I can't keep a low profile when cultivating immortality; the sixth one is actually myself.

The spirit was activated automatically for no reason.

The result was quite different from what was in the book.

This left Toyokawa completely baffled.

Hesitating, I don't know whether it's good or bad.

If I can't figure it out, if I really can't figure it out, I might as well stop thinking about it.

Anyway, we're still in the beginner stage, and none of us have even gotten started yet!

Why am I panicking?

I'm not panicking at all!

Perhaps it's because they haven't practiced any cultivation techniques, who knows!

The specific reasons may be found in other books.

So Toyokawa put the book back in its place.

And then he casually took out the next book.

As usual, continue reading.

The sea of ​​books is endless, just read them and don't worry about anything else!

Several days passed in this manner.

The day for assessing new disciples quietly arrived.

This assessment was free of any fancy tricks.

Just like taking an exam for ordinary people, it's simply about answering a test paper.

After the disciples finished answering, the elders of the supervisory hall personally reviewed the papers.

The basic introductory assessment passed uneventfully without any major incident.

Three days later, the assessment results were announced.

Most people passed the test.

Only about a hundred people failed the assessment.

They had never been to school as children and had to start learning to read and write from a young age.

As a result, due to his advanced age, his learning progress was slow.

After verifying the actual situation, the sect...

Instead of a complete rout, they were simply demoted.

Instead, it gave them another chance.

They were allowed to study for another six months.

If you still can't pass the assessment by then, then I'm sorry.

The rules are there; just follow them!

Among those who passed this assessment, quite a few, more than thirty, achieved full marks.

Toyokawa is among them.

Judging from this, this batch of new disciples is really not bad!

As a result, all the major branches are sharpening their knives, ready to snatch up the talent!

On the day the assessment results were announced, all the newly recruited disciples received a notification: a ceremony to enter the meridian system would be held three days later.

Location: Outer Gate Square.

The thing that never passes in this world is time.

Three days passed by in a flash.

Early on the fourth day.

The newly recruited disciples who had passed the assessment cheered and gathered in the outer gate square.

Meanwhile, thirteen ornate pavilions had already been erected in the middle of the square.

Each pergola was rather simple.

The room contains several chairs, a long table, and a signboard next to it.

The signs listed the names of the major branches.

There is also a brief introduction to the affairs that each branch is responsible for within the sect.

First and foremost is the main branch, Qingyun Peak.

The introduction states: The main branch of the sect, which governs the entire sect and controls all sect affairs.

Then there's Zhengyang Peak.

The Sect Enforcement Hall is responsible for maintaining sect order and investigating violations and misconduct by disciples and elders.

Then comes Lieyang Peak.

Responsible for all matters related to the refining and supply of various magical treasures and spiritual artifacts for the sect.

Then there's Xiaodan Peak.

Responsible for all matters related to the refining and supply of elixirs for the sect.

Bai Lingfeng: Responsible for all matters related to the planting and cultivation of spiritual plants within the sect.

Zheng Nanfeng: Responsible for overseeing all matters concerning the outer sect.

Da Zhongfeng: Responsible for overseeing all matters within the inner sect.

Ziyun Peak: Responsible for all matters related to the sect's external affairs and reception.

Liu Yunfeng: Responsible for all matters, including internal affairs of the sect.

Dark Cloud Peak: Responsible for intelligence gathering and external reconnaissance.

Guanxia Peak: Guarding the ancient Sword Pavilion, a branch of the sword path, protecting the main lineage internally, and defending against powerful enemies externally.

Jinzhu Peak: Guards the Sword Washing Pool, a branch of the sword path, protecting the main lineage internally and defending against powerful enemies externally.

Cuiwei Peak: Protects the Enlightenment Stele, a branch of the sword path, internally safeguards the main lineage, and externally defends against powerful enemies.

The Qingyun Sword Sect has thirteen lineages, each with its own specific duties.

Next, each disciple can freely choose a branch that interests them according to their own wishes.

Of course, the main line will be the most popular.

In order to maintain the balance of each branch, each branch has imposed certain restrictions on the number of people and their qualifications.

Firstly, the main lineage can prioritize selecting disciples.

However, only one out of thirteen can be selected; any remaining portions can be chosen first.

If there are fewer than thirteen main veins, one should be selected first.

For example, among the newly recruited disciples this time.

There are only five people with Heavenly Grade Spiritual Roots.

With fewer than thirteen people, the main branch can prioritize selecting one of them.

For example, there are thirty-six people with Earth-grade spiritual roots.

The main branch can prioritize selecting two people.

Of the remaining ten people, one more will be selected first.

In this way, the balance of each meridian can be maintained, while ensuring the relative dominance of the main meridian.

As for the main branch, the other branches rely entirely on ability and fair competition, but over-hiring is not allowed.

However, this time each branch is recruiting new members.

In fact, the main faction had already decided on the candidate, while the other factions were kept in the dark.

First, among the Heavenly Grade Spiritual Roots.

The main branch selected Huangfu Chuxia, who was familiar with Fengchuan.

Secondly, among the Earth-grade spiritual roots.

The main characters chosen were Feng Chuan, He Lanxi, and Nangong Yue.

As for why most of them are girls?

