THE CULTIVATION OF BESIDE DEVIL CULTIVATOR
95: Recruitment of Students
“Young Brother Jiang, your cultivation has improved tremendously,” Zheng Shijiu said as he waited for the others to come.
"Not really. I can never hope to compete with you, Senior Brother Zheng.”
In the previous mission, Zheng Shijiu found Jiang Hao calm and reserved. However, after what had happened within the Devil's Nest, he did not dare to underestimate it.
“Young Brother Jiang, you won the competition, right?” ask Xin Yuye.
Jiang Hao nodded. “I really want that seed.”
Zheng Shijiu sighed. “You are always very careful.”
Xin Yuyue felt it was a pity that she had won and still picked the most useless prize. If it was a cultivation technique, he would offer to buy it from Jiang Hao at a reasonable price.
However, Ning Wanping had used a cultivation technique. Xin Yuyue obviously couldn't get it from him.
Many people were shocked because Ning Wanping had obtained such cultivation techniques. He was actually the last person to choose his prize.
Jiang Hao's victory once again made Xin Yuyue and Zheng Shijiu feel that this disciple was not as simple as it seemed.
After a while, a woman with a large sword on her back walked up to them. The sword on his back was very visible.
At first glance he recognized Zheng Shijiu. “Hello, I am Yue You from Flowing
Waterfall. I'm so sorry I made you wait.”
"That's right. We just arrived.” Zheng Shijiu smiled. “Junior Sister Yue You, your sword is very eye-catching. Aren't you tired of carrying such a big sword?”
"Not really. I need it for my cultivation,” Yue You said.
Jiang Hao glanced at him. Yue You looked calm and composed. He doesn't seem to be a person who likes to talk a lot.
Judging from his aura, he was definitely at the middle stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm.
A bald man approached them. He had a muscle that was vibrating and looked extremely fierce. He was Feng Baifei from the Hundred Bones Forest
When Jiang Hao looked at him, Feng Baifai stared back.
After the five men arrived, they set out to complete their mission. Recruitment should have been done on another hill. On the way, they had to pass through a ravine surrounded by clouds.
Right now, they were flying across the ravine. The ocean of clouds makes it very difficult to see things. They're very alert.
“It is said that the sect's spirit beast, Heaven-Eating Giant Crocodile, is kept under.” Zheng Shijiu looked at the clouds.
Jiang Hao had also heard the same thing, but he had never seen the beast.
There were people who had visited the place, but none of them confirmed whether the rumors were true.
“I heard something the crocodile ate. It was an accident, but the Law Enforcement Hall was worried,” Yue You said.
The five people increased their speed and crossed the bottomless pit.
After a while, they reached a mountain. There was a small box on it, but there were not many people there, except for someone who was at the early stages of the Realm of Cultivation Foundation.
“Senior, greetings!” said Miao Xing.
Miao Xing looked like he was in his thirties. It seemed that he was assigned to help the sect because he had no hope of advancing further.
“Halo, Young Brother Miao. Is everyone here?” asked Zheng Shijiu.
The weakest person of Jiang Hao's group was at the middle stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm. Miao Xing could not compare to them. He knows that too.
“Young Brother Jiang, you've never done a recruit, have you?” asked Zheng Shijiu. “I'll explain it to you. All the disciples who had entered the sect were already organized by his juniors. On the day of recruitment, we only need to assess and confirm their recruitment. The recruitment process is carried out in two ways. First, if anyone has cultivation talent, we can directly recruit him. If talent alone was not enough, then they would have to go through another test that would measure their willpower. If they succeed in that, we can recruit them into the sect as disciples. If you feel someone is a match, you can even recruit them as outer sect disciples for the branch you are in. All we need to do now is to go to the foot of the mountain and see which disciple has the talent to cultivate. As long as they don't take it, you can just recruit it.” "So that's it." Jiang Hao nodded.
“I wonder if we will find someone talented this year,” Feng Baifei said.
Others are curious too. Everyone feels excited when following the recruitment process. If there were people with extraordinary talent, they could always recruit such a person to his own branch.
Jiang Hao looked down from the edge of the mountain. Many people gathered there.
“We have a total of 2,656 people signed up this time, but only 2,632 have appeared today,” Miao Xing said.
Most of them seemed very ordinary. Jiang Hao himself was not considered a role model. He was just a little above average.
“Come down and test their talent.” Yue You were very excited.
Jiang Hao felt relatively safer in this mission compared to the previous one. Feng Baifei occasionally glared at him but did nothing more. Everything's been fine so far.
He didn't think anyone would try to cause trouble during the hiring process. After all, this was an important mission for the sect.
Right now, everyone was putting aside their grudges and doing what they needed to do. They wanted to recruit the most talented people to their own branch.
In addition, the Law Enforcement Agency has not found any evidence of the killing. Since Jiang Hao was the biggest suspect back then, the Hundred Bones Forest only treated him as an enemy. However, they have no evidence to take action.
The group of Jiang Hao and Miao Xing flew down to the foot of the mountain.
People cheering. Most of them were eager to join the sect. Jiang Hao understood. He had once been where they were and wished he could fly magically as well.
However, once they joined the sect, they would understand that it would be very difficult to survive, especially when the powerful people continued to harass the weak.
There are two parts to the exam. First, they had to test his compatibility using the jade slip.
The more suitable a person was, the more spiritual energy they would absorb from the jade. Its compatibility cannot be faked or improved because it is something innate.
The next test is the Heart Sutra. It was a test of understanding. This test confirmed whether one had the talent to cultivate.
Jiang Hao and the others, led by Zheng Shijiu, sat at the table and waited for the people to approach them to test their match.
They only had about ten jade slips, but that was enough for the entire group.
The jade slip was divided into seven parts. If the three parts lit up, it meant that the person holding them matched the spiritual energy, and hence, could join as an outer sect disciple.
If only one or two parts are lit, the person should perform an understanding test.
If there were no flaming parts, they could not join the sect at all.
Miao Xing instructed the people to form an orderly line-up. They were allowed to move forward in groups of ten people.
In the first wave, only one person managed to light all three parts.
Xin Yuyue asked her name and took note of it.
Jiang Hao could see excitement and anticipation in the eyes of these people. To them, it did not matter whether it was a demonic sect or not. They just want to get in.
“Next wave,” says Miao Xing.
A little girl walked towards them. Jiang Hao was interested..
