Longevity Fairy: Sister, Please Wait A Little Longer

Chapter 33: 033 - The More Deceptive Little Aunt

The main peak of the outer sect doesn't have a name, but on Azure Cloud Mountain, its height is second only to the peak where the sect master resides.

From this, it can be seen that the sect attaches great importance to the outer sect.

However, at some point, the disciples of Azure Cloud Sect began to be divided from the moment they entered the sect.

Those without Spirit Veins, the elderly, weak, sick, and disabled, are not accepted. Those with mixed Spirit Veins or fake Spirit Veins become menial disciples, while those with better aptitude become outer sect disciples. The best among them can directly enter the inner sect.

For example, Chu Bai, if his Spirit Vein is intact, it would be an Innate Fire Spirit Vein. Foundation Building would be almost certain, Gold Core would not be easy but not difficult either, and Nascent Soul would be the difficult threshold to cross.

Children like him don't need to go through the motions of the outer sect; the more in the inner sect, the better.

As for Xiao Qingrou, the reason she couldn't directly join the inner sect was twofold. First, she entered the sect at a slightly older age, and second, Xiao Qingrou's water Spirit Vein was not so pure, making it difficult to see her future.

Fortunately, Xiao Qingrou joined the outer sect. Otherwise, the once grand outer sect would continue to decline, without even a chance for a comeback.

"Plunk!"

Elder Zhao Wei, from the Little Green Peak, knelt straight at the steps of the main hall's entrance.

After a few days, Elder Zhao looked even more haggard. Being scolded and plotted against by others every day would make anyone look haggard.

"Disciple Zhao Wei requests an audience with the Grand Elder!"

The outer sect is the Grand Elder's jurisdiction, so when there are problems among the elders, it is natural to seek the Grand Elder's judgment on right and wrong.

"Not seeing you, go do what you should do!"

This authoritative voice came from inside the main hall.

However, Zhao Wei didn't leave; he continued to kneel in place and said in a pitiful tone, "Grand Elder, Auntie, as an elder of the outer sect, it is only right for me to do anything for the outer sect. But Huaman Tian and the others have gone too far. Auntie, please make a decision for me!"

After saying this, Zhao Wei knocked on the main hall's door with a loud "thud," making a clear sound.

Auntie?

Nangong Li is of the same generation as his grandfather, so calling her Auntie is not a problem.

Regarding the outer sect, the Little Green Peak, regardless of the cause, Zhao Wei is indeed the biggest beneficiary. He chose to endure some rumors and gossip.

It's just people cursing at him; let them curse. How many days can they curse? Justice lies in the heart of the Grand Elder.

But he didn't expect that group of old bastards to become even more shameless. First, they secretly stabbed paper dolls and threw them into his Cave Mansion, then words like "vile and shameless" appeared on the door of his Cave Mansion.

In the past few days, Zhao Wei has received continuous reports that many outer sect disciples of the Little Green Peak have shown signs of defecting to other peaks.

The "entry-level cultivation technique" originated from the Little Green Peak, and scenes of all cultivators practicing it would naturally appear first on the Little Green Peak.

All menial disciples become cultivators.

So, they are menial now, but in the future, a considerable number of them will be promoted to outer sect disciples.

With more outer sect disciples from the Little Green Peak, their influence naturally becomes stronger.

And that group of old bastards, using threats and enticements, directly targeted the existing outer sect disciples of the Little Green Peak. This is truly despicable and shameless!

"Young man, you're not young anymore. Come to my Hundred Flowers Peak. There are plenty of fellow cultivators there."

"Young man, I see great potential in you in the Alchemy Dao. My Wuyou Peak is the only place in the outer sect where alchemists can be cultivated. Come to my Wuyou Peak, and I will personally teach you, guided by a Foundation Building peak alchemist."

"Young man, on the path of cultivation, a suitable Law Weapon is essential. Do you want a handy Law Weapon?"

"Daring little thief, how dare you collide with an elder! I'll give you two choices: either join Iron Mountain Peak or I'll personally send you to the Hall of Law Enforcement!"

"Listen, listen, how shameless! Zhao Weiyi has never seen an elder who goes around looking for trouble with junior disciples!"

Just then, the main hall's doors slowly opened, and the Grand Elder Nangong Li walked out.

"Madam."

Zhao Weiyi kowtowed again, making a crisp sound.

Nangong Li came to his side and coldly snorted, "Look at your lack of resilience. You can't handle even this much? Who was it that said they had the slightest bit of selfishness in this hall and then smashed their head to death?"

Someone questioned the mining area under Zhao Weiyi's jurisdiction, but Elder Zhao remained composed and didn't favor anyone.

"But what about them?"

"They attacked you, and did I stop you from fighting back? I've never asked for harmony among the outer disciples. As long as it can make the outer sect better, even if you ask me to step down and retire to the inner sect, I won't bat an eye. Zhao Weiyi, do you understand now what I want to do?"

"Um, this disciple is dull, but among the outer disciples, the number of miscellaneous disciples is several times that of the outer disciples. With such a huge number of miscellaneous disciples, it's inevitable that there will be some outstanding ones. I've already looked at the account books of the Xishan mining area last month. Grand Elder, you only made a move against a small No. 17 mine!"

"Stop, get to the point!"

Nangong Li mercilessly interrupted his flattery.

Zhao Weiyi pondered for a moment and continued, "Perhaps it's through improving the cultivation of the miscellaneous disciples to enhance the strength of our outer sect."

"What else?"

"Forgive this disciple's dullness."

Upon hearing this, Nangong Li snorted again, casually saying, "The chance of cultivators giving birth to children with Spirit Veins is rare, just like in any sect. Otherwise, Azure Cloud Sect wouldn't have the concepts of true transmission, inner sect, outer sect, and miscellaneous disciples. But have you ever considered the probability of cultivators and cultivators giving birth to children with Spirit Veins, or mortals and mortals?"

Like begets like, the child of a mouse will dig holes. The concept of bloodlines is the same.

The probability of two cultivators' children having Spirit Veins is naturally much higher than that of mortal children.

However,

Nangong Li said, "Your grandfather should be about the same age as me, over three thousand years. Your lineage has only been passed down for two generations. This is the drawback of cultivators reproducing."

Understanding the Great Dao of the world is quite interesting, much more interesting than having children. If it weren't for reaching a bottleneck and completely resigning oneself, how many cultivators would be willing to settle down and cultivate the next generation?

With the next generation, their aptitude is not particularly poor, so the parents have to share a portion of their resources with their children.

Therefore, the more talented and powerful the cultivator, the slower their reproduction speed.

Zhao Weiyi, kneeling on the ground, brightened his eyes. He felt that he had vaguely grasped something.

In terms of talent and cultivation, the contributions that can be made to the sect naturally rank from high to low. But when it comes to reproduction speed, it's definitely the opposite.

"Let the miscellaneous disciples marry and have children as soon as possible. Their children can join Azure Cloud Sect in ten years. The loyalty of disciples' children to the sect is unquestionable. After a series of measures, their children should be able to directly join the outer sect or even the inner sect."

The more Elder Zhao pondered, the brighter his eyes became. "With a hundred thousand miscellaneous disciples, in ten years, there will be fifty thousand children. Among those fifty thousand, ten thousand will become outer disciples, and one thousand will become inner disciples."

Oh my heavens, with so many of our own children, does the sect still need to worry about not being able to recruit outstanding disciples?
