Of course, challenging a High Grade Puppet of the first tier was such an exciting thing.
Some Loose Cultivators once again couldn't control their hands.
Letting the Spirit Stones in their Storage Pouches fly out.
As for their outcome, one could only say they weren't worthy of sympathy.
Soon, the Disciple Recruitment Assembly, after three months, completely concluded.
One hundred thousand Immortal Seeds participated.
Thirty thousand Immortal Seeds remained.
Among these thirty thousand people, eighteen thousand became Utility Disciples.
The remaining twelve thousand became Outer Sect Disciples.
Their difference wasn't significant; the only distinction was whether their minds were agile or not.
Just as everyone thought this Disciple Recruitment by the Six Major Sects had ended and they should go about their business,
Those who ran shops continued to do so.
Those who couldn't control their hands went wherever they were meant to go.
Either they were sold into mining.
Or they went fishing in the sea.
However, at this moment,
The Six Major Sects announced that there would be other grand events later.
Currently, Xingluo Market had gathered Cultivators from all directions.
How could the Six Major Sects easily let go of this opportunity?
They would fully display their Sect's grand demeanor by promoting themselves more.
And incidentally, earn more Spirit Stones.
It would be even better if some Loose Cultivators could be convinced to settle in Xingluo Market.
Compared to Heavenly Fortune City, which had developed for several hundred years,
Xingluo Market was usually a bit deserted.
It only became lively now, taking advantage of the Six Major Sects opening their mountains for recruitment.
They had to seize this opportunity.
A profound voice of a middle-aged man now came from Green Bamboo Sword Sect Peak.
"Everyone, my Green Bamboo Sword Sect has set up a combat stage and sincerely invites Fellow Daoists from all paths to discuss the Dao of the sword. We hope Fellow Daoists will come and show your support! Our Sect's Disciples will also send young talents to the stage to compete and showcase the exquisite sword Dao of our Sect."
As soon as the voice from Green Bamboo Sword Sect Peak ended, a slightly rough and bold voice rang out from Crimson Cloud Sect Peak.
"My Crimson Cloud Sect will open its Seven Stars Mountain Gate to showcase our Artifact Refining techniques and host an Artifact Refining competition, sincerely inviting Artifact Refiners from all sides to participate! Those who rank high will not only receive numerous cultivation resources but also become an Outer Gate Guest Elder of our Sect!"
Then, a clear and hearty voice spread from Beast Controlling Sect Peak.
"My Beast Controlling Sect is opening a Spirit Beast market and hosting a Spirit Beast competition, evaluating them based on strength, appearance, personality, and other aspects. Those who rank high will also receive prizes."
Next, from String Sound Pavilion Peak, came a tinkling, bell-like, gentle female voice.
"String Sound Pavilion invites Fellow Daoists from all sides to discuss music. Fellow Daoists with refined taste are welcome to come and appreciate."
Divine Talisman Sect's Core Formation True Person was an old man.
"Divine Talisman Sect is holding a Talisman Master competition to compete with Fellow Daoists from all methods. The winner will be granted a Guest Elder token for our Sect's Divine Talisman Pavilion, allowing them to purchase Talismans at half price at any Divine Talisman Pavilion."
Elixir Cauldron Sect's Core Formation True Person, like Divine Talisman Pavilion, was also an old man.
"Elixir Cauldron Sect is also holding an Alchemist competition to discuss Alchemy techniques with Fellow Daoists from all sides. Those who rank high will not only receive a Pill Formula as a gift but also a High Grade Spiritual Artifact Pill Furnace. From now on, our Danding Pavilion will regard such Fellow Daoists as honored guests."
Voice after voice rang out,
Leaving all the Loose Cultivators in the market stunned.
They never expected that the Disciple Recruitment Assembly of the Six Major Sects was just an appetizer!
The real excitement was yet to come!
Su Bai also showed a hint of interest when she heard this.
She wanted to see the Artifact Refining competition of the Crimson Cloud Sect, the Talisman Master competition of the Divine Talisman Pavilion, and the Alchemy competition of the Elixir Cauldron Sect.
Although her skills in these three areas were already at the Medium Grade Second Tier level,
In Xingluo Market, she was considered to be at the pinnacle.
