Chapter 81: Recruitment Ends

Su Yu watched as the number of people on the Spirit Boat increased; those who had just boarded were already getting along well with the first group.

They were all talking about what they would do after arriving at the Profound Heaven Sect.

Lin Yanan and her companion were explaining the important points to the newcomers, and those who had already heard it once were still listening to Lin Yanan's explanation with rapt attention.

Neither Lin Yanan nor her companion put on airs; they didn't look down on these newly recruited Disciples.

Among the Disciples recruited from the cities this time, there were some bolder ones who would come to chat with Su Yu and ask him questions.

With a few people taking the lead, gradually many others also came to ask Su Yu questions.

However, there were still some who looked down on those with low Aptitude or no background; such people existed in basically every Sect.

They disdained to associate with those of low Aptitude, looked down on others, and would certainly not speak to them, preferring only to converse with those of their own status.

They wouldn't join the others in discussion, listening only when Su Yu or Lin Yanan spoke.

Su Yu and the others noticed this situation, but as long as they didn't cause trouble on the Spirit Boat, they wouldn't interfere.

Su Yu had seen plenty of such people; having pride was a good thing, but they would become obedient after being beaten down by the realities of Cultivation.

After several days of constant traveling, Su Yu had seen different scenery along the way and the customs of various cities; occasionally coming out to recruit for the Sect was not a bad choice.

The key was that Su Yu felt this was a lucrative job; no wonder whenever someone was asked to replace another Elder for recruitment, they would usually go if they had no other business.

This recruitment drive was nearly over; the further away the cities were, the fewer people with Spiritual Roots there were.

In some of the later cities, there were even only one or two people with Spiritual Roots.

Overall, the number of Disciples Su Yu had recruited this time was quite good; there was one with a Dual Spiritual Root, and he had recruited about fifty Disciples in total.

The Spirit Boat was now very different from when they had first arrived; it was incredibly lively.

Most people were discussing what they would do after arriving at the Profound Heaven Sect, boasting about what they would achieve once they got there.

As the Spirit Boat flew into the air and headed toward the Profound Heaven Sect, Su Yu's recruitment journey came to an end.

On the Spirit Boat, Lin Yanan and her companion were chatting with them about the Profound Heaven Sect and sharing some of their own experiences, which the newcomers listened to with great interest.

They would soon arrive at the Profound Heaven Sect, and along the way, they could occasionally see other Elders returning with recruited Disciples.

"Everyone, look! There are so many people on that giant sword!"

Everyone followed the person's gaze and, sure enough, there were many Disciples standing on the giant sword, just like them, preparing to enter the Profound Heaven Sect.

"That giant sword is so imposing!" Su Yu looked at the people on the giant sword. Isn't that Elder Huang? It was as consistent with his style as ever—simply high-profile.

They had seen quite a few flying Spiritual Artifacts along the way; it could be considered an eye-opener before officially entering the Sect.

Su Yu and his group finally returned to the Profound Heaven Sect.

Everyone disembarked from the Spirit Boat and, looking at the Profound Heaven Sect before them, stood dazed on the spot, unable to recover for a long time.

This expression was no different from when they had first arrived.

"I can't believe it; we are about to become Disciples of the Profound Heaven Sect."

"Alright, let's go, let's go in. From now on, you are all Disciples of the Profound Heaven Sect."

Everyone walked into the Profound Heaven Sect with a mixture of nervousness and excitement.

Su Yu led everyone to the Utility Disciple plaza. "Someone will come later to guide you through the registration procedures."

Su Yu personally took those few Disciples to the Utility Disciple station to register.

The person in charge saw Su Yu bringing people to register and understood Su Yu's intention; it meant he should just take care of them a little.

Besides, the Aptitude of these few was not bad, so even without Su Yu saying anything, their treatment would not be poor given their better Aptitude.

They would likely be taken in as apprentices by some Elders early on.

After delivering them to the location, Su Yu left the Utility Disciple station and returned to his courtyard.

This recruitment journey had been quite good.

The few Sects on Jiang Cheng's side had already shown some improvement; many Disciples had gathered in their Sects, and those Disciples would never imagine that the Sect they had just joined was a Demonic Sect.

They would select those suitable for Cultivating the Demonic Path among them, while the others would serve as cover.

He would also need some discarded pawns to serve as cover; currently, these few Sects were far from reaching his desired goal.

"Chen An, did you investigate the intelligence I asked you to?"

"It has been investigated."

Jiang Cheng took the information handed over by Chen An.

His main goal now was still to increase his own Cultivation.

Therefore, he had to push the effects of his Yin Yang Demon Pearl to the limit; he needed to absorb a massive amount of others' Cultivation and Foundation.

That was why he had asked Chen An to investigate the high-level Cultivators nearby.

He couldn't easily make a move against people from the Celestial Maiden Sect right now, but there were no such concerns here.

In any case, he would go to the Celestial Maiden Sect for revenge sooner or later; he couldn't ruin things because of impulsiveness right now, Jiang Cheng thought, looking at the information in his hand.

"Let's go, accompany me on a trip."

The two arrived at the location mentioned in the information. This time, their target was someone at the Foundation Establishment Stage Level 9; this was not difficult for them, and they could even take her away without making a sound.

When the two arrived at her location, they saw that there were actually three people in the courtyard.

Jiang Cheng looked at the clothing of the other two; he truly hadn't expected to run into people from the Celestial Maiden Sect here.

It was simply an unexpected gain. Jiang Cheng did not hesitate, and several black shadows instantly attacked the three of them.

Just as the woman at the Foundation Establishment Stage Level 9 realized something was wrong, the black shadows had already reached them.

The three were instantly knocked unconscious, and Jiang Cheng immediately left the place with them; after all, staying too long would lead to trouble.

When the three woke up, they were no longer in their original location.

The three looked at Jiang Cheng.

"A Golden Core Stage Cultivator? Who are you? We don't seem to have met before."

"We haven't met, but you don't need to know who I am. You will soon become my nourishment."

Jiang Cheng didn't waste any more words with them and directly grabbed the female Cultivator at the Foundation Establishment Stage Level 9.

In a short while, the female Cultivator at the Foundation Establishment Stage Level 9 was sucked into a dried corpse right before their eyes.

The two Celestial Maiden Sect Disciples were so terrified that they couldn't speak.

Both of them guessed that the person before them was a Demon Clan member, and they realized there was no hope of escaping from the hands of this Golden Core Stage Devil Head.

They hadn't expected that just by going on a long journey, they would end up dying here.

Watching Jiang Cheng walk toward them, the two finally understood what despair was, and soon, both were also sucked into dried corpses by Jiang Cheng.

Under the frantic operation of the Yin Yang Demon Pearl, Jiang Cheng felt the power within his body increasing; this feeling was truly exhilarating.

However, there are no airtight walls; the anomalies that occurred here would still reach the ears of some people.
