Chapter 188: An unprecedented recruitment
Seeing Han Bing's indifferent attitude, Mu Qingying smiled awkwardly and said, "Here, there are five Yuan Pills, two Yuan Rank Dandings, a Blood God Grass, a Millennium Dragon King Root, and ......."
"What does President Mu want Han to do with these things?"
"Sect Master Han is too worried, I came here this time just to express the goodwill of the Xiuzhen Alliance to the Cloud Mist Sect, and I will not ask Sect Master Han to do anything, Sect Master Han, although you and I have had some misunderstandings and frictions before, but it is all a trivial matter, after a long time, we will forget it, and besides, we have a common enemy, don't we?"
"You mean Stormwind City?" Han Bing said.
Mu Qingying nodded. said: "The queen of Stormwind City is extremely ambitious, if she doesn't crack down, I think it won't be long before her power will spread to the entire continent, and when the time comes, will there be a place for Sect Master Han to stand on you?"
Han Bing smiled faintly, Stormwind City is like this, and the Xiuzhen Alliance is not a fuel-efficient lamp, there is some warning in her words, the so-called those who follow me prosper, and those who go against me die.
"President Mu thinks too highly of Han, Han is just a small head of the Cloud Mist Sect, in the eyes of the Xiuzhen Alliance, it is just a small role, President Mu can rest assured, the Cloud Mist Sect just wants to survive safely, and will not deliberately be an enemy of the Xiuzhen Alliance. Han Bing said.
"Come on, serve some snacks to the guests and entertain them well," Han Bing stood up and said to the guards, then turned his head to look at Mu Qingying and said, "Han still has something important to do, go first." β
"Sect Master Han is polite. Mu Qingying smiled.
When Han Bing walked away, Mu Qingying's face began to become a little melancholy.
"Elder Mu, looking at Sect Master Han's intentions, he doesn't want to submit to my alliance. β
"I know. Mu Qingying nodded, sighed, glanced at the snacks on the table, got up and said, "Let's go back too." β
Han Bing walked out of the reception room and came to the north of Cloud Square, where a small tower was being built, this small tower, called the Ice Tower, was requested by Han Bing, and he would arrange some formations in this tower, so that the entire tower would be under the pressure of the powerful ice system.
The Ice Tower is for low-level disciples who are new to the game, and all the new disciples have the opportunity to go to the Ice Tower to comprehend, and through the special formation exercises here, if they are lucky, they may be able to cultivate some disciples who are suitable for cultivating the Ice Exercises.
Mu Qingying's arrival gave him a lot of pressure, and he was valued by the Xiuzhen Alliance, which was not good news for him. Right now, he had to expand the strength of the Cloud Mist Sect as soon as possible, and he naturally wouldn't be naΓ―ve enough to think that the Cultivation Alliance couldn't withstand the little Cloud Mist Sect.
No matter how strong the Cloud Mist Sect's mountain protection array is, if the alliance sends enough troops, it will still be able to break through it. When the time comes, he will still inevitably be hunted down, and the people in power in the alliance will not allow themselves to live under their rule in peace as a threat, and even if they intend to submit, it is impossible to gain their trust enough.
Think about the Han family in the Moon God Realm at the beginning, the royal family of the Moon God Realm doesn't care if you rebel against their rule, what they really care about is whether you have the ability to rebel.
The day when the Cloud Mist Sect recruited new disciples had finally arrived.
On this day, on the cloud square, teenagers and girls from all over the world gathered, Xia Wanqi personally presided over the recruitment process, behind Xia Wanqi, every elder and inner disciple who saw the scene in front of him was amazed.
"Vice Sect Master Xia, this is the most lively selection of new disciples that my subordinates have experienced since they came to the Cloud Mist Sect, and now there are 50,000 people gathered in the Cloud Mist Square, and there are still a large number of applicants waiting outside the four gates of the Cloud Mist Sect. β
Xia Wanqi smiled and nodded, her eyes scanned the audience, according to rough estimates, the total number of applicants was almost more than 500,000, she believed that even the largest sect under the Xiuzhen Alliance would not recruit people to such a level.
"It seems that we are still underestimating the influence of the Monks of the Holy Phase. Xia Wanqi sighed.
"Yes, it is rumored outside that the ice system exercises can break through the shackles of the sunset star and cannot be turned into saints, this kind of saying has been widely spread, alas, it is a pity that the old decay cannot be counted on in this life. One elder sighed.
"The sect master has already said that all the selected ones will have the opportunity to try it in the ice tower, maybe, this time, there will really be a surprise?" someone chimed in.
In the sky, a long rainbow streaked by.
The eyes of Xia Wanqi and others were immediately attracted by her, and it was Liu Yue.
"Miss Liu Yue is finally out of the customs. Xia Wanqi hurriedly greeted her, and said with a smile, in just a few months, Liu Yue's cultivation has become the middle stage of the soul void, and she has stepped into the middle stage of the soul reality.
"Sect Master Xia, Master asked me to help you out. Liu Yue said respectfully.
"How dare you trouble Miss Liuyue," Xia Wanqi said with a smile, "However, you are here, it is still very effective." Xia Wanqi pointed to the audience and said.
Sure enough, Liu Yue's appearance, the originally calm square, immediately became lively.
"There really are ice monks. β
"yes, it seems to be true, I thought it was a rumor. β
"We've come to the right place, we really have the opportunity to learn ice exercises here. β
There was a lot of talk.
Under the auspices of several inner disciples, the selection work was carried out in an orderly manner according to the established procedures, Liu Yue stood aside, her divine sense swept over the candidates one by one, according to Han Bing's request, she was responsible for preliminarily investigating whether there were some people with outstanding talents who could change their physique and practice ice exercises.
