Before the second opening, Lin Feng was already mentally prepared. Even though he was recruiting from all over the world, the quality of the students was 80% worrying.
Not to mention the Taixu Temple and the Shu Mountain Sword Sect, the Great Zhou Dynasty and the Great Qin Dynasty also had their own talent bases, used to cultivate outstanding cultivators outside of the imperial family. Especially outstanding people, other than core dao techniques, the resources and treatment were not worse than the imperial family members.
The others, such as the Reincarnation Sect, Heavenly Sword Sect, Northern Militant Imperial Court, Purple Sky Dao, Celeritas Sword Sect, Canghai Sword Sect and so on, including the already destroyed Tianchi Sect, the Huo family, Shi family, Yu family, Lei family, these large families were no exception.
No matter which family, they would all absorb large amounts of talent within their own sphere of influence, screening all kinds of young people with cultivation talent several times.
Many good seedlings just showed a little bit of potential and were immediately recruited.
So Lin Feng did not have high hopes for the probability of a talented disciple from the beginning. His idea was to use quantity to make up for quality. Relying on the huge population base, even if the probability was a little low, there would still be a lot of talents.
To put it bluntly, he was trying his luck, picking up a few scraps.
But a month had passed, the situation still made Lin Feng a little dumbfounded.
There really weren't many people with the total value of the four potential that could be looked at. Not counting those with no talent, those with some talent were mostly average talents.
Based on the current assets of the Celestial Sect of Wonders, Lin Feng is confident that even if these people with mediocre talent, establishing a foundation in 50 years shouldn't be too big of a problem. But the resources that need to be invested are simply too much, there is no cost-performance ratio to speak of, just thinking about it makes one's flesh ache.
For example, when the first opening of the sect, there were good seedlings with a total value of 25, even though the number was small, it was still quite impressive.
Unfortunately, there were very few that made people's eyes light up.
As expected, the various small and medium-sized families within the Great Qin Dynasty contributed most of them, they were all the top disciples of their respective families.
But there were also many that Lin Feng looked down on. After all, he can see the four aspects of root bone, comprehension, will and fortune, and normal people mostly only look at root bone when judging talent, because this thing is more intuitive and convenient to quantify and compare.
There were very few people who could judge one's comprehension and will, not to mention one's luck.
After all, Lin Feng and Xuanmen Tianzong were currently at the peak of their powers. There were many people who wanted to be their disciples. Unfortunately, the probability of them catching Lin Feng's eye was much lower.
With such a huge number, there wasn't a single one over thirty.
"Alright, the requirement of 30 is too high, but at least 27 or 28 isn't too much, right?" Lin Feng shook his head and laughed. "This is the second time I'm opening the mountain gate. Don't make too much noise."
That being said, Lin Feng was actually quite confident. Why? That was because he had already picked up a talent to build his foundation, so he didn't have to worry about having surplus food at home.
This person was naturally Dao Yuting.
With the destruction of the Tianchi Sect, her master-disciple relationship with the Tianchi Sect was naturally dissolved. This allowed Lin Feng to see her stats.
Root bone: 8, comprehension: 8, will: 8, and fortune: 5.
The total value of the four reached 29, almost reaching 30. Root bone, comprehension, and will all reached 8. Except for the average fortune, she was simply impeccable.
Although she was only a little short of 30, her future achievements could already be expected. This girl had already been listed as a key training target by Lin Feng.
Average fortune? If he couldn't get good things by himself, then he would just have to rely on the resources of the sect to make up for it.
Lin Feng himself had a card up his sleeve, but most of the others didn't know.
Although there were many talents among the people who came to be apprentices, there were only a few with amazing talents. Many people even faintly felt a little happy.
It couldn't be helped. In the battle of Xiling City, Lin Feng's light was too dazzling. His disciples Shi Tianhao and Yue Hongyan respectively defeated Shi Tianyi and Bai Xiqian, which was also eye-catching. In this kind of situation, Xuanmen Tianzong's overall strength continued to expand, which would make many people feel uneasy.
The Great Qin Dynasty and the Great Zhou Dynasty didn't play any tricks on Lin Feng's opening of the sect this time, and even cooperated. But to say that Stonefeather and Liang Pan wished Lin Feng good luck in opening the sect, that would be a complete lie.
With Lin Feng in charge, Xiao Yan, Shi Tianhao, and the others continuing to grow, and then if the sect's grassroots strength was further strengthened, everyone really felt that they were looking at the rise of another cultivation holy land.
Even the Northern Militant Imperial Court, the Purple Sky Dao, the Celestial Sword Sect, and the Sun Moon Sword Sect, which had always been on good terms with the Celestial Sect of Xuan Men, felt that it was a pity for the legislation, but at the same time, they also felt a bit relieved.
As the saying goes, dragons don't make friends with snakes. It was very difficult for people of completely different levels to become true friends. Even if they became friends, as the distance continued to grow, the friendship would eventually fade away one day.
Sometimes, it wasn't that the strong side despised the weak side. On the contrary, it was precisely because they were strong that they didn't care about how others looked at them.
Instead, it was the weak side that would become more and more embarrassed and uncomfortable under the criticism of others, until it hurt their self-esteem.
The momentum of Xuanmen Tianzong, or rather Lin Feng himself, was too fierce. Calculating in terms of the Vast Thousand World's time, in just a few years, he had reached the height where he could compete with Taixu and Shushan. While it was shocking, it also made people feel that they couldn't keep up.
It wasn't that they didn't want to change their thinking, adjust their attitudes, and put both sides in the right position. It was really that Lin Feng and Xuanmen Tianzong changed too quickly, and they were completely caught off guard.
