NOVEL NEXT chapter 1
Chapter 1: Chapter 1: The Revitalization of the Enchanting Sect Starting from Scratch
As the leader of a sect, one has to consider many things. He Youzhou, the newly appointed sect leader, deeply agreed with this.
“Zhi Shi, do you know what the most important thing is for revitalizing a sect?” He Youzhou, dressed in simple hemp clothing, sat cross-legged on a mat with closed eyes, and asked.
He was addressing his disciple, who was meticulously kneeling in front of him, attentively listening to his question.
The eighteen-year-old girl, dressed in a tight red and white floral dress, which accentuated every curve from her graceful upper body and slender waist to her delicate legs, was tightly wrapped in the outfit, showcasing perfect lines vividly. The asymmetrical red cloud patterns outlined a seductive charm.
However, this tight dress intentionally left her smooth belly exposed, as if deliberately highlighting this beauty.
Her white wolf-like hair fell over her right shoulder, and the light, flowing outer skirt was tied with red soft smoke fabric on her lower left side, adding a touch of elegance to the girl.
Dressed in such vibrant yet refined attire, she was an otherworldly girl with white hair and red eyes.
The slanting sunlight outside the hall shone on her long silver hair, draped like cloud brocade.
Shoulders carved like a waist as pure as jade, skin like condensed fat exuding an orchid-like fragrance, if her faintly rosy lips curved slightly, it would be breathtakingly beautiful.
Perhaps just her standing there would be enough to arouse the latent conquest and possessiveness of male creatures.
Unfortunately, the girl was expressionless and did not smile.
“Money, endless wealth.” Zhi Shi replied expressionlessly.
“No, think again.” He Youzhou shook his head helplessly, rejecting Zhi Shi’s answer.
“Power, the ability to command millions of the Enchanting Sect, intimidate all righteous powers.” Zhi Shi furrowed her brows, thought seriously for a moment, and answered.
However, He Youzhou still shook his head, “Not quite right, keep thinking.”
“Talent, people-oriented.” Zhi Shi took a deep breath and answered, “As long as there are people, everything will follow.”
“Almost there, very close.” He Youzhou had an expression of teaching a child, “Be more specific.”
“We, the Tian Yan Sect, need talents, countless talents.” Zhi Shi said, “As the so-called Enchanting Sect, our most challenging aspect is finding disciples.”
“But as long as we have talents, we can attract more people in.” Feeling like she had grasped the key point, she continued, “This is what you, Master, usually refer to as the snowball effect.”
He Youzhou let out a breath of turbid air, “What we lack is indeed people.”
“But Zhishi, what we lack is not geniuses.” He slowly opened his eyes.
His drowsy eyes made him look as if he hadn’t fully woken up.
After meeting He Youzhou’s gaze, Zhishi didn’t continue speaking but waited for her master He Youzhou to give an answer.
“Beautiful girls.” He Youzhou uttered a word.
Zhishi listened to He Youzhou’s words without any change in expression, as if she was already used to it.
In her eyes, everything her master said was right.
She had tried to question her master before, but in the end, the facts always proved that she was the one who was wrong.
After all, it was her own dullness that prevented her from understanding her master’s intentions.
He Youzhou’s eyes were sharp, and he cast his gaze into the distance, completely changing from his previous tired state, “What our Tianyan Sect lacks are beautiful girls.”
“Yes.” Zhishi responded seriously, not finding her master’s words absurd at all.
“Those famous sects, whether they are evil sects or righteous sects, all have one characteristic.” He Youzhou said, “They absolutely have beauties, beautiful witches, and beautiful girls.”
This was mentioned in novels and comics, and he had observed the sects in the world and found it to be true.
“Is there any difference between the three, master?” Zhishi’s tone was calm, making it hard to know what she was thinking.
“Age, perhaps?” He Youzhou was a bit uncertain as he said this.
“We cultivators often look young, but are actually very old, master.” Zhishi reminded.
“Then beautiful girls it is.” He Youzhou found it reasonable and made a decision.
He looked deeply at Zhishi and said, “But Zhishi, you have only been cultivating for less than twenty years, don’t speak as if you are very old.”
“Zhishi was only referring to some people.” Zhishi said.
This included He Youzhou. Although Zhishi didn’t know her master’s exact age, she was sure he was at least several cycles older than her.
Although he had a disciple, He Youzhou still looked under twenty, showing no signs of aging.
Moreover, if He Youzhou didn’t speak, he would definitely be mistaken for a woman by outsiders.
Even though he deliberately made his long hair messy and gave himself serious dark circles, he still looked like a stunning woman.
With skin as smooth as porcelain, long eyelashes, and a gentle face, it was hard to associate him with a man.
“Master, did you get these ideas from novels and comics?” Zhishi suddenly asked.
A year or two ago, her master had found many books called novels and comics in an ancient ruin.
Since then, her master had occasionally secluded himself to study them.
“That’s right.” He Youzhou said, whistling guiltily and looking to the left.
“Back to the point, our Tianyan Sect needs new beautiful girl disciples.” He changed the topic, not wanting to ruin his image in front of his disciple, “As long as we have enough beautiful girls, talents will naturally come.”
Surely, when passersby see so many beautiful girls in our Tianyan Sect, they will be amazed and will break their heads to join our sect.
“Chisato, gather all the disciples of Tianyan Sect. We are going to recruit a beautiful girl into our sect.” He raised an eyebrow and ordered.
“But Master, did you forget that there are only the two of us left in Tianyan Sect?” Chisato looked up and asked in confusion.
Since she joined Tianyan Sect as a child, there had been no one else in the entire sect.
However, Master would occasionally say such things, probably because he really wanted disciples so much that he started hallucinating.
For this reason, as his disciple, she should help ease Master’s worries.
“Ah… it seems to be the case…” He Youzhou was stunned for a moment and looked around.
Apart from a few meditation mats, there was nothing in the main hall of Tianyan Sect.
As for the Sutra Library and other places, they were completely empty.
After so many years, he still habitually thought that Tianyan Sect was the same as it used to be.
Currently, besides the disciple he had raised since childhood, there was no one else in Tianyan Sect.
