Chapter 1070: Chapter 316: This Is a Tough Commission! Farewell to the Ninth-Rank Disciple!

Yin Shuang, honestly, what’s going on in that little head of yours? Why do you always want to chop people...? Yuchi explained with a smile, "It’s unlikely that there would be such tasks. Just think, if assassination tasks could be publicly displayed, the law and order in the state capital must be horrible. So even if such assassinations occur, they wouldn’t be openly disclosed like that."

"I understand!" Yin Shuang replied, "Then what about stealing?! We could steal, couldn’t we?"

Yuchi was nearly in tears:

"You understand nothing! Stealing? Steal what? The state capital is full of hidden experts; our cultivation level might be fine in a small town, but here in the state capital, it’s rather average, and the ability to preserve ourselves might even be a bit strained. You want me to steal, it’s like you’re wishing for my death."

He then muttered to himself, "There are only forty days until the New Year, and coming up with over two million over these forty days is tough. Looks like it’s not feasible this year. Well, if the Ascension Gate were able to directly advance to the fourth stage, the disciples would surely be thrilled."

Making the worst plan before doing something, at worst just roaming around the state capital... if things turn out like this, there won’t be any hard feelings since it was anticipated.

Yin Shuang: "Brother Chi!"

Yuchi: "What’s up now?"

Yin Shuang: "Look, look, not far away there’s a bunch of cultivators gathered together."

Yuchi: "What?"

Yin Shuang: "Over here!"

Grabbing Yuchi’s chin, directing it towards the right, Yuchi finally saw what was happening on this street.

Thirty or so yards away, stood many cultivators dressed in very nice-looking Immortal Robes, the exact material unknown, but in front of them were many commoners, numbering in the hundreds.

The key point was the children among the commoners.

Yin Shuang said childishly:

"I’ve read about this in books, saying that major sects come to big cities to recruit disciples."

"Then the disciples only need to pay a measly amount of silver, and the major sects will take them in for a Spirit Root assessment. If the Spirit Root is good and their character is good, the children can stay and cultivate in the sect."

"If they fail the sect’s assessment, there’s no need to worry as the cultivators will send the children back. It’s just spending a bit of silver to assess the Spirit Root Talent of your child, to see how well they might perform on the path of a cultivator."

Yin Shuang spoke while Yuchi couldn’t help but walk towards the crowd, his eyes filled with immense delight, even his dull fish-like eyes lit up, fixated on a timid girl standing amongst the crowd.

"Dear villagers, rest assured, our sect is a legitimate one, named Sea Heaven Sect. We are here on this street to recruit disciples. You can rest assured, just pay a small fee of silver, and we will take your children to our sect."

"Once at the sect, we will assess their talents. If your children can remain in our sect, then you’ll have the right to have them cultivate at our sect in the Mortal Realm, where a year’s fee is only a hundred silver, if in the Qi Cultivation Realm, a year’s fee is only a thousand silver."

"Give your children a chance to choose a future path. If they can go far in cultivation, it’s a way to bring glory to the family. You can proudly say to others that your child is a cultivator!"

"So why hesitate? Come on, start the registration now. The registration fee is just a meager amount of silver, it’s a chance for a new life for your children, you definitely don’t want your children to lose at the starting line."

"Look, other children are getting their Spirit Root Talent assessed. If you’re unwilling to part with a small amount of silver, and in the future, if your child truly has this cultivator talent, aren’t you just wasting your child’s future? So don’t let your child lose at the starting line, choose our Sea Heaven Sect, choosing a bright future."

"Come on, dear villagers."

"Already thirty-two people have registered. Once we reach a hundred, we’ll leave, and if waiting for Sea Heaven Sect again, it will only be next year."

"The starting line."

"A wild chicken turning into a phoenix."

"A bicycle turning into a motorcycle."

"Come on."

Yuchi completely ignored the disciple recruitment spiel, already too lazy to make any comments.

His gaze was solely on a girl; she seemed somewhat timid, her eyes lacking much light, with a touch of worry.

Next to her stood an older lady with a vegetable basket, no flesh on her face and lacking teeth. She should be of a very kind age, having seen many things, gradually becoming open-minded, but this old woman’s demeanor was fierce.
