The number of outer disciples of each peak sect is about 1,300 or 400.

The outer disciples of the sect were all selected from thirteen or fourteen-year-old children, and the world style at that time had always been to advocate martial arts and respect martial arts.

Wealthy families send their own or relatives' children here, the purpose is very simple, that is, to have a backer in the future, and the family will not be bullied by others. The vast majority of children from poor families come here because they are poor, and they have many brothers and sisters in the family. Taking refuge in a sect means finding a place where you can eat, dress, and fill your stomach, as for cultivation or something, that is after entering the sect, and the first thing to solve is the problem of food and clothing.

Teenage children, they don't know much about the world, not to mention things like cultivating to become immortals, they have no concept at all, even if some of them were bullied when they were young and came to the sect, they only thought about how to practice kung fu well, so that they could take revenge in the future, and they couldn't tell the difference between practicing martial arts and cultivating truth.

The purpose of the Xiuzhen Sect to recruit disciples is of course to reserve successor talents for the future development of its own sect, hoping to discover and cultivate haode seedlings from it, and attach great importance to the disciples who have cultivation talents, but for the vast majority of the rest of the ordinary disciples, who have no spiritual roots, they are not so concerned at all.

Long-term facts have proved that "if a cultivator does not possess spiritual roots and talents, the possibility of going far on the path of cultivating the truth is almost zero", since he is not the person required by the sect, who will spend energy to cultivate and cultivate?

The reason why these ordinary disciples are accepted into the sect is that there is a 1 in 10,000 chance that maybe a few of them will bump into a big opportunity, stand out, and jump into the dragon gate. In addition, as a large sect, there must always be some disciples with low cultivation to deal with it, do chores, and if there is a war, sect disputes, these disciples with low cultivation can always resist it, how to say that after a few years, more than ten years of cultivation, even if they do not go far on the way to cultivation, they are always much stronger than ordinary secular people, and the seventh or eighth level of Qi refining can always be achieved, and there are a large number of these people, liliang is also not to be underestimated.

The improvement of cultivation depends on the accumulation of time, and a person's life can be achieved and stand out from the world's sentient beings, just look at such a short period of a few years, ten years, once missed, there is no hope in this life.

Therefore, no one who is fortunate enough to step into the inner door from the outer gate and truly has the foundation of cultivating the truth, no one is willing to spend this precious time taking care of worldly affairs, either practicing behind closed doors, or going around looking for elixirs and recipes that can improve their cultivation, and they will not care about or ask about the cultivation of other people in the door at all.

The situation of the outer gate is a mixture between the secular and the cultivation realm, and some disciples who have reached a certain level of cultivation will of course have no distractions and concentrate on cultivation, hoping to become inner disciples. And most people, after a few years or more than ten years of cultivation, can only reach the fifth or sixth level of Qi refining realm, there is no cultivation prospect, it is impossible to reach the point of leaping into the dragon gate, so they can only mix in the outer gate, do chores in the sect and eat until they die of old age or die in war, a disciple of the outer sect, the sect will not let him enter and leave the mountain gate at will.

In addition to providing a small amount of material foundation and job opportunities at the beginning, the rest such as cultivation, food, clothing, housing, transportation, etc., all depend on the disciples' own efforts, to put it bluntly, they earn food and food through labor, and they will earn money, eat haode and wear haode, and if they have no money, even if they are hungry and cold, no one will take care of them.

Therefore, among the entire outer disciples, there are people who concentrate on cultivation, there are people who mess around, and there are people who form gangs and bully the weak, just like the worldly shijie, but they have all been cultivated, and they are more ruthless and cruel than the worldly people, and they can easily take people's lives.

There are more than 120,000 disciples in the outer sect of the entire Immortal Sect, but there are very few people who can really cultivate to the foundation building realm, and most of the disciples have cultivated in their entire lives, and they have stopped at the fifth or sixth level realm of the qi refining period. There are also very few people who have cultivated to the eighth level or above, and these people will be given special care by the sect.

In the eyes of cultivators, respect and humility have nothing to do with age, cultivation is higher than you, even if you are much older than him, you are one level lower than him, and you are called a senior.

