Ink Bamboo said, "Your Highness, over the past few years, the Fire Cloud State has been recruiting disciples, but despite recruiting a lot of people, the quality is only average. The people in the Fire Cloud State who have the greatest chance of shining at the Luo Divine Hall trials are the Heaven Fire Hall's core disciples, such as Tian Shi, Ran Yu and Gu Luo. Just the amount of time they have spent cultivating in the Heaven Fire Hall has been more than sixty years. "
"These few people, especially Tian Shi, are the most famous. Over the past few years, Tian Shi has brought pride to the Fire Cloud State during the exchanges between the Fire Cloud State and the surrounding Luo clan disciples. He has been repeatedly praised by Marquis Fire Cloud. "
Marquis Fire Cloud was the person in control of the Fire Cloud State. The Luo clan had 196 states, and each state was controlled by a feudal lord.
There was competition between different feudal lords. The Fire Cloud State was neither high nor low among the 196 states. It was considered average, and in the usual martial exchanges, the Fire Cloud State's results could only be said to be alright. However, Tian Shi was a person who stood out from the crowd. He was one of the best even among the 196 states.
"I know of Tian Shi..." The Prince sighed slightly. "Even in the royal capital, there are rumors about him. It is said that Tian Shi's attainments in fire-elemental laws are impressive, and that he can even defeat geniuses who are above his level!"
Although the Prince was praising Tian Shi, he was feeling displeased. This was because Tian Shi was not part of their faction. The stronger Tian Shi was, the stronger the enemy.
In fact, not only Tian Shi, even Ran Yu and Gu Luo were closer to Prince Crimson Firmament. The reason was simple. These people had been cultivating in the Heaven Fire Hall for sixty years. How long had it been since Princess Purple Spirit was born? She hadn't even been in the Heaven Fire Hall for as long as she had!
Princess Purple Spirit had relied on her talent to become one of the successors. Of course, Empress Xuan's family background was not bad either. In order to help Princess Purple Spirit fight for the throne, many geniuses from Empress Xuan's family were sent to the Luo clan, so as to help Princess Purple Spirit gain a foothold.
The succession of the throne was not only dependent on talent, it also depended on one's heritage, prestige, and whether people were willing to follow. Hence, be it Prince Crimson Firmament or Princess Purple Spirit, they were recruiting more disciples and recruiting them into their own factions.
"Tell me about the disciples that recently joined the Heaven Fire Hall," Prince said again.
The senior disciples of the Heaven Fire Hall were most likely Prince Crimson Firmament's men. After all, Prince Crimson Firmament was the most likely successor to the throne at that time. Who did not want to cozy up to Prince Crimson Firmament? If they did, they would have a meteoric rise in the future.
When it came to choosing sides, once you had made your choice, you couldn't betray them. If you betrayed them halfway, you wouldn't be able to please either side.
Only new disciples could choose from two successors when they entered the Luo clan.
Fairy Black Bamboo said, "If it's new disciples, they still can't compare with the older disciples. Their cultivation time is too short, so they are greatly disadvantaged when it comes to laws. If we have to talk about rookies, Luo Fengling can be considered one of them. Her talent is not bad, but she has only been in the Heaven Fire Hall for five years. She has been cultivating very hard, but it's hard to tell what results she will have in the Luo Divine Hall trials."
Fairy Black Bamboo shook her head. The Luo Divine Hall trials were held once every sixty years. Luo clan disciples below the age of a hundred could participate.
Many Luo clan disciples would usually cultivate for seventy or eighty years before participating in the Luo Divine Hall trials in order to amaze the world at the Luo Divine Hall trials.
The accumulation of nearly a hundred years was no trifling matter.
Of course, the Luo Divine Hall trials were not simply a competition of strength. Being young also gave one an advantage in the final evaluation, but it was inferior to nomological insight and cultivation techniques.
"Are there no other new disciples?"
Empress Xuan needed to expand her faction, so the prince did not have high hopes for the new disciples to obtain any results at the Luo Divine Hall trials. However, the evaluation criteria for new disciples was different from the senior disciples. Even without any results, just showing potential in the trials was enough to gain the attention of the higher-ups. This would greatly augment Princess Purple Spirit's prestige.
"There are many disciples that can be fought for, but I believe there is no one that can catch the eye of Your Highness. However, if Your Highness does not request for the Heaven Fire Hall, I do have a pretty good candidate to recommend from the Earth Fire Hall."
"Earth Fire Hall?"
Upon hearing the name Earth Fire Hall, the prince was slightly stunned.
From the prince's point of view, the Earth Fire Hall only accepted second-rate disciples. Even the elites of the Heaven Fire Hall would find it difficult to obtain any results at the Luo Divine Hall trials, much less an Earth Fire Hall disciple.
He frowned and said, "There is actually an Earth Fire Hall disciple that can obtain results at the Luo Divine Hall trials? Who is he? "
Black Bamboo said with a smile, "I do not dare to guarantee the results, but if placed in the Fire Cloud State, excluding Heaven Shi, Gu Luo, and the other Heaven Fire Hall disciples who have cultivated for more than sixty years, this person is the best candidate among the new disciples. He is right in front of Your Highness."
As Black Bamboo said this, she looked at Yi Yun.
The prince and the 'Uncle Long' beside him also looked at Yi Yun.
The prince was somewhat surprised. He never expected that the young man who looked inconspicuous, who followed beside Fairy Black Bamboo, would be so highly praised by her.
"The best candidate among the new disciples?"
The prince sized up Yi Yun. "What's your name?"
"I'm Yi Yun." Yi Yun cupped his hands and said.
"Yi Yun …" The prince muttered to himself. At this moment, Fairy Black Bamboo had already transmitted her voice to the prince, informing him of Yi Yun's fire-mining actions in the Fire Spirit Palace.
The prince's heart stirred when he heard this. "Oh? There's such a thing? To be able to obtain the recognition of the Spirit of the Earth Fire upon entering the Fire Spirit Palace, and even obtain the Earth fire from a senior Earth Fire Hall disciple, that is indeed not bad. "
The prince nodded. In fact, a figure like Yang Zishan was nothing in the prince's eyes. Yang Zishan was just an Earth Fire Hall disciple, and compared to a figure like Tian Shi, it was like the difference between clouds and mud.
Hence, the reason why the prince used 'not bad' to describe Yi Yun was mainly because Yi Yun was young and had cultivated for less than thirty years. He had a promising future ahead of him.
"What a pity. If you had waited another sixty years, you would have cultivated under me for sixty years. When you are close to a hundred years old and participate in the next Luo Divine Hall trials, you should be able to obtain good results. You have yet to mature, but this Luo Divine Hall trials are just too important. Emperor Luo's passing of the throne might not be able to wait until the next Luo Divine Hall trials. I have soldiers and generals, so I have to use them all. You can be considered as a spot. Just do your best! "
