At first glance, this 'sect' consists of only a large wooden gate, a surrounding wall, and nine separate small wooden houses inside the courtyard.
Because everything inside was so rudimentary, the three of them could see almost everything inside just by standing outside the door and looking in.
It's safe to say that even the places where ordinary people with some family wealth live are probably better than the conditions in their sect.
Gu Xiaochui hesitated for a moment, then looked at Rong Zi and asked a question.
"Master, how many spirit stones did it take to build our sect?"
Upon hearing this, Rong Zi immediately clutched her chest in distress and solemnly held up five fingers, saying, "Don't even mention it, it cost me over five hundred high-grade spirit stones!"
Gu Xiaochui: "..."
Yun Jing: "..."
That's quite a lot...
Yun Jing and Gu Xiaochui exchanged a glance, both seeing the same thing in each other's eyes.
Sure enough, Rong Zi is Rong Zi.
What a blunder! They actually thought she'd be willing to spend money this time...
In fact, Yun Jing and Gu Xiaochui didn't really care whether the sect was grand or not, how large its territory was, or how good its facilities were.
They are content as long as they have a place to shelter from the wind and rain, and a home to return to.
However, this plaque...
Yun Jing and Gu Xiaochui looked up at the plaque above the gate again, their feelings were truly indescribable.
Yun Jing cleared her throat, tugged at Rong Zi's sleeve, and discussed it with her.
"Master, I think we should find someone to make a custom plaque for the door?"
Rong Zi glared at him, "Why waste this money? Isn't the plaque I wrote for the door good enough?"
Yun Jing: ...Can he tell the truth?
Gu Xiaochui took a deep breath and forced a smile, trying to be as tactful as possible, "Actually, it's not that it's bad, it's just that those three words... it's a bit hard to tell what they mean, and the little turtle in the bottom right corner, isn't that a bit inappropriate?"
It's really not that he and Yun Jing have too many things going on.
After all, the plaque on the gate represents the face of a sect.
Their sect can be humble, but it can't be too shabby; it can be down-to-earth, but it can't be directly connected to the imperial court!
The three characters on the plaque were wildly and unrestrainedly strung together, making it impossible to discern what they meant; they were twisted and crooked, like a mudfish.
What they found even more unacceptable was that a small turtle was drawn on the lower right corner of the plaque.
If other people saw this, they might think their sect's name was "Turtle Sect"...
Before Rong Zi could respond after Gu Xiaochui finished speaking, Cai Niu jumped out first.
"What's wrong with that? I am the guardian spirit beast of our Rongling Sect. How can there be no trace of me outside the sect's main gate? Other sects always display the majestic and domineering image of their guardian spirit beasts outside the sect gate."
“Other sects erect statues for their guardian spirit beasts at the main gate, but ours…” Gu Xiaochui was speechless. He looked Cai Niu up and down. “Besides, are you sure your image can be majestic and imposing?”
Upon hearing this, Cai Niu immediately flew into a rage.
It perched on Rong Zi's shoulder, baring its teeth and brandishing its claws, "Explain yourself! How is my image not majestic and imposing? You, you, you... you must be jealous of my perfect image, so you're deliberately picking on me!"
Cai Niu hadn't forgotten that Gu Xiaochui wanted to refine it the first time he saw it.
Gu Xiaochui: "..."
It is said that a beast's spirit is determined by its master.
Gu Xiaochui glanced at the three characters on the plaque that looked like they were scribbled by a dog, and the little turtle next to it, and his lips twitched slightly.
Indeed, there is some truth to that...
Rong Zi grabbed Cai Niu's body and pressed its head into the turtle shell, silencing its loud noises.
She looked up at the plaque in front of her, thought about it carefully for a while, and then said, "Indeed, Cai Niu's image seems a bit too lacking in domineering presence compared to the words I wrote next to it."
Upon hearing this, Yun Jing and Gu Xiaochui's eyes lit up.
Is Master preparing to listen to their opinions and change the door plaque?
The thought had barely formed in their minds when Rong Zi waved his hand, "It's alright, although it lacks a bit of domineering presence, it's unique enough!"
"Looking at the entire cultivation world, the plaque of our Rongling Sect is definitely unique and the most special one."
Yun Jing and Gu Xiaochui: "..."
That's not true...
Some of them are even a bit too much to bear.
In the end, the plaque was not removed; it remained hanging prominently above the gate.
After Yun Jing and Gu Xiaochui checked into their rooms, they hurriedly went into seclusion again.
Staying here, they were worried they would have a heart attack...
Rong Zi then walked around his sect, and then found some books about formations in his Hongmeng Ring and began to study them seriously.
"What are you doing?" Egg asked, perched on her shoulder.
Rong Zi kept flipping through the book in his hands and casually replied, "I'm studying formations. I plan to create a protective formation for the sect."
Every sect has its own protective formation, and Rongling Sect is no exception.
Egg: "No need to study it anymore. Rongling Sect has its own protective formation. You just need to activate it."
Rong Zi was taken aback. "How do I start it?"
"Come with me." Egg jumped off her shoulder and hopped off in one direction.
