Putting Knowledge to Use
Now that Senior Liao has spoken up to confirm it, everyone realized that the stingy Beast Garden owner, whom they had seen as someone who did nothing but eat, drink, sleep, and beat his apprentices for the past three years, was actually such an ambitious and studious chicken!
For a moment, many people felt ashamed of their own inferiority.
Looking at Xiaoluan's confident gaze, which seemed to say, "Hurry up and let me be a lecturer too," Liu Yunan hesitated before saying to it:
"Xiaoluan, since the new disciples are all human and they don't know the ' Hundred Beasts Spirit Speech,' the instructor must use human language throughout the entire lecture, okay?"
Xiaoluan Luan immediately patted her chest twice, very confident:
"No problem!"
Liu Yunan continued:
"You can't just get impatient and give up easily; you have to patiently answer everyone's questions, okay?"
Xiaoluan remained very confident:
"No problem!"
Seeing its persistence, Liu Yunan had already agreed in his heart, but he asked one last question as if to add a word of advice:
"Remember, instructors aren't allowed to hit their students."
Xiaoluan:...
Xiaoluan hesitated for a moment.
It turned its head and glanced at Big Peach beside it, and Big Peach also subconsciously glanced at it. The two chickens, master and apprentice, instantly locked eyes.
After a long while, Xiaoluan turned to Liu Yunan and said with difficulty:
"Alright then."
Anyway, if my claws get itchy, I can always beat up Big Peach.
However, when Big Peach heard that it had actually agreed, its previously dazed eyes instantly lit up as it looked at Liu Yunan:
"Giggle giggle giggle giggle giggle!"
It wants to be a new disciple too! It wants to attend classes in the new disciples' Cultivation Hall too!
Seeing Big Peach's impatient look, Xiaoluan couldn't stand it and gave it a disdainful look.
However, it did not stop the Big Peach.
Anyway, Elder Liu only said that he couldn't beat his disciples when he was a lecturer, but he didn't say that he couldn't do it at other times.
Xiaoluan thought about it carefully and realized that it wasn't too difficult for her.
After all, even if I become a lecturer, I'll only be teaching once every ten days.
There are plenty of opportunities to teach that silly apprentice Big Peach, a lesson.
The Big Peach was unaware of what her master was thinking; she only felt a chill run down her spine.
But it didn't care; it only stared at Liu Yunan, hoping he would agree.
However, Liu Yunan turned his gaze to Lin Xiao.
Receiving his questioning gaze, Lin Xiao smiled and said to Big Peach:
"Sure, of course. Anyone here who wants to go to the new disciples' area and attend classes can go. The Cultivation Hall is the sect's Cultivation Hall; everyone can go in and study."
Thus, Xiaoluan's appointment as a lecturer was finalized during this dinner party.
After that topic ended, Old Master Lin had been quietly puffing on his pipe the whole time, suddenly spoke up and asked:
"Yunan, how much longer do new disciples need to cultivate before they can use it?"
Hearing Old Master Lin's words, many people perked up:
"Yeah, yeah, Yunan, when are you going to be able to train the newcomers?"
"Son, you don't want your mother nagging you every day, do you?" Although Yang Jinshu's Law Enforcement Hall isn't busy right now, it doesn't stop her from helping everyone expedite orders.
Liu Yunan:...
How was he supposed to explain to them that the newcomers hadn't even finished touring the sect today, and that they'd have to continue the tour tomorrow, then they'd have to become apprentices, and then they'd have to do construction work... their cultivation progress definitely wouldn't be that fast.
It won't be as fast as everyone wants!
Don't think he doesn't know; they're probably hoping the new disciples can get some work done tonight!
The banquet ended with everyone asking Liu Yunan when the massive workforce of the new disciples would be ready to be put to use.
The list of eleven lecturers and their rotation schedule were posted by Liu Yunan overnight in the Cultivation Hall for the new recruits after the banquet.
Then he spent the entire night in the General Affairs Hall, hunched over a pile of notebooks, writing and drawing.
Fortunately, he is now Foundation Establishment cultivator, with excellent physical condition and recovery ability far exceeding that of ordinary people.
Otherwise, Lin Xiao was afraid that he would soon become severely nearsighted and physically weak.
--
The next day.
The sky was just beginning to lighten.
The new disciples' huts were already filled with the rustling sounds of people getting up.
The first night was spent in an unfamiliar place, in such a simple thatched hut, where most people slept fully clothed.
So when they woke up in the morning, everyone's clothes were all wrinkled and crumpled.
Someone then suggested:
"Everyone, weren't there sect uniforms among the supplies distributed to us by the General Affairs Hall yesterday? Why don't we all change into them today?"
Upon hearing this, everyone thought the suggestion was excellent and agreed, taking out their sect uniforms from their Storage Bag.
This outfit is exactly the same as the one many people remember.
They held it in front of them, filled with many emotions.
Finally, they became one of them.
The new disciples used blankets to create completely sealed spaces on both sides of the thatched hut, at the furthest points.
This makes it easier for everyone to change clothes.
However, no one expected that such a small matter would cause such a problem.
Some people don't know how to take off their clothes, let alone put them on.
A small portion of the new disciples come from wealthy families and have had personal servants attending to them since childhood. They have never done things like changing clothes themselves.
Even when he came to participate in the disciple assessment this time, he was accompanied by servants all the way.
Among these people, the majority were young masters and ladies from wealthy families.
Dayi, wealthy people, having lived for decades, can still manage to dress neatly when changing clothes.
But those young masters and ladies are a different story.
As soon as Xuanyuan Haoyue finished changing her clothes and crawled into the women's thatched hut from the changing room, several older women quickly pulled her over and helped her straighten her crooked clothes.
The man's situation was similar.
By the time everyone emerged from the thatched huts on both sides, dressed neatly, it was already broad daylight.
Just as they had finished washing up with the water from the large water vats next to the thatched hut, Liu Yunan appeared in front of the new disciples.
Seeing that everyone had gotten up, washed, and dressed, Liu Yunan was very satisfied.
They're all hardworking people.
Hardworking people are good.
Their sect desperately needs this kind of diligent, fresh blood to share the burden of affairs.
Since it was already the second day of the new disciples' initiation, but they hadn't yet begun their cultivation, Liu Yunan, feeling a bit anxious, didn't waste any words and led them down the mountain.
Moreover, this time they even used the sect's "Wind Riding Technique" to make the disciples feel like they were walking on air, and they all moved very fast.
The "Wind Riding Technique" was originally created to improve the pollination success rate of some plants in the spirit field that require pollination.
During the busy farming season, Liu Yunan was occasionally conscripted to help with the work in Lingtian.
So he also took the time to learn the "Wind Riding Technique".
He's using it now to help his new disciples get around, which is a good way of putting his knowledge to practical use.
