Chapter 524 Eternal Lotuses

After logging off, Yuan and Meixiu went to sleep.

Meanwhile, Yu Rou and Xia Jingyi tried to get used to their new living quarters.

Once the sky darkened, someone knocked on their doors.

”Hereʼs your dinner for tonight.” A member of the Enteral Lotuses handed them two trays of food.

”Donʼt worry, this is only for today and tomorrow. Youʼll get to eat in an actual cafeteria once you become a member.” The member then said to them.

After accepting the food, Yu Rou and Xia Jingyi cleared it with haste, as they were getting a little hungry since they havenʼt eaten since leaving the plane.

The member returned an hour later to collect their empty plates.

That night, Yu Rou and Xia Jingyi fell asleep with ease.

The following morning, some members of the Eternal Lotuses gathered the newcomers and led them to the testing site, where they tested the newcomers their cultivation talents and their body limits.

Although there were almost no requirements to join the Eternal Lotuses besides being a certain cultivation level, the newcomers were required to partake in this exam.

Fortunately for the newcomers, failing the exams didnʼt mean theyʼll be barred from joining the faction, but it meant that theyʼll have to put in more effort than the others, as theyʼll be training separately from the others.

The examination took nearly the entire day, and at the end of the day, Bai Lianhua reappeared before them with the results in the form of a piece of paper.

”There are many ranks within the Eternal Lotuses. From the lowest to the highest— Green Lotus, Blue Lotus, Yellow Lotus, Red Lotus, and lastly, Violet Lotus. If youʼd acquired above 80 points in the examination, youʼll start out as a Blue Lotus. If you scored below 80 points, you will start at the lowest, Green Lotus.”

”There really isnʼt much of a difference between each rank between the Green Lotus and the Yellow Lotus, so you donʼt have to worry about being treated differently. The only thing different about each rank will be your training schedule. Everyone will receive fair treatment, meaning that regardless of your rank, youʼll receive the same support as your fellow sisters who may have a lower or higher rank.”

”However, that doesnʼt mean you can ignore seniority within the ranks. And in order to incentivize you to increase your position within the faction, I will be allowing those who reach the rank of Red Lotus to train a Heaven-rank cultivation technique and those who reach Violet Lotus to learn a Divine-rank cultivation technique— the same one that I am currently cultivating.”

The newcomers were shocked to learn this information, as they werenʼt aware that someone else besides Player Yuan had acquired a Divine-rank cultivation technique.

After all, the world announcement only lets the players know of the first person to obtain a certain rank and not the others, so unless one announced it, nobody would know about it.

”As for everyone else, you will be allowed to cultivate using an Earth-rank cultivation technique. Of course, this isnʼt mandatory. If youʼre satisfied with your current cultivation technique, you may continue cultivating with it.” Bai Lianhua said to them.

And she continued, ”Now allow me to talk about the rules.”

”There are very few rules within the Eternal Lotuses compared to the other factions, but we take these rules very seriously.”

”One, you are not allowed to harm another member in any way unless youʼre both sparring against each other during an official match or during practice. Depending on the severity, you will be demoted or receive fewer resources for a certain amount of time. If severe enough, we might even kick you out of the faction.”

”Two, you are not to leak any information you learn from this place outside. What happens inside this place stays inside. Once again, depending on the severity and information you leaked, you will be punished accordingly.”

”Three, you will not do anything that will harm or tarnish the factionʼs reputation. Depending on the situation, weʼll punish you accordingly.”

”Four, you will listen to your seniorsʼ orders as long as itʼs a lawful order.”

”Last but not least, you will not betray the faction or any of its members in any fashion. If youʼre caught doing so… getting kicked out of the faction will be the least of your worries.”

”Thatʼs all I have for you. You will learn more about the faction and its members as you live with us. Training begins tomorrow morning after breakfast which starts at sunrise and ends 2 hours later.”

”Goodnight, Senior Bai!” The new members said to her.

After Bai Lianhua left the scene, one of the members wearing a uniform with red lotuses on it said to them, ”Before you all retire for the night, you need to receive your uniforms.”

”If youʼve scored above 80 points today, stand on the right, and if youʼve scored below, stand on the left.”

Yu Rou then made her way to the right side whilst Xia Jingyi, who missed 80 points by only 3 points, stood on the left.

Once everyone was in line, they followed the Red Lotus member to receive their uniforms.

Every member received three pairs of uniforms.

”You only really need two pairs of uniforms since youʼll have your uniforms washed every day, but just in case you destroy one, youʼre given a third. If youʼre ever down to just two uniforms, ask for another one.”

”Also, Senior Sister Bai didnʼt mention this, but if you intend on leaving the faction for whatever reason, you must speak with her before youʼre allowed to do so. Though I donʼt understand why anyone would want to leave this paradise.”

”If you cannot tell already, compared to the other factions, weʼre quite lenient and very fair towards our members as long as they donʼt do anything stupid.”

”However, donʼt take advantage of Senior Sister Baiʼs kindness, because if you anger her… Letʼs just say you donʼt want to see her angry.”

Sometime later, Yu Rou and the others returned to their rooms with their new uniforms.

After a quick shower and dinner, they went to sleep and prepared themselves for training tomorrow.
