42: Xiaoyao Sect Outer Disciple

"Daoist Sun, I am truly grateful that you were able to bring such good news this time."

"Once the matter is accomplished, I will not forget Fellow Cultivator Zhang's contributions, and I will certainly report them to the Xiaoyao Sect."

Sun Yao understood Zhang Qingxiao's meaning perfectly well, and he promised with a solemn tone.

"I dare not claim credit; I only hope that no accidents occur with this matter."

"Since I have already chosen to join the Xiaoyao Sect, it is only natural that I contribute to the Sect."

Since Sun Yao already understood his intention, it was time to show his stance when it was appropriate to show goodwill.

Regardless of whether what the Li family Foundation Establishment cultivator told him was true or false, the strength of the Xiaoyao Sect was unquestionable.

Given the current situation of the Chang Sheng Sect, it would absolutely be unable to withstand the joint attack of three Sects, and the destruction of the Sect was only a matter of time.

By showing goodwill to the Xiaoyao Sect, even if he didn't gain much benefit later, at least he wouldn't be purged.

When he returned home, Zhou Yun had not yet rested.

She knew what her husband had gone to do tonight, and she felt anxious and fearful until her husband returned, at which point she finally set her mind at ease.

"Husband, was the matter settled?"

After serving her husband as he changed clothes and washed, Zhou Yun asked curiously.

"Mm, it's just about done."

"In the coming period, try to go out as little as possible, you and Liang Qiaoer."

"Tomorrow, tell your father as well, and have him avoid going out during this time."

Zhang Qingxiao had a premonition that the time for the three Sects to attack the Chang Sheng Sect would not be long, and it was very likely to be in the near future.

During this time, it was better for them to stay quiet and keep a low profile.

Once the Xiaoyao Sect took control of the Chang Sheng Sect's territory, he would make further plans.

Late at night, after continuing to explore the "Thirty-Six Styles of Love" with Zhou Yun, the two slept in each other's arms.

The next morning, Zhang Qingxiao first found Luo Fei, told him the general situation from yesterday, and urged him not to get involved in the Li Family's affairs.

At the same time, he should remain calm and low-key during this period, properly constrain his subordinates, and absolutely avoid causing trouble.

Luo Fei took Zhang Qingxiao's instructions to heart, and after Zhang Qingxiao left, he immediately began to make arrangements.

After a period of development, the area nearby managed by Luo Fei had much better order than the areas where other Utility Disciples lived.

During the day, one basically never saw Cultivators committing violence in the streets.

This made the nearby Utility Disciples hold Luo Fei in high regard.

That evening, Sun Yao reported the matter of the Li family Foundation Establishment cultivator intending to join the Xiaoyao Sect to the Sect Elder via a Sound Transmission Talisman.

The Xiaoyao Sect attached great importance to the Li family Foundation Establishment cultivator and sent a Foundation Establishment Stage Fifth Level Cultivator to negotiate that very day.

After agreeing on a time and place, both sides reached a consensus very smoothly.

When the Xiaoyao Sect attacked the Chang Sheng Sect, the Li family Foundation Establishment cultivator would take the Family Disciples and shut down the Sect's defensive formation.

At the same time, before the attack, he would do his best to ferret out the Disciples of the Guiyuan Sect and the Wind and Thunder Sect lurking within the Chang Sheng Sect.

Of course, the Li family Foundation Establishment cultivator was taking a huge risk to do these things, and the rewards he would receive were also significant.

After conquering the Chang Sheng Sect, the Xiaoyao Sect promised to give the Li Family three spots for Core Disciples and ten spots for Inner Sect Disciples.

In addition, they would give the Li family Foundation Establishment cultivator a Foundation Replenishing Pill to restore his damaged Foundation.

After the Xiaoyao Sect Elder reached an agreement with the Li family Foundation Establishment cultivator, Sun Yao also received many benefits.

The next day, Sun Yao personally came to Zhang Qingxiao's home.

"Fellow Cultivator Zhang, congratulations, congratulations."

After entering Zhang Qingxiao's home and sitting down, Sun Yao immediately offered his congratulations.

"Daoist Sun, what is this joy for?"

