Chapter 159: Recruitment Conference
"Every time the Scattered Cultivation Alliance recruits new people, do so many people participate?" Seeing the number of people in the valley, He Zhi secretly asked Linchen Lao Dao.
The scene of three or five hundred people participating in a recruitment rally in front of him made He Zhi have a new estimate of the strength of the Scattered Cultivation Alliance. Originally, Lin Chen's old way asked Mu Yunhai for help, but it made He Zhi look down on the Scattered Cultivation Alliance a little.
After all, Mu Yunhai is also a pseudo-Taoist cultivator, and even such a person can occupy a place in the joining conference of the Scattered Cultivation Alliance, He Zhi naturally feels that this Scattered Cultivation Alliance is also a small organization.
However, after a sweep of his eyes, He Zhi found that he had obviously made a mistake.
"yes. Linchen Lao Dao looked at He Zhi with a smile, and nodded again and again with some pride and said, "Lord Hebao, you don't know, I have a lot of scattered cultivation in Dazhou. And the Scattered Cultivation Alliance can be called the holy place that the hearts of the people of the world want to cultivate, so every time the Scattered Cultivation Alliance recruits new blood, as long as there is a glimmer of opportunity, the Scattered Cultivation will almost always come. Today, these three or five hundred people are not many at all. The time that Lao Dao remembers the most was twelve years ago, when more than 1,000 scattered cultivators arrived. It's a big event. β
"So many people can join, so how many people can join in total?" He Zhi couldn't help but be speechless when he heard this, and his evaluation of the Scattered Cultivation Alliance increased even more.
"Well, not necessarily. In previous years, there were also forty or fifty people at a time. At the least, there are only seven or eight people. In short, it depends on the mind of the elder who presided over the council. Linchen Lao Dao touched his beard and said, "The person who presided over this alliance this year is the 'Dansheng' Wei Lao, who has always been known for his generosity. It is estimated that the number of people who will eventually join the EU will not be too small. That's why Lao Daocai said that this year's opportunity must not be missed. If it's the next time, I don't know who will come to preside. β
"Oh, I see. He Zhi nodded again.
Obviously, this recruitment of new students in the Loose Cultivation League is the same as the NBA elective, and it is also divided into big years and small years.
If the person in charge of recruiting new people in the Scattered Cultivation Alliance is a generous and benevolent person, then everyone will immediately flock to it, and it will be a new year. On the contrary, the number of people who came to participate in the recruitment of new recruits decreased, and it became a small year for recruitment.
And just as He Zhi and Linchen Lao Dao were talking, he saw that from the entrance of the valley, there were more people coming continuously. Obviously, there are quite a few monks who have the same idea as Linchen Lao Dao and want to take advantage of the opportunity of the "Dan Sheng" to preside over the alliance to join the Scattered Cultivation Alliance.
"Oh, by the way, I almost forgot to say this gossip patronizingly. Lord Ho Bao, the accession meeting of the Scattered Cultivation League was attended by groups of three. So in addition to Lord He Bao, Lao Dao also found another friend to help. Seeing that there were more and more monks in the valley, Linchen Lao Dao suddenly remembered that he patted his head and said to He Zhi.
"What? You also found another gunman?" He Zhi looked at Linchen Lao Dao with round eyes, not surprised that Linchen Lao Dao didn't tell him in advance that he had found someone else, but was deeply shocked by Linchen Lao Dao's shamelessness.
Okay! What kind of Arashiyama will this be, a total of a total of people will participate in the competition, and both of them are temporary gunners! Can this still be regarded as your Lanshan meeting to participate in recruiting new recruits?
I've never seen such a brazen person!
However, at this time, He Zhi didn't know that in fact, what shocked him was still to come.
After waiting for a few more minutes, the number of people in the valley had quickly approached a thousand, and they were all about to reach the most spectacular scene at the Linchen Old Road Pass.
At this time, the third person mentioned in the old road of Linchen finally arrived.
It was a young man who looked to be only about fifteen or sixteen years old, and looked extremely handsomeβwell, that's what He Zhi judged at first.
