My brother is so cunning.

Cheng Ziwei wore an ugly orange employee vest over her Taoist robe. She squatted in front of the shelf, looking at the list of goods, taking out glass bottles from the cargo box, and restocking the display cabinet in the medical area.

She and her senior brother went down the mountain this time. Exploring the secret realm was secondary. The main purpose was to gain knowledge.

This job that allowed her to stay in the secret camp had a good salary and could also allow her to have more contact with practitioners. It coincided with the original intention of going down the mountain. The senior brother and sister discussed it and happily accepted it.

The little girl's work attitude was not correct. She was always a little absent-minded. After all, as a practitioner, such menial work was too boring. Mortals and puppets could do it. Why hire a cultivator to do it?

Because it was unreasonable, she even suspected that Wen Rui had some improper thoughts about her, so he used this job as bait to tie her to his side for the time being.

But she quickly dispelled this suspicion. Wen Rui hired more than just two monks from Qingcheng Sect. Many monks from small sects who could not afford the entrance fee to the secret realm were recruited as temporary workers by him and arranged to work in different positions in various shops in the market. For example, Senior Brother Li Yu worked as a guard at the door of the store.

The one who was in charge of the sorting work with her was a senior sister from Emei Sect. The two of them belonged to the same lineage of Shushan. They had many contacts in Shu before and could be considered acquaintances.

The senior sister from Emei Sect had much more experience in the world than she did. Cheng Ziwei learned from her senior sister that this kind of working model had become a routine.

Even many monks from small sects rushed to the secret realm that was about to be opened not to explore it, but to find a job in the market to earn some stable money.

The Chamber of Commerce would also hire monks to escort valuable goods and guard shops.

Money makes the world go round, and naturally it can also make monks go round. It is said that the highest level of monks hired by the Chamber of Commerce have reached the Mahayana stage, and it is unknown how high the commission was.

However, it is not necessarily true that the purpose of this boss Wen is simply to hire monks because he is short of manpower.

Cheng Ziwei has seen Wen Rui secretly ask every temporary worker many times:

"Are you interested in joining Jiejiao?"

"Let's find out. There are many benefits to joining Jiejiao. You will receive a novice gift package when you join the sect, with enough spirit stones and magic weapons for free."

"Hey, brother, you are also a good-looking person. If you join Jiejiao, I will introduce you to the beautiful sister of the Lishan Immortal Sect next door."

The last sentence was secretly said to his senior brother Li Yu, and he accidentally caught it on the spot. He was so embarrassed that he was about to refuse and half-heartedly flipped through the Lishan group beautiful picture album that Wen Rui took out and ran away with his face covered.

It can be seen that the lack of manpower to recruit monks is only one aspect of Boss Wen. Another purpose is to seduce young monks to switch to Jiejiao, and the means are even a bit despicable.

It’s a pity that his efforts were in vain. He threw his seductive eyes to the blind man. So far, Cheng Ziwei has never seen any monk agree.

This is not because the conditions proposed by Boss Wen are not good enough. Many hired monks have seen him solve the mystery of the heavenly way and earn five million spirit stones at the entrance of the secret realm. They know that the Taoist law inherited by the Jinling Sect is indeed something, and they also know that the Jinling Sect has been doing business for many years and has a lot of wealth.

Most of these hired monks come from small sects. Whether it is the inheritance of Taoism or the accumulated resources, they are definitely not as good as the "skinny camel is bigger than a horse" Jinling Sect.

But still no one is willing to defect to Jiejiao. This may be because Boss Wen secretly conducted a character investigation when hiring employees. Anyway, after contacting them, Cheng Ziwei did not find that there were villains with ulterior motives among her colleagues.

Recruiting traitors among a group of upright gentlemen, it would be a miracle if you could recruit them. Even Cheng Ziwei felt that Boss Wen's move was a bit too clever.

