According to Yu Tan.
Their sect… no, the Lotus Jade Pendants of the current style from the White Lotus Sect were actually designed by their current sect leader.
And those with gold trimmings were issued by the previous sect leader.
The current leader advocates thriftiness; the pendants of the previous design were too costly and excessively lavish, so they were phased out.
Generally speaking, those who still use this kind of Lotus Jade Pendant are the earlier followers of the White Lotus Sect.
After hearing this, Mingshu stared at the two jade pendants in her hand and fell into thought, "So your sect leader, ah no, the current leader of whatever White Lotus Sect, really has ingrained frugality into his bones."
How much silver could this mass-produced jade pendant even spend?
And then to gloriously claim the promotion of thriftiness, only fooling those fanatical and mindless believers.
