Soon, the Talent Stone shone brightly. However, Lin Long's expression turned ugly because it was the lowest level of talent, green.
In other words, his talent was the lowest level? Lin Long frowned.
"Low level talent. You can enter our Dan Yang Sect's outer sect." The old man nodded and said the same thing again.
After spending more than two hours, the test finally ended. In total, there were more than 50 people who had activated their innate talents.
Most of them had low level talent. Only three of them had intermediate talent. There was not a single high level talent. As for divine talent, there was not a single one.
The old man on the stage couldn't help but shake his head when he saw this.
It was obvious that he wasn't satisfied with the results.
"Only those who have activated their talents can enter our Dan Yang Sect and become outer sect disciples. Those who didn't pass, you can go back now." The old man looked at the crowd and said.
Hearing this, those who didn't pass could only leave regretfully.
"All of you, follow your Senior Brothers below to find a place to stay. As for the specifics, someone will arrange it tomorrow." After saying that, the old man left.
Several Dan Yang Sect disciples brought the group of 50 people to a house in the Dan Yang Sect to stay.
Outside the Dan Yang Peak, most of the people living there were outer sect disciples. Only when they went deeper in would they see the inner sect disciples.
After staying for a night, someone called them to gather in an empty space in the middle of the house the next day.
A middle-aged man stood in front of them. After glancing at them a few times, he said, "My name is Huang Ling. From today onwards, I will be your teacher."
"Master Huang!" Everyone immediately greeted respectfully.
"En." Huang Ling nodded in satisfaction and said, "Since you have been discovered to have talent, the sect will definitely let you consume the fierce beast bloodline. However, due to the small amount of fierce beast bloodline, you will have to queue up … Of course, the four disciples with intermediate talent are different. They are more talented than all of you, so they are qualified to consume the fierce beast bloodline first."
"They are qualified to consume the fierce beast bloodline first!" The four people were naturally overjoyed when they heard that.
Huang Ling continued, "The four disciples who tested with intermediate talent yesterday, come out. Later, you will follow me to the inner sect to collect the fierce beast bloodline."
"Thank you, Master." The four of them said happily.
"As for you other disciples, you have to wait patiently. Of course, if you have enough points, you can also purchase a Ferocious Beast Bloodline in the sect. However, with your abilities, if you can't stimulate your cultivation talent, I'm afraid you won't even have enough points to buy a Ferocious Beast Bloodline when you're old." Huang Ling said.
"Master, can we buy it with money?" Someone asked.
"That won't do. The sect rules state that you must use points to buy it. Moreover, points cannot be exchanged, so don't think about buying points from others." Huang Ling explained.
"Is that so." Hearing his words, a few people could not help but feel a little disappointed.
Obviously, these families all had some money.
"Alright, you guys wait here … The four of you, follow me." After saying that, Huang Ling led the four mid-grade talents into the inner sect.
Watching the four of them leave, the disciples were naturally envious and jealous.
It seemed that they would have to wait for a period of time. However, they did not know how long they would have to wait. Lin Long frowned and thought to himself.
Previously, he had inquired in the market square of Fu An City, but he discovered that there was no Ferocious Beast Bloodline for sale. Even if there was, he could not afford it given the price of a Ferocious Beast Bloodline.
Just as he was thinking, a voice came from the side. "Big brother, how should I address you?"
Linlong turned his head and realized that it was a youth around 16 or 17 years old. Among the 50-odd people, Linlong appeared to be the oldest. As for this youth, he was ranked second. The others were all younger than the two of them.
"My surname is Lin, and my name is Long." Lin Long said indifferently.
"Brother, my surname is Guo, and my name is Tiezhu." The other party said respectfully.
"Guo Tiezhu, huh." Lin Long nodded his head. Although the other party was called Tiezhu, he did not look like a wooden person.
At this moment, Guo Tiezhu suddenly looked around and said in a low voice, "Big brother Lin, are you going to obediently wait for Master Huang to call us to collect the Ferocious Beast Bloodline?"
"If I don't wait obediently, is there any other way?" Lin Long couldn't help but ask.
"You don't know about this. Dan Yang Sect is the most powerful sect in the vicinity. They have recruited quite a number of disciples in the past year. Of course, this is normal …"
"However, something abnormal has happened. The amount of Ferocious Beast Bloodline is getting lesser and lesser. I heard that a disciple who was recruited a year ago has yet to collect a Ferocious Beast Bloodline."
