"It's what you want," Zheng-Fu said with a smile at Lu-Bei and did not say anything further than that.
"It's what I want?" Hearing that, Lu-Bei's face grew even more suspicious. He did not know what Zheng-Fu meant, even if he tried to think about it many times.
"Yes! You want strength, don't you?"
"Yes, why wouldn't I want it? And this little pill can make me stronger?" Hearing Zheng-Fu's words, the previously suspicious look on his face changed to excitement.
"Try it yourself, then you'll know. But let me tell you first, if you eat it, you may die. So, you should make a good decision. But if you can endure it, you'll get what you want," Zheng-Fu explained further for Lu-Bei to understand. But Zheng-Fu was a good guy and did not like to prank anyone, so he told Lu-Bei like that to make it look scary.
"I'm not afraid of death. As long as I can become stronger and be able to protect the kingdom, I'll be willing to eat it even if I die," Lu-Bei replied very firmly and steadfastly that if what Zheng-Fu gave him could increase his strength, even though there was a chance of causing him to die, he would take a risk.
"That's good. As for the ancient ruin, you'd like me to help defeat the monster beasts, right? But I can't go now. I still have things to do. Besides, my people are close-door cultivating, so I can't go anywhere this month. I hope you understand.
But you don't have to worry. I'll give you a spelled talisman to use in defense during this time."
Flop!!!
"Um... I understand. Thank you so much for helping me and this kingdom. In a month, hopefully, those monster beasts won't come out yet," Lu-Bei understood Zheng-Fu well and what Zheng-Fu said. Everyone had their own business, and Zheng-Fu's business involved many people as well.
"After another month, I vow to immediately go to the capital and help you eradicate all those monster beasts," Zheng-Fu firmly promised Lu-Bei, smiling happily as he thought of the many Immortal Soul stage monster beasts that Lu-Bei had told him about.
"Alright! I'll wait for you in the capital for another month, and I'll become stronger with this pill you gave me, I promise," Lu-Bei promised as well.
"Um… You must have traveled tired, so rest first. Make yourself at home. I still have work to do, so I'll excuse myself. Ah! If you want to wander around the sect, I'll give you a special privilege. But don't secretly flirt with girls.
Ha ha ha!" finished speaking, Zheng-Fu suddenly vanished, leaving Lu-Bei at the pavilion with ten guards standing around the lotus pond.
"I don't know how to thank you. But I promise that if you have any trouble, I'll gladly help you, even at the cost of my life!" Lu-Bei said after Zheng-Fu had left because he was unable to speak in front of Zheng-Fu in time, and every word really came from his heart.
After coming out of the guest house that had been prepared for Lu-Bei, Zheng-Fu immediately returned to the sect's main mansion to arrange the plan for the recruitment of new disciples that would be held in the next two days, to see how his people were progressing.
Inside the main mansion…
Whoosh!!!
At this time, no one had leveled up after Elder Hai-Tu's promotion. Everyone was intent on absorbing the energy to the fullest. But with the short amount of time that had passed, they could only level up to this extent. But one month from now, they would definitely improve and level up a lot.
"Everyone tried so hard. I've got to try hard as well."
After seeing everyone's progress, Zheng-Fu went back to his study room and immediately started drafting the rules for recruiting new disciples this time.
Two days had passed quickly…
At a tavern within In-See City.
"Hey, did you hear the news of Beyond Earth Sect recruitment?"
"This bastard asks something stupid. Their news is so renowned, who wouldn't have heard that!?"
"Right now, there are so many people waiting to apply. I think I'll go ahead and try to apply as well."
"I think so too. I heard that there is no limit on the number this time. If anyone can pass the test, they'll immediately become a disciple of Beyond Earth Sect."
"Really? I can't wait. If that's the case, I must hurry."
After two days had passed, Zheng-Fu ordered the prime disciples to immediately bring his new disciple recruitment announcement to post at the front of the sect. In just a few breaths, the news quickly spread through the city like a fire spreading through the fields.
And the news spread far and wide to neighboring cities and distant cities. Many people in Blueland wanted to become disciples of the Beyond Earth Sect because the Beyond Earth Sect already had two Divine Emperor stage identities. Even the disciples from the big sects wanted to resign from their former sects and apply to become disciples of the Beyond Earth Sect.
But since it was against the rules of Martial Arts World, they could not resign from their sects unless they were expelled or their sects allowed them to leave.
But which sect would allow their disciples to resign? They had built the sect for a long time and had their own history. Therefore, if there were no disciples to continue to inherit, their sects would surely be forgotten and lost over time.