Because the other party tied his hair back in his head, he looked a bit like that kind of ancient swordsman. And the figure is mediocre.,There's no look at all for a girl of the same age.γ
Moreover, the "boy's" voice is also rough, and his demeanor is even more like a very middle two.
"Old thief, didn't you tell me beforehand, this year is a big year!" As soon as he saw Linchen Lao Dao, the "young man" shouted at him unceremoniously, and as for He Zhi next to him, he simply swept it with the corner of his eye and completely ignored it.
"Uh......" Lin Chen's old road was screamed by this young man, and he almost wrote the word "embarrassing" on his face. He hurriedly looked back at He Zhi with a sad face.
"Hey, forget it! Anyway, for the master, it is a matter of moving more muscles and bones. The young man pouted and said to the old man in the dust, "However, we have to talk about this reward." β
"Hey, yes, this reward, let's talk in private after we're done, can we talk in private?" Linchen Lao Dao glanced at He Zhi secretly, and begged for mercy from the "young man" with a bitter face.
"Hmph!" The young man also followed Linchen's old gaze, glanced at He Zhi again, and smiled disdainfully at Linchen Laodao, "Who is he? Which corner did you dig out of the newcomer? Hey! How can you start a loss-making business in Linchen Thief Dao? Even if this year is a big year for the Scattered Cultivation Alliance to recruit new people, you still can't believe in my ability? There are two of us, I dare not say that there are too many to say, and it is not easy to kill the top twenty at the recruitment meeting? What are you doing with this extra money and finding someone more? It seems that Lanshan will give a lot of money for this business!"
Speaking of this, the young man didn't care about the old way, and directly raised his head to He Zhi: "Hey, newcomer, what is your name? Where did you come from? Which master did you follow? What exercises did you learn? How many skills do you have?"
Hey, what are you checking my account? He Zhi looked at the young man's grinning appearance, and he was almost amused by him.
However, what makes He Zhi even more amusing is another thing.
After stopping what he said just now, He Zhi understood it! This old way of Linchen was not a member of the Lanshan Society at all! Now He Zhi is nine out of ten sure that this old way of Linchen is a broker! Moreover, maybe he is still a professional broker!
Just like what Linchen Lao Dao said before, there are a lot of scattered cultivation in this Great Zhou. However, among the casual cultivators, there are not many who specialize in combat - after all, it is easier to earn money by cultivating casual cultivators such as alchemy, refining weapons, and formations, and it is relatively easy to survive.
However, when participating in the assessment of the Scattered Cultivation Alliance, these Scattered Cultivators seemed to be a little lacking in combat power. As a result, people like Linchen Lao Dao came into being. They specially took the list of those small casual cultivation associations and helped them pass the assessment of the scattered cultivation alliance.
Okay! The three people who will come to participate in the recruitment meeting in Lanshan are not the main ones, and they are all gunmen!
Thinking of this, He Zhi was also speechless. Originally, when he was in the Iron Furnace Castle, when he heard that the old Taoist of Linchen said that it was not easy to cultivate and how important it was to him to join the Scattered Cultivation Alliance, He Zhi was quite sympathetic to this old Taoist.
As a result, all this sympathy was thrown into the water! Where is this old Taoist priest worthy of sympathy? It is clearly a cunning old fox!
"Hey, hey, why don't you speak? Could it be that you're a dumb person? Old thief, why did you find a dumb person? Is it cheaper to be dumb?" He Zhi didn't say anything for a while, but the young man was still babbling and talking, and the conversation was a mess.
"Okay, okay! Xiao Su, don't talk about it! The conference will start in a while. Let's take a good look at the total. β
"What's there to total?" Xiao Su didn't wait for Linchen Lao Dao to finish, then pouted and said, "I'll be the first to go." The thief said that you are the second. This newcomer brother will be put at the end, and it will be over for us to press the array. How's that? No comment, right?"
"Okay, I'm fine. He Zhi thought about it, and finally nodded and agreed.
In fact, He Zhi originally intended to be the first to appear. After all, he came to participate in this recruitment conference mainly to sharpen himself and find an opponent. If you can't get the opportunity to fight from the beginning to the end, isn't it in vain?
