After entering through the gate tower, Qin Fengming and Lan Xue'er only then realized that towering halls stood everywhere. Each one was built with extraordinary grandeur and splendor, resembling the residence of an official.
Along the way, they saw quite a few cultivators entering and leaving the various halls.
What slightly surprised Qin Fengming was that most of these cultivators were actually Rogue Cultivators, and all of them were above Foundation Establishment. There were even quite a few Core Formation realm cultivators.
"Senior Fang is in charge of recruiting patrol personnel inside this hall. The two seniors may enter on your own." After bringing Qin Fengming and Lan Xue'er to the entrance of a towering hall, the Floating Purity Sect cultivator bowed and said.
"Sorry for the trouble, Fellow Daoist. This is just a small token of my appreciation. Please accept it."
Qin Fengming flipped his hand, and fifty spirit stones appeared in his palm. He then handed them to the Foundation Establishment cultivator.
"Thank you for the senior's reward. May I ask where the two seniors intend to serve as patrols?"
The Foundation Establishment cultivator happily put away the spirit stones, but did not leave. Instead, he bowed again and asked.
"Ah, is there some hidden catch to these patrol duties?" Seeing the cultivator accept the spirit stones yet hesitate slightly before asking, Qin Fengming immediately knew there was more to the matter.
"Indeed, there is something the senior does not know. This time, the recruitment of patrol cultivators is not being carried out by the Floating Purity Sect alone. Rather, we are acting under orders from the Hidden Cloud Sect, Divine Sword Gate, Holy Emperor Pavilion, Azure Dragon Gate, and Lion Camel Mountain—the Five Great Sects. The Floating Purity Sect is merely flying the banner and running errands.