After news of the Beyond Earth Sect's recruitment of new disciples spread, the big sects immediately called for an urgent meeting regarding dealing with the matter that their disciples would ask to leave the sect and apply to become disciples of the Beyond Earth Sect.
In addition to the big sects, the big clans also had movements as well. But they were in the opposite movement, as they were not martial arts sects. They were just the clans with martial arts skills who could train their junior generations in martial arts. However, their training was not as expert as in the sect.
Therefore, this news made the big clans very glad because they would send their younger generations to become disciples in the Beyond Earth Sect, which could build a reputation for the clans in the future. Their clans might have more power within the sect, too.
But for whatever reason, Zheng-Fu had already set up all the tests. If anyone could pass them, that person was considered qualified. But if anyone did not pass, they had to wait to apply again next time, which they did not know when.
At the entrance of the Beyond Earth Sect…
Hey!!!
"Get away, puppy. How dare you come in front of me!?"
"I… I'm… I'm sorry, I didn't mean to."
"Huh...? Is that the one-eyed bastard of Vulture Valley?"
"Really, why did he come here? Or is he going to apply to become a disciple of the Beyond Earth Sect?"
"I think it might be as you said. Everyone wants to be a disciple of the Beyond Earth Sect."
"But looking at his personality, I think..."
"Huh!!! Stupid Turtle Kid, what were you talking about just now?" the young man with a blind eye and a big figure shouted at the young man in front of him fiercely, as he used his single eye to sweep at the people around him without fear of anyone. There was a scar that looked like a claw scratch on his blind eye.
"I… I… I…"
"If I look at you, so what? Do you have any fine things for me to look at? A blind eye, lots of scars, nothing worth looking at all! I'd rather look at a dog than at you," suddenly, a mocking voice rang out as a handsome young man dressed in a light green martial artist robe with a saber on his shoulder stepped out of the crowd before stopping in front of the big, blind young man.
"You! Damn you, turtle kid! Do you dare insult me?" The big young man felt extremely furious after hearing this light-green-robed young man's words.
"I insulted you, so what? What can a person like you do to me? You're just the sixth level of the Golden Core stage cultivator, but you think about fighting me? Insolent!" the light-green-robed young man continued to insult the blind young man even though the other party acted like he was going to fight. That was because his energy level was higher than the blind young man's.
"Your energy level is higher, so what? You're also not much higher than me, sweet-faced bastard!" the big, blind young man was not afraid of the light-green-robed young man either. Although the opponent's energy level was higher than his own, he knew that it was not much higher.
With his immense strength, the one-sided blind young man thought that he had a chance to defeat the other if he could capture him. And if he could not capture him, he still had a trump card in his hand.
Ahem!
Huh...?
At that moment, a faint cough interrupted the two who were about to collide. This soft cough made the people waiting to pry, including the two young men, turn to look at the owner of the voice at the same time. And the person who coughed was none other than Zheng-Fu.
"If you guys would like to fight, I don't mind. But if you delay and do not come to register, I'll assume that you renounce your rights today," Zheng-Fu said with an irritating smile.
Tsk!!!
"Later!" the young man with a blind eye and a big figure cursed a single word before walking away reluctantly.
"Aye! I'll wait. Don't forget to take it back later, you bloodthirsty blind thug," the light-green-robed young man, seeing that the other party had retreated, immediately mocked him happily again before walking towards the registration point. But before reaching there, the light-green-robed young man stopped in front of Zheng-Fu and spoke up.
"Thank you so much, Senior, for coming to separate us. But next time you don't have to do this," when he finished speaking, the young man immediately walked away with an arrogant expression because he could sense that Zheng-Fu's energy level was lower than his.
"People tend to judge others from the outside, never looking from the inside. Some have a hateful face but a beautiful heart, different from someone who is good-looking but has a bad heart," Zheng-Fu said after the young man had only walked away a small distance. And his words were loud enough for everyone around him to hear.
Huh...?
"Those words are fine. But it'd be better if someone would learn to estimate themselves," the young man spoke up again before walking away.
Everyone around him knew exactly what Zheng-Fu's words meant and who they referred to. And everyone also knew that a good-looking, well-dressed young man's mind was very different from his looks. In addition to threatening others, he did not respect anyone either.
"Hmm... Such a sharp-tongued one! Well… I'd also like to know if you would still be so sharp after you entered the Beyond Earth Sect," Zheng-Fu greatly admired this young man for his reckless courage to speak to him like this, while Zheng-Fu was wearing the inner disciple robe like everyone else.
