Chapter 47: Chapter 47 Beginner’s Job Fair
“Eh, you’re engaged? When did this happen?” Zhang Yurou was clearly taken aback for a mont before she asked.
“In the past few days, it was a decision made by my clan. Because he joined the sect ahead of ti, they simply let
join in advance too.” Xiang Feifei replied.
Zhang Yurou tacitly sized up Wang Zijia, a trace of puzzlent in her eyes.
After all, from Xiang Feifei’s words, it was apparent that Wang Zijia was not ordinary; he had even caused Xiang Feifei to forsake her chance of potentially entering a top-ranking School. Although this chance was relatively small.
“Hello, which family are you from?” Zhang Yurou asked.
Her language was straightforward, with a dash of eccentricity.
With a smile, Wang Zijia replied, “Now, I should be considered part of the Xiang family, I guess!”
“You’re renouncing your own clan? You’re really giving face to Feifei!” With a smile, Zhang Yurou said, “That won’t do! Unless you marry my family’s Feifei, then you can be considered part of the Xiang family.”
Wang Zijia chuckled and didn’t explain much, and Xiang Feifei didn’t elaborate either.
“Why are you here? I didn’t hear about you joining the sect today,” Xiang Feifei changed the topic.
“Hey, I’m not like you, I’m not a genius. I had to join the Outer Sect through the Back Door, so any day would have been the sa for . Moreover, these past few days, there have been demon incidents in our mortal world. My uncles and aunts were all busy outside, so I simply joined the sect,” she replied.
“Right, I heard that there has been a great stir in the mortal world of your Zhang and Lin families these days?”
“Yes, they say a demon steals children, and they never found where it ca from. It has beco even more haughty.”
“Our clan sent people to investigate and discovered that it has been going on for several years, but it was pretty sporadic before. So, our two families decided to conduct a large-scale hunt.”
“······”
Listening to the two won chatting off and on, Wang Zijia kept quiet. However, a few people gradually joined and engaged in their group chat.
Most of them were won though, and Wang Zijia couldn’t get a word in. He just silently stood beside Xiang Feifei, providing his support.
The dynamic made the chatterbox group of girls occasionally glance at him without a trace.
During their conversation, more disciples were brought over.
People who arrived at this ti all had ‘luxury car’ pickups, a part of their group, and the most special of all.
After they had waited for about half an hour passed and the sun had just risen, the leaders above suddenly ended their conversation.
“Cough···cough···”
A person in charge ca to the front of the high platform, issued a soft sound, and the fluctuation in mana allowed everyone to hear clearly, and subsequently quieted down.
“First of all, congratulations to you all, after over a decade of tempering, you today have finally been promoted to the Outer Sect······”
The person leading the session was a charming middle-aged woman with a soft voice. After saying so common clichés as an introduction, she concluded. Luckily, unlike the school leaders in his previous life, she did not give a long speech.
“Well, without further ado, wasting your ti, let’s begin the Dao Vein selection.”
After giving just a brief introduction, she stepped back. Imdiately, on the high platform, nurous managers all glanced in one direction.
In one area of the platform, there were three managers who stood apart from the others, forming a small group. At a glance, it was clear they represented the largest School among the Dao Veins present today.
The three looked at each other and finally all set their sights on an old man with white hair.
“Well, I’ll take the liberty of speaking first because of my age!” With a smile, the old man ca to the forefront of the platform and said, “I am Yan Hongyun, at the peak of the Child Stage, belong to the Pill Institute, and am in charge of recruiting disciples for the Hundred Refining Vein.”
“Greetings, senior brother!” The crowd responded in unison.
Yan Hongyun paused slightly, and while the crowd quieted down, he waved his hand. Behind the high platform, a large projection appeared. Like a stage screen, the projection started showing a building complex and gave an introduction to it.
Clearly, this was the so-called introduction material to the Hundred Refining Vein, similar to a company culture introduction?
“This ti, our vein needs to recruit three disciples, and the welfare includes a free application for any of the three techniques in Alchemy for beginners. In addition, for certain reasons, the higher-ups want to cultivate new brilliant disciples, hence they have given the quota for applying for Rune Gradual Advancent Technique.”
