There was quite a commotion in the Inherited Martial Hall.
Naturally, it attracted the attention of the other experts in Yuan Sect.
When Zheng Fang and the others arrived, they saw Qin Shujian sitting in the main seat. His expression was calm, and no one could tell what he was feeling.
"Sect Master, what happened just now?!"
Zheng Fang looked at the bronze pillars and the four walls in the Inherited Martial Hall. They were covered with cracks and looked like they would break at any time. He was shocked again.
One had to know.
Although the Inherited Martial Hall was not a spiritual weapon like Cold Mountain City, it was still very sturdy.
To cause the current situation.
He only needed to think about it to know what kind of terrifying attack it would be.
As for Niu Feng and the others.
At this moment, their faces were filled with shock.
Qin Shujian waved his hand and said, "It's just a God Martial Arts Realm cultivator who came to assassinate you with the Heavenly Decree. I've already settled the matter. Don't worry about it."
"This is my fault. Please punish me, Sect Master!"
Zheng Fang suddenly bowed and asked for forgiveness.
This time, he, as the Grand Elder, was in charge of the recruitment of guest elders.
Now, such a problem had occurred.
He also had something to do with it that was difficult for him to get rid of.
Qin Shujian said calmly, "It's not your fault. Let's forget about it for the time being!"
"Thank you, Sect Master!"
"I wonder if the results of the competition in Cold Mountain City are out?" Qin Shujian did not mention what had just happened. He then looked at Shen Yuqing and Zhang Tieniu.
Hearing this.
The two of them looked at each other.
In the end, Shen Yuqing cupped his hands and said, "This time, there are a total of seven Upper Grade Blacksmiths and three Middle Grade Blacksmiths. They all hope to enter Yuan Sect and become guests!"
Then.
Zhang Tieniu also said, "This time, there are a total of thirteen people who completed the Sect Master's request. Twelve of them are Upper Grade Array Masters and one is a Middle Grade Array Master. They all hope to become guests of Yuan Sect."
"Middle Grade Array Master?"
Hearing this, Qin Shujian's eyebrows twitched slightly, and he looked a little surprised.
He knew how powerful the array he had set up was.
Even if he deliberately went easy on them, it was still not something that an ordinary array master could contend against.
According to Qin Shujian's speculation.
Those who passed the assessment this time should be high-grade array masters. Now that there was a middle-grade array master mixed in, he couldn't help but be curious.
"What's his name?"
"His name is Zuo Jin, and he's from a declining family that specializes in formations."
"Left?"
Qin Shujian muttered the name to himself, memorizing it.
Shortly after.
He opened his mouth again and said, "Let them come to the Martial Inheritance Hall to see me!"
"Yes!"
— —
Inside the Chengwu Hall.
Twenty-three people stood there in two groups, and the scene was somewhat calm.
When everyone looked at the main seat, there was an undetectable reverence on their faces.
Among these people.
There were experts in the Spirit Martial Realm.
There were also experts in the God Martial Arts Realm.
However, without exception, they were all blacksmiths or formation masters, and they were extremely passionate about this path.
Qin Shujian was a grandmaster in two fields.
The news had already spread far and wide.
The reason why they were willing to join the Yuan Sect was that there was a grandmaster in two fields in the Yuan Sect.
A grandmaster in one field!
He had reached the peak!
He could be regarded as the peak of one field. He was the goal that others yearned to pursue, and the existence that they should respect.
"Everyone here is outstanding in this competition. To put it bluntly, your skills in Forging Dao and Formation Dao are among the upper echelons in Beiyun Mansion."
Qin Shujian said with a faint smile.
"I welcome you to join the Yuan Sect. Now there is a Casting Hall in our sect, and anyone who is proficient in casting can join. I wonder if you have any objections?"
In the end.
His gaze landed on one of the teams of ten.
Hearing this.
The ten people all cupped their hands and said, "We have no objections."
"Good!" Qin Shujian nodded. When his Spiritual Eye swept over, everyone's attributes appeared in his eyes.
Although everyone's loyalty was different, it was different.
But there was one thing in common.
That was, there was no negative loyalty.
To this.
He was quite satisfied in his heart.
Since there were no negative Loyalty Points, it meant that there were no traitors here. Qin Shujian valued these technical talents quite a bit.
After all —
It took a lot of time and effort to cultivate an upper-grade Casting Master.
Even if he preached to people every day as a grandmaster.
He might not be able to produce an upper-grade Casting Master in a few years.
Moreover.
Qin Shujian did not have so much time.
When the others felt a chill, he said again, "The Casting Hall Master is the referee of this competition, Elder Shen Yuqing. When you leave the Inherited Martial Hall, someone will lead you to the Casting Hall."
"We will take our leave!"
Qin Shujian's words were very clear. The others were not tactless people. After bowing respectfully, they directly left.
