Chapter 109 Water Margin Fantasy
The sect's lively recruitment of disciples lasted less than a month.
The disciples of Emei and Qingcheng sects did not even leave Shu. They recruited enough disciples locally and returned to their respective mountains, making the players from other regions very angry.
Afterwards, someone counted on the official website and found that only less than a hundred people were selected into the sect in this round.
It's very confusing.
Why does such a large sect only recruit so few new disciples?
The answer to the mystery was soon revealed after those lucky ones arrived at their respective sects and settled down - the so-called three major sects were nothing more than an empty shell.
Take the Emei School as an example.
Among the older generation, except for the headmaster Miaoyi Zhenren Qi Shuming, the three immortals and two elders Xuan Zhenzi, Kuxing Toudao, Bai Guyi, and Miaoyi’s wife Xun Lanyin are all gone.
Those who will ascend will ascend, and those who will disintegrate will disintegrate.
Among the younger generation, only Zhuge Jingwo and Yue Wen are left among the four male disciples, only Qin Ziling is left among the four female disciples, and only Li Yingqiong, Yu Yingnan, Zhou Qingyun, and Qi Lingyun are left among the three Yings and two Yuns.
The rest, such as Laughing Monk, Qi Jinchan, Deng Bagu, Yi Jing, Yan Renying and others, all died.
The Emei Sect, which was once full of talented people, has lost most of its members.
The remaining disciples are all newcomers who have been hatched internally over the past hundred years. Many of them are descendants of mortals who had previously entered the mountains to seek refuge. There are very few who have superior qualifications and are unable to take on important tasks.
If the Emei Sect is in such a state, the Qingcheng and Wudang Sects are even more miserable. The only famous people left in the Qingcheng Sect are the headmaster Zhu Mei and two disciples Ji Deng and Tao Jun.
The Wudang Clan is not much different.
It is no wonder then why the three major sects have ended their mountain closure and are going out to recruit disciples.
If you don't accept any more disciples, the inheritance will be broken!
As for why they didn't accept more new disciples, it was naturally because the mountain had been closed for a hundred years, and the internal cultivation resources had been exhausted and could not support the cultivation of too many new disciples.
It's really a helpless move.
The only good news is that after being closed for a hundred years, the disciples who stayed behind have become top-notch people. According to a disciple of the Emei Sect, Li Yingqiong has already reached the Nascent Soul stage.
Very scary.
As long as time passes and there are players continuously recruiting as disciples, the three major sects will surely rise again.
…
Blackwater City.
After reading the sect information collected from the Internet, Qin Mo's face was uncertain.
fine!
The three major sects were not at their peak, otherwise, the power of the Emei Sect alone would be enough to determine the change of secular dynasties.
In that case, what is the point of having player lords?
The three major sects have suffered serious injuries, so the first thing they must do is to restore the sect to its former glory. They will pay much less attention to the secular world, which gives Qin Mo a chance to overtake.
Time has always been his biggest enemy.
There has also been good news about Blackwater City recently. With the continued influx of former Yellow Turban troops, three days ago, the population of Blackwater City successfully exceeded the 300,000 mark and was unexpectedly promoted to a small city.
Qin Mo also successfully gained 300,000 experience points, laying the foundation for his second Dan formation.
The next stage of medium-sized cities requires a city population of no less than 120,000 and a total population of no less than 1.2 million, which is really impossible to achieve with the Three Kingdoms subcontinent alone.
We can't empty the Three Kingdoms.
After Blackwater City was promoted to a small city, the original territory panel changed drastically.
[Territory]: Blackwater City (small)
Population: 300,000/1.2 million
[Resource]: Black and White Mountain (low-quality treasure land, to be developed)
[Experience Pool]: 100 points
The new panel is simpler, but reveals a lot of information.
First, the Heavenly Dao clearly reminded Qin Mo that the Black and White Mountain was a treasure land. It might have richer spiritual energy, or it might contain rare spiritual medicines, or even spiritual stone mines and rare mineral veins.
It’s just that Qin Mo’s vision is short and he has not yet developed this precious land.
The second is the newly added [Experience Pool].
Click it and detailed instructions will appear.
