Holy crap!
After reading the upgrade introduction, Lin Yan gasped.
This system upgrade was simply epic!
The level of shock was no less than upgrading from an iPhone 16 to a 17!
To sum it up in one sentence: the original inner sect disciples became personal disciples, the outer sect disciples became inner sect disciples, and new categories for outer sect disciples and registered disciples were added.
How should he put it? There were pros and cons.
On the plus side, the disciple hierarchy was more detailed, making management easier while greatly increasing the sect's maximum capacity.
But the downside was that there were no more loopholes to exploit!
Previously, Lin Yan had accepted disciples right at the upgrade threshold. When a disciple joined, their initial loyalty would perfectly meet the upgrade conditions.
Now, the upgrade no longer assessed loyalty!
He couldn't exploit this bug anymore.
Lin Yan stroked his chin.
"But no matter how you look at it, overall, the pros outweigh the cons!"
He especially loved the fact that "Personal Disciples do not take up any quota and have no maximum limit"!
This spoke right to his heart!
Previously, Lin Yan's biggest struggle had been the quota issue.
On one hand, the system upgrade forced him to take in disciples; on the other hand, he didn't want to accept just any random Tom, Dick, or Harry as his personal disciple.
Those tool-like disciples were fine for boosting his cultivation and making up the numbers, but treating them as his own to nurture was just too troublesome.
Now it was perfect!
Personal disciples were completely independent!
He could accept as many as he wanted, whenever he wanted!
Liu Ruyan, Ye Xiaoqin, Murong Yanran, and Mo Wentian—these disciples he truly valued would forever be his personal disciples, without needing to fight for quotas with those tool-like disciples.
As for inner, outer, and registered disciples, he could just take in anyone!
They were just there to make up numbers and boost his cultivation anyway. As long as their loyalty met the standard, it didn't matter if they were good or bad, as long as they could work.
There were also two newly unlocked special buildings: the Outer Sect Skill Transfer Pavilion and the Mission Hall, which perfectly matched his sect points system.
He wouldn't need to keep accounts manually anymore; he could just let the system handle it.
He could finally lie flat completely and peacefully be a hands-off boss.
"Not bad, not bad!"
Overall, Lin Yan was very satisfied with this upgrade.
The rules were more refined, and it was looking more and more like a real sect.
After some thought, Lin Yan redistributed the current disciples:
Liu Ruyan, Ye Xiaoqin, Murong Yanran, and Mo Wentian all had a loyalty exceeding 80%. They were all transferred to personal disciples, enjoying the sect's top-tier resources.
Zhao Feng's loyalty was also high enough, but his status was special. He was both an outer sect elder and the actual manager, and he had already formed his Golden Core. He would temporarily maintain his inner sect disciple status while concurrently serving as an outer sect deacon.
Zhao Xiangru... her status was also very special. She couldn't be lumped in with the personal disciples... ahem, she would also be transferred to an inner sect disciple for now.
And Su Wanqing, Liu Bai, Li Tianxing, Wang Hu, Li Mei, Zhang Hao, Lin Xiaoyu, and Chen Beiwang—these eight people were also promoted from the outer sect to the inner sect.
Simply put, the original inner sect was promoted to personal disciples, and the outer sect was promoted to the inner sect.
After dealing with this, Lin Yan silently chanted in his heart, "Open the system panel."

...
Good heavens!
Lin Yan's eyes lit up fiercely.
The maximum capacity of the sect had directly broken through 100 people!
This meant that if he filled up the disciple quota, he would gain 100 years of cultivation every single day!
What kind of concept was this?
Ten days would be a thousand years, and a month would be three thousand years!
"Good, good, good!"
Lin Yan cheered three times, so excited he almost jumped up from his recliner.
He remembered clearly that when Zhao Feng reported a few days ago, the number of people who had climbed past the 40th floor of the Heart-Questioning Pavilion had already exceeded 40!
And the number of handyman disciples who had climbed past the 20th floor had exceeded 100!
This meant that he could immediately, right at this very moment, fill up the 80 quotas for outer sect disciples and registered disciples!
Lin Yan didn't hesitate for a single second.
Hesitating for even a second would be disrespectful to the system.
"Zhao Feng, immediately take the top 80 people from the registered and handyman disciples based on the Heart-Questioning Pavilion rankings, and bring them up!"
...
A moment later, at the peak of Qingyun Mountain.
Lin Yan didn't like too many outsiders stepping into his back garden. After all, that was where a few disciples lived their daily lives; it was too private.
So, he simply used a light phrase, "Let a high platform rise from the flat ground."
In an instant, the rubble and weeds on the mountain peak were smoothed out by an invisible force. A bluestone platform hundreds of meters wide rose from the ground. The surface was as smooth as a mirror, and clouds and mist surged around it, making it look like a fairyland.
Zhao Feng led the eighty disciples up the steps.
As soon as these people stepped onto the platform, they were stunned by the sight before them.
A sea of clouds churned beneath their feet, the setting sun burned the horizon into a golden red, and the entire Qingyun Mountain lay beneath them.
What kind of method was this?
With a wave of a hand, a mountain peak dojo was created out of thin air!
However, many among them had witnessed the scene of the Heart-Questioning Pavilion rising from the ground, so they weren't too overly surprised this time.
How could a Soul Formation Venerable be judged by common sense?
Zhao Feng stepped forward and knelt on one knee. "My Lord!"
Behind him, the eighty disciples knelt down in unison, their voices converging into a torrent. "Greetings, Lord Sect Master!"
Lin Yan stood in the center of the platform with his hands behind his back, his gaze sweeping over the crowd.
This group was extremely uneven.
Their ages ranged from teenagers to people in their forties and fifties. In the back rows, there were even elderly people at the first or second level of Qi Condensation with greying hair, trembling slightly as they knelt there.
But the gazes they stole at him all carried the same fanaticism and awe.
This was the Sect Master of the Tianyan Sect!
The Soul Formation Venerable who forced back a heavenly tribulation with a single sentence!
These people had never dreamed that they would be qualified to stand on this mountain peak in their lifetimes.
"All of you, rise," Lin Yan said calmly.
The eighty people stood up as instructed, but they kept their heads bowed, not even daring to breathe loudly.
"Since you have managed to reach the forefront of the Heart-Questioning Pavilion, it means you have an affinity with this seat."
Lin Yan's voice was not loud, but it clearly transmitted into everyone's ears.
"Today, I have one question. Are you willing to officially join my Tianyan Sect?"
As soon as his words fell, the atmosphere on the platform instantly exploded.
The eighty people knelt down in unison once again, their voices shaking the mountain peak until it trembled slightly:
"We are willing!"
close your eyes and open them again, only to find yourself transmigrated into the role of a villainous male supporting character. Readers familiar with urban wish-fulfillment novels know that it is only through the relentless antics of the villainous male supporting character that the plot between the male and female leads can progress. As the villainous male supporting character, Long Aotian not only has to bully the female lead, harass the second female lead, and flirt with the third female lead, but he also has to go all out to antagonize the male lead. In the end, when his body is discovered, he is still clutching half a moldy fried dough stick in his hand. Fully aware of the plot, Long Aotian is determined to change his fate, starting with the female lead! In the beginning, the female lead lacks confidence: "Big brother, I hope I didn't scare you?" In the middle, the female lead treads carefully: "Brother Long, please don't hit me, okay?" Later on, the female lead becomes coquettishly clingy: "Aotian, it's time to pay the 'public grain' tonight." Long Aotian's legs go weak, and he feels like crying: "I taught you to be thick-skinned, not shameless!"
