The whole family went mad, but the junior sister turned the tables and her luck soared.

A month after Yun Yici left, a "strange" guest arrived at the Nanhua Sect.

It was a spirit bird with a red crest, a long beak, and magnificent tail feathers.

With a pearl in its mouth, it spread its wings and landed on the owl-shaped beast on the eaves of the main hall.

The same scenario is also occurring in other top-tier corporations and various large cities.

The spirit pearl, once in the hands of the sect leaders and city lords, transformed into a name card with extraordinary charm.

The divine decree was issued, and the whole world was astonished!

Yun Yici had given advance notice to the Nanhua Sect, and the other sects, unaware of this, each harbored their own secret ambitions.

Ever since Rakshasa Illusion Sea exposed the whereabouts of the Lingwei Sect's group of living fathers a hundred years ago.

In fact, they had long anticipated that this day would come sooner or later, but they did not expect it to come so soon.

The good news is that the post from Lingwei Sect was announcing the founding of the sect and the immediate acceptance of disciples, rather than ordering them to submit.

The bad news... is that the Nanhua Sect, like the Lingwei Sect, is a sword sect.

A good bird chooses a good tree to perch on. With the emergence of the Lingwei Sect, I'm afraid the Nanhua Sect will have a hard time recruiting disciples.

However, what is interesting is that the leader of the Lingwei Sect is Yun Yici!

They shouldn't be too familiar with the name Yun Yici.

It's highly likely that this is the connection between Rakshasa Illusion Sea and Lingwei Sect.

Many sects were openly or secretly waiting to see how the Nanhua Sect would react.

The question is whether to compete with the Lingwei Sect for fundamental interests, or to try to win over the new leader of the Lingwei Sect and get a share of the spoils.

To everyone's surprise, the Nanhua Sect remained calm and even sent Wen Fuyue and her disciples to the Lingwei Sect with generous gifts to establish a good relationship in advance.

Just as Yan Jing said, once the Lingwei Sect is determined to reopen its sect, they cannot stop them.

Even if it weren't Yun Yici, the Lingwei Sect would have chosen another cultivator to serve as its leader.

That would be better than Yun Yici.

At least she had some affection for the Nanhua Sect, and with her mediating between them, the two sects naturally became closer and did not become completely antagonistic.

Those who wait to see the Nanhua Sect and the Lingwei Sect fight are destined to be disappointed.

In contrast to the eleven major powers, which adopted a wait-and-see attitude, the city lords of the various major cities were also taking a wait-and-see approach.

The Lingwei Sect said they wanted to accept disciples, but they didn't say how.

In the past, the grand ceremony for accepting disciples of the twelve sects was often held in a prosperous city.

Each city will use spirit stones to test the spiritual roots of all eligible children in the city, and then send them to the city where the grand event is held for selection by various sects.

Of course, they didn't work for nothing; maintaining good relations with the Twelve Sects brought them many benefits.

The city lords were torn between sending people to the Lingwei Sect and the Twelve Sects, as they would offend the Twelve Sects if they sent them to the Lingwei Sect first, and offend the Lingwei Sect if they sent them to the Twelve Sects first.

Top sects have their pride, and no one wants to take the disciples that others have left over.

That's why they put all twelve sects together to select disciples.

The only city lord who doesn't need to worry about this is City Lord Ji of Yinxian City.

Thanks to the projection of the outer pavilion in the city, Yinxian City has expanded considerably compared to a hundred years ago, and its economy is thriving.

They rose to power through the outer pavilion of the Lingwei Sect, so there's no need to worry. As soon as City Lord Ji received the visiting card, he started preparing gifts.

There was another difference between the name cards Yun Yici sent to Yinxian City and those sent elsewhere.

That is to take out the surplus of the outer pavilion over the past hundred years as funds for the operation of the sect.

There's no way around it; starting a sect is just burning through money, burning through money, burning through money.

The disciple's robes need to be custom-made; I can ask Senior Brother Rong for help with that.

