Chapter 2: The Reception Ceremony, Sect Elder!
However, even though the rewards were tempting, regardless of whether it was the Main Quest or the Side Quest, completing them was no easy task.
The first was the Main Quest. The two disciples of Xuan Yi, Lin Zhiyin, who had the best talent, had only just advanced to the second level of the Qi Foundation? Realm, while the other Wang Hu was even worse. He was only at the peak of the seventh level of the Qi Condensation Realm. It was unknown if he could advance to the Soul Condensation Realm.
However, Xuan Yi soon realized that the quest wasn’t to allow Xuan Yi’s disciple to break through to the Soul Condensation Realm, but to reach the Soul Condensation Realm in combat strength. It didn’t seem to be much different, but the difference was quite great.
The level of one’s cultivation wasn’t equal to one’s strength. It was very normal for some geniuses to possess a higher level of combat strength.
Lin Zhiyin didn’t have a master before, but now she has Xuan Yi!
At that time, he could teach her one or two moves, and even get her some high-grade medicinal pills. How would her cultivation realm and combat strength increase?
“In that case, the main quest isn’t particularly difficult.”
“It’s a side quest, that’s difficult.”
The branch quest clearing condition was for Xuan Yi to have a disciple with more than 100 points of aptitude.
However, it wasn’t easy to find a disciple with more than 100 points of aptitude. Xuan Yi had observed it. Even Bai Zisong, who was known as the number one genius of the Profound Sword Sect, only had 92 points of aptitude. He was still a little short of 100 points.
“I hope that I won’t be disappointed in the upcoming ceremony.”
The current Xuan Yi could only put his hopes on the following ceremony.
If it wasn’t, Xuan Yi would probably have to leave the sect in a while to search for it.
The annual gathering of disciples of the Profound Sword Sect was a glorious event for some powers in this region.
Every time it was held, it would attract countless geniuses.
The Heavenly Wind Kingdom had a total of 108 provinces, and the Profound Sword Sect was located in the Southern Province.
Although the Profound Sword Sect wasn’t a top power in the Southern Province, they weren’t weak either. There were four Nascent Soul experts and the sect master, Jian Nantian, was a peak second stage Nascent Soul expert!
One had to know that there was a huge gap between the first and second levels of the Nascent Soul realm. The vast majority of the Southern Province’s Nascent Soul experts were at the first and second levels of the Nascent Soul realm. There were very few at the third level of the Nascent Soul realm. As for the fourth level of the Nascent Soul realm, there wasn’t a single one.
The fourth level of the Nascent Soul realm was the beginning of the mid-stages of the Nascent Soul realm. An expert of this level was one of the strongest in the entire Heavenly Wind Kingdom. The Southern Province, which was ranked behind the Heavenly Wind Kingdom, didn’t have an expert of this level.
By the time Xuan Yi arrived at the Sect’s square it was already filled with people. Countless younger generations from all over the land had arrived here either alone or accompanied by their elders.
The so-called Profound Sword Sect recruitment ceremony could also be said to be a ceremony to recruit Personal disciples for the Elders.
Although it was said to be a disciple recruitment ceremony, only a small portion of these people had the qualifications to be accepted as Personal disciples by the elders of the Profound Sword Sect. Most of them could only become Outer disciples.
However, even becoming an Outer disciple was enough to make these people extremely excited.
Most of the people present didn’t have a good background. People from large clans wouldn’t choose to come to the Profound Sword Sect. Compared to the Profound Sword Sect, they had better choices, such as the Imperial Academy of Tianfeng, known as the cradle of geniuses, and one of the ten great sects of the Tianfeng Kingdom.
However, even though the Profound Sword Sect was nothing in the entire Heavenly Wind Kingdom, in the Southern Province, the words Profound Sword Sect still carried some weight.
“Did you see that? That middle-aged man in embroidered robes standing at the very front is the Sect Master of the Profound Sword Sect, Jian Nantian! A Nascent Soul expert! Nascent Soul! I’m not even at the ninth level of the Soul Condensation Realm, let alone Nascent Soul.”
“That’s fine. Our Fire Lion City doesn’t even have someone in the seventh level of the Soul Condensation stage.”
“Hehe, if I can become a disciple of the Profound Sword Sect, then in the future, I will also have the support of a Nascent Soul expert. When I return, the Patriarch will have to be polite to me.”
“It’s said that the Profound Sword Sect’s Master is not only at the Nascent Soul realm, he’s also at the peak of the second level of the Nascent Soul realm. He’s only a step away from the third level of the Nascent Soul realm!”
“I’m not sure.”
Following the appearance of Jian Nantian and the higher-ups of the Profound Sword Sect, an uproar immediately erupted in the square.
There were endless exclamations of admiration and admiration. In this world where martial arts were respected, experts were naturally sought after.
Not only did the legendary Nascent Soul experts appear in front of them, but there were also more than one. Any one of the higher-ups of the sects would be even stronger than their clan’s strongest experts!
If one of them could become their master...
“How strong! If I could become a disciple of the Profound Sword Sect, then the clan’s crisis would definitely be resolved! Even though the Witherwood Gate is strong, the Profound Sword Sect is even stronger!”
In the crowded square, a beautiful woman who was about seventeen or eighteen years old stared intently at the high-ranking members of the Profound Sword Sect.
The woman’s name was Gui Yiyi. She was the daughter of the head of the Gui Clan in Half Moon City. The Gui Clan she was in was not a small clan in Half Moon City. She was one of the three great clans in Half Moon City.
Half Moon City was a city located in the south of Southern Province. Although it was located in the south of Southern Province as well as the Profound Sword Sect, the distance between the two was still quite far. It took Gui Yiyi and the disciples of the Gui family nearly two weeks to reach the Profound Sword Sect from Half Moon City.
As the daughter of the patriarch of the Gui family, her status was naturally very noble.
However, this honor was limited to Half Moon City.
Gui Yiyi knew very well that her identity was still a bit important in Half Moon City. However, once she left the Half Moon City, she would be nothing. No one would give her any face.
Thus, she had kept a low profile all this time, not provoking disaster.
