Chapter 13: The Storm

Everything is difficult at the beginning, there are Ma Chuang's brothers and sisters who join first, and Zhang Xu believes that more and more people will be willing to join the Iron Sword Gate.

However, what Zhang Xu didn't expect was the scar-faced male cultivator who came in second.

"It's you!"

"It's you!"

Zhang Xu and Ma Chuang's brother and sister pointed to the scar-faced male cultivator and said in unison.

Wei Suo's triangular eyes rolled, and he recognized it, and couldn't help laughing: "Dude, did you eat stones in the square yesterday?"

The scar-faced male cultivator smiled bitterly: "Don't mention the matter of eating stones......

Yesterday, a group of loose cultivators who had spent unjustly spent money vented their anger on him, forcing him to eat the stone raw, but fortunately, he practiced the earth-based exercises, and eating a stone was nothing......

"Master Zhang, in Xia Fengping, please forgive me for offending many things yesterday. I heard that the head of the sect is going to recruit loose cultivators as disciples, so I would like to inquire about the specific situation. ”

......

A quarter of an hour later, Feng Ping was successfully persuaded and agreed to pay a hundred spirit stones to join the Iron Sword Sect.

For many casual cultivators, it is a lifelong dream to become a disciple of a famous sect, and although the Iron Sword Sect is not a big sect, it is also a famous sect, and there is no doubt about the initial sect.

The Great Zhou Dynasty had very strict control over the sects, and without the approval of the Great Zhou court, it was impossible to establish a new sect, and it was illegal to establish it without authorization, and other sects could be killed at will without any responsibility.

Therefore, even if the strength of many casual cultivators reaches the Golden Pill, they are unable to start a sect, and they have to go to the big faction to serve as a guest secretary to earn cultivation resources.

And with the background of a famous family, it is much easier to find a job, and there will be many opportunities than many casual cultivators. For example, those disciples who left the Iron Sword Sect before, they can go to the government to serve, or to serve as worshippers for wealthy families, or they can go to the Chamber of Commerce to serve.

With a background comes a heel, and employers can use it with confidence, while casual training does not have such convenience at all.

Therefore, it is no exaggeration to say that even if Zhang Xu sold the identity of a disciple of the Iron Sword Sect at the price of a hundred lower-grade spirit stones, there would be many casual cultivators who were willing to spend money to buy it!

However, if you accept others as disciples, you also have to bear a certain amount of responsibility, if your disciples make a mistake, even the reputation of the sect will be damaged, and the ordinary sect naturally does not want to earn this kind of money, and they don't look down on this kind of small money! If it weren't for Zhang Xu being forced to run out of options, he wouldn't have done so!

Seal the level, build the foundation of the first level, practice the soil system exercises, and know the art of soil escape. Yesterday, he made a bet with Zhang Xu, although he began to regret it, but in the end he still ate the stone and did not walk away. From this point of view, this person's character is not very bad. So Zhang Xu accepted him with confidence.

In an instant, from only three people and all of them were in the Qi Refining Realm to now having two Foundation Building Stage cultivators, his strength has increased a lot, and even Zhang Xu also felt as if he was in a dream.

"Two seniors, now my Iron Sword Gate has suffered a catastrophe, and there are zero talents, fortunately, two of them are not willing to join, and the head of this sect is deeply moved!"

Zhang Xu solemnly clasped his fists and saluted to the two: "Senior Ma and Senior Feng are both foundation building monks, and they can serve as my Iron Sword Sect elders. ”

"Thank you, Master!" The two looked at each other and were overjoyed.

"What about me, what about me, little master?" Su Man hurriedly asked.

"Miss Su, can you write?"

"Of course, people's hairpins are well written!" Su Man patted his chest and said happily.

"Then Miss Su will be my secretary, no, squire, and help me with some paperwork. Recently, there will be a lot of casual cultivators who have signed up to join the sect, and the matter of registration will trouble you, girl. Zhang Xu said with a smile.

"Yes, yes. Su Man was overjoyed, as a close attendant of the little master, he could see the little master every day, and he felt beautiful when he thought about it.

Ma Chuang glanced at Su Man worriedly, sighed and didn't speak, as long as the junior sister was happy, it would be fine.

"Wei Suo, you are the general manager of the door, and you are responsible for managing the general affairs of the door. Zhang Xu said again, Wei Suo's guy is not cultivation material at all, instead of wasting time and resources on face cultivation, it is better to let him do some specific things.

