Chapter 598: Joining the Sect (Part 3)

Han Li and the others naturally had no objections, and the young man surnamed Yu drove the giant bowl and flew straight toward the so-called "Tianquan Peak" in the distance. (Net)

On the way, their group met several passing cultivators, mostly low-level cultivators in the Qi Refining stage. Upon seeing the young man, they all bowed respectfully and greeted him, seeming to show that the young man had quite a reputation in this Luoyun Sect.

The only Foundation Establishment stage cultivator they met was a yellow-robed cultivator with sharp ears and monkey cheeks.

This person happened to be flying down from that Tianquan Peak on a flying fork. Upon seeing the young man surnamed Yu, he was startled for a moment, but then greeted him with a full face of smiles:

"Junior Brother Yu, are these new disciples joining the sect? It looks like there aren't many people this time!"

This person was very enthusiastic toward the young man, but didn't even look at the few loose cultivators behind Han Li, looking extremely snobbish.

"So it's Senior Brother Yan! Are these people new disciples? Junior Brother, I have important matters to attend to. Senior Brother Miao is still waiting for us at the Welcome Pine Residence, so I won't accompany you much longer." This heroic-looking young man surnamed Yu frowned inadvertently when he saw this yellow-robed cultivator, but still answered indifferently.

"Junior Brother Yu. Since Senior Brother already knows, why ask about this matter? Is that person here to pester Senior Sister Pei Ling again?" The heroic-looking young man asked with a look of disgust when he saw this yellow-robed cultivator.

"What do you mean by 'that person'? Even if Senior Brother Yan is a bit excessive, he is still our fellow sect brother of the Luoyun Sect. Junior Brother Yu's words are somewhat inappropriate, and you should pay more attention in the future. Otherwise, if Master hears it, a punishment will be unavoidable." The sick-looking young man's words had a hint of reproach, but his voice was faint, without a trace of anger.

But this made the young man surnamed Yu feel a chill in his heart, and he hurriedly replied:

"Senior Brother's lesson is correct; Junior Brother will definitely pay attention in the future."

Hearing the young man admit his mistake, the sick-looking young man revealed a trace of a smile on his face.

He nodded, then turned his gaze to Han Li and the others, and began to size them up one by one.

He looked very carefully, and from head to toe, he looked very slowly, making most of the people feel uneasy!

However, I don't know if it was Han Li's illusion, but he found that when the other party's gaze fell on the burly man with a full beard, he seemed to pause subconsciously, and then his eyes jumped to someone else a bit quickly.

With Han Li's cultivation, it was naturally impossible for the other party to see any flaws. But he secretly kept this matter in his heart.

After a while, this Senior Brother Miao withdrew his gaze, and then from his waist, a stack of silver-shining talismans appeared in his palm.

"There are only seven people this time, which is not much different from what I expected. Otherwise, if there were more people, my Heart-Questioning Talismans would really not be enough." Senior Brother Miao's voice was extremely calm. After placing these talismans into the young man's hand, he stood up and walked toward the second floor without looking back.

However, when the sick-looking young man was walking slowly up the corner stairs, I don't know why, he suddenly bent down and coughed violently with his back to the crowd.

Judging by the sound, he seemed to be in great pain, but afterward, he stood up and disappeared at the top of the stairs in the astonished eyes of the crowd.

Seeing this scene, a trace of surprise flashed in Han Li's eyes, but it disappeared in the blink of an eye, returning to normal.

The young man surnamed Yu revealed a look of worry, then sighed and turned back to say to Han Li and the others:

"These in my hands are the legendary Heart-Questioning Talismans. I don't think I need to explain the efficacy of this talisman in detail; you should know it too. If there is anyone who has ulterior motives or wants to muddle through, it is best to withdraw now. Otherwise, if something is found to be wrong later, don't blame our Luoyun Sect for being impolite."

As soon as these words were spoken, the young man's eyes flashed with cold light, and he coldly swept over the seven people opposite him.

Although his tone was a bit gloomy and terrifying, naturally no one would stand out at this time.

