In the deep valley, a few clan elders stood in a straight line with great respect.
Behind them were eight-hundred young boys and girls, carefully holding their breaths while looking at Ji Hao.
The clan elder standing in the front had a wooden plate held in his hands. The plate was covered with a soft piece of leather, and a fist-sized pearl was placed on the plate. Inside the transparent pearl, a few clouds were faintly visible, with tiny spell symbols sparkling from time to time.
This was a pearl that Ji Hao asked Po to make for him. It didn't have too great of a function, but it could measure the innate strength of a person's soul. The eight-hundred boys and girls in front of Ji Hao were born with the strongest souls among the millions of children living in Yao Mountain territory of Ji Hao.
"Earl Yao!" Seeing Ji Hao, the few clan elders hurriedly bowed to Ji Hao, while the children behind them all kneeled and kowtowed.
"Hm!" Ji Hao raised his hands and released a gentle gust of wind to hold those children up. He carefully looked at these children from head to toe. They were indeed born with strong souls. Their eyes were bright and lively, and the light of wisdom deep in their eyes was even brighter and brighter.
Compared to the three-thousand children under Yu Mu and Shaosi's care, these children in front of Ji Hao weren't as strong as them, but they were much smarter. The three-thousand children had strong bodies, and could be cultivated into Senior Magi according to the traditional cultivation method of the humankind. These smart children were perfect for studying the mysterious and mysterious Dao created by Yu Yu.
The magic taught by Yu Yu focused on the primordial spirit instead of the physical body. Although the magic taught by Yu Yu was profound, it required a great power of understanding to study, and it was extremely hard to evaluate the power of understanding. Therefore, Ji Hao roughly chose children who were born with strong souls. Obviously, they had a higher power of understanding.
"In the future, every year, from the children under ten years old, eight-hundred with the strongest souls will be selected and sent here." Ji Hao pointed at the pearl on the wooden plate and said in a deep voice, "You will be in charge of this."
The few clan elders anxiously glanced at Ji Hao. The elder who was holding the wooden plate gnashed his teeth and asked carefully, "Earl Yao, these children, what do you want to do with them?"
Not only these clan elders, even the parents of these children were uneasy. These children selected by Ji Hao were all kids with strong souls. Among all kinds of magic, some of them required human souls to be used.
The elder who asked the question had spent quite a while trying to gain the courage to ask the question. But once the words came out of his mouth, his forehead was already covered in cold sweat. His legs suddenly softened and he kneeled on the ground, tremblingly kowtowing to Ji Hao and begging for forgiveness, "Earl Yao, I … I …"
Ji Hao didn't know whether he should laugh or cry, looking at these clan elders, who were all scared out of their wits. In this era, although bastards like Lie Mountain Xu existed, most of the human beings were still as simple and straightforward as these clan elders.
"I'll take them as my disciples!" Ji Hao held the elderly man's arms with both of his hands and helped him up from the ground. He looked at the elderly man, smiled and said, "I will teach them the 'magic' myself. They are my disciples, and I am their teacher."
Ji Hao pointed at those children who had been yelling and watching on the mountaintop, smiled and said, "What they are learning is a traditional magic created by the Magi Palace, which focuses on the physical bodies but not the souls. However, the magic I will teach you can only be learned by smart kids. The stronger the souls of these kids are, the higher achievements they can make in the future. Do you think that I will cultivate magic with the souls of my people? "
The few clan elders were stunned at first, then they were overjoyed!
The three-thousand children were selected and taught by Shaosi and Yu Mu themselves. The parents of these lucky kids had already been envied by countless clansmen.
But these eight-hundred kids were actually lucky enough to be taken as Ji Hao's disciples by himself?
The disciples of Earl Yao Ji Hao, these kids would definitely be the candidates for Ji Hao's trusted subordinates in the future.
Thud! The few clan elders kneeled down again, excitedly kowtowing to Ji Hao. A clan leader gave a shout, following which, those kids all kneeled down on the ground and kowtowed to Ji Hao.
Emperor Shun's assistant, who stood aside, couldn't help but grin and sigh. The three-thousand kids were learning the traditional magic of the Magi Palace, and in the future, they could become important ministers under Ji Hao's command. But these eight-hundred kids were learning the secret magic taught by Ji Hao himself, and they would definitely become Ji Hao's trusted subordinates.
Important ministers and close ministers, both were ministers, but the meanings of the two were totally different.
"These kids are so lucky." This assistant couldn't help but praise silently.
"Alright, alright, remember, every spring, from all kids under ten years old, carefully select eight-hundred and send them to me." Ji Hao looked at the bustling Yao Mountain City construction site in the distance and said confidently, "In the future, at least a million more children will be born in our territory every year. In the future, the number will increase more and more. You have to choose carefully."
The few clan elders grinned excitedly, then respectfully walked out of the deep valley.
Ji Hao crooked his hand towards the eight-hundred kids, telling them to line up in four orderly lines and follow behind him.
Walking forward along the valley for over ten miles, Po and Luo Shan saw a small cave under a cliff, which was covered in green moss. Po and Luo Shan sat under an enormous wisteria in front of the cave with their legs crossed, and had been explaining to Luo Shan the few difficulties involved in absorbing natural powers and circulating power through meridians.
Ji Hao walked over with the eight-hundred kids. Po dropped the book, smilingly looked at Ji Hao and said, "Ji Hao, how come you have time today... So many kids? What do you want to do? "
Po's eyes sparkled. He had guessed what Ji Hao wanted to do, but he didn't think that Ji Hao would make it so big.
"Brother, from now on, they will all be my disciples. Unlike those kids, I am going to teach them the method of cultivation. " Ji Hao solemnly bowed to Po and said, "Brother, today, please be my witness. I will take them as my disciples, and please, brother, give them the basic cultivation method of our sect."
Po paused for a while, then abruptly leaped up from the ground and swiftly walked around these kids selected by Ji Hao for a few circles.
A long while later, Po pinched his fingers, then solemnly bowed to the sky and incanted a few words. A fierce gale suddenly rose from the ground, fluttering Po's long robe. Po laughed out loud, then seriously nodded to Ji Hao and said, "This is good. When my Shifu took you as his disciple, you were only an insignificant human being... If you want to take as many disciples as possible and expand our sect, no one can find fault with you."
Po waved his hand and released a clear stream of light. Within the light, Yu Yu's silhouette emerged.
Ji Hao stood in front of Yu Yu's silhouette. At first, he solemnly kowtowed to Yu Yu himself, then under Po's lead, the eight-hundred kids kowtowed to their Shifu, then kowtowed to Ji Hao one after another, officially becoming Ji Hao's disciples.
Looking at those kids, who were standing orderly in front of him, Po couldn't help but laugh out loud.
While laughing, Po couldn't help but shake his head to Ji Hao as well. He felt that he had so many brothers and sisters in his sect, but taking eight-hundred disciples all at once, this was way too extravagant. Only Ji Hao could do this, right?
Cultivators paid particular attention to the word 'fate'. Ji Hao had never opened the door to recruit disciples from all over the world!
