The other elders, including Meng Changjin, all looked at Elder Xin Lan with curiosity.
They also wanted to know how Wu Shaoqi was fooling people.
The corners of Elder Xin Lan's mouth twitched, but she still opened her mouth and told the whole story as she knew it.
Simply put, Wu Shaoqi is indeed a trouble-maker. In previous years, when everyone went to recruit him as a disciple, everything went smoothly and without any problems.
But as soon as Wu Shaoqi went out, he met a young man with ordinary qualifications who wanted to join a leading sect.
Of course the sect would not accept him. When Wu Shaoqi saw this, he walked up to the young man and started chatting with him.
What happened next happened so quickly. By the time Elder Xin Lan and the others learned the news and rushed over, Wu Shaoqi was already followed by a lot of people. Even before the Wanhuang Sect started recruiting disciples, there were already more than 300 people who wanted to join the Wanhuang Sect.
Xin Lan still remembers the leaders of the sect who were setting up a stage to recruit disciples when she went there. Their faces turned green and red, which was a very ugly sight.
But it would be a waste not to accept the disciples I have already obtained. Although I said before setting out that I would accept 200 people, I can't refuse to accept those with good qualifications, right?
"This is roughly what happened. I have no idea what exactly happened. I asked Shao Qi and he said he just said a few random words." Elder Xin Lan spread his hands. Anyway, this is the fact. Whether you believe it or not is up to you.
She didn't believe it either, but since Wu Shaoqi wouldn't say anything, she couldn't force Wu Shaoqi to say it.
Moreover, Wu Shaoqi has brought so many talented disciples to the sect, which is a great achievement.
Merits should be rewarded instead of being interrogated like a criminal to extract secrets from the disciples.
Everyone has their own opportunities and secrets. Just like when Meng Changjin took out the Soul Refining Technique and the other book of cultivation techniques, the elders could not really care whether Meng Changjin figured it out on his own.
Everyone has some secrets of their own, but Meng Changjin took out his skills to improve the strength of the sect's disciples, which means that Meng Changjin is beneficial to the Wanhuang Sect.
If everyone wants to find out the secrets of others, then no one will think of giving away benefits when they get them, but will hide them tightly!
Several elders thought that Wu Shaoqi was hiding a secret, but Meng Changjin knew that Wu Shaoqi was probably just someone who relied on his mouth to trick people.
But Wu Shaoqi does have other secrets.
She didn't need to say much. It didn't matter if the elders made guesses in their hearts. Maybe when necessary, the elders would cover up for Wu Shaoqi.
"No matter how he did it, it's a good thing that he can recruit so many disciples with good qualifications this time. You should think about how many disciples you want to accept this time." The great elder Bian Yu ended the topic and shifted the subject to recruiting disciples.
When the Great Elder mentioned this, Meng Changjin spoke first: "I don't care about qualifications, but I want to recruit a few people with good alchemy talents. If Wanhuang Sect wants to become one of the top sects, then it still needs to be self-sufficient in resources."
The Wanhuang Sect has a mineral vein, but there is only one vein. It has no alchemists or weapon refiners. Its strength is ranked in the top 50, and it is not very strong.
Of course, times have changed since then. Ten years ago, the person entrusted with the task of taking over the Wanhuang Sect had only been there for two years, and his own strength was only at the fourth level. If it weren't for a few elders, he might not even be ranked in the top fifty.
Now, as the sect leader, Meng Changjin has reached the peak of the sixth level, which is already the strength of a sect leader ranked in the twenties or thirties.
But these are far from enough. A sect does not only look at the strength of the leader. The strength of the leader is also important, but the overall strength is the most important.
Meng Changjin's current strength can rank him in the twenties among the sect leaders, but considering the overall strength, the Wanhuang Sect may only rank around 40th by then.
Being around 40th place was a big improvement compared to being over 50, but it was not enough. Meng Changjin's goal was to be in the top 10! Only by being in the top 10 would he have priority in everything, and there would be more places for opening various secret realms.
And all of this is inseparable from the improvement of strength.
The fastest way to improve your strength is to accumulate resources.
There are not so many spirit stones. There are thousands of disciples in the Wanhuang Sect. It is just a pipe dream to use spirit stones to pile them up.
If the Wanhuang Sect had more than a dozen spirit stone veins, they could use the spirit stones to pile up, but the Wanhuang Sect only has one.
This is the same mineral vein where Meng Changjin dug a big pit when he went there to practice last time.
So we can only use the resource pile in another way.
For example, elixirs.
Pills are expensive because there are too few alchemists. But if you are an alchemist yourself, you only need to pay for some medicinal materials to make pills.
Some people say that cultivators who rely on elixirs are weak, but no matter how weak they are, a cultivator at the fourth level defeating a cultivator at the second level still has an absolute advantage.
There is also a saying that all medicines are poisonous to a certain extent. If you take too many pills, too much poison will remain in your body. This is also true.
However, compared with the longevity that can be brought by breaking through the realm and advancing, the cost of the poison caused by taking the elixir is really not worth mentioning.
In addition, the wealth that an alchemist can bring is also astonishing.
Alchemists and weapon refiners are truly a group of people who are chased by heaven and fed by others.
Not only is he an expert at making money, but others also dare not offend him.
Meng Changjin’s idea was simple, which was to train a few money-making machines for the Wanhuang Sect.
The disciples of Wanhuang Sect collect medicinal herbs while completing tasks. The herbs are provided to their fellow alchemists for making pills, and then distributed to the disciples as task rewards.
In addition, it can also be sold to the outside, and the resources obtained from the sale are used to issue tasks or improve strength.
This will be a virtuous cycle.
Although the Wanhuang Sect has good relations with many sects or cultivator families because of the large number of female disciples, when people really want to destroy the Wanhuang Sect, these people will not really help just because of this friendship.
Since friendship is useless, then interests must be useful, right?
Meng Changjin wanted to build the Wanhuang Sect into a profitable sect. In this way, when someone wanted to deal with the Wanhuang Sect, others would help for the sake of profit.
In addition, the Wanhuang Sect does not need to have good relations with all the sects, but rather wants all the sects to owe the Wanhuang Sect a favor.
An important reason why alchemists and weapon refiners get along well is the word "human connections".
There are still many people willing to make elixirs in exchange for favors.
"Of course. The master can choose among all the disciples first." Several elders nodded.
It is nothing for them to teach a dozen or twenty disciples, but if the leader can teach a dozen or twenty alchemists, then the Wanhuang Sect will really rise.
