Chapter 691: Yaowang Sect

Yaowang Sect.

According to the wishes of the newly arrived "Fang Laozu," Qingding Mountain was renamed "Yaowang Mountain," and the sect established here is naturally called the Yaowang Sect!

Although in Aaron's view, the Yaowang Sect, with its primary purpose of growing spirit medicines, always carried a sense that it would be finished in a couple of days.

It was actually quite interesting.

Back Peak, Spirit Medicine Garden.

Aaron stood with his hands behind his back, tending to the Five-eyed Begonia he had just transplanted.

The girl he called Little Sister Wenying had dry, withered hair and a sallow, gaunt face; she was dressed like a mountain villager, and the hemp-rope shoes on her feet were worn through, revealing her blood-stained legs...

She was considered to be of Loose Cultivator origin, and along with the Fourth Junior Brother Lin Ye, who was also a Loose Cultivator, she hated the ways of the cultivation families the most; furthermore, due to her special status, she was vaguely the leader of the Master-Disciple faction!

Time passed, he didn't know how long, and she looked toward the direction of the sect, a sneer appearing on her face.

This standard was much lower than that of the Great Gan, but there was no helping it.

"This is... a Golden Core Cultivator?"

"When the time comes, I'll take on another Disciple... I wonder if gathering five fated people will allow me to summon a divine dragon?"

A trend of competition had already formed among the Disciples.

Talking about brainwashing or loyalty to Immortal Cultivators is all fake, especially for a sect like the Yaowang Sect that has no history and started from scratch.

"Greetings, Master!"

At this moment, several streaks of light were seen flying out from the mountain peak, arriving at the foot of the mountain to reveal several Foundation Establishment Dashiu standing on Magic Tools.

This day was once again the day for the Yaowang Sect's decennial opening of the mountain gates to select Disciples.

He was quite attentive to the details of every persona.

"The Yaowang Sect has opened its mountain gates!"

This time, however, it was a group of mortals resembling mountain hunters.

The Loose Cultivators at the foot of the mountain looked at one another... and suddenly swarmed forward, entering the mountain path.

He muttered a complaint, sat on the Sect Master's throne, and accepted the worship of the many cultivators below.

"Even so... we must give those young people more opportunities." Li Jianjie's gaze flickered: "I have yet to congratulate Senior Sister on breaking through to the Foundation Establishment Late Stage, you can now prepare for the Golden Core..."

"Hmph!"

Wenying looked at the mountain peak shrouded in white mist and silently clenched her fists: "There is a rumor among my ancestors... that someone in my family once joined an immortal sect, and I also want to become an immortal so that I won't starve to death..."

A young cultivator who was likely only at the second or third layer of Qi Refining looked at the mist on Medicine King Peak and vowed with longing: "I must become a Yaowang Sect Disciple!"

After all, Yaowang Mountain was located deep in the mountains, and it was naturally extremely difficult for ordinary people to come here.

This time, having heard that the previous times the gates were opened it had ended in a mess, he had personally volunteered to come and oversee it.

"Calculating it... although the former owner was very miserable, there were still some mortals living near Qingding Mountain... and I, Fang Laozu, am a different matter from the Li Family... perhaps in the future, people from the former owner's family will join my Yaowang Sect to seek immortality!"

Not far away, several cultivators from cultivation families formed a small circle, and one plump youth sneered.

A stir went through the Disciples below.

"Greetings, Senior!"

"We've arrived... this is the place on the map where the immortal master takes on disciples, Little Sister Wenying, we've finally arrived!"

Bai Caiwei manipulated the Illusion Array, testing the mountain climbers in waves.

"The Yaowang Sect is famous in the Far West for its spirit medicine cultivation and alchemy... It is said that within the sect, one can not only exchange contributions for spirit pills that increase Dharma Power and break through bottlenecks, but even Foundation Establishment Pills can be exchanged..."

The simple-minded youth was so frightened that he kowtowed repeatedly: "Immortal above... spare me, spare me..."

