New Additions, Great Changes
"Grandmaster Fang took the lead," Shui Yao smiled. "The Northern Dark Earth Vein successfully advanced to Ancestral Vein, bringing abundant Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi and many rare resources. Grandmaster Fang felt it would be a waste not to utilize them, so he spearheaded the construction of this Luozhen Immortal City."
Li Yunjing nodded gently. "Come on, walk with me for a bit."
Li Yunjing then toured the Luozhen Immortal City with Shui Yao.
Along the way, disciples kept bowing to Li Yunjing, their eyes filled with awe and worship.
As Li Yunjing walked, he listened to Shui Yao report on the sect's development over the past two years.
"Senior brother, in addition to building the Luozhen Immortal City, we have also comprehensively upgraded the disciple training system," Shui Yao said. "The previous disciple training system was rather chaotic, and the allocation of resources was not reasonable enough."
After discussion, the elders formulated a completely new tiered training system.
We divide our disciples into four levels: Outer Disciple, inner disciple, Core Disciple, and True Disciple.
"Outer Disciple are those with cultivation Foundation Establishment Realm or below."
A varying number of Low-Grade Spirit Stone will be distributed monthly based on cultivation level, along with free basic pills, food, and lodging.
After reaching the Foundation Establishment stage, one has one opportunity to take an assessment each year. Those who pass the assessment are promoted to inner disciple. If one fails the assessment three times, one will permanently lose the opportunity to become inner disciple.
"Inner disciple are those at the Golden Core Stage... Below the True Disciple, we have specially added Core Disciple."
Core Disciple must have reached the Golden Core Perfection or higher in cultivation.
These Core Disciple, each possessing their own independent cave abode, are the pillars of our Luozhen Sect; each of them will be able to stand on their own.
True Disciple are selected from among the Core Disciple; they are the Core Disciple among the Core Disciple...
Shui Yao spoke slowly, and Li Yunjing listened and nodded.
Upon learning of the addition of Core Disciple, Li Yunjing inwardly agreed.
This made the division of responsibilities among the disciples of the Luozhen Sect much clearer.
In the past, the Luozhen Sect had Outer Disciple, inner disciple, and True Disciple.
Because the standards for True Disciple are very high, most disciples with average or mediocre talent can only become inner disciple and cannot become True Disciple.
The benefits and treatment between inner disciple and True Disciple are completely different.
For those disciples who are not able to become True Disciple but are exceptionally capable, the benefits and treatment of inner disciple are rather low.
While these newly added Core Disciple cannot become True Disciple, they can become Core Disciple.
In this way, their welfare benefits will be improved, allowing them to better realize their value.
"After a rigorous selection process, we have chosen a total of eighteen True Disciple." Shui Yao's face showed a proud expression. "They are all geniuses selected from among the entire sect's disciples, each with their own special talents and unlimited potential."
"Oh? Who are they?" Li Yunjing asked with interest.
"For example, Qin Feng, who recently became True Disciple, is skilled in swordsmanship. He broke through to the Nascent Soul Early Stage at the young age of thirty and is the number one swordsman among the younger generation of the sect."
Another female disciple, Lin Wan'er, is skilled in alchemy. She is only nineteen years old, but she is already a top-tier third-grade Alchemist. She is just one step away from entering the Nascent Soul and becoming a fourth-grade Alchemist.
Besides the human race, there is also the Demon Race disciple Mo Jiao, who is exceptionally talented and has already reached the Spirit Communication Middle Stage Transformation realm at the age of three hundred..."Shui Yao introduced them one by one.
Li Yunjing felt extremely gratified after hearing this.
Li Yunjing was especially pleased when he learned that a Demon Race disciple had appeared among the True Disciple.
Recruiting Demon Race into the Luozhen Sect was one of the strategies Li Yunjing had mentioned before.
After entering the Great Wilderness, Li Yunjing discovered that the number of Demon Race in the Great Wilderness far exceeded that of the Demon Race in the Five Provinces.
