The man held out his hands, showing a hint of helplessness in his eyes, and then continued:
"I'm not trying to discourage you, Junior Brother, but there are twenty-nine Grade-B talents among you just in this assessment. If we didn't provide you with the Spirit Pill and cultivation rooms for your cultivation practice, you might not even make it into the top twenty and get the reward of twenty Tao Merits per month during the first year."
"You need to consider everything when determining gain and loss."
Seeing Zhang Jing's expression remain unchanged, the man continued:
"Junior Brother, our Hundred River Squad is among the top thirty-four teams in the Outer Academy. We have five Junior Brothers in the middle stage of the Refining Qi Realm and one in the late stage. We can provide safety and a lot of Tao Merits when it comes to suppressing demons."
"Do you know how many disciples in the Outer Academy are banging their heads trying to join us and can't get in?"
