Using entries to cultivate immortality in chaotic times

Chapter 305: Chapter 146: “Chao Tian Sect Disciple, Zhao Dezhu, pays respects to the Sect Master!!”_2
 

He had fought his entire life.

He had also braved the secret realms his entire life.

In his life, he had encountered countless opportunities and faced life or death situations, and he had long since come to terms with life and death, even knowing that his life was coming to an end didn’t bother him. But when he found out that joining the Chao Tian Sect would give him the chance to leave Da Xia and pursue the Nascent Soul, he couldn’t contain himself any longer, and he rushed to Fei Zhou City ahead of everyone else, brimming with excitement.

He wasn’t afraid of dying, because he knew that anyone at this stage had to wait for death just as he did.

But now, since there was a hope of not dying, how could he not be excited?

“Approved.”

Chen Qiu waved his hand, signaling that the old man whose admission into the sect was successful could go and wait on the left: “Next.”

Seeing that he had successfully joined the Chao Tian Sect, the elder could no longer hold back his emotions and, without caring about his image, with tears streaming down his face, moved to the left side, then carefully approached Fat Long and whispered, “Great Elder, when will the sect distribute the disciple tokens, disciple robes, and sect rules, and when do we sign the Life Plate contract?”

Although he had already received Sect Master Chen’s verbal approval.

Without these items and the Life Plate, he always felt insecure, as if it were all just an illusion that could disappear at any moment.

Only when he had these things in hand would he feel like a weight had truly been lifted from his heart.

“Eh?”

Being called Great Elder gave Fat Long a secret thrill; he cleared his throat and replied with a kind smile, “How did you know I am the Great Elder of the Chao Tian Sect?”

“The Great Elder had previously introduced himself in front of everyone. Before coming to the Chao Tian Sect, I gathered information about it,” the elder replied.

“Good.”

Fat Long nodded in satisfaction and said seriously, “The distribution of disciple tokens and robes can be discussed later. Once the Sect Master has signed the Life Plate contract with you, they will be distributed.”

“Thank you for the guidance, Great Elder.”

“…”

Standing there, Fat Long looked toward Chen Qiu, who was still vetting applicants, and mulled over the situation. With so many Golden Core Peak, Great Perfection Cultivators joining the Chao Tian Sect, it was well on its way to becoming a Major Sect.

It would seem somewhat irregular for so many disciples not to have disciple tokens and robes.

But they hadn’t even designed the disciple robes yet, let alone the tokens.

Where could they get these items from?

He would have to discuss with Brother Qiu later to see if they could quickly come up with something.

…

Meanwhile—

Chen Qiu had completed vetting four applicants, three were accepted, and one was rejected. The rejected one was a Golden Core Peak, Great Perfection Cultivator from the Hundred Countries; there was no special reason for the rejection, simply because he didn’t like people with foreign charm.

He just didn’t fit his aesthetic.

Now it was the fifth one’s turn.@@novelbin@@

It was a middle-aged man. The middle-aged man cautiously approached Chen Qiu and said with some trepidation, “Sect Master Chen, although I am only at the sixth layer of Golden Core Cultivation, I have… a special talent. May I join the Chao Tian Sect?”

Chen Qiu shook his head; the sixth layer of Golden Core Cultivation was too low, and they still had to be trained up to Nascent Soul. He was willing to accept disciples at Golden Core Peak Great Perfection because once these people broke through to Nascent Soul, they could be of great assistance to him in the outside world. But the sixth layer was simply too low; he didn’t have the time to foster newcomers.

Just as he was about to shake his head and refuse,

The middle-aged man carefully handed over a storage ring: “I found this on the road, Sect Master Chen, could it be something you’ve lost?”

“…”

Chen Qiu’s Divine Sense pierced into the storage ring; there were no restrictions. Inside were neatly placed 100 Mid-grade Spirit Stones. After a brief silence, he swept the storage ring into his sleeve with Spiritual Energy.

“Low in cultivation, but good in potential, worth cultivating.”

“Approved.”

“Next.”

“Thank you, Sect Master!” The middle-aged man, who had lost all hope, was overjoyed and quickly ran to the left, standing with the three others who had been accepted. He turned to look at the three in front and whispered, “Nice to meet you, fellow disciples, my name is He Tianxia.”

The previous three who had been selected were all old men with Golden Core Peak, Great Perfection Cultivation.

At that moment, they were also in high spirits and laughed,

“What senior or junior brothers? We haven’t officially joined the sect yet, and it’s uncertain who will be whose senior. Who knows, we might have to look up to you in the future.”

“No, no, your Cultivation is higher than mine, so you must be my seniors.”

“Hahaha, then we’ll take your kind words, junior brother!”

…

“Next.”

Sitting on the chair passed over by Fat Long, Chen Qiu was growing weary from all the vetting. He casually waved his hand and sipped on the Frostveil Tea in his teacup. But when he saw the next person coming forward, he couldn’t help but smile, momentarily taken aback.

“Sect Master of the Caotian Sect, what brings you here?” he asked.

“Uh…”

Sect Master Zhao Dezhu of the Caotian Sect chuckled awkwardly, saying, “You see, Sect Master Chen, my name is Zhao Dezhu. I contacted you in advance, and you told me to come.”

“Oh, I remember now. Sorry, are you not interested in the Caotian Sect anymore?”

“Sigh.”

Zhao Dezhu spoke earnestly, “If I don’t abdicate, I will remain the Sect Master forever. It’s only right for a Sect Master to step down and leave opportunities for the younger generation.”

“Understood.” Chen Qiu nodded as if suddenly enlightened: “Do you mean I should also step down as the Sect Master and leave opportunities for the younger ones?”

“Not at all!”

Zhao Dezhu, realizing he had said the wrong thing, hurriedly shook his head: “That’s not what I meant, and besides… besides… you, Sect Master Chen, are the youngest person in the Chao Tian Sect.”

Chen Qiu glanced around; it was indeed the case. He was in fact the youngest person in the Chao Tian Sect. Everyone who had arrived was either an old man or a middle-aged man; not one was young. Mainly because the young ones couldn’t cultivate to this realm.