The disciples and elders will receive monthly stipends, which are in the form of real spirit stones.

Establishing a reward and punishment system is essential; it's unacceptable to have only punishments without any rewards, and the means of rewarding should not be too inadequate.

There's also the empty Spirit Herb Peak; we need to find a way to purchase a batch of seeds of spiritual herbs, plants, and trees.

No matter how powerful the Netherworld Tree Spirit is, it cannot make spiritual herbs grow out of thin air on land where no seeds have been sown.

Yun Yici gave away all the Nine-Turn Nascent Soul Fruits she had obtained in the past.

She has already reached the Void Refinement stage and no longer needs this Nine-Turn Nascent Soul Fruit.

The original plan was to sell it for a large sum of spirit stones or as a reward for outstanding disciples in the future.

But the spirit of the Netherworld Tree said he could grow a tree that bears the fruit of infants.

So Yun Yici planted the Nine-Turn Nascent Soul Fruit. One fruit for a whole tree, it was worth it!

The only thing that made her feel a little better was that the palaces and fairy landscapes in the Lingwei Sect could be automatically repaired.

Therefore, a large amount of spirit stones can be saved for repairs.

Thinking back to when she was still in the Nanhua Sect, every time Yan Jing finished his class, the entire classroom would be smashed to pieces with tables and chairs flying everywhere.

Yun Yici shuddered.

From a disciple's perspective, it didn't seem like much back then, but now it all looks like a cascade of spirit stones!

Yun Yici was so busy that his feet barely touched the ground, afraid that his disciples would find something wrong when they came in and expose his incompetence.

Fortunately, Shen Huaichuan and Yue Niang were both helping, checking the conditions of each peak and calculating the cost of spirit stones.

In fact, the entire Lingwei Sect only had nine people in total, making it quite empty.

Each peak stands alone, awaiting its future master.

Yun Yici glanced at the account book that Shen Huaichuan had brought over, then sighed, "The road to the revival of the sect is long and arduous."

For a long time before the new generation of disciples grew up, there were only spirit stones going out and no spirit stones coming in.

Isn't it difficult?

Seeing her frowning in worry, Shen Huaichuan comforted her, "Sect Leader, there's no need to worry. I'll go out and find a way to earn some spirit stones."

There are plenty of high-paying bounty missions in this world. For someone like Shen Huaichuan, getting him to help is not a matter of spirit stones at all.

But Shen Huaichuan now says that he'll do anything if he has spirit stones.

Of course, one spirit stone is not enough; a hundred million spirit stones would be more like it.

Yun Yici calculated that the spirit stones on the books were enough for them to last for about ten years, and she said, "There's no rush for this."

The most urgent task is to take on disciples, train them, and establish a virtuous cycle.

Once the disciples have some ability to protect themselves, they can be taken out to take on missions, earning spirit stones while gaining practical experience.

As the two were talking, they suddenly heard a clear, melodious sound coming from the golden bell hanging under the eaves and in front of the window.

These golden bells were originally a pair, capable of transmitting sound; the other one is located at the mountain gate, near the dragon's lair.

Yun Yici released a burst of spiritual energy, and the sound transformed into Long Jiao's voice: "Little... Sect Leader Yun, your master and senior brother have arrived."

Yun Yici said happily, "Quickly, invite them in!"

"I'll be right over."

The Lingwei Sect and the Nanhua Sect are located in opposite directions. Even though they know there will be plenty of opportunities to meet again, the reunion will only last for a few days, and they will inevitably feel melancholy.

The joy of the master and his disciples being reunited goes without saying.

However, on the other hand, someone who had just arrived at the Nanhua Sect unfortunately found nothing.

"Master isn't here? Junior Sister isn't here either?"

"What about Senior Brother Rong and Junior Brother Ning?"

"What? They all went to the Lingwei Sect?"

"The Lingwei Sect is not..."

The speaker suddenly stopped talking, but the white-robed priest beside him seized on the key phrase: "Then let's go to the Lingwei Sect too."
