A Sect from a Spirit Vein

Chapter 353: Chapter 313: Tao Brothers

A few loose cultivators were full of admiration.

The Dragon Gate Assembly, for these Qi Cultivation loose cultivators, if they could enter the Yunshan Sect, wouldn’t it be just like an ordinary carp leaping through the Dragon Gate, soaring into the sky thereafter? Truly a fitting name.

Another loose cultivator interjected, ”The Yunshan Sect’s eagerness for talent is indeed rare. But if they accept too many, I wonder what the treatment and cultivation environment will be like...”

His concerns were immediately interrupted. Someone, with a smug expression, pretended to lower his voice but actually spoke loudly, ”You wouldn’t know this, but my brother’s Dao companion personally told me one evening that her younger brother was recruited into the Yunshan Sect as an outer disciple two years ago because of his talent in talisman making.”

”Tsk tsk, the conditions are like a dream. Even as an outer disciple, everything is provided, and they receive thirty spirit stones a month!” His words made the eyes of some desolate cultivators widen with amazement. ”Moreover, they can undertake sect tasks, and the merit points from completing these tasks can be exchanged for many good things not available in the market.”

”They also have spiritual veins for cultivation. In Shuangye Alliance, all the outer disciples and new disciples live on Golden Dawn Peak. Do you know Golden Dawn Peak? It used to be the mountain gate of the Spirit Talisman Sect, a second-level high-tier spirit vein! Tsk tsk, you don’t even get to enjoy a first-level spirit vein.”

Seeing his saliva flying everywhere, it seemed like he himself had been admitted to the Yunshan Sect.

”And that’s not all. For their outer disciples, even if they joined midway, as long as they pass the assessments and undergo ideological training, they will truly be nurtured wholeheartedly, learning real mystic sect divine skills and rare and exquisite wondrous methods.” He grinned, revealing half a front tooth, ”Look, this guy joined the Yunshan Sect two years ago and has already gained skills. He called me in the middle of the night the other day. If it weren’t for his sister stopping him, even my half-tooth wouldn’t be left...”

No one was interested in his half tooth, only urging him to share more about the Yunshan Sect.

The half tooth, seeing himself become the center of attention, was very excited and spilled everything he knew.

”There are over three hundred cultivators in the Yunshan Sect, with about five to six hundred in the entire Shuangye Alliance. With so many strong individuals, they can firmly hold the northeast of Chongming County...” He said a few words, seeing that this well-known information didn’t pique much interest, he racked his brains, and suddenly his eyes lit up.

”Oh right, for this Dragon Gate Assembly, the Yunshan Sect is no longer as focused on talents in planting, breeding, and talisman making. Can you guess which kind of expert will top the recruitment list when it opens tomorrow?”

The crowd didn’t want to hear him keep them in suspense and urged repeatedly, so the half tooth elongated his voice and said, ”When the board opens tomorrow, it will be clear that the top position will definitely belong to an artifact refining talent!”

Suddenly, a deep voice interrupted, ”Fellow Daoist, are you sure about what you said?”

”Of course, my brother’s Dao companion personally told me...” The half-tooth turned his head, startled, and couldn’t continue.

He saw a muscular bald man with bronzed skin full of scars staring at him. He was a late-stage Qi cultivation cultivator, and even close to Qi cultivation perfection!

The half tooth felt a wave of pressure and didn’t dare to show off further. Tao Zhongxian, anxious, asked, ”Fellow Daoist, do you know how strong the Yunshan Sect is?”

As soon as he said this, the guests at the nearby tables became silent, looking at the two as if they were curious creatures, causing Tao Zhongxian to shrink his neck.

The hulking man frowned, ”My brother and I live in seclusion and haven’t moved around for years, so we don’t know. Could you please tell us a bit?”

The half tooth perked up, slapped his forehead, placed one foot on the bench, glowing with enthusiasm, and said loudly, ”No wonder, no wonder. The honorable brothers live in seclusion, so they haven’t heard of or seen the Yunshan Sect that doesn’t take orders!

