After the mind-reading cripple junior sister, the entire sect rose to prominence.

Chapter 235 Day 1

Mo Jiuwei's eyes darted around, and she started to hatch a wicked plan.

This isn't a scheme; it's a mutually agreeable arrangement. Didn't you see how excited Lei Dahai was?

“We’re here to recruit disciples we like, not to make money by treating patients,” Chen Lan said deliberately. “If we wanted to make money, why don’t we just open a clinic?”

“Junior Sister Chen is right.” Qi Heng nodded. “We really don’t plan to open a clinic. Instead, we’d like to open a few branches of Xianlaifang in other cities so that it won’t be so crowded when we sell Breakthrough Pills in the future.”

"You want to open a shop? I can help you, really!" Lei Dahai perked up and said excitedly, "Please, please let me stay, or at least let me stay temporarily for observation!"

"What are you saying, child?" Xu Yihan looked at him with a mixture of affection and amusement. "Why would we accept a disciple because of such external things? But considering your sincerity, we'll make an exception and keep you for observation."

By keeping Lei Dahai, the Xianlai Sect would essentially have a "safety net".

With the backing of a wealthy and powerful person, what else could it be but a safety net?
Lei Dahai was overjoyed, and immediately felt both grateful and admiring. "Thank you, Sect Leader!"

In the following time, Xu Yihan and his group continued to interview the disciples who came. Usually, Xu Yihan and his group would finish their selections first, and then Mo Jiuwei would pick out the flaws of a few people and eliminate them as well.

In this way, only the elite remain.

Once the three main halls are full of patients again, Chen Lan will take Mo Jiuwei there to screen the patients.

The first day of recruiting disciples ended, and everyone was exhausted.

To ensure a more orderly process, the selection process will not be conducted at night; it will continue at dawn.

That evening, everyone tallied the number of new members.

On this day, a total of 1405 disciples were accepted, of whom 92 were seriously ill.

Of the 1313 ordinary disciples, 986 are adults, while the rest are children around ten years old.

"We received so many people in just one day, which really exceeded my expectations."

"Haha, that's great! Let's see who dares to say that our Immortal Sect is a small and insignificant sect now!"

"So, in just a few days we can recruit over ten thousand disciples?"

Just before today, the Immortal Sect was sparsely populated and the sect was deserted.

But after only one day, disciples began to move into the previously empty courtyards and caves, and at night, twinkling lights could be seen, and the sect no longer seemed empty and desolate.

"That's not entirely true. The first day had the most people, but the following days might not see the same level of activity." Xu Yihan smiled as well. "Moreover, after one day, our rules for admitting people have become clearer, so the number of people queuing up tomorrow will be much less."

On the first day, many people came just to join in the fun, while others came for the gimmick of the Breakthrough Pill and free medical treatment. Even though the Immortal Sect had stated beforehand that they would consider talent, those people still didn't take it seriously.

However, after that day, many people were driven out just as they had come, and very few people actually stayed.

After seeing this, people outside should understand the situation and won't try their luck anymore.

“Yes, this is our first year recruiting disciples on a large scale. To ensure stability, the number of people should not be too large this time. It should be kept below five thousand.” Liu Feng also said, “With the experience of this day, we can be more efficient in the next few days and avoid being overwhelmed.”

Although Mo Jiuwei was there this time and had done her best to filter out those with wicked intentions, it doesn't mean that all the remaining people are good people with no ulterior motives and pure hearts.

Wherever there are people, there is a social dynamic. With so many people, their eating, drinking, relieving themselves, and cultivating all require a great deal of effort to manage. With fewer than five thousand people, they can manage to keep up with the disciples' needs, as well as their ongoing cultivation and treatment.

But if there were any more, we wouldn't be able to handle it.

"Yes, I'm so busy today I can barely breathe." Lu Lai slumped down, having already gulped down several large cups of tea since she got back.

She was in charge of registering the disciples outside the gate. Some people left obediently after being eliminated, but others threw tantrums and made a ruckus, so loud that people were almost deafened.

Fortunately, Uncle Liu and a few others were on patrol and drove away the troublemakers, but the process was still somewhat complicated.

In the morning, Lu Lai was a gentle female cultivator with a smile on her face, but by evening she was almost as cold as ice.

"Yes, I feel like I've met more people today than I have in the past ten years or so..."

The six maids were also quite exhausted.

Although everyone was tired, they were all in a good mood because the day's experience had been very beneficial for them; at least they were no longer afraid of interacting with people.

"By the way, are the allowances still enough?" Chen Lan asked the Mu brothers.

“We prepared three thousand copies, which is obviously not enough, but I contacted someone this afternoon to purchase a batch, and it will arrive tomorrow,” Mu Xue replied.

Three thousand people—this was the number of disciples everyone had estimated, but unexpectedly, they almost reached half that number on the first day.

We only have enough for one more day at most, so we have to make some purchases.

"That's good."

"We've given our disciples quite a generous allowance, and many were pleasantly surprised when they received it," Mu Xuechu said with a smile.

The Immortal Sect distributes its stipends to its disciples based on their cultivation level. During the Qi Refining stage, each disciple receives ten crystal stones and one bottle of pills per month, plus two sect contribution points.

Twenty Foundation Establishment stage crystals, one bottle of pills, and 5 sect contribution points.

Fifty Golden Core stage crystals, two bottles of pills, and 10 contribution points.

The higher one goes, the higher one becomes, from the Nascent Soul stage onwards.

In terms of crystals and pills, their standards are not very high, similar to other sects, but they have an extra item: contribution points!
Contribution points are essentially the sect's internal crystals, which can be used to exchange items among fellow sect members, or to directly purchase sect items from the mission hall.

In terms of conversion, one contribution point is roughly equal to ten crystals.

Taking the Qi Refining stage as an example, the extra 2 contribution points are equivalent to 20 extra crystals per month!

In addition, the Immortal Sect is more generous than other sects when it comes to elixirs. The elixirs they give to each disciple are the most commonly used ones for their current cultivation stage.

Unlike other sects, which are stingy and only distribute the lowest-grade pills that are not worth much money.

"This is just the beginning. Everything is not yet ready, so we can only give a lower amount," Xu Yihan said with a smile. "Once Du Yue and Hu Jiu bring their disciples out, our sect's allowance will be self-sufficient."

Don't underestimate Du Yue and the others just because their cultivation levels aren't high. Their skill level is definitely not low, after all, they are disciples of Jiu Wei.
