The Path of Survivor begins with obtaining titles - Chapter 505: Recruiting Outer Sect Disciple_2

Because if one opportunity is missed, they will be immediately eliminated, and they will not be allowed to come again next time.

The majority of them are strong adults aged between thirty to fifty. These people participated in every sermon from the first to the last without missing any.

They all have a heart that yearns to climb upwards, not wanting to spend their entire lives farming in the Spiritual Fields of the Outer Sect.

When Lin Yi began recruiting disciples, he purposely went to the Outer Sect. Over fifty people gathered at the Outer Sect Affairs Hall, but in the end, only around thirty arrived.

According to the Outer Sect’s steward elder, those who did not come either left the Liu Yun Sect or because of certain events, met their accidental death.

This made Lin Yi sigh. With such a high mortality rate, his decision to choose the Path of Survivor was extremely correct. Otherwise, he estimated that the grass on his grave would be as tall as Old Huang’s by now.

He took a look at the cultivation realms of the thirty-odd people. More than twenty years had passed, and their levels had only increased by about one layer compared to before, with a few having improved by two cultivation levels.

The minimum requirement to enter the Outer Sect and farm the fields is to be at the Qi Refining peak of the initial stage. It may appear that their cultivation has only increased by one or two layers, but they have actually crossed a small realm, progressing from initial to middle stage.

The spiritual energy in the Outer Sect is scarce; cultivation can only be done through consuming Spirit Rice or by going to the Cultivation cave mansion in Qing Yun City. Plus, they have to farm regularly. Thus, rising one or two Cultivation levels over the time span of over twenty years is considered an achievement.

Not only that, according to the introduction by the Elder of the Outer Sect Affairs, these people have taken the task of tending to the Spiritual Fields seriously, mostly all of them have received rewards from the Sinong Palace.

Keep in mind that those with Medium Grade Spirit Roots in the Inner Sect advanced from the first layer of the Qi Initial Stage to the middle stage of the fifth or sixth layer at best.

The thirty or so disciples who saw Yun Yi Zen Ren had excitement in their eyes and respectfully bowed deeply, saying, “Disciple pays respect to Yun Yi Zen Ren.”

Ever since they entered the Outer Sect, the disciples who came to deliver sermons were at most at the perfect stage of Qi Refining. They have never seen a Golden Core Real Person.

However, Yun Yi Zen Ren was willing to condescend to the Outer Sect to preach for them continuously, imparting very useful knowledge, rather than just going through the motions, which caused their hearts to fill with gratitude and reverence.

Lin Yi nodded gently, then used his Eye of Emptiness to examine the alignment aura of these people, checking if there was any change. Some people may have been good at first, but perhaps were influenced by certain events and started harboring evil thoughts.

According to the rules of the Causal Thread, as long as it is retaliation with a justified reason, it won’t be considered evil. If one were to intentionally kill innocent people, then that would be purely wicked.

Just like when he killed the Master of Bi Hai, due to the latter wanting to kill him. Murder in such circumstances naturally counts as justifiable retaliation.

Ten of these people saw a change in their alignment aura, and a dash of black appeared. He shook his head; the appearance of black represents the murder of innocent people, whether it’s greed overriding one’s judgment upon seeing wealth, or killing others over minor matters, all of these are included.

“The ten of you, go back.” Lin Yi waved his hand gently, and an air current carried these ten people out of the Outer Sect Affairs Hall.

Then, he turned his gaze to the remaining twenty-three people. “It is indeed rare for you all to maintain your kind nature unchanged over the past twenty or so years. Are you willing to enter the Inner Sect and become registered disciples of my Yun Yi Lineage? After passing the probationary period, you can become official disciples.”

The alignment aura is the clearest depiction of everything. Even if a person is usually harmless, as long as they harbored evil thoughts and committed evil deeds, it will show.

After his cultivation level reached the Nascent Soul realm, using the Eye of Emptiness allows him to see things in a deeper sense.

These are the first batch of Outer Sect Disciples he taught. Since they have always maintained their kind nature, he wouldn’t mind giving them the opportunity to become registered disciples.

Upon hearing Lin Yi’s words, the twenty-three Outer Sect disciples were taken aback, as if their minds had crashed from this shocking news.

“What are you dumbfounded for? Aren’t you going to thank Yun Yi Zen Ren? Don’t tell me you aren’t willing to enter the Inner Sect.” Seeing this, the Elder of the Affairs Hall at the side couldn’t help but remind them.

