Blood Sacrifice To Millions Of Zombies, I Will Be A Demon Cultivator In The Apocalypse

Chapter 17: White Jade Token

More importantly, Zheng Yi gave too much, which was a considerable windfall for a steward at the seventh level of Qi Refining.

Even in a sect of cultivators, there are rules to be followed. Many are unspoken rules, and taking money without doing the job would be looked down upon.

Who would dare to ask for your help in the future?

He had already told Zheng Yi the specific way forward, and it was not in vain to show his respect. It all depended on how Zheng Yi chose.

Zheng Yi was originally a businessman in Lanxing. The other party's hint was so obvious that he knew exactly what the middle-aged external steward meant.

He cursed the vampire in his heart, but he still had to greet him with a smile and quietly took out a junior storage bag.

Zheng Yi quietly took two steps forward and handed the storage bag to the middle-aged external steward without a trace.

Fortunately, he was always cautious and had made a backup, otherwise he would have been in a panic again.

Seeing Zheng Yi's understanding of the rules, the steward used his divine sense to sense the weight of the items in the storage bag. The middle-aged external steward found Zheng Yi more pleasing and became even more amiable.

Nowadays, there are fewer and fewer younger disciples who understand the rules and manners in the sect.

Elder Gongsun was transferred and stationed at the front line.

Now the sect is particularly short-handed, so he was urgently transferred to take over Elder Gongsun's position.

It can be said that in Bloodmist Abyss City, his status is currently the highest, albeit temporary. However, he has a lot of control in this position.

After all, Zheng Yi has now reached the mid-stage of Qi Refining, which basically meets the requirements for the sect to recruit inner disciples.

There is no need to exclude such talent.

As for background and other matters, those are always considered by the righteous Dao Sect, and the demonic sects never care about such things.

Even if you are a spy from the righteous sect, once you enter the demonic sect, it's like entering a deep sea, and the righteous path becomes a stranger to you.

Regardless of whether you are righteous or not, after walking a few circles in the demonic sect, if you are tainted with the aura of blood and slaughter, it is impossible to turn back.

There have always been demon disciples who have been turned, or were originally spies cultivated by the righteous Dao Sect, but there have never been any good outcomes.

Once you join the demonic sect, it is impossible to turn back.

Even if you have made contributions and are filled with the aura of blood and slaughter, you cannot be accepted by the righteous Dao Sect when you return.

Over time, the righteous Dao Sect has given up on such thoughts.

More importantly, the Soul Devouring Sect is just a small sect in the Demon Realm.

The most powerful person in the sect is only the Grand Elder, with the strength of the Late Stage of Foundation Building, which is not something the righteous Dao Sect desires.

Therefore, after careful consideration, the middle-aged external steward decided to give Zheng Yi some guidance. Considering the spiritual stones in his hand, he had to give him this face.

Moreover, since others could follow Elder Gongsun's path, if he took the money and did not do the job, he might offend Elder Gongsun. In that case, why not go with the flow?

By following the rules, it is just and reasonable, and there is nothing to criticize.

Even if someone questions it later, he can use Elder Gongsun's name to deal with it.

"Alright, in that case, congratulations on officially joining the Soul Devouring Sect and being promoted to an inner disciple!"

"I hope you will focus on your cultivation and work together with the sect to contribute to its growth..."

The middle-aged steward stood up, smiling at Zheng Yi, and handed him a white jade token.

"This is the proof of the sect's promotion of inner disciples. Keep it safe."

"With this token, you can go directly to the sect's headquarters and report to the internal affairs hall directly."

"Before that, I will use the flying sword to inform the sect and arrange everything for you. You can report to the sect directly."

In fact, small sects like the Soul Devouring Sect are numerous in the Demon Realm. Even if they are not powerful, they still have their own advantages and occupy the lowest level of power.

Their selection of disciples is not so strict.

It's just that the selection of inner disciples involves the sect's heritage, so it is more stringent, but still within an acceptable range.

The Soul Devouring Sect allocates the quota for selecting inner disciples to each branch of the sect, effectively giving the control to the stewards in charge of the branches.

These branches are far from the sect's headquarters and mostly act as temporary offices. If there is no hint of bloodshed, how can the high-level officials be willing to go there to take charge in the future?

After all, the branches are temporary, and even the branch in Bloodmist Abyss City can be disbanded at any time as required.

The sect's mountain gate is the foundation of a sect, not only with a defensive array and the presence of top experts, but also representing the orderly position of the sect's heritage.

If the mountain gate is the center of a sect, hiding the core power and important heritage, then the branches in various places are the offices responsible for handling various matters for the sect, including selecting disciples, contacting various forces, and even engaging in business and handling various trivial matters.

The sect's headquarters is like the brain of a sect, directing all its actions, while the branches are the veins, continuously supplying various precious cultivation materials and talents to the sect, maintaining the operation of the entire huge power machine.

Correspondingly, these branches are scattered throughout the Demon Realm, stationed in the territories of other forces, and face many complicated and tedious issues. Therefore, the authority of the sect's stewards is much greater, and they can even have the final say.

Establishing relationships, using connections, selecting talents, and even obtaining unexpected wealth, the sect generally does not investigate.

"Thank you, sir steward. I am deeply grateful!"

"In the future, when I have achieved something, I will definitely repay your kindness."

Zheng Yi reached out to take the white jade token and was about to put it away, when he heard the steward's reminder.

"Inner disciples are different from outer disciples, both in status and in heritage. In a sense, only by becoming an inner disciple can you truly take the first step into the core of the sect."

"This inner disciple token represents your identity. It has been specially refined by the Refining Hall and requires your blood to recognize you as its master before it is bound to your identity."

"After you have done this, set off immediately and report to the sect. I will inform the internal affairs hall using the flying sword technique, and only then can the internal affairs hall confirm your identity."

In the Soul Devouring Sect, only disciples at the mid-stage of Qi Refining or above can become inner disciples.

Zheng Yi's cultivation was only at the fourth level of Qi Refining, barely meeting the standard.

As the steward said, to join the sect, one must first temper oneself among the outer disciples, make enough contributions, and then be selected by the internal affairs hall before having the opportunity for promotion.

But where there are people, there is a world of intrigue. The righteous Dao Sect is no exception to the art of deception and mutual use, let alone the rule of the jungle advocated by the demonic forces.
