Chapter 501 What a Poor Sect
"They hired you to guard the gate, don't do this." The headless ghost placed his hands on the shoulders of the half-dead ghost, then turned the person around:
“Fellow Daoist, you will find it if you keep walking forward.”
"Okay, thank you."
Zhong Liyu flew away on his sword, leaving behind two ghost cultivators, a headless ghost and a half-body ghost.
The half-demon looked resentful: "If we say we'll stay in Yangzhou, does that mean we'll have to clear land on this mountain from now on?"
"That person paid a lot, hiring the two of us to be gatekeepers, which is great."
Oh, right, but you said you'd plant sunflowers for me.
As the headless ghost spoke, the head of the half-dead ghost gradually drooped down:
"Alright, alright, there's no spiritual soil here anyway. I'll clear away the weeds, you can plant them yourself."
"Okay."
……
There weren't many, but there were also quite a few, of cultivators who went to the Xiaoyao Sect to participate in the recruitment.
Thanks to Long Aotian's promotion, many cultivators who had already graduated from Wanjue Academy became interested in the Xiaoyao Sect.
After filling out the registration form, Jiang He called everyone over.
Jiang He did not include Lingcao Valley within the territory of the Xiaoyao Sect.
Instead, the land on the land deeds was utilized.
Although the Xiaoyao Sect is called a sect, it doesn't actually have a gate. Jiang He temporarily bought a gate from the second-hand market and placed it at the foot of Xiaoyao Mountain. As for the mountain itself, it's even simpler; the crooked tree is Jiang He's office area.
After the Xiaoyao Sect established Xiaoyao Mountain as its location, Jiang He visited the area several times to scout out the site before finally deciding on it as the sect's headquarters.
As for the headless ghost and the half-body ghost, Jiang He brought them back from the black market's human trafficking area. For some reason, these two ghosts had been wandering around the human trafficking area, saying they were looking for work.
The Free and Unfettered Sect was short of a gatekeeper, so Jiang He sent him over.
However, on the other hand, it seems that their Xiaoyao Sect doesn't have much to offer that could be stolen.
Cultivators on their way to the recruitment fair passed by the gates of the Free and Unfettered Sect. Those with better manners might assume that going up the mountain was a test from the sect, while those without manners, like Zhang Wan, would immediately start complaining on the spot:
"Is this mountain definitely the Xiaoyao Sect?"
"Yes, I see that the Xiaoyao Sect is located in this area on the StarNet map."
Zhang Wan stared at the dilapidated and decaying door, speechless with emotion.
"This is a sect? It's so dilapidated? I've never seen such a rotten gate before. Even the gate of a second-rate sect is better than this Xiaoyao Sect's gate."
The cultivators accompanying Zhang Wan, whose attention hadn't been on the door initially, also noticed it after hearing Zhang Wan's words:
"Hmm, it seems so. Is the Free and Unfettered Sect really that poor?"
"It's very poor, isn't it? The sect is located on a mountain, with only one gate, and they recruit new members by posting on a confession wall. Compared to other sects, it's really as poor as it gets."
"Ah, this is a symbol of poverty. I thought it was a test for us. I searched for ages but couldn't find the interview location. I feel like I'm about to run out of spiritual energy for sword control."
Zhang Wan rolled his eyes. It was obvious he was poor; even the door to any random spot in his house was better than the door to the Xiaoyao Sect.
"Heh, 'training'? They're clearly just trying to make things difficult for us."
After Zhang Wan finished speaking, he wanted to continue complaining, but then he remembered what he had just said.
"It feels a bit familiar," Zhang Wan frowned, as if he had said something similar five years ago.
Zhang Wan shut up and continued searching for a suitable location for sect recruitment.
They said it was at the crooked-necked tree, but after searching around, Zhang Wan couldn't find the tree.
He shouldn't have acted on a whim.
Zhang Wan was quite annoyed.
When Zhang Wan saw the recruitment advertisement for the Xiaoyao Sect that day, he knew it was a scam and originally wanted to quit immediately, but somehow, in a flash, he even filled out the application form.
Zhang Wan didn't think the Free and Unfettered Sect was a proper sect.
Later, recalling his elders' advice, he thought long and hard but ultimately decided not to cancel the registration form.
If I absolutely had to choose a sect...
If they don't want to go to Lingyun Sect, they can just find some small sect to fob them off with.
It's just...
Zhang Wan looked at the door, which was creaking in the wind, as if it might split in two at any moment.
Since the door was completely open to the elements, he began to wonder if it was a door or something else entirely.
Zhang Wan glanced around a few times. Xiaoyao Mountain was indeed all mountains, one after another, winding and stretching endlessly.
They had crossed from another mountain to this one. The original navigation wasn't accurate, and it took Zhang Wan a long time to find the gate.
Seeing the door, though it was dilapidated, made me feel a little more at ease.
After walking for a while, Zhang Wan soon encountered a cultivator with his back to them, and he quickly went up to him:
"Excuse me, sir, where is the crooked tree?"
"I've already said, I'm not some big shot, I'm really getting angry!"
The half-demon turned to look at Zhang Wan, flames blazing in his eyes.
His angry eyes were like swords, ready to kill.
"Just keep going forward." The headless ghost quickly stepped in to smooth things over, hurriedly covering the half-dead ghost's mouth and dragging him backward.
"What strange people. Zhang Wan, you said they are from the Free and Unfettered Sect? How come I can't see through their cultivation levels?"
"It must be from the Free and Unfettered Sect, but isn't the Free and Unfettered Sect supposed to be a small sect? The cultivators here seem to have unfathomable cultivation levels, it doesn't seem like a newly established sect."
"do not know."
After Zhang Wan finished complaining about the Free and Unfettered Sect, he had exhausted most of his energy. He had been wandering around like a headless fly for so long that he was no longer willing to talk.
People began to follow the path pointed out by the headless ghost.
Jiang He tidied up the hilltop, set up four stools, and then ate rice puffs while waiting for the cultivators to come for the interview.
As of today, recruitment forms have been received one after another. Jiang He picked out the cultivators she knew well, and then handed over all the remaining application forms to the quantum computer for random selection.
Jiang He knew that she was unlucky, so when it came to choosing people, if the cultivator who filled out the application form was lucky, he would naturally be selected by the quantum computer.
It's much more reliable to entrust it to a quantum computer than to entrust it to yourself.
Thinking this, Jiang He would occasionally glance down at the time on her personal terminal:
"It's been so long, and they still haven't arrived? Did they get lost?"
Jiang He was puzzled.
System 006 participated in the entire process of Jiang He's selection of cultivators; even the application forms were selected using its program.
006 couldn't help but mutter to himself:
"In reality, the destination is too far from the starting point of the Xiaoyao Sect on the map navigation. At the speed of a Nascent Soul cultivator, this section will take at least 5 hours to walk."
So if you wait here, you won't see anyone in less than five hours.
Jiang He only realized what 006 meant after he finished speaking.
StarNet's navigation has always been unreliable...