“Of course, this is not to say that all three selected will have this opportunity, it depends on the assessnts later. Disciples who are interested in the vein, you may step forward.”
“Hmm? The Rune Gradual Advancent Technique? Is the Hundred Refining Vein putting down a huge sum this ti?”
“Next year is the decennial Grand Selection, isn’t it better to save resources and compete for talents then, instead of offering these quotas now?”
“…”
As Yan Hongyun spoke, the multitude of disciples beca excited. Even on the high platform, a few of the managers showed confusion and whispered to each other.
Wang Zijia was curious but had no idea what the Rune Gradual Advancent Technique was. At this mont, Xiang Feifei’s voice gently rose at his ear.
“To make a cultivation breakthrough during the Child Stage, apart from Dao cultivation, one needs to imrse with runes into the Dantian for mana refinent, but this isn’t a must. Initially one rune, two to three at the Middle Stage, and a total of three to five runes can be used.”
“However, it can only happen during breakthroughs, not at other tis. And only Great Achievent Techniques can condense runes. This is how difficult it is, especially in the Initial Stage of Childhood. Those who can achieve rune condensation are undoubtedly geniuses.”
“So most disciples do not imrse with runes during their breakthrough from the Initial to Middle Stage. They just have a plain breakthrough. From the Middle Stage to the later stages, there may be a slight possibility. The Rune Gradual Advancent is a special auxiliary technique.”
“With the help of this technique, as long as other techniques have been mastered, they can forcibly condense incomplete runes. During the breakthrough, they will imrse into the Dantian for mana refinent and rune nourishnt, and they can gradually fill in the gaps, bit by bit.”
“For us children, this is considered a top-grade resource. Also, the large-scale Dao veins rarely release these quotas when selecting candidates.”
Upon hearing this, Wang Zijia nodded, understanding.
Indeed, if he hadn’t had the Balanced Scale, his breakthrough would probably have been a plain one too.
Otherwise, he would have to be stuck there for more than ten years, slowly grinding away.
While Xiang Feifei was explaining, Wang Zijia noticed that a large number of disciples from the two groups below were willing to enter the Hundred Refining Vein.
‘Three quotas and thousands of people competing for them, what kind of sick competition is this? Good thing I didn’t sign up!’
Wang Zijia looked at the scenes unfolding and felt slightly overwrought. This situation was even more intense than the civil service examination in his previous life!
Seeing this, Yan Hongyun smiled, flipping over the order symbol in his hand and quickly checked the general information on a small light screen.
“Bao Yuanbo, Yi Jianbai, Zhou Yuansi…” After a mont, Yan Hongyun nad twenty people in succession.
Those who were nad, either proud, satisfied or anxious, walked to the front of the crowd one by one.
“Zhou Yuansi, do you understand the dicinal properties of the primary dicinal herb Huang Jing, and know what it can be refined into…”
As the Dao vein selection proceeded, Wang Zijia gradually understood the situation.
It was like a two-way selection, sowhat similar to the campus recruitnt season after graduating from university in his previous life.
Dao veins first announce the welfare, then interested parties sign up. Only those who et the ‘grade’ condition get to start the interview, and in the end, the best perforrs are admitted.
This process is a standard dual selection. You choose the Dao vein, and the Dao vein is also choosing you.
“They make it seem very liberal, don’t they?”
Wang Zijia watched the ongoing mbership selections, his mind full of thoughts. With Xiang Liang’s advice, he did not act rashly and enjoyed the watching the event.
The disciples below, however, were entirely different. They had strived hard to pass the entrance trial, just to have a chance to advance to Outer Sect Disciple rank and join a school, right?
They had passed the martial exam, and if they couldn’t pass this literary exam, they would end up as sectless Outer Sect Disciples, forced by the Administrative Office to go and do odd jobs everywhere, essentially becoming upgraded servants. Their ten-plus years of struggle would have been wasted, and the path to future promotions would also be almost completely cut off.