Guo Tiezhu said.
"Oh, there's such a thing?" Lin Long couldn't help but be surprised. If that was really the case, he didn't know how long he would have to wait.
"Even if it's not true, it's not far from the truth. In short, you just need to know that there are more people than Ferocious Beast Bloodlines. If we wait obediently, I'm afraid we will have to wait for a long time before it's our turn … Moreover, as you can see, those with outstanding talents will have more opportunities." Guo Tiezhu said.
"Since you said so, do you have another way?" Lin Long asked.
"Many people know about it." Guo Tiezhu said.
"Oh?"
"That is to give the mentor some benefits. Every mentor will have a certain amount of Ferocious Beast Bloodline at a certain time. With his authority, he can choose those he likes and let those people have the opportunity to collect the Ferocious Beast Bloodline first … If someone gives him benefits, he will naturally give that person a chance first." Guo Tiezhu lowered his voice when he said that.
"Are you telling the truth?" Lin Long frowned.
"Of course. I have a friend who entered the Dan Yang Sect half a year before me. He used this method to collect the Ferocious Beast Bloodline first and successfully stimulate his cultivation talent. Otherwise, who knows how long he would have to wait?" Guo Tiezhu said.
"If that's the case, why did you tell me about this? If you secretly bribe Master Huang, wouldn't there be no one like me to compete with you?" Lin Long asked.
"Ahem, to be honest, I don't have much money on me. I want you to help me a little, so I told you about this method," Guo Tiezhu said awkwardly.
"Then why are you so sure that I will help you? And why do you think that I have money?" Lin Long couldn't help but size him up.
"Big Brother Lin, even though I'm younger than you, I'm quite good at reading people. I believe that if you have money, you'll definitely help me. Of course, if you don't help me, then I can only blame it on my bad luck … As for the fact that you have money, I can tell just from your temperament that you're not the kind of child who doesn't have money. Children who don't have money are like those few over there." As he spoke, Guo Tiezhu pointed at a few youths not far away.
Those youths looked scared of strangers, and they were wearing ordinary clothes.
"I didn't expect you to be so experienced at such a young age," Lin Long couldn't help but say.
"Big Brother Lin, to be honest, I have been living in Fu An City since I was young. I thought that I would never be able to cultivate for the rest of my life. Who knew that I would be able to stimulate my talent this time?" Guo Tiezhu said.
Seeing that Guo Tiezhu wasn't lying, Lin Long nodded. "Alright, if it's possible, I will help you."
It would be difficult for him to buy a beast bloodline with the money he had, but it shouldn't be a problem for him to restore a teacher.
"Thank you, Big Brother Lin … Big Brother Lin, if you tell me to go east, I will definitely not go west!" Guo Tiezhu said as he patted his chest.
"Alright, how do you think we should bribe Master Huang, and how much money should we take out?" Lin Long asked.
"According to what my friend said, everyone just needs to take out 10,000 Cang Cloud Coins," Guo Tiezhu said.
"Is that so …" Lin Long nodded and asked, "How much do you have?"
"Me? I still lack 2,000 Cang Cloud Coins," Guo Tiezhu said hurriedly.
"Alright, I will help you pay the 2,000 Cang Cloud Coins," Lin Long said.
"Thank you, Big Brother Lin." Guo Tiezhu immediately shed tears of gratitude.
Lin Long then said, "The sooner the money is given, the better. But it seems that Master Huang won't be coming today, so let's find a chance to pay him tomorrow."
"Alright." Lin Long nodded.
Soon, it was the next day. At the same time the next morning, Huang Ling gathered them again.
"While you wait, I will teach you the Dan Yang Sect's outer sect martial art, Tablet Shattering Palm," Huang Ling said.
Then, he began to explain the formula of Tablet Shattering Palm.
Outer sect martial arts, as the name suggested, were martial arts that could be practiced even without activating one's cultivation talent. Although this martial art could not be used against beasts, it was still easy to deal with ordinary people.
In Nanzhou Town, there were a few ordinary people in the Lu family who had mastered this outer sect martial art. Since Lin Long could use the Energy Enhancement Pill, he was naturally not interested in this martial art.
