Shuyuxi was more than ten miles away from the square where Fang Hao landed, and when he walked there, it was almost dark.

On the way, Fang Hao also learned some about the situation of the Sword Washing Gate from Hong Zhi.

Hong Zhi couldn't say how many disciples there were in the Sword Washing Sect, but he only roughly knew that there were nearly 10,000 disciples in the outer sect and 40,000 or 50,000 miscellaneous disciples, and as for how many disciples there were in the inner sect, he didn't understand as a miscellaneous servant.

That should be an approximate number that only the upper echelons of the sect know.

The Southern Continent belongs to the area under the joint management of the five major sects, and there are more than 300 countries in total, but these 300 countries are not the same size, and the martial arts are not the same level.

Some countries have to select a little more, while others have a little less.

Yi Guo is among them, which belongs to the lower middle level.

All in all, in these more than 300 countries, there are more than 900 people who enter the outer gate first, and only more than 9,000 people in ten years.

Not every year is like this year, and more than 4,000 outer disciples have been recruited at once.

Moreover, the outer disciples who are selected to enter are basically the best among their peers, and at least half of them will enter the innate realm and become inner disciples in the next ten years.

After ten years, if you enter the innate realm, you are not qualified to become an inner disciple, you can only continue to be an outer disciple.

And at the age of forty, those who have not yet entered the innate realm are not only not qualified to become inner disciples, but even as outer disciples, they are not qualified - either they will leave the sect, or they will continue to stay in the sect as a miscellaneous worker.

Most of those who have entered the innate realm and are qualified to continue to stay in the outer gate will not be willing to continue to stay in the outer gate, but will choose to leave the sect, establish a family, and become an ancestor.

Therefore, in the Washing Sword Sect, the number of outer disciples is not particularly large.

But it's hard to say about the inner disciples.

The lifespan of an innate master is very long, and under normal circumstances, he can live to be two hundred years old, and the disciples who enter the inner gate will generally not let them leave the sect unless they are willing to abandon their martial arts.

From their own point of view, they are not willing to leave the sect, and only by staying in the sect will they have a better development.

Therefore, there will be more and more disciples who enter the inner gate, but there will be very few eliminated through death.

According to Hong Zhi's estimates, the number of disciples in the inner sect of the Sword Washing Sect may be greater than the number of miscellaneous disciples.

That's a pretty scary number.

However, Fang Hao knew that this number was a reliable number.

Because in his previous life, he had a relatively deep understanding of the power of the five major sects, and the inner disciples of each sect were a very large number.

The power possessed by the five major sects, even if they don't count those old monsters in the transcendent realm, just those innate masters can crush the Southern Continent.

This is also the key to their ability to firmly control the southern continent.

Originally, the outer disciples of the Sword Washing Sect did not have any sect benefits, but they had the advantage that they could listen to the lectures of the inner disciples for free.

Every month, there will be inner disciples who accept the tasks of the sect and go to the outer gate to explain the martial arts and answer questions, which is a very rare opportunity.

Moreover, there are hundreds of inner disciples who accept this kind of task every month, basically covering all martial arts classifications.

In addition, it can also be regarded as a benefit, that is, obtaining sect contribution points is more preferential than those miscellaneous servants, so that as long as there are enough gold coins, they can be exchanged for sect contribution points in exchange for the true meaning jade of Xuan-level exercises that are rare outside.

There are no benefits for the rest.

The house has to be built by yourself, of course, you can also use the sect contribution points to buy from the sect.

You also have to buy the sect's contribution points, and of course, you can also rent the sect's land and farm in the sect.

Although Fang Hao had some in-depth understanding of the Five Great Sects in his previous life, he didn't understand these trivial things, and when he heard that the outer disciples still needed to farm the land by themselves, he not only laughed: "It's not so exaggerated, right?

"Back to the master, this is not an exaggeration, some outer disciples hire handymen to farm the land, because the handymen are not qualified to rent the land of the sect. Hong Zhi said respectfully.

Seeing that Fang Hao was puzzled, he explained: "Because there is spiritual energy in the sect, you can grow some spiritual medicine and spiritual fruits, and you can also grow some spiritual rice that can nourish the physical body, which is not available in the outside world." Therefore, many disciples chose to rent the land of the sect. ”

Fang Hao nodded, only then did he understand.

I feel that being an outer disciple is more humble than I imagined.

However, Hong Zhi also told him that the treatment of this year's outer disciples was very different.

In addition to the new outer disciples of this year, they can enjoy the preaching and teaching of the inner disciples and the exchange of sect contribution points, and in the courtyard of each disciple, there are two acres of spiritual land, and there is no need to pay rent.

Even, every outer disciple can also enjoy the thirty catties of spiritual rice distributed by the sect every month, and a pill to improve cultivation.

Basically, there is no difference in treatment with inner disciples.

As for arranging miscellaneous labor, this point is even stronger than that of the inner disciples.

What is inferior to the inner disciples is that they do not have the qualifications to apprentice, and their names will not be entered into the Fengyun spectrum, so they cannot be regarded as real disciples of the Sword Washing Sect, but can only be regarded as temporary disciples.

Only when you enter the inner gate will you have the qualifications to apprentice, and you will have a real master to guide you in learning and cultivating.

Now they're almost free-range.

"Sounds quite okay," Fang Hao said with a smile, "If you are not an inner disciple, you can already enjoy the treatment of an inner disciple in advance, which is already very good." ”

"So this matter, many of the outer disciples of the previous classes were very jealous. Hong Zhi said, "If the master has nothing to do, it is better not to set foot in the outer door, lest they do anything bad under jealousy." ”

Fang Hao nodded: "You have a point. ”

When he walked to Shuyuxi, Hong Zhi took him deep and said to him a little mysteriously: "I found that there is a courtyard over there, because it is against the hillside, the Lingtian is two points more than other yards, and it can lead mountains and water down for irrigation, and the owner lives there, so it is more advantageous." ”

Fang Hao was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but smile: "You really put your heart into it, thank you very much." ”

Hong Zhidao: "Satisfying the owner is the biggest motivation for the villain." If the master has a good life here, advances to the innate realm, and applies to the sect to help the villain, so that the villain can get a reward of three thousand sect contribution points, it will be even better. ”

He did so carefully, of course, so that the people he served were more satisfied with him.

Fang Hao immediately nodded and said, "No problem, if there is such a day, I will definitely help you apply." ”