It might be because the current sect leader is a woman.

Then there are those born with spiritual bodies.

Excluding those with Heavenly Spiritual Roots and Earthly Spiritual Roots, fifteen people remain.

The main character was Lan Yuyan, with He Buwei added as well.

Among disciples of other qualification levels.

The main faction also selected Du Shaoling, Sima Jinghong, Shangguan Fei, and Zhao Yunfei.

Unbeknownst to them, most of Toyokawa and his group had been selected for the main branch.

Toyokawa and his team never expected to be so lucky.

They were both chosen by the main branch, Qingyun Peak, and became disciples of the main branch.

To become fellow disciples from the same lineage would be the best outcome.

They were very pleased with this.

I never imagined they would be able to enter the main branch together.

It's truly a case of 'not expecting to be called out—because I didn't expect it.'

The other branches were somewhat surprised.

Has the main branch changed its nature? Why is it so humble?

They didn't even try to forcibly take it?

That's good! That's how you make the main thread of the story!

Set an example by your own actions and be a role model for others.

Then they had nothing to say.

So at this moment, all the other branches are doing their utmost.

Recruit disciples with high aptitude.

Of course, this only applies to those disciples who have the potential to become direct disciples and core members.

Other disciples were only recruited symbolically by each branch.

The remaining disciples who were not recruited were distributed equally, just like the outer disciples.

However, the distribution was based on the disciples' wishes.

Unless, too many disciples wish to join the same lineage.

The best candidates from this branch will be selected, and the rest will have to fill the gaps in other branches.

The whole process was relatively fair and just.

The disciples didn't complain much, mainly because they were too afraid to have any.

After all, the plight of the menial disciples was still fresh in their minds.

Compared to the menial disciples, they were already very fortunate.

The recruitment of new members by each branch did not last long before all the new disciples had been divided up.

A total of 1,752 disciples were selected this time.

The main branch recruited 135 people, and the other branches recruited about the same number.

In this way, everyone will naturally be happy.

All the branches were very satisfied with the addition of so many high-quality disciples at once.

On that day, each branch sent disciples over.

They took the recruited disciples away and sent them to their respective branch locations.

……

Because the sect occupies a vast area, the main peaks of each branch are quite far apart.

In order to maintain the operation of the sect, each branch will take turns sending a group of disciples to guard the public areas of the sect.

For example, the outer gate plaza area and the inner gate plaza area.

There are also special training grounds, resource production areas, and sect-owned properties.

Most sect affairs are handled at the main office in the public area.

Each branch also has a corresponding branch office.

Each branch is only responsible for handling internal affairs of its respective department.

For matters related to the sect, you can only handle them at the main branch.

Furthermore, the transactions processed by each branch need to be periodically summarized at the main branch.

The Qingyun Sword Sect disciples are divided into five levels.

Disciples, core members, inner disciples, outer disciples, and servants.

However, within the sect, only two common areas for disciples were set up: the inner sect and the outer sect.

Disciples who perform miscellaneous tasks are found throughout the sect; wherever there are miscellaneous tasks, there are disciples who perform them.

Outer disciples are primarily responsible for managing the outer sect area.

Inner disciples are primarily responsible for managing the inner sect area.

Core disciples and direct disciples generally cultivate in their respective branches and do not participate in the sect's secular affairs.

……

After being selected to join the main lineage, the disciples arrived at Qingyun Peak.

The outer disciples were settled in a vast area at the foot of the mountain.

Each person gets a small villa for cultivating immortality.

The inner disciples were placed in an area halfway up the mountain.

Each person gets a large villa for cultivating immortality.

Everyone here has just entered the channel and has not yet formally begun their practice.

Therefore, there are no longer core disciples and personal disciples.

Of course, just because they don't have it doesn't mean that Qingyun Peak doesn't.

Among the previous generations of disciples, there are still many core members and direct disciples.

However, they do not cultivate on the main peak.

They've basically all built separate hilltops around the main peak.

This is a privilege granted by the sect to its core members and close disciples.

We arrived at the mountainside of Qingyun Peak.

The inner disciples of Fengchuan were inexplicably assigned to the same area again.

The difference is that previously there were densely packed commercial buildings, and now there are detached villas.

Yes, the benefits are quite good, and everyone is quite satisfied.

In the world of cultivation, large villas have a special name, generally referred to as 'cave dwellings'.

Fengchuan entered his cultivation cave, which was quite unique inside.

A small pond, a small garden, and a small medicinal herb garden.

In the pond, the water was clear, and several koi of different colors swam in it.

One of them was very lively.

Upon seeing someone approaching, it slowly swam to Toyokawa.

Its head floated on the surface of the water, constantly blowing bubbles.

It's so endearing!

I strolled into the small garden.

The park is filled with colorful flowers and plants.

In the middle of the garden, there is a peach tree.

I don't know what kind of peach tree it is; I wish it were a Lingtao peach!

With peach blossoms in full bloom, a sense of inexplicable warmth arises spontaneously.

The peach trees in Qingxi's hometown must be full of blossoms at this time of year!

A narrow blue stone path lies before us.

The path winds its way to an elegant attic.

The pavilion has upturned eaves at all four corners and has two stories.
