Tang San withdrew his hand and settled back into his seat beside the table.
Lin Xuan continued along the same thread of conversation.
"If we're going to establish a sect, the two of us alone won't be enough to hold it up. We'll need help from others. If there are people we can recruit, we should start planning as early as possible."
Tang San reined in his astonishment and considered the matter seriously.
"We should indeed prepare early. But the Mysterious Heaven Skill has its requirements. Ordinary people find it extremely difficult even to get started.
"And breaking through the eight extraordinary vessels is exceptionally dangerous. The slightest mistake can displace the meridians. Most Soul Masters would struggle to endure it."
Lin Xuan nodded in agreement.
"That's not a problem."
"If a sect wants to establish a firm footing, it naturally needs an outer and an inner sect. We can recruit those with outstanding talent as core members."
Tang San voiced his agreement.
"That may be true, but we must be careful when selecting core members.
"In my opinion, Xiao Wu and Zhuqing both have excellent comprehension and resilient temperaments. We could consider them.
"Although Zhuqing comes from the Star Luo Zhu Family, she has no attachment to its rules.
"As for Rongrong, her position is special. She is, after all, the cherished jewel of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and will inherit it someday. I'm afraid it would be difficult for her to leave her sect and join us."
Lin Xuan smiled and waved a hand.
"There's no rush. We still have quite some time before the Soul Master Tournament, and we won't have time to formally establish the sect before it ends anyway. Let's finish the tournament first and let everything else take its course."
"You're right.