However, after thinking about it, He Zhi felt that there was nothing wrong with his last appearance. After all, listening to what Xiao Su meant, there are still more miscellaneous fish who are not strong in this conference of the Scattered Cultivation Alliance. If it's against miscellaneous fish, He Zhi won't be interested. Because it doesn't work at all.
Therefore, He Zhi also accepted the position of the final formation with peace of mind.
The old man on the side also agreed to Xiao Su's arrangement. However, he reminded him with extra caution: "Xiao Su, don't be careless! There are a lot of good players coming to this year's recruitment conference! I swept it just now, and there are a lot of old friends, but all of them are here! Moreover, there are many noodle masters who look good. So let's be careful. If one doesn't pay attention and capsizes in the gutter, I can't explain it to the Lanshan Society. β
"Hmph, you know, you just don't worry, you can't capsize your boat!" Xiao Su waved his hand, looking full of confidence.
As a few people spoke, the number of people in the valley had increased again, breaking through 1,200. This number is definitely bigger than the scene that Linchen Lao Dao saw twelve years ago.
And at this time, the start time of the recruitment conference of the Scattered Cultivation Alliance is also approaching.
In the pavilion in the middle of the valley, it was the Dan Sheng Wei Lao who was in charge of presiding over this recruitment conference, as well as some other scattered cultivators who came to watch the ceremony, and so on.
Of course, what everyone doesn't know is that among these people, there is also a rather special person.
It was a very pretty girl, who looked like she was fifteen or sixteen years old.
However, compared with the "young man" of the same age next to He Zhi, this girl is much quieter. In a group of casual cultivators, she always sat quietly next to Dan Sheng, and rarely spoke.
However, there were a few scattered cultivators who were quite concerned about the girl, and after looking at her a few times, they smiled and asked Dan Sheng: "Old Wei, I heard that your granddaughter has been favored by the Ten Thousand Swords Sect, and she is going to worship the Ten Thousand Swords Sect in the next year? The rules of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect are not small. Seeing that the day of initiation is coming, if you don't leave her at home to cultivate, how can you still have time to come to our new recruitment conference?"
"Hehe, you don't know. This time, I asked Yue'er to come over just to get started with the Ten Thousand Swords Sect. Dan Sheng shook his head with a smile and said to those people, "A few days ago, someone from the Ten Thousand Swords Sect sent a message that the inner disciples who entered this year should have a big competition when they enter the school, and they will be divided into seats. My granddaughter has always been cultivating at home, and if you want to say that cultivation is talented, it is not true. But if you want to talk about the enemy, it is far from it. Therefore, I brought her here this time, on the one hand, to show her the means of the monks' fighting. On the other hand, I also want to find a few suitable Taoist friends for her, please go back and learn for a while, so as to sharpen the effect. β
"Oh, I see. Hehe, Wei Lao has taken great pains to make his granddaughter also!hahaha!" Several casual cultivators had already understood when they heard this, and they nodded with a smile.
"The hour has come. This conference can begin. Wei Lao looked up at the hour, then stood up, took out a small bronze bell from his body, and lightly touched his fingers on it.
When~~When~~When~~!
The melodious bell rang, and in a short time it spread throughout the valley.
The casual cultivators who came to participate in the recruitment conference of the Scattered Cultivation Alliance had already been informed of the rules when they got the Yudie of the Entering Valley. At this time, the scattered cultivators who got the jade butterfly took out the jade butterfly again.
"C forty-seven. Linchen Lao Dao read out a row of small characters that appeared on the jade butterfly.
"Huh! C47? I have to wait!" Xiao Su, who heard the words of Linchen Laodao, immediately pursed his lips, found a tree casually, lay down under the tree, and closed his eyes to recuperate.
Linchen Lao Dao glanced at Xiao Su with a bitter face, but he didn't say anything.
And by this time, there was already a sound in the valley. Many of the loose cultivators on the jade butterfly that start with the word "A" have already begun to fight.
The valley is empty, and if you look closely, you will see that the naturally occurring trees and mountains in the valley itself divide the valley into patches.
Therefore, the thirty or forty groups of loose cultivators fought each other, and they could easily swing away in the valley without interfering with each other.
