Chapter 73: Recruiting Disciples

  Chapter Seventy-Three: Recruiting Disciples

  Soon after, Xiao Pangzi and the green-clothed girl Zhang Chuchu, Qin Jian, all three of them had passed the trial and come out. Although they were a bit disheveled, none of them were injured.

  "Huh? Why hasn't Xiao Fan come out yet?" Little Fatty looked around, but didn't see any sign of Xiao Fan and couldn't help feeling a bit puzzled.

  "It's possible that Xiao Da Ge encountered a more powerful demon beast and was held back." The green-clothed girl, Zhang Chuchu, said softly.

  "That's also true, that guy is so perverted, the demon beast he encountered must be very perverted too." Little fatty muttered.

  Hei Yi Qin Jian still looked cold and unfeeling, but his worried gaze turned towards the Demon-Suppressing Pagoda.

  "Hahaha..." Next, one by one the trial candidates came out, and Liu Ren also emerged. As soon as he appeared, his entire body was rolling with evil energy, fresh blood filling his whole body, yet he was laughing wildly and unrestrainedly.

  Liu Ren came out later than Xiao Pangzi and others, not because his strength was inferior, but on the contrary, because his strength was the strongest, the demon beasts he encountered were even stronger, so it took more time.

  "This son of a bitch has also come out, and he seems to be unharmed too."

  Xiao Pangzi frowned, among the dozens of trialists present, he disliked Liu Ren the most. At this moment, seeing Liu Ren's arrogant and complacent appearance, he felt very uncomfortable.

  "What's going on, Xiao Fan hasn't come out yet." After waiting for another hour, almost all the trial-takers had come out, and those who hadn't were considered to have failed and become food for the demon beasts. Until now, there was still no sign of Xiao Fan, and the three little fatties couldn't help but get anxious.

  "The trial has ended. Everyone, follow me to the main hall of the sect to meet the Sect Master and the various Elders." At this time, Elder Luo spoke up.

  "Wait!"

  Xiao Pangzi let out a loud shout and arrived in front of Luo Changlao, his face anxious as he asked: "May I ask, Elder, why hasn't Xiao Fan come out yet? Has something happened to him?"

  Not just Xiao Pangzi was anxious, but also Zhang Chuchu in green clothes and Qin Jian in black clothes were looking at Luo Changlao with anxious faces.

  "Don't worry, he's fine. He has successfully found a master and followed his master to cultivate." Old Man Luo said with a smile.

  "Ah, so soon?" As soon as Old Luo spoke, Little Fatty's face showed a look of surprise, and then he muttered: "This guy actually didn't wait for us and just ran off like that. How detestable! He made us worry."

  Despite this, all three of them had smiles on their faces.

  "Haha, just follow me."

  Lao Luo burst out laughing, his body suddenly rising into the air, hovering in mid-air, his Taoist robe fluttering, his white beard flying about, as if he were a celestial being.

  "The main hall of the sect is not far from here, follow me." The other elders also followed Luo Lao's back and flew away.

  Everyone who had passed the trial showed an excited expression and hurriedly followed up.

  The main hall of the Zongzhai was not far away, but the cultivation levels of the crowd were uneven, and their speeds varied. Luo Changlao and others deliberately slowed down to lead the crowd along the way, and after more than two hours, they stopped under a misty main peak.

  "This is the main peak of the sect, and the main hall of the sect leader is right above it. Let's go up with me."

  "Yes."

  This is a towering peak, like a heavenly sword thrusting into the sky, surrounded by clouds and mist. From time to time, one can see cranes flying in the air, as if it were an immortal realm, making people tremble with fear; everyone's expression changed, with solemnity following Old Man Luo to continue on their way.

  Before long, the crowd arrived at the summit, where they saw a celestial pavilion standing over a hundred feet tall, its entire body shining with golden light, as if it were made of crystal and gold jade. The pavilion was surrounded by an aura of grandeur and majesty that seemed to emanate from it in waves.

  "The host and all the elders are already waiting inside, let's go in with me."

  Luo Zhang said, straightened his clothes and led everyone into it.

