Over the years, Xiao Yu had never found an opportunity to enter the forbidden grounds shared by the three sects of Cloud Dream Mountain, and thus had never obtained any roots from the Spirit-Eye Tree. It had always been a source of regret for him.
Joining the Falling Cloud Sect after forming his Nascent Soul had been Xiao Yu's plan all along. Once he joined, if he asked for a section of root, they would surely handle the matter for him.
But Xiao Yu could not appear too eager just then, so he wore a conflicted expression and remained silent, neither agreeing to join nor refusing.
Seeing that Xiao Yu had not rejected him outright, the silver-haired elder grew even more delighted and immediately said earnestly:
"Rest assured, fellow Daoist. If you join our sect as a grand elder, you won't need to handle any day-to-day affairs. Your presence alone will serve as a deterrent. You can devote yourself entirely to your own pursuits, and you'll also receive a generous annual stipend of Spirit Stones.
"Even more conveniently, should you need any spirit medicines, materials, or other items, you can simply instruct the disciples to find them. You won't have to expend your own time and effort searching. That benefit alone could save you a tremendous amount of time and energy."
"My senior brother is right. Moreover, fellow Daoist, you've only just formed your Nascent Soul, so you must still be quite unfamiliar with refining it and with your future cultivation. If you join our sect, the two of us are willing to share all our experience and insights without holding anything back. Although we're still at the early Nascent Soul stage, we've spent several centuries in this realm and have accumulated considerable knowledge in these matters." Lü Luo joined