He clapped his hands, made a fist towards the northeast, and said in a recitative tone, ”In the past, Sect Leader Lu Qiantian of the Yunshan Sect was a generously talented figure, emerging surprisingly, leading the Shuangye Alliance to hold the south of Chongming County and building the remarkable Shuangye Square.”

”Later, when a major invasion of Sanshan County occurred, even the Golden Core was aware of Sect Leader Lu’s prowess. The first step was to raid and destroy the Yunshan Sect’s Bichao Mountain, after which the northern border of Chongming County completely fell.”

”How remarkable Sect Leader Lu is! With the destruction of his mountain gate, he was unfazed, furious, and raised an army overnight, recovering lost territory and capturing Golden Dawn Peak and Lingsha City, array-slashing over a thousand enemy troops, and ten Foundation Establishments!”

”From then on, he held the northeast, and Sanshan County dared not look south, being forced to sign a treaty!”

At this point, the half tooth sorrowfully said, ”It’s a pity that his achievements overshadowed his lord. Sect Leader Lu’s strategic prowess is unmatched in the world, leading to the Upper Sect Xuanguang Sect’s suspicion and harm!”

His companions were urgently tugging at his sleeve, ”Hey, hey, we dare not speak much of Golden Core Major Sect affairs...”

”What are you afraid of! We’re in Shuangye Square now! This is the territory of the Mingyu Sword Sect.” With wine courage inflamed, the half-tooth feared nothing, ”Sect Leader Lu is so talented and was wronged, I must express my grievance for him, and speak justly!”

At this point, the crowd watching applauded loudly, and the half-tooth became more excited and continued.

”Originally, Sect Leader Lu prioritized loyalty and repeatedly gave ground, but with Xuanguang Sect’s constant pressure, the disciples suffered great losses. Elders advised by risking their lives, and he sighed deeply, finally raising the flag of resistance!”

”On a full moon night, at the peak of Lingsha, Xuanguang Sect launched a full-scale assault, intending to commit atrocities. At this moment, Master Cangfeng of Mingyu Sword Sect descended like a divine weapon. Having heard of Sect Leader Lu’s renown and admired him, he had thrice visited Lingsha City, only to be refused by Sect Leader Lu.”

”Now, with Sect Leader Lu expelled by Xuanguang Sect, Master Cangfeng courted him formally at the front line, and Sect Leader Lu was finally moved by his sincerity.”

Tao Zhongxian was deeply captivated by his story, just about to clap and cheer when the half tooth waved a hand, stopping his action.

Then half teeth lowered his voice, saying solemnly, ”Sect Leader Lu said, ’For Zhenren to have me join under his command is not difficult, but he must agree to one condition.’

’For twelve years, I shall not take orders. After twelve years, I shall take orders but not obey without question!’”

Upon hearing this, the onlookers cheered uproariously, and applause surged.

The half tooth held his head high, beaming, ”Since then, the two have worked harmoniously, combining their forces, which led to the current thriving state of Shuangye Alliance and Shuangye Square.”

”Tell me, if even a Golden Core Master allows such an arrangement, what does it say about the Yunshan Sect’s strength?”

Tao Zhongxian was thoroughly impressed, a sense of respect swelling, and he hurried to pull the hulking man, ”Big Brother, our path lies within the Yunshan Sect! With your artifact refining skills, the Yunshan Sect will surely treat you as an honored guest!”

The hulking man was also very moved at heart. He understood there must be many inaccuracies in the rumors, but seeing everyone’s reaction, the phrase ”take orders but not obey without question” should certainly be true. The Yunshan Sect must possess considerable strength, at least first-class among the Foundation Establishment sects.

He bowed to the half tooth, ”Thank you, Fellow Daoist, for clearing up the doubts. But could you tell us where to go for this Dragon Gate Assembly?”

The shopkeeper had already been standing nearby, taking in the scene. He beckoned a waiter over and quietly instructed, ”Quickly report to Lord Lin Le, we have identified several potential talents. A muscular, scarred bald man, suspected to be an artifact refining expert. A half tooth, eloquent, suited for the propaganda group.”

Just then, eight people from Baose Manor stood up, surrounding the hulking man and Tao Zhongxian, ”Tao Boliang, Tao Zhongxian, do you think you can escape death by joining the Yunshan Sect? Dream on!”