  Inside the White Jade Hall, a middle-aged man with a warm face sat at the top, while many people sat on both sides below him, including white-haired old men, middle-aged men, and beautiful women.

  As soon as Elder Luo led the crowd in, everyone's gaze turned to the new disciples, and for a moment, all the new disciples felt as if Mount Tai was pressing down on them, with an invisible pressure looming over their heads.

  "How scary, these old guys are all extraordinary." The little fatty's flesh trembled, muttering to himself.

  Those who are qualified to sit inside this grand hall have an extraordinary status in the Three Absolute Gates, with a cultivation that is astonishingly high. Although they only look at you new disciples with ordinary eyes, the invisible pressure they bring makes those of you with lower cultivations feel boundless pressure.

  "I have seen the Sect Master and all the Elders." Luo Lao stood below, clasped his fists and said: "This time's disciple recruitment has ended, a total of 90 new disciples have been recruited, 89 of whom have already arrived."

  "Thanks to Master Luo and the elders." The master of San Jue Men was named Ning Wuqing, a middle-aged scholar with a warm face. He didn't have the aura of a superior on his body, and if he walked on the road, no one would associate him with the master of a high-level sect.

  "Lei Shixiong, why did the new disciples have ninety people, but only brought eighty-nine?" At this time, an old man with red hair and beard spoke up.

  "Also..." Luo Chang's face looked somewhat unsightly as he said: "Another disciple has already been taken in by Lei Yun Shixiong."

  "What? It's actually him."

  As soon as they heard this, the elderly people who were originally curious all changed their expressions, as if they had heard a flood beast coming, and chose to shut up.

  "Heh heh, no matter, Lei Shidi is extremely thoughtful and wants to take in disciples, which is a good thing. Please, let's have Luo Zhanglao introduce these new junior brothers to us." Only the Sect Master spoke warmly.

  "Yes."

  Lao Luo said, "Among the newly promoted disciples this time, there are two disciples with purple-level aptitude and three disciples with blue-level aptitude. The remaining disciples' aptitudes are also not ordinary, they are all promising talents."

  "There are two purple qualifications, let me take a look." The one who spoke was still the old man with red hair and beard, it could be seen that his personality was the most explosive, and he couldn't hide his words.

  "Duan Fei has come out to see the Sect Master and all of you elders." said Luo Chang Lao to Xiao Pang Zi.

  "Yes." The little fatty deliberately tidied up his clothes before coming out, wanting to look more formal, but with his appearance, no matter how he tidied up, he couldn't look formal.

  "Hmm, this little guy is actually a fire attribute cultivator, haha, great! This little fellow is mine now." As soon as he saw Little Fatty, the old man with fiery red hair and beard burst out laughing and came to Little Fatty's side, as if he had seen a rare treasure. He pulled Little Fatty over, reluctant to let go.

  "You can't all fight with me over this. After so many years, I've finally found a disciple like this, and no one can take him away from me."

  "Cough, cough..." A old man held his hand, and the other party still showed a loving expression. The little fatty only felt a wave of nausea, trying hard to pull his own hand back, but he couldn't pull it away from the other party, so he could only look at the old man with tears in his eyes.

  "Heh heh, since that's the case, I'll grant your wish, Young Master Yang. From now on, Duan Fei will be under Young Master Yang's name." The Sect Leader Ning Wuqing said with a smile.

  "Thank you, Master." The old man with fiery red hair and beard laughed and pulled Xiao Pangzi, saying: "Haha, from today on, you little guy is the apprentice of Yang Dingtian. Come, come, good apprentice, quickly call out 'Master' for me to hear."

  "Yang Ding Tian..." The little fatty's eyes widened as he stared at the old man with fiery red hair and beard, Yang Ding Tian. His face was strange, stifling a laugh; this name was truly extremely powerful.

  "Come on, little guy, let's go home." Yang Dingtian didn't care about Xiaopangzi's expression and didn't even greet the Sect Master and others, he just pulled Xiaopangzi and ran away.

  "It's been hundreds of years, yet Young Master Yang is still so impatient."

