After I became an immortal in Uchimaki, I went from being a loser to becoming a group favorite.

Chapter 292 Poverty

Xingyun lurked suspiciously at the entrance of the apprenticeship ceremony.

Today, the Qingcang Continent is holding a disciple recruitment ceremony. As a neighbor of the Qingcang Continent, the Xiaoyao Sect immediately decided to jump on the bandwagon.

After all, the Xiaoyao Sect has been struggling to recruit disciples for decades, and now it has very few disciples and desperately needs fresh blood.

So every time someone walked out looking dejected, he would eagerly go up and invite them.

"Fellow Daoist, seeking apprenticeship? The Qingcang Sect is too difficult, isn't it? Come to our Xiaoyao Sect! It's right next to the Qingcang Sect, sharing the resources here. There aren't as many strict rules and regulations, and it's much freer than the Qingcang Sect. Most importantly, everyone is treated equally, regardless of their spiritual root level..."

However, despite his best efforts, he always received either "Never heard of it" or "Stop bothering me."

This did not discourage him.

Back then, his spiritual root level was low, and he was rejected by all the sects he had joined, except for the Xiaoyao Sect, which took him in.

That's how he joined the Free and Unfettered Sect.

Joining the Free and Unfettered Sect was the best decision he had ever made in his cultivation journey.

He believed that there must be cultivators like him who lacked talent but still wanted to cultivate, and who ultimately chose to join the Free and Unfettered Sect.

"Fellow Daoist, please wait! Fellow Daoist, is your spiritual root level not high enough? No problem, the Free and Unfettered Sect welcomes you to join us. Regardless of your spiritual root level, we treat everyone equally!"

I thought this recruitment attempt would be met with another rejection, but to my surprise, the woman who had been walking briskly suddenly stopped and turned around.

"Regardless of the level of spiritual roots?"

Xingyun then realized that the woman was extremely beautiful and charming, with a flamboyant and bewitching beauty emanating from her.

That shouldn't be... How come I didn't notice it just now?

However, before she could even think, Xingyun was already feeling a bit apprehensive.

How could such a beautiful woman be rejected by other sects?

"Uh...yes, yes, yes! And there aren't many rules and regulations, it's very free."

He hesitated before saying what he had said countless times before.

"No strict rules and regulations, yet everyone is treated equally?" Meng San nodded, finding it increasingly interesting.

Moreover, it is close to the Qingcang Sect and located on the Qingcang Continent, so its sources of information must be quite reliable.

"Do I need to take a test?" she asked.

"Huh?" Xingyun, who had thought she had failed again, suddenly perked up and said, "No need, no need! Uh... but there is a small problem."

"What's the problem?"

"Are you afraid of heights?" Xingyun asked cautiously.

“Of course I’m not afraid.” Meng San shook her head, then asked with a hint of doubt, “Is your sect located very high up?”

Xingyun nodded. "It is a bit high."

Meng San is curious.

How tall can it be? Could it be... built in a tree?
In no time at all, they knew how high it was.

The Xiaoyao Sect is indeed very close to the Qingcang Sect; so close that it only took a few steps before they arrived.

Meng San looked left and right, but still could only see a large expanse of forest.

It wasn't until Xingyun pointed that she saw a small piece of land, shaped like an inverted three-sided cone, floating in mid-air, dozens of meters above her head.

"This is..." Meng San covered her brow bone with her hand to shield herself from the glaring sunlight, momentarily stunned.

"Your sect is built in mid-air?"

"That's right!"

This time, Xingyun replied with great confidence, "Please come with me, young lady."

As they flew through the air on their swords, the closer they got to the land, the more they heard human voices.

"Senior Brother Xingyun has brought a new disciple!"

"really?"

"Take me to see this quickly!"

"And she's a female disciple!"

A dozen or so disciples stood on the ground and shouted excitedly when they saw Meng San.

Such a scene... was truly unprecedented. Meng San felt somewhat embarrassed, as if he had come to take on a disciple rather than to become an apprentice.

She landed on the ground amidst the expectant gazes of the crowd.

"This is Miss Lingchan, she will be our junior sister from now on!"

Junior sister...

Before I could even get used to the way she was addressed, a bunch of people surrounded me, chattering away and vying to speak.

"Junior sister, you are so beautiful!"

"Junior Sister, are you hungry? The food at the Free and Unfettered Sect is quite good, let's go eat together!"

"Junior sister, why don't you live with me? I don't snore when I sleep!"

Meng San: "..."

Meng San was quite uncomfortable with everyone's enthusiastic attitude. After finally managing to deal with them, she moved into her own room under Xing Yun's guidance.

Along the way, I saw that although the sect was poorly furnished, it was clear that its economic strength was indeed insufficient. Fortunately, there were not many disciples and there was an empty room, so Meng San was able to have his own private space.

In the past, she wouldn't have cared who she lived with, because she could adapt quickly and remain undisturbed no matter who she lived with.

However, that's not possible now.

Now she needs her own private space even more.

Moreover, perhaps due to age, compared to her previous boisterous and group-like behavior, Meng San now prefers to spend her time alone.

She took out a set of tools that Tang Lingshi often used to make pills, wanting to figure out something new for herself.

During the hundreds of years in the secret realm, in the intervals between reincarnations, she also liked to ponder things whenever she had free time.

Moreover, judging from the widespread use of the telescopic mirror, the current cultivation world is very different from that of five hundred years ago.

Perhaps some of the elixirs she diligently developed have already become obsolete with the times.

Really interesting.

Monotony is boring; Meng San loves change.

So she rubbed her hands together, eager to do some more research and development.

Unfortunately, before I could even enjoy some private time, there was a knock on the door.

"Junior Sister!"

As I opened the door, a sweet-looking girl with chubby cheeks stood outside, smiling broadly. "Let's go eat together!"

Meng San remembered that this was the girl who had just said the food here was good.

Since I've decided to stay here for a while, it's essential to integrate into the environment.

“Okay!” Meng San readily agreed.

The food at the Xiaoyao Sect was very ordinary.

Moreover... it's nowhere near as good as Song Nan's cooking skills.

Because as soon as she sat down and took her first bite, she began to miss Song Nan's cooking.

She wasn't so particular about food before.

There's no way around it; after hundreds of years in the secret realm, their tastes have become too refined.

Meng San can no longer accept ordinary food.

"Why aren't you eating, Junior Sister? All this food was grown by the Sect Leader himself; it's very fresh!"

The sect leader has to grow everything they eat himself...

It's obvious they're really poor.

"Our sect has always been like this, self-sufficient. Junior sister, don't worry. You're new here, we'll take care of you and make sure you do less farm work!"

Seemingly sensing Meng San's thoughts, another person at the table spoke up.

Although it was said that the two of them had made an appointment, a group of disciples from the Xiaoyao Sect began to gather around Meng San the moment he sat down.

There weren't many people from this sect, yet almost all of them sat at one table, with the rest sitting nearby.

Upon hearing this, they all expressed their willingness to help Meng San with her tasks, as if they were afraid that Meng San would leave.

It must be said that although this sect is small, the disciples have a pretty good relationship.
