At this moment three of them heard some commotion from below. Li Jun Looked down curiously and saw that all the elders on the selection platform surrounded a boy and a dog.
Their faces were flushed with excitement as they had won some kind of lottery. The boy should be 7 years old at this moment he was looking at the people who surrounded him with some apprehension.
The boy is covered with dirt and his clothes are tattered. At this moment the boy was leaning against the dog for support. The dog had white fur all over his body and looked like an Ethiopian wolf but there were still many differences. Its eyes showed human-like wisdom which shows that it is a spiritual creature.
Seeing the boy being afraid it bared its teeth and barked at surrounding people trying to show its majesty but its trembling legs said otherwise.
It's normal because everyone around has minimum foundation level cultivation which is too much for him who does not have cultivation.
Elders from various forces just smiled at this behaviour. At this moment one of the elders stepped forward and said, "Little boy, Join my Nine Cauldron sect, We have a history of over 10,000 years and we had an ancestor of Spirit Realm before…"
He had not finished before everyone around became frenzy and started to scold him.
"Bullshit, Nine Cauldron sect? Never heard of it. It should be some unknown Tier 10 sect. Why are you deceiving the little boy?"
"Yes, little brother doesn't believe in his nonsense. Unlike him, I will be honest our Mantis sect is a Tier 9 sect that is about to be promoted to Tier 8. If you join our sect then we will invest all the resources in the sect to train you." Another elder stepped forward and offered the conditions.
"Huh, Tier 8 sect? Why are you blowing so much? Since when is it so easy to get promoted to Tier 8?" At this moment a voice sounded on the platform filled with disdain.
The elder who just offered his condition was angry that someone ruined the good deed he wanted to scold another party but when he saw the owner of the voice he swallowed the words and squeezed out an ugly smile on his face.
It's Elder Wu who spoke just now. He is an Elder of Legit Tier 8 sect on top of that he has a disciple with Mid Grade spirit root. He is not something he can offend.
Elder Wu ignored the person and looked at the little boy with an amiable smile and said, "Little Dol, Join my Fierce Wind Sect out sect is about to be promoted to Tier 7 soon. With our abundant resources and your High-grade spirit root, you can step into Spirit Realm within 100 years."
"High-Grade spirit root?" On top of Purple Mansion Li Jun was extremely surprised.
A High-Grade Spirit Root actually appeared! No wonder these people look so happy as if they had won a lottery.
A Person who has High-Grade Spirit roots is precious to any force. On top of that, this person is a kid, They can bring him back to the sect and cultivate loyalty to the sect.
Li Jun started to contemplate looking at the child below. Should he bring him to the sect with him?
He looked at the countdown at the system and was helpless. He has less than three hours remaining, In this time he has to find a Heaven Chosen.
Is this boy a Heaven Chosen?
He held his chin and appeared to be in deep thought.
At this moment Sister Zi who was sitting in front of him also had a serious face. Although Purple Mansion is a Tier 6 power it does not mean they can ignore a person with High-Grade Spirit Root.
"Uncle Hu, Recruit that little boy." She thought for a moment and gave the order. There was no uncertainty in her voice as she is extremely confident that no one will be able to compete with her for this boy.
"Yes, Miss." Uncle Hu nodded solemnly, he knew the importance of the matter. If this is handled we'll then he will get a lot of credit which is helpful for his cultivation.
Just as he was going to leave there was a new situation below which attracted his attention.
At this moment when Elder Wu offered his condition. Elder Zhong from the Golden Rock sect also offered conditions that were more tempting than the offer made by Elder Wu.
He said that the sect will train the boy as the next Sect Leader.
Because of this Elder Wu started to quarrel with him. Elder Zhong did not back down this time as he started to argue back.
Just as they were quarrelling, the little boy finally opened his mouth and said in a milky voice, "I will only join the sect which will accept mochi along with me."
Everyone around we're silent and confused. Who is mochi?
"Little brother, is mochi your friend? You are so righteous that you do not forget your friend. Fine, we will accept your friend as a disciple." Elder Wu Stroked his beard and said with a smile.
Elder Zhong said shamelessly as he took the initiative once again.
"Really?" The little boy's eyes shone with brilliant light as he looked at Elder Wu.
"Of course, why would I lie to you? Call your friend. I will write his name on the sect register." Elder Wu was overjoyed seeing the boy interested in his sect. If he brings another person with a High-Grade spirit root then his position in the sect will skyrocket.
"Okay." The little boy nodded excitedly.
"Little brother we will also accept..." Elder Zhong was anxious seeing this. He did not want a talented boy like this to slip away from his hand.
"Look Mochi! They will accept you too!" The Little boy said excitedly to the dog next to him.
Elder Wu was dumbfounded seeing this and Elder Zhong stopped what he was saying.
"Little doll is this your friend?" Elder Wu looked at the boy and asked hesitantly while pointing at the dog.
"Yes, This is Mochi. Mochi say hello to the elder." The little boy nodded excitedly as he said to Mochi next to him.
Elder Wu had an embarrassed look on his face after hearing the boy. This makes things difficult for him, He cannot register a dog as the disciple in the sect register.
It will ruin the reputation of the sect. For any sect, the sect register is the lifeblood which contains the name of their talented disciples from when the sect was established.
It contains the name of their founding ancestors. This book records the glorious ancestors of their sect. So how can he write the name of a dog in the book?
If the sect master knows about this then he would peel three layers of skin from his body.
He looked around and saw everyone's gloating look and was even more embarrassed.
At this moment Elder Zhong stepped forward and said, "Little brother, why don't you come with me back to the sect? The sect register is not with me it's with the sect leader. Come with me and I will register your name along with the name of your friend mochi."
Everyone around was stunned after hearing him. You went out to recruit disciples and did not bring the sect register? Who are you trying to fool?
But all of them were experienced people and they instantly understood the intention behind this. After bringing the boy to the sect they can make a fake register and write their names on it.
Fake or real, how can a little boy tell the difference?
Good idea!
Elder Wu's face was black hearing him. The sect register is already in his hand; he cannot retract it now and give the same excuse. What to do now?
"Little brother, come with us, our sect will accept both of you with open hands but registration for new disciples is a bit special in our sect. We always register names of new disciples in the hall of ancestors. You can come with me and register the name." Suddenly elder Wu shined as he had an idea, thus he said to the boy. Then he looked around with threatening eyes as if saying if you try to hinder me you will be my enemy.
But they did not notice that the boy had a defensive look on his face as he heard them. He slowly backed out with the dog and said, "Sorry I will not join your sect unless you register mochi in front of me now."
He feels that these people are trying to deceive him. That's why he did not want to join their sect. Looks like no sect would accept them now.
Hearing him, Elder Wu and Elder Zhong's complexion became somewhat unsightly. They have already lowered their face and this boy is still rejecting them.
They are considering whether to take some extreme measures now…
Just as they were contemplating a voice rang above them, "I will accept both of you. Here is the sect register you can write the name yourself."
Everyone we're startled as they heard this, Who is so courageous to hinder the plan of two Tier 8 sects?
They looked up and saw a man floating down from the top of the purple mansion. He had a handsome face which made him look like an Immortal and he appeared to be relaxed even when facing so many high-level cultivations.
It's Li Jun! He finally decided to make a move and accept the boy as a disciple because he did not have much time left for the mission.
He is going to bet that this boy is heaven chosen.
