Outer disciples are provided with room and board and receive 6000 low-grade spirit stones every year. After passing through the forest at the foot of the mountain, they can walk ten miles east to reach a village. There is a Xu family business there, which can be described as the richest family in the Central Plains. It has a wide range of businesses and can also exchange spirit stones there.

Within the sect, rosy light swirled and spiritual energy permeated the air. Senior brothers and sisters dressed in the same outer sect disciple robes passed by, none of them much older than you, and they greeted Wei Zhiying and the other newly initiated junior brothers and sisters with smiles.

Wei Zhiying and the others followed the enforcement team all the way in. Along the way, the senior brothers and sisters of the enforcement team introduced the Sutra Repository, the Martial Arts Training Ground, the Five Grains Hall, and the Peach Blossom Academy. Behind the academy was a small medicinal garden, which was provided for disciples who chose to study alchemy. Outer disciples could also choose to study talismans or weapon crafting, etc., so that they could find their desired direction after entering the inner sect.

Passing by a bustling area, the captain of the enforcement team pointed over there: "That's the outer sect disciples' market. You can buy pills, talismans, or materials for sword maintenance here, up to the Foundation Establishment stage. It's open in the middle and at the end of each month; otherwise, it's usually deserted."

The group followed the enforcement team to the mission hall, where they received their own new clothes and a beginner-level storage bag. Inside the storage bag were 6000 low-grade spirit stones for the entire year and a thick book.

Wei Zhiying had initially thought that not many children could read, since the oldest of these ten newcomers was only seven years old. Wei Zhiying herself had learned to read because her mother had taught her and her sister when they were young. They had already completed their early education by drawing characters in the sand with sticks and studying the "Three Character Classic" and the "Thousand Character Classic."

What Wei Zhiying didn't expect was that all the other children could read. Even Xu Tianci, the youngest of the children, Xu Ruosheng's younger brother, a chubby little boy with bright black eyes, wearing a bright red brocade robe and a gold-inlaid jade necklace, who looked like a lucky doll, could stutter and read the words on the thick book: "Guiyi Sect... Complete Rules and Regulations?"

Wei Zhiying's lips twitched, speechless at her own thoughts. Even in her previous life, children started kindergarten at the age of three. How could children from wealthy families not start their education early?

While distributing the initiation gift packs, the enforcement disciples announced, "The families of the Wei siblings and the Xu brothers have already settled in the town under the sect's jurisdiction. They can return home to visit them during their days off." Then, the enforcement captain looked at the newly arrived disciples and said, "I am the captain of the third team of the Enforcement Hall. My surname is Yun, and my given name is Ye Hong. I mainly patrol the outer sect, with teams taking turns patrolling morning, noon, and evening. I originally thought some of you hadn't yet received your formal education, but judging from this… you should all be able to read, right?"

As he spoke, Yun Yehong looked around. Everyone who met Yun Yehong's gaze nodded subconsciously. Only when his gaze fell on Leng Yue did Leng Yue shrink back and lower her head. Because she did not receive a response, Yun Yehong kept looking at her. Soon, Leng Yue's shoulders began to tremble uncontrollably. The senior sister of the enforcement team squatted down and patiently coaxed Leng Yue, asking her several times before confirming that Leng Yue could read.

"Each of you will be assigned a senior brother or sister who has spent more than a year outside the sect as your accommodation. They will remind you of some things, since you are only beginners and your literacy is probably limited." After Yun Yehong finished speaking, he raised his hand, and a map appeared on the task board in front of the task hall: "This is your group's accommodation, Yunyin Lodge. There should be quite a few twins among you."

Wei Zhiying noticed the gaze and looked up to see Senior Brother Yun glancing at her and her sister before turning his gaze to the pair of twin princesses beside them.

"There are nine rooms in total, all of them are independent cottages, sharing a front and back yard. Each cottage has a different environment. Two of them are specifically for twins, so you can stay in one room, but for the others, boys and girls will be separated." Yun Yehong's gaze returned to Wei Zhiying: "In addition, boys and girls are not allowed to sit together after the age of seven. If you are not able to enter the inner sect before the age of seven, then you will need to be reassigned to a dormitory."

The scenes depict tranquil bamboo grove dormitories, idyllic dormitories filled with wisteria blossoms, dormitories shrouded in mist as if on a mountaintop, and dormitories where spring reigns all year round. Undoubtedly, all of these have been subjected to unknown magic.

The enforcement team leader let Wei Zhiying and others choose the environment they wanted first.

Wei Zhiying and her sister both chose a room with a river and evergreen trees all year round. The room was made of the finest green bamboo and fully furnished.

"How's it, sister? How's the environment? It's by the water, quiet and safe." Wei Zhiying stretched. Wei Lanyin nodded repeatedly. Every room here was a hundred times better than their old home. It didn't matter where they lived, as long as they were with their younger brother.

Seeing that everyone had finished making their selections, Yun Yehong raised his hand, and the task list reappeared: "If anyone is short of money, you can take on tasks here. Don't worry, they are all tasks that your age group can handle. Classes will be held at Peach Blossom Academy, where boys and girls can study together. After all, the Guiyi Sect is not rigid. Boys and girls do not sit together after the age of seven. During class, each person has their own seat and will not share the same straw mat."
