Chapter 205 Harvest

The Tianji Hall, which used to be deserted, suddenly became extremely lively. The casual cultivators lined up in three rows and registered with Hua Ci Yiyi and Kong Niu. The registration was for the casual cultivators' basic information, including name, origin, cultivation level, length of cultivation time, talent level, etc.

It doesn't mean that after registration, they will be admitted to the Bixue Sect. If so, it would be too simple. What they are doing now is just the most basic statistics. Who among these people can be admitted to the Bixue Sect in the end will have to be discussed by Lu Ye and Hua Ci. Find the tallest among the short ones.

At night, the casual cultivators in front of the Tianji Hall dispersed, and all the registrations had been completed.

In front of the Tianji Hall, Lu Ye sat on the steps, holding a booklet to check, and suddenly frowned: "Who registered this?"

The handwriting on it was extremely ugly, and there were many words that Lu Ye needed to carefully identify before he could understand.

"Me!" A muffled voice sounded, and Lu Ye looked up. It was Kong Niu. The two looked at each other, and this guy smiled at Lu Ye.

Lu Ye was speechless.

After collecting the booklet, Lu Ye said, "Everyone has worked hard. Hua Ci and Chen Yu will stay. The others can go."

After a busy day, Yi Yi, Ruan Lingyu and Kong Niu dispersed. The former two returned to the sect, while Kong Niu went to the practice room. This guy was very hardworking. Except for returning to the sect when eating, he basically stayed in the practice room at other times.

He used to follow Hua Ci in Yingshan, where there was no good practice environment. It was different when he came to the Bixue Sect. Not only was there no shortage of practice resources, but the spiritual energy of heaven and earth in the practice room was also extremely rich. This condition was not comparable to Yingshan.

Kong Niu cherished the present moment very much.

In front of the Tianji Hall, Lu Ye, Hua Ci and Chen Yu were selecting people who could be included in the sect. Chen Yu knew more about the scattered cultivators in the market. He dared not say that he knew their personalities and character very well, but at least he knew more than Lu Ye and Hua Ci. With his help in selection, the quality of the new disciples could undoubtedly be better ensured.

There are 432 independent cultivators in the market, and 432 people have registered in the three books. In other words, all independent cultivators have come to register. This enthusiasm exceeded Lu Ye's expectations. He thought it would be good if half of the independent cultivators came to register.

The three of them were busy until late at night, and they initially drafted a list of the first 100 people to be admitted to the sect. As for those who were not selected, if they were willing to attach themselves to the sect, they would attach themselves to the sect. If they were not willing, they would not be forced to do so. However, judging from the enthusiasm of the independent cultivators today, they would definitely not refuse if they were asked to attach themselves to the sect.

In the Lingxi battlefield, many independent cultivators would choose to attach themselves to a sect. In this way, they could use the infrastructure of those sects, such as practicing in the training room, building their own residence in the station, and enjoying the blessing of the sect's Tianji Pillar on the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. However, correspondingly, when the sect encountered problems, these independent cultivators also needed to contribute and obey the orders.

For example, if the sect's station was declared at war, those independent cultivators who attached themselves to the sect would have to participate in the war when they received the call. If they refused, they would be dismissed.

It can be said that the personnel of each sect station in the Lingxi battlefield include three types, one is the disciples of the sect, the other is the cultivators who come to practice from the allied sect, and the last one is the independent cultivators who come here to rely on.

The biggest difference between the former and the latter two is that they have monthly salaries issued by the sect, so there will be more resources for cultivation.

However, there is no need to worry if you are not selected in the first batch. Since the Bixue Sect has opened its doors and recruited disciples, it will definitely continue to recruit them in the future. As long as you perform well, you will have a chance.

Chen Yu posted the list of the 100 people on the notice wall of the market overnight. Those whose names are on the list are naturally happy, and those whose names are not on the list are certainly disappointed. It may be a good choice to rely on the Bixue Sect. Moreover, Chen Yu also deliberately revealed the news that the Bixue Sect will continue to recruit disciples in the future, so that the independent cultivators can wait with peace of mind.

Lu Ye returned to the sect and informed Sister Shui Yuan of the progress of recruiting new members. At the same time, he also received some spiritual stones and elixirs allocated by Sister Shui Yuan.

The next day, in the Tianji Hall of the Bixue Sect, Lu Ye and Hua Ci stood in front, and below them were a hundred cultivators lined up in a queue, with Chen Yu at the first one.

A hundred pairs of eyes looked at them with burning eyes, and Lu Ye said loudly: "From today on, you are all registered disciples of the Bixue Sect, and you are no longer helpless and independent cultivators. I hope you can advance and retreat with the sect, and share honor and disgrace. Today, we are proud of our master, and one day, our master will be proud of us. I am waiting for that day, and the master is waiting for that day. I also believe that as long as everyone can work together, that day will definitely come!"

"Yes!" The crowd below shouted in unison.

Lu Ye nodded with satisfaction: "Those whose names are called, come forward!"

Hua Ci took out the name, and a pleasant voice rang out: "Chen Yu!"

"Disciple is here!" Chen Yu immediately stepped forward.

