Chapter 685 - 684: Opportunity Has Arrived
After thousands of years of establishment, generation after generation, Sect inevitably gave rise to some super experts with seniority. Not all of them were a Monk, so it was normal for them to have families and children within the Sect. As their children grew up within the Sect, they naturally became part of it and enjoyed a superior status. This led to the formation of an inner circle in the Sect, whose members were all daring and unscrupulous.
Extortion for protection money and taking in disciples were very common, and no one considered them serious matters.
Thus, Yusuf Zuck entered the inner workings of the Sect with 800,000 Gold Coins and became the disciple of the slacker Hector Cooke.
The dormitory where Yusuf Zuck stayed was actually a small room less than ten square meters in size, containing only two beds. One belonged to Alvin Trujillo, and the other was his. Besides the two beds, there was nothing else in the room, not even a desk or a chair.
It wasn’t that the Sect couldn’t afford these items, but rather they were unnecessary. Why should a cultivator care about so many worldly possessions? A single room was enough as long as it could house a person. There were three canteens for the outer disciples, but they had to pay for food and accommodation, tuition and other miscellaneous fees first.
Yusuf Zuck paid another 10,000 Gold Coins for tuition and 5,000 for food and accommodation before he could finally have a meal in the canteen.
However, the meals provided there were even worse than pig feed, and very few people actually ate there.
Alvin Trujillo told Yusuf Zuck that he could cook his own meals, but not be seen by others, or he could go to the city to eat.
The Outer Sect was relatively more relaxed. Once the tuition and heart method of the Sect were learned and the fees were paid, no one cared about your daily activities, as long as you completed the monthly tasks assigned by the Sect. If you failed to complete your task, there were two options: either pay to extend the deadline for a month or pack up and go home!
Fair and reasonable – after all, the Sect didn’t support freeloaders. The Sect wasn’t established to proliferate a spirit; it taught you how to question and how to cultivate immortality. If you couldn’t contribute any money, why would they teach you?