Zhang Qingxiao looked at Sun Yao, somewhat confused.

"Elder Li has already reached a consensus with our Xiaoyao Sect's Elder Wu and is willing to join the Xiaoyao Sect."

"For this matter, Fellow Cultivator Zhang has made an indelible contribution. Elder Wu has already stated that once the Xiaoyao Sect successfully controls the Chang Sheng Sect, he will have Fellow Cultivator Zhang and Fellow Daoist Luo become Outer Sect Disciples of our Xiaoyao Sect."

"..."

Worried that Zhang Qingxiao did not understand the benefits of becoming an Outer Sect Disciple of the Xiaoyao Sect, Sun Yao detailed the benefits that an Outer Sect Disciple could enjoy.

Outer Sect Disciples of the Xiaoyao Sect could receive corresponding Spirit Stones every month.

The higher the Realm, the more Spirit Stones received.

Zhang Qingxiao was currently at the Qi Refining Stage Sixth Level, so he could receive six Low-Grade Spirit Stones every month. Once he broke through to the Qi Refining Stage Seventh Level, he would be able to receive seven Spirit Stones per month.

Besides Spirit Stones, he could also obtain a place of residence within the Xiaoyao Sect's mountain gate, where the Spiritual Qi was much richer than where the Utility Disciples lived.

With abundant Spiritual Qi, the speed of cultivation could be correspondingly increased, and at the same time, various medicinal herbs could be planted in the courtyard.

"Many thanks to Daoist Sun for speaking well of me in front of Elder Wu."

"I wonder if an Outer Sect Disciple can bring their Family to live within the mountain gate?"

Zhang Qingxiao stood up, cupped his hands, thanked him politely, and then asked.

Being able to live in a place with abundant Spiritual Qi, he certainly wouldn't want to live in a place where Spiritual Qi was thin like the Utility Disciples' area.

Furthermore, it was much safer inside the mountain gate than where the Utility Disciples lived.

He could also collect a fixed amount of Spirit Stones every month for cultivation; only a fool wouldn't go.

It was just that he had gotten used to having Zhou Yun and Liang Qiaoer by his side, and he certainly didn't want to separate from them unless absolutely necessary.

"Of course you can, but there will be certain restrictions on Family members."

"It is not advisable to bring too many; the number of Family members an Outer Sect Disciple can bring cannot exceed two."

"If it exceeds that, you need to register with the Sect and pay a certain amount of Spirit Stones every month."

Outer Sect Disciples were already considered true Disciples of the Sect, and Sect management was relatively strict.

Of course, this was only aimed at ordinary Outer Sect Disciples, and if there was a Foundation Establishment Elder in the Family, the restrictions would be much fewer.

In general, the families of Foundation Establishment Elders would mostly stay in the area where Outer Sect Disciples lived.

Only the closest Family members would live with the Foundation Establishment Elder near the Sect's Spiritual Vein.

Similarly, the families of Foundation Establishment Stage Elders living with the Foundation Establishment Elder in the residence allocated by the Sect would also have various restrictions.

"Many thanks to Daoist Sun for clarifying."

Zhang Qingxiao cupped his hands and thanked him again.

The treatment of the Xiaoyao Sect's Outer Sect Disciples was about the same as the Chang Sheng Sect, with nothing special.

Since he could live with his Family, even if he had to pay some Spirit Stones every month, he was willing.

With his abilities, he could easily earn a dozen or so Medium-Grade Spirit Stones a month, and after paying these few Spirit Stones, he could still live a comfortable and pleasant life.

After seeing Sun Yao off, Zhang Qingxiao joyfully called Liang Qiaoer and Zhou Yun over.

He shared the good news he had just received with the two of them.

"Husband, can you really become an Outer Sect Disciple of the Xiaoyao Sect?"

"I have heard that the Spiritual Qi in the area where the Chang Sheng Sect's Outer Sect Disciples live is much richer than where we Utility Disciples live."

"Those offspring of Foundation Establishment Elders are all able to Cultivate to the Late Stage of Qi Refining because they live in the area where Outer Sect Disciples live."

Zhou Yun often heard about Outer Sect Disciples from her father, and now that she heard this news, she appeared even more excited.
