Sect Recruitment: I Can See Attribute Entries

Chapter 656: Chapter 657: I’m a Genius

”Senior Uncle Xu, the Xuanqing Heavenly Sect truly deserves its former title as the world’s number one sect. Not only is its foundation deep, but even these tokens are extraordinary—they must be worth a lot, right?”

Cui Hao gently stroked the token in his hand, which bore magnificent spiritual patterns and four grand characters—Xuanqing Heavenly Sect.

The token was full of spiritual energy, and one could even feel that it seemed to contain some kind of technique.

This thing clearly wasn’t cheap.

Chen Baiqing and Cui Hao had only exchanged a few simple words with Li Moze in the main hall. Many matters could only be discussed in private—this kind of scene was probably really just for everyone to recognize Chen Baiqing and Cui Hao’s faces.

Li Moze had given a few instructions, then received the two with the highest treatment.

The Xuanqing Heavenly Sect’s core disciple, Xu Jin, was responsible for guiding them, giving them a simple understanding of the Xuanqing Heavenly Sect, and leading them to the squad’s temporary residence.

After the experience squad assignment was completed, the Xuanqing Heavenly Sect would specially reserve a courtyard as the squad’s temporary base.

If they wanted to, they could live together with their teammates; if not, they could return to their original residence.

This wasn’t mandatory.

Having a temporary base could quickly improve squad atmosphere.

Xu Jin led the way ahead. Hearing this, his gaze naturally turned sideways, seeing Cui Hao happily and continuously polishing the token in his hand, as if what he was looking at wasn’t a token but a huge pile of spirit stones.

This aspect was quite like his master—a complete money fan.

Chu Xingchen wouldn’t spend spirit stones, and he wouldn’t spend silver either. If he could use someone else’s, he wouldn’t use his own.

In all the time they’d known each other, Xu Jin had never seen him take out spirit stones to pay.

Xu Jin was fairly familiar with the two, after all. They had both spent long periods in the sect and weren’t the type to seclude themselves and bitterly cultivate.

Cui Hao especially prided himself on being a people person, and Chen Baiqing had long been by Chu Xingchen’s side.

Xu Jin wasn’t distant either, smiling as he spoke:

”Keeping it in hand is far more valuable than selling it.”

”Oh? This token isn’t worth money?”

Xu Jin remembered something and smiled:

”Naturally it’s worth money. But take this token to a big shop like Wanbao Pavilion, and you’ll get at least a twenty percent discount, right?”

”Oh! So it’s a face token! That makes sense!” Cui Hao’s expression cleared, and he quickly put it away safely.

Chen Baiqing’s expression was calm, not paying much attention to Cui Hao’s somewhat money-fan behavior.

Fifth Junior Brother had been like this for days—Master could tolerate it, so naturally she had nothing to say.

As long as important matters weren’t delayed, it was fine.

Chen Baiqing looked at Xu Jin:

”Senior Uncle Xu, do you know the general details of this mission?”

”I don’t.” Xu Jin answered, then seeing Chen Baiqing’s calm expression, knowing she was a thoughtful person, he added:

”I’ve also read the letter Bai Xuanling sent. We understand your purpose in coming. The Xuanqing Heavenly Sect doesn’t exclude you from participating in decision-making.”

”The experience trial isn’t the Sect Master specifically making you start from the most basic external trial—it’s the Xuanqing Heavenly Sect’s long-standing trial model. Only by experiencing it firsthand can you understand the dangers within, and only then can greater responsibilities be entrusted.”

”I was also a candidate core disciple back then, but I still had to go through trials to be fully confirmed.”

”The Xuanqing Heavenly Sect has many proud people. Leaving no room for gossip, this is the only way.”

Cui Hao was stunned hearing this, glancing at Chen Baiqing—Bai Xuanling sent a letter? Senior Bai was involved in this too?

Judging by Master’s expression before departure, Master seemed unaware.

What kind of extra situation was this?

Chen Baiqing didn’t explain much, simply nodding gently:

”Naturally I understand.”

It was just a minor test. If she couldn’t even pass this test, how could she truly become Master’s right hand?

Xu Jin nodded gently and didn’t pay much attention to Cui Hao’s puzzled expression—after all, he would understand naturally in time.

But according to the news, it should have been Li Xingtian coming.

However, it didn’t really matter who came.

Xu Jin didn’t continue chatting, instead introducing the Xuanqing Heavenly Sect’s layout and general rules as they passed.

Along the way, naturally many people saw Xu Jin, and they received quite a few greetings.

Moving forward, they arrived at a large area of courtyard buildings.

Each courtyard was protected by a barrier. Chen Baiqing recognized the barrier’s function at a glance—blocking sound and divine sense exploration.

Xu Jin led the way, stopping at a courtyard, and turned to look at the two:

”Your teammates are already all inside. I won’t go in with you. First impressions are especially important, and with my different status, they would inevitably be reserved seeing me.”

Chen Baiqing bowed: ”Thank you, Senior Uncle Xu. Bai Qing understands.”

Cui Hao also quickly bowed along.

Xu Jin nodded gently and was about to turn and leave when he stopped, taking out a message token from his space ring and handing it to Chen Baiqing:

”If you really encounter difficult problems that are hard to bring up, use this message token to call me. After all, we’re good friends—I should at least open a back door, lest your master says I don’t look after you two.”

Chen Baiqing didn’t refuse, reaching out to accept it, a slight smile on her face:

”Thank you, Senior Uncle Xu.”

Xu Jin smiled and nodded, then turned and left without hesitation.

Seeing this, Chen Baiqing’s gaze turned to the closed door. She didn’t push it directly, but suddenly spoke:

”Fifth Junior Brother, Master said he wants me to see you in a new light.”

Hearing this, Cui Hao’s spirit suddenly rose, and he nodded seriously:

”Just watch, Third Senior Sister.”

Only after hearing this did Chen Baiqing reach past the barrier and push the door open.

In an elegantly styled courtyard,

three people—two men and one woman—were already sitting on chairs, all wearing Xuanqing Heavenly Sect inner disciple robes, conversing peacefully.

Hearing the door push open, all three turned their gazes over.

Chen Baiqing stepped in, simultaneously taking out the squad leader token Li Moze had given her and displaying it.

Seeing this token, the three all stood up.

A sturdy young man bowed:

”Wang Chuan, Nascent Soul mid-stage cultivation, dual cultivation of technique and body, skilled in close combat, understands medical cultivation methods.”

Another clean-featured young man bowed:

”Li Zhuhua, Nascent Soul late-stage cultivation, sword cultivator, handles intelligence and affairs.”

The only woman’s bow was elegant, her tone also quite capable:

”Lu Lingyi, Nascent Soul mid-stage cultivation, technique cultivator, understands formations, also skilled in interrogation and similar methods.”

Chen Baiqing put away her token and returned the greeting:

”Chen Chubai, Nascent Soul late-stage cultivation, technique cultivator, illusion techniques.”

Hearing the response, the three naturally turned their gazes to Cui Hao.

After all, Cui Hao was so transparent—seemingly only at the Golden Core realm—that was enough to make everyone more curious.

The minimum to join this kind of action squad was Nascent Soul cultivator.

Someone like Cui Hao, who looked at a glance like a Golden Core weakling, might actually be a real big shot playing the pig to eat the tiger.

They couldn’t have brought a real pig to fill numbers, could they?

Cui Hao’s face held a confident smile, his movements extremely elegant, causing the three who didn’t know the truth to take him even more seriously:

”Cui Hao, Golden Core mid-stage cultivation, not particularly skilled in close combat.”

”But I’m a genius.”
