Reception Courtyard

After entrusting Ye Qingxuan and Ye Qingxiao to his own ancestor, Ye Yuhong left the Xuantian Sect.

After all, though the Xuantian Sect was good, as the Ye Family Patriarch, many matters in the Ye Family still awaited his handling. It was truly inconvenient for him to remain in the Xuantian Sect for long.

After Ye Yuhong left, Ye Zhaoyang led Ye Qingxuan and Ye Qingxiao toward the center of the Xuantian Mountain Range, toward that incomparably massive mountain that pierced straight into the clouds.

Only then did Ye Qingxuan learn that the tallest and most majestic peak in the Xuantian Mountain Range was called Xuantian Peak!

Xuantian Peak was also where most of the Xuantian Sect's powerful figures gathered. Basically, all the Xuantian Sect's major elders, including the Sect Master, had opened Dao Fields on Xuantian Peak.

The stronger one was and the higher one's status, the higher up one's Dao Field and cave mansion would be located.

After arriving at the foot of Xuantian Peak, Ye Zhaoyang led Ye Qingxuan and Ye Qingxiao to find a White-Haired Elder. Smiling warmly, he said:

"Steward Mo, these are two juniors of mine who wish to enter the Xuantian Sect. One of them is a Blessed Cultivator Reserve disciple. I will have to trouble you to look after them in the future."

As he spoke, Ye Zhaoyang secretly handed Steward Mo a small pouch.

Steward Mo accepted the pouch Ye Zhaoyang handed him and put it away with practiced ease. Smiling, he said:

"Junior Brother Ye, you truly have Good Luck. I never expected you to obtain a Blessed Cultivator Quota. Hehe, leave these two to me. You can rest assured!"

Seeing that Steward Mo addressed him as Junior Brother and knowing that Steward Mo wanted to Pull Closer to him, Ye Zhaoyang Followed the Trend and changed his form of address as well.

"If that is the case, then I will have to trouble Senior Brother Mo from now on!"

Though Steward Mo's Cultivation Realm was inferior to his, a manager in the Xuantian Sect held a status equal to that of a Core Disciple.

Moreover, most managers were Core Disciples with no hope of breaking through. Once they reached a certain point, the sect assigned them to various places to handle trivial affairs, and they thus became managers.

Therefore, managers were generally more senior than ordinary Core Disciples, so it was not improper for Ye Zhaoyang to address him as Senior Brother.

Afterward, Ye Zhaoyang looked towards Ye Qingxuan and Ye Qingxiao again and introduced them.

"Qingxiao, Qingxuan, this is Manager Mo Tian. From now on, you are to follow Manager Mo's instructions!"

Hearing Ye Zhaoyang's words, Ye Qingxuan and Ye Qingxiao All Together respectfully said to Mo Tian:

"Qingxuan, Qingxiao, greetings, Manager Mo!"

Seeing the respectful manner of Ye Qingxuan and Ye Qingxiao, Mo Tian stroked his beard in satisfaction.

Thus, after Ye Zhaoyang handed Ye Qingxuan and Ye Qingxiao over to Mo Tian, he hurried back to his own cave mansion for Deep Cultivation.

After Ye Zhaoyang left, Mo Tian looked at Ye Qingxuan and Ye Qingxiao with a smile.

"You two are quite lucky. There are only a few days left before the sect's annual Entrance Ceremony. I will first take you to the sect's Reception Courtyard for a few days!"

As it turned out, the Xuantian Sect was a Large Family, with countless Affiliated Forces under it. Every year, those forces sent disciples with decent talent into the sect.

Coupled With the fact that some Sect Elders occasionally brought back a few disciples with Outstanding Talent when traveling abroad.

However, as a Hegemon-level Force of the Dihuan Realm, the Xuantian Sect naturally could not accept disciples carelessly, without rules or regulations.

Thus, for the sect's development and to deal with such situations.