For them.
As long as they entered the Casting Hall, they would naturally have time and opportunity to meet this grandmaster in the future.
After the Casting Hall left.
Only then did Qin Shujian's gaze fall on the thirteen formation masters.
Suddenly.
Many people felt a great pressure.
After a while.
He then said, "Now the sect has not opened the Formation Hall, but today, with all of you joining, the Formation Hall has been opened. The position of the Hall Master is equivalent to that of an inner elder.
As for the position of the Hall Master — "
At this point.
Qin Shujian paused.
As for the others, although they still looked calm, they were very excited in their hearts.
The meaning of the other party's words.
No one would not know.
If they could become the Formation Hall Master, they would be considered to be in the upper echelons of Yuan Sect. This was simply a step to the sky.
However —
Although they were excited, they did not interrupt Qin Shujian.
Everyone wanted to be the Hall Master.
But it was not a position that could be taken by just anyone.
If one was not good.
It might even cause a negative impact.
"Three days later, I will personally hold a competition. The only winner will be the elder of the Formation Hall. The rest of the people can be the Formation Hall's consecrators with the same status as the inner deacons."
"We will obey the Sect Master's order!"
"Alright, you all can leave for now. Someone will arrange the follow-up matters for you."
"We will take our leave!"
Everyone cupped their hands and left.
When Qin Shujian spoke just now, he also used his Spiritual Eye to check the attributes of these people. No one's loyalty was negative.
However —
However, he took another look at the man named Zuo Jin, whom Zhang Tieniu had mentioned.
Just a simple look.
It was hard to see too much. It was just an impression left in his mind.
To be able to stand out in the competition as a middle-grade Formation Master.
In addition to proving the other party's strength, it also proved that the other party's foundation and talent in the Formation Dao was also beyond the reach of ordinary people.
Such a person.
If cultivated, he could be a good helper.
Now that things had come to this.
It was finally over.
"Next, the sect should be quiet. There will be no possibility of opening the mountain gate for a long time in the future." Qin Shujian secretly shook his head.
This time, a large number of disciples were recruited in the mountain gate opening.
In a short period of time.
This was the last time Yuan Sect opened the mountain gate.
After all —
So far, Yuan Sect was a top sect with more than 20,000 people. In terms of the number of people, it could be called the largest sect in Beiyun Prefecture.
Such a number of people.
It had already reached a saturation point.
If they continued to recruit people.
A sect with 50,000 or 100,000 people was no longer as simple as a sect. It was comparable to the power of a feudal lord.
In this way —
The Imperial Court would probably not be happy about it.
Even Marquis Beiyun's side.
They would also be afraid of Yuan Sect.
Once it aroused the suspicion of the imperial court.
They would either dispel the suspicion or wait for the day when the enemy came.
So far —
Qin Shujian did not intend to be enemies with the imperial court. Although Yuan Sect was now a top sect, it was only a comparison in the cultivation world.
If Yuan Sect was placed on the opposite side of the imperial court.
There was no need for anything else.
As long as two or three Celestial Beings took action, they could easily wipe out Yuan Sect.
When the time came —
Even if he, a Formation Master, could escape unscathed, the foundation of the Liang Mountain Spirit Domain would be completely destroyed.
Of course.
In addition to avoiding arousing the suspicion of the imperial court, it was also because Yuan Sect had improved too quickly, causing the realm of the disciples to be uneven, and they also lacked top experts.
That is, if Qin Shujian, the Array Master, was not included.
They would also abandon the guests.
The most powerful beings in the Yuan Sect were only a few Airborne Realm cultivators.
With such strength —
Leading a sect of more than 20,000 people was undoubtedly a very difficult task.
Therefore —
Combined with the current situation of Yuan Sect, Qin Shujian had already decided to let Yuan Sect slowly digest and steadily improve the strength of the sect. Only then would he consider the next step.
As for harvesting the source of life —
With the original number of Yuan Sect disciples, they could normally contribute 50,000 to 60,000 source of life every day.
Now, the number of people had almost doubled.
It was not to say that the amount of source of life would double, but it could at least increase by 30 to 50 percent.
And when the strength of these people was further improved, the amount of source of life they contributed would also increase by several times.
In general —
Yuan Sect had now reached a saturation point in all aspects, or it had reached the level that Qin Shujian had expected.
The only thing that was lacking —
It was a problem of overall strength.
As long as these were digested step by step —
Then Qin Shujian would have the confidence to say that three years of Divine Martial Arts, ten years of Celestial Beings, twenty years of Celestial Beings, and so on.
30 to 50 years was a long time.
For his current lifespan of at least 1,000 years —
A few years or even decades was only a very small part of a long life.
Although Qin Shujian had not lived that long and could not fully understand the feeling of a snap of a finger, as his cultivation improved day by day, he gradually had a different kind of understanding.