After a while, Xiao Su, who was lying under the tree, seemed to have fallen asleep. And the old road of Linchen is worthy of the old rivers and lakes, and he is much more cautious than Xiao Su. He quickly gathered next to a few cultivators who he had seen in advance and felt more powerful, and mixed in the crowd to watch the fight between those people.
He Zhi was also quite curious about the strength of these casual cultivators who participated in the recruitment conference of the Scattered Cultivation Alliance, so he naturally followed behind the old road of Linchen and also looked at it.
To be honest, as He Zhi had predicted in advance, most of the casual cultivators who participated in the conference were not too high. Among the several battles He Zhi watched, the most powerful one was about the same level as Mu Yunhai.
However, there is an extremely obvious difference between these scattered cultivators and martial artists of the same realm in the Martial Saint Realm in the battle, that is, their methods are really too much richer.
What strange and mysterious formations, talisman seals that can call the wind and rain, all kinds of dazzling spiritual treasure magic weapons, are all emerging in the hands of these scattered cultivators, and He Zhi is dizzying.
Moreover, these methods of casual cultivation are not just simply beautiful or gorgeous, many of them are really powerful.
For example, in the competition between Jia 23 and Jia 45, He Zhi saw one of them take out a magic weapon like a mourning stick and shake it twice at his opponent, and his opponent couldn't even stand on his feet as if he was drunk. In the end, the monk with the mourning stick in his hand easily defeated an opponent who was much taller than him.
Of course, among these casual cultivators who came to participate in the conference, it was by no means that there were no real strong people.
When He Zhizheng was watching the battle between Jia Twenty-three and Jia Forty-five, there was an exclamation not far from the side.
He Zhi took a look, and found that Linchen Lao Dao, who was still standing with him just now, didn't know when he had run to the sidelines of that competition, and was staring at a monk standing in the middle of the crowd with a solemn face.
The monk looked to be in his thirties, with a very ordinary Chinese face, and he looked like an ordinary person who would be difficult to find if he was thrown into the crowd.
However, on the ground opposite the monk, another monk had fallen unconscious.
"What's the matter? Dao Chief, your face is not very good-looking. He Zhi saw that Linchen Lao Dao's face was wrong, and couldn't help but ask him curiously.
"Oh, nothing. It's this group of No. 18, which really has some ability. β
"Oh, how can you see it?" asked He Zhi curiously.
"The loose cultivator on the ground, nicknamed 'Guojiang Long', can be regarded as an old friend of the old Tao. Speaking of the three words 'old friend', Linchen Lao Dao still looked a little embarrassed, "I'm afraid that this 'crossing the river dragon' ability is a little stronger than Mu Yunhai's, and he really has the ability to compete with the monks who have entered the Dao." But in front of that fellow Daoist, he didn't even have the strength to fight back. Moreover, I see that fellow Daoist still only uses the Dao method, and the spirit treasures and talismans he carries with him are not used, and his strength is really unfathomable. β
"Oh oh oh! I see, no wonder Dao Leader you are worried. He Zhi said in his mouth, interested in the loose cultivator in the middle of the crowd, looked at it carefully, and firmly remembered the appearance of the other party.
Lao Dao was thinking about what to do if he ran into him later. Linchen Lao Dao pinched his beard and said to He Zhi, "However, this is nothing. Although most of the scattered cultivators are not strong, there are always some talented ones. Every time the Scattered Cultivation Alliance recruits a new recruit, there will be this kind of strong player with outstanding strength coming out. Anyway, all we want is to join the Scattered Cultivation Alliance, not to win the first place for newcomers. It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. β
In the end, Linchen Lao Dao was free and easy, smiled and waved his hand at He Zhi, and then slipped away to other venues to watch other people's competitions.
He Zhi also followed the old road of Linchen and continued to wander around, but he watched a few good competitions, and also noted the appearance of several outstanding casual cultivators.
After about two hours, the first round of competition between Group A and Group B was over. The jade butterfly in Linchen Lao Dao's hand lit up suddenly, and at the same time, a hazy beam of light shot out, pointing at an open field in the valley.
