Eight out of ten, including the Ren family, are descendants of monks, and although they may not all have spiritual roots, the possibility that their descendants will have spiritual roots is very high.

On the day when the Ming Dao Sect openly recruited disciples, among the more than 200 children under the age of fifteen and over seven years old who came to take the test, the children with spiritual roots accounted for two-fifths of the number of people who participated in the test.

And among the more than eighty children with spiritual roots, there are actually eleven children with three spiritual roots and two children with double spiritual roots.

These thirteen children with good qualifications were directly admitted to the inner gate and became inner disciples, while the other seventy or so children with four spirit roots and five spirit roots became the first batch of outer disciples of the Ming Dao Sect.

Since the former owner of Qushan Island moved away with all the monks in the clan and a small number of non-monks who served as attendants, these islanders on Qushan Island who were abandoned by the former owner have cut off the road to seek immortals.

Later, the people of the Ren family began to cultivate immortals, and they did not think of sending their children to the Ren family to ask for a chance, but at that time, the Ren family's resources were extremely scarce, except for the subordinates and servants of the Ren family, as well as the Wang family, the Ji family, and the Li Langzhong family, which had always been good friends with the Ren family, the Ji family did not accept the children of other families at all.

Decades have passed in the blink of an eye, and six or seven out of ten people who envied these families for cultivating immortals have passed away, but their descendants suddenly ushered in the day when the Ren family accepted disciples, which they were looking forward to.

Happiness came too suddenly, and several villages around Liangzhi Village suddenly boiled.

Especially those families who have children who have been selected, until their children enter the Ren family's mansion, they have not recovered from the huge surprise.

In order to make their sect look decent, Ren Hanjun had already invited people from the Wu family to help them build the future sect station, but before the completion there, these newly recruited little guys still had to live in Liangzhi Village like everyone else.

The new sect station designated by Ren Hanjun is very close to Qushan Town, where it was originally a large piece of land that the Ren family bought a few years ago.

After the early rice harvest in the field, Ren Hanjun and Liu Yi personally designed the general layout of the future sect station.

So far, the construction of the main building complex over there has been completed, and Deng Xibin, Brother Ji, Second Brother Ji and others, who are in charge of supervising the work, are now staring at the craftsmen to perfect the details.

Since the Wu family also had three juniors who joined the newly baked Ming Dao Sect, the Wu family refused to accept the wages paid by the Ren family no matter what.

Ren Hanjun thought about it for a while, and simply gave them five hundred catties of spiritual rice, ten baskets of spiritual fruits, ten small jars of spiritual wine, and one hundred and twenty Qi Gathering Pills as a thank you gift.

If the Wu family obtained the treasure, the patriarch of the Wu family first distributed one hundred and twenty Qi Gathering Pills to the three children who were about to embark on the immortal path, and then distributed the spirit rice, spirit fruit, and spirit wine to everyone in the clan according to the contribution of each family to the family.

The Wu family is a big family, and each family can only get a little bit of these things sent by the Ren family, but everyone in the Wu family was pleasantly surprised.

These are all spiritual materials for immortal cultivators to eat and drink, as mortals, it is already a rare opportunity for them to taste a taste, how many people can't even see it.

A month later, the Wu family, who had done all the work, left the future residence of the Ming Dao Sect.

In order to thank them for their dedication, Ren Hanjun asked each of them to give them a bag of two catties of spiritual rice and ten taels of silver as a hardship fee.

The matter of paying hardship fees was brought up by Ren Hanyue, although she originally wanted to say the word "bonus".

The reason why Ren Hanjun was instructed to do this was because Ren Hanyue found that those craftsmen and coolies were not all from the Wu family.

Although the Wu family did not shorten their wages, Ren Hanyue still felt that as the main family, they should give a little hard work to the people.

After all, now their Ren family is not what it used to be.

As the most powerful and powerful family on Qushan Island, she feels that it is necessary for their Ren family to establish a good reputation among the islanders.

At this point, her view was very different from that of the other immortal cultivation families in the East China Sea.

In the other immortal cultivation families in the East China Sea, the monks who were lucky enough to step into the immortal path would not take those mortals who had never stepped into the immortal path seriously at all.

What Ren Hanyue couldn't understand the most was that even if the person who didn't have a spiritual root was their direct blood relative within three generations, the vast majority of people would still choose to ignore it.

Not to mention the so-called "clansmen" who have only a small part of their blood in their bodies, and the common practice of the family rulers is to drive them directly to the village village to fend for themselves.

There, not only will these people work in the fields themselves, but a large part of them will live in poverty.

Their only chance of getting out of their predicament is to give birth to a child or grandchild with spiritual roots.

Such children will be brought back to the clan by the monks of the family, and they will be changed from collateral to descendants.

In this way, his/her direct blood relatives will naturally live a relatively prosperous and dignified life.

Of course, they are not the most bitter.

The most bitter are those mortals who have nothing to do with the local immortal cultivation family, they are always at the bottom of the island's food chain, and their ancestors have been inferior for generations.

There are often people without spiritual roots who have been driven to Zhuangzi by their own family, but they are not engaged in production, relying on their surnames to bully them.

There are not many such people, as long as there is one in a village, it is enough for those ordinary people to be miserable.

Of course, these people are not without a way out.

Every few years, the immortal cultivators of the islands in the East China Sea will recruit a group of monks with similar outer surnames among these people with foreign surnames, but the treatment is very different from that of ordinary sect disciples.

They would provide the most basic exercises to these monks with foreign surnames, and when these monks with foreign surnames successfully entered the Qi refining period, they would arrange for these monks with foreign surnames to do trivial tasks such as cultivating spiritual grass, mining ores, and dismantling the corpses of demon beasts.

These monks usually spend a full day working on their labor, but they receive an alarmingly small amount of supplies each month.

Getting rid of the filial piety they gave to the big and small stewards every now and then, and the relatively precious materials that were often withheld for various reasons, the things that could really enter their pockets in the end were only enough for them to use for three or five days at most.

In this case, it is understandable how difficult it is for them to advance to the next level.

In the eyes of the Ren family, "monks with foreign surnames" are clearly synonymous with cheap labor in the eyes of those immortal cultivation families, who work hard, earn little income, and are also oppressed and exploited.

In such an environment, let alone a normal promotion, how long they can live is a question.
