"What the heck! Xia Ziyun comprehended it so quickly? They've only been in there for half an hour, right? Li Sheng has such great Sword Cultivator Aptitude, why is he so useless?"
Ye Han was a bit stunned after hearing the system's reminder.
He thought Li Sheng would be the first to comprehend Meteor Swordplay, but it turned out to be Xia Ziyun.
An hour later.
[Congratulations, Host! Your Sect Disciple Li Sheng has comprehended Meteor Swordplay: Catching Stars Chasing the Moon, and Stars Holding the Moon. The Host has automatically comprehended Max Level Stars Holding the Moon.]
"Huh? This kid comprehended two moves consecutively? That's impressive!"
Ye Han curiously opened his eyes. He thought Li Sheng wouldn't be able to comprehend it today.
He didn't expect this kid to be holding back a big move. He's got something.
[Congratulations, Host. Your sect disciple Ling Yun has comprehended Meteor Swordplay: Catching Stars Chasing the Moon.]
"Ling Yun also comprehended it? Not bad, not bad! Even with a lack of Aptitude, he can still be so outstanding. The younger generation is formidable!"
Ye Han stroked his non-existent beard, feigning profundity.
[Host, please have some shame. You're not even two years older than them, yet you're still so weak. Tsk tsk tsk]
The system's disdainful tone immediately made Ye Han unhappy.
"Heh. Who Cultivates by themselves normally? I just rely on my Disciples to become stronger. It's a minor thing…"
"Sect Master, many people outside are asking to see you!"
While Ye Han and the system were bickering, Liu Changsheng ran over to report to Ye Han.
"Oh? Then I won't see them. If they ask to see me and I see them, how boring would that be? Let them wait…"
Ye Han had no time to bother with the little weaklings outside. He was still looking forward to Li Sheng and the others comprehending the last move of Meteor Swordplay.
"Yes, Sect Master!"
Liu Changsheng respectfully withdrew.
"Host, have you never thought about recruiting an Advanced Alchemist?"
"Do you think I don't want to? I can't find one! How do I recruit?"
Ye Han immediately bristled. The way you asked that, do you think I don't have money because I don't want to earn it?
"Does the Host have to make me release a mission before he understands?"
"You should have said so earlier! Hurry up and release the mission!"
Ye Han rubbed his hands. Missions are good. Missions let the Disciples complete them, while he just lies here like a corpse.
[As long as the Host recruits an Alchemist of Seventh Grade or above, one Sacred Artifact will be rewarded.
Recruiting an Alchemist below Seventh Grade will reward three Wash Marrow Pills, one level increase in Cultivation, and one Medium Grade Spiritual Artifact.]
"What the heck? Why are they all Alchemists?"
Ye Han was instantly dumbfounded after hearing the system's words. Don't joke around, where is this?
This is the lowest of the lowest state! You want me to recruit an Alchemist here? What's the difference from finding a diamond ring in the ocean?
"Sect Master…"
Just then, Liu Changsheng unexpectedly ran in again.
"What is it, Changsheng? It's not that I'm lecturing you, but don't make such a fuss over small matters!"
Ye Han was already feeling depressed, and Liu Changsheng also ran over to bother him!
"No, Sect Master, an Alchemist said he wants to join our Eternal Star Sect!"
"Let's go!"
Ye Han, with lightning speed, appeared at the Sect entrance with Liu Changsheng.
"Who is the Alchemist?"
At this moment, the area outside Eternal Star Sect was already packed with people, all wanting to join Eternal Star Sect.
What a great backer!
Just based on the aura from everyone present, he could tell that the old man walk sideways within the Xingyue Empire.
"This old man is…"
An unkempt old man emerged from the crowd, his clothes tattered.
Who is this? Why did a beggar come here? Help! Am I opening it the wrong way?
Ye Han looked at the answering old man in a daze. After a moment of pause, he decided to use his Detection Eye to check.
Name: Nangong Elder.
