Chapter 14: CH.14 | Negotiate With Their Parents

Seeing all of them agree to join made Lin Tian happy. However, he could not accept all of them.

Just like the two cultivators from the Nanduo Sect, Lin Tian needed to examine their talents and qualifications.

If they met his standards, they would be brought to the Lingxian Sect.

If not, perhaps their parents would need to negotiate with Lin Tian.

Lin Tian raised his hand, his eyes staring forward as he examined their talents through his qi aura vision.

Those with the best qualifications would release qi light from their bodies.

If not, there would be no light at all.

"You. You. You. And you!"

Lin Tian immediately pointed at four out of the twenty children there.

Their qualifications were not bad, but not especially good either.

Lin Tian’s attention shifted toward the five children recruited by the Nanduo Sect.

Their qualifications were far better than the four children earlier.

"You five... do you want to join them or join me?" Lin Tian asked.

The five children fell silent for a moment, looking at the faces of the Nanduo Sect cultivators before turning to look at Lin Tian.

They clearly chose Lin Tian. Aside from his handsome appearance, Lin Tian’s strength was also impressive.

The white dragon Lin Tian sat upon had completely captured their attention.

They also wanted to summon white dragons like Lin Tian.

"Can I summon a white dragon like yours if I join?" one of the children asked.

"Of course. The White Dragons will become your companions someday," Lin Tian replied.

Wide smiles spread across their faces.

They decided to follow Lin Tian rather than leave with the two cultivators from the Nanduo Sect.

Watching their potential disciples get stolen away made the two cultivators furious.

The middle-aged man pointed rudely at Lin Tian.

"You... you won’t escape our revenge, Lin Tian!" he shouted.

The two cultivators flew away from the village. A faint grin appeared on Lin Tian’s face.

"Everyone! Please look over there," Lin Tian said.

All of them looked toward the sky in the direction Lin Tian pointed.

He flew into the air, no longer sitting on the white dragon.

"I’ll show you how powerful my white dragon really is," Lin Tian added.

He gathered white qi light at the tip of his finger before casually pointing it toward the sky.

The white dragon twisted freely through the air, roaring loudly and amazing the children.

The dragon sped through the sky and chased after the two Nanduo Sect cultivators.

The middle-aged man turned around in shock.

"You’re showing a deadly attack in front of children?" the man shouted in disbelief.

"This isn’t an attack... it’s fireworks!"

BLAST!

"AAAGGHHH!"

A massive explosion erupted in the sky, accompanied by fierce winds.

Lin Tian smiled and snapped his fingers, turning the black-and-white smoke in the sky into blazing fireworks.

"WOAAHH!"

"That’s awesome!"

"I want to become like him!"

The explosion transformed into a grand fireworks display. Lin Tian glanced downward.

The innocence of mortals made them easy to fool.

They clapped and cheered excitedly, thrilled by the unusual performance Lin Tian had shown them.

"How is it? Pretty cool, right?" Lin Tian asked as he landed gently.

"Cool! Let’s learn cultivation!"

"I want to become a cultivator too!"

Meanwhile, the parents of the children shouted toward Lin Tian.

They were not cursing him for killing the two cultivators. Instead, they were trying to convince him.

"Please take my child into your sect," they pleaded.

"I’ll give up anything I own if my child can join."

"We have plenty of money. Please allow my child to cultivate with you."

The parents, most of them women, continued shouting offers in an attempt to negotiate with Lin Tian.

Lin Tian’s attention shifted toward their faces.

Though they were not especially beautiful, their skin looked clean and smooth, and their figures were slim and attractive.

Milf? I have an idea.

"How about this," Lin Tian said, silencing the crowd, "I’ll listen to your offers tomorrow."

"I’ll build my house in this village. Parents whose children were not selected may come and negotiate with me there," Lin Tian explained.

"As for the children who were accepted, gather here again in five days. We’ll depart together for the Lingxian Sect," Lin Tian continued.

"Yes, Master Cultivator."

One by one, they left the village square. Lin Tian was different.

He flew into the sky and drifted toward a distant corner of the village.

After finding a suitable spot, he swept his sleeve and built a simple wooden house.

That place would become the negotiation site between Lin Tian and the parents of the rejected children.

If their offers interested Lin Tian enough, he would allow their children to join.

It did not matter whether their qualifications were good or bad.

Ability could be trained. Determination could surpass talent.

Guiding them would be easy for Lin Tian.

The man landed softly in front of the house, stepped inside, and observed the condition of the interior.

Alright. Let’s see what they’ll offer tomorrow.

***

The next day.

The wooden house door opened as Lin Tian stepped out confidently and greeted them.

His handsome face glowed beneath the dazzling morning sunlight.

However, Lin Tian’s expression froze in shock.

Why... are there so many fathers here? Where are the milfs?

Lin Tian felt disappointed. Eleven children had arrived with their guardians, yet only four of them came with their mothers.

The rest were accompanied by fathers, and even grandparents. 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

Even so, Lin Tian needed to remain professional.

After all, he was the one who had offered negotiations. He needed to display the dignity of a Sect Master.

He waved his hand and summoned numbered tokens.

"The children will wait outside. Only parents or guardians may enter."

"Yes, Master Cultivator."

The first participant entered. Lin Tian sat on a long wooden chair while sipping warm tea from his wooden cup.

A hunched old man walked inside.

Lin Tian sighed softly, assuming the old man would probably offer crops, pottery, or crafts.

"What is your grandson’s name, Old Grandpa?" Lin Tian asked flatly.

"His name is Yun Wei."

"Very well. What are you offering to make me agree to accept Yun Wei as my disciple?" Lin Tian asked.

"Well, our situation is very difficult right now. Pottery sales are poor, my body is sickly, Yun Wei’s father disappeared without a trace, and our lives feel crushed beneath the heavens," the old man complained.

Oh no...

He’s definitely going to kneel and beg me to accept Yun Wei.

That won’t work, Old Grandpa.

"We... don’t have anything valuable to give," the old man replied softly.

I already expected that.

Lin Tian placed down his cup after taking another sip of tea, "Sigh... it seems I can’t possibly..."

"What if my daughter-in-law spends the night with you? That is my offer!"

A bright smile immediately appeared on Lin Tian’s face as he turned and hurriedly shook the old man’s hand.

"DEAL!"
