Chapter 577
Not only Seeing Sangsang,
but these two little girls named Hua Jin and Feifei—I should see if I can take them in as well!
Immediately after,
Sect Leader Lin swept her gaze over the little divine doctor and Qu Feiyan.
In her view,
as long as they are nurtured a little, whether it is Hua Jin or Qu Feiyan, they both have a great chance of breaking through to the Spirit-Wandering Mystic Realm in the future!
Especially this girl named Hua Jin; it is not impossible for her to even break through to the Great Carefree Realm in the future!
And as for experts of the Great Carefree Realm,
even the Quanzhen Sect has only one or two of them!
Added to Li Mochou and Little Dragon Maiden, in whom she had already placed high hopes, as long as no accidents occur, breaking through to the Carefree Heaven Realm is almost a certainty.
By then,
counting herself, her Ancient Tomb Sect will have a full six or seven experts of the Carefree Heaven Realm.
At that time, let alone within the territory of the Great Song Dynasty,
even looking at the entire world, there will be few Jianghu factions that possess such strength!
To tell the truth,
since the time of her grandmaster Lin Chaoying, the Ancient Tomb Sect has had only a few disciples in total, which is quite rare in the Jianghu.
After Lin Chaoying left,
Sect Leader Lin had also thought about recruiting more disciples into the Ancient Tomb Sect.
Although she did not dare to hope for a scale like the Quanzhen Sect or the Beggar Gang,
it is a pity that the Ancient Tomb Sect's rules are too strict: one must be a maiden who has maintained her purity, and one must be suited for the Jade Maiden Heart Sutra technique. If one does not go out of their way to search for such disciples, one would likely not be able to recruit even two or three in a year.
Not to mention that after becoming a disciple of the Ancient Tomb Sect, one must live and eat inside the ancient tomb.
Even someone like Li Mochou, who has stayed in the ancient tomb since she was a child, has wanted to go out and see the outside world from time to time over these years.
One can imagine how boring it is to stay in the ancient tomb all the time.
This is also the reason why she was willing to let Little Dragon Maiden and Li Mochou follow her this time.
It is good to come out occasionally,
otherwise, she really worries that if she keeps Li Mochou from coming out like this, she might one day suffer a cultivation deviation while practicing the Jade Maiden Heart Sutra.
Therefore, compared to Li Mochou,
Sect Leader Lin usually pays more attention to Little Dragon Maiden's cultivation.
It is not that she does not like Li Mochou; she likes both of these disciples very much, but if she had to choose one of the two to succeed her as Sect Leader, Little Dragon Maiden is clearly more suitable.
However,
that was her previous thought.
Li Mochou had always thought that no one except Little Dragon Maiden and Jiang Chen knew about her secretly practicing the Nine Yin Manual.
But how could the expressions she occasionally revealed be hidden from Sect Leader Lin?
In the end,
apart from their personalities, in Sect Leader Lin's eyes, Li Mochou and Little Dragon Maiden are about the same—both are just innocent people who do not understand the ways of the world, with Li Mochou being at most slightly more playful.
How could the other party's little schemes be hidden from her?
However, Sect Leader Lin is not a pedantic person,
and if there really is a suitable cultivation method that does not belong to any sect, she would not truly forbid Li Mochou and Little Dragon Maiden from practicing it.
Just like this Nine Yin Manual,
although it is very famous throughout the Great Song Jianghu, it does not belong to any faction,
so she can naturally use it as a cultivation method for the Ancient Tomb Sect, and it is not impossible for it to even become the sect-protecting technique in the future.
Moreover,
with the Nine Yin Manual,
it will be much easier for the Ancient Tomb Sect to recruit disciples in the future.
After all, practicing the Jade Maiden Heart Sutra requires more than just good talent; one's temperament is equally important!
Li Mochou's martial arts talent is no worse than Little Dragon Maiden's, but Little Dragon Maiden is clearly more suited to practicing the Jade Maiden Heart Sutra than Li Mochou.
This is why, even though Li Mochou began practicing the Jade Maiden Heart Sutra years before Little Dragon Maiden, the difference in their realms is not large.
Actually,
on the way to Snow Moon City,
Sect Leader Lin had already been considering the matter of recruiting disciples.
After all, other sects invited by the Quanzhen Sect, whether they were genuinely there to support the Quanzhen Sect or to show off the strength of their own disciples to other factions, each sect brought at least a dozen disciples along with their respective sect leaders and elders.
Only her Ancient Tomb Sect had a mere four people, and that is counting Sun Nu, who can only be considered a housekeeper.
In the Jianghu, there are countless factions.
Every sect releases news about recruiting disciples every so often.
Recruiting disciples is not only to ensure the sect can be passed down from generation to generation, but also to see if new experts can be cultivated.
Only with more disciples under the sect
is there a better chance of giving birth to new experts of the Carefree Heaven Realm.
And only a sect with many experts possesses the foundation to establish itself in the Jianghu.
In the past, the Ancient Tomb Sect could ignore these things,
because even if a sect wanted to attack the Ancient Tomb Sect, they would have to get past the Quanzhen Sect first.
Just as Sun Nu said before,
Wang Chongyang has already broken through to the Spirit-Wandering Mystic Realm. If one day he were to suddenly leave just like Lin Chaoying, then no one would know if the Quanzhen Sect would still protect her Ancient Tomb Sect as it did before.
Not to mention that those Daoist priests down the mountain are not all good people.
After so many years of interaction,
Sect Leader Lin still knows a thing or two about the situation within the Quanzhen Sect.
And once someone within the Quanzhen Sect wants to harbor ill intentions toward her Ancient Tomb Sect,
then given the gap between the Ancient Tomb Sect and the Quanzhen Sect, the only way to preserve the Ancient Tomb Sect is to move it away from Mount Zhongnan.
But the ancient tomb is the sect location chosen by the founder Lin Chaoying,
and unless it is an absolute last resort, Sect Leader Lin does not want to move the sect to another place.
Moreover,
if even the Daoist priests of the Quanzhen Sect are like this, then how much better could those other Jianghu factions be?
If one is weak,
no matter where one goes, one will only be suppressed by other factions.
However!
What Sect Leader Lin did not expect was that she had only just arrived in Snow Moon City and had already encountered three good seedlings with extraordinary talent!
As long as she can take Seeing Sangsang and the others into the Ancient Tomb Sect,
then even if the disciples recruited in the next few years have only ordinary aptitude, it will not matter in the slightest.
Thinking of this,
Sect Leader Lin's cold gaze toward Seeing Sangsang and the others could not help but become gentle, and a rare smile even appeared on her face.
Subsequently,
under the strange gazes of Li Mochou and Little Dragon Maiden,
she was seen slowly squatting down: "So you are Seeing Sangsang. On the way here, Mochou and Long Er often mentioned you to me. Now that I see you in person, you are even more beautiful and cute than they described."
After finishing,
she even pinched Seeing Sangsang's cheeks.
Li Mochou, Little Dragon Maiden: "???"
Watching their Master squatting on the ground and affectionately holding Seeing Sangsang's little hand,
especially after hearing the other party's words,
