Chapter 20 020: Recruitment!
These few days, Lin Xian had the same nightmare; it seemed that the nightmare wanted to convey something to him. But Lin Xian, at this time, still did not understand the meaning of the nightmare that always came to him.
"Is this an omen from my previous life?" Lin Xian muttered while holding his chin.
"Xian'er, are you okay?" asked Liu Xue from behind the door.
Lin Xian turned his head smiling at his sister, "I'm fine. Just having a bad dream." Lin Xian replied while looking down.
"But don't worry, I'll be fine. You can continue your cultivation together with Yi Qi." Lin Xian said as he widened a smile at Liu Xue.
Without answering Lin Xian's words, Liu Xue immediately did as her little brother said.
Because what they needed right now was to cultivate and strengthen their inner strength.
The days have passed. The three decided to cultivate in the inn, waiting for the day of the sect's recruitment of new disciples.
Lin Xian's cultivation remained at the first stage of Qi Refining. Liu Xue also broke through, and Yi Qi had the same cultivation.
Then the day of recruiting new sect disciples arrived. They found out the information when the town of Nigel became busier than usual.
At this time, Lin Xian, Liu Xue, and Yi Qi came out of the inn. They headed straight to where the recruitment was held.
"Is only talent determined to enter the sect?" Lin Xian asked on the way.
"No. Although Talent is number 1, some individuals will be recruited into sect disciples if they have high intelligence and fighting ability." Liu Xue replied.
Lin Xian understood instantly. However, it would be rare for a sect to recruit new disciples who only relied on combat skills. They would prioritize Talent first.
Because if the Talent is high, their cultivation will automatically increase quickly. No matter how high an individual's combat ability was, they would still lose due to the difference in cultivation levels.
From that, Lin Xian understood that he would not be recruited unless some sect took an interest in him.
However, he felt that it didn't matter because he did not plan to join the sect for a while.
"How about you, Qi'er? Are you interested in joining a sect?" Liu Xue asked.
"If you guys enter the sect, I will join," Yi Qi replied.
Lin Xian chuckled at this. Within eight days, the little girl would obviously follow him and his sister wherever they went. That was why Lin Xian treated the little girl like a normal sister.
"It looks like there's a lot of people there already." Lin Xian said while looking at the crowd.
The place they arrived at was the suburb of Nigel. There you can see a lot of children aged 10 to 18 years.
It could be seen that there were 14 individuals in the distance who were looking at the crowd. They all have different clothes. Not far from the 14 individuals standing staring at the crowd, 14 looked different from them, approaching old age.
Looking at all these individuals, Lin Xian speculated that they might be elders from their respective sects.
"Excuse me, What are the conditions for entering the sect?" Lin Xian asked the individual in front of him.
The individual in front of Lin Xian was a boy around 16 years old. He turned his head back and looked at Lin Xian, then replied.
"The test is divided into two batches. Their first batch of tests will only examine an individual's aptitude in terms of Talent. That is, the number of opened profound doors and the quality of an individual's Profound Veins."
"The test of the second wave is to recruit disciples from the matches. However, the recruitment is not due to an individual winning. Rather, it is selected by the Elders of the sect."
Hearing that, the expressions on the three of them immediately contorted.
Liu Xue was nervous because she didn't think she was talented. Therefore maybe she would part ways with Lin Xian.
"Thank you for the information." Lin Xian said to the young man in front of him, immediately nodded, and followed the queue again.
"Xian'er, do we have to take the entrance test into the sect?" Liu Xue asked nervously.
"Have you changed your mind?" Lin Xian asked strangely.
"It's not like that. I'm afraid my Talent isn't enough to enter the sect." Liu Xue replied, which made Lin Xian's face twitch.
Seeing Lin Xian's strange-looking face, Liu Xue felt confused. "What's wrong, Xian'er?"
"You are the most talented among us." Lin Xian said with a sigh.
"How do you know?" Liu Xue asked.
"I can't tell you. All the sects will surely try to bring you into their sect and offer you anything and everything," said Lin Xian confidently.
Liu Xue and Yi Qi were shocked to hear Lin Xian's statement.
The people around Lin Xian also looked at Liu Xue. They all scoffed because Lin Xian had made such a statement.
***
In the distance, someone staring at the registration area gave off killing intent.
He was the Zou Shang who was chasing after Lin Xian. "It's true that you came here. I will arrest you even if you enter into a certain Sect." Zou Shang hissed furiously as he saw Lin Xian's face from a distance.
***
On Lin Xian's side, a child's voice sounded.
"Wake up, losers! Did you think all sects bring in someone that easily? You guys think too much of yourselves as geniuses that appear once every 1000 years." A handsome 14-year-old boy in luxurious clothes ridiculed Lin Xian for saying that.
Liu Xue was angry instantly because Lin Xian was humiliated. Likewise, Yi Qi. The two of them considered Lin Xian's Talent to be the highest among the three of them.
Liu Xue and Yi Qi wanted to curse at the child but were stopped by Lin Xian.
"Are you willing to bet?" Lin Xian asked with a smile.
"Huh? Fine commoner. What bet do you want?" Said the boy.
Lin Xian took out several pouches filled with Gold Coins. It was a Gold Coin belonging to Yi Qi and his previous partner, whom he killed.
"Let's make a bet; if I'm saying it is true, you will have to pay with this amount of Gold Coins. The amount of Gold Coins in this pouch is 2,500 Gold Coins." Lin Xian said with a smiling face.
"Hmmm, fine! I'll take all of your Gold Coins, loser! Remember, the name of the one who is more talented than you are Tian Ming." Tian Ming snorted. He immediately waved his hand, and the maid came up from afar.
Everyone was surprised to hear Tian Ming's name because the Tian clan was one of the largest Clans located not far from Nigel City. And Tian Ming was the sole Young Master of the Tian clan.
