Chapter 1148: Chapter 1148: Disguised as a Servant
Yan State, Yuantian Sect.
As the top-level sect in Yan State, Yuantian Sect has profound heritage, with nurous disciples within the sect, and today happens to be the day when Yuantian Sect recruits servant disciples.
Recruiting servant disciples is not as grand as opening the mountain to take disciples; it doesn’t even require one to have very high qualifications.
As long as one can cultivate and is not too old, one can almost beco a servant of Yuantian Sect.
After all, servant disciples in the sect are those who do miscellaneous tasks, like cleaning, washing clothes, cooking, caring for spirit beasts, cultivating spirit plants, etc.; all require servant disciples.
If a servant disciple shows excellent performance in cultivation, there is also the possibility of being promoted to a regular disciple, but such people are one in a million.
After all, if soone truly had that kind of aptitude, they wouldn’t co to the sect to beco a servant, with never-ending chores and no ti to cultivate.
But being able to join a top-level sect like Yuantian Sect as a servant might an that soday an elder or a regular disciple casually rewards them with an elixir pill or so spirit stones, which would be a great opportunity.
Therefore, even for recruiting servant disciples, the queue stretched three miles out from the mountain gate.
At this mont, Chen Nan was mingling among these people, lining up to beco a servant of Yuantian Sect, once again changing his body shape and appearance.
Having accepted the mission to assassinate Master Xuanming and other big shots’ disciples, the first place Chen Nan thought of was Yuantian Sect, which left a deep impression on him.
Initially, when he just entered the Nine Provinces, he ca to Yuantian Sect, and who would have thought he’d experience a series of events.
Even now, Chen Nan still doesn’t know why Master Xuanming is determined to kill him.
Now returning to Yuantian Sect is like visiting an old place, filled with a mix of emotions.
"It’s been two years already."
Thinking of when he first arrived at Yuantian Sect, Chen Nan couldn’t help but smile slightly.
The difference being, back then he was hunted like a stray dog, but now, he had co to kill!
Moreover, the reason for applying as a servant disciple is that, as a top-level sect, Yuantian Sect has excellent defense, with the entire sect, comprising over a dozen peaks, shrouded within a gigantic Sect Protection Array.
Without an identity token of a Yuantian Sect disciple, one simply cannot enter.
The line soon reached Chen Nan.
Unlike the grand ceremony of accepting disciples to open the mountain, at this ti, there was only one outer elder and a few servant disciples at the mountain gate, all with weak cultivation, below the Fifth Layer of the Foundation Establishnt Realm.
"Na?"
"Chen San."
"Cultivation level?"
"Foundation Establishnt Third Layer."
After all, he ca to apply as a servant disciple, so his cultivation couldn’t be too high. Yet, at the Foundation Establishnt Third Layer, he wouldn’t be looked down upon by the other servant disciples, which was most suitable.
Sure enough, the servant disciple who was recording raised his head when he heard the cultivation level, discovering the person in front seed young and looked dull and honest.
"Alright, from today on, you are a servant disciple of Yuantian Sect. Take this token to the back, and soone will inform you of what to do."
The servant disciple responsible for recording handed a token to Chen Nan, showing a kind smile.
In the back, many of the queuing loose cultivators were looking at Chen Nan with envious eyes, as if becoming a servant disciple of Yuantian Sect was sothing to be proud of.
"Alas."
Chen Nan let out an almost imperceptible sigh; the law of the jungle in the Cultivation World was indeed more severe. So people stood high above, while others were happy just to beco servants.
He moved to the back, where another servant disciple approached with a smile, saying, "Junior Brother, I’ll take you to your living quarters first. After the selection ends, there will be a unified arrangent for you all."
"Alright, sorry to trouble you."
Chen Nan cupped his hands, following the servant disciple into the mountain gate, but they didn’t go up any of the peaks; instead, they arrived at the most remote place of Yuantian Sect.
The concentration of spiritual energy here was far less than at Yuantian Peak, where Chen Nan had been before, and a large area of wooden houses were built together, clearly the residence for servant disciples.
Pushing open the gate of a small yard, the servant disciple led Chen Nan inside, pointing to the rooms within the yard and saying, "Junior Brother, there are four rooms here, each accommodating four people; you can choose freely."
"There will be more servant disciples sent here, and there’ll be a unified arrangent for you all then."
Chen Nan nodded, cupped his hands, and said, "Thank you, Senior Brother."
"Junior Brother, please rest first. From now on, we are of the sa sect; no need for such courtesy," the servant disciple said kindly, patting Chen Nan’s shoulder.
But Chen Nan understood that if he hadn’t displayed cultivation at the Foundation Establishnt Third Layer, these servant disciples probably wouldn’t have given him a second look.
Ultimately, it all boiled down to respect for strength.
Chen Nan had just entered Yuantian Sect, and there were many things he needed to inquire about. Therefore, he didn’t act rashly but instead casually picked a room and sat down to cultivate.
During this period, the golden core within him had grown a bit larger, emitting a gentle golden light, which was several tis stronger than cultivators of the sa realm.
This was the result of massive cultivation resources!
In the waiting process, one after another, the new servant disciples who passed the selection were brought into the courtyard, making up sixteen people in total.
Subsequently, a servant disciple also entered the courtyard, his attitude sowhat aloof with a hint of arrogance, "From now on, you are servant disciples of Yuantian Sect."
"Your courtyard’s team is responsible for going to the Spirit Plant Garden to help. You gain ten contributions per day. The contributions you earn can be exchanged for various cultivation resources within the sect, including ntal thods, magic, etc."
After providing so instructions, the servant disciple left behind sixteen sets of servant disciple attires and then turned to leave.
Chen Nan got to know several servant disciples, after all, he had accepted a long-term mission and might have to work as a servant for an extended ti, so he couldn’t arouse suspicion.
At this mont, a thought suddenly struck him. Since he could disguise himself as a servant to enter Yuantian Sect, could other assassins use the sa thod?
Perhaps among today’s selected servants, there could be other assassins from Yama Hall.
Back when Elder Feng assigned the task to Chen Nan, he ntioned that the task could be shared by multiple people, and he wouldn’t be the only assassin carrying it out.
"If that’s the case, then this is getting interesting," Chen Nan chuckled softly.
Night quickly fell, with the full moon hanging high, surrounded by the sounds of chirping insects.
In the courtyard of the servant disciples, a shadow suddenly darted out, heading straight towards Yuantian Peak within Yuantian Sect.
Yuantian Peak, serving as the sect’s main peak, is where all the ordinary disciples live, along with other elders’ direct and registered disciples.
Other than the sect’s key areas, it’s where each elder resides. Typically, only elders and direct disciples live on these peaks, although so of the elders’ disciples prefer not to live with their masters, which the sect does not enforce.
Chen Nan ca to Yuantian Peak to find an acquaintance and gather so information, making it easier for him to act next.
