Was It Still Pseudo?
It looks like it was hastily written with some charcoal ash from outside.
At this point, no one cared about the fact that this plain-looking, haphazardly placed board lacked any sect prestige. Those were all superficial; only the items listed on the board that could be exchanged were truly useful!
They were solely focused on getting a positive answer from Bai Zhu.
Bai Zhu smiled and nodded.
Part of the exchange list contains goods that were brought from the sect to the Immortal Cultivation Realm to sell here, while most of the rest are their own. This establishment of a pseudo-base has emptied the pockets of all eight of them.
However, no one seemed to care whether these expenses were worthwhile.
This was a major undertaking that the eight of them were secretly carrying out on their own! Building their own fake base! What were these little losses compared to that?
Nothing compares to the joy of building your own fake base!
Just imagine, if this pseudo-base is built, it might actually become the sect's future base in Yuanling City! Wouldn't they be the envy of their fellow disciples when they return to the sect?
Moreover, this fake base was originally intended for them to organize manpower for running their own shops. Once it succeeds, they will be the top contributors to the sect's opening up of the market in the Immortal Cultivation Realm!
Compared to the amount of supplies consumed, it's absolutely worth it.
Therefore, all eight of them were quite enthusiastic about deploying the puppet base, regardless of the material cost.
Oh, and some of these were generously sponsored by the Yuan Household.
As close allies, the Yuan Household saw this as their ally establishing a base on their doorstep, which they naturally supported and congratulated.
They also hoped that Lingxian Sect could gain a foothold in Yuanling City in the future, and that everyone could help and support each other, which would be the best long-term solution.
Therefore, they supplied a considerable amount of basic supplies to the eight-person team.
These are also the things that the eight-person team lacks. After all, no one would carry around a lot of basic supplies suitable for low-level cultivators. And the supplies they bought with the Spirit Stone they had on them were limited in quantity in order to pursue a complete range of categories.
However, the newly recruited people naturally wouldn't know all this. Bai Zhu, displaying the composure of the chief disciple of Azure Cloud Peak, introduced everyone one by one.
Zhang Xunye followed the group, looking around at this place and that place.
Aside from the exchange form in the Affairs Hall, these independent Rogue Cultivator automatically considered places like the Four Arts Hall to be of little concern to them.
After all, these Rogue Cultivator are doing only so-so outside are people without any foundation or skills to rely on. It's not that they are not good at learning, but mainly that they don't have the spare energy to do side jobs.
Starting a side hustle not only consumes materials, but also requires spending a lot of money to buy skill books if you want to actually learn something. If you don't have any talent in the four arts of cultivation, then the Spirit Stone you spend will be wasted.
After all, they can buy skill books from established shops, but if they want to resell them, no one will believe they are selling genuine ones. Even if they do find someone willing to buy their skill books, they will buy them at a huge discount, never at the original price.
Of the fifty people, more than half were like this.
Therefore, they didn't feel anything special about the Four Arts Hall; they just thought it was a normal facility of a sect, something to look at and forget.
Some people with skills, but not many, saw the Four Arts Hall just thinking that they would have a place to practice their skills in the future. They just didn't know what the sect's limit was on the amount of materials they could use for these new disciples.
However, no matter how much or even if there is no free consumables, it doesn't matter. They can definitely learn a lot of new formulas and techniques in the sect, which is better than going it alone.
However, when everyone arrived at the cultivation room, their emotions, which had gradually calmed down after leaving the Affairs Hall, suddenly became somewhat excited again.
Double the Spiritual Qi!
Although their Spiritual Qi may not be as abundant as that of many major sects, which are said to have increased several times over, they still can't go to those major sects!
This doubled Spiritual Qi is comparable to that of many expensive inns and rented low-level cave abode in Yuanling City.
But those all cost Spirit Stone, while this is from our own sect, it's free!
That's right, it's our own sect!
All fifty people have smoothly and proudly accepted this change of identity.
No matter how good things are outside, they belong to others and have nothing to do with you.
But this is his own sect, and every good thing about it is a benefit that he can personally enjoy!
They were then led to the classroom.
Bai Zhu told them, "Since you are new to the sect, this classroom will have two classes each morning and afternoon for the first month. After that, it will be changed to one class every three days."
He then pointed to a notice board next to the classroom door. "The specific schedule is written here. You can write it down later so you won't be late for class in the future."
The reason for this arrangement is that they also have their own summer camp tasks to complete, so we can only dedicate the first month to teaching them, and then everyone will take turns going to the secret realm.
There are still many hidden realms around Yuanling City waiting for them to explore and record.
However, there are no more secret realms for the Golden Core Realm recently, so the affairs of the pseudo-residential area are mainly handled by Yuan Jinsheng and Mo Yuanjiao. However, they also need to make many preparations for opening a shop later, so they cannot spend a lot of time teaching these pseudo-residential area disciples.
So how much they can learn depends on the fifty of them themselves.
In any case Mo Yuanjiao had already obtained authorization from Sect Master Lin Xiao through Senior Liao to use a portion of the sect's lower-grade Cultivation Method and the classics of the four arts of immortal cultivation at the pseudo-base.
"However, now that we've received authorization from the sect leader, is this fake base still considered fake?" In a small meeting room at the fake base, Xuanyuan Haoyue raised her question.
The eight of them had already finished their meeting here, and now the remaining seven were waiting for Bai Zhu to return after settling everyone in, and to check on any remaining issues.
"That's right. We've all received authorization from the sect leader, so how can we be considered fake? This should be considered the official base, right?" Gu Yuxiao replied.
"That won't do!" Before anyone else could speak, Mo Yuanjiao exclaimed, "We agreed from the beginning that this would be a fake base, so how can it not be? If it's going to be fake, it has to be fake to the end. Besides, although we have received authorization from our sect leader, this isn't our sect's official base. Those newly recruited people haven't officially joined the sect through the Heart-Questioning Road, so this base can only be fake. If it were real, what about those new recruits outside?"