The cruel side of the Xiuzhen sect, the various bad deeds of the outer disciples, and the thunderstorm they don't know when they first arrive, but with the accumulation of time, they can slowly realize it.

Xuanzhao Peak, the branch where the thunderstorm is located. A quaint, majestic hall, the group stands by the mountain, hundreds of towering trees on both sides, the shadow of the tree is swaying, the age of the tree is at least thousands of years, a pair of giant stone lions in front of the main hall, the teeth and claws are entrenched in front of the hall, more than a dozen stone steps under the square can accommodate thousands of people. The sect is surrounded by a group of peaks, the mountains are green and forested, the clouds and mist are shrouded, there is a waterfall hanging on the opposite side, and the water flows continuously all year round.

A slip of room not far from the main hall of the sect is the foreign affairs hall that manages the outer disciples.

The Foreign Affairs Hall, located in a courtyard, covers a large and small area of storage, including large and small warehouses that store all kinds of items in the back.

Lei Yu and Zhang Guangzu came to the Foreign Affairs Hall to receive the items sent to them by the sect, probably because of the afternoon, the courtyard of Nuoda seemed a little deserted, and there were not many people in the entire courtyard.

Walking into the courtyard, there is a corridor, composed of houses, each house lintel is hung with a plaque indicating the function, such as: "Herb Hall", "Book Hall", "Instrument Hall", "Grain Hall", "Clothing Hall" and so on, the front is a dam, walk up a few steps through the dam, and the house facing you is written "Foreign Affairs Hall".

In the Foreign Affairs Hall, the shelves on the front and sides are full of items. A tall and thin man, who looked to be in his thirties or forties, was tall and thin, wearing a shabby gray robe and a beard, sitting behind a table facing the door, I don't know if he was cultivating or dozing off, anyway, Lei Yu looked at him sleepy.

"May I ask the elder, we are new disciples, and Director Zhang Mingde asked us to come here to receive the items, but I don't know how to get them?", Lei Yu respectfully explained his intention.

"Give me your name," the man replied lazily.

"Lei Yu, Zhang Guangzu, I only came today", Lei Yu replied, "Elder's surname?", and added a question.

"The surname is Huang, Huang Bingqian, just call me Senior Brother Huang in the future", the man still looked lazy, and he didn't change anything because of their arrival.

"Hello Senior Huang, Director Zhang asked us to come here to collect the items", Lei Yu heard Elder Zhang say that Yujian cultivated to be called "senior" for those who were higher than them, so he called out politely.

Senior Brother Huang glanced at the two of them formally, didn't say a word, took out a piece of black and swarthy material from under the table, threw it into the air, and made a complicated handprint with both hands on the material, and two brand-like things jumped in the air in front of him, threw the remaining materials back under the table, and kept playing air currents in his palms against the cards in mid-air. After a while, I saw a flash of light melt into the card, and then with a wave of his hand, two brown brands appeared in the hands of Lei Yu and Zhang Guangzu respectively.

"This is your identity card, drop a drop of blood on it, and the contribution value is also recorded in it."

According to what Senior Brother Huang said, Lei Yu pierced his finger and dripped blood on the identity card, and the blood fell on the card and disappeared at once, and Lei Yu suddenly had a feeling of being connected with the flesh and blood of the brand, as if the identity card was a part of his body, which felt weird. Looking at Elder Huang in confusion, he must be used to seeing this kind of gaze, so he smiled indifferently and did not answer.

Lei Yu had seen the brand on the master's body, and now he knew that this was the master's identity card in the sect. I secretly made a comparison in my heart, and there were only three words "Changshengmen" on the front of my identity card, and there were a few zigzag lines, and the name was on the back. There is a big difference between the material and weight and the master's.

The management of the sect's disciples is the management of contribution value, and anything in the sect is measured by the contribution value, and the individual's contribution value to the sect is determined according to the level of cultivation. Of course, the sect also provides some basic job opportunities, so that new and low-level outer disciples can earn basic contribution points that can make a living.

"You go to the side to see the notice first, and then come back to exchange for what you need", Senior Brother Huang added lightly after handing them the sect identity card, and then lowered his head and took a nap again.
