Sacrificing the Si Clan to the Banner

After hearing Song Wen's account, the pavilion fell somewhat quiet.

Everyone remained silent, as if weighing the gains and losses in what Song Wen had said.

"May I ask, Senior Extreme Yin, if the Extreme Yin Sect grants such great freedom, what must we give after joining, and what can we gain?"

"Good question." Song Wen laughed heartily. "Joining the Extreme Yin Sect naturally comes with quite a few benefits."

"First, you will receive my protection. Once you join the Extreme Yin Sect, you will naturally become disciples of my sect. If others wish to harm you, they will first have to weigh whether they can bear the consequences."

"Second, upon completing sect missions, you can receive generous rewards."

"Third, through the sect, you can exchange what you have for what you lack without worrying that anyone will break their word."

"Furthermore, the sect has all manner of cultivation arts and secret manuals, spiritual herbs and medicinal pills, magical treasures and spiritual artifacts... You may purchase these treasures through the sect."

"As for what you must give..." Song Wen abruptly changed tack and continued. "There is no such thing as gain without labor in this world. Where there are rewards, there must naturally be contributions. Every Golden Core cultivator need only pay fifty thousand spirit stones each year to become a disciple of my Extreme Yin Sect."

Fifty thousand spirit stones!

The few of them were slightly stunned upon hearing this.

This was the first time they had heard that joining a sect required paying spirit stones to the sect.

After all that talk, wasn't this simply protection money?

"Rest assured, everyone. Once you join my Extreme Yin Sect, the benefits you receive each year will most certainly exceed fifty thousand spirit stones."

Song Wen was much like a shop