"Serving the Master is the Disciple's honor!" Li Jianjie replied respectfully, a flash of joy in his eyes.

Accompanied by the long tolling of a bell, the mist shrouding the mountain peak dispersed, revealing a path paved with bluestone slabs.

"Xiaoqing... you are already a mature working turtle, remember to water the spirit medicines on time from now on..."

Aaron instructed the massive Longevity Turtle behind him: "Otherwise... your Spirit Pills will be gone!"

Both of these two were newly promoted Foundation Establishment cultivators, under fifty years of age, and both possessed Dual Spirit Roots; their aptitude was quite good.

He scanned the Disciple roster and suddenly asked: "Is Lin Ye here?"

"What?"

Just at this moment, a female voice came from outside:

"The Yaowang Sect's founding ceremony... the Valley Master of Wanhu Valley has come specially to offer congratulations, wishing your sect longevity for ten thousand years and prestige that shakes all directions!"

Aaron glanced over and could not help but be very satisfied.

After sending the Transmission Talisman, three streaks of light sped over.

Bai Caiwei, on the other hand, had Water and Earth Dual Spirit Roots, and her aptitude was quite compatible with Aaron's inheritance.

Besides them, there were two other cultivators from the Shen and Li families, Li Jianjie and Shen Le.

And now?

Doing it all over again, generally speaking, was enough.

Looking at the excited cultivators below, Aaron smiled inwardly.

"Hmm, you have put in the effort."

The reason he took a liking to this cultivator named "Lin Ye" was actually only one—he was a descendant of the Lin Family from back then.

The leader among them was dressed in white, and as her gaze swept over, the plump youth felt a chill all over; he hurriedly put away his Magic Tool and bowed respectfully to the ground: "Greetings, Senior!"

Bai Caiwei bowed in return.

The Shen Family youth beside him also had a mournful face and replied in a low voice: "I'm afraid the screening will be strict this time... fortunately, we should count as meeting the requirements, right?"

Two rays of light arrived side by side, revealing the figures of Li Jianjie and Shen Le.

With Aaron sitting in command to oversee things, the future was absolutely promising!

"Although... my original purpose was just to find a place with a Spirit Vein to grow medicine..."

Bai Caiwei looked at Lin Ye, and she could not help but feel moved in her heart; the encounters of life are indeed very different.

"Human hearts can be utilized!"

"Besides this... my alchemy has also had a breakthrough. Combined with the accumulation of the original Spirit Medicine Garden of the Qingding Sect, I have already refined a batch of Foundation Establishment Pills... Rewards will be issued later in the form of sect contributions; you all still need to work hard..."

Aaron laughed heartily, while the cultivators all around cast envious and jealous gazes.

Unfortunately, one's Spirit Root attribute is biased toward fire, and the other's toward wood; neither may be suitable for Aaron's True Disciple 【technique】—the Mingyu Art.

After laying down a large number of Forbidden Techniques and Array Formations around the Spirit Medicine Garden, Aaron then left leisurely and came to the front mountain.

"A sect of immortals..."

In the circle of cultivation families, that youth from the Li Family was startled: "Why are Ancestor Jianjie and Ancestor Le not presiding?"

Lin Ye glanced at Bai Caiwei and knelt down without much hesitation.

According to the order of entry, these two could only hold back their frustration and pay their respects first.

At this moment, there was a commotion in the crowd; it turned out that more newcomers had joined.

"This recruitment of disciples prioritizes character. You may go up the mountain path and enter the Array to undergo testing... The end of this road is the mountain gate of my Yaowang Sect. Those who pass will then have their aptitude and Bone Age tested... Those who meet the standard will be admitted into the sect; those who do not will be expelled, and no mercy will be shown!"

Golden Core powers like Wanhua Valley also recognized the Yaowang Sect's jurisdiction over the Lin Kingdom.

A simple and honest youth who looked like a hunter wiped his sweat and opened his mouth in surprise: "There are so many people?"

