Master, you go first!

Two years later, Lingxue Mountain Sect.

A young man in white is wielding a golden flying sword. The flying sword is extremely bright, scattering golden light everywhere it passes, like stars falling.

The flying sword was also decorated with dragons and phoenixes, which were so exquisite that they blinded the eyes of many sect disciples.

The young man landed gracefully in the square and walked towards the main peak hall. Many disciples of the sect started talking after seeing it.

"Hey, did you see that, that person is Danfeng's eldest disciple, who is said to be the richest man in the sect."

"Not only that, I heard that he is the illegitimate son of the sect master. He can ask the sect leader for millions of spirit stones as pocket money just by asking."

"No, it's such an exaggeration. Why don't we live like this?"

"That's an exaggeration. Look at his flying sword. It's said to be a holy flying sword. Do you know how much it's worth? It'll scare you to death if you tell me."

"How much?"

"Fifty million!"

"Wow, does this senior brother have a Taoist companion?" A young female disciple asked with eyes shining, a question that all the female disciples present wanted to ask.

"No, but I heard that he has been raised by his master since he was a child, and he will become a Taoist couple with him in two years. You have no chance."

"Hey, it turns out he's a pretty boy who relies on women for his livelihood." A certain disciple said sour grapes.

……

This young man is Gu Jiu. In the past two years, the sect has developed smoothly and has recruited many disciples. Now the sect has no less than five thousand people.

However, because Shen Nian did not want to teach disciples, Danfeng did not accept any more disciples. He only accepted the three handyman disciples who were working in the front hall and entered the inner gate.

The handyman disciples originally had little talent for cultivation, but Gu Jiu used the Spirit Cleansing Pill to cleanse the three of them to the eighth level of spiritual roots, which cost him hundreds of Spirit Cleansing Pills. According to Gu Jiu's words, everyone has lived under the same roof for so long and is familiar with each other. We can't do without everyone's benefits. We will help if we can.

The three disciples are all a few years older than Gu Jiu, but immortal cultivators pay more attention to seniority, so they all call them Senior Brother Gu Jiu.

After Shen Nian accepted the apprenticeship, he left the three of them to Gu Jiu to take care of them. After that, he brushed off his clothes and hid his merit and fame.

……

Gu Jiu walked into the main hall, where Ji Chuxue was waiting for him.

"Sect Master, are you looking for me?"

"Well, I want to ask you. Now the sect is developing relatively smoothly, but the number of disciples is still relatively small. Do you have any ideas to recruit more disciples? Other sects with similar strength to ours have no less than ten thousand disciples. Ours has more than ten thousand disciples. Not half as good as others."

"It's quite a lot, isn't it? There are five thousand people. The most important thing is the quality, not the quantity."

"That being said, if there are not enough people to produce talented disciples, there will naturally be few, so we have to expand the number of disciples. You know, the Qiankun Sect has 20,000 people, and the Guangming Sect not only fifty thousand."

"How many people are you targeting?"

"Ten thousand. Just follow the number of people from nearby small sects first."

Gu Jiu held her chin and thought for a moment, then said,

"There are some ways. One is to recruit from other sects, but that may offend people. After all, our place here is indeed a bit remote, and the population base is originally small.

The second way is to relax the entry requirements. Just lower the requirements for spiritual roots. "

Ji Chuxue thought for a while after hearing this.

"Indeed, it can only be like this, but for the time being, it is better not to recruit from other sects. It is too arrogant. But the spiritual root requirements you mentioned are lowered, and the qualifications of the disciples recruited are not high, and it seems that they are not very useful. .”

"You can use the Spirit Cleansing Pill, but if you do this, the Spirit Cleansing Pill will be exposed. What do you think?"

"It's better to discuss this issue with the elders. Personally, I think the method you proposed using the Spirit-Cleaning Pill is better. Otherwise, we should take this opportunity to sell the Spirit-Cleaning Pill to the public."

"I don't think it's appropriate. It's better to take advantage of the Qiankun Sect. We still have to wait for the ancestor to break through."

"That's right, okay, then you should arrange for more spiritual elixirs to come out." Ji Chuxue looked at Gu Jiu with a smile.

"Okay, five hundred pills per month." Gu Jiu replied.

After thinking about it, Gu Jiu said again,

"Sect Master, show me your sword."

"Oh? Is there something wrong?"

"No, I went to the Spirit Collection this time to find an ice spirit crystal, and took it to my ancestor to see if it can be enchanted."

In the difficult secret realm two years ago, Lu Qian finally turned the wheel and turned a frost sword. This guy's luck is very good, and he won the first prize.

Ji Chuxue took out the sword and gave it to Gu Jiu. This sword is completely white and looks like it is not very sharp, but in fact it cuts through iron like mud. The level is probably above the holy level. As for whether it has reached the god level or not, no one can make a conclusion. After all, no one has ever seen a god level weapon.

Gu Jiu wanted to give it a try. If he could enchant it according to the methods in ancient books, he might be the best in the holy order. If the enchantment is not high, it may have reached the divine level.

Gu Jiu took the sword and put it into the storage ring, and then went to Bai Duan Peak to find Qiu Qigang. Mr. Qiu returned to Bai Duan Peak today.

"What is Shen Nian's current level of cultivation?" Ji Chuxue asked.

"The fifth level of the middle stage of pill formation."

"Is there still a problem with practicing now?"

"Well, I still haven't found the reason. I feel dizzy after practicing for a long time. It can't last more than two days at a time. I have to rest for two days." Gu Jiu replied.

Ji Chuxue frowned after hearing this.

Shen Nian has been in this situation since he broke through to the Dan Formation Realm. Every time he practices for a long time, he can no longer hold on. This has been the case for the past two years. The cause has never been found, and many methods and elixirs have been tried to no avail.

If she didn't practice, she would be just like a normal person without any discomfort. It was quite strange, and it bothered her very much.

Gu Jiu also searched many ancient jade slips for this purpose, but could not find any similar records.

"Don't worry, Sect Master, she is basically used to it now."

"Well, that's all it can do. What about your cultivation?"

"Five levels of foundation building."

"You are too lazy. Now that there is a spirit gathering array, your master is half practicing and half resting. He is still a level higher than you. You are only on the fifth level." Ji Chuxue looked disgusted. Her own Nascent Soul has also reached the second level, which is more difficult than the tenth level of foundation building.

"Hehe, don't I like making money?" Gu Jiu smiled sheepishly, "Whenever I get tired of making money, I will definitely improve my cultivation."

"I believe you, go ahead, go ahead, the ancestor is at Baidu Peak." Ji Chuxue said angrily.

Gu Jiu said goodbye to Ji Chuxue and headed to Baidian Peak with his sword.

In the past two years, the father and son of the Qiu family in Baidu Peak have also succeeded in reaching the level of heaven-level weapon refiners thanks to the weapon refining technique.

Because Qiu Junhao spent more time refining weapons, his level was a bit higher than that of his father. However, due to too many refining weapons, his cultivation level has not yet reached the level of elixir formation, but is still a little short of reaching foundation building perfection.
