Outer sect (Central Region)

A level of disciple
== Overview ==
Long Chen followed the group of outer sect disciples to a small transportation formation.
The Xuantian Dao Sect was just that large. Outer sect disciples worked on the edges of the sect, so they needed to use transportation formations to get around. Otherwise, it would waste far too much time.
Arriving at the outer regions, Long Chen clearly sensed the spiritual qi grow sparser. Furthermore, he saw many more people, male and female, young and old. It was like he had arrived at an ordinary city.
"Senior apprentice-brother Long Chen, you might be unaware of this, but the outer sect is completely different from the inner sect. We are not the true backbone of the sect. In fact, we're like an army of hired workers. Outer sect disciples have to handle missions to get their cultivation resources, and the outer sect is practically not a sect, but a land of cities. The workers make up most of the numbers, and there are also descendants of generations of outer sect disciples and workers. So the outer sect is a very chaotic place," explained one of the disciples.
"You can marry and have children here?" Long Chen was startled.
"Yes, the absolute majority of people here are from the four outer regions. Their talent is limited and they can't enter the inner sect. In fact, some are unable to even qualify as outer sect disciples. But they're also unwilling to leave, so they stay behind as workers. They pass their days by doing odd jobs or perhaps adventuring. As for the Dao Sect, it gives them a few resources as a reward. In any case, they won't starve to death, but they won't eat enough to get full. I'm not afraid of senior apprentice-brother Long Chen laughing at me, so I'll tell you that our ancestors were just workers," said one of them with a bitter smile.
Long Chen shook his head. "Those who work for their food are all worthy of respect. On the other hand, those people who reap without sowing, relying entirely on their reincarnation arts to live, but still look down on others, are the idiots that should be laughed at."
"Senior apprentice-brother Long Chen is as amiable and easy-going as the stories say."
"You also know of me?" Long Chen was surprised.
"In the entire Xuantian Dao Sect, there are few people that don't know of you. You come from the wilds, you led a group of the least-talented disciples through a life and death battle in the inner sect trial, you sacrificed your core disciple spot to save them, and you even risked your life to fight against a peak heavenly genius. In the outer sect, you are like a god. We, who are the descendants of people from the four outer regions, all view you as a model. You are our pride," said one of them emotionally.
"There are too many people in the outer sect, and the outer sect disciples only take up one in ten thousand of them. There's another portion that are workers, and another portion that are just commoners. Workers only get a hundred years of low rations. After a hundred years, they become commoners and need to think of other ways to survive. The Xuantian Dao Sect created many opportunities for the commoners to make a living, for example, planting medicinal ingredients, raising Magical Beasts, etc. The sect will allow them to survive. But as you know, wherever there is profit, there will be... Well, you understand!" said a disciple.
Long Chen understood. He felt like the outer sect was practically not even a place of cultivation. Outer sect disciples were the people with the highest income here, and from this disciple's tone, it seemed there were many complicated twists and turns for the people here.
As they continued forward, Long Chen continued to ask many things about the outer sect. They explained everything they knew without holding anything back.
They quickly arrived at a city hundreds of miles wide. The streets were extremely lively, and Long Chen felt like he had returned to the Phoenix Cry capital. He felt an extremely familiar feeling.
== Law enforcer squad ==
The law enforcers used to bully the common folk in the outer sect--until Long Chen arrives and brings order to the city.
== Business ==
The outer sect contained the greatest number of people within the entire Xuantian Dao Sect. Thus, the total number of points spread amongst all outer sect disciples and workers was enormous. Many of those points were the wealth parents had left to their children in hopes of them one day soaring.
Long Chen was focused on them right now. He was establishing a marketing platform within the outer sect.
After three batches of points, despite the fact that their price was now fifty thousand middle grade spirit stones for one, the supply did not meet the demand. Countless people were doing their best to buy them, but it was hard to get even a single one. What shocked Qian Duoduo was that it was just as Long Chen had said. There really were people who went to find him, looking to buy points in bulk.
They had come after the second batch. The price back then had been thirty thousand middle grade spirit stones, and they had offered to pay fifty thousand. Qian Duoduo had acted according to Long Chen's instructions and ignored them.
After the third batch, they came again, offering a price of eighty thousand spirit stones. Qian Duoduo had offered a price of one hundred thousand, and if they were able to pay the price, they could buy out all the six hundred thousand points they still had.
That person had mysteriously returned two days later, taking in all of those six hundred thousand points in one gulp. Other than a tiny reserve, the Dragonblood Legion had sold off all their points.
Long Chen had obtained a total of sixty billion middle grade spirit stones. They were packed into a mountain in his spatial ring.
Once those points were bought, the person behind the scenes finally appeared. It was the Divine Beast Mansion's Hu Guishan. However, just Hu Guishan on his own was unable to afford such a thing. He had taken all his disciples' middle grade spirit stones, and it still hadn't been enough. That was because their dependence on middle grade spirit stones after advancing to Sea Expansion was too high. Hu Guishan wasn't able to eat it all by himself, so he had worked together with Fan Song's Hegemon Hall and Que Xinyan's Flame Gate. Only all together did they have enough spirit stones.
Right now, Long Chen was the hegemon of the outer sect. The law enforcers didn't dare to touch him.
Without anyone to bully them, the peddlers returned. Long Chen had the outer sect disciples form a region outside the city for the peddlers to sell their wares. He gave them a way to live that didn't disturb the order of the city.
If you wanted high quality things, you could go inside the city, and if you just wanted street stall goods, you could go outside the city. Those peddlers were incomparably grateful and took the initiative to pay a protection fee.
Long Chen had the outer sect disciples take a small fee and send a few disciples to look after their safety, so no one would cause trouble for them again.
The outer sect quickly began to thrive under Long Chen's rule. It was more flourishing than ever.
In the outer sect's members' eyes, Long Chen was like a god, and they prostrated themselves before him. Even the law enforcers had to be obedient and didn't dare to leave their doors.
At this time, everyone complied with the rules very properly, and there was basically no need for law enforcers. Everything was peaceful and harmonious.
Long Chen essentially handed those matters to Wang Mang and Qian Duoduo to handle.