The Xuantian Sect stipulated that a small-scale Sect Entry Ceremony would be held every year, while a large-scale Recruitment Ceremony would be held once every hundred years.

The Xuantian Sect did not lack people. What it lacked were Peerless Geniuses who could support the Xuantian Sect in the future.

Generally, the annual Entrance Ceremony merely existed for the convenience of certain people within the Sect Interior, so its requirements were much lower. After all, the sect also needed people to handle mundane affairs.

The once-a-century Recruitment Ceremony, on the other hand, was a grand event open to the Twenty-one Great States under the Xuantian Sect and even the entire Dihuan Realm.

Not only the Xuantian Sect did this. All the Hegemon-level Forces in the Dihuan Realm had reached a Tacit Understanding: every hundred years, they would hold their Recruitment Ceremonies simultaneously.

The once-in-a-century Recruitment Ceremony was simply not comparable to the current annual Entrance Ceremony.

This once-in-a-century Recruitment Ceremony was what the Xuantian Sect valued most, the true channel through which it recruited the sect's Elite Disciples.

The assessment difficulty would rise greatly, and quite a few Sect Elders would Exit Cultivation to recruit Entry-level disciples.

Under Mo Tian's lead, Ye Qingxuan and Ye Qingxiao arrived at the Reception Courtyard. At this time, there were already quite a few people in the Reception Courtyard.

With Mo Tian personally making the arrangements, the two quickly Settled Down temporarily in a small courtyard within the Reception Courtyard.

After finishing all this, Mo Tian looked towards Ye Qingxuan and the other and spoke.

"You two should stay here for a few days first. Once you enter the sect, I will arrange things for you."

After giving his instructions, Mo Tian left This Place.

Within the small courtyard, Ye Qingxuan looked at the unfamiliar surroundings before him and had no intention whatsoever of going out.

For the next few days, he planned to wait obediently in the small courtyard for the Sect Entry Ceremony to begin.

As for Ye Qingxiao, he could not bear the loneliness. Before long, he slipped out of the small courtyard alone and wandered about the Reception Courtyard.

That afternoon, Ye Qingxiao got acquainted with several friends who were likewise waiting in the Reception Courtyard for the Sect Entry Ceremony.

The next day, dragged along by Ye Qingxiao, Ye Qingxuan could only follow him to meet the new friends he had gotten acquainted with.

Upon arriving at a courtyard, they saw three youths of varying builds seated around a Stone Table in the center.

The three looked at Ye Qingxuan, whom Ye Qingxiao had brought over. One of them asked curiously:

"Brother Qingxiao, who is this?"

Hearing the question, Ye Qingxiao familiarly pulled Ye Qingxuan over to an empty seat around the Stone Table and introduced him.

"Li Brother, this is my brother, Ye Qingxuan."

He then introduced the three men to Ye Qingxuan.

"Qingxuan, these three are friends I got acquainted with yesterday: the three brothers Li Xuan, Zhu Dafu, and Long Tian."

The three were sizing up Ye Qingxuan, and Ye Qingxuan was likewise sizing up Li Xuan, Zhu Dafu, and Long Tian.

Though making friends did not hold much meaning for a future Blessed Cultivator like himself, he did not wish to disappoint Ye Qingxiao's good intentions, so he took the initiative to speak.

"Qingxuan greets the three brothers."

Hearing Ye Qingxuan's words, Ye Dafu gave a Slight Smile and Nodded, while Long Tian did not even look at Ye Qingxuan, merely drinking his tea by himself.

Li Xuan, who faintly seemed to be their leader, smiled and said:

"Hehe, Brother Qingxuan, there is no need for such courtesy. I heard that Brother Qingxuan obtained a Blessed Cultivator Quota. To have the great resolve to Become A Blessed Cultivator truly earns Li Xuan's admiration."

Hearing This, Ye Qingxuan subconsciously glanced at Ye Qingxiao. Seeing his Face Full Of shock and confusion at Li Xuan's words, Ye Qingxuan knew that Ye Qingxiao had not revealed it.

