122: Master...?
“Then I’ll trouble Senior Brother to lead the way.” Xu Sanyan cupped his hands.
“Hahaha, Junior Brother will certainly not be disappointed. If Junior Brother performs well, he might even become Senior Brother Luo’s confidant, and from then on, his status will rise.”
Chi Yu’s eyes showed longing, “A Saint’s status is even above that of an Elder. Even if one becomes a Saint’s supporter, ordinary Elders wouldn’t dare to offend them.”
The two walked out while chatting, and Xu Sanyan asked, “How many Disciples are there in the Saint Sect?”
Chi Yu thought for a moment, “Our Chixin Lineage has the fewest members, about five to six hundred, because our Hall Master, that old man, has no intention of managing things and leaves everything to the various Elders. But these Elders have limited Cultivation, and can’t compete with other Hall Masters, so many good prospects are divided among the other three lineages.”
“The Blood Refinement Lineage has the most members, nearly two thousand, followed by the Union of Joy lineage, which also has over a thousand, and the Sect Master’s lineage has nearly a thousand.”
“So many people?” Xu Sanyan was surprised; all together, there were more than five thousand people.
“More than that. There are also some Outer Sect Disciples in the Inner Qi Realm, probably several thousand, and this doesn’t even count the Utility Disciples, of whom there are also ten to twenty thousand.”
“Utility Disciples?”
“Hehe… nominally, they are also considered our Saint Sect Disciples, but they only do servant work and are not considered human. If they displease you, you can kill them at will. The Discipline Hall will at most fine you a few Spirit Stones.”
The two walked and talked, and Xu Sanyan learned a lot of information.
Mortals and those in the Refining Essence Realm are Utility Disciples; they have no human rights, and the Sect rules do not protect them. Most are abducted from outside and can be purchased with Spirit Stones, which is a business for the Sect.
Those in the Inner Qi Realm and Heavenly Human Realm are Outer Sect Disciples; they have some human rights and cannot be killed at will. If caught, you will be fined.
Those in the Foundation Establishment Realm are official Disciples; they can accumulate merit by completing tasks and exchange it for Cultivation Techniques and Magic Treasures. They are also the backbone of the Sect.
Those in the Mystic Path Realm and Soul Refinement Realm are the Sect Elders, generally in charge of various halls, such as the Affairs Hall, Discipline Hall, Human Slave Hall, Corpse Blood Hall, and so on.
There are also hierarchies among the halls. For example, the Affairs Hall is very lucrative, and generally only Elders in the Soul Refinement Realm can control it.
However, tedious tasks like those in the Corpse Blood Hall are unwanted, so they are naturally assigned to Mystic Path Realm Elders, because the Corpse Blood Hall is responsible for disposing of various corpses, especially those most needed by the Blood Refinement Lineage.
More precisely, it’s like the distinction between Outer Sect Elders and Inner Sect Elders, with the Mystic Path Realm being Outer Sect Elders and the Soul Refinement Realm being Inner Sect Elders.
Above that is the Void Amalgamation Realm. According to Chi Yu, the three Hall Masters are at this Realm, and they are even among the best in the Void Amalgamation Realm.
Because in the Tongxin Demon Sect, there are more than just these three Void Amalgamation Realm Cultivators; it’s just that they couldn’t compete with the three of them.
It is said that among the previous Saints, there was a great Cultivator in the Void Amalgamation Realm who presumptuously challenged Flower Maiden, the Hall Master of the Union of Joy lineage, and was killed, his Physical Body shattered and Divine Soul dispersed.
Xu Sanyan couldn’t help but click his tongue upon hearing this news; even a Saint in the Void Amalgamation Realm died…
“Senior Brother Chi, when was the last time a Saint was selected?” Xu Sanyan was a bit curious.
“I don’t know, it’s probably been hundreds of years,” Chi Yu shook his head.
Hundreds of years…
Tsk tsk.
“We’re here. This is Senior Brother Luo’s Immortal Cave.” Chi Yu pointed to the waterside pavilion courtyard enclosed by blue bricks in front of them, speaking with a faint smile.
Xu Sanyan looked up, subconsciously comparing it to his own Immortal Cave. They were both Immortal Caves, so why was the difference so great?
