Chapter 786 - 728: Arrangements for the Younger Generation (Part 2)
Chapter 786: Chapter 728: Arrangements for the Younger Generation (Part 2)
Among the older generation, none are cultivating the new system.
The guidance they can provide young disciples is very limited.
Previously, everyone thought to combine the Sword Technique with the new cultivation system.
But now it seems, this step might require many more years of deep research.
After Liu Xilan and Shen Han discussed, they went together to find the other elders.
They also shared this proposal with them.
Keeping these young people here is just a waste of time for them.
After some discussions, the other elders agreed with this suggestion.
Having faced life and death together, now that it’s finally a bit stable, the elders don’t want to hinder the growth of the younger generation.
In the days that followed, Shen Han began to continue unlocking the physical bindings for everyone, as much as possible up to the seventh layer.
With so many people, Shen Han knew he didn’t have the energy to help everyone reach the eighth layer.
However, taking this opportunity, he did promise everyone a further progression in the next two years.
Of course, in the eyes of the young people from Xiaoyao Peak and Yun Mansion, the reason for the wait was probably due to the lack of the precious Pill.
At this opportunity, they were also reminded to keep it a secret.
If the news gets out, no one will have the chance to unlock their physical bindings further.
While helping everyone advance, Shen Han also began discussing this matter with Elder Sizhi.
When Elder Sizhi heard that Shen Han wanted to send his people to Five Immortals City for cultivation, he hesitated for a moment, but then agreed.
He was, after all, an elder, and had the authority to enlist disciples.
But just as his words fell, Shen Han informed him that there were over twenty people...
Upon hearing this number, Elder Sizhi was taken aback.
He paused, but ultimately, didn’t say anything further.
The timing was arranged, and Elder Sizhi came to pick up these young people for Five Immortals City.
Shen Han did not let Elder Sizhi make the trip again, as a round trip would take nearly a month.
Shen Han prepared to bring everyone himself, only he would not reveal his identity openly.
After all, his identity was a bit sensitive, and associating with him could easily attract some crises.
The talents of the young people from Xiaoyao Peak and Yun Mansion had basically all unlocked to the seventh layer, so Shen Han didn’t waste more time and led everyone together to Five Immortals City.
Along the journey, Shen Han did not nag.
Everyone present was insightful and knew what to do and say.
As the eldest disciple sister of Xiaoyao Peak, even now, Liu Xilan still held considerable influence.
It only goes to show that recognition from others is not solely reliant on talent and strength.
Over at Five Immortals City.
In hesitation, Elder Sizhi reported the matter to Sect Leader Nalan Xing.
Actually, entering Five Immortals City is quite easy.
After all, Five Immortals City also has positions for Servant Disciples.
No matter their talent, Five Immortals City accepts them.
But Servant Disciples and ordinary disciples are marginalized positions.
Five Immortals City will not invest resources to train them; they must exchange their hard work for resources.
For the sect to train them, they at least need to be Outer Sect Disciples and above.
Generally speaking, among the Outer Sect Disciples, many cannot acquire resources.
Disciples who have hope of advancing from the Outer Sect to the Inner Sect are usually the ones being paid attention to.
Other Outer Sect members can follow and learn, improve alongside.
But the sect’s attention cannot be expected.
"Elder Sizhi, what are your thoughts?
How do you plan to arrange these twenty-some people?" Nalan Xing asked, actually considering it a small matter; with Five Immortals City’s size, recruiting over twenty disciples is nothing substantial?
If desired, they could be directly enrolled into the sect.
But since Elder Sizhi came to report, he certainly doesn’t want to follow the usual path.
"Sect Leader, I intend to bring these people directly into the Inner Sect and personally instruct them.
Shen Han told me that these young individuals are top geniuses in their realm.
Their cultivation intuition is unmatched by ordinary people.
Moreover, this can be seen as our small compensation to Shen Han, by taking good care of these young people."
Upon Elder Sizhi’s words, Shen Xiang stepped forward.
