Inheriting A Divine Cultivation Clan At The Start, All My Juniors Are Empresses

Chapter 1355: Chapter 362: Yuan Xuan Likes Gold (3)

”When a class is disbanded, there’s always something like a class album. But when such a huge sect dissolves, it turns out there’s no follow‑up contact at all between people?”

”The disciples said that once they parted ways, they just parted ways.”

”It’s like they didn’t care at all about any so‑called ’Senior Brother, Senior Sister, Junior Brother, Junior Sister, I can’t bear to leave you’ kind of situation.”

So when Yuchi started handling the dissolution procedures, such a big sect was wrapped up in just half a month.

The entire sect was cleaned out, not a single loose end left. It was like all the other disciples had already lined up their next home ahead of time and just walked off.

”So my initial judgment about Ascension Gate wasn’t wrong. I didn’t go public and recruit a bunch of disciples just because I lacked manpower.”

”This kind of disciple has very low stickiness to the sect itself. Once danger arises in the sect, or a problem appears, you fundamentally can’t count on them to step up and help at a critical moment.”

”So no matter how many of this type you have, they’re not of much use. They can earn money for this sect, and they can just as easily earn money for another sect. The instant the sect runs into trouble, they choose to walk away.”

Is that wrong?

Of course it isn’t. Everyone was strangers to begin with, only gathered in the end because of cultivation and money. That kind of bond forms fast and disperses fast. Especially when you start mass‑recruiting disciples like that: disciples don’t even know who the others really are, not to mention all the little schemes between the elders themselves.

Yuchi noticed that many disciples simply left together with their elders, apparently planning to set up a new sect with them—starting everything over again.

You really can’t have too many people in a sect.

For Ascension Gate, I have to know the situation of every single disciple, and each disciple needs to have many connections to the others. Otherwise, if I just wanted to make the sect huge, I could’ve done so long ago—but there’s no need.

And now there are only a few days left before New Year. In these few days I’ll go back to Jiangnan, see how things are developing there, then set specific plans for next year based on future trends. At the same time, I’ll have Yuan’Er and the others come over to Ascension Gate to celebrate the New Year.

”Mm.”

”Not bad.”

”Let’s stick to this pace. It’s a bit slow, but overall the results are solid.”

...

Before that, Yuchi first returned to Ascension Gate, mainly to tell Yuan Xuan what had happened with the sect.

Now, sitting with her by the corridor along the Martial Arts Arena in Ascension Gate, Yuchi laughed and said, ”Things over at your old sect have been taken care of for you. You’ve been at Ascension Gate for half a month now—only half a month—do you have any questions you want to ask me?”

Yuan Xuan shook her head. She had already changed into Ascension Gate’s lapis‑blue long dress, her cheeks flushed with excitement. ”No questions!”

”During this period, the senior sisters have already explained how Ascension Gate works, so I know what I should do. So, Sect Leader Senior Brother, why don’t you pick a time, and I’ll get ready, carefully ask Senior Sister Qingzhu what I should do, and then let you be satisfied, just once!”

Her face turned red, but it was filled with firm resolve.

”Uh.”

Satisfied once? What’s that supposed to mean?

Yuchi didn’t get it, but he didn’t pursue it. He just kept smiling and said, ”As long as you don’t have problems, that’s fine. Keep cultivating in the sect. If you really run into something you don’t understand, just contact me through the Immortal Stone.”

”Mm!”

Yuan Xuan looked straight at Yuchi, her eyes brimming with eager expectation.

After half a month of cultivation, Yuan Xuan already understood Ascension Gate very, very well.

Mainly, there were three points.

First: the disciples of Ascension Gate—each one has an impressive background. Some came from the State Capital, some used to be Sect Leaders of other sects, some have incredibly high talent, some have very deep cultivation. But none of that matters as much as the personalities of these senior sisters. Each one’s personality can only be described as flawless. To a junior sister like her who just joined the sect, they didn’t harbor even the tiniest bit of malice toward her!

Second: the density of Spiritual Qi in Ascension Gate is outrageous. She has no idea what sort of Spiritual Qi‑enhancing grand array Ascension Gate is using, but the Qi concentration has reached an unimaginable level. Cultivating here is dozens of times faster than normally taking Elixirs—truly dozens of times, not an exaggeration at all. And the strain during cultivation is minimal, while her Spirit Root is continuously improving!

Third: the Treasure Storage Tower of Ascension Gate. There’s just too much stuff inside. Elixirs she’d heard of, and ones she’d never even heard of before—they’re all available for purchase in the Treasure Storage Tower. She even tried requesting one Elixir, and it didn’t even take two breaths before it was in her hands. Not to mention all the Secret Manuals simply laid out in the Treasure Storage Tower. Those things are what every Sect Leader dreams of!

From these three points, you can deduce an even clearer conclusion: the current Sect Leader Senior Brother is deeply loved by far too many disciples. His status in the sect has already far surpassed what a Sect Leader Senior Brother ought to have.

This is attachment!!!

Enough said... Sect Leader Senior Brother!!!

So strong!!!

Just then, Yuchi took out a Storage Ring and, under Yuan Xuan’s curious gaze, handed it to her. ”Everything inside this Storage Ring is your old personal belongings. I saw some of your clothes piled in a corner, so I helped wash them for you. Take a look—none of your clothes should be missing.”

Yuan Xuan: ”...”

Her face instantly burned, her head buzzing.

She had completely forgotten about that—forgotten she still had loads of personal items in the training room and next to it... And for a woman who’s lived thousands of years, there’s inevitably going to be some... special things.

Did he find them?

No, please no.

No, please no.

”Did Sect Leader Senior Brother figure out that I like reading court gazettes? I’ve got tons of them over there!”

”And then there are some limited‑edition items.”

”Illustrations, author‑signed special editions... just way too many.”

It wasn’t hard to imagine—only, the more she thought about it, the more mortified she felt. Showing your special hobbies in front of a member of the opposite sex isn’t something everyone can just casually endure! And these things are loaded with intensely personal flavor!

And then all those different outfits—she made each of them herself, and the styles are... rather special...

Ah!

No!

I want to die!

Yuchi looked at her with a teasing expression.

”It’s fine. Learn to share that kind of material.”

”I’ve prepared some books for you too. You can read them when you’re free. They’re written by authors from the major cities in this region, and I think they’re pretty good. Full of all sorts of interesting plots inside.”

”Heh heh.”

After speaking.

Yuchi lightly patted her shoulder, leaving her with a meaningful look—everything left unsaid but understood.

It’s understandable. After all, we’re not talking one or two years; it’s thousands of years.

Thousands of years with no Dao companion, no messy entanglements. In the end, being alone like that, you’re bound to feel a bit lonely.

So buying this kind of book to read is perfectly normal. Besides, these books are all publicly sold, nothing illegal about them. It’s just that when he flipped through the contents roughly—

There were even annotations...

Impressive.

Live and learn till you’re old!
