Chapter 613

"That Eastern Li Xuan City Master had better not have rule crystals, otherwise..."

Hearing this, a trace of inexplicable look also flashed in Ling Ling Yunhai's eyes.

He was also very curious, what was the origin of this Eastern Li Xuan City Master, and where did the origin crystals in his hands come from?

Just as this Eastern Li Xuan City Master said at the beginning, the source and value of rule crystals, he naturally knew in his heart.

Then, did this Eastern Li Xuan City Master really have rule crystals? Looking back at the direction of Eastern Li Xuan City, a trace of thought flashed in Ling Ling Yunhai's eyes.

Finally, Ling Ling Yunhai could only shake his head, pressing some unknown thoughts to the bottom of his heart, and gradually moved away from Eastern Li Xuan City.

Eastern Region, Ling Yunhai Province.

In a relatively remote city within Ling Yunhai Province.

Ye Ye Xuanyun and Ye Ye Ximing were resting in a restaurant in this city specially for entertaining cultivators.

Tasting the food made of spirit materials, and listening to the conversations of many cultivators in the restaurant, to find out some news useful to them.

Although most of the cultivators who appeared in this restaurant were just some low-level cultivators in this city.

But compared to Ye Ye Xuanyun and Ye Ye Ximing, who had just left Ye Family Village not long ago, these low-level cultivators in the restaurant knew much more about the situation in the outside world than the two of them.

"For the recruitment grand event a few years from now, I wonder which sect you all plan to send your descendants to for cultivation?"

"If possible, the three major hegemon-level forces in our Eastern Region are naturally the first choice."

"Not bad, but the Tianyuan Sect is too far from our Ling Yunhai Province. As for the Huangfu Immortal Clan? Not worth mentioning! So for our Ling Yunhai Province, the best choice is actually the Profound Yi Tianzong."

"Hard to say? Heaven is high and the emperor is far away, what is hard to say? Besides, what we are discussing are facts that everyone knows, not some secrets that cannot be revealed."

"Exactly, it's nothing more than the Huangfu Immortal Clan only recruiting guards and patrons; if it's not a genius with peerless talent marrying into the Huangfu Immortal Clan, they can't get core cultivation at all, what is hard to say about this?"

"You guys, you are still too young; no matter what, the Huangfu Immortal Clan is ultimately a hegemon-level force."

"After joining the Huangfu Immortal Clan, even if you don't get core cultivation, the resources you get will far exceed those of other large and small forces."

"This... have to admit, it is indeed so."

"Why think so much? As long as you meet the requirements, the first choice is definitely the Profound Yi Tianzong, right? After all, our Ling Yunhai Province is also one of the large provinces under the Profound Yi Tianzong."

"I naturally want to go to the Profound Yi Tianzong, but unfortunately my son's talent is too low, so I can only try to participate in the recruitment ceremony of the number one sect in our Ling Yunhai Province, the Tianhai Sect."

"You guys are really picky? Or before, the dignified Tianhai Sect might not necessarily look down on your descendants; you must know that the Tianhai Sect is one of the few Void Meditation-level affiliated forces under the Profound Yi Tianzong."

A Void Meditation-level force was already the strongest level of affiliated force under the Profound Yi Tianzong.

As for forces with even higher strength, even if they were born in a large province governed by the Profound Yi Tianzong, they would basically choose to pay a certain price to break away from the Profound Yi Tianzong.

Then leave the large province governed by the Profound Yi Tianzong and move to other large provinces without hegemon-level forces to develop.

And besides the Li Xuan Province where the sect station was located, the other twenty large provinces under the Profound Yi Tianzong basically had Void Meditation-level affiliated forces to a greater or lesser extent.

Among them, in Ling Yunhai Province, the Void Meditation-level affiliated force of the Profound Yi Tianzong was the number one sect in Ling Yunhai Province that everyone mentioned: the Tianhai Sect. "This fellow Daoist is right, like our city that is relatively independent and not directly governed by any force, it is indeed not bad for the cultivators born to be able to join the Tianhai Sect."

"My youngest son who just detected his spiritual roots, I am preparing to send him to the Tianhai Sect."

"If it weren't for the fact that the Tianhai Sect has suffered heavy casualties of middle and low-level disciples over these years."

"Plus after the cultivation great era descended, the requirements of major forces for the spiritual root talent of recruiting disciples gradually lowered, our descendants might not necessarily be able to join these major forces."

"Brother Li is also right, it's just that we were a bit overwhelmed by the recruitment grand event that is about to be held in a few years."

Like a major force like the Tianhai Sect, they would basically also have cities they established and completely controlled, and there were not a few such cities.

When recruiting disciples, the Tianhai Sect would also prioritize recruiting new-generation cultivators from the cities they controlled.

Similarly, if geniuses with outstanding talent were born in the cities directly controlled by the Tianhai Sect, they would also be directly collected by the Tianhai Sect.

