"Oh my god, I’ve become an outer disciple, ancestral spirits, ancestral spirits!"

At this moment, suddenly a voice, raving-like, rang out.

Ye Guichen looked toward the sound and saw a man with a scar on his face, who seemed to have a slight limp, jumping around, unbelievably excited.

Shouting continuously, he grabbed the person next to him and exclaimed, "Before coming here, I specially paid homage to my ancestors’ graves, and I can’t believe it really worked. This is great, a piece of spirit stone, I can get married now."

The person he grabbed was full of embarrassment, pushed his hand away, and dryly said, "Congratulations, congratulations."

"Haha, thank you, thank you!" The man nodded vigorously, continuing to chant, "I really didn’t expect that I would have cultivation talent. If it weren’t for the Xuanyin Sect discovering this genius, I would likely have spent my life in a small mountain village, completely overlooked."

"From today onward, I live for Xuanyin Sect; in death, I will be a ghost of Xuanyin Sect. Even if one day I achieve great success and become an immortal, I will never forget my roots."

As he spoke, the man raised his hand to swear.

The other interviewees, seeing this, all shook their heads, feeling amused while also envious.

This was just like the college entrance exams Ye Guichen had seen.

Once you leap through the dragon gate, for many, it’s the key to getting out of the countryside.

Even if they don’t know how their future will turn out, just getting into college drastically reduces the chances of returning to farm in the countryside. 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

And being selected by Xuanyin Sect, this is an immense honor, not only can you receive a low-grade spirit stone but you are also destined to leap through the dragon gate for life, becoming someone of significance.

"Haha, I asked our neighbor Erniu to come too, but he just wouldn’t come. If he could see that I was selected, he’d surely be furious."

The man with the slight limp was incomparably excited.

It seemed he remembered being constantly overshadowed by his neighbor Erniu and getting beaten up at times, feeling immensely satisfied at the thought.

He even imagined himself going back home with the Xuanyin Sect’s admission notice and throwing it in Erniu’s face, feeling a sense of vindication in his heart.

This typical mentality of revenge, many people experience it.

Especially as most people on the scene had little hope of entering Xuanyin Sect, yet in the end, they still did.

Moreover, they received high affirmation from Xuanyin Sect.

As time went on, more and more laughter sounded from various places.

And more and more people were selected to join Xuanyin Sect.

Ye Guichen watched as many around him were deliriously happy, secretly observing them, only to find that most of them had no cultivation talent at all.

That kind of feeling, as if even if they soaked in a spiritual spring every day, they wouldn’t be able to cultivate anything significant.

Yet, these people were selected into Xuanyin Sect.

To say there was no hidden agenda at play, nobody would believe it.

"Brother Ye, let’s go, why are you standing here daydreaming?" Just as Ye Guichen was pondering what exactly was going on, a voice sounded.

Qin Muge pulled Ye Guichen over to one of the recruitment tables: "It seems like Xuanyin Sect is expanding its recruitment significantly today. Let’s go join in on the excitement, hehe, with our qualifications, we might become inner sect disciples."

Qin Muge, having also seen some people with ordinary qualifications being selected, was filled with confidence.

Ye Guichen hadn’t intended to get involved in these things, but now felt incredibly curious and, half impatient, followed to the interview table.

"Name, age, family address."

The interviewer was a young man about thirty years old.

The young man was wearing a blue robe and looked like he belonged to the disciple generation of Xuanyin Sect.

However, even as a disciple, he was one with relatively senior qualifications.

For these new disciples, he should have the proper attitude.

"Hehe, my name is Qin Muge, and this is my friend, Ye Guichen. Oh, and him, Hua Nu."

Qin Muge quickly introduced them.

"What’s the rush, one at a time." The disciple glanced at Qin Muge, seeing him dressed in fine clothes, his eyes narrowed slightly: "Where are you from?"

"Where? Oh, just ordinary people from Zhenyun City, we also studied cultivation with others for some time before. What do you think?" Qin Muge was extremely attentive.

The disciple oh-ed and nodded as he saw that Qin Muge and the other two seemed to have no notable background: "Alright, since you have experience in cultivation, there is a great possibility of becoming inner sect disciples. But inner sect disciples must undergo tests, so for now, I’ll temporarily record you as outer disciples. Once we get back to the mountain, the masters will pick you out."

"Huh? We’ve already become outer disciples?" Qin Muge was evidently surprised by how easy it was, and asked with uncertainty, "Don’t we need a talent test?"

"Test?" The Xuanyin Sect disciple raised an eyebrow, then oh-ed: "I’ve already conducted the test!"

"You’ve already tested us?"

"Of course, I could tell whether you have talent just by looking. Alright, go collect your identity plaques, in three days, we will head to Xuanyin Sect together." The disciple impatiently waved his hand, indicating Qin Muge and his friends could leave.

Ye Guichen stepped forward: "Doesn’t becoming an outer disciple come with a reward of a low-grade spirit stone? When do we get our spirit stones?"

The disciple finally gave Ye Guichen a look and said with a dry laugh: "Disciple, Xuanyin Sect is so large, how could we owe you a spirit stone? Haha, don’t worry, before we head up the mountain, we’ll distribute spirit stones as agreed at the time."
