Chapter Sixteen: Recruitment

  The two guardians of the Ling Shui Spring were just a small matter for Qin Yong, not worth paying attention to. However, trouble apparently didn't stop there; as soon as Qin Yong returned with water and had just finished watering the San Se Ling Lan, someone else came knocking on his door.

  Liu Yan won't be coming for a while, and Liu Qi doesn't have the face or guts to come now. The person who came this time was quite unfamiliar, a robust man in his twenties. Qin Yong didn't recognize him, but from the pride that couldn't be dispelled between his eyebrows, and the faint disdain when looking at Qin Yong, he knew that the other party shouldn't be an outer sect disciple.

  At this time, Qin Yong's eyes couldn't help but glance at the other person's waist. In Yunhai Sect, the sect would issue a token to its disciples as proof of being a Yunhai Sect disciple. Apart from that, it was also used to receive monthly benefits, accept tasks and record contributions to the sect. It could be said that the identity token was extremely important for the disciples, and one's identity could also be discerned from the token.

  Miscellaneous disciples in the Yunhai Sect have a very low status, and are not even recognized as disciples by others. They are treated like servants and are ordered around. The Yunhai Sect does not worry about miscellaneous disciples, no matter how lowly they may be. However, in the Tianhong Kingdom, there are countless people who want to join. The identity token is made of a common mineral called limestone, which is gray in color.

  Outer sect disciples have a corresponding status, and their identity tokens are made of cast iron material Yunni Stone, which is white in color. Inner sect disciples' identity tokens, on the other hand, are made of black patterned steel, a material that, in the Tianhong Kingdom, only the five major sects have the audacity to use, while others, such as family forces, consider it a precious mineral for refining weapons. The inner sect token made of black patterned steel is entirely black and has a defensive array forged onto it, which automatically absorbs spiritual energy; wearing the token makes the spiritual energy around one denser than usual by half, making it already a kind of treasure.

  Core disciple, the identity token is made of purple iron and presents a purple color. In addition to making the spiritual energy around him thicker, it also comes with a defensive spell array. Each time it is activated, it can withstand a blow from a martial artist below the Tianwu realm. After use, it will need to absorb spiritual energy for a month before it can be used again, during which time the effect of thickening the spiritual energy around him will also be lost.

  It can also be seen from the identity token that Yunhai Sect attaches great importance to inner disciples and core disciples. Because of the different colors of the identity tokens, it is possible to know what kind of disciple it is as soon as you see the token. However, identity tokens are generally not displayed outside, but some outer disciples like to hang them on their waists because they have just gone through the miscellaneous servant disciple period and have a sense of inferiority. They long to show off after being promoted to outer disciples. In the eyes of many miscellaneous servant disciples, seeing an outer disciple wearing a white token on his waist will inevitably reveal respect and admiration, which is exactly what those outer disciples want.

  Qin Yong guessed from the other person's expression that he might be an outer sect disciple, so he glanced at his waist and indeed saw the white token.

  Qin Yong was mentally prepared, and he knew that the person who came would definitely be an outer door disciple. However, those powerful outer door disciples would not come in person, so the one coming must be just a lackey. Qin Yong curled his lips, but at this time, he didn't have the qualification to ignore him, so he still got up to welcome him.

  "This brother, I don't know what brings you here, is there something you'd like to instruct me on?" Qin Yong said.

  "Are you Qin Yong?" The man looked Qin Yong up and down, his tone carrying a hint of superiority, as if he were a local leader inspecting the area.

  "I am Qin Yong." Qin Yong nodded in response.

  "It was you who robbed Liu Qi's medicine field." the man said.

  "Senior brother, you're joking. The medicine field belongs to the sect, how can we snatch it away? It's just that at first, the sect handed over the medicine field to Liu Qi, and now it's been handed over to me. After all, we are just administrators." Qin Yong said calmly.

  "What nonsense is this? I didn't come here to joke around with you." The man scowled and growled, but didn't dwell on the matter. "I don't care who stole from whom, whether it's you or Liu Qi who's in charge of the medicine field, it doesn't matter. But since it's you now, everything is easy to say."

  Qin Yong's eyebrows slightly raised, and he secretly became vigilant. He had originally thought that the other party was here to help Liu Qi, but now it seemed that wasn't the case. However, precisely because of this, Qin Yong became even more worried, fearing that real trouble was coming.

  "Qin Yong, you lucky kid. I'm here this time on the orders of Master Wang Hai, to take you to meet him." The man said.

  "Big Brother Wang Hai!" Qin Yong was shocked, it turned out to be Wang Hai.

  This Wang Hai, is actually the backing of Liu Qi's original seizure of the medicine field. Originally supported Liu Qi, but now that Liu Qi has been frustrated and also had Liu Yan personally speak out, the medicine field will be managed by Qin Yong and won't easily change hands. And yet, Wang Hai chose to recruit Qin Yong.

  Although Qin Yong had thought of this possibility, he didn't think it was likely, and didn't expect it to happen so quickly. From this point on, Qin Yong also saw that Wang Hai was not ordinary, strictly speaking, yesterday was Liu Yan's intention, but Qin Yong himself refused Liu Qi, which also offended Wang Hai.

  "That's right, Wang Hai thinks highly of you and wants to take you under his wing. When the time comes, not only will you not be treated as an ordinary disciple, but even if you're just an outer sect disciple, you won't have anything to fear. You'll even be able to command some people. And when Wang Hai becomes an inner sect disciple, you might even have a chance to become one of his personal followers. At that time, it will truly be like taking a step into the heavens." The man said, with a hint of jealousy in his tone.

  It was clear that the man's words were indeed Wang Hai's intention, and even the man himself was moved. In front of him, there was nothing to be said about the man, he was also one of Wang Hai's subordinates, and other outer disciples who were stronger than him did not dare to offend him. However, becoming a follower disciple was not something that anyone could do, the man had never had this opportunity, but now knowing that Qin Yong might get this chance, he naturally felt jealous and envied Qin Yong's good fortune.

  It's just because Liu Yan Shifu needs someone to take care of the spiritual medicine, and Qin Yong gets this opportunity, immediately rising to fame. As long as he can keep the chance to be in charge of the medicine field, he will immediately become a sought-after person, not to mention outer door disciples, even some inner door disciples may also come to recruit him.

  However, the top ten geniuses among Wang Hai's overseas disciples are even more promising than those mediocre inner door disciples. This is also why so many outer door disciples are willing to become Wang Hai's subordinates and hope to become his followers in the future.

  At this time, the man's tone was full of confidence. In his opinion, this was a great opportunity that Qin Yong would not refuse. After all, even if he took care of Ling Yao for Liu Yan, it was impossible to climb up to Liu Yan like this. The gap between their status was too big, but with Wang Hai's support, it was different. After operation, it may be possible to get in touch with Liu Yan. At that time, even if Wang Hai became a meritorious vassal, he might become a follower disciple in the future and have some relationship with Liu Yan. No one would refuse this.