Lu Ye took out a big seal, which was his seal for the garrison commander, and asked for the heavenly secret to stamp it on the back of his hand. He then took out a few spiritual stones and a few spiritual pills from the side and handed them to him. This was the monthly salary for the registered disciples. Shui Yuan had allocated it last night. It was not much, not even enough for him to practice for half a month, but it was a benefit that every sect had. He tried his best to say, "Practice well."

"Yes." Chen Yu took it solemnly.

"Zhang Hai."

"Disciple is here!"

"Liu Wu."

...

Reading out the names one by one, Lu Ye stamped his seal for the garrison commander on the back of each person's hand, distributed the monthly salary, and everyone was beaming with joy.

Looking at the hundreds of people gathered in the hall, Lu Ye was in a state of confusion. The general framework of the garrison was set up, but there was still a long way to go to truly develop it. The strength of these scattered cultivators was not very high. There were only a few people in the sixth level realm below Chen Yu, and the number of people in the fifth level realm was not large. Moreover, the talents of the scattered cultivators were not very high, and the efficiency of their practice was worrying.

However, if the talent was not enough, the spiritual energy would make up for it. He was still arranging the gathering spirit patterns in the training room. As long as the concentration of spiritual energy in the garrison was increased, the efficiency of the disciples' early practice would not necessarily be worse than others.

The collection of the one hundred disciples was completed quickly. After they left, the hundreds of scattered cultivators who had been waiting outside rushed into the hall.

These scattered cultivators were all dependent on the garrison of the Bixue Sect. Compared with the one hundred disciples, they had no monthly salary and their treatment was a little worse. For example, the training room was given priority to the disciples of the sect.

After leaving the scattered cultivators to Hua Ci, Lu Ye left the hall and went to the training room to arrange the gathering spirit patterns.

It was not until the evening that Hua Ci sent a message that the scattered cultivators had already dealt with it.

Lu Ye hurried back to the Tianji Hall, where Hua Ci was waiting.

"Let's get started."

What he had to do now was to increase the concentration of the spiritual energy in the garrison, which was also the biggest gain for him and Hua Ci in participating in the Lingxi Town Defense War.

The reason why he did not improve it when he came back was mainly because he considered that if the cultivation environment here became better, it would affect the choices of those scattered cultivators.

Facts have proved that he was overthinking. The scattered cultivators in the entire market have now either become registered disciples of the Bixue Sect or choose to rely on the Bixue Sect, without exception.

And once the news here spreads, there will definitely be more scattered cultivators rushing over.

The basic spiritual energy in any sect's garrison is 10% higher than that in the wild. If you want to increase the concentration of spiritual energy, you have to buy the Tianji Pillar for blessing.

Before the Lingxi Town Defense War, Lu Ye spent 500 merits to buy a blessing, and used it as a bargaining chip to participate in the Lingxi Town Defense War. Now the spiritual energy in the garrison of this sect is 20% richer than that in the wild.

He tried to buy another one, but there was no merit, but the feedback was that it would take a thousand merit points.

Lu Ye felt that the richer the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, the more merit points would be spent on buying the blessing, and the fourth senior brother also said so.

Checking his own mark, he and Hua Ci had won a total of eighty-eight blessings in the Lingxi defense battle. Each of these blessings was the most basic blessing, worth five hundred merit points.

These blessings can be exchanged for merits, but because they themselves belong to the property of the sect, they can only be exchanged for sect merits, not directly for personal merits.

There can be a certain way of conversion between the two. For example, Lu Ye can donate his personal merits and convert them into the sect merits of the Bixue Sect and deposit them in the Tianji Pillar.

The reason why the major sects have so many merits to buy the blessing of the Tianji Pillar is because of the donations accumulated by a group of disciples. Things in the garrison cannot be solved by one person, and it requires the concerted efforts of many disciples.

For example, as a garrison commander, Lu Ye can obtain a portion of the sect's merits from the Tianji Pillar every month as his monthly salary. Hua Ci is the deputy garrison commander and has such rights.

In the future, if any disciple performs well and makes great contributions to the sect, in addition to rewarding spiritual stones and elixirs, he can even directly reward a certain amount of merits, which all come from the Tianji Pillar.

These things are the most basic common sense, which are recorded in the jade slip that Li Baxian gave to Lu Ye before.

In the Tianji Hall, Lu Ye raised his hand and pressed on the Tianji Pillar. With a slight movement of his mind, he directly exchanged all 88 blessings for sect merits, and the Tianji Pillar immediately had 44,000 more sect merits.

He did not use these merits to buy blessings immediately, but used his authority as a garrison commander to distribute this month's merit monthly salary to himself and Hua Ci.

Hua Ci noticed something and lowered her head to check her battlefield mark. She was shocked: "Why so many?"

Her personal merit increased by 4,400 points at once, which is 10% of the total merit.

The same is true for Lu Ye.

"You didn't kill many people in the chess sea. Everyone is short of merit. Take it first. Maybe you will need it someday."

"This is too much. I don't need so much."

"I will use it."

If the proportion of monthly salary cannot exceed 10%, Lu Ye would like to give more.

These merits are all earned by him and Hua Ci in the chess sea. It doesn't matter even if they are divided equally. However, considering that the concentration of spiritual energy in the sect's residence needs to be increased, and at this stage, a few thousand points of merit is indeed a large number, which is enough for the time being.
