Chapter 265

"Sect Master, regarding the Mountain-Opening Ceremony in twenty days, this disciple has a few suggestions."

Jiang Yan looked at Ningguang with interest and asked curiously:

"Let's hear them."

The latter nodded.

"As the Sect Master intended, the Mountain-Opening Ceremony will recruit one thousand people, and these thousand people will all be Inner and Outer Sect disciples."

"This move will indeed make Shushan flourish, but after careful consideration, this disciple feels that something is missing."

"Outer Sect disciples and Inner Sect disciples focus on cultivation, but with a thousand people entering Shushan, the various chores of Shushan will inevitably increase."

"These chores cannot all be left to the Outer Sect disciples."

"Why not recruit some people specifically to handle chores and take care of the daily trivial matters for Shushan?"

Ningguang's words made Jiang Yan pause for a moment, and then he looked at Ningguang with admiration.

"What you said is very true; I had forgotten about this."

"The Sect Master is busy with ten thousand things; naturally, there is no extra time to think about such small matters."

Ningguang smiled and flattered Jiang Yan, then added:

"Sect Master, do cultivation sects recruit such servants specifically to handle chores?"

Jiang Yan shook his head and said softly:

"Cultivation sects prioritize cultivating immortality; furthermore, cultivation sects are filled with traces of cultivators everywhere, and ordinary people cannot come into contact with these things at all."

"Recruiting ordinary servants is naturally not done."

"But there is a type of chore disciple in cultivation sects specifically for handling chores."

"These disciples have less talent than Outer Sect disciples, but they can still cultivate immortality."

"Thus, they are recruited into the sect and are specifically responsible for the chores in the sect."

"However, even as chore disciples, they are still members of the sect; if they pass the assessment or reach the required strength, they can still become official Outer Sect disciples."

"In the past, there were indeed many powerhouses who were promoted all the way from chore disciples."

Ningguang's eyes lit up, and she said softly:

"I wonder if the Sect Master has the intention to recruit chore disciples?"

As she spoke, Ningguang gave a wry smile and said:

"I dare not hide it from the Sect Master; now that Liyue's preliminary screening is over, there are already more than 200, 00 people signed up to participate in the Mountain-Opening Ceremony assessment."

"And more people are rushing to Liyue; by the deadline, I fear there will be nearly one million people participating in the Mountain-Opening Ceremony."

"Selecting only one thousand Outer Sect disciples and then choosing some martial artists to stay in Shushan is truly a bit cruel."

"Cultivators have long lifespans; after this Mountain-Opening Ceremony, who knows how long it will be until the next one."

"Perhaps those mortals cannot withstand the erosion of time, which would be a waste of talent."

"It would be better to select some chore disciples to enter the sect to handle trivial matters, which can also be considered as accumulating resources for the future expansion of disciples."

After thinking about it, Jiang Yan nodded slightly.

"What you said makes sense. Since that is the case, select three thousand people ranked after the first thousand to form chore disciples."

"For the rest, pick some talented people to practice martial Dao for the time being and let them stay in Shushan."

Ningguang breathed a sigh of relief and said gratefully:

"Many thanks, Sect Master."

Jiang Yan teased:

"You must have also considered that with so many people unable to join Shushan, Liyue might not be able to host them."

Ningguang nodded somewhat awkwardly.

"Sure enough, I cannot hide it from the Sect Master. Although Liyue has the confidence to suppress turmoil, they are all people of upright character who passed the preliminary screening."

"Liyue cannot use any hard-handed methods."

Jiang Yan nodded slightly.

"No matter, chore disciples are an important part of the sect and an important source for screening qualified disciples."

"However, they are chore disciples after all; if they cannot be promoted to the ranks of Outer Sect disciples, they can only enter the Scripture Pavilion once in their lifetime."

"As for other management plans, since you proposed it, you should solve it together."

Ningguang nodded and smiled:

"It should be so; I will think of a way to settle the chore disciples within three days."

Jiang Yan pursed his lips and smiled, saying nothing more.

Ningguang also sensibly got up and took her leave.

Jiang Yan closed his eyes, and his divine sense spread out.

Today's peaceful cultivation in Shushan had also been broken somewhat.

Yae Miko of the Heavenly Charm Body came to pay a visit, and Qingluan broke through to Refining Qi into Spirit.

These could be considered two good things.

Speaking of which, Yae Miko's true form was a pink-haired fox, and she also had nine tails.

Looking at it this way, Yae Miko and Su Daji were truly fated.

It was just that he didn't know if Yae Miko could reach the level of Su Daji in the future.

As for Yae Miko following Su Daji's old path, Jiang Yan felt it was not necessarily so.

Although Yae Miko looked full of fox-like charm, this guy was a genuine loudmouth.

Her attributes clashed quite heavily with Lisa's.

Yae Miko's direction was on the path of a prankster, not toward Su Daji.

On this point, Jiang Yan still had confidence.

Jiang Yan pondered in his heart, and his divine sense spread to the Teyvat continent.

In an instant, he swept across the entire Teyvat.

The entire Teyvat was in turmoil because of the matter of cultivating immortality; Jiang Yan did not care about this.

Shushan should have been the center of all eyes in the world.

However...

Jiang Yan slowly opened his eyes, and his expression became somewhat strange.

"Qiqi... has she already started corpse-driving?"

"Calculated this way, can Hu Tao be considered to have had her job stolen by someone from another profession?"

165. Chongyun: What is wrong with this world, even Qiqi can drive corpses?

In the jungle not far outside Jueyun Karst.

Bursts of crisp bell sounds rang out continuously, and there were uniform footsteps in the jungle.

From time to time, there were also slogans from a "three-no" loli.

In the environment of the sun setting and the moon rising, it actually felt somewhat eerie.

Ever since Shushan appeared, even though the General Affairs Office had repeatedly ordered that no one was allowed to come to Jueyun Karst casually.

Informing them of the dangers of Jueyun Karst and informing them that Jueyun Karst was guarded by the Millelith and climbing was not allowed.

But it still couldn't stop countless people from going there to take risks.

Especially the Treasure Hoarders.

They couldn't pass the preliminary screening in Liyue, but they didn't want to give up the temptation of cultivating immortality.

They could only take the risk to come to Jueyun Karst to try.

Rumor has it that Baizhu of Bubu Pharmacy kowtowed three times and nine times, and his pious heart moved the immortals, so he was exceptionally recruited into Shushan to cultivate immortality.

If Baizhu, a sickly physician, could do it, the Treasure Hoarders were also thinking, why couldn't they?

Simply put, they came to take the risk.

It was just that these people seemed to have forgotten that no matter how sickly Baizhu was,

he was still a Vision holder, and his desire for longevity was extremely firm.

Plus, he was always traveling around Liyue to treat illnesses.

Although Baizhu had some selfishness, he was generally of upright character.

The Treasure Hoarders...
