Entering the Sect

Several months later.

On a large ship, thousands of children, boys, and girls from various regions, all possessing Spirit Root, stood on the deck, looking down at the land through the ship's protective shield, each one extremely excited.

"Jiang Yao, look! That person is so small, like an ant!"

Zhang Erhu stared wide-eyed, excitedly pointing to the farmers in a field below.

"Yes, it's so small!"

Fang Yu gave a perfunctory reply, finding it quite boring. The view from the sky was only novel for those newly entering the world of cultivation, much like the first time flying in an airplane. After a while, there was nothing to see anymore.

"Get out of the way! Can't you see Senior Brother Arita?"

Suddenly, a shout rang out. Fang Yu looked in the direction of the sound and saw a group of teenagers surrounding ' Wu Youtian ' and heading towards the best viewing area on the deck.

Wu Youtian's once youthful face was now filled with arrogance, his chin held high, whether because he was too short to look up at people or because he disdained to walk with his head down.

"It's just Heaven Spirit Root, what's so great about it!"

Zhang Erhu, standing to the side, watched as Wu Youtian and his group forcibly occupied the best viewing platform, and muttered something under his breath.

Fang Yu smiled. "Heaven Spirit Root is truly remarkable. Didn't you hear from your senior brothers that he's already been accepted as a disciple by a Golden Core elder from the inner sect?"

Zhang Erhu said Qi Ingestion, "This is so unfair! We're all just starting out, why do we have to start as menial disciples while he directly becomes inner disciple!"

"That's already very fair!" Fang Yu patted Zhang Erhu on the shoulder and said, "Heaven Spirit Root neither you nor I can compare to."

"So what if I was born into a good family? Once I enter the sect, I will definitely work hard to cultivate and become inner disciple in the future!" Zhang Erhu was clearly Qi Ingestion, and his fists were clenched so tightly that the veins bulged as he spoke.

"Then you'd better work hard, or you'll be a menial disciple for life!"

Fang Yu smiled. He agreed with Erhu's Qi Ingestion. Young people should be like that, with vigor and ambition. Only in this way can they turn the tables. Although 99% of people will fail to turn the tables, there are always some who can succeed and become role models for countless mediocre people. Perhaps Zhang Erhu is that lucky one.

Several days later, the large ship arrived at the Ascension Immortal Sect. The buildings, which appeared and disappeared in the clouds, were like a fairyland, causing many of the young people on board to exclaim in amazement.

Amidst the exclamations, the large ship traversed towering mountains and arrived at a vast basin, landing on a plaza.

The disciples then disembarked and stepped onto the cobblestone path.

"Everyone, follow me!"

Xu Junting, Wu Kongqing, Qingwu, and other outer disciples shouted loudly, leading Fang Yu and other disciples whose Spirit Root they had tested towards a main hall.

Fang Yu looked around and saw that it wasn't just their large ship that was disembarking; there were also more than ten other large ships disembarking, and more large ships that had just arrived were waiting to land in the sky.

A rough calculation shows that there are tens of thousands of people involved, and this large ship is certainly not the first, nor will it be the last; who knows how many more will follow.

As expected of a ' Spirit Transformation ' level immortal sect, this time they recruited hundreds of thousands of disciples, practically bringing in every mortal with Spirit Root within their territory.

With so many disciples, the difficulty of extricating oneself from among them is self-evident.

While pondering, the group arrived before the grand ceremony and saw a plaque hanging above the hall gate that read "Hall of Miscellaneous Services." As the group surged inside, Fang Yu discovered that this "Hall of Miscellaneous Services" looked like an ordinary mortal hall from the outside, but once inside, the space was indeed enormous, easily accommodating tens of thousands of people.

Fang Yu and his group followed Xu Junting to an open space inside the hall, where they saw more than a dozen cultivators dressed in Daoist robes, exuding an imposing aura, waiting for them.

Upon seeing Xu Junting and his group, the cultivators all displayed obsequious expressions and stepped forward to pay their respects.

Xu Junting and the others nodded slightly and said, "We'll leave the person to you!" Then they looked at Wu Youtian and the three other young men with High-Grade Spirit Root standing with him, and said gently, "Junior brothers, please come with me to the inner sect!"

After Xu Junting and the others left, the obsequious expressions on the faces of the dozen or so cultivators vanished. One of the elders stepped forward, his sharp gaze sweeping over the numerous disciples:

"Listen up, all of you! From this moment on, you are all menial disciples of the Ascension Immortal Sect. After you are assigned tasks, you will return to the mountain with your respective stewards to perform your duties..."

The old man explained the rules that the menial disciples needed to follow, their duties, some important points about the sect, the benefits for new disciples, and so on. Then he took out a booklet and began taking attendance.

"Zhang Liang, kitchen... Qian Tieniu, workshop... Chen Laoqi, Alchemy Chamber... Zhang Erhu, grain room..."

As the old man called out names, one by one the stewards beckoned to the cultivators, signaling them to stand behind him. Soon, Fang Yu heard his name called:

"... Jiang Yao, Alchemy Chamber..."

Fang Yu immediately stood behind the steward of the Alchemy Chamber.

As time passed, a large number of disciples stood behind each manager. Fang Yu glanced at them and found that the distribution of these disciples was not random, but based on their Spirit Root. Those who were assigned to the Alchemy Chamber, like him, were mostly those with Wood Spirit Root or Fire Spirit Root.

After everyone had been assigned tasks, the group lined up and walked towards the side hall, where they received their introductory disciple gift packs.

The Storage Bag contained a disciple token, ten Spirit Stone, eight sets of seasonal clothing, two sets of disciple robes, more than ten first-tier basic spirit talismans such as dust-removing talismans, Divine Movement Talisman, sound transmission talismans, and mind-calming talismans, a low-grade magic Law Artifact flying sword, a first-tier flying boat, and a copy of "The Ascension Immortal Ascension Record".

There's quite a lot of stuff here, filling the small Storage Bag to the brim. It has to be said that the Spirit Transformation Sect really has Spirit Stone. Just this introductory gift pack for a menial disciple is enough to make many Rogue Cultivator drool with envy. Not to mention, many Rogue Cultivator might only manage to get a low-grade magic Law Artifact in their entire lives, and some don't even have a flying boat for transportation.

The old saying is indeed true: for some people, the starting point may be the ending point.

After receiving all the necessary equipment, the steward of the Alchemy Chamber led them to the Dharma Transmission Hall.

You have one hour to go in and choose a Cultivation Method.

As soon as the steward finished speaking, everyone rushed into the Dharma Transmission Hall. Fang Yu, taking out three spirit stones, and handing them over, saying, "May I ask your surname, steward? Please accept this small token of my appreciation."

The steward glanced at the three Spirit Stone but didn't take them. Fang Yu quickly took out two more, but the steward still didn't take them.

This person has already found a way to die!

Fang Yu thought to himself, and immediately took out all ten Spirit Stone. Only then did the other party smile, sweeping his sleeve to collect them, and said with a grin:

"My surname is Jin. It's rare to meet someone so sensible. So, what do you want to ask?"