"Elder Sizhi, this seems somewhat inappropriate?
The treatment between the Outer Sect and Inner Sect is vastly different. Pushing some talentless disciples into the Inner Sect is irresponsible to others and a waste of Five Immortals City resources.
Isn’t Shen Han merely one who practices the Old Cultivation Method? How can anyone ascertain the new system talent among those around him?
Previously, I stated that sheltering Shen Han brought no benefit to the sect.
Now it seems clear; besides offering no advantage, it also brought several unnecessary troubles.
My advice is to proceed as it should.
Those young individuals can come, but everyone should test their talent and potential.
Of those who have unlocked only one or two bindings, what would accessing the Inner Sect be if not a waste of resources?"
Elder Sizhi frowned; strictly speaking, this was against the rules.
Coming to the Sect Leader today, he was naturally seeking some leniency.
Nalan Xing also frowned subconsciously.
"Junior Brother Shen, it seems you hold a lot of resentment towards Shen Han."
"Sect Leader, you misunderstand. I’m simply addressing the matter objectively; there’s no personal bias.
Bringing recommended commoners directly into the Inner Sect, where’s the fairness in that?
How would other disciples judge it?"
Shen Xiang clung to the issue, making Elder Sizhi realize that his request today would unlikely be approved.
"Fine, we’ll proceed by the rules. Let those kids test their potential.
At most, let them become ordinary disciples in Five Immortals City.
If they lack resources, I’ll personally earn them myself, without needing support from the sect!"
"That’s entirely your business, Elder Sizhi. No need to tell us; if you wish to give them all your resources, that’s your freedom."
Shen Xiang’s face wore a faint smile.
He felt some gratification in having the upper hand over Elder Sizhi.
Nalan Xing glanced at Elder Sizhi, feeling some helplessness.
As the Sect Leader, it’s not appropriate to lead the way in breaking the rules.
Granting Inner Sect qualifications isn’t unacceptable, but with Shen Xiang’s words, the matter becomes serious.
In three days, Shen Han and the others should reach Five Immortals City.
During the journey, Shen Han kept in frequent contact with Elder Sizhi.
Elder Sizhi was upfront about the potential for the sect to test talent and potential, offering his assurance.
For any disciples Five Immortals City is unwilling to train, Elder Sizhi vowed to personally step in.
Upon hearing this, Shen Han didn’t protest, agreeing directly.
The young individuals from Yun Mansion and Xiaoyao Peak, at least, had unlocked seven bindings.
Liu Xilan had even unlocked eight; with such potential and talent, if Five Immortals City wants to test, let them test; let them test freely.
Speeding all the way, when they were still a hundred miles from Five Immortals City, Shen Han stopped proceeding with them.
After making arrangements with Elder Sizhi, Shen Han paused there, letting Liu Xilan lead the group forward.
Outside Five Immortals City, Elder Sizhi was already waiting at the city gate.
The elder personally welcoming them was quite an honor.
A distance of a hundred miles naturally didn’t take long.
At the city gate, Liu Xilan immediately saw Elder Sizhi as mentioned by Shen Han.
"Younger Liu Xilan, leading junior brothers and sisters to pay respects to Elder Sizhi."
As they spoke, everyone bowed towards Elder Sizhi.
The strength and aura of those present weren’t strong, at most the 7th Layer of the Binding Realm.
But Elder Sizhi’s impression was positive; the young people present all had a certain poise, with hints of brilliance and distinction.
"Are all the people in your realm this handsome and beautiful?
Shen Han himself is handsome, and those he associates with are unexpectedly similar."
Elder Sizhi smiled, a compliment that immediately eased the group.
"Come, let’s first enter the city with me.
Tomorrow, there will be a process to assess your talent and potential.
But don’t worry, regardless of the outcome, I’ll look after you, so rest assured."
In the city’s inn, Elder Sizhi had already reserved several tables for a banquet.
After rushing the journey with the travel dust, they first ate to recuperate before discussing anything further.
