The disciples without a master all wanted to try their luck, and after Fang Ruotang finished speaking, she led her people away, so the disciples present dispersed.

Fang Ruotang knew that the elders were waiting for her in the council hall, so she didn't rush back to her residence. She decided to go to the council hall to discuss this matter.

"The most basic requirement for inner disciples is that they have already reached the Foundation Establishment stage, and some have even broken through to the Golden Core stage. They are already capable of taking on disciples. Is it inappropriate for us to take them on as well?"

Jiang Wangzhou raised objections.

Disciples at this stage no longer need their masters to teach them anything.

Some of the most powerful may have even comprehended the Dao.

Although they are extremely rare, it doesn't mean that such geniuses don't exist at all.

Comprehending the Dao Heart and Sword Heart is simply a matter of chance, unrelated to cultivation level or realm.

"Oh? Is it not good? But I've already told them." Fang Ruotang looked regretful, wishing she hadn't made that boast.

Yuan Zhao glanced at Jiang Wangzhou and said with a light smile, "There's nothing wrong with that. Since the sect leader has said so, why shouldn't we take on a few disciples?"

Lu Jiangting chimed in, "I can also take on one or two disciples."

Luo Zhan thought for a while and said, "I am currently mainly responsible for the young disciples who have just entered the sect. If the inner disciples don't mind me, I can also take one or two in."

“Me too!” Ling Zheng echoed.

Qin Hongyan didn't say anything, but he nodded, indicating that he could take on suitable disciples if he found one.

Only Wen Yi hesitated for a moment, then said with a troubled expression, "Sect Master, you know the situation of my disciples. I may not be suitable to take on any more disciples right now."

Fang Ruotang immediately expressed her understanding.

Jiang Wangzhou rolled his eyes. "You guys just keep spoiling her!"

"Alright, alright, I'll accept it too! But I think instead of us accepting disciples, it would be better to let disciples above the Golden Core stage accept disciples, preferably the original disciples of the Heavenly One Sect."

Fang Ruotang's eyes lit up, and she nodded vigorously at Jiang Wangzhou.

"That's a great idea!"

"What's wrong with that? In the sect, only the original disciples of Tianyi Sect are at the Qi Refining stage, so they are the only ones we can accept."

Lu Jiangting's straightforwardness earned him a disdainful look from Fang Ruotang.

Seeing that things were settled, Du Zhong said, "I'll also contact Medicine King Valley and have the elders who want to take on disciples come over."

"OK!"

"Should we have disciples at the Golden Core stage or above recruit outer disciples?"

"want!"

Fang Ruotang praised Jiang Wangzhou with a loud voice and a smile.

"You are truly a genius! The entire sect is now completely integrated! This is truly amazing."

Jiang Wangzhou couldn't keep his expression in check and burst into laughter.

Fang Ruotang smiled and brought up the matter of finding a suitable match for the sect disciples. No one objected to this, but several elders couldn't help but laugh and tease her.

"Disciples who join our Tianyi Sect are truly blessed. We even help them with their lifelong affairs. In fact, this will be a big selling point when the sect recruits new members next time."

A group of people started discussing it.

Originally, everyone had gathered here because of the merger of the Cloud Sword Sect, but in the end, not only was the Cloud Sword Sect not mentioned at all, but even the Old Ancestor Yan Yun didn't get a chance to speak before the gathering ended.

Only after everyone had gone home did Jiang Wangzhou, who had been the most worried, slap his thigh in relief.

"bad thing!"

Then, he left the house grumbling.

This time, they learned their lesson and didn't contact Fang Ruotang; instead, they went directly to Jin Wuyou to coordinate.

Upon returning to her residence, Fang Ruotang saw Shen Shi'an waiting in front of her courtyard gate.

Her courtyard was protected by a formation, making it impossible for ordinary people to enter. Moreover, those who dared to trespass would be blasted away by the golden light of the formation.

This is a basic technique for cultivators. Many private territories within the sect have such protective formations, especially the Scripture Pavilion.

Today, the Tianyi Sect is no longer penniless.

With several sects joining forces, the number of cultivation techniques in the Scripture Pavilion was immense. Moreover, Fang Ruotang even allowed Gu Yanjin and the other six to occasionally check for any omissions or gaps in their knowledge.

It wouldn't be good if there wasn't a single cultivation technique from the Tianyi Sect in the library, would it?

However, the techniques copied from Xiao Jingzi were never of inferior quality. Therefore, the Tianyi Sect's cultivation methods are all placed on the top floor of the Scripture Pavilion, and have not yet been opened to disciples.

"What are you doing here?" Fang Ruotang's eyes darted around.

Just as he was about to strike first, Shen Shi'an thanked him first.

Fang Ruotang's expression changed and she didn't immediately regain it, looking at him in surprise.

"Thank me?"

"Yes! If it weren't for you, I would be crippled."

"Oh, good that you know! Now you're my fourth sister's furnace, you'd better behave yourself, or I won't let you off the hook."

After making those harsh words, Fang Ruotang felt it wasn't quite right. After all, dual cultivation is best done with mutual consent, just like the relationship between her older sister and brother-in-law.

“However, if you cooperate honestly, you will definitely get your share of the rewards!” Fang Ruotang looked Shen Shi’an up and down and said, “You have already reached the Foundation Establishment stage.”

"Yes! Thank you for the reward."

"No need to thank me. The Foundation Establishment Pill was given to you by my fourth sister. You should listen to her and not take advantage of her good nature to bully her. I will be watching you. If I find out that you have bullied my fourth sister, I will not let you off."

Fang Ruotang rambled on and on, spouting a bunch of harsh words.

Shen Shi'an was a little dazed. That woman with a gentle smile but a deep mind, was she good-natured?

"I'm talking to you! What are you thinking about!" Fang Ruotang was displeased with Shen Shi'an Hunyou, who clearly didn't take her words to heart.

Shen Shi'an's expression was complicated and strange. "None of the girls in your Fang family are easy to deal with!"

After saying that, he left without looking back.

Fang Ruotang was stunned, blinked, and didn't understand.

[Little Mirror, what does he mean? It doesn't sound like something nice to me.]

[It was probably your eldest sister or third sister who had a deep conversation with him before you!]

Fang Ruotang understood and laughed.

"Oh, I see! Then I'm relieved. With Big Sister here, even if Shen Shi'an has some ulterior motives, she won't be able to cause any trouble! It's just that Fourth Sister is too soft-hearted; I'm really worried she'll be bullied."

[...]

The little mirror looked at the scene in the retrospective mirror with confusion, and choked.

I hesitated a bit about whether to show it to Fang Ruotang.

This is, after all, too damaging to Fang Wantang's image in Fang Ruotang's mind.

This gentle and kind older sister actually harbors a sadistic side; she actually likes...

Tsk!

The little mirror closed its eyes and shoved the contents of the retrospective mirror directly in front of Fang Ruotang.

Fang Ruotang's pupils slowly dilated, she was completely stunned, then her face gradually turned red, and finally white smoke rose from the top of her head.

[This, me, her, no! Is this right?]

"Well, that's the gist of it. Don't worry too much about your fourth sister. Instead of wasting your time, why don't you find her two more potential partners? I'm afraid this one won't be able to handle her!"
