Chapter 2055: No One Asks About It

This rundown sect, Xu Jie really didn't want to stay another second; after coming out of that solemn and dignified main hall, he urged Hong Zun and Zhao Zhengping to hurry up and set off.

One could see the three steadily riding on an immortal boat, the boat shimmering with mysterious light all over, as if it could traverse time and space.

At this moment, however, Hong Zun looked at Xu Jie with a helpless and speechless expression, and spoke.

"Old Three, what in the world are you rushing about so frantically to do?"

Hearing this, Xu Jie's eyes glazed over, and he replied weakly.

"Master, can you really still stay here? Look outside our sect—treasures of immeasurable value everywhere, those priceless rarities swaying before our eyes; we can only stare, unable to touch them—doesn't that make you feel anguished?"

Upon hearing these words, Hong Zun first fell silent, then stammered a reply.

"I... this..."

"As the saying goes, a great teacher produces outstanding students; with such a greedy disciple, how could the master be an exception?"

"Don't look at Xu Jie drooling with desire right now, but in truth Hong Zun's inner longing is no less than that of his disciple."

However, Hong Zun, being somewhat older and having experienced more trials, still had to put on a calm and unperturbed exterior.

However, at this very moment, when he heard Xu Jie voice his innermost thoughts directly, Hong Zun could no longer hold back; he gave a slight nod, indicating his agreement.

"Alright then, let's go."

Indeed, as Xu Jie said, so many mouth-watering treasures are within reach, yet we can only look, not take—this feeling is truly tormenting.

Rather than suffering here, it's better to be out of sight, out of mind, and leave quickly.

Thus, the three no longer delayed, driving the immortal boat all the way, speeding toward the not-so-distant Boundless Immortal City.

At the same moment, Ye Zhangqing, busy in the canteen, also received a message from Yun Xiantai.

After learning that the three from Yun Xiantai were going to Boundless Immortal City to arrange the mountain-opening disciple recruitment, he replied, saying that he would definitely return to the sect on that day when the recruitment takes place.

After all, as a member of the Dao One Immortal Sect, especially since this is the first time holding the mountain-opening disciple recruitment ceremony, Ye Zhangqing felt he absolutely could not miss this grand event.

Having thought this through, Ye Zhangqing no longer dwelled on it, but quickly shifted his focus to cooking.

After all, in his view, the most crucial task at present is still to diligently accumulate good review points; only thus can he continually enhance his strength.

So not long after, he completely put the matter of mountain-opening disciple recruitment behind him and devoted himself wholeheartedly to the tense and busy cultivation.

Turning our gaze back to Boundless Immortal City, the three who had hurried there that day had already found a suitable dwelling in this prosperous immortal city.

After repeated consideration, they finally spent a fortune to purchase what appeared to be an ordinary residence, and swiftly replaced its signboard with one bearing the majesty of the Dao One Immortal Sect.

From then on, this place became an important stronghold of the Dao One Immortal Sect in Boundless Immortal City.

After careful management and decoration, the originally somewhat shabby residence gradually blossomed with vigor.

Yet even so, Xu Jie could not suppress his inner dissatisfaction, and couldn't help but voice his complaints.

"Senior Brother, do you think the housing prices in Boundless Immortal City are outrageously high? Look at the residence we bought—it's literally asking for a lion's share, daring to demand a full hundred thousand immortal crystals; this is nothing short of robbery."

"Alright, after all this is one of the twenty-four immortal cities of the Immortal Realm; somewhat high prices are to be expected, and besides, it will surely be useful in the future, so let's hurry to prepare for the mountain-opening affair."

Zhao Zhengping, standing at the side, upon hearing this, hurriedly spoke to mediate.

Actually, there wasn't much elaborate preparation needed; thus, on the next day, the three flung open their gates, full of confidence, ready to begin promoting the mountain-opening disciple recruitment.

They had originally expected to be swamped today, but to their astonishment, an entire morning passed without a single person appearing.

In the front courtyard, Xu Jie, bored out of his mind, began complaining to Zhao Zhengping.

"Senior Brother, are those people you recruited to help with promotion reliable or not? It's almost noon, yet not a single inquirer has shown up."

Faced with Xu Jie's doubts, Zhao Zhengping felt just as uncertain inside, but he still put on a calm front and replied.

"Well... let's be patient and wait a bit; perhaps the situation will improve this afternoon."

In fact, the three had indeed hired a group of loose cultivators to spread the news of the mountain-opening disciple recruitment throughout the city.

By rights, these loose cultivators weren't slacking off; they were genuinely doing their utmost to spread the word.

Unfortunately, things turned out contrary to expectation; despite their efforts, they still failed to achieve the desired effect.

Actually, the problem lay with the other cultivators in the city.

When they heard that an immortal sect was going to open its mountain to recruit disciples, most showed little interest, and some didn't even know such a sect existed in the Immortal Realm.

Everyone shook their heads, expressing doubt.

"What sect is this? I've never heard of it before; does the Immortal Realm even have such a sect?"

In this vast and boundless Immortal Realm, a sect whose name one has never even heard of.

Who would take an interest in it?

Naturally, no one would be willing to spend time and energy to come and investigate.

Perhaps this is what people often say, 'Everything is difficult at the beginning'; after all, the Dao One Immortal Sect has only just been established, and in the vast Immortal Realm it possesses not a shred of reputation, and even those who have heard its name are few and far between.

How could such an obscure sect possibly attract those young cultivators eager to pursue the Grand Dao and display their ambitions?

Moreover, imagine if one rashly joined such a sect of unknown origin; if unlucky, encountering a fraud or evil cultivator, the consequences would be unthinkable.

One might even be thrown into the alchemical furnace by those ill‑intentioned people to serve as material for refining pills.

Just imagining such a horrifying scene makes one's heart tremble, let alone experiencing it firsthand.

Therefore, most immortals, when faced with such an unknown, reputation‑less, and unsecured sect, choose to keep their distance to avoid inviting disaster upon themselves.

In short, regarding the Dao One Immortal Sect, almost everyone scoffs at it and has no interest whatsoever.
