104: Announcement

Qingtian Sect Main Hall.

Jiang Chen sipped the enlightenment tea handed to him by Liu Shu, while looking at the keepsake from his cheap master, lost in thought.

Liu Shu, her face flushed, brewed tea for Jiang Chen beside him.

"Reporting to Sect Master, your Subordinate has something to report!" Li Big Saber's voice rang out from outside the hall.

"Oh?"

Hearing Li Big Saber's voice, Jiang Chen put away his cheap master's keepsake and said indifferently, "Come in!"

As Jiang Chen's voice faded, Li Big Saber slowly walked into the Main Hall and bowed.

"Reporting to Sect Master, there are now a large number of Southern Domain cultivators gathered outside the sect. This is an excellent time to recruit disciples. Your Subordinate is here to ask for the Sect Master's instructions on whether to begin the second disciple recruitment."

After Li Big Saber finished speaking, he did not look up but remained bowed, awaiting Jiang Chen's instructions.

"Start now?"

Jiang Chen used his divine sense to look outside the Mountain Gate and fell into contemplation.

Of course, he knew there were many Southern Domain cultivators outside.

However, he wanted to wait for more people to gather before announcing the second disciple recruitment. That way, the news would spread further, more people would come, and more disciples would be recruited.

The Four Night Owls' recent training had spread the Qingtian Sect's reputation throughout the entire Southern Domain.

The number of people outside the sect now was not many compared to the entire Southern Domain. Even if they screened everyone, they wouldn't get many disciples.

However, since Li Big Saber had already asked, he couldn't dampen Li Big Saber's enthusiasm.

He could first leak the news of disciple recruitment, and then, after more people arrived, officially begin. This would maximize the number of disciples recruited.

Jiang Chen took a sip of enlightenment tea and looked at Li Big Saber, speaking indifferently.

"Big Saber, your suggestion is very timely. We can begin the second disciple recruitment, but not immediately. Instead, first announce the news to those outside, and officially begin recruitment one month from now."

As long as the news is announced first, coupled with the spread among hundreds of millions of people outside.

It is believed that the entire Southern Domain will soon know about the Qingtian Sect's disciple recruitment.

This one-month period is also for those who come to participate in the disciple recruitment assembly to travel.

With this one month, everyone who can make it will have enough time to arrive, thus not missing out on talented disciples due to time constraints.

"Yes, Sect Master, your Subordinate will go and announce the news outside. Official disciple recruitment will begin one month later!"

Li Big Saber accepted the order, bowed, and walked out of the Main Hall.

The Illusion Demon Realm and the talent testing ladder were both with him. As long as Jiang Chen gave the instructions, he would handle everything that followed.

Soon, under Li Big Saber's instructions.

Zhang Wu and Liu Liu walked out of the Mountain Gate and announced the news of the Qingtian Sect's disciple recruitment to hundreds of millions of Southern Domain cultivators.

"Haha, the Qingtian Sect truly understands us. They know we came for this, and they announced the disciple recruitment so quickly."

"Indeed, such a good opportunity cannot be missed. I must quickly arrange for my juniors to come over."

Hearing Zhang Wu and Liu Liu announce that the Qingtian Sect would officially begin disciple recruitment one month later.

Hundreds of millions of Southern Domain cultivators all erupted in excitement.

Countless communication treasures lit up, and the news about the Qingtian Sect recruiting disciples a month later quickly spread to their families.

"Hello, hello! The Qingtian Sect is recruiting disciples in a month. Hurry, hurry, arrange for all the young juniors to come over."

"What? Not enough spirit stones for travel expenses? Sell the house, sell my treasured collection of illustrations too! We absolutely cannot let our juniors lose at the starting line in the Southern Domain."

"That's right, wife, quickly bring our son to the Qingtian Sect. We are so lucky; we just arrived at the Qingtian Sect to inquire, and they announced disciple recruitment."

"Sister-in-law, I didn't lie to you. This Qingtian Sect is the number one power in the Southern Domain. Bring Hao'er over to try. If he can enter the Qingtian Sect, you won't have to suffer anymore."

"Son, I'm your father. I'm near the Qingtian Sect now. The Qingtian Sect just announced disciple recruitment. Quickly bring your sister along."

As message after message was sent out.

The Qingtian Sect's disciple recruitment swept through the Southern Domain like a storm.

From the Quasi-Emperors of the Three Great Dynasties down to the Body Tempering experts in a certain village, everyone knew about the Qingtian Sect's disciple recruitment.

Moreover, they knew that the Qingtian Sect's recruitment only considered talent and character, with no other restrictions.

Thus, a wave of enthusiasm to travel to the Qingtian Sect to participate in the disciple recruitment assembly swept across the entire Southern Domain.

"Haha, Qingtian Sect, I'm here! I've brought my younger siblings too."

"Qingtian Sect, you must seize this opportunity well. I am a boy destined to become a Great Emperor."

"Hmph, once I join the Qingtian Sect, I'll marry ten wives and sleep with ten a day."

"Fly, fly, fly quickly, reach the Qingtian Sect early!"

The Southern Domain cultivators who received the news were all full of excitement.

Either by themselves or led by elders, they prepared to rush to the Qingtian Sect quickly through various methods.

After all, there was only one month until the recruitment. Arriving at the Qingtian Sect early would bring peace of mind sooner.

In a small village where cooking smoke curled upwards.

A seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy dressed in coarse cloth said to a simple woman, "Mother! Your son is going to the Qingtian Sect. The journey is long, with high mountains and dense forests, and unknown dangers. Your son might not return. I specially kowtow three times to repay Mother's nurturing grace."

"Mother! Your son is going to the Qingtian Sect. The journey is long, with high mountains and dense forests, and unknown dangers. Your son might not return. I specially kowtow three times to repay Mother's nurturing grace."

"Bang, bang, bang!"

After the boy finished speaking, with tears in his eyes, he knelt on the ground and heavily kowtowed three times to the woman.

"Son, get up quickly."

Seeing this, the woman, with tears welling up, took out a package from her bosom and placed it in the boy's hand.

"Mother knows your biggest dream is to become a strong cultivator. Mother supports you. These are Mother's lifelong savings. Buy a few fast horses so you don't miss the disciple recruitment assembly's time."

The woman held the boy's hand, her eyes filled with reluctance.

But she knew her son's ambition, and even if she was reluctant, she had to support him.

"Thank you, Mother, your son is leaving."

The boy bowed again, then turned and left with a resolute expression, leaving only the woman's worried gaze.

In a luxurious room in a brothel in a certain city.

A handsome Heavenly Soul Realm youth looked affectionately at a heavily made-up Core Condensation Realm girl before him, "Sister Lian, I'm going to participate in the Qingtian Sect's disciple recruitment. I'll come back to see you after I join the Qingtian Sect."

After speaking, the youth walked towards the door, ready to leave this captivating place.

The girl in front of him was his beloved. Although their love had only begun last night and lasted only one night, he had invested genuine feelings.

However, to participate in the Qingtian Sect's disciple recruitment assembly, he could only abandon this emotion.

"Brother Duan, wait!"

The girl, with a tender expression, called out to the youth and placed a Storage Ring in his hand.
