Of course, Li Sisui's residence was much more spacious than the cave where he had just woken up. The cave where he had just woken up was mainly used to imprison people of other races.
Although Li Sisui is now insignificant, he is still a member of the Tu clan's outer lineage.
The management of the outer sect is relatively loose, but this looseness also means freedom.
Each member of the non-Buddhist sect is free to do whatever they like after completing their assigned tasks.
Some members of the tribe, though lacking talent in cultivation, are skilled in handicrafts and can weave leaves into hemp clothing to shield them from the wind and rain.
Even more so, some collect various materials to make clothes that are of better quality, lighter and more comfortable, thereby winning the appreciation of the inner court.
There were also those skilled in cooking, gathering herbs for medicine, and collecting and reselling unusual items.
In short, the members of the outer clans are all doing their best to use their talents to survive in this chaotic world, and while enjoying the protection of their clans, they can also provide some assistance to their clans.
If the Nine Dragons Sect is described as a giant beast, then the outer sect members are parasites existing inside the beast, interdependent with it, while the inner sect members are the beast's teeth and claws.
When the inner and outer sects merged, they became the Nine Dragons Sect, a behemoth that roamed the desolate land of China, protecting itself while eyeing others with predatory intent.
However, in the vast and desolate land of China, this behemoth can only lie prostrate and hide atop the high mountains, quietly accumulating power, waiting for the day it can descend the mountain and stand on equal footing with the people of China.
After that, Li Sisui never encountered the old man in hemp clothing again, but Li Sisui didn't care. He was only focused on getting on the path of cultivation as soon as possible.
Unfortunately, it seems that Li Sisui is really not cut out for cultivation. No matter how hard he tries and how persistent he is, he still makes no progress.
After trying his best, Li Sisui even began to doubt the cultivation method. Was it possible that people who had transmigrated were not suitable for cultivation?
He could only watch as the other members of his clan around him did the same things every day, and they all made some progress in their cultivation through their continuous efforts. Although they were still far from breaking through to the initial stage, at least their efforts had yielded some results.
However, Li Sisui remained completely unresponsive, as if he were immune to cultivation.
Li Sisui was both anxious and helpless, as if he had put all his strength into a pile of cotton, which made him extremely frustrated.
More than two months have passed since the old man in hemp robes went into seclusion, and Li Sisui couldn't help but feel worried. The year was drawing to a close, but the old man in hemp robes still hadn't appeared, as if he had disappeared.
The end of the year and the end of the year in the previous world had the same meaning.
On this day, all members of the Kowloon Sect, whether from the inner or outer branches, participate in the ancestral worship ceremony, listen to the teachings, and perform collective sacrifices to pray for the protection of their ancestors.
With less than half a month left until the end of the year, the outer clan makes almost no demands on the work of its members during this period.
At this time, most of the leaders of the outer clan are focused on preparing for the year-end ancestral worship ceremony, so the outer clan members are exceptionally free during this period at the end of the year, which is basically the only time when they can let loose.
This period was when people from other clans were most active. Two people who would never have any interaction on a normal day would chat for a while when they met, mainly for transactions between clan members.
Since there was no currency, intra-tribal transactions still followed the barter system.
As long as both parties agree, any item can be traded to obtain what they need.
Although it was the outer sect members who were conducting the transactions during this period, many inner sect members also came to look for their desired items.
Li Sisui has been lingering in the plaza at the entrance of the Beehive Cave for the past few days; this is where the tribesmen trade.
With no progress in his cultivation and the old man in hemp clothing not appearing for a long time, Li Sisui, feeling frustrated, simply put cultivation out of his mind.
Walking through the bustling crowds every day has broadened my horizons considerably.
Li Sisui would often pick some unusual-looking plants and trees on the cliff edge, and now he carried them all with him to try his luck in the square.
After wandering around for a few days, I quietly threw away all the plants and trees, realizing that I had been indulging in wishful thinking.
What you see as special plants and trees may be just common weeds to others.
However, after browsing around for the past few days, Li Sisui felt that the success rate of this barter system was too low. He hadn't seen many people successfully complete a transaction in the past few days.
For those from other sects, due to the scarcity of resources, everyone lives on the same land and has no possibility of going down the mountain, so their basic needs are similar.
The most popular items for trading were food, clothing, and utensils.
This is understandable. Food can be used to improve and regulate the body. However, the food provided by the clan can only solve the problem of food and clothing. If you want to live a comfortable life, you have to work hard yourself.
Clothing offers a warmer and more comfortable experience, and as for equipment, it goes without saying that it's one of the few options that can improve work efficiency.
After all, most people from outside the sect do not have the talent for cultivation. Applying their cultivation to their work would certainly be twice as effective, but only a few can achieve something in cultivation.
Most people outside the sect can only try their best to improve their living experience outside of work, otherwise the only pleasure left in living is simply existing.
Although every member of an outer sect receives a cultivation manual issued by their sect, for most of them, this cultivation manual is like a lottery ticket from the old world.
Everyone has the potential, but the potential is infinitely close to zero.
After wandering around aimlessly without finding anything, Li Si walked listlessly back to his residence.
