Chapter 498 - 492: Priceless Treasure
"Greetings, Daoist Master!"
Upon encountering three people clad in Daoist robes who suddenly blocked his path, Ye Zhen felt uneasy but still managed a smile, pressing a single palm together as a greeting and offering a cordial bow—it must be what they call the boldness that comes with skill!
"Young brother, I’ve noticed you have an exceptional aura and demeanor. Despite your young age, your Cultivation has already reached the Fifth Stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm, marking you as a rare and exceptional talent.
Therefore, I have specifically stopped you to invite you to join our Longevity Sect. I believe with your abilities, as long as you join our sect, you can attain the position of a True Person within the sect, and the world will lay before you, boundless!" While speaking, the Daoist in the middle raised his horsetail whisk with a snap, a flash of radiance appearing, subtly exuding a celestial air.
Recruiting for their sect?
This somewhat surprised Ye Zhen, but it also proved that the True Spirit Domain was rife with martial artists and countless factions and sects. Furthermore, a medium-sized martial city like Xining Martial City was a prime location for these groups to recruit key members.
"Thank you for your high praise, Daoist Master, but I regret to say I’ve no intention to join any sect," Ye Zhen said, his extensive experience in the Jianghu informing him that he had to be firm from the start. Any hesitation often led to relentless pestering, which was a nuisance to deal with.
Upon hearing Ye Zhen’s words, the expression of the Fuchen Daoist changed. "No intention to join? May I ask why? Even if one is a disciple of a sect, seeking immortality by joining our sect does not conflict with one’s Cultivation at their own sect. Or perhaps you have already joined some other sect?"
Ye Zhen’s expression suddenly turned icy.
If the previous invitation to join the sect was somewhat reasonable, this last remark was probing for information, an attempt to gauge Ye Zhen’s true capabilities in the Jianghu.