"Thank you to the master!" Wei Suo is overjoyed, the general affairs manager, the head of the sect is powerful! Sure enough, it is right to follow the master, it has developed in such a short time!

"Two elders, once the news comes out, in recent days, there will be more and more casual cultivation requirements for entry, the two of them have been in the rivers and lakes for many years, and they should know more about the casual cultivators, so please take the responsibility of the assessment and assess the casual cultivation who want to get started.

The most important assessment is conduct, and anyone who is rumored to have a bad ** obscene conduct will not be allowed to enter the door.

Then there is the entrance fee, no matter what kind of cultivation, if you can't hand over a hundred spirit stones, you are not allowed to enter, and you can use the spirit stone magic weapon and other property to offset it. Zhang Xu instructed Ma Chuang and Feng Ping.

"Master, do you think about this matter of entry fees again, you also know that most of the casual cultivators are relatively poor, and I am afraid that there are not many who can take out so many spirit stones. Ma Chuang was a little embarrassed.

Feng Ping has a different opinion: "The entry fee should not only not be reduced, but should be strictly enforced." The head and Brother Ma, you all know that there are so many casual cultivators outside, if we relax the conditions, I'm afraid that countless casual cultivators will cry and shout that they want to join the Iron Sword Gate.

Let's know, this time the scattered cultivators gathered in Qiongshan because of the otherworldly hunt organized by the Wuzhou Chamber of Commerce, the treatment given by the Chamber of Commerce to the scattered cultivators is completely different from the initial sect, if we expand our strength here, it is equivalent to snatching food from the mouth of the Wuzhou Chamber of Commerce, the Chamber of Commerce may not care if the number is small, if there are more people, I am afraid that the Chamber of Commerce will be the first to disagree. “

Feng Ping's words made Zhang Xu impressed, he didn't expect this person to think so deeply and have such insight, it seems that he is not a simple character.

Hearing Feng Ping say this, Ma Chuang couldn't object. He was born in a casual cultivator, and he knew very well that it was not easy for the casual cultivators, so he just subconsciously wanted to speak for the casual cultivators. However, Feng Ping was right, although the scattered cultivators were pitiful, the Chamber of Commerce was even more of a behemoth that could not afford to offend.

"Okay, the matter is settled, the number of disciples to be recruited is tentatively set at two hundred, these two hundred people look at their reputation, the second is their strength, and the third is to pay the entrance spirit stones in full. After the two elders are screened, they report to the head of the sect, and the head of the sect decides who to accept!" Zhang Xu finally said.

With two hundred disciples, they can organize a relatively large team to enter the beast spirit realm to attack, or even take charge of it alone. And the two hundred disciples are only considered small sects, and the Chamber of Commerce may not care, if the number is large, it will inevitably cause the Chamber of Commerce to be jealous.

Outside the Chamber of Commerce, many casual cultivators were hesitating about whether to join the Iron Sword Sect, it was their dream to become a disciple of the famous sect, but the reality of the Iron Sword Sect also made them hesitate. At this moment, the news that Zhuji Sanxiu Ma Chuang and Feng Ping had entered the Iron Sword Gate came out, so many Sanxiu who knew the two found the two to inquire about the situation.

Ma Chuang and Feng Ping analyzed the prospects of the Iron Sword Gate and the benefits of joining the Iron Sword Gate one by one, which attracted the hearts of many scattered cultivators. Even foundation-building monks like Ma Chuang and Feng Ping were willing to join, and they naturally had no doubts.

However, the threshold of a hundred spirit stones stuck too many people, and it also made too many casual cultivators hesitate in their hearts.

A hundred lower-grade spirit stones didn't seem like much, but for many ordinary casual cultivators, it would take several years to accumulate. And most of the scattered cultivators don't have so many spirit stones on them at all, so they can't get them even if they want to join. Even if there are so many spirit stones, you have to consider whether it is worth it to join at such a high cost.

However, there are still some casual cultivators who took the initiative to find Ma Chuang and Feng Ping, expressing their willingness to join the Iron Sword Sect, and among them, there are many high-level monks who build a foundation and practice qi......

This world is like this, the higher the cultivation, the greater the chance of earning spirit stones, and the richer it becomes. However, although there are many spirit stones, they can't change their identity, and now that they have such an opportunity to join the initial sect, they are also excited by some scattered cultivators during the foundation building period.

