Under the eager anticipation of the crowd, the elder and disciples from Langya Immortal Sect, who ca to recruit disciples this ti, finally appeared before everyone.
This recruitnt is not limited to Purple Sunset City. It is also taking place in seven or eight other cities simultaneously. Each team is composed of one elder and ten disciples.
The elder assigned to Purple Sunset City is nad Yan Lingcheng, whose cultivation level is at the Golden Immortal level, and he is an elder of Linghua Peak at Langya Immortal Sect.
Langya Immortal Sect has nine peaks: Jiuyun Peak, Tianyi Peak, Linghua Peak, Cangmu Peak, Chixiao Peak, Purple Nether Peak, Jianan Peak, Huashang Peak, and Tianhan Peak.
Among them, Jiuyun Peak is the main peak of Langya Immortal Sect, managed by the Sect Leader, while each of the other peaks has its own Peak Master, all with cultivation levels at the Daluo Golden Immortal Level.
This ti, Yan Lingcheng ca with the team also with his own agenda. He wishes to recruit more disciples for Linghua Peak.
In recent years, the disciples received by Linghua Peak have been diocre, and compared to the other eight peaks, they have fallen behind.
As one of the elders of Linghua Peak, Yan Lingcheng naturally cannot stand idly by while his peak lags behind the others, so this recruitnt of disciples is actually his proactive request.
During his ti in Purple Sunset City, he also took the opportunity to inquire about so news within the city, including the grievances between the Ye, Bai, and Sheng families.
He also knows that the Ye family has a talented individual nad Ye Tingwen. However, the Ye family had always claid that Ye Tingwen’s injuries had not yet healed, leaving Yan Lingcheng with so regret.
But just before he stepped onto the stage, he learned that Ye Tingwen had recovered, which made him sowhat expectant.
Half of the disciples who ca with him this ti are from Linghua Peak. These disciples have decent cultivation levels, are quite good-looking, and wear Langya Immortal Sect’s uniform azure wide-sleeved robes, making them look even more ethereal and inspiring admiration.
Once Yan Lingcheng stood on stage, the originally noisy square suddenly quieted down, and all eyes focused on the stage, waiting for Yan Lingcheng to speak.
"The recruitnt test for Langya Immortal Sect begins now. The first round, aptitude test. Those who wish to beco disciples of Langya Immortal Sect, please form a line and co up one by one to test your aptitude. Those who pass can stand to the side and proceed to the next round of testing; those who do not pass may leave." Yan Lingcheng’s voice, enhanced by immortal power, echoed in everyone’s ears around the square.
Upon hearing his words, the crowd finally stirred. Those aspiring to beco disciples of Langya Immortal Sect hurriedly ford a long line, including Gu Qingqing and the others.
On the temporarily constructed stage, Yan Lingcheng, seeing these people form a long line, also took out the Immortal Artifact used to test aptitude—a disc.
This disc, whose material is unknown, is entirely transparent and adorned with golden runes, which also appear sowhat translucent. The whole disc is exceptionally beautiful, resembling a piece of art. It’s really hard to believe that this thing can test a person’s aptitude.
After Yan Lingcheng was ready, the man at the front of the line stepped forward as required.
"Place your hand on the instrunt and close your eyes." This ti, it was not Yan Lingcheng who spoke, but a disciple standing next to him. Such matters didn’t require an elder of his stature to handle personally.
The man glanced at the instrunt on the table, then followed the disciple’s instructions, placing his hand on the instrunt and closing his eyes.
Under everyone’s gaze, the instrunt suddenly lit up.
Imdiately afterward, a golden beam of light emanated from the instrunt. However, the beam was not very strong. Although the rules of the instrunt were unclear, everyone could guess that the man’s aptitude was probably not very good.
Sure enough, the disciple glanced at it and said indifferently, "Aptitude: Upper grade of Earth Rank, unqualified, you may leave."
Upon hearing the disciple’s words, the man imdiately opened his eyes. When he saw the not-so-strong beam, he was montarily stunned. His mouth moved as if he wanted to defend himself a bit, but realizing these were disciples of Langya Immortal Sect, he could only leave with a gloomy expression.
"This is indeed remarkable. I wonder how this instrunt is made. If given the chance, I would like to borrow it and take a look." Jun Wuben, already quite interested in all this, beca even more curious upon witnessing this scene, feeling sowhat eager.
"It is indeed remarkable to asure a person’s aptitude so easily." Gu Qingqing also nodded, as it was her first ti seeing such an instrunt, and she expressed so interest.
"I wonder how our aptitudes will be. Alas, this lineup is a bit too long, I’m growing impatient." Nan Hua waved a fan, his eyes shining.
These individuals have been called prodigies since childhood, with everyone who knew them saying their aptitude was excellent. Now there’s finally an instrunt that can test their aptitude; whether it’s Gu Qingqing or Nan Hua, they’re both quite eager.