Small cities will generate 100 experience points every day, which will be used as the city's construction fund and as a reward for the lord when issuing tasks to the outside world.
Although 100 points are few, the key is that they can be accumulated, and in a year you can get 36,500 experience points.
Still very impressive.
It’s a pity that as a lord, Qin Mo can only issue tasks but cannot accept them.
Obviously, this is a benefit for non-lord players. The lord gets the lion's share when the territory is promoted, so naturally he has to leave some for the players in the territory.
This shows the fairness of heaven.
Moreover, for every task issued by the lord, Tiandao will evaluate it to determine the reward amount to prevent the lord from cheating and "giving away" experience points to close people for free.
For example, by issuing a simple errand task, you can give away a year's accumulated experience points.
After closing the panel, Qin Mo fell into deep thought.
He didn't really care about the newly emerged [Experience Pool].
Given the current size of Blackwater City, there aren't really any missions that require players to take action, so they can only be put aside for now. Experience points can be accumulated anyway.
However, the development of Black and White Mountains was put on Qin Mo's agenda.
When he killed the black and white monsters last time, he sensed that the spiritual energy around the Windless Cave was obviously much richer. It was a good place for cultivation, and he could build a villa nearby.
But according to the heaven's suggestion, Black and White Mountain will never be that simple.
Thinking of this, Qin Mo stood up and left the study, left the City Lord's Mansion, and went to the ancestral temple to pay homage to the great wizard.
Although he is a lord, he is still a "junior" in front of the great wizard. If there is anything, he cannot just summon the great wizard to the city lord's mansion.
That's so rude.
With the entry of civil servants such as Jia Xu and Xun Yu into the City Lord's Mansion, the government affairs of Blackwater City have been transferred from the great wizard Ji Ye to the City Lord's Mansion.
The great wizard suddenly became free.
But this does not affect the Great Wizard's status in Blackwater City. Regardless of the Great Wizard's cultivation level in the Qi Refining Period, even the introductory training of Jia Xu, Xun Yu and others still requires the guidance of the Great Wizard.
How dare you neglect it?
"You want to develop the Black and White Mountains? " After hearing Qin Mo's intention, the great wizard Ji Ye was very surprised.
Qin Mo nodded: "That is a precious land, there is no reason to waste it."
"Yes." A trace of reminiscence flashed in the eyes of the great wizard, and he said slowly: "Our ancestor Heishui also wanted to practice in the Black and White Mountains, but they were occupied by monsters and he regretted it for the rest of his life."
"How do you plan to develop it?" asked the great wizard.
Qin Mo said: "In addition to building a training courtyard in front of the Windless Cave, we should also adopt protective picking of the spiritual herbs in the Black and White Mountains. If conditions permit, it would be best to transplant them together and build a medicine garden or something.
"Then we need to survey the mountain to see if there are any mineral veins so that we can arrange for people to mine them."
If what Qin Mo said were really implemented, then Black and White Mountain would almost be equivalent to laying the foundation for a small sect of cultivation. I wonder how many people would envy it.
" Leave all this to me." The great wizard volunteered.
Last time, Shi Yuzhu of the Wudang Sect came to Blackwater City to recruit disciples, but Qin Mo refused on the spot. The great wizard knew about it and felt very sorry for Qin Mo and that he had hindered Qin Mo's future.
It's easy to imagine that with Qin Mo's qualifications, his future would be limitless if he went to a great sect like Wudang.
How can it be compared to a Blackwater City?
Because of this, the great wizard wanted to do his best to fulfill Qin Mo's request, just as some compensation.
"Of course I'll trouble you." Qin Mo smiled.
In terms of the ability to handle government affairs, let alone Jia Xu, even the newcomer Xun Yu is several levels better than the great wizard. However, when it comes to handling matters related to spiritual practice, the great wizard must step in.
Why build a medicine garden when Jia Xu and other cultivation rookies can't even recognize all the spiritual herbs?
After giving the instructions, Qin Mo was about to leave when he heard a reminder voice, "The Water Margin Fantasy Land will be opened tomorrow. Players at the Qi Refining Stage and above can go and explore on their own. The time limit is one month."
"Is it a fantasy?"
Qin Mo suddenly became interested.