Outside the gate, there was a Utility Disciple on guard. Seeing Chi Yu, he quickly offered a fawning smile, “Senior Brother Chi, you’re back! Senior Brother Luo is Cultivating in the back hall. You can go straight in.”
“Mm.”
Chi Yu nodded and led Xu Sanyan inside, “I haven’t asked yet, Junior Brother, what is your Cultivation Realm?”
Xu Sanyan paused slightly, “Middle-stage Foundation Establishment.”
Saying early-stage was a bit low, fearing he wouldn’t be taken seriously, and saying Perfection was too high, inviting wariness. Middle-stage was just right.
Chi Yu’s eyes lit up, “Junior Brother truly has excellent talent. With such Cultivation, you will certainly be highly valued by Senior Brother Luo. From now on, you and I should be closer.”
“Of course, and I must thank Senior Brother Chi for the introduction.”
“Hahaha…”
Since learning of Xu Sanyan’s Cultivation, Chi Yu became even more enthusiastic. Although there were more than a dozen people gathered around Senior Brother Luo, most were at the early-stage Foundation Establishment, with only a few at the middle-stage Foundation Establishment.
This time, bringing in another middle-stage Foundation Establishment Cultivator was a great contribution for Chi Yu. Although this move indirectly reduced his own chances of gaining supporters, he wasn’t worried, because he himself was also at middle-stage Foundation Establishment,
and he was also one of the earliest followers of Luo Yu, having made significant contributions. As long as Luo Yu successfully obtains the position of Saint, he will certainly have a place.
While contemplating, they had already arrived at a magnificent hall. Xu Sanyan looked up and saw ten young maidens standing on either side, their faces shyly lowered.
Each was draped in light gauze, covering only key areas, revealing long legs and slender arms. The semi-transparent covering was even more provocative.
Xu Sanyan licked his lips, interest glinting in his eyes. He used his Qi Observation Art to check, and these women were all around early-stage Heavenly Human Realm Cultivation. They were considered Outer Sect Disciples of the Sect, yet they could only stand here to greet guests!
If this were in Great Qi, they would all be pillars of the nation. At the very least, they could become Family heads like the Cui Family. But here, they were no different from maids.
Chi Yu smiled inwardly at the sight. Lustful?
Then it’s easy to handle. The Saint Sect has no shortage of women, he can get any kind he wants, whether it’s Immortal Qi-filled celestial maidens or chivalrous heroines.
Or enchanting demonesses, or pure and lovely commoners; as long as he can imagine it, he can find it!
“Senior Brother Chi, please have a seat. This servant will go inform the master now.” A woman curtsied gracefully, revealing the deep cleavage of her chest.
Hearing her address, Xu Sanyan raised an eyebrow. Master?
Tsk… they know how to play.
“Mm, go ahead.” Chi Yu pulled Xu Sanyan to sit down, leaning in to whisper, “Junior Brother, what kind do you like? Senior Brother will send you a few another day.”
“This… isn’t appropriate, is it?” Xu Sanyan’s smile gradually turned lewd.
“Hehe, Junior Brother, you don’t know this, but those Outer Sect Disciples and Utility Disciples have a hard life. If we need them, there are plenty of women for you to choose from. If you like other tastes, like men…”
Before he could finish, Xu Sanyan quickly stopped him, “No! I like women.”
“Tomorrow, Senior Brother will take you. Whichever one you like, Senior Brother can help you get her. Senior Brother will cover all expenses.” Chi Yu grandly patted his chest, thinking it wouldn’t cost much, just for good relations.
“Thank you, Senior Brother. What kind of expenses are needed?” Xu Sanyan leaned in and asked.
“Nothing much, just give some Spirit Stones to the Outer Sect managing Elder.”
“Then thank you, Senior Brother…”
“Hehehe…”
The two chatted more and more congenially, unable to help but smile at each other, looking as if they had met too late.
Xu Sanyan had no reservations about this. Women, he had always liked them, especially beautiful ones.
He wasn’t picky about styles, whether it was the voluptuous kind like the Chieftain’s Wife, the tall kind like Cui Wanying, or the uninhibited kind like Tang Huanhuan, he could accept them all.
