Phoenix Feather Sect's Awakening Site,
As Ashen said this, an old man's laugh reverberated, praising Ashen: "Hahaha, Good Kid, You are correct. Just join my Crimson Sky Sect"
Everyone's gaze turned toward the source of the voice as they saw 9 powerful cultivators approaching them while flying at a rapid pace.
In the blink of an eye, they reached the Awakening site before coming to a stop.
Floating in the air, facing Ashen, The man in the front asked: "Kid, would you like to join my Crimson Sky Sect? It is the first ranked sect in the southern empire, I Promise to take good care of you"
Hearing his offer, Ashen acted to contemplate as the Elder from the Phoenix Feather Sect started to sweat profusely. He couldn't just stand here and let this genius slip away from his hands.
Therefore, he pointed towards the man in front while shouting: "Chen Lu! What do you think you're doing? This is my sect's territory, go back at once if you don't want to face The Phoenix Feather sect's wrath!"
Hearing his pompous words, Chen Lu laughed out loud as he teased: "Hahaha, Lo Pu, Have you gone senile? Can't you see, we all have come together? Can your 8th-ranked sect afford to show your wrath to all of us?"
Lo Pu gritted his teeth helplessly before shouting: "Then too, this kid belongs to my sect, I will not let you snatch him from us"
Chen Lu, shook his head as he moved his index finger left and right, muttering in a loud voice: "You are wrong Lo Pu, This kid hasn't joined your sect yet and it is his right to choose which sect he wants to join. We are simply here to offer him the chance to join our sect"
While the two were busy conversing with each other, an old man floating behind Chen Lu, sneaked away, appearing in front of Ashen as he offered:
"Kid, listen, Join my Thunder Peak sect and I will make you a core disciple right away with the most priority given to you. You will also become the personal disciple of the sect leader"
As he was making his offer, the two elders arguing noticed his stunt as they shouted in Unison: "Mo Xiang!!" Chen Lu scolded: "Can't you wait? We all are here for the same purpose, have some dignity atleast"
Mo Xiang glared back at Chen Lu, yelling in anger: "When will you start? I am fed up of waiting. Just start already!"
A flustered expression appeared on Chen Lu's face for a second, however, with a calm face, he proposed: "Then let's start. Mo Xiang, come back first"
Mo Xiang returned to his position and Chen Lu continued: "Now, I will explain, how we are going to proceed with our offers"
Everyone's ears stood up as they paid full attention to the details.
"I will announce a benefit, my sect is willing to offer this kid. If your sect is also willing to give the same benefit, raise your hand, otherwise, keep your hand down.
After I am done with my benefits, other elders will offer their additional benefits. Phoenix Feather Sect can also participate in this.
Kid, you will witness and remember what benefits were given by whom as you are the one to make the last decision."
Ashen nodded before plunging the Monkey King's staff into the ground. The staff pierced the floor, firmly stuck in the ground, standing straight like an immovable sentinel.
Ashen, fixed his gaze on it before muttering in a low voice: "Grow!"
The staff started to increase in size and in the blink of an eye, the staff reached the height at which the Elders were flying before surpassing that height and stopping 20m above them.
Ashen employed his technique wind walk as he slammed his leg on the floor, jumping at a skyrocketing speed, reaching the tip of Ruyi Jingu Bang.
Landing on the tip, he sat there, cross-legged.
The staff appeared as a large pillar, visible from afar.
It had increased in size and thickness with its tip as big as a small room's floor, making it easy for Ashen to sit and accommodate comfortably.
Everyone stared at this scene with their mouth gaped open, The elders who seemingly were flying at a high height, now appeared small and near to the ground, while Ashen gazed down upon them.
The Elders, upon seeing this nodded their heads in appreciation. This showed that Ashen had the Pride of a cultivator, although he was not that powerful right now.
The elders increased their height of flight, reaching the same height at which Ashen sat.
Ashen, noticing this, once again increased the height of the staff, this time he was only a meter above them.
The Elders understood they couldn't win this game without attacking Ashen and they were here to recruit him, not making an enemy out of him.
Therefore, staying at their places, they gazed up at Ashen, who sat comfortably.
Shortly, Lo Pu also joined these nine Elders.
Prepared, They nodded at Chen Lu, informing him to start with the process.
Chen Lu nodded back, adhering to their request.
He yelled his first offer: "Upon Joining my Sect, you will directly become a core disciple!"
Everyone raised their hands, ready to provide this benefit. Ashen nodded, prompting Chen Lu to continue.
"My sect will give your cultivation the most priority, providing all the help that you will need!"
This time too, everyone raised their hand.
Chen Lu continued: "You will have your own house and that house will be the most luxurious among the disciples' houses"
All hands were raised again and Chen Lu added:
"My sect will provide two maids to tend to your needs"
Everybody, though reluctant, raised their hands. This offer meant, sending two disciples of the sect to serve Ashen and Ashen would be allowed to do anything to them.
"You will become the Personal disciple of the Sect leader!"
This time, Everybody raised their hands except Lo Pu, their sect leader already had a disciple and had announced that she wouldn't take another disciple.
He didn't have the authority to make this decision by himself and as he was hesitating, a strong voice resounded in everyone's ears.
"Why are you hesitating Lo Pu?"
Han Yujin's eyes shined with reverence upon hearing this voice as he exclaimed: "Master!"
