Xie Ruyue became a little stumped, "That was quick," they had just opened the stall, and everything got sold out.
Lin Feng nodded and moved towards the back, while his eyes went to the naked body of Huo Meiling, looking at her still dripping slit made his cock rise again, but he controlled his impulse and went to create pills.
After setting the flames and putting the herbs, he finally decided to understand the sect even more deeply, "Senior sister, can you come here?"
Xie Ruyue was about to come and watch him make pills, so she nodded immediately and came near him, she sat down on the ground, Lin Feng wasn't sitting much higher, so there wasn't much difference.
"What is it?" Her eyes were shining a little.
Lin Feng could feel her curiosity, "It's nothing that enticing that you should get excited about, I just want to know about the sect better, like how the power dynamics work and if I should pay attention to anything."
Xie Ruyue was surprised, "Junior brother, you really aren't like other new disciples, they would never think like that, in fact, they don't care much about what goes on in the sect, they would be happy as long as they get good partners."
Lin Feng shook his head, "Don't lump me with those clowns, senior sister, I feel insulted."
"You are back to your original personality, is it real, or is it also just for outer appearance?" Xie Ruyue smiled, her eyes fixed on his expression.
Lin Feng was a little surprised, even though she said it as a joke, it was the truth. His expression remained normal though, "Who knows, senior sister, in the end, everyone hides their real self to some level."
Xie Ruyue nodded, "You sometimes feel too mysterious, junior brother Lin Feng."
Lin Feng looked at the perfectly refined spirit herbs and started converting them into pills. His lips curled, "How about exploring me deeply, senior sister?"
Xie Ruyue just shook her head, "I won't fall for such tricks, junior brother, as for the sect dynamics... the real power isn't fully in the hands of the sect master.
If 70 percent of the faction leaders said otherwise, then the sect master has to think of another decision."
Lin Feng nodded in understanding, big sects would work better this way.
"Faction leaders are mainly the leaders of various factions like the Alchemy Faction, Battle Faction, Seduction Faction, Array Faction, and so on.
Then come the disciples, the chief disciples are top in position, after that come the disciples of faction leaders, then come normal core disciples, and so on."
Lin Feng nodded again, "Why haven't you taken anyone as a master, senior sister?"
He had no doubt that even without her cultivating the main sect cultivation technique, she would have been approached by many faction leaders. He had a feeling that the answer was what he was thinking.
"Junior brother, the ceremony of being a disciple is to have a fleshy union with your master if you are opposite gender, even if a woman take a woman elder as a master, it isn't different, you have to go through the same process as they allow their partners to defile you..."
Lin Feng wasn't much surprised, it was in accordance with dual cultivation sects.
"That's about it for the power dynamics of the sect, anything else you want to know about?"
Lin Feng took out the pills and smiled, "Why are those disciples afraid of you?"
Most of the disciples he had seen till now had some amount of fear in their eyes as they looked at her, he was interested in knowing what she had done.
Xie Ruyue smiled too, "There is a battle arena in the sect. It is used for any kind of duels... normal or death.
You see, there is a rule that if you find someone disrespecting you in any way, then you can challenge them to a duel, if a junior disrespects a senior, then this rule is still applied.
Well, this is for only general disciples, as for me, if anyone even tries to disrespect me, then I beat them on the spot, in the end, I don't care about rules, and since I don't go overboard and only beat those who have disrespected me intentionally or unintentionally, the sect turns a blind eye to it."
"I see, guess in the future, I will use this method too..." Lin Feng smirked.
Xie Ruyue smiled brightly, "Do it, junior brother, even if you beat some disciple without any reason, the sect will still turn a blind eye or punish you lightly just for appearance."
Lin Feng shook his head, she seemed more excited than him about that part, "Senior sister, what about central region missions? Does the sect select specific members, or can anyone join it?"
Xie Ruyue thought for a moment, "Actually, both, there are many central region missions which are available according to your cultivation realm, but there are some missions which the sect does by selecting specific members, like the last mission... sigh.
The last mission was a tremendous loss for the sect, almost half of the strongest disciples were killed, right now the amount of core disciples we have is very low."
"Really?" Lin Feng acted as if he didn't know about it.
Xie Ruyue nodded, "Yes, indeed, this is the reason you might not see many core disciples in the sect right now, there are already few, and all of them are handling missions which can be done by only them, due to a shortage in number.
I was invited to do some missions by the Mission Faction... heh. They even increased the rewards for it, how shameless."
"Let me guess, you declined?"
"Of course I did, I would have loved to do some missions for that much reward, but since they asked specifically, it feels good to decline them... these bastards have restricted me so much, and now they feel my need... tch."
Lin Feng could feel her sourness of restrictions, it was a given, being treated like a prisoner isn't something anyone would love.
Now, how should he gain the information he needed? No doubt each faction leader has the information about it, but they definitely are experienced enough not to fall for tricks to reveal it.