Wen Rui treated his employees with courtesy and never acted like a boss. He was also knowledgeable. What was even more surprising was that although he was only an ordinary person, he had a very good understanding of cultivation. When talking to him about the difficulties and problems encountered in cultivation, he could easily point out the key points and make reasonable suggestions.

Cheng Ziwei also liked to talk to Boss Wen, and she really got a lot of cultivation guidance from him. It was a pity that when it came to the most critical point, Boss Wen began to hide his shortcomings and hinted that if she was willing to join Jiejiao, the subsequent teaching content would be unlocked.

The response was of course a rejection. No matter how good the conditions were or how much inducement was offered, it would not shake her loyalty to Qingcheng Sect!

The girl still had a very positive outlook on life and knew that this was a matter of principle, especially for upright people who sincerely sought the Tao. Life could be lost, but the Taoism could not be messed up.

No matter how poor the Qingcheng Sect is, it is still our own sect. If you live in Qingcheng, you will be a Qingcheng ghost in death. You will never regret entering Qingcheng in this life.

Cheng Ziwei also knows a little about the inheritance of the major sects in the world of cultivation. The names of the sects are also particular. For example, why the Qingcheng Sect she belongs to is called a sect, and why the Jinling Sect is called a sect, there are very strict rules.

The leaders of the three religions are called ancestors, the direct descendants of the leaders are called sects, the branches of the same sect are called factions, the disciples of the same sect are called schools, and the mixed disciples of different sects are called gangs, associations, and alliances.

The Xuandu Grand Master under the seat of Laojun has never accepted disciples and has never established a direct immortal sect.

The human religion focuses on education and respects the creed of "water benefits all things without contention, inaction and pure observation of the world", does not seek to establish a foundation, and only passes down the Taoist scriptures.

The human cultivators who were fortunate enough to obtain the Taoist scriptures of the human religion passed down by Laojun spontaneously established sects and claimed to be the orthodox inheritance of the human religion.

The Qingcheng Sect, the Emei Sect, the Xuanyue Sect, the Laojun Mountain, the Qiyun Mountain, the Wuyi Sect... These sects of cultivation all belong to the Human Religion and all revere Laozi as their founder.

Ziyang Xianzong, Yuding Xianzong, Yunxiao Xianzong, Jinting Xianzong, Kongdong Xianzong, and Kunlun Xianzong were founded by the direct descendants of Jinxian of Chanjiao. Due to the outstanding realm of the founder of the sect, Chanjiao was very famous in the Conferred God Battle, and after the war, they were able to support the establishment of the Heavenly Court, so their power developed very rapidly.

Kongdong Xianzong and Kunlun Xianzong are superior to all the major sects, especially Kunlun Xianzong, which is the core Taoist temple of Yuanshi Tianzun Chanjiao, and no one dares to disobey his orders.

This time, only the four major Chanjiao Xianzongs of Ziyang, Yuding, Yunxiao, and Jinting participated in the exploration of the secret realm. The disciples of Kongdong and Kunlun did not even bother to join in the fun.

Looking at the world of cultivation, although there are many and diverse sects in the human sect, they are generally small sects with only dozens of disciples. Chanjiao has only six major immortal sects, but they are all giants with more than a thousand disciples.

The Lishan Immortal Sect and the Jinling Sect are called sects because the Wudang Holy Mother and the Jinling Holy Mother are the direct disciples of the Master of Tongtian. However, the declining Jinling Sect now has no immortals, so the word "immortal" cannot be added to the sect title.

The master of the Qingcheng Sect was a casual cultivator who accidentally obtained the inheritance of Laojun after the end of the Conferred God Tribulation. Compared with the major immortal sects, his foundation is too shallow, and he is not even sure whether he can get the official recognition of Laojun.

But even so, the small sects of the human religion also have the advantages of small sects, that is, they have strong cohesion, and the emotional ties between masters and disciples are much closer than those of large sects.