But watching the competitions of Fellow Daoists could also help her learn from others' strengths and compensate for her own weaknesses.
Just as Su Bai was thinking this,
A burly man, clutching a Storage Pouch and wearing a tattered, patched Magical Artifact robe, ran into the distance, laughing loudly.
"Hahahahaha, it's an opportunity to get rich, it's an opportunity to get rich!"
"This one knew there was no end to the heavens!"
"With so many competitions, there must be many betting markets!"
"As long as a dark horse appears, this one will live!"
Su Bai couldn't help but feel that the voice of the man who ran past was somewhat familiar.
And after that man ran past,
A somewhat thin young Cultivator chased after him.
The other party was shouting hoarsely,
"You stop right there!"
"Give me back my Storage Pouch, Magical Artifacts, and Spirit Stones!"
"I'm not gambling anymore! You don't have to return those ten Low-Grade Spirit Stones! Just give me back my Storage Pouch!"
His voice was heartbreaking.
Those who saw him shed tears, and those who heard him felt sorrow.
Moreover, he wasn't wearing a Magical Artifact robe, only ordinary clothes.
It seemed his Magical Artifact robe had been stolen.
And as these two ran into the distance,
Three people came flying on swords in the sky.
Looking at the character "Patrol" on the front of their Magical Artifact robes,
They were from the enforcement team.
It seemed they were specifically trying to catch the two Cultivators who had just run away.
"..."
Seeing this scene,
Su Bai turned and walked into her Danfu Pavilion.
Out of sight, out of mind.
Just after the Six Major Sects each announced the grand events they were about to hold,
Xu Changge rushed over in a hurry.
As soon as she stepped through the door of the Danfu Pavilion,
Xu Changge came before Su Bai.
"Xiaobai, you should participate in the Elixir Cauldron Sect's Alchemist exchange competition."
"?"
Su Bai looked bewildered.
She didn't know what was going on.
After Xu Changge slowly let out a breath,
"I will break through to Late-Stage Foundation Establishment in a few years."
Su Bai knew this; she nodded and then looked at Xu Changge.
"And then what?"
Seeing Su Bai's indifferent expression,
Xu Changge continued:
"After I become Late-Stage Foundation Establishment, I will be a Guest Elder of the Green Bamboo Sword Sect."
"My Master has already entered the inner gate. In the future, if I form a Core, her former Outer Sect Elder position will be given to me."
"Now, you go participate in the Alchemist competition and gain the recognition of the Elixir Cauldron Sect."
"I can talk to Master and have you also become a Guest Elder of the Green Bamboo Sword Sect as an Alchemist."
"In the future, when Elder Wang leaves, we can live together on that Green Bamboo Sword Sect Peak."
Elder Wang was Xu Changge's Master's good friend, and also the Core Formation True Person currently residing on Green Bamboo Sword Sect Peak.
"..."
Xu Changge actually wanted to pull her to the Green Bamboo Sword Sect.
Su Bai remembered that she had mentioned this to her before.
It was just that Su Bai didn't have that idea.
She was currently living a life of leisure, very free.
Going to a Sect would mean being constrained.
Moreover, she could only be a Guest Elder, with very little say.
Xu Changge grabbed Su Bai's hand, ready to leave.
Su Bai scratched her head, feeling a bit troubled.
Feeling the resistance on her hand,
Xu Changge looked at Su Bai's expression, knowing that Su Bai was somewhat unwilling.
She took a deep breath,
And slowly exhaled.
"The resources within the Sect are much richer than you imagine!"
"I once obtained a section of a Third-Tier Spirit Wood, Azure Cloud Thunder Bamboo, for you."
"If you join the Sect as an Alchemist, you will have the opportunity to apply to guard the Sect's medicine garden!"
"There are Third-Tier Spirit Medicine there!"
"As long as I prove your identity is clear, this process won't take too long. In the future, if you want to form a Core, Third-Tier Spirit Medicine are indispensable!"
Third-Tier Spirit Medicine!
Su Bai's eyes lit up.
All the sweet words couldn't compare to benefits.
Clearly, Su Bai was tempted.
Seeing Su Bai's moved expression,
Xu Changge's lips also curved slightly.
