The hempen robe that Li Si wore was woven from the leaves of this tree.
Although it's rough, it's lightweight and comfortable, better than nothing.
As for Seventeen and Eighteen, I haven't seen them since we parted ways last time.
Later, Li Sisui inquired with some other people, but none of them had heard of anyone from the outer sect who had such a person as the Seventeenth or Eighteenth. It seems that the two of them were not completely open with Li Sisui.
Looking back on the moment of their parting, Li Sisui finally understood why the two had been so affectionate towards him.
On the surface, everything seems to be for my own good, but in reality, I've finally found someone to fill the hole.
By assigning Li Sisui here, they can escape this tedious and arduous work and continue to stay within the clan.
Simply put, the Nine Dragons Sect is divided into the Inner Sect and the Outer Sect.
The inner sect gathers practitioners who cultivate themselves in seclusion, remaining mysterious and rarely known to outsiders.
The outer sect is like the soil from which the inner sect takes root, constantly gathering and feeding back various information, collecting resources and gathering clansmen from all over the place, and then selecting clansmen with cultivation potential to be sent into the inner sect.
Most importantly, there are no entry requirements for non-Buddhist sects.
Regardless of whether you are strong and healthy or old, weak and sick, anyone of the same clan can join the outer sect.
After joining, you will be assigned a job. You will need to regularly hand over supplies as required to exchange for food and anything else you need.
If it has enough value, you can even exchange it for a spot to enter the inner sect!
Every task performed by members of the outer clan must be done by someone from the clan.
If you want to change jobs or quit, you must find someone to replace you.
Alternatively, you may leave the sect, otherwise it will be considered as shirking your duties and you will be punished by the outer sect.
At best, they'll be reassigned to even harder work; at worst, they'll lose their lives.
However, it is extremely rare for clan members to be executed in the name of the clan; the vast majority of deaths and injuries are due to people encountering danger while traveling.
As long as you are within the sect, whether it is the inner sect or the outer sect, although you may be poor in food and clothing and lack resources, you will never be in danger of losing your life.
After all, the most precious resource nowadays is none other than their own people.
If there is anything more precious than the tribespeople, it must be the female tribespeople!
Rumors circulated that whoever could bring back a female member of the tribe would immediately be granted entry into the inner sanctum.
He was granted a new surname and name, and from then on enjoyed the protection of the imperial family, living a life of peace and security.
Within the Nine Dragons Sect, anyone with a surname and given name is a person of high status and formidable strength.
The number 3721 assigned to Li Sisui was merely a string of numbers used by the outer clan for ease of management.
For most people outside the sect, having a nickname is enough; no one cares what your real name is.
In this world, most people are not worthy of having a surname.
Of course, you can also choose to leave. The clan will not restrict the personal freedom of anyone from outside the clan.
You can choose to leave at any time.
Those who belong to the inner clan must obtain the clan's consent before they can leave; otherwise, they will be considered traitors and will be executed without mercy!
The Nine Dragons Sect is situated atop a precipitous mountaintop, surrounded by cliffs on all sides.
Ordinary people cannot climb to the top, let alone the fact that most of the people from the outer sect are scattered remnants brought back from various places.
They were already living in a chaotic world, their lives hanging by a thread. Now that they have a place to settle down and make a living, they are grateful beyond words. Why would anyone leave on their own initiative?
Most of the non-Buddhist sect members, though working hard every day, did so without complaint.
