Chapter 248: Changes in the Yue Kingdom (2)
"It's a pity that other places are not like the Yue Kingdom," someone said as they sighed, "If the places outside the Yue Kingdom were like this, this world would have peace."
It was a pity that they all knew that this was essentially impossible.
Hearing these people speak, Liu Yang thought to himself.
He had grown up within the Yue Kingdom, and he did not know much about the outside world.
However, from his seniors, he had heard of how difficult life had been in the past.
Those were truly hard times, when mortals' lives were like grass.
For an ordinary mortal like him to cultivate, that was essentially impossible.
This was why most people in his hometown were quite happy with their current lives.
In fact, many people were able to join the Flowing Cloud Sect, just like him.
None of this would have been possible in the past.
As they walked, Liu Yang told them of his identity and that he was going to join the Flowing Cloud Sect.
Immediately, the people around him became enthused and began to treat him much more respectfully.
As those gazes fell on his body, he felt quite warm inside and very pleased.
Within the Yue Kingdom, the Flowing Cloud Sect's disciples were very popular.
After those people found out about Liu Yang's identity, their attitudes immediately changed.
Of course, this did not mean that they were not friendly before, but they became much more so after.
As they headed towards the Flowing Cloud Sect, Liu Yang enjoyed all kinds of benefits.
On the way, he met some people and made some friends.
Those people were like him, cultivators reporting to the Flowing Cloud Sect.
During their travels, they naturally became quite close.
In the end, it took them a bit more than a month to finally reach their destination.
"This is the Flowing Cloud Sect?"
Standing on a small path and looking around, Liu Yang could not help but feel surprised.
Ahead, there were massive gates standing there, looking mighty and dignified.
The gates looked ordinary, but they had many runes engraved on them, which gave off faint golden glows that looked quite majestic.
Just by looking at the gates, Liu Yang and the other disciples felt quite awed.
They felt that they were not just looking at the entrance gates but a terrifying, secret treasure.
In actuality, this was indeed the case.
These gates had long since been refined by many of the Flowing Cloud Sect's Profound Understanding realm cultivators, causing those gates to receive a baptism.
Even if the gates' materials were ordinary materials, they were no longer ordinary gates but a priceless treasure.
Ahead, there were many Flowing Cloud Sect disciples hurrying about, receiving the new disciples.
There was someone ahead giving a talk about the Flowing Cloud Sect's history, as well as listing the current Sect Master's achievements.
Below, the new disciples listened enraptured, and Liu Yang was among them.
All of the disciples had their fists gripped tightly, seeming quite excited.
"What a man!" Liu Yang could not help but think to himself.
The stories of the Flowing Cloud Sect's past caused his blood to become heated, and he began to desire to rush onto a battlefield to fight for the Flowing Cloud Sect.
After the talk was over, someone led them into the Flowing Cloud Sect.
Following this, the official assigning began.
"Oi, where are you planning to go?" Liu Yang walked to a corner and heard a voice.
Hearing this, he paused before instinctively turning around.
Next to him was a young girl, a bitter look on her face.
The young girl only looked around 13 or 14 years old, and her head was tilted to the side as she spoke to Liu Yang.
"Where are you planning to go?"
"How about mining?" Liu Yang nodded and thought for a moment before replying.
"Mining…"
Hearing Liu Yang's words, the young girl thought earnestly for a moment before shaking her head, "That doesn't suit me. Look at this body of mine, how could I have the strength to mine? It would be better for me to go to the spirit garden to look after spirit plants. I just wonder how difficult it would be…"
Standing in front of Liu Yang, the girl muttered to herself.
Just like in the past, after disciples formally entered the sect, they would be sent to different areas to do all kinds of jobs.
Apart from some Core Disciples, this was the case for all disciples.
As such, the first thing that new disciples usually did was pick a place to work.
Some people enjoyed taking care of spirit grasses, so they worked as assistants for the cultivators at the spirit gardens.
Some enjoyed making talismans, so they went to do that.
Of course, some people did not know how to do anything and only had their body's strength.
For such people, there were not many choices available to them.
They would either have to request to go out and train or go mining—which was a very exhausting task.
"Apart from mining, what else can you do?" Liu Yang inwardly shook his head and asked softly.