Accompanied by Li Qingjing's final great purge and death... Aaron was able to abandon the burden of the Li Family and set off lightly.

"All Senior Brothers and Senior Sisters are here... This junior pays his respects."

Clang!

Clang-clang!

He had already become very familiar with this set of rules in the Far West.

However, Aaron did not care about the disciples' internal competition, or rather... only with competition is there motivation!

For example, Fang Laozu of the Yaowang Sect is extremely skilled in alchemy and possesses a Third-tier alchemy technique!

Hearing that it concerned a Spirit Pill, the Wanshou Turtle's eyes widened at once, and it almost patted its chest to guarantee it.

With an extremely young Golden Core Cultivator presiding, the Yaowang Sect's founding ceremony passed safely and lively after all.

Unknowingly, a hundred years passed by in a hurry.

This Li Family and Shen Family are remarkable; back then, when Fang Laozu was able to establish the sect, he received a great favor from the Li Family, so he took care of the Li Family a lot.

"Greetings, Sect Master!"

Just at this moment, a long, resonant bell chime came from within the clouds and mist.

Bai Caiwei coldly glanced at those cultivation family disciples.

"Greetings, Senior Sister!"

"Disciple is here!"

Shen Le snorted coldly, but he also knew that Bai Caiwei had always been impartial and would not seek private revenge. It seemed that this time in the sect selection, the family disciples were indeed inferior to the Loose Cultivators.

Aaron asked.

The mountain girl kept her head down, but her eyes held a trace of stubbornness.

Before, when he was roleplaying as Li Qingjing, he relied on "lying flat"—the barefoot are not afraid of those wearing shoes—which made the surrounding powers hesitant to act.

Looking at the crowd standing up, he cleared his throat: "The Yaowang Sect is newly established, and I will temporarily serve as Sect Master; a suitable candidate will be sought later... My Yaowang Sect is divided into Inner and Outer Sects. Those at the Qi Refining Middle Stage and below are Outer Sect Disciples, and those at the Qi Refining Late Stage and above are Inner Sect Disciples. Regardless of Inner or Outer Sect, once one reaches Foundation Establishment, they will be immediately promoted to Elder..."

The cultivators gathered here shouted excitedly one after another.

After all, there are no Nascent Soul cultivators here; as long as he shows a posture that is sufficiently difficult to provoke, these wolves of Golden Core powers would never dare to come forward and bite.

"My Yaowang Sect is opening its mountain gates; we teach without discrimination, and those with affinity may all come to try!"

Although they all took Youth Preserving Pills to maintain the appearance of young people, the vicissitudes in their eyes could no longer be hidden.

"There are still so many Golden Core powers?"

The woman in white said coldly: "My name is Bai Caiwei, and I am presiding over this disciple recruitment..."

Aaron waved his hand, secretly complaining that after the "Loose Cultivator arc" and "Family arc," he finally experienced the "Sect arc"...

On the mountaintop, in front of the towering gatehouse of the Yaowang Sect.

"Can I count this as stamp collecting?"

These Loose Cultivators and family cultivators are willing to join the sect not only because they need a big tree to rely on, but for their own Taoism path!

And the standard for a Golden Core major sect in the Far West is the ability to provide Foundation Establishment Pills with Stability!

The gazes of all the cultivators brightened at once...

Even within the Yaowang Sect, the family faction represented by the Li and Shen families occupied a large proportion, fighting openly and secretly with the Master-Disciple faction!

"Haha... what day is it today? Not only Loose Cultivators, but even ordinary people like cats and dogs want to join a major Golden Core sect?"

At the foot of a mountain.

"This is the roster..."

This is the prerequisite and foundation for the development of the sect!

"Hmm..."

As the Golden Core sect that covers the sky with one hand in the Lin Kingdom, every time the Yaowang Sect selects disciples, it always attracts a large number of Loose Cultivators and excellent disciples from cultivation families to come.

