A Reputable and Upright Sect
Fortunately, Yuan Zhiyun had Lock Ring that Lingxian Sect had given her before, so the two of them directly exchanged the communication array patterns on the Lock Ring.
The recruitment conference in the Southern Spirit Domain lasted for a considerable period, twenty days.
During these twenty days, anyone between the ages of three and sixteen who has not yet had their Spirit Root tested can come and undergo the test.
The reason the time frame is set so long is that in the Immortal Cultivation Realm, many cultivators do not necessarily live in the city; many Rogue Cultivator live outside the city.
The area outside the city is vast, with many small villages, inhabited by small Lineage or independent Rogue Cultivator who huddle together for mutual support.
The reason they didn't live in the city was that even in a remote Yuanling City, the cost of living there long-term was too high.
Cultivators and Lineage without stable incomes need to frequently go out to gather materials. For them, the entrance fees to and from the city alone are a considerable expense. Not to mention that if they don't spend Spirit Stone to rent houses with Spiritual Qi, the concentration of Spiritual Qi in the city may not always be higher than in some places in the wild.
Moreover, many affordable and high-quality accommodations in the city had already been snapped up.
Moreover, there are many hidden costs in the city that basically require paying Spirit Stone.
As a result of all these factors, a large number of cultivators were unable to settle in Yuanling City.
Many of these cultivators Rogue Cultivator or even ordinary people, and it would take them quite a while to get here from their residences. These twenty days are for these people to receive the news and then travel.
Because the main purpose of a sect's recruitment is to attract promising young talents, they don't place much importance on background.
The number of children born to Rogue Cultivator and ordinary people outside is far greater than that of high-level cultivators.
Perhaps it's because their path of cultivation is bleak, or perhaps it's because they lack the supervision of sects and large Lineage, who provide the extra time for them to cultivate and, besides earning Spirit Stone to survive, also allow them the leisure to create a person.
Therefore, these Rogue Cultivator and ordinary people living in the Immortal Cultivation Realm are actually the main force of the sect's reserve force.
The eight-member Lingxian Sect team planned to take advantage of the increased population in Yuanling City during this period to recruit new members for their pseudo-base.
However, the summer camp tasks assigned by the sect leader could not be delayed, so the secret realm had to be visited as planned.
However, this plan can be adjusted slightly.
For example, the exploration time for some secret realms could be shortened slightly, while the entry time for others could be delayed within a limited range.
Xuanyuan Haoyue arranged all of this work in her spare time while setting up the fake base.
The entry time for the two instances originally scheduled for the day after tomorrow remains unchanged, but the exit time, which was originally set for the seventh day, has been changed to the sixth day for the instance accessible only to Golden Core cultivators, and the fifth day for the Foundation Establishment instance.
This will give them more time to recruit new members.
When Yuan Jinsheng and his men returned to the puppet base, it had changed drastically and was no longer the same as it had been before they left.
Standing at the foot of the mountain and looking up, they felt as if they had returned to Xiushui City and were standing outside their own mountain gate.
Sensing their return, Mo Yuanjiao and the other three came down to greet them.
"How about it? We did a good job, didn't we?" Mo Yuanjiao.
Behind him, the mountain path was almost identical to the Lingxian Sect Sect's mountain path in Xiushui City. The winding path was lined with blooming peach trees, and the road surface was covered with peach petals, making it truly beautiful.
"How did they do that? How did Ling Hui become so many?" Bai Zhu asked in amazement.
Mo Yuanjiao happily introduced it to her, "This is a replica I made using an array, isn't it beautiful!"
"Nice!"
Even the Sect Bell next to the entrance of the mountain path is made to look very similar.
"It's so lifelike!" Yuan Jinsheng exclaimed.
"The only thing missing is an academy nearby," Ling Hui commented seriously.
"Who made this Sect Bell? It looks so much like the one in our sect!" Gu Yuxiao squatted down in front of the Sect Bell and examined it closely. "It's like coming home! You guys are really amazing!"
Their praise pleased the four people who stayed behind to work on construction, so they took them up the mountain to continue their visit.
Since many facilities within the Lingxian Sect were originally handcrafted by everyone, their appearances are relatively simple and their scale is not very large. Therefore, it is not difficult for those who now possess cultivation to imitate and build them.
Therefore, the four-person team that stayed behind only spent a short day replicating the appearance of the Lingxian Sect Sect's mountain gate and main peak.
Once everything was ready, they began to discuss the specifics of recruiting new members.
first.
"How can we let people know that we also have a sect recruiting, and at the same time let them know that we don't have age or Spirit Root restrictions?" Han Weishu asked. "We can't partner with the sects here to recruit people."
Mo Yuanjiao slammed his hand on the table, beaming, and said, "Hand out flyers!"
"The major sects in the Southern Spirit Domain are recruiting disciples. Wouldn't it be inappropriate for us to send out recruitment flyers at this crucial moment? It feels like we're openly competing with the major sects for talent," Yuan Jinsheng asked with some concern.
"No, that won't happen. Our sect doesn't have much of a reputation here. Our little commotion won't attract much attention. It might only make a small splash in Yuanling City, but it won't bother the big sects in the Southern Spirit Domain. Besides, I asked Sister Yuan Household, and she said that not only are we recruiting now, but many other small sects in the area are doing the same. There are a lot of people in the city right now, and those with good qualifications won't pass up the opportunities offered by the big sects. The big sects don't care if people from small sects end up there, so there's no need to worry about the big sects holding a grudge against us." Xuanyuan Haoyue raised her hand and shook the Lock Ring on her wrist.
"Okay, let's hand out flyers then!"
The next day, Yuan Zhiyun received a stack of flyers from the eight-person team from the Lingxian Sect.
"Handing out flyers?" Yuan Zhiyun flipped through the flyers in front of her.
"Yes, do you have anyone willing to take on this job? We'll pay them," Yuan Jinsheng, who was in charge of delivering the flyers, said to her.
"That's definitely no problem. I'll give the order in a bit." Although the Yuan Household is large and powerful, there are always some members who are not doing well and are struggling financially. Even if there aren't any, the Yuan Household still has many independent Rogue Cultivator under their command.
Manpower is not a problem.
only...
Yuan Zhiyun carefully examined the flyers.
"No cultivation level restrictions are one thing... but there are no age or Spirit Root restrictions either? Are you sure?" She was quite surprised. "You're not using the guise of recruiting sect disciples to do something evil, are you?"
"Uh, of course not. My sect is a prestigious and righteous sect in our area." Yuan Jinsheng hesitated for a moment, then shamelessly repeated what Xuanyuan Haoyue had taught him before he left, "Our sect teaches without discrimination. Even those without Spirit Root can find their place in the world."