Thus, the young man surnamed Yu nodded with a relaxed expression, waved his hands, and seven silver lights shot out, each sticking to the right shoulder of each person.

The young man then sat cross-legged unhurriedly, ignoring the seven people and closing his eyes to rest.

This made the burly man and others look at each other. Although they all had their own thoughts, they didn't dare to tear off this Heart-Questioning Talisman, so they had to wait with wide eyes.

At this moment, Han Li tilted his head slightly and looked at the silver talisman on his shoulder that was close at hand, the corners of his mouth curling slightly, but then he acted as if nothing had happened.

Not long after, the talisman on Han Li's shoulder suddenly flourished with silver light, and then flickered on and off.

The young man surnamed Yu sitting cross-legged noticed something, opened his eyes, and said to Han Li without any emotion:

"You go up alone. Senior Brother Miao is waiting for you there!"

Upon hearing this, Han Li glanced at the talisman on the side and walked up without a word. A moment later, he was standing on the second floor of the building.

It was empty here, apart from two meditation cushions, there was nothing else.

And the sick-looking young man was sitting on one of the meditation cushions. Seeing Han Li walk up, he immediately revealed a faint smile and pointed to the other meditation cushion in front of him.

"Sit down! Don't worry. It will be over very soon. And the Heart-Questioning Technique is not some soul-bewitching technique; it just determines whether your answer is the truth or a lie."

"Although the judgment of this technique cannot be said to be completely correct without any mistakes. But eight or nine out of ten are still correct. So, I will ask you ten questions below. If more than three are judged to be lies, you will not be accepted by our sect. Does the fellow Daoist understand?"

"Junior understands." Han Li sighed, nodded honestly, and sat down on the meditation cushion in front of the young man.

However, Han Li sneered in his heart.

If the Heart-Questioning Technique could ask for his true thoughts, then it would really be a ghost!

"Good, let's start asking. Let's start with your background..." This Senior Brother Miao looked at the silver talisman flickering on Han Li's shoulder and began to inquire.

Half a day later, the young man surnamed Yu brought Han Li and the other seven people out of the building, and then flew straight toward the tallest mountain peak in this place.

All seven people, including Han Li, were judged to be fine by the sick-looking young man.

So they only needed to go and let the Luoyun Sect leader acknowledge and register their names, and they would be official disciples of the Luoyun Sect.

The young man surnamed Yu, who was sitting cross-legged, sensed something and suddenly opened his eyes. He said to Han Li without a hint of emotion:

"You go up alone. Senior Brother Miao is waiting for you there!"

Upon hearing this, Han Li glanced at the talismans on the side, and without a word, he lifted his legs and walked away. A moment later, he was standing on the second floor of the pavilion.

It was empty here; apart from two meditation cushions, there was nothing else.

The thin, gaunt young man was sitting cross-legged on one of the cushions. As soon as he saw Han Li walk up, he immediately revealed a faint smile and pointed a finger at the other cushion in front of him.

"Sit down! Don't worry. It will be over very quickly. Besides, the Heart-Questioning Technique is not some kind of soul-bewitching art; it merely determines whether your answers are sincere or lies."

"Although the judgment of this technique cannot be said to be completely accurate, without the slightest error, it is correct nine times out of ten. Therefore, I will ask you ten questions below. If more than three are judged to be false, you will not be accepted by this sect. Does the fellow Daoist understand?"

"This junior understands." Han Li sighed, nodded, and said honestly, then sat down on the cushion in front of the young man.

However, Han Li sneered in his heart.

If the Heart-Questioning Technique could extract his true thoughts, then there really would be a ghost!

"Good, let's begin the questioning now. Let's start with your background..." This Senior Brother Miao glanced at the silver talisman flickering on Han Li's shoulder and began to inquire.

Half a day later, the young man surnamed Yu led Han Li and the other seven people flying out of the pavilion, then headed straight for the tallest mountain peak in the area.

All seven people, including Han Li, were judged to have no issues by the gaunt young man.

Therefore, as long as they went to have the Sect Master of the Falling Cloud Sect acknowledge and register their names, they would be considered official disciples of the Falling Cloud Sect.