Age: 1987 years old.
Cultivation: Nascent Soul (Crippled!)
Identity: Seventh Grade Alchemist (Crippled!)
"System, if I take him, does he count as a Seventh Grade Alchemist?"
Ye Han's face lit up. There really was an Alchemist coming? It's just a bit speechless, why do all the useless ones run to him?
Can't there be some normal Geniuses or big shots?
"Yes!"
"That's great! Who cares if he's crippled or not, let's take him in first!"
How could Ye Han care so much? Alchemy Peak had been open for a long time, and there wasn't even a single person.
Nangong Elder saw Ye Han silent for a long time and felt a bit lost. He thought Ye Han disliked him.
He lifted his leg, ready to leave, but Ye Han quickly called out to him.
"If you don't mind, you can come to my Eternal Star Sect to be an Alchemist from now on!"
"This… You… You don't mind my appearance?"
Nangong Elder trembled as he turned to look at him, his expression filled with excitement, upon hearing Ye Han's retention.
Wherever he went, he was disliked, and because he was ambushed by a villain, and now his Cultivation and Alchemy were crippled.
But because he was an Alchemist, others didn't dare to kill him.
Nangong Elder wanted to join a Holy Land to seek Spirit Medicine to recover from his injuries and to beg a big shot, an Eighth Grade Alchemist, to help him refine a Revival Pill.
If he were a Seventh Grade Alchemist, the Holy Land wouldn't give him a hard time, but… he was a cripple now.
Wherever he went, he was met with cold stares. This was… the coldness of human nature.
When he was glorious, even a Second-Grade Sect treated him kindly.
Holy Lands also occasionally sent people to build good relations with him. Once he fell on hard times, everyone avoided him, and some even kicked him while he was down.
Now that he came to fallen State, the situation hadn't improved; instead, he became like a beggar.
Along the way, he heard how amazing Eternal Star Sect was, and he came here with his last shred of hope.
He originally thought it would also be a disappointment, but he didn't expect… Ye Han actually took him in!
"You're joking. Just settle down in Eternal Star Sect!"
"Yes…"
Tears welled up in Nangong Elder's eyes. Having lived for so long, this was the first time he was moved.
"Congratulations, Host! You have successfully recruited a Seventh Grade Alchemist, rewarding one Sacred Artifact."
"Senior, there's me too! Do you still accept Disciples?"
"That's right, we also want to join Eternal Star Sect. Please accept us!"
"Senior…"
"I've already made it very clear. Four-star Aptitude to enter Eternal Star Sect, or Alchemists, Artifact Refiners, Formation Masters are also acceptable."
Ye Han looked annoyed at these wishful-thinking weaklings. He also wanted to recruit more Disciples.
But the system wouldn't allow it, so goodbye then!
"What a lousy Eternal Star Sect! If this place doesn't keep me, there are other places that will!"
"Exactly! What's the big deal?!"
"You… Are you tired of living?"
The people around immediately backed away from those who spoke wildly. They didn't know Ye Han's Cultivation.
But Liu Changsheng was a core formation expert. How many lives did they have to dare to be disrespectful in Eternal Star Sect?
Ye Han was also amused and angered by this. What did they mean? Frustrated? Trying to act tough with me? Can I tolerate this?
"Sword Control Technique!"
Ye Han lightly shouted, and several streams of Spiritual Qi condensed into swords, pointing at the people who spoke.
"Offending this Venerable One is a capital offense! Go!"
Under everyone's shocked gazes, Ye Han's Spiritual Qi seemed endless.
Thousands of swords, at least, condensed from Spiritual Qi, flew towards them. They were only mortal Realm cultivators.
How could they resist? They were directly annihilated, clean and complete. At this, the others unconsciously retreated several steps.
Too terrifying.
However, their eyes also showed great joy. Such a powerful Sect, when else would they join if not now?
Unfortunately… the four-star Aptitude made many of them stop in their tracks.