It wasn't that they didn't want to change, but that the world changed too quickly for them to keep up.
Thinking back to when Xuanmen Tianzong first opened the mountain gate outside the Sand Continent City, the Heavenly Sword Sect's True Lord Ta Liang Tonghui and the Celeritas Sword Sect's Patriarch Qing Ai went to congratulate them, but they were only Yuanying cultivators.
But today, even Old Sword Immortal and Celeritas, who were Primordial Spirit Returning to Void powerhouses, didn't have the confidence to face Lin Feng.
Lin Feng was bored to death in the quiet room. The job of receiving new disciples was handed over to the disciples. When people came, he would use the detector to look at them from afar.
Those who were suitable would be kept, but they weren't officially accepted. They just passed the test and became candidates. Later, Lin Feng would give them an official test to eliminate those with ulterior motives.
For things like sand, it was enough to keep a few with high aptitudes who could be manipulated. There was no point in having more.
"Oh?" Lin Feng was slightly taken aback. A newcomer had rather outstanding talent.
"Eight root bones, eight perceptivity, six will, and six blessings?" Lin Feng looked over and saw a delicate and lovable young girl standing in the courtyard. She looked timidly at Xiao Yan and Yue Hongyan who were in charge of receiving her.
"All four values are not bad." Lin Feng paid some attention. The total value was twenty-eight points. Her root bones and perceptivity were both eight points. Her innate physical conditions were considered very good. Her will of six points was slightly ordinary, and her blessings of six were sufficient.
Overall, her potential was very high, but he needed to spend some effort to ensure that her potential could be effectively converted.
But what made Lin Feng a bit surprised is that the little girl has dao technique cultivation, and she has shockingly already reached the qi disciple great perfection realm.
"This age …" Lin Feng's interest was piqued. He carefully observed for a moment, the little girl was only eleven or twelve years old, about the same age as Jun Zining, maybe even a little younger, but her cultivation level was higher than Jun Zining's.
Both sides had the same talent, but the gap in cultivation base was not small. Jun Zining was from the Jun Family of the Ancient Yuantian World. It was a family with a Primordial Spirit family master. It was not much worse than the Yu Family and the Huo Family.
This little girl's cultivation base was higher than Jun Zining's at the same age. In other words, she was almost better than Xiao Yan back in Wuzhou City.
This showed that the cultivation base and resources she had enjoyed since childhood were better than Jun Zining's, and many times better than Xiao Yan's in his youth.
Such a person came to be apprenticed to?
She really did not have a master. Was it because her family passed down the cultivation base, or did she have ulterior motives?
Xiao Yan and Yue Hongyan also looked at the little girl with some surprise. After the two looked at each other, Yue Hongyan asked, "What is your name?"
The little girl replied, "Junior Zhuge Wanqiu greets the two seniors."
"You have learned cultivation base before?" Yue Hongyan continued to ask. Zhuge Wanqiu nodded and said naturally, "I learned from my father."
Yue Hongyan asked, "Where is your father?"
Zhuge Wanqiu's expression was slightly gloomy. "My father said that he was going to the Void Battlefield. He was afraid that it would be dangerous to bring me there, so he asked me to come here to be apprenticed to him."
Xiao Yan suddenly asked, "Why did your father ask you to come to Xuanmen Tianzong?"
Zhuge Wanqiu answered, "My father said that the master of Xuanmen Tianzong is protective. If I am apprenticed to Xuanmen Tianzong, no one will dare to bully me. Even if he goes to the Void Battlefield, he can rest assured."
As soon as this was said, Xiao Yan and Yue Hongyan both had a strange expression on their faces. Lin Feng in the quiet room was even more stunned.
After a long while, Lin Feng came back to his senses. He laughed and shook his head. "Mister Zhuge, you are really something."
Yue Hongyan looked Zhuge Wanqiu up and down and made the same judgment as Lin Feng. To have such a cultivation base at such a young age, the cultivation base and resources must be extraordinary. So he asked, "May I know your father's name?"
Zhuge Wanqiu nodded. "My father's name is Zhuge Zhan."
Xiao Yan and Yue Hongyan's eyes flashed with confusion. They had never heard of this name.
Lin Feng came to a realization. "So it's him. No wonder he asked his daughter to come to me. He is a protective person."
Lin Feng had heard of the name Zhuge Zhan, but he did not know much about him. This man was a wandering cultivator and did not have a fixed residence. However, his magical power was extremely strong. As a wandering cultivator, he managed to cultivate to the Primordial Soul Unification Realm. He was very famous in the circle of Primordial Soul Cultivators in the Divine Land. He was considered a top figure among the wandering cultivators.
However, he had a strange personality. He was moody and extremely protective. He once went against the Tempest Temple a hundred years ago in order to protect his son who made a mistake.
Now, he threw his daughter to Lin Feng. The reason was that Lin Feng was just as protective as him.
Lin Feng shook his head and laughed: "The problem is that we've never met before. But since you trust me, I naturally won't bury your daughter. Of course, the prerequisite is that she can pass my test."
After accepting Zhuge Wanqiu, they waited for a few more days. When Lin Feng saw that it was almost time, he immediately announced the start of the second Opening Ceremony.
In the southern sky outside West-Hill City, a sea of purple clouds emerged. The White Jade Fairy Mountain emerged from the void.
Those who wanted to be apprenticed followed Xiao Yan and the others to the outside of West-Hill City. They all stared blankly at the miraculous scene in front of them.
