Yangjia Village.

Huang Sicong just spent a million to buy a small courtyard and also promised to help renovate the village's ancestral hall.

Seeing how cooperative the boy was, Yang Youcai went to his granddaughter to inquire and learned that the Xiaoyao Sect had internal recommendation quotas for disciples, so he asked his granddaughter to reserve one for him.

"Young Huang, you've hit the jackpot! My granddaughter still has a spot available through internal referrals at the Xiaoyao Sect." Yang Youcai came to find Huang Sicong after getting his granddaughter's approval.

Huang Sicong's eyes lit up, and he grinned from ear to ear, exclaiming, "Really? That's wonderful!"

Yang Youcai rubbed his hands together and said, "As for this money?"

Huang Sicong said generously, "Village Chief, I'll transfer 1 million to you right now, how about it?"

Yang Youcai was so pleased with himself that he nodded repeatedly, skillfully took out his bank card, and told Huang Sicong the card number.

That day, the village chief handed Huang Sicong over to his granddaughter. Looking at the extra zeros in his bank card, he hummed a little tune and leisurely went home, planning to have a couple of ounces of meat tonight.

And so, Huang Sicong was found to have dual spiritual roots in earth and wood, successfully entered the sect, and awaited the sect competition a month later.

A few days later, the construction of the sect in Dongshan was also completed.

Jiang Wanwan arrived at the huge rectangular square in Dongshan. She looked up at the magnificent, antique buildings in front of her and couldn't help but exclaim, "Beautiful!"

These buildings are not only magnificent, but also unique in style, as if each one has its own story and soul.

Entering from the entrance of the huge rectangular plaza, there is a rainbow-colored passage leading directly to the high platform, with a circular martial arts arena with a red platform on each side in the middle of the passage.

On the octagonal platform, many exquisitely carved golden chairs were placed, clearly for the convenience of the audience and the sect elders to sit.

Above the high platform lies the main hall of the Xiaoyao Sect, towering into the clouds, majestic and awe-inspiring.

Next to the main hall, there are several small hills, on which stand small side halls, arranged in a pleasing and unique way.

At this moment, Elder Xia also ran out of the space, excitedly looking around. He kept praising it, and his mood seemed quite excited.

"Sister, you're here!" Jiang Beixing's voice came from afar. He was seen leading Shi Mei slowly walking from the main hall. Then, Jiang Beixing began to introduce the function of each building to Jiang Wanwan one by one.

The main hall contains facilities such as the sect hall, council hall, library, body-refining room, martial arts hall, alchemy room, weapon-refining room, and feng shui building.

The palaces scattered across the various hilltops were specially prepared for inner disciples and personal disciples.

One of the palaces was built specifically for the sect leader and is called Cloud and Mist Pavilion, a name full of poetry and mystery.

As Jiang Beixing explained, Jiang Wanwan gained a deeper understanding of Yunwu Pavilion.

It has pavilions, practice rooms, rest rooms, gardens, and more, making it quite modern in function.

"Where are my dad and the others?" After Jiang Wanwan went up Dongshan, she only saw some disciples cultivating and did not find any other members of the Jiang family joining in the fun.

Jiang Beixing, holding Shi Mei's hand, said, "My second uncle and aunt, along with my grandparents, have come down the mountain. They said they want Master Wang to design the guesthouses in the village properly."

Jiang Wanwan nodded, then called Jiang Qinian and asked him to bring the 120 special forces soldiers to report for duty.

Soon, Jiang Qinian gathered a hundred special forces soldiers in the square. These soldiers were indispensable to the rapid construction of the Xiaoyao Sect.

After lining up the ranks, Jiang Qinian reported loudly.

"Reporting to the commander, 120 men were expected, and 120 men are present!"

Jiang Wanwan nodded in satisfaction, then cleared her throat and said, "First of all, I would like to express my special thanks to everyone for your contributions to the Xiaoyao Sect over the past week. Next, please have those with spiritual roots step forward and stand on your right."

Soon, the team was divided into two columns, with 93 people having spiritual roots and 27 people without spiritual roots.

Looking at the solemn and orderly crowd below, Jiang Wanwan couldn't help but feel gratified.

She spoke again: "Those with spiritual roots can go to the library in the main hall of the Xiaoyao Sect to receive a cultivation technique that matches their spiritual roots. Those without spiritual roots can go to the body-refining room in the main hall for body-refining training, where corresponding cultivation techniques are also provided for your reference. I hope everyone will cultivate diligently and improve their strength."

At this moment, Elder Xia emerged from the space. He looked curiously at the crowd below, who were behaving in an orderly manner, his eyes filled with admiration.

He kept exclaiming, "These are all excellent talents. How wonderful it would be if they could join our Free and Unfettered Sect!"

Jiang Wanwan silently transmitted her voice to Elder Xia: "It's not entirely impossible. At the very least, that kid Jiang Qinian will definitely stay in the Xiaoyao Sect."

Looking at the special forces soldiers before her, Jiang Wanwan said with a firm and expectant gaze, "You all must cultivate diligently to prepare for the possible future crisis on Blue Star. If you have any questions or doubts during your daily cultivation, you can always ask me or other fellow disciples in my sect. We will fully support and guide you on your cultivation path."

Her voice was warm and powerful, as if planting a seed of struggle in the heart of every special forces soldier.

The special forces soldiers responded to Jiang Wanwan's words in unison. Their voices were thunderous and powerful, demonstrating the unique perseverance and determination of soldiers.

Jiang Wanwan smiled and waved her hand, signaling everyone to quiet down.

Then, she continued, "A month from now, the Xiaoyao Sect's Grand Competition will be held, a grand event showcasing strength and talent. I sincerely invite you to actively participate and fully unleash your potential. Whether you are from the Xiaoyao Sect or not, you are welcome to register and participate as long as you wish. At that time, outstanding performers will receive a mysterious grand prize! This reward is not only an affirmation of your efforts but also a motivation to encourage you to keep moving forward."

Upon hearing the news, the special forces soldiers' eyes gleamed with excitement and anticipation.

After settling the special forces soldiers in, Jiang Qinian excitedly jogged over to Jiang Wanwan, her face beaming with joy.

"Xiao Wan, I have great news for you! My application has been approved, and I can now join the Xiaoyao Sect!" Jiang Qinian was so excited that she couldn't speak coherently.

Jiang Wanwan was overjoyed to hear the news, and she immediately took out a soul lamp and lit it.

"This soul lamp will transmit your soul aura to the sect's main hall, thus officially making you a member of our Free and Unfettered Sect," Jiang Wanwan explained.

Jiang Qinian closed her eyes, carefully sensing the subtle connections between herself and the sect, her heart filled with a sense of belonging.

"Wow, this feeling is amazing!" Jiang Qinian exclaimed.

Jiang Wanwan couldn't help but laugh when she saw his happy expression.