  "Now he has gained a disciple, and is naturally delighted."

  The elders all understood Yang Dingtian's character and didn't mind his behavior.

  "Another purple-grade disciple should also come out." The sect master said at this time.

  "Cough...cough..."

  Lao Luo stood out and said with an embarrassed expression: "Another purple-level disciple named Xiao Fan, who was taken away by Master Lei Yun."

  "What? Another purple-level disciple was taken away by Master Lei."

  As soon as the news came out, the entire hall fell silent again. Looking at the faces of the elders, some were calm and collected, looking up at the beams with an air of detachment; some were clenching their teeth in anger, their eyes blazing with fury; while others wore a look of infinite regret. It was as if all possible expressions had been revealed on the faces of the elders.

  Rao Zong's expression was indifferent, but he couldn't help but smile wryly. A purple-level disciple was the best quality aside from those with special physiques. If cultivated well, they would definitely become a top-notch expert in a few hundred years, capable of dominating an entire region. Even Rao Zong, as the sect master, had the intention to take him on as his disciple.

  There were three reasons why Yang Dingtian accepted Xiaopang as his apprentice. Firstly, Xiaopang had a fire attribute physique that matched Yang Dingtian's attribute. Secondly, Yang Dingtian had not found an excellent apprentice in hundreds of years, and the elders had given up on him, allowing him to take Xiaopang away. Thirdly, there was another purple-level talented disciple to choose from.

  "If I had known this earlier, I wouldn't have let Yang Shidi take him away just now." The group of elders gritted their teeth, regretting it so much that they wanted to rush back and grab him again.

  "Heh heh, being able to become a disciple of Lei Shi Di is also his good fortune. As for the Three Extremes Sect's disciples, no matter whose disciple they are, it's all the same. Let's continue accepting new disciples then." The sect master Ning Wu Qing forced a smile, ultimately only able to bitterly laugh once, feeling helpless.

  "Three blue-level qualified disciples are: Zhang Chuchu, Liu Ren and Qin Jian."

  Next, all the elders saw the three of them and their eyes glowed green as they stared at them tightly. Without a purple-level disciple, even a blue-level one would be fine, it's also a talent that appears once in ten thousand people.

  "Zhang Chuchu and I are destined to be together, she should be my disciple." A middle-aged woman wearing a green robe, named Zhang Yunyan, stood up and said calmly.

  As soon as she finished speaking, the rest of the elders rolled their eyes, this was really too ridiculous. What's called having fate? Is it just because both of them wore green clothes and shared the same surname Zhang?

  "Zhang Chuchu is a wood-attribute talent, with the same origin as me. She is the best physique for cultivating the 'Long Life Secret', so please don't compete with me, esteemed elders." Before the other elders could speak, Zhang Yunyan continued: "Please fulfill the Sect Master's wish."

  "This girl's attributes match those of your junior sister, and it seems they have a predestined relationship. Then let her be your junior sister's disciple." Master Ning Wuyi said emotionlessly.

  "Thank you, Master." Zhang Yunyan was overjoyed and pulled Zhang Chuchu aside to talk.

  "I want him, Sect Master, I haven't taken an apprentice in a hundred years, just fulfill my wish."

  "Fart, last time you took in ten disciples at once, these two are mine now."

  "Damn it, you're really arrogant, wanting two when I only need one. How about this little black-robed kid?"

  "No way, this is mine."

  At this moment, the elders in the main hall were blowing their beards and staring with wide eyes, as if they were a group of shrews fighting for disciples, opening the eyes of all the disciples present.

  Other disciples who did not reach the blue level couldn't help but show a look of envy, and they could only regret that the one being pampered wasn't themselves.

  Finally, after a commotion, Qin Jian bowed to an equally ruthless old man as his master. The old man's name was Shangguan Heng, who was a disciple of the same generation as the sect leader Ning Wuqing.

  Liu Ren was accepted as a disciple by an elder named Chen Kun.

  Later, the remaining disciples were also taken away, and each elder left with their new disciples, bringing an end to the recruitment.
