A Miscalculation
After showing them around the Secret Garden, the next stop was naturally Yaoguang Floating Island.
After all, the entrance is right next door.
However, Liu Yunan glanced hesitantly at the new disciples behind him.
After walking around the mountainside, most of the new disciples were so excited their faces turned red...
Wouldn't it be a bit too exciting to take them to the floating island?
He secretly regretted his decision; he hadn't considered this issue beforehand.
After thinking it over, he decided to let everyone go back to their dormitories to rest first. After all, they had spent two days in the Heart-Questioning Road, and even with the Spiritual Qi nourishing their bodies, they were still somewhat exhausted.
Adding to the excitement of the journey, Liu Yunan was genuinely worried that these new disciples might collapse from exhaustion.
So he turned to the crowd and said:
"I'll show you the rest of the sect's territory tomorrow. That's all for today. Now, let me take you to the accommodation area to rest."
At the same time, he took out a Sound Transmission Talisman, inputted it with his Divine Sense for a moment, and then sent it to Qin Jianghe.
He then led the new disciples to the accommodation area.
Due to its high frequency of use, the Lingxian Sect's Sound Transmission Talisman is constantly being improved.
One of them is the Sound Transmission Talisman, which can be input using Divine Sense.
With this kind of Sound Transmission Talisman, when it's inconvenient to speak aloud, you can directly transmit messages using your Divine Sense.
Of course, before Lin Xiao went into seclusion, he was researching a communication tool that was said to be much more convenient than Sound Transmission Talisman. However, the moment of his breakthrough came too quickly, and he went to the Nature Platform before he could finish his research.
After leading the new disciples to the accommodation area, Liu Yunan pointed to rows of large thatched huts and coughed lightly as he introduced them:
"This will be your residence from now on. Your elders will guide you in building your dwellings. For the next few days, please rest in these thatched huts."
"If you get bored here, you can wander around the hillside and get familiar with the area, since you'll be going there often in the future."
He then pointed to a very spacious lobby located on the other side of the hill and said:
"That's the Cultivation Hall, where you'll be cultivating from now on. There are many cultivation manuals inside. If you have some free time, you can go over and browse through them, pick one to familiarize yourself with beforehand."
After explaining these points, Liu Yunan thought that that should be enough for now, and then concluded the day's itinerary:
"Alright, you must be tired after walking around for so long. Get some rest. Dinner will be served shortly. Let's all get to know each other; from now on, we're all fellow disciples."
After saying that, he took out his peach wood sword and flew away from the newlyweds' accommodation area.
After hearing his words, the new disciples stared blankly at the rows of thatched huts in the open space ahead, feeling somewhat lost.
Having just finished visiting the magical, mysterious, and beautiful places halfway up the mountain, they were suddenly told that their accommodations were thatched huts. The change in elevation was a bit too much for them, and they needed to process it.
Fortunately, it's temporary.
Each of the thatched huts here is quite large.
The ground inside the thatched hut was piled with stones, and large wooden planks were laid on top, which looked like they were meant to be used as beds.
The wooden planks in the thatched hut could probably sleep about twenty people.
Previously, Liu Yunan and his group were worried that there wouldn't be enough room for the newcomers, so they built quite a few thatched huts. Even with about a hundred people now, there would still be several empty rooms if ten or so people lived in one place.
Besides that, each thatched hut had a huge water vat next to it, and several large, relatively flat stones outside that could be used as tables.
There was nothing else.
However, many of these hundred or so new disciples come from poor families, and some are even from Xiushui Village.
They are fairly accepting of thatched huts.
After Elder Liu finished his introduction, he obediently walked into the thatched shed and took out the simple bedding prepared inside the Storage Bag containing his personal supplies that he had just received in the General Affairs Hall.
This small bag, which looks just like an ordinary purse, turned out to be surprisingly full of things when opened!
After receiving it and following Elder Liu's instructions, they opened it and were astonished.
During the visit, they would secretly open it again and again, showing how incredibly fascinating it was.
Having looked around, I naturally figured out the types of items inside.
The newlyweds, dressed simply or even shabbily, had already begun their preparations, while those dressed in fine clothes were still in shock.
It's just living in a thatched hut, isn't it?
If others can live here, then they can naturally live here too!
Regardless of the immortals' reasons for making such arrangements, these people, having finally joined the sect, certainly wouldn't be bothered by such trivial matters.
They followed one after another, imitating the actions of the people nearby who had already laid out their bedding on the wooden planks in the thatched huts, and awkwardly began their self-reliant cultivation life from then on.
The ratio of men to women among these hundred or so people is roughly equal.
They spontaneously split into two groups, one going to the left and one to the right.
The men occupied the few thatched huts on the left, while the women occupied the ones on the right.
There were two empty thatched huts in the middle, which served as a boundary.
Some of the women felt a little awkward living with so many people for the first time, but then they remembered that this was the realm of immortals, and that everyone would be fellow disciples and seek immortality, so they shouldn't be bound by worldly notions. As a result, their shyness dissipated.
Some of the weaker people were worried that they might get sick living in the drafty thatched hut, but after they entered the hut, they found that the temperature inside was actually quite comfortable!
After Zhu Xiurong quickly laid out her own bedding, she saw the little girl next to her struggling with her mattress, her forehead beaded with sweat, so she went over to help her tidy up.
After the bed was made, the little girl revealed her small, adorable teeth and smiled sweetly at Zhu Xiurong, whose Zhu Xiurong were gray:
"Thank you, Grandma! Grandma, my name is Tong Wan. My father said I am a lovely jade, you can call me Wanwan!"
Upon hearing this, Zhu Xiurong nodded kindly:
"Okay, from now on, Grandma will call you Wanwan."
Just then, a male voice came from not far outside the thatched hut, softly calling out to the women in the thatched hut area:
"Auntie Yang, how are things on your end?"
Upon hearing Liang Zhonghuai's voice, Zhu Xiurong knew he was worried about her but couldn't come over, so she gestured to Tong Wan and got up to leave.
Seeing Liang Zhonghuai standing in front of the thatched huts separating men and women, Zhu Xiurong said to him with a relaxed expression:
Don't worry, Zhonghuai, I'm fine.
Seeing that she was much better after seeing her daughter whom she had missed for many years, Liang Zhonghuai was very happy for her.
When do you plan to see her?