There was a hint of envy on his face; although he was also an Inner Sect Disciple, his Golden Core Lineage had two or three thousand disciples, and he was inconspicuous among them. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been banished to the Outer Sect as an elder.

After entering the Yun Yi Lineage, these Outer Sect Disciples would surely be valued. Perhaps they would even achieve the Foundation Establishment before him.

The Outer Sect Disciples quickly came back to their senses, and one after another, they knelt and bowed in excitement. “We thank Yun Yi Zen Ren, we wish to become disciples.”

Entering the Inner Sect was a coveted aspiration for all of them, these Outer Sect Disciples, even if only becoming a Registered Disciple would be a great stride.

Though through some punishment and reward measures of the Outer Sect, they had chances to enter the Inner Sect, it would not be feasible without decades of hard work.

But now, they could enter the Inner Sect directly and become Registered Disciples of Yun Yi Peak, giving them the feeling that they must be in a dream.

“Rather than calling it a True Person, it should be called Master now.” The Elder of the Affairs Hall taught them impatiently.

“Thank you, Master Yun Yi.” These Outer Sect Disciples bowed their heads again.

Lin Yi nodded slightly, “Remember, you are only Registered Disciples. If you violate the Sect’s rules, or bully others with your status, you will be expelled from the Liu Yun Sect. Even the Outer Sect will not accept you back then, understand?”

“Disciples will remember Master’s teachings.” All the people nodded their heads seriously. They would absolutely treasure this hard-earned status of being Inner Sect Disciples.

“Go back and pack your belongings. Gather here in half an hour. I’ll take you into the Inner Sect.” Lin Yi waved his hand and said.

All the disciples bowed once again and hurried back to pack their belongings.

When these disciples had left, the Elder of the Affairs Hall hurriedly said, “Yun Yi Zen Ren, let me pour you another cup of tea.”

“No need, I’m going to step out for a walk.” Lin Yi beckoned and flew away from the Affairs Hall, heading to the burial site of the Outer Sect Spirit Farmers.

It had been one hundred sixty to seventy years since he entered the Inner Sect. Although many things change with time, these hundred or so years were just a fleeting moment in the Cultivation World.

He had once asked an Outer Sect Disciple to look after Old Huang’s grave. Now it had been nearly a century since he last visited. The grass on the grave was growing quite high.

With a wave of Lin Yi’s hand, the weeds instantly withered and decayed. This was not the Decay Technique, but his Wood Elemental Ability derived from his Yin Nascent Soul.

Sitting before the grave, Lin Yi’s face reflected a multitude of emotions. The last time he saw Old Huang, he had just successfully achieved Foundation Establishment, and now he had become a Nascent Soul True Monarch.

Realms that were once far and unattainable were within his grasp now. After his arrival in the Cultivation world, he could see Golden Core Real Persons, but Nascent Soul True Monarchs were not something ordinary cultivators could encounter.

During his previous Nascent Soul gestation and True Self enlightenment, he saw Old Huang in his memory. Remembering the promise he made to Old Huang after his successful Foundation Establishment, he instantly woke up.

Lin Yi reflected on the past nostalgically. Perhaps Old Huang had long since been reincarnated, and his chances to visit here would be becoming less and less in future.

After a while, he left, riding on his sword. When he returned to the Outer Sect Affairs Hall, he found that everyone had gathered and then he took them on a Spirit Boat toward the Inner Sect.

At the entrance to the Inner Sect, Lin Yi released his Energy explaining that these were his selected disciples, then they entered smoothly.

Being a Golden Core Real Person and the master of his Lineage, he naturally could recruit disciples without the Sect’s approval.

Not to mention Lower-Grade Spiritual Roots, even if he brought an ordinary person without any Spiritual Roots in, he would not encounter any hindrance.

Of course, when entering the Inner Sect, the Sect needs to scan these disciples with Spiritual Sense to prevent any fugitives or rogue cultivators from entering.

Lin Yi didn’t directly fly them in, instead, they walked past the Cloud Attraction Platform. The first time anyone experiences the shock of the Inner Sect is something these disciples need to experience themselves.

As expected, upon entering the Inner Sect, from atop the Cloud Attraction Platform, seeing the heavenly Inner Sect, these Outer Sect disciples had shocked expressions on their faces and gasped in astonishment.

Some Inner Sect Disciples nearby who saw them also showed kindly smiles. After all, they had also been like this upon their first arrival.

Upon seeing Lin Yi behind them, all disciples couldn’t help raising their fists in salute, “Disciples pay respects to True Person Yun Yi.”
