The Supreme Martial King Shocking All Realms

Chapter 3047: Chapter 3042: Recommending Talents_1

"If we get lucky and actually find another genius capable of entering the Great Luo Celestial Stele, then our Daoist Mountain Gate would have the qualifications to contact the Grand Abyss Palace. At that time, we can achieve the goal of the Daoist Mountain Gate, and the entire sect may even rise to power," Young Master Hong said, his eyes filled with longing.

The Enlightenment Realm Experts also listened with fascination, but their enthusiasm was quickly interrupted by Young Master Hong’s words.

"So, do you understand now?"

Young Master Hong snorted coldly: "This matter involves whether Fairy Murong can enter the Grand Abyss Palace in the future, so Fairy Murong takes it very seriously, and that’s why she made an exception to recruit disciples in large numbers. Otherwise, over thousands of years, would the Daoist Mountain Gate recruit people so frequently? How could I ask my father to make an exception for you? Once we pull strings, it would mean deceiving the Daoist Mountain Gate, and even my father wouldn’t be able to cover it. If you want to join the Daoist Mountain Gate, hmph, show your own strength."

Hearing these words, the faces of the Enlightenment Realm Experts turned bitter.

What Young Master Hong said was simple, but how easy was it to actually meet the requirements? The most basic requirement was to have at least two kinds of Dao Intent.

This alone eliminated them.

Now, Yang Chen had some understanding of the situation. He didn’t expect that his arrival would coincide with such a major event in the Daoist Mountain Gate.

However, things like Fairy Murong Qi and the selection of disciples had nothing to do with him.

What he wanted now was to find a way to learn about the map of Tianyuan Star, and Murong Fairy’s disciple selection provided him with an opportunity to enter the Daoist Mountain Gate.

Throughout the journey, Yang Chen remained silent.

Speaking from time to time, compared to these people who had been constantly flattering Young Master Hong, he had little to say.

Along the way, Yang Chen learned more about Young Master Hong.

Young Master Hong, originally named Xu Hong, was from the Xu Family in Ninghe Ancient City. He was the eldest son of Venerable Yifeng and was famous in Ninghe Ancient City.

Although he also had talent, he fell short compared to the geniuses of the Daoist Mountain Gate and was not a member of the gate.

This indicated to Yang Chen that Young Master Hong had exaggerated his relationship with the Daoist Mountain Gate. His father was likely in a menial position, dispensable on the periphery of the Gate.

However, even so, he was still quite impressive to ordinary people who had not joined the Daoist Mountain Gate.

The strength of the Daoist Mountain Gate was quite formidable, ranking among the top three sects in the Taicang Starfield, situated on the Tianbei Star of the Taicang Starfield. It was the number one sect on the Tianbei Star.

This situation was superior to that of the Southern Realm, where power was dispersed, and there were few forces that could dominate the realm.

In this way, after several double-hours, Yang Chen arrived at the Xu Family under Young Master Hong’s guidance.

Upon entering the Xu Family, the grand scale and countless servants were evident.

When Young Master Hong arrived, a few cultivators quickly came forward to greet him respectfully, addressing him as Young Master with great affection.

Young Master Hong immediately asked, "Where’s my father?"

"Master is in the Heavenly Fragrance Pavilion. It seems that Fourth Young Master wants to see him..." The servants quickly replied.

"What? What does that kid, Fourth Brother, want to do this time?" Hearing the servants’ words, Young Master Hong couldn’t sit still. He immediately disregarded everything else and led Yang Chen and the others towards the Heavenly Fragrance Pavilion.

Yang Chen was puzzled by this and wondered who this Fourth Young Master was. After all, as a guest in the Xu Family, the best way to entertain him was to find a place to entertain him first, then arrange a residence, and discuss other matters later.

It was worth noting that the cultivation level of the Enlightenment Realm should be valued in the Xu Family even if it wasn’t as impressive as Young Master Hong’s.

However, Young Master Hong was in such a hurry that he soon arrived at a loft with falling cherry blossoms.

When he reached the loft, there was a middle-aged man with a fierce-looking face, a mustache in the shape of the character 八, and thick eyebrows.

This middle-aged man exuded an intimidating aura, giving people the feeling that he was not to be trifled with. But at this moment, he was very happy, laughing as if he had encountered something enjoyable.

"Little Fourth, this Daoist friend you introduced is quite good, very excellent. Most likely, he can be selected by the Daoist Mountain Gate. Once he has a place in the Daoist Mountain Gate, I will definitely reward you. Keep up the good work, hahaha!" The dignified middle-aged man laughed loudly.

A handsome young man next to him immediately laughed and said, "Dad, look at what you’re saying. I’m your son; it’s only natural for me to help you. Lin Qi, haven’t you thanked my father for giving you this opportunity to join the Daoist Mountain Gate yet?"

As a solemn black-robed middle-aged man, Lin Qi’s cultivation had obviously reached the Enlightenment Realm. He smiled and said, "Thank you, Senior Yifeng, for this opportunity. And thank you, Fourth Young Master, for recognizing me."

"Hahaha, gold will always shine," Fourth Young Master patted Lin Qi’s shoulder, but soon, his eyebrows raised, and he said with a seemingly smiling but hostile face, "Isn’t this my Eldest Brother? How come you’re here too?"

"Hong’er? How come you’re here too?" Venerable Yifeng stood with his hands behind his back, looking at Young Master Hong’s arrival with a slightly displeased expression.

Young Master Hong could see Venerable Yifeng’s dissatisfaction and gritted his teeth in anger. He glared at Fourth Young Master Xu Fei and said, "Father, I see you’re in urgent need of talents for the Daoist Mountain Gate. I just happened to come across one outside and brought him to serve under your command. Let me introduce him to you!"

Venerable Yifeng did not share the same joy for the Fourth Young Master; instead, his expression became even more serious: "Hong’er, your father is very busy these days. Don’t come here to cause trouble. Which talent are you talking about? The ones beside you? Hmph, sending them to the Daoist Mountain Gate, your father might just end up being kicked out by the people of the Daoist Mountain Gate."

Yang Chen observed Venerable Yifeng’s angry expression and was able to discern some clues.

The Daoist Mountain Gate was in urgent need of talents. It seemed that people on the periphery, like Venerable Yifeng, were also given many rewards. If someone like Venerable Yifeng could discover enough talented cultivators and send them to the Daoist Mountain Gate, the gate would be happy to give out rich rewards once they succeeded.

It seemed that the Fourth Young Master had just recommended Lin Qi, who met Venerable Yifeng’s satisfaction and was most likely a sure bet to join the Daoist Mountain Gate. As a result, Venerable Yifeng stood to gain a lot.

There must have been some conflict between Young Master Hong and Lin Qi, or else he wouldn’t have been so impatient.

However, in Venerable Yifeng’s view, Young Master Hong wasn’t as reliable, and his attitude toward the cultivator introductions was completely different, taking on a whole new stance.
