

Even within the Great Zhou Divine Dynasty, it could steadily rank in the top three, with four cultivators of the great True Person realm presiding over it.

One had to know!

The Yu Clan had only ever produced one great True Person, yet had stood firm in Luoshui for so many years and was known throughout the world as a famous clan.

Now that the Cai Clan had four great True Persons alive in the world, it could already be called an "immortal clan."

Facing such a beautiful woman from a great family of the Divine Capital, Yu Ke could not help becoming even more puzzled.

And!

The other party actually knew his name?

Clearly, she had looked into his background.

He also returned the greeting politely.

The beautiful woman looked at the bowl in Yu Ke's hand, a full bowl of spiritual rice almost spilling over, and a puzzled expression appeared on her face.

A disciple who could rent such a large courtyard in the outer sect definitely had a decent background and strength, and his life should also be rather comfortable.

But Yu Ke before her was personally cooking for himself, which surprised her somewhat.

It was truly strange!

She had already investigated the origins of the three people in this house.

Yu Ke of the east room came from the Luoshui Yu Clan, a third-rate aristocratic family.

Xie Wanwan of the north room came from the wealthy Xie Clan.

There was also one person in the south room whose origins were mysterious and impossible to investigate.

Feng Ping had used some connections before discovering that this house seemed to have been vacant for several hundred years.

Even when outer sect courtyards had been in urgent shortage, the sect had still kept it reserved.

The owner behind it also could not be traced.

Yu Ke did not mind the beautiful woman's puzzlement!

He casually set the bowl to one side and wanted to invite the beautiful woman inside to sit, but then he thought that his residence was rather simple and probably not very suitable.

And so the two of them stood at the doorway and began chatting.

During the conversation, Yu Ke learned the beautiful woman's name.

Feng Ping.

She was indeed from the Cai Clan of the Divine Capital, an illustrious family that possessed four great True Persons.

This also explained why the white-clad young master had spent money so lavishly.

Feng Ping's own family was most likely also extraordinary. Families like this chose wives of matching households and equal doors.

Of course!

What shocked Yu Ke was that Feng Ping's husband had already passed away.

Her married-woman attribute was already maxed out.

After learning this news, Yu Ke could not help sizing Feng Ping up a few more times.

He noticed that although Feng Ping's face was gentle and graceful, her eyes revealed a resilient and independent bearing.

Single mothers seemed to be just like this.

A woman was weak by nature, but as a mother she became strong.

The super-mystical world was the same.

"Young Master Yu, forgive my presumptuous interruption. There is truly a matter I must ask of you." Feng Ping finally voiced her request.

Yu Ke listened seriously, waiting for her to continue.

Feng Ping went on, "This humble woman would like Young Master Yu to sublet this house to me."

After Yu Ke heard this, he lifted his eyes and looked over the small courtyard.

Good fellow, he had thought she was here for him.

So she had come for the small courtyard.

This small courtyard did indeed have a quiet, secluded environment suitable for cultivation.

Originally, only he and Xie Wanwan had lived here. Although the other two courtyards had owners, no one had ever come to live in them. The two of them living here had indeed been peaceful and carefree.

After the white-clad youth arrived two days ago, he had moved into the west room, and now only the courtyard of the south room remained empty.

Although Yu Ke was somewhat puzzled, he still did not quite understand Feng Ping's intention.

"But the Divine Firmament Sect has rules. Only Divine Firmament disciples can live in the residences outside, right?"

Feng Ping smiled and replied, "Young Master Yu, please rest assured on this point. Even if the sect holds someone accountable, there won't be any serious punishment."

"Besides, I remember that Young Master Yu only has a little over a year left in the outer sect, yes? You will have to leave the Divine Firmament Sect soon. At most, you will only live in this courtyard for one more year."

Yu Ke nodded.

The facts were indeed so.

As long as enough spiritual stones were paid each month, the sect indeed would not really ask whether you were truly living here.

Yu Ke had one year remaining before his cultivation life as an outer sect disciple would come to an end.

In the Divine Firmament Sect, Yu Ke had already spent five years as an outer sect disciple. He only needed to pass one more year, and his time as an outer sect disciple would end.

The Divine Firmament Sect's disciple system was similar to a full-time university from his previous life. Disciples had six years to cultivate away from production.

However, unlike a university, Divine Firmament Sect disciples had to bear all expenses during their cultivation themselves, including the fees for asking teachers and elders for instruction.

It was fucking black-hearted.

On the other hand, the Divine Firmament Sect provided its disciples with abundant resources.

As long as disciples were willing to spend spiritual stones, they could seek out inner sect teachers and elders, and could obtain all kinds of Foundation Establishment methods and immortal scriptures, such as the Essential Guide to Tending the Field and the like.

However, these resources and knowledge could not be privately passed on to the outside world. Disciples had to swear an oath in the ancestral hall of the Divine Firmament Sect.

In the super-mystical world, oaths all received a response from the Great Dao. If one violated them, the consequences were severe.

In the Divine Firmament Sect, you could enjoy the foundations of a great sect that had stood for ten thousand years.

It was like providing you with a super platform.

And there was also a fair and just upward path of advancement.

For those disciples with outstanding aptitude, they could directly enter the inner sect as disciples and enjoy the resources the sect tilted toward them for nurturing. This was undoubtedly a shortcut onto the path toward becoming strong.

As for those disciples whose aptitude was slightly inferior but whose family backgrounds were decent, they could spend money to enter the outer sect, and by passing the outer sect's assessments, they likewise had a chance to join the inner sect and obtain the same treatment and resources as inner sect disciples.

If your aptitude was not enough, and your background would not do either.

Come, come, come!

There were also miscellaneous servant disciples for you to choose.

Through step-by-step effort and advancement, they likewise had the possibility of obtaining higher status and better treatment.

This kind of institutionalized design gave every disciple a clear goal and motivation, and also made the entire sect full of vitality and competitiveness.

Yu Ke could only say that whoever designed this whole set of systems was truly a fucking genius.