Otherwise, as an affiliated force of the Profound Yi Tianzong.

How could a major force like the Tianhai Sect compete with the Profound Yi Tianzong when recruiting disciples from the outside? And how could they cultivate generations of powerhouses to support the system of a major force like the Tianhai Sect?

You must know, before the stability of the Di Li Xuan Realm's heaven and earth improved significantly.

The number of teleportation arrays between provinces, prefectures, and counties in the five regions of the Di Li Xuan Realm was countless, and the coming and going between provinces, prefectures, and counties was extremely convenient.

Even if it was just a cultivator at the Qi Refining Realm, as long as they accumulated some spirit stones, they could rely on teleportation arrays to travel across provinces.

Under such circumstances, it was an easy thing for them to send their descendants with excellent talent to better sect cultivators.

So in this recruitment environment.

Major sects actively established mortal cities that they completely controlled and protected.

And gave the mortal residents in these cities an extremely superior living environment.

Before the great era descended, the quotas for major sects to recruit disciples would basically prioritize satisfying the new-generation cultivators in the major cities they directly governed.

When recruiting disciples from the outside, sects of different levels would raise the recruitment requirements to different heights.

Anyway, they couldn't recruit real geniuses from the outside, so it was better to raise the threshold when recruiting disciples from the outside to show off their force.

After all, for major sects.

Except for some 'geniuses', no matter how many middle and low-level disciples there were in the sect, it could not change the situation of the sect.

As for the judgment of 'genius' talent? It could only be that for sects of different levels, the requirements for 'genius' would naturally be very different.

For example, for some small forces at the Nascent Soul level, cultivators with five-element spiritual roots were already rare 'geniuses' to them.

Hearing the discussion coming from not far away, Ye Ye Xuanyun, who was sitting in a corner, looked at Ye Ye Ximing beside him who was eating, and fell into thought in his mind:

"Tianhai Sect? The number one sect in Ling Yunhai Province?"

Ye Ye Xuanyun was already thinking at this time, if they couldn't catch up with the Profound Yi Tianzong's recruitment ceremony, then sending Ye Ye Ximing into the Tianhai Sect seemed to be a good choice.

After all, no matter what, the Tianhai Sect was also a Void Meditation-level force. That was a major force with Void Meditation Realm powerhouses sitting in command, ah? Even the Ye family in their prime back then was only a Nascent Soul-level family.

Therefore, Ye Ye Xuanyun, who did not know the content that the current village chief of Ye Family Village, Ye Ye Qingfeng, had privately explained to Ye Ye Ximing, had already moved the idea of sending Ye Ye Ximing into the Tianhai Sect at this time.

Just at this moment, a somewhat proud voice came again from the central area of the third-floor hall of the restaurant:

"Hehehe, your descendants' talent is not good, so naturally you can only settle for the second best."

"And my grandson, naturally, is to be sent to the Profound Yi Tianzong to get better resources for cultivation, so that he can be worthy of my grandson's talent."

Hearing this, some dissatisfied voices instantly came from the hall, retorting: "Old Man Bai, who can't talk big? You don't think that just by meeting the minimum requirements for the Profound Yi Tianzong's recruitment ceremony, you will definitely be able to join the Profound Yi Tianzong, right? Hahahaha..."

"Exactly, for a recruitment ceremony held by a hegemon-level force like the Profound Yi Tianzong, talent is not the only standard of measurement."

"Participating in the recruitment ceremony held by the Profound Yi Tianzong, the better the talent, the more it will only lower the requirements for other assessments and increase the probability of joining the Profound Yi Tianzong."

"But this does not mean that you will definitely be able to join the Profound Yi Tianzong."

"If you say that the probability of a cultivator with five-element spiritual root talent participating in the Profound Yi Tianzong's recruitment ceremony and successfully joining the Profound Yi Tianzong is seventy percent."

"Then the probability of a cultivator with three-element spiritual root talent participating in the Profound Yi Tianzong's recruitment ceremony and successfully joining the Profound Yi Tianzong is actually less than thirty percent."

"If it weren't for the fact that the situation in our Di Li Xuan Realm has been changing rapidly these years and the cultivation great era has descended, and the Profound Yi Tianzong has also lowered its requirements for recruiting disciples, I am afraid that the probability I mentioned would have dropped significantly."

"Brother Liu is right, Old Man Bai, even if your grandson participates in the Profound Yi Tianzong's recruitment ceremony, what is the probability that he can join the Profound Yi Tianzong? Hahahaha..."

Hearing everyone's ridicule, Old Man Bai's face instantly turned iron-blue, but then he raised his head proudly and scanned everyone, self-conceitedly: "Hmph, what do you know? My grandson is a genius with seven-element spiritual root talent."

