Chapter 85: Talisman
When Mini Frostcloud Sect was first established, there was no fanfare in organizing any entrance examination to enter the sect, but Sun Zhong’s ‘recruitment drive’ was made as per the sect leader’s instructions, and he deliberately made inquiries about the conduct of these people. Therefore, although he could not say for sure the comprehension level, their mental aptitude was considered qualified for the time being and they were all officially accepted by Mini Frostcloud Sect.
Sun Zhong had been away for a few months. After he returned to the mountain, the changes were overwhelming.
A large area of the mountain behind the Daoist temple was razed, and Wu Zhongchun led the villagers of Jujube Village to build about a hundred houses. At the same time, the temple also created halls for refining talismans, a dojo, a meditation room, and other places of practice, and this place gradually took the shape of a proper sect.
Sun Zhong split up the disciples and put them in dormitories, mostly in a room of four, but Song Xiaobao was too young, so he arranged for the other party to live with Gui Sheng.
Some of the other disciples were from poor families. When they looked at the room in front of them, not luxurious but clean and tidy, thinking that they could be rid of the fear of hunger in the future, and secretly vowed in their hearts that they must practice hard and strive to stay on the immortal mountain.
The disciples spent two days settling down on the mountain. On the third day, Sun Zhong led them to meet the sect leader.
Although the sky was still dark, they were used to getting up early on the way back to the mountain with Sun Zhong. Even the petulant Song Xiaobao obediently allowed Widow Jiang to help him freshen up and held Gui Sheng's hand to the dojo.
In just two days, he had forgotten all about the pretty little Jiejie and only liked little Gui Sheng-gege now.
Everyone stood in line, looking at the sect leader with eyes full of enthusiasm, expectation, confusion, or humility.