While they were talking, the queue in front was moving quickly. Ten people had already been tested, and their aptitudes were all around the Earth Rank, with none qualified, which made the initially expectant Yan Lingcheng sowhat displeased.
Approximately five to six hundred people participated in today’s test. When it ca to the thirtieth person, finally soone with an aptitude above the Earth Rank appeared.
"Middle grade of Earth Rank, qualified, stand over there; you can proceed to the next round." Finally seeing soone acceptable, the disciple’s expression changed, and he flashed a smile.
The man being tested was about twenty years old. Upon hearing the disciple’s words, a pleased smile imdiately appeared on his face, and he then followed the disciple’s instructions to stand aside.
With such a success, both the disciples of the Langya Immortal Sect and those who ca to participate in the test felt invigorated.
Those behind him were full of expectation for their own talents and didn’t disappoint; four or five more successfully passed. However, their talents were not particularly outstanding, so Yan Lingcheng remained seated and did not co over.
Gu Qingqing and his group were in the middle of the line, so it would take so ti to reach them. However, Ye Tingwen’s position was relatively in the front, approximately around the one-hundredth mark.
After about a quarter of an hour, it was Ye Tingwen’s turn. The testing disciple signaled with his eyes for Ye Tingwen to place his hand on the instrunt. Ye Tingwen took a deep breath, then extended his right hand, gently placing it on the instrunt and closed his eyes.
A golden column of light appeared on the device, just as before, but this ti it was exceptionally intense, even shooting up into the sky.
The previously indifferent disciple showed a flash of surprise in his eyes, and his expression changed.
"Heaven Rank, Mid-grade, passed!" His voice even trembled a bit, indicating he was extrely excited.
Yan Lingcheng, who had been sitting nearby with his eyes closed, imdiately opened his eyes upon hearing this voice. His gaze was instantly drawn to the lingering light column, and his eyes sparkled as he quickly strode over to Ye Tingwen.
"What is your na?" he asked Ye Tingwen excitedly, looking at him as if he were a treasure.
"Junior Ye Tingwen," Ye Tingwen said nervously, cupping his hands in respect towards Yan Lingcheng.
"Good! Very good! Go stand over there." After the initial excitent, Yan Lingcheng cald down, patted Ye Tingwen on the shoulder, and instructed him to stand aside before returning to his seat.
The square beca restless due to Ye Tingwen’s test result. It was the first ti a Heaven Rank aptitude had appeared, and a mid-grade at that. This indicated that Ye Tingwen’s talent was exceptional. If there were no issues in the next two rounds, once he entered the Langya Immortal Sect, he might very well be taken in as a direct disciple by an elder. That would truly be a teoric rise!
The Ye Family was naturally overjoyed upon hearing the news.
However, the Bai Family and Sheng Family, who were already at odds with the Ye Family, looked rather displeased. Although everyone had long known that Ye Tingwen’s talent was strong, they hadn’t expected it to be this strong.
Judging by Yan Lingcheng’s reaction just now, it was clear that Ye Tingwen would definitely be accepted into the Langya Immortal Sect. If he truly beca a direct disciple there, the Bai Family and Sheng Family would not be able to rival the Ye Family.
Although they too had people participating, they all knew that those people’s talents were average and might not be selected. At this mont, both the Bai Family Master and Sheng Family Master were sowhat anxious.
Gu Qingqing and his group were genuinely happy for Ye Tingwen. They also understood the matters concerning the Ye Family, and with Ye Tingwen’s aptitude, being selected into the Langya Immortal Sect was almost assured, thereby securing the Ye Family’s standing.
At the sa ti, Gu Qingqing and his group beca even more curious about their own talents, especially since they had cultivated even faster than Ye Tingwen!
With Ye Tingwen’s brilliance setting a benchmark, the results of those who followed seed less impressive.
However, Yan Lingcheng was not disappointed, as soone with Ye Tingwen’s talent was rare enough—having one was already impressive, so he remained calm.
About half an hour passed before it was finally Gu Qingqing’s group’s turn, with Nan Hua being the first.
Nan Hua was exceptionally handso, not at all inferior to the disciples of the Langya Immortal Sect. With a gentle wave of his fan, he took a position before the instrunt.
Without needing the disciple to prompt him, he placed his hand on the instrunt and closed his eyes, looking extrely relaxed, completely unlike those who were visibly nervous before.
The disciple in charge of the test already thought Nan Hua seed special. Before he could speculate on Nan Hua’s identity, a remarkably strong pillar of light appeared on the instrunt in front of him.
The golden light column shot straight into the sky, stronger than the one from Ye Tingwen before.
The testing disciple had never seen such a strong light column before and was completely stunned.
"How is my aptitude?" Nan Hua, having waited for a while and not hearing the disciple speak, couldn’t help but open his eyes and look at him.
When Nan Hua saw the incredibly dazzling light column before him, the corners of his lips curled slightly, already guessing how strong his aptitude was.
The disciple, awakened by Nan Hua’s voice, was montarily taken aback and spoke with so difficulty, "Immortal Rank, High-grade, qualified!"
