The next day marked a momentous occasion in the town. The assembly hall was prepared with two seats facing each other, creating the perfect setting for a formal gathering. Meanwhile, outside on the field, a crowd began to gather, consisting of numerous parents and children. Among them were members of prominent families in the town, specifically those belonging to level eight or level nine families. These families were renowned for producing several exceptionally talented individuals.
Seated comfortably in his designated seat, Li Tian came across a fascinating item in the mall—the Inquiry Stone. This stone was no ordinary treasure; it possessed the ability to determine the cultivation level and spiritual root quality of individuals, making it an invaluable tool for recruiting disciples. The price of this remarkable object was just one value point.
After acquiring the Inquiry Stone, Li Tian noticed that his value points in the system had decreased. However, he was eager to test the stone's capabilities. He requested Quan Ning to verify if the stone displayed the same information she had written on her form. As he made this request, he glanced at the table before him, which was filled with ninety-nine forms. According to the norms of the other sect, only five disciples from this town were required for recruitment, and those with spiritual roots below mid-grade were not eligible to participate. When the representatives of the other sect saw the number of forms on Li Tian's table, they couldn't help but exclaim, "What a group of foolish individuals."
However, Li Tian remained undeterred. He was well aware of the immense potential within his sect. In the midst of the crowd, there were two level eight families, each with the required five disciples. Upon assessing the roots and cultivation level of the hundred students present, Li Tian discovered a mix of individuals with mid-grade and low-grade spiritual roots. Nevertheless, he maintained his composure, finding solace in the story of the Iron Bone Pie and the knowledge that the system contained high-quality transforming liquid.
Amidst the crowd, certain individuals stood out. Tian Bao and Tian Shi, a dynamic pair of siblings with exceptional spiritual potential, had rightfully earned the titles of the 3rd and 4th prodigies in the town. Another surprising revelation was that Zu's son, despite his family's lack of good spiritual roots, was considered a miracle due to sharing the same roots. Additionally, individuals like Su Niu, Ai Song, and Luc Li possessed mid-grade roots, making them highly esteemed candidates for joining the GMS sect.
After successfully recruiting one hundred students for his sect, a notification appeared, indicating that a sect mission tower could be obtained for 75 value points. Coincidentally, the current value point amount was 99, making the acquisition feasible.
With the recruitment process concluded, Li Tian, standing outside the hall, declared with unwavering conviction that the time had come for their departure to the sect. He emphasized the importance of all students gathering after breakfast the following morning. On the way back, Quan Ning inquired about the logistics of transporting such a large number of students to the sect, considering the possibility of them carrying luggage.
Li Tian was filled with awe as he uncovered the profound wisdom that resided within him. His astonishment only grew when he stumbled upon the fact that his wise grandfather had bestowed upon him a generous gift of around ten grams of precious gold. This remarkable amount, equivalent to a million paper notes, ignited his curiosity and prompted him to ponder the most suitable means of transportation for his upcoming adventure. After careful consideration, he ultimately settled on a grand horse-drawn cart.
Upon realizing that each cart could comfortably accommodate five students, Li Tian swiftly deduced that he would require approximately twenty-five carts. This would allow him to transport four students, along with a modest amount of luggage, thus facilitating their journey effectively. He promptly made the necessary arrangements, securing their passage with a payment of ten thousand paper notes, and even reserved an additional cart for the Zu family's arrival at the sect. This marked the commencement of a new chapter in Li Tian's journey, as well as the beginning of a transformative experience for his newly recruited disciples.
