397: Paying salaries

Looking at the group of people respectfully waiting for him to speak, Jiang Chen was not in a hurry to lecture them.

Instead, he took a sip of the enlightenment tea that Liu Shu handed to his mouth, moistened his throat, and then said faintly to the crowd, "Your ability to pass the test and join my Qingtian Sect shows that you are all loyal individuals. As long as you serve the Sect well, even if you Ascend to the Immortal Realm in the future, the Sect will still be your backing!"

"However, upon entering my Qingtian Sect, you must abide by my Qingtian Sect's rules. If any of you violate them, you will be severely punished without leniency!"

After Jiang Chen finished speaking, he coldly swept his gaze over everyone.

Although these people didn't state their purpose for joining the Qingtian Sect,

Anyone who wasn't a fool knew that these people were drawn by the Qingtian Sect's Immortals and its influence in the Immortal Realm.

After all, for these Great Emperors, only things related to the Immortal Realm could move their hearts.

And although he didn't have any power in the Immortal Realm yet, with the System in hand, establishing the Qingtian Sect in the Immortal Realm after Ascension would only take minutes, so promising these people things after Ascension to the Immortal Realm was not an empty promise.

As soon as Jiang Chen's words fell, the Yellow-Robed Elder and his group immediately knelt down again, kowtowing to Jiang Chen and shouting, "We respectfully obey Sect Master's decree! We humble ones will definitely abide by the Sect rules and serve the Sect until death!"

"Alright, all of you may rise!"

Jiang Chen nodded and looked at Li Big Saber, "Big Saber, take them to familiarize themselves with the Sect, arrange their positions, and also issue their emoluments."

"Yes, Sect Master!"

Li Big Saber bowed in acceptance of the order, then turned to the now standing Yellow-Robed Elder and his group, saying, "Everyone, please follow me."

"We humble ones take our leave!" The Yellow-Robed Elder and his group bowed to Jiang Chen again before slowly exiting the Main Hall, following Li Big Saber.

On the Qingtian Sect Plaza.

Li Big Saber led the Yellow-Robed Elder and his group to a halt here.

Li Big Saber took out hundreds of Immortal Crystals from his Storage Space, divided them into dozens of portions, and flew them in front of the group, saying, "Everyone, before you Ascend to the Immortal Realm, the Sect will issue Immortal Crystal emoluments to you periodically. This is your emolument for ten days. Every ten days from now on, you can come to This Elder to collect it."

"Thank you, Grand Elder!"

Looking at the ten Immortal Crystals floating before them, the Yellow-Robed Elder and his group excitedly thanked Li Big Saber, then quickly grabbed the Immortal Crystals and put them into their Storage Rings.

One must know that they had lived for tens of thousands of years, and the most they had ever obtained was just over a hundred Immortal Crystals.

Now, having just joined the Qingtian Sect and not even having started working, they had already received ten Immortal Crystals. This was unimaginable in the past.

"Don't thank me, thank Sect Master. Everything in the Qingtian Sect belongs to Sect Master, and the Immortal Crystals in your hands also belong to Sect Master." Seeing the Yellow-Robed Elder and his group all thanking him, Li Big Saber quickly waved his hand to stop them.

As Jiang Chen's loyal Subordinate, he couldn't steal Jiang Chen's benevolence. He had to constantly remind these Great Emperors who had been recruited, letting them know whose food they were eating.

After Li Big Saber's reminder, the Yellow-Robed Elder and his group all bowed in unison towards the Main Hall, shouting, "Thank you, Sect Master!"

"Alright, continue to follow me. After This Elder familiarizes you with the Sect, I will arrange your positions."

Seeing the Yellow-Robed Elder and his group thanking the Main Hall, Li Big Saber nodded in satisfaction and motioned for everyone to head towards the Mission Hall and Cultivation Method Hall to begin familiarizing themselves with the Qingtian Sect.

As the group closely followed Li Big Saber's steps, they soon arrived at their first destination, the Qingtian Sect's Cultivation Method Hall.

"Everyone, this is my Qingtian Sect's Cultivation Method Hall. This hall encompasses everything, containing countless Emperor-Grade Cultivation Methods, Immortal Rank Cultivation Methods, and Divine Rank Cultivation Methods. It is the foundation upon which my Qingtian Sect was established." Upon arriving at the Cultivation Method Hall, Li Big Saber pointed to it and introduced it.

"Hiss, countless Immortal Rank and Divine Rank Cultivation Methods?" Hearing Li Big Saber's introduction, the dozens of Yellow-Robed Elders all gasped, their faces filled with bewilderment.

Although they had never Cultivated Immortal Rank Cultivation Methods, they had heard of them and knew that these were the Cultivation Techniques used by Immortals in the Immortal Realm.

Since the Qingtian Sect had an Immortal Realm background, it was not surprising that there were Immortal Rank Cultivation Methods in the Sect.

But as for Divine Rank Cultivation Methods, they hadn't even heard of them, let alone Cultivated them.

"G-Grand Elder, what level of Cultivation Technique is this Divine Rank Cultivation Method?" The Yellow-Robed Elder stammered a bit, being the first to ask.

As soon as the Yellow-Robed Elder asked, the other Great Emperors also recovered their senses, looking at Li Big Saber with anticipation, hoping he would provide an answer.

After all, judging by the order of Li Big Saber's introduction, this Divine Rank Cultivation Method was probably above Immortal Rank Cultivation Methods.

"Hehe!"

Looking at the bewildered group, Li Big Saber smiled and said, "This Divine Rank Cultivation Method is a Cultivation Technique that is many, many times more powerful than Immortal Rank. All who can Cultivate Divine Rank Cultivation Methods are Prodigies of my Qingtian Sect."

"Hiss, many, many times more powerful than Immortal Rank Cultivation Methods?"

As Li Big Saber's words fell, the Yellow-Robed Elder and his group all gasped, revealing expressions of horror.

Although they were mentally prepared for Divine Rank Cultivation Methods to be stronger than Immortal Rank Cultivation Methods, Li Big Saber's statement that it was 'many, many times' stronger truly startled them.

One must know that Immortal Rank Cultivation Methods were already something unattainable in their eyes.

Now, this Divine Rank Cultivation Method was even more powerful than Immortal Rank Cultivation Methods by so much; they truly couldn't imagine how monstrous those who Cultivated Divine Rank Cultivation Methods must be.

"Alright, everyone, I brought you here not only to introduce the Cultivation Method Hall but also to let you choose Cultivation Techniques. Everyone who joins my Qingtian Sect gets one opportunity to enter the Cultivation Method Hall."

"As for what Cultivation Technique you can obtain, that depends on your fortune."

Seeing the dozens of Yellow-Robed Elders standing stunned, Li Big Saber spoke up to remind them.

"What! We can also go in and choose Cultivation Techniques?"

The Yellow-Robed Elder and others, still in shock, exclaimed in disbelief upon hearing Li Big Saber's words, staring at him.

After all, they had just joined the Qingtian Sect, and Li Big Saber giving them Immortal Crystals was already a huge benefit.

Now, to actually let them choose Cultivation Techniques from a Cultivation Method Hall that possessed Immortal Rank and Divine Rank Cultivation Methods, was truly too unexpected.
