Yan Hua had spoken casually, though she thought the idea was good. She hadn't expected everyone to agree, but to her surprise, everyone gave the idea their full endorsement.
"I really think the mascot idea is quite good," Feng Mingqi applauded, "With Lord Yan Hua guarding the immortal sect, who would dare offend us?"
Feng Yunzui nodded in agreement.
With so many powerful figures present, the Evergreen Sect would surely rise in no time. However...
Feng Yunzui looked at Qi Yu, "If every race can take disciples, can we also take disciples from the demon race?"
This was a good question, and everyone fell into thought.
Although the status of the demon race had risen sharply since the Heavenly Dao reforms, and humans were no longer as prejudiced against them, deep-seated biases remained.
Many human cultivators disliked and detested demons, finding them uncomfortable and even dirty to look at.
The view of immortal cultivation sects towards the demon race was merely that it was best not to interact with them.
At such a juncture, if the Evergreen Sect were to accept demon disciples, it would undoubtedly become the center of public opinion.
The immortal cultivation sects in the mortal realm had no idea of the true identity of the Evergreen Sect's sect leader. They would only assume the Evergreen Sect was a newly emerged sect.
Therefore, Qi Yu's desire to allow the Evergreen Sect to accept demon disciples without revealing her identity was indeed quite challenging.
However, to everyone's surprise, Qi Yu didn't seem to take this matter too seriously. After a moment of hesitation, she nodded in agreement, even proposing to establish separate dining halls and training grounds specifically for the demon race.
"No, there should be more training grounds," Qi Yu, having just decided on two, immediately refuted her own idea and changed her mind, "At least three or four training grounds. Within our Evergreen Sect, I'll divide more training grounds later and keep each one separate."
As she spoke, Qi Yu took out paper and pen from her embrace, intending to draw a draft.
Si Qing initially thought Qi Yu was just speaking casually, but seeing her serious demeanor, he couldn't help but stop her, "Sister, why do you need so much empty space? If it's for cultivation or practicing martial arts, a single open area should suffice. I've seen other sects do it this way, and didn't we do the same when we were in the mortal realm?"
"Yes, but this is very inconvenient. For example, some disciples are naturally introverted and dislike crowded places, but one training ground is full of people, which is very annoying," Qi Yu waved her hand, "And for the demon race's dedicated training grounds, if we don't do this, someone will surely deliberately provoke trouble and cause problems."
"Some demons are brave and warlike, with naturally stronger personalities, while others are no different from ordinary humans. Perhaps their demonic power is weaker and their personalities are more introverted, making them more suited to other cultivation methods."
"And then there are the other races. Cultivation disciples of other races have an advantage over human cultivators from the start. In a one-on-one fight, cultivators from the mortal realm would not be a match for disciples of other races who already have a foundation. Therefore, human cultivators need to be protected separately. If they want to train together, that's fine, but if they don't, there should at least be a place for them to retreat."
After Qi Yu finished speaking and roughly calculated, she felt the area still needed to be expanded.
Si Qing had been watching blankly the entire time.
He had always thought his sister's establishment of an immortal cultivation sect was just a whim, as she herself had said, a sudden impulse.
He never expected his sister to have already decided on such minor details.
As Si Qing was admiring her, they unknowingly arrived near a fabric shop.
Shao Feng rubbed his chin, looking at the mortal fabric shop before him, and hesitated, "The materials in this shop are quite different from those for immortal cultivation, aren't they? Is it too perfunctory to buy directly from here? If we encounter any danger during cultivation, we might not be able to protect the cultivators."
"You're right, but my purpose isn't to choose fabrics here," Qi Yu said, opening her storage pouch and taking out three bolts of white cloth.
These fabrics looked ordinary, but in reality, they shimmered with a magnificent glow. When the sun shone on them, purple Sanskrit characters appeared, and a touch of the fabric revealed a dense spiritual energy.
Qi Yu then took out two or three bolts of red cloth, and other colors. "Whether human, demon, or other races, different races need different distinctions. Therefore, each person will have a color. Whoever likes what color can come and take it, and the disciples you take in from now on can only wear clothing of that color."
"But these fabrics don't seem to be enough for making clothes, do they? Is it a bit too little?" Ming Lou counted them over and over, feeling that based on the quantity, these few bolts of fabric would only be enough for a dozen people at most.
But according to their sect's recruitment method, a dozen people wouldn't be enough.
"Please, do you think this is ordinary fabric? This is immortal brocade. It looks thin, but in reality, it's inexhaustible," Qi Yu said with her hands behind her back, "These colored fabrics are for making wristbands and belts. Only the white ones are for making clothes, and there are also outer robes. I'll go to the workshop later to check the craftsmanship of those people. If they are capable, I'll let them do it. If not, I'll get a template from them and find any spider spirit to make it."
Sui You agreed, "I actually think that finding a spider spirit to make them would result in better craftsmanship, and it would also be safer."
Although in this world, greed could arise in humans, demons, and other races alike, the difference was that humans couldn't be directly struck by heavenly lightning for their transgressions.
But other races could.
Qi Yu followed Sui You's suggestion, casually browsed the current popular styles at the human fabric shop, made her selection, and then, relying on her memory, drew them. She then went directly with Qi Nian to the demon realm to find the most skilled spider spirit for customization.
