“Kid, what’s your name?”
Lin Jianyuan looked around, and seeing that no one else was paying attention to him apart from his companions, he smiled and asked Ye Feng.
“Senior Brother, my name is Ye Feng.”
“Oh, how did you get this Disciple Recruitment Jade Token?”
“I bought it.”
Ye Feng had originally intended to say it was passed down from his ancestors, but thinking that if he didn't tell the truth and was exposed, there would be big trouble, he changed his answer.
“Yo, you little rascal!”
“Senior Brother, is there any problem with me doing this?”
“No problem. I’m going to ask you something now. If you can agree to it, then I’ll take you into the Sect.”
Lin Jianyuan’s eyes darted around a few times, already weighing how to maximize his own benefits.
“Alright, Senior Brother, please speak.”
Ye Feng grew excited.
“You’re not young anymore. There’s definitely no hope for you to become an Outer Sect Disciple. You can only be a Utility Disciple now. A Utility Disciple, as the name suggests, is a Disciple who does utility work. I can send you to Di Yong Peak now and give you a basic Cultivation Technique. Whether you succeed or not depends on yourself. How about it?”
“Alright, then thank you, Senior Brother! May I ask your name? When I become rich, I will definitely come back to repay you!”
“Cough cough, you don’t need to know my name too clearly, Junior Brother.”
“Junior Brother, you stay here and guard. I’ll take him into the Sect.”
“Senior Brother, what’s seen is shared!”
The other gate-keeping Disciple quickly responded.
“No problem, you’ll get your share!”
Lin Jianyuan said with a smile.
Listening to their conversation, Ye Feng had a bad feeling.
But the most important thing now was to enter the Xuantian Sect, obtain a Cultivation Technique, and start to Cultivate!
Everything else was secondary.
Then, Lin Jianyuan patted the Storage Pouch at his waist, and a Flying Sword appeared in his hand. He then continued to manipulate the Flying Sword to enlarge it, until the blade was as wide as his shoulders and its length increased to over two meters.
“Come up. Hug me tightly from behind. If you fall and die, I won’t be responsible.”
Lin Jianyuan glanced at Ye Feng.
“Yes, Senior Brother!”
Ye Feng responded, immediately stood on the Flying Sword, and then wrapped his arms around the other person’s waist.
In this situation, it was clear that the other person was going to take him on a Flying Sword.
The various departments of the Xuantian Sect were built on different peaks, making travel inconvenient. The peaks soared into the sky, mostly high mountains over two thousand meters above the ground. If one were to walk and climb, it would take at least several hours.
A moment later, Lin Jianyuan activated the Flying Sword and began to fly with Ye Feng.
The speed of the Flying Sword was not very fast, only equivalent to a regular small car.
But the experience of flying in the air was truly exhilarating.
Looking down hundreds of meters, it was enough to make many acrophobia sufferers wish they were on a funeral pyre.
Looking into the distance, one could see many buildings, pavilions, and towers with unique characteristics on the mountainsides of various peaks.
“Senior Brother, what level of Cultivation is required to achieve this kind of Flying Sword?”
“Generally, Qi Refining Eighth Level is sufficient. I am currently at the Qi Refining Ninth Layer.”
“What peaks are there in this Sect?”
“What is the Cultivation of the most powerful Old Ancestor?”
During the short few minutes of travel, Ye Feng continuously asked questions.
Lin Jianyuan, for the sake of Spirit Stones, answered Ye Feng one by one.
“In our Xuantian Sect, the most powerful is Old Ancestor Xuan Yuan, who has Nascent Soul Cultivation. Next are 17 Golden Core Elders and one Golden Core Sect Master.”
“The Sect is divided into Xuantian Peak, where the Sect Master and Old Ancestor reside; Danxia Peak, which mainly deals with Alchemy and cultivation; Qi Xuan Peak, which mainly deals with Artifact Refining and Formation; Fufa Peak, which mainly deals with talisman crafting; Xuanxiu Mountain Range, which mainly manages True Disciples; Tianli Peak, which mainly deals with missions and law enforcement. All these peaks have Golden Core Elders stationed there and their own Scripture Pavilion.”
“In addition, there is Zhenxiu Peak, which manages Inner Sect Disciples; Chuxiu Peak, which manages Outer Sect Disciples; Di Yong Peak, which manages Utility Disciples. There are also other peaks that you will gradually learn about later.”
“Now I’m taking you to Di Yong Peak.”
Not long after Lin Jianyuan finished speaking, the two arrived at a platform on the mountainside of Di Yong Peak.
It looked as if it had been deliberately cut by someone; what should have been a steep mountainside was forcibly carved into a platform, leaving only half of the mountain.
And on the platform, there were a large number of buildings, some built of brick and stone, others merely of wood and straw.
Under Lin Jianyuan’s lead, the two arrived inside a brick and stone building. In the vast hall, only a few people were stationed there.
“Manager Xu, I’ve brought you someone. He came up the mountain himself and is willing to be a Utility Disciple.”
Lin Jianyuan said with a smile to a middle-aged man in his forties.
“He’s also a Martial Artist, with Innate Middle Stage Cultivation. You have to give me a good price!”
“A Martial Artist! And Innate Middle Stage! This, this is good!”
“Kid, come here!”
The middle-aged man, Xu Changsheng, also became happy and pointed at Ye Feng.
“Alright, Manager Xu.”
Ye Feng also called him the same as Lin Jianyuan and walked to Xu Changsheng’s front.
In a moment, Xu Changsheng took out a transparent crystal ball.
“Come, put your hand on this. I’ll test your Spiritual Root.”
Ye Feng followed the instruction, quickly put his hand on it, and was a little expectant of what kind of Spiritual Root he would have, hoping for a good one.
If he got a Heavenly Spiritual Root or Earthly Spiritual Root, that would be awesome.
“Clear your mind, don’t think about anything.”
“Breathe calmly, relax.”
Xu Changsheng instructed Ye Feng.
A moment later, the crystal ball flashed golden, green, fiery red, and earthy yellow, and the brightness was not low.
“Grade B Spiritual Qi affinity? Not bad, not bad. It can be considered a good seedling. Four Spiritual Roots are also acceptable; it’s not the Five Spiritual Roots of a useless person. It’s just a pity that he’s too old. I’m afraid there’s no hope for Foundation Establishment, though there’s a chance he might Cultivate to Qi Refining Eighth or Ninth Layer before 60.”
“If he had joined the Sect at a normal thirteen or fourteen years old, there would still be some hope for Foundation Establishment.”
Xu Changsheng looked at these colors and began to make his judgment, saying with much regret.
“Manager Xu, why do you say that? Even if I Cultivate to Qi Refining Ninth Layer before 30, I still can’t Foundation Establishment?”
Ye Feng was a little anxious. If he really couldn’t Foundation Establishment, then coming to this Xuantian Sect was truly a wrong choice.
In Black Wind Stronghold, he was the Great Chief, able to command the wind and summon the rain, living a very comfortable life. As an Innate Martial Artist, as long as there were no accidents, living to 150 years old was not a problem.
But upon arriving at this Xuantian Sect, if he couldn’t Breakthrough to Foundation Establishment, his lifespan wouldn’t increase to 300. His lifespan would be similar to before, and he would still have to work like an ox for others. That would truly be asking for trouble!