Thus, Ye Qingxuan gave a light laugh.

"Brother Li Xuan, your information network is quite well-informed. We Two Brothers only entered the courtyard yesterday, yet Brother Li Xuan has already investigated our backgrounds so thoroughly."

As he spoke, Ye Qingxuan looked at Li Xuan with amusement.

Seeing Ye Qingxuan's expression, Li Xuan Shook His Head unhurriedly, cupped his hands, and smiled.

"Not at all, not at all! Brother Qingxuan has misunderstood. I merely enjoy gathering some hearsay that cannot be brought into polite company. If I have offended you, I hope Brother Qingxuan can forgive me!"

At this, Ye Qingxuan's expression eased slightly, but before he could speak.

Long Tian, seated nearby, set down his teacup, glanced sidelong at Ye Qingxuan, and said disdainfully:

"Brother Xuan, he is merely a Blessed Cultivator with Low Talent and no future. What is there to recruit?"

"Heh, Blessed Cultivators? Are they not just a group of hopeless, unconventional farmers? Other than bringing their backers and sects a few insignificant resources, what value do they have that is worth recruiting?"

Long Tian had never understood what Li Xuan and Zhu Dafu had been thinking, recruiting so many Blessed Cultivator Reserve members over the past More Than Half year.

What a Waste time!

Long Tian sneered inwardly and paid no attention to the slightly darkened expressions of those present.

Ye Qingxiao could not help flying into a rage.

"You brat, what nonsense are you spouting? Do you want a taste of my fists?"

As he spoke, he rolled up his sleeves and was about to teach Long Tian a lesson, only to be stopped by Ye Qingxuan at his side.

After stopping Ye Qingxiao, Ye Qingxuan gave a cold laugh.

"What? Are you questioning the sect? In your eyes, the Blessed Cultivators whom the sect painstakingly cultivated in the Early Stage, the Blessed Cultivators who nurtured massive quantities of Low-Tier Resources for the sect, are merely useless farmers? How utterly laughable!"

Though Ye Qingxuan was Fond of Quiet by nature, that did not mean he could be bullied at will!

Hearing Ye Qingxuan's words, Li Xuan and Zhu Dafu, who had remained silent all along, both changed expression. Seeing that Long Tian was still unconvinced and wanted to continue speaking, Li Xuan rebuked him.

"Long Tian, this is the Xuantian Sect, not your Long Family."

Faced with Li Xuan's rebuke, Long Tian's face darkened. He suppressed the words he had been about to say and complained:

"Keeping company with a group of Blessed Cultivators, I really Don't Know what you two are thinking. Hmph, play by yourselves! This young master will not keep you company."

With that, he abandoned Li Xuan and Zhu Dafu and left alone.

Seeing Long Tian leave, Li Xuan could only apologize to Ye Qingxuan.

"Brother Qingxuan, please forgive us! We were at fault This Time!"

Facing Li Xuan's apology, Ye Qingxuan slowly Shook His Head.

"Brother Li Xuan need not be so. This matter has nothing to do with you. Qingxuan still has matters to attend to, so I shall Take Leave first!"

With that, Ye Qingxuan led Ye Qingxiao away from This Place.

After the two left, Zhu Dafu asked:

"Brother Xuan, given the current situation, should we continue trying to recruit this Ye Qingxuan?"

Hearing Zhu Dafu's words, Li Xuan laughed and said calmly:

"He is only a Tier One Blessed Cultivator. He will not affect the Overall Situation. Over nearly a year, the Blessed Cultivator Reserve members we have recruited are already enough."

Hearing This, Zhu Dafu looked in the direction Ye Qingxuan had left. He merely Nodded and said nothing.

"Besides, As Long As nothing goes wrong with that Lin Fan, the others are of no consequence!"

Hearing Lin Fan's name, a trace of envy flashed through Zhu Dafu's formerly calm, unruffled eyes.

Thank you all for your recommendation votes, thank you!