In a comfortable life, time always passes very quickly...

"Haha... very good, from today onwards, you are this seat's fourth Disciple."

A young Foundation Establishment cultivator wearing Elder robes stepped out; it was none other than Lin Ye, who had once traveled with Bai Caiwei!

However, that family of the Foundation Establishment cultivator from the Li clan back then had been wiped out by the Li Jia Lao Zu for being implicated in a major treason case...

"Terrible... it's actually being personally supervised by the Golden Core Ancestor's Personal Disciple!"

Shen Le was startled. His cultivation was inferior to Li Jianjie's, and he knew Li Jianjie had practiced a Spirit Eye technique, so he would certainly not be mistaken; he could not help but look at Bai Caiwei with a trace of jealousy.

"Master is above, please accept your disciple's bow!"

The other Loose Cultivators bowed one after another, while that hunter youth and mountain girl were stunned and hurriedly kowtowed...

"Hehe... Loose Cultivators also dare to come and snatch opportunities from the likes of us?"

To speak bluntly, the juniors of these two families coming to pay respects at the mountain gate were just going through the motions; they were basically guaranteed to be selected!

Bai Caiwei finished speaking coldly, transformed into a streak of white Light, and flew back to the mountain peak.

"Everyone, rise."

Aaron laughed, stood up, and said: "Yaowang Sect cultivators, follow this seat out to welcome our distinguished guests!"

Whoosh!

Accompanied by his words, a Magic Tool long hairpin stuck in his hair flew up, poised to strike!

"An immortal?"

Among them, the one leading the way was the eldest Disciple of this status—Bai Caiwei.

"Are the two Junior Brothers also here to watch the selection of disciples?"

"Zhengqi Academy comes to offer congratulations!"

Aaron usually spent most of his time cultivating and refining pills, casually delegating power to those below him, and was quite happy to be carefree.

"You are young and already at Foundation Establishment, clearly your aptitude is not bad... are you willing to be this seat's Personal Disciple?"

"Shuitian Sect sends an envoy to specifically congratulate the Yaowang Sect on the joy of establishing the sect!"

'This is the benefit of the Extreme West... one can act as they please upon reaching Golden Core. Although I don't care much for this, it is safe!'

Bai Caiwei responded with a smile: "It's just that the disciples of the cultivation families this time seem to have poor character... most have already been rejected... their determination for the Taoism is, after all, not as firm as that of the Loose Cultivators!"

The recipe for the Foundation Establishment Pill was not a secret at all to the current Aaron, and with his attainments in alchemy, refining a furnace of them was not a problem.

This begonia flower had stopped growing in the mortal world, but after being placed above the Spirit Vein, it had quite a flourishing air.

Then, he looked toward the center of the crowd at a few youths and maidens in brocade clothes, his face changing to a fawning expression: "Brother Li, Brother Shen... wouldn't you agree?"

"It's the Yaowang Sect!"

"Reporting to Master... today the mountain gate was thrown wide open, and many Loose Cultivators and families have come to pay respects, sending over a large number of seedlings with good aptitude..."

Occasionally, he would flick out a few strands of Dharma Power to send the failures down the mountain.

With a light sentence, Aaron stirred up the morale of the disciples below.

The development of the Yaowang Sect was extremely rapid because it could accept all kinds of cultivators like a sea gathering a hundred rivers...

Li Jianjie hurriedly presented a Jade Slip, which was marked very carefully, containing everything from their background, Spirit Root aptitude, and Bone Age...

The wealthy-looking youth who had previously mocked the Loose Cultivators saw this scene and felt even more displeased, stepping forward and waving his hand: "Go, go... what are mortals joining in the fun for? Why haven't you scrambled away yet!"

A world where great power belongs to oneself is just that willful!

He arrived at the front mountain gate and found that everything was a scene of prosperity.

At this moment, Lin Ye also walked out from the mountain gate and laughed: "What a good day it is today, that the four of us are actually gathered together?"
