Someone Always Wants To Corrupt My Disciple

It took the Celestial Master Hall a full two months and they still hadn’t finished sorting through that mountain-sized “material warehouse” that fell from the heavens. Meanwhile, the Xuanmen Academy had already welcomed its second batch of students.

Thanks to Yun Jiao’s ten-year development plan, this time not only the main academy opened its doors, but also the first, second, and third branch campuses—each located within one of the major sects.

After careful study, Yun Jiao discovered something: compared to the other two realms, the human realm had only one true advantage—population. Neither the celestial realm nor the underworld combined had even half as many people as the human world.

And population meant one thing—wealth.

This was a fantastical world—so why should cultivation be restricted only to Xuanmen disciples? After all, everyone (except her) possessed a Xuan meridian to some degree. Which meant that every human being was technically a potential cultivator. To strengthen the entire human realm, the foundation had to begin with education. Therefore, she believed cultivation training should not be limited to Xuanmen—it should evolve into a system of nationwide education.

In fact, sects had long been taking in talented children from the outside world, raising them as disciples from a young age. But recruitment had always been casual—based on “fate.” Choosing disciples mostly depended on whether the child “looked pleasing to the eye.” If both sides agreed, they’d simply take the child back to the sect.

Now, all Yun Jiao proposed was to formalize this process—to expand the scale of enrollment. It wasn’t difficult at all.

As for those who wanted to learn but had no way into a sect, her solution was simple: publish and distribute basic cultivation manuals that anyone could self-study. After mastering them, individuals could take examinations at the sects, and if they passed, they could join. Some might even qualify for the Xuanmen Academy and access advanced arts.

Surprisingly, when Yun Jiao proposed this, no one in the Xuanmen opposed her. On the contrary, everyone was ecstatic. They were more enthusiastic about opening new academies than she was! Sect leaders even volunteered to hold a second round of teacher qualification exams, recommending their best disciples from each class to participate—and they even prepared the exam papers themselves.
