“Didn’t you say you wanted to establish a sect? If we don’t recruit… Holy shit, you’re not planning to recruit any disciples, are you?” Lonemoon looked Shen Ying up and down, then pointed to the palace surrounded by Immortal Qi behind him. “If we won’t recruit disciples, why did you build such a freaking huge palace?”

After the Rabbit Monarch brought them to this spiritual peak, it brought a huge group of demon beasts to build the palace. Within mere months, the mountain which previously had nothing but spirit herbs suddenly had a palace built atop it. The palace looked far more magnificent than the one in which the Demon Monarch stayed.

“Isn’t it beautiful?” Shen Ying commented after she turned around to look at the beautiful palace.

“Beautiful your ass!” Lonemoon was outraged. “Don’t tell me that you had such a huge palace built just for the three of us?” Do you take yourself as an emperor? The palace is so huge that it’ll take two days just to walk one lap around it.

“It’s so troublesome to recruit disciples…”

“Heh heh heh…” Lonemoon laughed mirthlessly. “Since we won’t have any disciples, you’ll take care of all the cleaning and sanitation in the palace, okay?”

“…”

Two seconds later…

“Father Niu, I think you’re right! Shall we go and recruit some disciples now?” After saying this, she turned to glance at Yi Qing beside her, saying, “Chef, quickly pack up all of these pastries. We can have them as snacks on the way. Bring more ingredients as well so that we can have a picnic if we don’t make it back here in time.”

“Yes Master, no problem Master!”

“…” At the end of the day, all you’re concerned about is food!

Lonemoon had a clear plan in mind. It would be easy for them to nurture an entire sect using this land of spirit herbs.

Although there were only the three of them now and the road ahead looked difficult, Lonemoon had experience in managing a company of millions of workers. He was all too familiar with these matters. As for training in sorcery, both he and Yi Qing could handle it. They were Sword Cultivators after all—they could recruit disciples who were talented. While Lonemoon was proficient in array formations, Yi Qing was proficient in weapon refinement. They could pass down their skills if they found suitable disciples and they could also allow their disciples to pick up pill-refining and beast control on their own.

As for Shen Ying… she could focus on being a good lucky charm for them.

Lonemoon knew he had thought everything through. He had compiled a thick book of documents which detailed his plan. This compilation included manuals on how to train their disciples, how to improve the sect’s quality as a whole and how to expand the sect’s influence. In his mind, everything was in its place—it was fool-proof. All that was left was for the three of them to get to Upper Azure Town and set up their stand. The three of them proceeded to do all they needed to. Just as they were about to begin their recruitment drive, however, they met with a huge problem.

“What sect are you from?” asked a white-clothed young man innocently.

Lonemoon: “…”

Yi Qing: “…”

Shen Ying: “…”

Holy shit! We forgot to think of a name for our sect!

After a minute…

“Heh heh heh… Fellow Daoist, please give us a moment!”

Lonemoon’s face lost its color. He quickly set up a soundproof array and turned to his two companions. “Why didn’t you remind me that we hadn’t come up with a name?”

Shen Ying’s expression was one of nonchalance. “I thought you thought of one a long time ago.” Weren’t you the one who thought about recruiting disciples?

Yi Qing nodded in agreement. “I also thought Supremacy Niu had plans.”
