Chapter 9: The Use of the Jade Token (1/2)

Fu Zhong sighed and paused for a while before continuing.

”Little brother, I won't hide it from you. In those sects, top-grade spiritual roots can directly enter the inner sect. As for the outer sect, the treatment of high-grade spiritual root disciples is often much better than medium-grade spiritual root disciples.”

”How about this, Little Brother Jiang Li? I, Fu Zhong, only feel pity for you. If you can convince your friends to stay in the Immortal Ascension Pavilion, I will make the decision to give you the treatment of a high-grade spiritual root disciple. How about it?”

Jiang Li was stunned, and then he glanced at Yan Hong before he cupped his hands and bowed to Fu Zhong.

”Thank you for your offer, Senior Fu… I'll try my best.” He lowered his voice as he spoke the second half of his sentence, as if he really wanted to persuade Yan Hong to stay.

Fu Zhong was obviously very satisfied. His already small eyes narrowed into thin lines.

Jiang Li glanced at the wooden sign hanging on his body and smiled before Yan Hong stood together.

From the Scaled Demon incident, he could see that the Immortal Ascension Pavilion was most likely involved in human trafficking.

He and the other soon-to-be cultivators were similar to the Scaled Demons. They were products that could bring these people benefits.

However, this Fu Zhong's genuine attitude made him feel much more at ease.

It could be seen that Spiritual Roots above the medium-grade were attractive to the Immortal Ascension Pavilion and other sects.

However, even though he was in their territory, the other party did not force these newbies with potential to join him. Instead, he used such a tactful method to persuade them.

This meant that there must be some kind of rule restricting them, preventing them from doing whatever they wanted to the helpless kids.

The greatest possibility was the other sects in this region.

These cultivators were all elites who had lived for hundreds or thousands of years.

Even if it was just for convenience, the job of finding and recruiting Immortal Cultivators was handed over to the more professional Immortal Ascension Pavilion.

It was impossible for them to not set sufficient restrictions. Otherwise, every time they recruited disciples, the best disciples would be taken away by the Immortal Ascension Pavilion. In less than a hundred years, the entire cultivation world would be ruled by the Immortal Ascension Pavilion.

Very quickly, half an hour had passed. The Spirit Testing Array had exhausted its energy and was extinguished. Among the remaining eight people, not a single one was able to fill up the Spirit Testing Bead.

What was worth mentioning was that among the eight people, Yan Fengyue, who was also the woman responsible for the original Jiang Li's death due to his peeping, had a lonely expression on her delicate mixed-blood face. The assistant beside her casually hung a wooden sign with a low-grade spiritual root.

Jiang Li also glanced at her. At this moment, the other party was holding onto the wooden tablet tightly, and her gaze was intentionally or unintentionally sweeping towards them. No one knew what she was thinking.

She thought that she was a great genius and had been sought after by countless people since she was young. After she tested her spiritual root aptitude, she thought that she was going to reach the peak of her life. She did not expect to have a low-grade spiritual root.

On the other hand, Jiang Li, Yan Hong, and Li Baichen, whom she had looked down upon previously, possessed talents that far surpassed hers.

This made her so jealous that she was going crazy, but there was nothing she could do about it. She could only accept reality as she started to plan for the future.

”Yan Hong and Jiang Li have a very good relationship. One of them has a high-grade spiritual root while the other has a dual-attribute medium-grade spiritual root. If they work together, they will be a very strong group among this group of people.”

”Yan Hong and I are both from the royal bloodline of the Great Goose Kingdom. Jiang Li tried to woo me before. Although he was beaten up because of me, he can't blame me for that. As long as Yan Hong speaks up for me, I can act pitiful and make him fall in love with me again.”

”If I can join them, with the help of Yan Hong and that idiot Jiang Li, perhaps in the future…”
