THE CULTIVATION OF BESIDE DEVIL CULTIVATOR
97: Traitor This Time
Jiang Hao knew his name. When he judged Mu Qi, his name appeared in the information that his ability provided.
He was a Saint from the Heavenly Saint Sect, who had once had an affair with Mu Qi.
Jiang Hao was worried. He's confused too. If he was a traitor or a spy who wanted to enter the Heavenly Note Sect, why would he reveal his cultivation and approach them directly?
“Your cultivation area is very impressive. May I ask which sect you come from?” said Jiang Hao.
The others were surprised. So, there was someone this strong among them and they didn't even notice it!
People felt lucky because they did not try to provoke him.
“Heavenly Sacred Sect,” Miao Tinglian said honestly. “I betrayed the sect and am here to surrender myself to your sect. If you agree to take me to see your master, I will pledge allegiance here.”
Jiang Hao felt a headache coming. He really did not want to use his Daily Valuation on just anyone.
Both the Heavenly Note Sect and the Heavenly Saint Sect were demon sects, but that didn't mean the two got along. They are both crazy and brutal.
Jiang Hao hesitated.
“Of course, nothing is free,” Miao Tinglian said with a bright smile. He took out a small bottle. “If you agree, this is yours.”
Zheng Shijiu and Feng Baifei were stunned.
The Heavenly Rejuvenation Pill was the thing they coveted the most to reach the Golden Core Realm. It's very valuable.
Jiang Hao looked at him. He knew what it was and wanted it badly. It usually cost three thousand to ten thousand spirit stones.
He could sell it for more…
Jiang Hao activated his Daily Rating ability on Miao Tinglian.
[Miao Tinglian: One of the Saints of the Heavenly Saint Sect. In the intermediate stage of the Golden Core Realm. Very talented. He defected from his sect and wanted to join the Heartbroken Cliff so as not to be captured by the Heavenly Sacred Sect. He had once had an affair with Mu Qi of the Broken Heart Cliff. He defected from his sect for her sake.]
Jiang Hao was silent. When he judged Mu Qi a long time ago, he was worried that Mu Qi was a traitor because of his relationship with Miao Tinglian. Jiang Hao never expected that a Saint would defect from his sect and instead betray them.
Jiang Hao realized that he was not a threat for now. He pushed the bottle back at her. “See entry tomorrow. I'm afraid you'll have to wait until then. First, I need to report to my master about your proposition. Please forgive me."
Jiang Hao knew that if he accepted the pill, all responsibility lay with him. He will be blamed if anything happens. If he did not receive the pill, then he was free from that burden.
Zheng Shijiu and the others looked at the pill with hungry eyes.
Miao Tinglian agreed to Jiang Hao's suggestion.
Tests continued. After the first exam, they already had over three hundred disciples, including Miao Tinglian. Technically, the mission has been completed, and they can go back home.
However, they persisted for the second test.
Miao Xing shared the book with everyone. This is the last chance for the community. Despite failing the aptitude test, they could always prove themselves in the comprehension test. However, people who fail the first test rarely successfully pass the second test.
"alright. Start reading Heavenly Sound String,” Miao Xing said.
Jiang Hao's gaze was fixed on Little Li and the weak boy.
The Heavenly Sound String was the first chapter of the Hundred Revolutions Heavenly Note and was used to test one's talent.
Moreover, it is completely open to the public. Even other sects would sometimes use the same method to test their disciples.
It was said that the Sect Master had made this test.
The book was also made specifically with magic. If one's comprehension ability is good, then the book will shine brighter. Simply put, it was divided into seven parts.
A moment later, two men and a woman were chosen because their book shone brightest.
One of them even surpassed the last part.
Little Li still had no talent. Jiang Hao was confused. The weak youth managed to illuminate three more pieces. His name is Lin Zhi.
'Hm.. I should probably judge Little Li tomorrow,' thought Jiang Hao.
Lin Zhi had just managed to enter the sect. So, there's no need to judge him. However, Little Li…
Jiang Hao needed to ascertain whether he was just an ordinary child, or if his talent was hidden.
“You're all very lucky. You found two of the best talents from a small group, ” said Miao Tinglian.
Jiang Hao did not say anything, but he was right. It is rare to find two top talents among two thousand people.
After the comprehension test, there were thirty more people added to the list.
The final test is the test of perseverance.
“Test compatibility, understanding, and perseverance..Every easy,” Miao Tinglian said.
He was a cultivator of the Golden Core Realm. He doesn't have to pass any exams. If not for his complicated background, he would have already been accepted as an inner sect disciple.
“We will take them tomorrow,” said Zheng Shijiu. “Make them stay somewhere for today.”
Miao Xing nodded. He then glanced at Jiang Hao. “Senior brother Jiang, do I let Little Li stay or should I let her go?”
The little girl had no talent whatsoever. He failed both tests. So, there's no reason to hold it.
“Let him stay. I will decide it tomorrow,” said Jiang Hao.
He bid farewell to Miao Tinglian and flew back with the others. Two prominent talents were also brought to the sect.
Before they left, Jiang Hao saw Zhao Qingxue and Lin MO bid Lin Zhi farewell.
Lin Zhi forced herself to smile and try to make her friends happy.
Everyone can see that these two best talents have unlimited potential and a bright future. Meanwhile, he had just made it in.
Jiang Hao hoped that Lin Zhi could survive in the sect. He needed to find a way to live in the demon sect where the strong harassed the weak.
Jiang Hao's heart ached when he realized that Lin Zhi might one day keep his distance from his two best friends. He hoped that the boy would be able to endure it.
“Senior, in which branch will we be accepted?” asked Lin MO on the way.
“We don't know yet,” said Zheng Shijiu friendly. “However, with your talent, you will be appreciated wherever you go.”
“Can we fly like you in the future? Will we be strong like you?” asked Lin Mo.
Xin Yuyue chuckled. “You will be stronger than all of us.”
Jiang Hao said nothing. Having high-level talent was truly envious.
However, being a mediocre person was not bad either.
“Our friend... can he join us too?” zhao Qingxue asked.
“She... can't,” Yue You said gently. “Lin Zhi, right? I watched him for quite a while, but his talent and understanding were limited. The gap between the two of you and him is insurmountable. But I think you already know. You guys are friends anyway.”
After a while, they landed at the entrance of the Law Enforcement Hall. The masters of each branch were all summoned.
They briefly explained the level of talent of the two children. It seems that every master wants it for their own branch.
Jiang Hao told his master that there were some other things he needed to report. Ku Wu Chang told him to follow him later to his residence.
Jiang Hao was relieved. He needed to resolve Miao Tinglian's matter as soon as possible..
