Chapter 156 - The Power of the Sect (3) (1/2)

The first day went smoothly as expected. Aside from the shock that the people received at the start, it went uneventful the rest of the day. At least, that's how Yi Ling thought it was.

She had only let her son do most of the judging. She would only speak some words, when Muxin found some person that was worth keeping. Yes, Muxin was watching them as well. No one knew aside from her, Minzhe and the Elders that Muxin was observing everything.

Out of the one thousand plus guard applicants, only 400 people returned successful at the end of the day. Since they didn't have any time limit, it went on until dusk. They were all accepted but would still undergo further test. To see who was whose giving high rankings or not. None the less, the 400 guards celebrated that night.

On the Blacksmith side, out of six hundred blacksmiths only 50 passed. That was how strict Minzhe was. He had learned blacksmithing with his Father. Everything that Muxin knows, he had taught it to Minzhe. Back when he was a General, Muxin certainly didn't know blacksmithing. It was only until Meiling passed away that he needed to find something worth making the time pass by. He had learned quite a bunch of skills through out millions of years. He had already mastered most of everything in this land.

With Linyu and Haoran's side, they were able to pass 80 cooks. It might sound so many, truly it wasn't. Not when the Sect is hiring this many people. Most of the people that they were going to hire were low cultivators. Hunger was evident in their lives.

On the second day, Yi Ling was more active.

She personally judge the Doctors herself, Linyu and Haoran handled the Alchemists while Minzhe, Qianru and Tefei handled the servants. As usual, Xiang He only sat down. He was only there to observe and to act to any distruptions. Being the Emperor and The Sect Master's Direct Disciple, he was the one who was tasked on maintaining order.

Luckily, the second day went smoothly as well. Yi Ling was able to hire 100 doctors, out of 300. The Alchemists had 80 out of 200 and the servants were 500 out of 1500. There were more applicants for servants since they didn't have much requirements.

But all of this wasn't final yet, they were all still going to have a second test once they arrived inside the Sect.

It wasn't until the third day that it went chaotic.
