Plans for Taking Disciples

Ma Changlong had lived half his life and never imagined that he would one day embark on the path of cultivation.

Although he had waited more than three years for this opportunity.

But when it actually happened, he always had a feeling that it wasn't quite real.

But none of that matters!

Holding the lunchbox in his hands, he shook his head in amazement as he ate, lost in thought.

I never expected that the food inside this immortal sect would taste so much better than the food at the Lingxian Dining Seat down the mountain!

Thank goodness I made it in.

Otherwise, he would regret it for the rest of his life if he missed out on these delicious foods!

Anyway, the eldest son in the family was getting old, and Ma Changlong had already raised his eldest son over the past three years and smoothly taken over the family business.

With the eldest son taking care of the whole family, I won't have to worry about anything.

It's so nice to be able to enjoy the food right here in the temple gate.

It would be even better if the immortal who created such delicious food could take him as a disciple...

More than a hundred people sat together under the night sky, eating the exact same boxed lunch, each with their own dreams, worries, and expectations.

"Hey, there are two meals here,"

The last person to reach into the basket saw that there were still two portions left and looked puzzled. He then turned and called out:

Is anyone else still waiting for their food?

Two breaths passed, but no one answered.

Someone in the crowd then spoke up and suggested:

"Why don't we just take it out and leave it? Who knows, someone might be somewhere else by now. We don't want them to come back hungry. If no one claims it by tomorrow, then we can take it to Elder Liu."

The person by the vegetable basket thought it made sense, so they took out the last two portions of food and placed them on the stone table next to them.

He then turned and greeted everyone:

"If anyone around you comes back from outside and hasn't eaten yet, please remember to tell them."

After saying that, he happily took his meal and went to eat it to the side.

After the new disciples took their lunchboxes out of the vegetable basket, the basket floated up from the ground again, wobbled a couple of times, and then flew away in the direction they had come from.

Meanwhile, on the Yaoguang Floating Island.

Jiang Youfu and Liu Shengsheng were still busy.

Not long after the dinner for the new disciples was delivered, he prepared two more elaborate dishes.

He had cooked a lot when he was cooking for the new disciples, and now the extra portions were all served on the plates.

After the two main dishes were prepared, Liu Shengsheng used Sound Transmission Talisman talisman to notify the elders of the Lingxian Sect that it was time to eat.

Normally, Jiang Youfu would prepare dinner for everyone at the Spirit Cuisine Hall every evening, so there was no need for such a special notification.

However, in order to accommodate the hungry newlyweds, we had to postpone the mealtime for the elderly.

Although now almost none of them need to eat every day.

There are times when dinner has to be skipped due to other commitments.

But Jiang Youfu definitely won't skimp on dinner tonight.

Because today is the important day that Brother Xiao is leaving the pass!

Of course, he had to prepare a delicious meal for everyone to celebrate.

When Mo Yuanjiao received the notification that dinner was served, he had just returned from Xiushui Village and dropped Han Weishu and Tong Jialiang off at their accommodation.

Upon hearing that dinner was finally served, he immediately used his Movement Method to rush towards the Spirit Cuisine Hall at top speed.

Almost everyone in various parts of the sect, doing their own thing, was like this.

In no time at all, the large dining tables outside the Spirit Cuisine Hall were filled with people.

Recently, due to the sect's Gu Yuxiao and the Fang Mancang and Fang Manliang, who had been traveling around, have all returned.

When they are outside, they temporarily leave the management to their respective subordinates.

Everyone was present, and they watched with delight as Liu Shengsheng manipulated the dishes to fly to each table.

Xiaoluan, Big Peach, and Fang Tuantuan also sat in chairs made specifically for them, waiting to dine with everyone.

After all the dishes were served, everyone's eyes turned to Lin Xiao.

The dinner officially began only after he said to start eating.

Qin Jianghe raised the spirit wine to Lin Xiao and said:

"Brother Xiao, congratulations on successfully advancing to the Nascent Soul!"

Congratulations, Brother Xiao!

Congratulations, Sect Master!

"Giggle!"

"... Meow."

Lin Xiao, who had been in seclusion for a year, was overjoyed to see everyone gathered together like this.

He tilted his head back and drank his cup of spiritual wine, feeling its sweet, rich, and lingering flavor.

This spirit wine was brewed by Jiang Youfu using a small portion of spirit rice after last year's bumper harvest of spirit grains. The quantity was limited, and Liao Pantu usually couldn't even get a drink of it.

Today, Jiang Youfu generously offered everyone a drink.

After drinking the wine, Lin Xiao smiled and said to everyone:

Thank you.

After a satisfying meal, it's finally time for some serious casual conversation.

Lin Xiao thought of the more than one hundred new people added to the disciple panel and asked about the matter of accepting disciples later.

"Who among you plans to take on apprentices tomorrow? How many? Have you discussed it beforehand?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Yunan immediately pulled out a small notebook from his Storage Bag:

"It's settled. Apart from Brother Xiao, whose situation was uncertain due to your previous seclusion, the confirmed disciples we can accept are Yigao, Yuanjiao for formations, Fuzi for spirit cooking, Tietou for weapon crafting, and Senior Liao for alchemy."

In fact, Liao Pantu was saying that he already had a best disciple in alchemy and didn't want to take on anyone else.

But those who know, know the real reason.

Liu Yunan continued:

"Liu Chun said he could take on apprentices to make talismans, but it's inconvenient for him to come back right now. However, his sister's condition has improved, and she can come back regularly to teach her disciples."

"Then there's the issue of numbers. Originally, everyone had their own limit on the number of disciples, but because the number of disciples joining this time was much smaller than expected, we didn't set any strict restrictions. We only discussed adjusting them slightly if the number of disciples became too unbalanced."

Lin Xiao was somewhat surprised by their arrangement.

"In that case, how are the arrangements made regarding the disciple's cultivation?"

Speaking of this, Liu Yunan put the small notebook back into his Storage Bag, then took out another small notebook and replied:

"Regarding the disciples' cultivation, I plan to hold a lecture hall in their Cultivation Hall every morning, and then arrange for instructors to take turns teaching them cultivation matters."

As he spoke, he opened his notebook and handed it to Lin Xiao:

"This is the list of instructors I selected based on everyone's current cultivation level and mastery of the various mental cultivation methods, along with their rotation order."

"Of course, if any lecturer has an emergency, they can report it to the General Affairs Hall, General Affairs Hall will coordinate according to the schedules of the other lecturers; if any special circumstances prevent all instructors from teaching, then the Cultivation Hall will be suspended, and the new disciples will temporarily study on their own."