All the conscripts, when they passed by Liu Yue's side, had extremely pious and adoring eyes. There were some male recruits, and even saliva fell on the placket of their clothes, after all, Liu Yue's quiet beauty was still very easy to arouse their hormones.
Even some of the inner disciples who were in charge of the application test also swept their eyes over her from time to time, intentionally or unintentionally.
"Wait. Liu Yue said suddenly, and in front of her, a young man with beautiful eyebrows was stopped by her. The young man was slightly stunned, and then looked at Liu Yue with ecstasy.
"Sister Liu Yue, what's wrong with him?" the inner disciple who was in charge of reviewing the application was stunned for a moment and asked suspiciously.
"Take him to the ice tower. Liu Yue nodded.
Hearing her words, the people around her suddenly looked bright, the person designated by Liu Yue went to the Ice Tower, didn't that mean that the chance of this person being able to practice the Ice Technique was very high? In an instant, the young man almost gathered the envious gaze of everyone around him.
"Yes. The inner disciple immediately clenched his fists respectfully, not daring to slack off in the slightest, although Liu Yue did not serve in the Cloud Mist Sect, her identity was there, as if in the minds of many disciples, she became the first person below the sect master.
"Thank you. The young man's eyes were hot, and under the leadership of the inner disciple, he walked in the direction of the ice tower.
The tests continued.
Liu Yue stood for an hour in a row, and she didn't find much, but when a girl passed by, she looked a few more times.
"Let her go too. While Liu Yue spoke, the girl had already been tested and was ready to be sent to the next test point.
Immediately, the girl was brought to Liu Yue, "Is that her? The inner disciple asked.
Liu Yue nodded, her eyes were on the girl, the girl was sixteen or seventeen years old, she looked well-behaved and sweet, Liu Yue seemed to see herself from her.
"What's your name, where are you from?" asked Liu Yue.
"Back to the examiner's sister's words, the little girl's name is Li Hui, a person from the Tianxu Kingdom, and her family has been planting medicinal herbs for generations. The girl said timidly.
Liu Yue nodded, glanced at the girl again, and said, "Your qualifications are good, go and wait at the gate of the ice tower." β
"Thank you, Sister Examiner. The girl perked up and said in a loud voice. The girl's body once again attracted the envious eyes of the surroundings.
The whole recruitment process lasted a full ten days.
Of the more than 500,000 people who came to apply, about 120,000 were finally admitted, which was the largest number of new disciples in the history of the Cloud Mist Sect at one time. These newcomers are all juniors in the Qi refining period.
Liu Yue selected a total of 25 people, these 25 people have priority to enter the ice tower for testing, everyone has the opportunity to enter the ice tower, and those who are not selected by Liu Yue will of course have to wait in line.
Xia Wanqi led the elders to screen and selected some people for each hall such as the Dan Hall, the Painting Hall, and the Refining Hall. These people are not new disciples, they have the highest cultivation level, they have reached the early stage of soul reality, and they are recruited from small families and scattered cultivators from all over the world.
Among all the halls, there is only the exception of the Mining Hall, which does not add one person from the new disciples from outside, and all the members are served by old disciples.
For all the new Qi Refining Stage disciples, the Cloud Mist Sect teaches according to a unified curriculum, and after three years, they will be re-selected and reassigned to different halls.
Outside the Ice Tower, dozens of new disciples who were worried in their hearts had already gathered, and the Ice Tower could enter up to ten people at a time.
The entire ice tower is divided into five layers, the fifth layer is the highest, the coercion is the strongest, the first floor hall is the weakest, all the disciples will enter the first layer first, even if it is the hall of the first layer, Han Bing has also set up a coercion equivalent to the middle stage of the soul realm, the second layer has reached the early stage of the transformation of the Yuan, the third layer of the late stage of the transformation of the Yuan, the fourth layer has reached the transformation of the saint, and the fifth layer at the top, on the basis of the ice pressure of the transformation period, has added a trace of the power of the Nether Flame.
Liu Yue walked out of the ice tower, she had just experienced the effect of an ice tower herself. The test of the ice tower was personally presided over by Liu Yue with two assistants.
When she appeared, the surroundings immediately fell silent, and all eyes were on her.
"According to the number just now, the first ten people enter the hall on the first floor, the pressure inside is very high, but there will be no danger to their lives, and if they can go to the center of the hall and insist on more than ten breaths, they will be automatically teleported to the second floor, and the same is true on the second floor. Let's go. Liu Yue said.
Several disciples who had drawn numbers from one to ten immediately looked nervous, in their opinion, this was an opportunity to decide the fate of their lives.
Liu Yue glanced at a few people, her voice softened, and she said softly: "Don't be nervous, this is just a test, the calmer the mentality, the better." As long as I can hold on to a pillar of incense in the hall on the first floor, I can become my disciple and be taught the Ice Exercises. β
Listening to Liu Yue's words, everyone's faces showed a determined look, the first person gritted his teeth and walked in the direction of the tower gate, with him taking the lead, the other nine people also hurriedly followed.
"Sister Liu Yue, actually, even if it's me, I want to go in and try it. Beside Liu Yue, an inner disciple who came to be an assistant looked at the backs of the ten people and sighed.
Liu Yue smiled slightly and did not speak. This kind of test is only suitable for disciples in the Qi refining period.
"I heard that the person who can enter the fifth layer of the Ice Tower will become the sect master's personal disciple, is it true?" asked another assistant.
Liu Yue nodded and said, "That's what Master said, but the fifth layer has the ice system coercion of the Transformation Saint Period, and there is a trace of the power of the Nether Flame in it, these people will not have a chance." β