However, since he had nothing else to do at this moment, he decided to ponder over this chant.
With his experience, he easily mastered the formula of Tablet Shattering Palm.
"Even though this Monument Shattering Palm is an outer sect martial art, it won't be easy for any of you to master it. Therefore, before your cultivation talent is awakened, you'd better practice it obediently. If any of you can master it, even if you don't awaken your cultivation talent after consuming the wild beast bloodline, you can still become an eternal outer sect disciple of our Dan Yang Sect," Huang Ling said.
"Master Huang, according to what you said, if we fail to activate our cultivation talent after consuming the Vicious Beast Bloodline, we will be kicked out of the sect?" Someone asked worriedly after hearing Huang Ling's words.
"Of course. Each of you will have at most two chances. If you can't activate your cultivation talent after two chances, and if you can't master the Shattering Monument Palm, the sect will kick you out directly," Huang Ling said with a serious face.
After hearing his words, those who had looked down on the Tablet Shattering Palm no longer dared to belittle it. They all began to study the formula diligently.
Even Guo Tiezhu did the same.
Huang Ling could not help but nod his head in satisfaction when he saw the expressions of his disciples.
"This Tablet Shattering Palm is not something that can be mastered in a short period of time. Familiarize yourselves with the formula for three days. Three days later, I will teach you how to use it!" Huang Ling said.
"Yes!" The disciples replied in unison.
"Alright, study it carefully." Huang Ling turned around and walked towards a house behind him.
It was a house specially prepared for Huang Ling to rest in. The decorations inside were many times better than those of the disciples.
After a while, Linlong and Guo Tiezhu walked towards Huang Ling's house together.
They soon arrived outside Huang Ling's house.
"What do you two want?" Huang Ling's voice came from inside.
"We don't quite understand some parts of the formula, so we came to ask Master," Linlong said.
"Sure, come in." Huang Ling said.
Linlong and Guo Tiezhu immediately pushed the door open and entered.
When they entered, they saw Huang Ling sitting on a chair with his legs crossed.
He clearly frowned when he saw Linlong and Guo Tiezhu. Linlong and Guo Tiezhu were obviously older than the others, so he did not think highly of them.
"What do you not understand? Ask away," Huang Ling said indifferently after sweeping a glance at them.
Linlong and Guo Tiezhu each took out a money pouch and walked over. Huang Ling's eyes immediately lit up when he saw the money pouches.
Although the sect had ordered instructors not to accept bribes from disciples, he would naturally accept it in a place where no one was looking. After all, this kind of thing had become a custom in the Core Yang Sect during this period of time.
"Master, this is Linlong's filial gift to Master," Linlong said as he handed over his money pouch.
"Master, this is Guo Tiezhu's filial gift to Master," Guo Tiezhu also handed over his money pouch.
Linlong's money pouch was obviously much thicker than Guo Tiezhu's, and the reason was naturally because he had put in a few thousand more Grey Cloud Dollars.
Guo Tiezhu naturally noticed this, but his lack of money was covered by Linlong, so he did not dare to express any dissatisfaction.
After weighing the two's money pouches, Guo Tiezhu nodded in satisfaction. "The two of you are quite tactful. I'll remember this."
"Thank you, Master," Linlong and Guo Tiezhu immediately said.
With that, the two of them left. Linlong did not have any questions regarding the Monument Shattering Palm.
As for Guo Tiezhu, he had been thinking about bribery during this period of time and did not have the time to ponder over the Monument Shattering Palm.
As the two of them said that they wanted to ask about the Monument Shattering Palm, no one was curious about them when they returned. They only thought that they really wanted to ask about the Monument Shattering Palm.
After three days, Huang Ling began to teach them how to use the Monument Shattering Palm.
Seeing that the four people with intermediate talents who had left previously had not returned, Linlong asked Guo Tiezhu, "Have they already activated their talents?"
"Although they are more talented than us, they might not be able to awaken their cultivation talents in one go. The reason why they did not return is probably because they were assigned to another place with those with higher talent. Even if they fail once or twice, their chances of obtaining the ferocious beast bloodline again are higher than ours," Guo Tiezhu said.
"Is that so." Linlong nodded.
Unknowingly, a few more days passed. On the fifth day, someone actually came looking for trouble.