The vast majority of these Demon Race live in dire straits.
This gave the Luozhen Sect the opportunity to bring these Demon Race under its control.
These Demon Race were on the verge of life and death, and their past conflicts with humans had long since vanished without a trace.
Among these Demon Race, there are quite a few with considerable talent and potential.
That's why Li Yunjing decided on this strategy.
Li Yunjing believed that the environment could change a demon.
Under the tutelage of the Luozhen Sect, these Demon Race do not harbor hatred towards humans, so Li Yunjing is not afraid of the Demon Race turning against him.
"With these eighteen True Disciple, there is hope for the future of the Luozhen Sect!" Li Yunjing exclaimed at this moment.
"In addition to the tiered training system, we have also improved the curriculum," Shui Yao continued. "Besides basic cultivation courses, we also offer courses in combat tactics, alchemy, weapon crafting, formations, earth veins, and Demon Race culture, among others. Disciples can freely choose courses based on their interests and strengths."
"Furthermore, we have also established several special classes,"
For example, the Earth Vein Cultivator Class uses teaching materials personally compiled by the Northern Dark True Spirit to train special cultivators who can control the power of the earth veins.
The Demon Race Cultivator Class is taught by Senior Alligator Dragon and seniors from various Demon Race, aiming to cultivate Demon Race geniuses who will submit to the sect.
The Elite Combat Skills Class, personally overseen by Grandmaster Fang, trains combat cultivators skilled in practical combat.
"To improve our disciples' combat abilities, we have also established a strict assessment system, with a small competition every month and a large competition every year. The top ten in each large competition will receive generous rewards, including Spirit Stone, pills, magic Law Treasure, Cultivation Method, and even the opportunity to cultivate in the core area of Luozhen Island -Grotto-Heaven."
Li Yunjing nodded repeatedly. This brand-new disciple training system was very scientific and reasonable, and could maximize the potential of the disciples and cultivate more outstanding talents for the sect.
"By the way, Senior Brother," Shui Yao said, "After the Northern Dark True Spirit became the Ancestral Vein, it spent a year gradually managing and nourishing the vast territory we control. Now, the entire vast territory has become a veritable Blessed Land for cultivation."
"Oh? What specific changes have occurred?" Li Yunjing asked.
"The changes are huge!" Shui Yao said excitedly. "First of all, the concentration of Spiritual Qi has increased tenfold compared to before."
The Spiritual Qi energy concentration in core areas like Azure Jiao Marsh and Flying Dragon Ridge has reached twenty times higher!
"Secondly, the number of Spirit Vein has increased from 108 to 360, forming a complete network of Spirit Vein. These Spirit Vein are interconnected and mutually nourishing, making the distribution of Spiritual Qi throughout the territory more even."
"Most importantly, the affinity with the Principle of heaven and earth has been greatly enhanced."
Now, the chances of disciples breaking through bottlenecks are much higher than before! Many disciples who had been stuck at a bottleneck for many years have successfully broken through this year.
"In addition, many rare and heavenly materials and earthly treasures have appeared that were not seen before."
For example, deep within Flying Dragon Ridge, a Millennial Vermilion Fruit Forest was discovered, containing thousands of thousand-year-old Vermilion Fruit trees; at the bottom of Azure Jiao Marsh, a five-thousand-year-old snow lotus and spiritual herbs capable of nourishing the soul were found...
"We've also discovered some special Blessed Land. For example, the Dao Comprehension Cliff, where cultivation makes it easier to comprehend the Principle of heaven and earth, and the Sword Washing Pond, which can nourish and repair sword-type Law Treasure Law Treasure, increasing their power by ten percent..."
"Now, the entire ten thousand li territory controlled by the Luozhen Sect has become one of the best cultivation grounds in the entire Tianyuan Continent. Every day, countless Rogue Cultivator come to join us, hoping to settle down within the Luozhen Sect's territory."