"As long as my grandson goes to participate in the Profound Yi Tianzong's recruitment ceremony, then my grandson joining the Profound Yi Tianzong is absolutely a sure thing."

"What? Your grandson is actually a genius with seven-element spiritual root talent? Old Bai, did you step on dog shit?"

"Actually seven-element spiritual root talent? This should be the best talent that has appeared in our Dongyuncheng, this remote small city, right?"

Hearing the discussion coming from the central area of the hall.

Ye Ye Xuanyun, who was sitting in the corner, looked at Ye Ye Ximing beside him who was eating hard, and a very obvious look of pride appeared in his eyes, secretly thinking: "Your grandson is a mere seven-element spiritual root genius and you look down on the Tianhai Sect, then our Ming'er is a genius with nine-element spiritual root talent, so naturally he cannot fall behind others."

"This Tianhai Sect, let's forget it."

In a short period of time, Ye Ye Xuanyun's thoughts underwent a earth-shaking change.

And Ye Ye Ximing on the side did not know this, he was currently concentrating on fighting the meals made of first-order spirit materials.

Just at this moment, a few somewhat jealous voices came from the hall again:

"Old Man Bai, although the province-level teleportation arrays in the Eastern Region have been renovated and upgraded, they can already be used for inter-province teleportation."

"But the distance from our Dongyuncheng to the province city of Ling Yunhai Province is not short, and you, Old Man Bai, are only at the late stage of the Qi Refining Realm, I am afraid that even ten years of time would be far from enough to send your grandson to the Ling Yunhai Province City, right?"

"Plus, every time inter-province teleportation is activated, it needs to wait for a thousand people to gather."

"With the little time left before the recruitment ceremony, I am afraid your grandson won't be able to catch up with the Profound Yi Tianzong's recruitment ceremony, right? Hehehehe..."

"Not bad, what's the use of good talent? Your grandson still won't be able to join the Profound Yi Tianzong this time?"

Hearing these jealous words, a few cultivators in the hall who were on good terms with Old Man Bai could not help but speak up, wanting to win back the scene for Old Man Bai.

"Hmph, you are nothing more than jealous."

"Not to mention that a seven-element spiritual root genius doesn't need to participate in the Profound Yi Tianzong's recruitment ceremony, they can also obtain the opportunity to join the Profound Yi Tianzong through the inherent recruitment points in the province city."

"Not to mention that City Master had already revealed to the outside world a few months ago that for this recruitment grand event, the Profound Yi Tianzong would also hold large-scale recruitment ceremonies in the major province cities under its command."

"As long as they are five-element spiritual roots and above, and meet the age requirements, they can participate in the preliminary assessment of the Profound Yi Tianzong's recruitment ceremony in the province city where they are located."

"Not bad, once the preliminary assessment is passed, later they will be escorted to the Profound Yi Tianzong by the Profound Yi Tianzong elders stationed in the province city, and there is no need to rush at all."

"Old Bai's grandson is a seven-element spiritual root genius, no matter what method he chooses to join the Profound Yi Tianzong, it is basically a sure thing."

"Exactly, I don't believe that you people who are cold and sarcastic don't know this in your hearts?"

"This..."

Those who were cold and sarcastic to Old Man Bai just now instantly became speechless.

And Ye Ye Xuanyun, who had been listening all along, was fully focused, grabbing the time to record all the information he heard in his heart.

At the same time, Ye Ye Xuanyun touched Ye Ye Ximing's head who was eating hard, and the urgency in his heart instantly disappeared.

"According to what they said, with Ming'er's talent, even if he misses the Profound Yi Tianzong's recruitment ceremony this time, I think joining the Profound Yi Tianzong shouldn't be a difficult thing."

Thinking of this, a smile appeared on Ye Ye Xuanyun's face.

Just at this moment, an insidious voice suddenly came from somewhere in the hall:

"Hehehehe, Old Man Bai, you exposed your grandson's talent in public, aren't you afraid that someone will take action and make your grandson die prematurely?"

Once these words were spoken, the expressions of many people in the hall changed, and they cursed in their hearts: "Which idiot? Shouldn't this kind of thing be done silently and secretly?"

"This makes the Bai family have precautions, if they seek the protection of the City Master, wouldn't it be as difficult as ascending to heaven to kill Old Man Bai's grandson?"

Besides some people with bad intentions, there were also quite a few friends of Old Man Bai whose expressions changed, and then they looked at him with worry.

It was just that, compared to the changes in other people's expressions.

Old Man Bai did not feel afraid when he heard this, but instead, essence flashed in his eyes, and he said with a smile:

"Hehehehe, my grandson had already rushed to the Ling Yunhai Province City under the protection of the City Master yesterday after detecting his spiritual roots."

"This time, I have made everyone worry in vain, I am very sorry!"

After speaking, Old Man Bai scanned the surroundings with a meaningful look.
