Pay to Cultivate Immortality? My Sect is Completely Free - Chapter 57

Chapter 57: Strength Further Enhanced, Fortune Transformed into a Golden Dragon

Su Bai was unaware of the Lingxiao Sect’s reaction, and even if he knew, he wouldn’t care. What he was aware of was that the Heavenly Dao Sect had rapidly developed.

Now, seven days had passed since the beginning of the month, which meant it had been seven days since the last distribution of silver at the end of the previous month.

Atop the mountain, Su Bai observed his disciples, watching them practice their cultivation and engage in their various tasks, his eyes filled with satisfaction.

With nearly a thousand disciples, Heavenly Dao Mountain was already overcrowded; the area surrounding the sect at the base of the mountain had been filled with new houses built by the disciples.

“Right now, it’s still manageable, but with the increasing number of disciples, the ten-mile radius might not be enough!” Su Bai murmured to himself, shaking his head.

Heavenly Dao Sect needed expansion! However, upgrading the sect required a Foundation Establishment disciple to emerge. Zhuge Feng still needed some time to reach Foundation Establishment; such matters couldn’t be rushed.

“Master, each sect disciple should have a specific uniform. I have designed a set of uniforms for the five generations of disciples of the Heavenly Dao Sect, with dozens of variations. Would you like to take a look?” Xiao Lingxi approached and handed Su Bai a booklet.

Su Bai opened it to find it densely filled with drawings and styles of clothing, even including detailed measurements for shoes and socks. The five styles of uniforms for the five generations of disciples each had many modified versions!

Seeing this, Su Bai couldn’t help but look at Xiao Lingxi with appreciation.

“Not bad. A unified uniform enhances cohesion. So, which one do you think is the most suitable?” Su Bai asked.

“Hmm…” Xiao Lingxi flipped to the first page and said, “I’ve designed dozens of options, but I still feel that the first version looks the best. Master, take a look.”

“Disciples from the first generation, like Eldest Senior Brother, should wear golden brocade robes. Only then can they exhibit their temperament and be capable of leading the other disciples.”

“We, the second generation disciples, are fine with purple robes; third generation disciples can wear blue robes, fourth generation disciples green robes, and fifth generation disciples white robes.”

“There should be subtle differences in the attire of male and female disciples, and having different levels will also motivate the disciples to cultivate harder. Master, what do you think?”

After listening, Su Bai nodded slightly.

I have to say, Xiao Lingxi has indeed considered these matters quite comprehensively.

“Alright, let’s go with your design. You can handle the clothing; once it’s completed, I’ll reward you with fifty points.”

“First, customize ten thousand sets, distributing two sets to each disciple. They must be of high quality; if this isn’t enough, let me know.”

Su Bai said generously, waving his hand and handing a Storage Ring to Xiao Lingxi.

“Thank you, Master! I will definitely work hard to ensure your satisfaction!” Upon hearing this, Xiao Lingxi immediately showed a smile of joy, respectfully thanked him, and turned to leave with the Storage Ring.

Seeing her excited figure, Su Bai’s lips curled into a slight smile.

The Heavenly Dao Sect is becoming increasingly impressive!

Indeed, in just seven days, the scale of the Heavenly Dao Sect has expanded several times!

The number of disciples has increased from one hundred and seven to nearly a thousand!

On the first day of the month, twenty new disciples were recruited.

On the second day, twenty-two new disciples!

In the first two days, perhaps the news was delayed, so the increase seemed a bit less pronounced.

But as the news spread throughout every corner of Yunshui City, it exploded!

On the third day, sixty-eight new disciples!

On the fourth day, new disciples first broke the three-digit mark, reaching one hundred and two!

On the fifth day, the number reached one hundred seventy-two!

On the sixth day, it broke two hundred, reaching two hundred eighteen!

The seventh day was the most astonishing, achieving an incredible two hundred eighty-nine!

In the previous seven days, a total of one hundred two new disciples were welcomed.

With the news of distributing silver, during these seven days, an additional eighty to ninety-one new disciples joined!

Along with the disciples from the first seven days and Zhuge Feng and others, the Heavenly Dao Sect now has a total of nine hundred ninety-eight disciples!

Only two more to reach one thousand!

Over these seven days, the cultivation bases of the disciples have also improved significantly, which led to a boost in Su Bai’s strength once again!

【Disciple Information】

Number of disciples: 998

Ordinary people: 883 (there are too many, please check one by one)

Qi Refining First Layer: 108 (Zhang Goudan, Li Gousheng…)

Qi Refining Second Layer: 2 (Liu Tiezhu, Wang Ergou)

Qi Refining Third Layer: 2 (Xiao Yan, Ye Qingyao)

Qi Refining Fifth Layer: 1 (Mu Lingxian)

Qi Refining Sixth Layer: 1 (Xiao Lingxi)

Qi Refining Eighth Layer: 1 (Zhuge Feng)

After seven days, over a hundred disciples successfully refined their qi!

And nearly every disciple who successfully refined their qi seven days ago has advanced by one layer!

The one with the fastest improvement is still Mu Lingxian, who broke through two layers in just seven days, bringing her cultivation base close to Xiao Lingxi!

With so many new disciples and increased cultivation levels, Su Bai’s strength also rose correspondingly.

【Host】

Name: Su Bai

Age: 18

Realm: Foundation Establishment Fourth Layer

Items: Intermediate Grade Spirit Stones: 214, Lower Grade Spirit Stones: 56,348, Gold: over five million taels, Silver: sixty million taels

Foundation Establishment Fourth Layer!

A quantitative change leads to a qualitative change; with nearly one thousand disciples, the total strength has increased tenfold, not only breaking through the Foundation Establishment barrier but also reaching the Intermediate Stage of Foundation Establishment in one go!

At this rate, how far is the peak of Foundation Establishment?

Is the Golden Core Realm still out of reach?

As Su Bai gazed at the disciples, in a corner of Yunshui City, a crack in the void appeared, and a beggar emerged from within.

After the beggar appeared, his gaze turned toward the direction of the Heavenly Dao Sect.

In front of him were many buildings obstructing his view, making it impossible for ordinary people to see any trace of the Heavenly Dao Sect.

However, in his eyes, it seemed as if he ignored those buildings and saw Heavenly Dao Mountain several miles away.

It wasn’t just a casual glance; upon seeing it, the beggar was stunned.

On the Great Hall of the Heavenly Dao Sect, a colossal golden dragon was circling!

The golden dragon was vividly lifelike, exuding an aura of sacred majesty!

On the surface of the true dragon’s body, shimmering mists swirled around, resembling auspiciousness.

This golden dragon did not truly exist; it was merely a faint illusion, very delicate, but it carried an inexplicable aura of fortune!

Moreover, ordinary people cannot see this golden dragon at all; only those like him, who have comprehended the principles of Heaven and Earth, can witness its true form. What stunned the beggar was that, in this era, he could still see such a thing! He had almost forgotten how many years this thing had been gone from the world!

This auspicious golden dragon, many years ago, before he became a beggar, when he was still a passionate and spirited young man, he had also seen it before. However, when faith collapsed under irresistible forces, that fortune had long since vanished without a trace. He murmured to himself, his somewhat hoarse voice slowly emerging.

“Only when faith is concentrated to its utmost can that pure fortune transform into a golden dragon…”

“But under the tide of irresistible forces, how long can your sect hold on?”

P.S.: With the beginning of the second volume, the worldview is gradually expanding, and the sect is about to level up as it begins to compete with the Lingxiao Sect, the Imperial family, and the Yuntian Sect for supremacy in the Empire.
