Chapter 338

~7 min read 1,210 words

Although the Shushan Seven Pulses only have the most rules at Dragon Head Peak, it doesn't mean the other pulses have no rules.

To avoid violating the precepts in the future, they still have to explain things properly to these junior brothers and sisters.

As for the outer sect disciples…

That is not something they need to worry about.

Standing at the entrance of the Scripture Library, looking at this towering building, and feeling the thick and majestic aura emanating from it.

Even someone as naturally lively as Hu Tao became solemn.

The Scripture Library…

This is the most important place in the entire Shushan, basically aside from the Sect Hall.

Even from the perspective of inheritance, the Sect Hall cannot compare to the Scripture Library.

This is the foundation of Shushan.

"Hmm… I'm a bit nervous."

Hu Tao quietly clenched her fists, feeling her heart beating rapidly.

Specializing in the immortal path is one thing; that is the foundation of longevity.

But possessing techniques…

This is the foundation for possessing the status and power befitting an immortal cultivator, and being able to perfectly unleash the absolute dominance of an immortal cultivator.

"Corpse-Herding Technique! Corpse-Herding Technique! Sect Master, please bless me; this Hall Master doesn't want anything else, just the Corpse-Herding Technique!"

Hu Tao prayed with a pious expression, while Furina, standing to the side, looked at Hu Tao in confusion and asked curiously:

"There are clearly so many cultivation techniques to learn, why do you insist on learning the Corpse-Herding Technique?"

Hu Tao gave Furina a profound look.

"You don't understand! This concerns the backup plan if the business negotiations between the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor and Qiqi don't go well!"

"…"

Furina was somewhat silent.

At this moment, she suddenly realized that she might be a bit outdated.

At the very least, she couldn't understand why, when immortal cultivation has so many beautiful futures, Hu Tao is always thinking about whether the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor's business can expand.

Hmm…

I don't really understand those who work in the funeral industry.

Smiling reluctantly, Furina said softly:

"Actually, there's no need to be in such a hurry, right? Anyway, we can come in once a week."

"That's true, too."

Hu Tao was stunned for a moment, then immediately clasped her hands together piously again.

"Sect Master, please bless me; let me get a technique to control zombies!"

For some reason, Qiqi felt a chill rising on her body again.

Not far away, the outer sect disciples looked at Furina and the others chatting and laughing, and couldn't help but feel a bit envious.

Clearly, the inner and outer sects are only a step apart, but now it seems as if the two sides are separated by a chasm.

As fellow Shushan immortal cultivators, in the eyes of outsiders, in the eyes of chore disciples and those who stayed behind to learn martial arts, and even those who regretfully failed the selection…

The outer sect disciples are already extremely enviable.

They can be said to be true Shushan people, unlike the chore disciples, who are not highly valued by Shushan.

Outer sect disciples are already protected by Shushan…

Even with the status of an outer sect disciple, they have Shushan as their backing.

But they also know that only true inner sect disciples can be valued by Shushan.

The gap between people and the envy between people will never stop.

Chore disciples envy the outer sect, outer sect disciples envy the inner sect, and inner sect disciples envy the true transmission…

An immortal cultivation sect is a huge besieged city, and it has been so since ancient times.

However, they won't be too inferior either.

After all, they are all legitimate Shushan disciples who passed the assessment.

What's more, the outer sect elders also said that if their strength breaks through later and they pass the third level of the Heart-Questioning Array, they can still be promoted to the inner sect.

There is always some hope.

Just like what is said in the immortal cultivation novel circulating in Liyue.

The geniuses that the protagonist casually slaps away are all geniuses of one side.

It looks a bit embarrassing, but…

Even so, they are still geniuses.

The outer sect disciples have this kind of thinking.

Even if they are mediocre in Shushan and have nothing special.

But placed in Teyvat, they are also top-notch peerless geniuses.

However, the only thing that makes the outer sect disciples a bit regretful…

The techniques in the Scripture Library are different for them compared to inner sect disciples.

They can choose one book a week.

They have to wait half a year.

During this period, if they want to enter the Scripture Library to choose cultivation techniques, they can only spend contribution points.

Moreover, according to the outer sect elders, this is out of consideration that Shushan has just been established and still needs rapid development.

After things calm down later, and Shushan's development officially enters a stable and balanced path.

The time to enter the Scripture Library will continue to be extended.

But even so, the outer sect disciples feel there is hope, and it is still worth rejoicing.

After all, if chore disciples don't have any breakthroughs, they can only enter the Scripture Library once in their lifetime.

Comparing downwards, they can still make themselves feel a bit more comfortable.

Everyone was thinking with different thoughts, and after waiting for a while, Furina and the others were ready.

Everyone stopped waiting and stepped into the Scripture Library together.

The massive pavilion was like a man-eating monster; over a thousand people were swallowed into it, yet there was no sign of any turmoil.

The vermilion gate was like a bottomless pit.

Until the last person entered, the exterior of the Scripture Library also quieted down slightly.

After a while, Shenzi suddenly chuckled, breaking the calm, and looked at Miss Ganyu with great interest.

"Sister Ganyu, guess, will there be a few more special cultivators this time?"

"Special? How special?"

Miss Ganyu was a bit puzzled; Shenzi glanced at Diluc and then at Lisa.

Immediately, Miss Ganyu also understood what Shenzi meant.

She couldn't help but feel a bit awkward.

"Should… not, right?"

"Looking at everyone's appearance, it doesn't seem like they are inclined toward this aspect…"

Shenzi shook her head meaningfully.

"That might not be the case, yo. After all, Mr. Diluc didn't look like someone who would practice Buddhism at first either."

Upon hearing this, Diluc, standing to the side, coughed dryly and turned his gaze to the other side.

Practicing Buddhism…

It's all a matter of fate!

Besides, there is no conflict between Buddhism and Taoism in the world, and practicing Buddhism is not against the law!

"I hope everyone this time can follow the steps; otherwise, it will be troublesome for the Sect Master again."

Miss Ganyu sighed, looking at the Scripture Library with some helplessness.

It was the first time she realized that having too many sect cultivation techniques might not be entirely a good thing.

In the Sect Hall.

Jiang Yan watched as everyone stepped into the Scripture Library, then took a step out and entered the world of the Sect Treasury.

To utilize the Sect Treasury, at the very least…
