Tian Xuan narrowed his eyes and doesn't recognize the man. He is definitely not Bei Xiang that he is targeting but the man is obviously targeting Wu Xian.
He ignored the man and decided to continue the ceremony.
He explained five simple rules of the sect.
"First, respect the above, protect the beneath, compete with your peer.
Second, if you want to settle a problem, choose the least aftermath consequence to settle it. If not, just let other people settle it for you.
Third, each time you want to head to the town, register through the advisor or dormitory warden. Even if it is an emergency situation, inform one of them or you will be punished according to sect law.
Fourth, unless you have a teacher or a person above Martial Emperor realm in your group, never use the spiritual stone to buy things in the 1-9 tier kingdom. Do not use high tier spiritual stone to buy things in the Conferred Empire.
Five, only residents and those above outer student can live outside of dormitory.
Those that refuse to follow this rule will be punished accordingly."
Tian Xuan took a deep breath before continuing, "Another matter which is not really a rule but killing is forbidden whether outside or inside of the sect except if you have a soul jade, or if the other people injured you severely or the people leaves no path for you to retreat or the target is part of devil tribe. Only then you are allowed to kill them if the situation matched what I said.
As for the other normal cultivator, you are allowed to destroy the other people cultivation core but forbidden from killing them."
It is really simple and easy to follow but the last one, they wondered why Tian Xuan said it when they have heard that Wu Xian killed the Shao's genius. Could it be that Tian Xuan gave Wu Xian a soul jade?
When that thought passed in the people mind, their eyes widened as if they see a ghost.
Just how rich is Tian Xuan to be able to give out soul jade so easily?
A soul jade is equivalent to one hundred high tier spiritual stone. It is used by the Conferred Empire to store lord rank devil soul to cultivate a spiritual item.
However, when they heard the continuation of his words, they agreed to follow what Tian Xuan said.
Although killing is forbidden, it is not as bad as destroying other people cultivation core. One would feel their soul torn apart and will live as a crippled person or at most an ordinary people for the rest of their life.
They don't know the reason Tian Xuan put the last rule is to restrict them from killing someone carelessly to flaunt strength. He is trying to prevent this from happening even by careless mistake because only devil tribe or someone who affiliate with the devil tribe will do such a thing.
Soul jade is incredible precious even in Conferred Empire Tian Xuan is not going to waste it.
In truth, Tian Xuan had a possession of five soul jades, five hundred high tier spiritual stone, one million middle tier and three hundred million low tier spiritual stones. Totaling, five soul jades, and thirty thousand and five hundred high tier spiritual stones.
He obtained the high tier and middle tier spiritual stones through quest while the low tier spiritual stone he acquired is from selling material and crafted items he made to the system shop.
Ever since he found out that ever since the universal system gifted the spiritual lake, the small world had the high condensed spiritual energy he had been curious whether or not he could cultivate spiritual stones in the small world. So, he asked Tian Qiu.
Tian Qiu was excited when Tian Xuan asked about it because there is a Saint tier item that matched what Tian Xuan is asking for.
So, despite Tian Xuan oddly stinginess to buy things for himself, he bought three spiritual root that is one thousand middle tier spiritual stone each. He also bought another two spiritual lakes and let Tian Qiu manage the lakes.
For a saint item, there's no doubt that it is an outrageously expensive item.
Even Tian Xuan's God Tier, the arc of platinum sword only cost a high tier spiritual stone
But it does worth the value because the lakes are already producing spiritual stones at a fast pace and then when the universal system upgraded the lakes, it became even faster.
If before, the rate of producing one high tier spiritual stone would be every ten minutes, now, it became about three thousand low tiers per thirty seconds, one hundred middle tiers per minute and one high tier spiritual stone per minute in one lake.
In one day, he will get at least nine thousand five hundred and four high tier spiritual stones after compiling the low tier and middle tier with the high tier spiritual stones from all three lakes and exchanging all of them into high tier spiritual stones.
He exchanged six hundred high tier spiritual stone to six soul jades. Since Soul Jade is also a currency, he could exchange them in the bank system. From one thousand and one hundred high tier spiritual stone, he is left with only five hundred high tier spiritual stone.
After he has explained everything that he wanted to explain, he allowed the people to ask him questions.
A middle-aged man pondered a bit before asking. "Esteemed Lord Tian, is it true that residents have the same ranks as the other resident or not?"
Tian Xuan already expected they would be asking for that. He shook his head and answered the question casually.
"Of course, not. The residents still need to distinguish between the master and servant rank among themselves but in the eyes of the sect, every resident is the same. You will still have to respect the outer student and above ranks inside the sect."
The middle-aged man has a son that was accepted by Tian Xuan into the sect and that boy's family was allowed to follow along to live in the sect. However, he is used to be a master in the Wu Clan so he thinks that it will be detrimental to their daily lives if they no longer have servants to work under them.
The man bowed and cupped his fist after learning that his worries are not credible.
"Esteemed leader, can the student set up a shop?" a girl asked while smiling cheerfully.
"We will be living in a huge mountain so it is possible to set up shop. However, you have to register through an advisor and they will determine whether your shop is suitable to be opened or not." Tian Xuan gets an idea and curved his eyes into a smile as he continued to speak.
"However, the outer students can only set up a small booth. The inner student can choose to rent a space in the shopping center building that will be set up on the mountain. Students are allowed to hire another student to work or share a partnership. Have I answered your question yet, Chiyun Er?"
The girl giggled and nodded. She cupped her fist and spoke respectfully. "Thank you, Esteemed Leader, for clearing up Chiyun's doubt."
The girl is one of the Wu Clan servants that he accepted into the sect. Her bubbly personality and optimistic mindset surprised Tian Xuan so he chose to accept her.
Afterward, the girl took the courage to ask, the other disciples also started asking such as who is the other teacher aside from Li Yiyuan and Wu Xian. How to become a dormitory warden and how different is dormitory warden from the other students?
Tian Xuan took time to explain everything and when he has answered enough questions, he dismissed everyone while also reminding them to memorize the sect rules and takes the outer student's item from the advisor Wu Sheng.
At this moment, they felt the ground is shaking tremendously.
