Accompanied by Yin Yutong, Gao Yan went to the True Inheritance Academy to change his identity token and receive his first year's salary.
According to the rules, newly promoted disciples can go to the Scripture Pavilion to receive a low-grade Xuan-level cultivation technique and three high-level spells for free.
But Gao Yan did not collect it.
Because he is currently cultivating a high-grade Earth-rank technique, and he hasn't even had time to cultivate three top-level spells yet, so why would he care about those things?
Moreover, he has already become Xiao Lingyue's disciple. Even if he lacks cultivation techniques and spells, he can ask Xiao Lingyue for them. There is no need for the common items provided free of charge by the sect.
The main reason is that the sect's techniques and spells cannot be passed on to outsiders. Otherwise, Gao Yan wouldn't mind taking advantage of the sect!
Yin Yutong was not a nobody in the True Inheritance Academy; the True Inheritance Disciples she encountered along the way all greeted her politely and bowed to her.
But she just nodded with a cool expression, at most uttering an "hmm," which showed Gao Yan another side of his junior sister.
Only after leaving the True Teachings Academy did she regain her original expression, and she smiled and said, "Junior brother, did you think that your senior sister was a bit cold-hearted just now?"
Could there be a reason behind this?
Gao Yan asked thoughtfully.
"certainly!"
Yin Yutong nodded: "This senior sister is, after all, a spiritual body, and her master is the strongest Nascent Soul elder. Therefore, there are still quite a few people who want to become my Daoist partner."
At first, I was quite friendly towards them, but if you're friendly, these people will keep bothering you, so I had to play the aloof card.
"I see!"
Gao Yan suddenly realized, but thinking about it, it made sense. Yin Yutong herself was quite talented, and with Xiao Lingyue as her backer, he would definitely gain a lot of benefits if he became her Daoist partner.
As they spoke, the two returned to the foot of Lingyue Peak.
But they discovered a true disciple sitting cross-legged on a rock outside the formation.
"Greetings, Senior Sister Yutong, and Junior Brother Gao Yan!"
Upon seeing Gao Yan and his companion, the other party immediately floated down from the rock and said.
"No need for formalities, what brings you here?"
Yin Yutong asked casually.
"Senior Sister Yutong, in half a month, Her Highness Saintess Xiahou will be holding a Dao Discussion Conference at Biyue Peak, and she has ordered me to deliver invitations to you two!" As she spoke, the other party took out two invitations and presented them to her.
"Alright, go back and tell His Highness Xiahou that my junior brother and I will arrive on time!" Yin Yutong said, accepting the invitation.
"Then I'll take my leave!"
"Senior sister, what's the deal with this Dao discussion conference?"
After entering the formation, Gao Yan asked a question.
Yin Yutong said, "Actually, the Dao Discussion Conference is just about eating and drinking, and exchanging cultivation experiences. It's not very interesting. However, Xiahou Meng is quite enthusiastic about organizing the Dao Discussion Conference, and he holds it almost every year!"
"Will the other holy sons and daughters hold similar events?"
Gao Yan asked again.
"Almost never!"
Yin Yutong said, "This Saintess Xiahou is quite fond of showing off and also likes to be praised. Of course, she frequently holds Dao discussion conferences in order to increase her influence. Among the Saintesses, she has the greatest fame, but in reality, her cultivation is much lower than that of Saintess Nangong!"
"Why is she trying to increase her fame? Could it be to help her compete for the sect leader position?" Gao Yan asked jokingly.
"There are advantages, even if there are none!"
Gao Yan looked at Yin Yutong with a puzzled expression.
She explained, "Generally speaking, when choosing a sect leader, the one with the strongest cultivation is chosen, because only in this way can the situation be controlled. But when choosing a deputy sect leader, cultivation level is not the only factor. Management ability and influence are also important."
If nothing unexpected happens, the next sect leader will be Xiahou Jian Shengzi. I guess Xiahou Shengnu doesn't want to compete with her elder brother for the sect leader position; she's eyeing the position of vice sect leader.
Our Nine Saints Sect's sect leader and deputy sect leader are replaced every five thousand years. The current sect leader has only been in office for a little over two thousand years. This means that in the next two thousand years, the true elders will all step down and be replaced by the younger generation.
The younger generation that Saintess Xiahou is currently cultivating might become elders in the future. With the support of these elders, wouldn't her chances of becoming the vice sect leader be even greater?
"What are the benefits of becoming a sect leader or deputy sect leader?"
He asked a question in a high-minded manner!
"Of course there are benefits, and quite significant ones at that!"
Yin Yutong said softly, "Our Nine Saints Sect has quite a few exclusive secret realms. Among them, the top-level secret realms are transformed from the small worlds of Dao Integration experts after their deaths. It is said that it is easier to comprehend the laws when cultivating inside them. Of course, cultivating inside them will also consume the corresponding resources of the secret realm."
Therefore, apart from the sect leader, deputy sect leader, and certain elders, no one else is qualified to enter these secret realms. Of course, if someone has rendered great service to the sect, they can be admitted as an exception!
Yin Yutong continued, "Secondly, our Nine Saints Sect still owns quite a few mines and industries in the Eastern Wilderness. The sect leader can enjoy five percent of the sect's annual revenue, while the deputy sect leader can enjoy one percent."
If we want to achieve greater success in our cultivation, besides talent and aptitude, the most important thing is cultivation resources. The higher the cultivation level, the more resources are needed.
Especially at the Void Realm, no matter how good your talent and aptitude are, if you don't have enough resources, those with weaker talent and aptitude can catch up with you and even surpass you.
Of course, the biggest benefit is that we can receive guidance from the nine founding ancestors of our Nine Saints Sect.
After all, these nine patriarchs are all peerless experts who have been at the Saint Realm for many years. A mere pointer from them can benefit you immensely and save you from many detours!
As they spoke, the two returned to the mountaintop.
