Chapter 149

To tell the truth, everyone came from ordinary backgrounds, and no one looked down on anyone else. It was entirely normal that these disciples, hailing from all four corners and eight directions of the Nebula Continent, varied in wealth; some were rich while others were poor. However, the sect leader had long established a rule: regardless of appearance, regardless of wealth, anyone wishing to join the Zixiao Sect would be treated with absolute equality. Elder Feng could not possibly line his pockets by targeting penniless disciples if he wanted to embezzle a few Spirit Stones. Therefore, Elder Shen and Han Lin began keeping watch, determined to immediately report to the sect leader should any disciple be subjected to under-the-table extortion. Located three kilometers south of Zixiao Mountain in Bishui Town was a Spirit River, where the annual grand ceremony for new disciples to take a medicinal bath and forge their spiritual roots was held. New disciples from all seven sects had to come here to test their spiritual roots.
