190 Core Disciple Bai Long (1/2)
A city.
That was all that Bai Long could think since the moment he saw the Divine Night Sect.
With how big the area it covered was and the design of the buildings were, it really looked more like a city than a Sect.
The entire area was a flatland with no rivers or mountains in the middle which disrupted with how beautiful the Sect looked from far away.
Unfortunately, there was no sort of mist or fog covering the city as Bai Long had hoped for.
Pointing towards the core of the city, Lifen said, ”That is where the Grand Elders, Protectors, and Sect Leaders live at.”
For an area which housed at most twenty or thirty individuals, there were fifty huge courtyards which would need at least a few hundred workers each to maintain them properly.
”If you show the Sect that you are someone worth nurturing or investing in, or maybe do something great, you could also love in one of those courtyards.”
Before Bai Long even needed to ask about what was so great about being able to live there, Lifen herself explained the details of it.
”The closer you are to the core of the Sect, the higher the concentration of Qi is.”
”You must be thinking, well that is obvious what's so great about that?”
Nodding his head, Bai Long waited for Lifen to explain what else was special about living inside those courtyards.
”Your status inside the Sect depends on where you live. The closer you are to the core, the higher your status and authority inside the Sect.”
Saying so, Lifen began pointing towards the city and showed how there was an obvious difference in the housing condition from the edges to the centre.
It was almost as if the city was divided into multiple regions. More accurately, into multiple circles from the outside to the inside.
It wasn't that the houses in the edges of the Sect looked bad or were of poor quality, but in comparison to those luxurious courtyards at the core of the city which were made using precious materials that aided in cultivation and recovery, they truly couldn't compare in any way.
Especially when each of the houses on the edge were meant to provide housing to multiple individuals, and not for a single one.
”The outer most area is only for those who aren't real members of the Divine Night Sect, and more like just workers who are employed.”
”And when you say workers, you mean... ”
”Yes. They're all slaves of the Sect who cannot leave even if they want to.”
Shrugging her shoulders, Lifen added, ”Not that they'd want to leave anyway. Even if it is by just serving as labour, there is no shortage in the number of humans that want to be related to the Divine Night Sect in one way or the other.”
