After the sect war, along with the outco, the demonic na of Su Jie's bloodthirsty nature also spread widely.
Inside the Ghost Ridge Palace's mountain gate, although they had won this sect war, Ghost Ridge Palace itself also suffered great losses.
Many disciples and elders fell during the war, with the number reduced by half compared to before the conflict began.
With the nature of the righteous sects, it was impossible to expect any war reparations.
Although the opposition had also suffered loss in troops, their deep-rooted foundation ant that if Ghost Ridge Palace overstepped, the enemy might forcibly gather forces and strike back.
The sparse number of disciples led the leaders of Ghost Ridge Palace to imdiately decide to open the mountain gate wide and recruit new disciples on a large scale, loosening the conditions significantly.
Ghost Ridge Palace, having just achieved a spectacular victory, was now in its most highly esteed and sought-after state.
Although joining a demon sect didn't sound good, it still promised a path to longevity.
There were too many unfulfilled loose cultivators in this world, most of whom had tried to join righteous sects but were often turned away due to poor talents.
Righteous sects would choose disciples, sotis not only testing talent but also examining the disciples' temperant, emphasizing virtues such as benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom, and faith.
However, at Ghost Ridge Palace they refused no one; it didn't matter if your talent was poor, as long as you were human and could refine spiritual energy, you could beco an outer disciple, a glorious expendable resource.
As for temperant, demon cultivators didn't care about such things—if you were a cruel and despicable spirit, it didn't matter here.
Therefore, when Ghost Ridge Palace opened its gates for recruitnt, the scene at the mountain gate was packed like a bustling market.
There were not only self-motivated loose cultivators but also nurous black market rchants, and common folk recruited from various places. After a simple test confird their talents, their families were given so money; then they were brought here and sold to Ghost Ridge Palace for a profit.
"There are indeed a lot of people! Hey, Su Jie, are you also recruiting disciples?"
Ning Xinyue fanned her small hand, looking at the tightly packed queue of newcors lining up in front of her, chaotic like a busy market.
On one side, behind a table where elders sat, Su Jie fiddled with two magical treasures in his hand—a defensive Purple Jade Umbrella, capable of autonomously protecting its user and an offensive Wind and Thunder Fan, which upon waving brought forth simultaneous winds and thunders.
Both of these low-grade magical treasures were obtained from Wei Ji. Spiritual light surged from Su Jie's palm, seeping into the magical treasures, gradually erasing the prohibitions left by Wei Ji and reshaping them into his own style, a process which could take up to ten days to half a month, as refining low-grade magical treasures was no simple task.
"I'm not recruiting disciples; I'm hiring workers. Puppet Hall needs so labor."
Su Jie looked up and tucked away the two magical treasures, stepping out from behind the table, and called out to the crowd, "Is there any newcor willing to join Puppet Hall? The treatnt is excellent, starting with a salary of ten spirit stones per month."
Puppet Hall now had a Flying Magical Boat to study, and in order to et Su Jie's demands, they needed a substantial amount of manpower, ordinary people wouldn't suffice—they had to be cultivators bearing spiritual power.
These new recruits just joining the sect beca Su Jie's preferred targets. They were cheap and available in large quantities—perfectly suited for the assembly line work in Puppet Hall.
"Ah! That's Corpse Hand Man Slaughter Su Jie; I've seen his wanted portrait."
"I want to join, Master Su, I want to beco your disciple."
"Who is he? You guys are so excited."
"You don't know him? The strongest among the young generation in Qingzhou, the legendary devil who kills without blinking. If you can learn even half a move from him, you'd worry neither for food and drink nor for your life."
"Puppet Hall is said to be extrely important within Ghost Ridge Palace, and with a strong person like Corpse Hand Man Slaughter managing it, joining would surely bring benefits."
After Su Jie ca forward, the scene imdiately beca noisy.
Many newcors, having heard of the na Corpse Hand Man Slaughter Su Jie, hurriedly ca in large numbers, lining up to join under the auspices of Puppet Hall.
So were drawn by Su Jie's reputation, others were enticed by the treatnt offered to newcors by Puppet Hall, hoping to gamble for wealth and honor here.
The forr was Su Jie, who had just beco famous in Qingzhou, and the latter was also made famous within Ghost Ridge Palace by the rocket artillery in one battle—these were points highly desirable to newcors.
Not to ntion the treatnt laid out by Su Jie, which was quite good for newcors.
"Who again spread my na, 'Corpse Hand Man Slaughter'? It sounds like a bloodthirsty person, do I look like that kind of person?"
Su Jie's eye twitched slightly. He had achieved the Secret Realm, yet the reputation he made in Yunling Realm still clung to him—it seed this title was inescapable.
Ning Xinyue giggled beside him and said, "You don't just look like it, it perfectly suits you!"
"Tch!"
Su Jie knocked on Ning Xinyue's head, looking at the long queue before him, he decisively continued with the recruitnt.
Su Jie wasn't fussy about the talent of these newcors. As long as they joined the assembly line in Puppet Hall, even the worst talent was sufficient.
Thus, the entire recruitnt went extrely smoothly, and by the end of the day, Su Jie had recruited thousands of new people for Puppet Hall.
........
Ti flies like an arrow!
Six months later.
Ghost Ridge Palace, Puppet Hall.
Su Jie, wearing the elder's magic robe, leisurely walked through.
The first thing that caught the eye in Puppet Hall was the hundreds of ters long Flying Magical Boat.
On the huge gargantuan magical boat, disciples of Puppet Hall hopped up and down.
So disciples handled spirit gold and materials, welding at the gaps.
Others dismantled broken materials for repairs and polishing, or replaced them with new materials.
