The rebellious Sect Leader.
Overbearing cultivation techniques.
Excellent elixirs.
Decent blessed lands.
Feasible forging methods.
So, generally, the sect leader of a sect is the most powerful, then slowly recruits disciples and gradually starts developing.
But Yuchi is different; he truly doesn't have any spirit root.
Others lack understanding; he lacks even a hint of it.
His talent is so lacking that it's shocking, "So I can only rely on the efforts of my disciples. I need to provide them with good accommodations."
"I must deeply understand that I came from among the disciples, and I shall go among them."
The previous cultivation technique is just an example.
It's not particularly powerful, just a Ninth Grade martial skill, capable of being cultivated to the peak of the Qi Cultivation Realm.
Yuchi exchanged one hundred taels of silver for a hundred Dao points, and other scattered small huts were purchased with a few Dao points.
So if Yuchi wants to develop the sect, he needs to invest a lot of Dao points and a lot of money.
"I am responsible for earning money, and they are responsible for cultivating."
"Clear division of labor."
Yuchi smiled wryly.
Actually, he also wants to cultivate, but to no avail; cultivation isn't his forte, born to toil.
"Although I am the third young master of the Wei Family, and the Wei Family is quite wealthy, I've thrown all my savings of a month into the sect."
"Now I've exchanged for a few thatched cottages and a book."
"During this time, I have to figure out a way to gather some more money."
"At the very least, I need to exchange for a blessed land."
Most sects have blessed lands.
Cultivating in a blessed land can accelerate cultivation speed, so with the catalysis of a blessed land, even slightly worse talent can be acceptable.
"Shen Qinghan has a Sixth Grade Fire Spirit Root, a sixth grade is already quite a perfect score, the worst is First Grade, the best is Ninth Grade."
"She is Sixth Grade, so if she hadn't been tricked by me, once discovered, she would definitely have joined a prestigious sect."
"So I need to treat her a little better."
"At least exchange for a cheap blessed land for her."
"Let me see, what's the cheapest blessed land?"
Yuchi checked the Immortal Stone in his mind.
"Flying Lotus Array," Ninth Grade blessed land, can increase cultivation speed by twenty percent, accommodates one Qi Cultivation Stage disciple for cultivation, requires consuming one thousand Dao points.
Yuchi remained silent for a while.
"That's one thousand taels of silver."
"Haha, my monthly pocket money is 1 tael of silver."
"The previous one hundred taels of silver were obtained by selling some personal items!"
Yuchi burst into tears.
Secretly thought in his heart, "Qinghan, Sect Leader Senior Brother treats you well, how do you plan to repay me in the future?"
Thinking, he glanced at the information on Shen Qinghan.
[Shen Qinghan, Second Stage of the Mortal Realm, Sect Affection: Sixty Percent.]
Yuchi nodded slowly, "I didn't expect she already broke through to the Second Stage of the Mortal Realm, and I felt my body, I also broke through to the Second Stage."
"And now she has sixty percent affection."
Affection is what Yuchi values most; he doesn't expect Shen Qinghan to stay completely in the Ascension Gate from the beginning.
That's unrealistic.
Affection increases slowly; once it increases to 100%, then betrayal will never happen.
This is Yuchi's basis.
If someone's character is too fierce, taking advantage of kindness, then it's someone who can't be kept.
"Shen Qinghan shouldn't be a problem; she now has sixty percent affection for the sect. With a little more nurturing, it can reach 100%!"
"I think it's because she's inexperienced with the world."
"Otherwise, if she had been to other sects, it wouldn't be easy to deceive her."
"..."
"Pah, why do I keep talking about deceiving."
"I'm doing this for her good; we at the Ascension Gate are the most formidable sect among millions in the Nine Provinces!"
"Other sects are all kinds of oppressive to disciples!"
"I want to be a competent Sect Leader!"
Yuchi temporarily dismissed these thoughts, as his immediate task was simple.
Get money.
Get money.
Still get money.
How to get money? Yuchi set his sights on some of his personal belongings.
He plans to pack up all these personal items and sell them. It should be possible to raise some funds.
At this moment, someone knocked on the door.
"Knock."
"Knock, knock."
Yuchi had no choice but to temporarily put his affairs down, open the door, and outside stood a familiar man.
The man had a scholarly aura and was named Wei Zhe, Yuchi's eldest brother, now helping their father with business.
He also had a second brother named Wei Fei, but Wei Fei was a typical wastrel, who even had a son outside.
"Third brother, Father has something to discuss with you." Wei Zhe said.
"Alright." Yuchi agreed.
...
The door to the discussion hall had already closed, and the atmosphere was somewhat oppressive.
Seated in the main position was a middle-aged man with graying hair, named Wei Xubing, who was Yuchi's father.
"Father, I brought the third brother here." Wei Zhe said.
"Okay, you can go busy yourself for now." Wei Xubing waved tiredly.
"Yes." Wei Zhe looked at Wei Xubing helplessly, then gave a glance of disappointment at Yuchi.
He left the discussion hall and lightly closed the door behind him.
"Father." Yuchi sensibly called out.
"Mmm, I called you here for three things, listen to what I have to say."
Yuchi slowly nodded, having the impression that his father was never this serious, usually treating the three brothers well.
But what's happening today?
"First thing, don't think about the girl from the Qi Family anymore. They've severed relations with us, and your engagement is annulled."
As the third young master of the Wei Family, even though he didn't have any cultivation, his status was here, thus having a betrothed.
But as for who this fiancée was or what she looked like, he didn't know.
It didn't matter much; he wasn't interested in such trivial matters for now.
It's just a girl, right? Couldn't he find one from his own sect later?
Yuchi nodded slowly.
"Second thing, don't wander around the town recently; there's a gang in town causing trouble." Wei Xubing continued.
The Wei Mansion is located in Xufu Town, a large town with a permanent population of over one hundred thousand.
Of course, there are many large mansions, and gangs proliferate, making various matters rather troublesome.
This is due to Yuchi being the third young master, so he hasn't seen the slums and naturally doesn't know the ruthless side of Xufu Town.
Yuchi still nodded.
"Third thing, take some money to redeem someone; your second brother's been caught in debts at the casino, amounting to two thousand taels of silver. Take it, redeem him, and come straight back without doing anything on the way. The Wei Mansion has me and your eldest brother. I'll find a teacher for you later on to learn some culture, to not end up without a meal in the future."
After Wei Xubing finished speaking, he seemed to have aged a few years.
Yuchi felt uneasy; he wanted to say something, but Wei Xubing waved his hand, indicating he could leave.
No choice.
Yuchi could only take leave. Just as he walked out, his eldest brother Wei Zhe stood nearby and quietly said, "Third brother, I hope you won't become like the second brother one day."
"I won't," Yuchi promised.
He took the two thousand taels of silver and left.
Two thousand taels, what concept is that?
Yuchi didn't know before, but now he knows; one tael of silver is one thousand wen, roughly equivalent to a thousand yuan in his previous life, so two thousand taels amount to what?
That's two million!
Did Wei Fei actually lose two million? Is that even human?
Yuchi was shocked. He hadn't been in this world long, and he didn't know about this matter.
As for why he was asked to redeem the person, the reason was simple: this second brother had a bad relationship with everyone else, but got along well with Yuchi.
Only he could persuade him back.
And Yuchi?
He casually bought a knife on the roadside.