Ma Chuang and Feng Ping are only in the early stage of foundation building, and they became elders after joining, why can't they?

Therefore, in just two or three days, several foundation building monks expressed their willingness to join the Iron Sword Gate, which surprised Zhang Xu.

I think that at the beginning, when the old master was still there, there were only three foundations in the entire Iron Sword Gate connected to the old master, and now although the Iron Sword Gate is in decline, there will soon be nearly ten foundation building monks, which makes Zhang Xu sigh with emotion.

"Yes, as long as you build a foundation, you have to become an elder after you get started. Zhang Xu said excitedly.

......

However, just when the Iron Sword Gate was in full swing to recruit disciples, the news had already reached the Chamber of Commerce, causing turmoil in the upper echelons of the Chamber of Commerce.

"Big shopkeeper, the Iron Sword Gate is too troublesome, it must be taken care of!" Deacon Feng Cun said worriedly.

"I don't think it's a big deal, it's not worth the fuss. Deacon Qian Ziwang said, "The Iron Sword Sect has not violated the laws of the Great Zhou, nor has it violated the rules of our Chamber of Commerce, what kind of reason should we use to stop it?

Although the Iron Sword Sect has declined, it has been in Wuzhou for many years, and there are many contacts with other sects, so let's take the liberty of suppressing the Iron Sword Gate, and what will other sects think of it after it spreads? Will it have a rebellious mentality? “

"However, those casual cultivators who participate in the hunt need to hand over half of the seizures to us, and afterwards we just took out some spirit stones as a reward, but the initial sect is different, they only need to pay one percent of the seizures, and afterwards we also need to pay the spiritual land that we have occupied with great difficulty. Big shopkeeper, what the Iron Sword Gate is doing now is equivalent to taking out the spirit stone from the hands of our Chamber of Commerce!" Feng Cunxin shouted.

The two argued, and at the top of the room, a chubby old man in a black monk's uniform just sat with his eyes closed, as if he was asleep. This person is none other than Li Pingbo, the big shopkeeper of the Wuzhou Chamber of Commerce, a great monk in the early stage of Jindan!

In the Flying Yellow Realm, the number of primordial infants is very small, and they rarely move around the world, and they are all busy cultivating and ascending in the temple, or busy exploring and discovering the otherworld, so as to obtain the otherworldly coordinates for their own sect. And Jin Dan cultivation is the top combat power of the Flying Yellow Realm. In the entire Wuzhou Chamber of Commerce, there is only one Jin Dan for Li Pingbo.

Feng Cunxin and Qian Ziwang argued for a long time, and when they saw that Li Pingbo just closed his eyes and didn't say a word, they closed their mouths in unison.

"Are you finished?" Li Pingbo's eyelids opened and his eyes flashed, "Ziwang, you went to the Iron Sword Gate some time ago, what kind of person is this little head of the Iron Sword Gate?"

Qian Ziwang recalled the only interaction he had with Zhang Xu in the Iron Sword Gate, and couldn't help but smile: "Back to the big shopkeeper, this Zhang Xu was originally just an ordinary disciple of the Iron Sword Gate, and his cultivation and cultivation potential were very ordinary, but he became the head of this sect because of a little blood relationship with the Lin family of the Iron Sword Gate."

The biggest characteristic of this person is that he looks good, and then he is a little greedy for money, the big shopkeeper you don't know, just two days ago, he actually set up a stall in the square to sell talismans, completely ignoring the identity of his original sect.

And this time, one of the conditions for him to accept the introduction of casual cultivation is that he must pay one hundred spirit stones, and his subordinates estimate that he is still trying to gather wealth. “

Li Pingbo said when he heard this: "This little boss is a little interesting. That's it, not long ago, Lin Shan of the Iron Sword Gate borrowed a large number of spirit stones from our Chamber of Commerce to buy the Barrier Breaking Pill and the Gathering Spirit Pill in order to use the Mountain Gate as collateral for the sake of the Tiejian Gate, so the Iron Sword Gate has fallen to the current situation, and our Chamber of Commerce has nothing to do with it.

The little master has the ambition to revitalize the Iron Sword Gate for the sake of the spirit stone. It's just some loose cultivation left and right, let him go. Don't let people say that our chamber of commerce has no elegance and must be investigated!"

"Yes, big shopkeeper!" Seeing that Li Pingbo had already made up his mind, Feng Cunxin could only give up.
