Chapter 1434: Chapter 678: The Bond Between Master and Disciple

Bai Zi is an old Mystic Sect member, skilled in various little tricks. This plan is to have Emei play the good face, Tie Dan the neutral face, and Yazi the bad face, revealing demon bodies and beast forms, looking mighty from every angle, and then take a spin in the surrounding ten-mile radius to let people know the earth has a new owner. After that, casually kill a few well-fed and wealthy lords to intimidate the villagers, then order them to tribute children.

Of course, the wealthy families wouldn’t send their own children. They would inevitably capture orphans and street kids from poor families to offer to demons in exchange for their own peace, at most just giving some money.

After gathering these children in the mountain, locking them with the kids from Guangxia Mountain, Bai Zi mingles among them as a plant, loudly proclaiming "WEAREALLGONADIE! Our parents don’t want us anymore! The monster will eat us! They’re going to cleanse our intestines and drain our blood! Later, will it be steaming, cooking, or stewing? Please don’t deep fry us!" Meanwhile, observe them to see if any have solid minds worthy of cultivating as potential talent, who could be recruited as little brothers.

In short, scare these children until their Daoist hearts collapse, making them cry their eyes out. Then let Emei step in to save them and ask if they want to go home or pursue cultivation. If they want to leave the mountain, they can be sent home, but if they want to stay, they’ll be given food. However, only those who pass the Spirit Root test can be taken in for training. Then Bai Zi takes the lead with "Wow! Golden legend!" and usually manages to recruit the first batch of brothers to ascend the mountain.

Emei doesn’t mind, after all, Mystic Sect has never been shy about using tactics, and children are a form of Immortal Fate, counted as ’wealth’. As long as they are taken in, whether guarding the house, gardening, or sweeping the streets, they are useful. If a child can ascend to disciple, ’human wealth’ can become ’Daoist companion’, naturally more valuable.

And compared to Bai Zi’s small tricks, in Mystic Sect it’s considered quite gentle. Truly, for the sake of competing for a direct disciple, deception and trickery will be used to the extreme, some even employing more ruthless methods.

For example, if a promising candidate comes from a complete family with happiness and harmony, possibly even having a childhood sweetheart or unbetrothed child bride, enjoying a happy and blissful life, who would willingly follow you to the mountain to eat dust and live as a widow?

At this time, to solidify a disciple’s dedication to the Dao, a common tactic is to invite those fellow Daoists who plan to reincarnate and want to dissolve, to first kill the disciple’s entire family, then appear to save them, avenge them here and now, and finally accept them into the fold. Thus, openly resolving cause and effect, a perfect plan. The fellow Daoist can dissolve, the disciple can apprentice, the master can accept, isn’t it all-round perfection, congratulatory!

What? What about the deceased family? Haha, having the sect protect you, there’s plenty of blessing for you to start a family and have descendants, won’t you repay that?

So honestly, if there were a census, calculation among Mystic Sect people would show roughly eight or nine out of ten have a tragic childhood, everyone with deceased parents, each experiencing family turmoil. Ah, really, where do all these scripts come to change your fate? Simply your master appreciating you! Cough, cough, no more talk, or some may find their Daoist hearts collapsing...

"Rebuilding the Mystic Sect, that’s my wish. Teaching disciples is easy, but isn’t the Daoist Lord selectively choosing two or more children as servants?"

With True Immortal Elixir pills, the Emei trio naturally also got saved. After all, it’s Heizi’s parallel master group, each bound with a gourd, consuming genetically customized elixir for breathing control, nourishing essence, replenishing blood and Qi, recovering nicely. Cang Ming’s eyes also healed, casually asked upon hearing the arrangement.

"I can’t even handle these three treasures, why collect so many, better fewer but better."

Tie Dan checked Bai Zi’s pulse, seeing the previously chaotic True Qi had calmed, presumably with careful nourishment and the integration of Testing Stone refining root bones, eliminating hidden problems and old ailments over the years, power will surely increase. Guaranteed Divinity Transformation Enlightenment in the future, leading the group. Nodded and replied casually,

"In short, it’s decided. I’ll leave Yazi to guard the mountain. You all focus on healing, teaching these youngsters. I’ll bring another disciple over, joining us on the mountain."

"Rest assured, Daoist Lord."

With Yazi present, Tie Dan has no worry about True Yang Palace, what’s more, Zhu Yuer has three heads for scheming, there’s nothing to be concerned about, his worry now is the other side with only one head.

Mmm, back then agreeing with that eighteen-year-old big beard to come and settle with family at Guangxia Mountain, yet the mountain has been relocated without a sight of Chen Wu. Tie Dan suspects he might have encountered trouble.

Truth is, seeing so many parallel disciples, with enough accumulated factors, Tie Dan also knows now, calculating with fingers now can count, self should have three direct disciples in Taiji Heaven.

Mmm, Hei Zi not counted, after all, Taixu Heaven’s matters, using Taiji algorithm can’t calculate those. Whether can pass Doomsday likely unknown, who knows if Sword Sect can be passed down.

Among these three direct disciples, Huangfu Yi is naturally the legitimate senior brother. All timelines are clear, transparent, certainly will go to break the Ten Absolute Array to rescue him in the future.

And Zhu Yuer is actually the third disciple. Yes, just now in Divine Court Illusion Realm, Tie Dan perceived it, this kid and oneself have fate, just this lifetime a bit too early, requiring another turn to become an apprentice properly. However, this time due to future Hei Zi forcibly mingling opportunity, added cause and effect, modded the timeline joining us, thus to snag the third disciple’s position, planned early entry.
