Building a sect from scratch.

Chapter 82: She gave so much.
Baili Shuang explained, "We should have established our own sect in the first place, but we were worried that without good allies, it would be difficult to gain a foothold. So we sought protection under the Guangcheng Sect. But now that we have the Guangcheng Sect and the Chiyuan Cave, we can stand firm."

These words were not spoken to Zhao Qing, but rather relayed through Zhao Qing to someone higher up.

Zhao Qing understood, and hurriedly saved a screenshot of the NPC chat history. She didn't discuss the topic further, but asked with doubt, "But isn't the sect's headquarters under the jurisdiction of Guangcheng Sect? If we become Taiyin Sect, does that mean we're taking over Guangcheng Sect's territory? Would they be willing to do that?"

“The Taiyin Sect has already ‘bought’ the land it occupies from the Guangcheng Sect,” Baili Shuang said. “However, you’re right, the sect’s headquarters can’t be in that location, so after the sect is established, a new headquarters will be built.”

Zhao Qing's eyes lit up, and she shamelessly asked, "Where is it located? Can you tell me?"

Baili Shuang winked at Zhao Qing with a rare liveliness: "It's a secret, just check the update announcement later!"

"!!!"

Zhao Qing stared in shock, then immediately messaged Wang Ergou, who was waiting to be resurrected in the dark room: "Ergou! Baili Shuang really knows the inside story! She said we're going to change our sect into a clan and build a new sect headquarters. When I asked where it was, she actually told me to look at the update announcement!"

But Wang Ergou's focus was a little off: "Holy crap!? Another update!?"

"?"

Zhao Qing had just typed a question mark when Wang Ergou sent her another private message: "There's no announcement on the official website?"

"That's what my senior sister said anyway!"

Although Wang Ergou kept mentioning the game update, he was very clear about what was important. He immediately replied, "Then I'll log off first and find Aunt Wang to summarize the information. Send me the NPC chat logs first, and remember to keep all the important screenshots!"

"Ok!"

Just as Wang Ergou's profile picture went black in her friend list, Zhao Qing heard a soft, delicate voice coming from beside her feet.

"May I ask if you two fellow Daoists are from the Taiyin Sect?"

The two looked down and saw a handsome young man emerging from the ground, his head and half his body sticking out. The scene looked like something out of a ghost movie, and it was quite eerie.

Zhao Qing was startled and instinctively took several steps back, narrowly avoiding tripping over herself.

The boy struggled to pull himself out, and Baili Shuang and Zhao Qing then saw that he had crawled out of a hole.

The boy was holding a fluffy white ball in his arms, and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, the demonic energy over there was too strong just now. I couldn't breathe on the surface, so I had to burrow underground to hide!"

Baili Shuang said, "Fellow Daoist, you are too kind. We are indeed disciples of the Taiyin Sect. My name is Baili Shuang, and this is my junior sister."

“Excellent! I am a demon cultivator from Xizhuqiu, named Jinli. I have a puppy here that seems to belong to a disciple of your Taiyin Sect, and I was just thinking of returning it to its rightful owner!”

As the boy spoke, he handed the trembling white fur ball in his arms to the two of them.

As the first pet among all players on the server, and owned by a famous lucky newbie player in Chang'an Sheyi, Zhao Qing immediately recognized it.

"Chinese cabbage!"

"You really do recognize it!"

Jin Li smiled and turned the cabbage in her arms so that it faced Bai Li Shuang and Zhao Qing.

As soon as Bai Cai saw Zhao Qing, she put her nose close to Zhao Qing and sniffed her. She then whimpered and threw herself into Zhao Qing's arms, her voice sounding very aggrieved.

Jin Li explained, "When I encountered it, I was being chased by a little fox demon, and my internal organs were injured. Fortunately, I received timely treatment."

While stroking Bai Cai's dog head, Zhao Qing said gratefully, "Thank you! This is my...my niece's dog. I'll definitely have a good talk with her when I get back. Why did she take this little thing running around like that! It's so dangerous!"

Jin Li nodded and said, "It hasn't developed intelligence or spiritual awareness yet, so we should be careful."

