Chapter 718: Recruitment Day!
"Well? Feeling tempted, are you not?"
The chubby youth shook his head and said, "Unfortunately, I advise you to give up on that idea. There are too many people participating in this Recruitment Convention, including quite a few famous figures. To stand out from such a crowd and become an elite disciple is..."
Although he did not finish, Li Yun and the others understood his meaning.
Zhu Heng’s thoughts stirred, and he said, "By the way, brother, after hearing you say so much, we still do not know your name."
"Just call me Fatty Chu."
The chubby youth said casually. "What about you guys? What are your names?"
"Li Yun."
Li Yun answered first.
Immediately after, Zhu Heng and the others also introduced themselves.
"Fatty Chu, after not seeing you for a few months, you have really gone downhill. You are actually hanging out with a bunch of 7th level Heavenly Core Realm trash?"
Just then, a mocking voice suddenly rang out.
A handsome youth in purple robes strode over and glanced at Li Yun and the others.
"Wait. 1st level Heavenly Core Realm? There is actually a 1st level Heavenly Core Realm piece of trash too?"
He was momentarily stunned, then burst into laughter.
"Fatty Chu, are you trying to find some sense of superiority from this pile of garbage? I must say, that is quite an idea."
"Who I make friends with is none of your business."
Fatty Chu glanced sidelong at the purple-robed youth and said indifferently, "What do you think you are, daring to speak to me like that? Believe it or not, I will slap you flying with one palm."
As his words fell, an imposing aura suddenly erupted from Fatty Chu’s body.
He was actually an expert at the perfection stage of the 9th level of Heavenly Core Realm.
"You!"
The purple-robed youth’s expression froze, and a trace of resentment flashed in his eyes. He sneered, "Fatty Chu, do not get too arrogant. Wait until my second brother arrives, and see how he deals with you."
After saying this, the purple-robed youth snorted coldly and left without another word.
"A dog relying on its master’s power."
Fatty Chu glanced at the purple-robed youth’s departing back, then smiled at Li Yun and the others. "I ran into an old rival. Do not mind it."
"It is fine."
Zhu Heng shook his head, but inwardly, he was horrified.
Before this, Fatty Chu had only displayed cultivation at the 3rd level of Heavenly Core Realm. Zhu Heng had not paid much attention to it, but he never expected this guy’s true strength to actually be at the perfection stage of the 9th level of Heavenly Core Realm.
Although quite a few among the crowd here had reached the perfection stage of the 9th level of Heavenly Core Realm, the fact that someone who casually struck up a conversation possessed such strength still made Zhu Heng and the others feel rather strange.
"By the way, let me give you a warning."
Fatty Chu said indifferently, "Although that guy from just now is not much in terms of strength, he is extremely narrow-minded. Seeing you with me, he might cause trouble for you."
"That guy is the fifth prince of the Black Wyrm Dynasty, Di Qiu. He himself is nothing, but his second brother, Di Long, is someone to watch out for."
"Di Long is only twenty-five years old, but he has already reached the perfection stage of the 9th level of Heavenly Core Realm. Moreover, he once fought against a Spirit Manifestation Realm expert without being defeated. In this Recruitment Convention, he is someone with hope of entering the top ten."
"Fortunately, the Black Wyrm Dynasty is only a second-rate power, and even among second-rate powers, its strength is considered average. You do not need to worry too much."
After revealing his true strength, Fatty Chu seemed to lose interest in talking. After exchanging a few more words with Li Yun and the others, he directly left.
Left behind, Zhu Heng and the others exchanged bitter smiles.
A second-rate power?
Fatty Chu had said it so casually, but for them, a second-rate power was already an existence they could only look up to.
"When soldiers come, we will use a general to block them. When water comes, we will use earth to cover it. After all, this is the territory of the Profound Origin Immortal Sect. They would not dare act recklessly."
Seeing the expressions on Zhu Heng and the others’ faces, Li Yun shook his head and said calmly, "Rather than worrying about these things, it is better to properly adjust our states and strive to achieve good results in the Recruitment Convention."
"That is right."
Hearing Li Yun’s words, Zhu Heng and the others immediately came back to their senses.
This was, after all, the territory of the Profound Origin Immortal Sect. Not to mention a second-rate power like the Black Wyrm Dynasty, even those from first-rate powers would not dare act too unruly here.
They really did not need to worry too much.
Immediately, the group found an empty spot, set up tents, and began adjusting their own states.
It had to be said that the spiritual qi of Profound Origin Immortal Mountain was indeed extremely abundant.
Just cultivating here for half a month allowed Li Yun to test his cultivation at the 1st level of Heavenly Core Realm and even make slight progress.
If he were still in the Azure Void Region, he would have needed at least two months, or possibly even longer.
The benefits of Three Souls also manifested.
While cultivating, he could simultaneously study Five Elements Supreme Divine Art. He could feel it wouldn’t be long before he could finally comprehend the Five Element Intent.
The number of precious swords he could simultaneously control had already reached one thousand two hundred. Unfortunately, he currently only had one thousand swords on hand.
Just like that, a day passed in the blink of an eye.
It was worth mentioning that, the day before the Recruitment Convention began, Li Yun actually saw Qin Yuehan again.
Accompanying Qin Yuehan were two cultivators at the 8th level of Heavenly Core Realm.
As for the other person, he was nowhere to be seen. Most likely, that person had perished along the way.
Whether it was Li Yun’s group or Qin Yuehan’s group, both sides were extremely surprised to see each other. However, being within the Profound Origin Immortal Sect, no one would be foolish enough to cause trouble at such a time.
Finally, the day of the Profound Origin Immortal Sect’s Recruitment Convention arrived.