Baili Shuang suddenly said, "Junior sister, why don't you take the cabbage back first, so its owner won't worry? I'll keep an eye on things here."

Zhao Qing glanced at Baili Shuang, whose expression seemed no different from usual, and then at Jin Li, who showed no unusual behavior either. She could only obediently agree and resignedly carry the cabbage, riding the wind. Once Zhao Qing was far away, Baili Shuang said to Jin Li, "Fellow Daoist, Xizhu Hill isn't very big. Would you be willing to move to a place with more abundant spiritual energy and a safer environment?"

Jin Li shook her head warily: "Let's forget it. Although Xizhuqiu is small, I have lived here for hundreds of years and I am used to it."

“If you are reluctant to part with Xizhu Hill, you can move the entire Xizhu Hill to our sect.”

Jin Li asked curiously, "Isn't Xizhuqiu now under the jurisdiction of Guangcheng Sect?"

Baili Shuang smiled and explained, "I was referring to the Taiyin Sect."

Jin Li exclaimed in surprise, "Taiyin Sect? You..."

"We have received the grace of the Goddess Taiyin, so how could we remain subservient to others for long? We have been preparing to change our sect and become a clan for some time now."

Jin Li asked incredulously, "Changed from a sect to a clan?! Fellow Daoist, I heard that your sect was only established not long ago?"

"Before, we had no choice but to be subordinate to others. The Taiyin Sect was founded by the Taiyin Goddess and took place here after many twists and turns. Now that we are on good terms with the Guangcheng Sect and the Chiyuan Cave, it is not surprising that we have changed our sect to a sect."

"The Moon Goddess?"

Jin Li's expression turned solemn, and he almost impolitely pressed, "The Taiyin Sect was founded by the Taiyin Goddess, is that really true!?"

Taiyin refers to the moon.

The moon is extremely important to demon cultivators. Almost all demon cultivators who unknowingly embark on the path of cultivation do so by worshipping the moon to awaken their spirits.

However, demon cultivators do not pay much attention to incense offerings, so although most of them worship the Moon Goddess, they do not worship the Moon Goddess.

Of course, this doesn't mean they don't recognize the God of the Moon. On the contrary, demon cultivators have a natural affinity for the God of the Moon. After all, even great demons who have cultivated for thousands of years often worship the moon and pay homage to the Moon.

"If it wasn't founded by the Goddess of the Moon, how dare we call ourselves the 'Moon Sect'? Moreover, after the sect was transformed into a sect, each disciple can receive a Moon Essence every month. This is something that ordinary cultivators cannot easily condense. Only our Moon Sect, which is bestowed by the Goddess, can do so."

"The essence of Taiyin..."

"If you still don't believe me, when my Taiyin Sect holds its grand ceremony, we will also invite Guangcheng Sect and Chiyuan Cave. If you are interested, you are welcome to come and witness the ceremony."

“With Guangcheng Sect and Chiyuan Cave as guarantors, how could I not believe them?” Jin Li paused for a moment before slowly saying, “It’s just that I am a Golden-haired Bamboo Fox who has cultivated to this body. There are still some juniors. I’m afraid that these short-sighted people will be panicked and unable to cultivate in the cultivator sects.”

"Fellow Daoist's deep love for his nephews and nieces is truly admirable," Baili Shuang smiled and added, "Ten. For someone of your cultivation level, if you hold a position within the sect and occasionally teach the disciples, you would receive at least ten Taiyin Essence per month."

"Fellow Daoist, you misunderstand. It's not that I'm complaining about the low salary..."

"Performance bonuses and other bonuses are calculated separately, and there is triple pay during holidays."

"Fellow Daoist, this..."

"The sect provides accommodation, the public kitchen provides free meals and drinks, and there are also subsidies for various rare items such as spiritual springs and elixirs."

"Ugh……"

"Oh, by the way, your children and nephews can also join the sect to do some odd jobs. The salary will vary depending on the position, but the benefits will be the same as yours, with all kinds of subsidies and benefits."

"make a deal!"

Jin Li swallowed hard and asked, "Excuse me... cough, does the Taiyin Sect's kitchen provide milk tea?"
