Another thing that tempted him was the ubiquitous recruitment brochures in the market square!
There were all kinds of high and mighty sects, Misty Immortal Sect, Jade Emperor Peak, Clear Tushita Palace, Sky Piercing Peak, and so on. It was as if this place was the center of cultivation in the universe!
Want to learn? Want to join a sect? You have to pay a price, right? There were all kinds of unimaginable test conditions, difficult but barely achievable. You need to spend some time, and of course, all kinds of fees came with it...
This set seemed to have formed a huge industrial chain in his previous life! Although he wasn't too clear about the details, he understood the basic structure. Ten sects, ten scams!
In other words, it was impossible for the sects of this cultivation world to recruit people in this kind of environment!
In Hu Yong's words, those rare Blessed Lands had very limited spiritual opportunity resources. The first to be recruited were the second and third generations of cultivators, followed by the descendants of their relatives and friends in the cultivation world. Finally, they would look for children around ten years old in the mortal world, all of whom had outstanding aptitude for cultivation.
How could they recruit fully grown adults like them, who were basically a pack of wolves?
It wasn't that the sect was scamming, but that someone was using the sect's name to scam!
Even though he knew it was a scam, it was like walking on a recruitment street, with wild shouts constantly ringing in his ears.
"Northern University Recruiting, 300 points to enter!"
"Qing Hua Discount, 250 points to come quickly!"
"Southern University Vomiting Blood, as long as it's a person!"
"Lan Xiang Education Regardless of Background, as long as it's not a person, spirit stones will do!"
"Southern University Sunset Class, as long as you can still crawl and breathe..."
It was really tempting. In any case, it wasn't too expensive. If he gave it a try, who knows, he might meet a really good recruit?
The scammers saw through the minds of the rogue cultivators!
Lou Xiaoyi quickly walked past these fervent gazes. He finally had a deeper understanding of what it meant to be a cultivator.
In the center of Phoenix Mountain Market Square was the original Phoenix Market. The original merchants would usually rent out their shops in this kind of situation instead of continuing their business. This was because their goods could not be compared to these outsiders. Whether it was in terms of price or quality, there was no comparison. Instead of standing here for a few months without selling anything, it was better to rent out their shops and earn a considerable amount of rent. That was a good deal.
This was the sect business that the stall owner had told him about. It was targeted at high-end customers. Those who wanted to pick up the bargain would not come here because the stall owners were all experts!
The first shop that Lou Xiaoyi saw had a newly made curtain outside the door. The words "One Yuan" were written on it.
Presumably, this was the name of a certain cultivation sect, but the specific country it belonged to was unknown. The purpose was that although you knew that there was a sect called Yiyuan in this world, you would never be able to find it. You wouldn't even know which country it was in, and you wouldn't even know if it was in the North, South, East, or West.
Lou Xiaoyi straightened his face and was about to step in when a young man with an excellent demeanor reached out to stop him.
"Our shop only entertains Foundation Establishment seniors. Visitors are declined. Thank you!"
Lou Xiaoyi was startled and immediately understood. He was not angry. You are just an ant. What right do you have to be angry?
He turned around and walked two steps, then turned back.
"Is our Yiyuan Sect still recruiting this year?"
The young man was also startled, but his reaction was very quick. "It's Yiyuan Temple, not Yiyuan Sect! We are not recruiting this year. Small sects and small households are overcrowded. If you want to enter, aren't there so many big sects outside recruiting? "
He emphasized the words big sects and big sects. The meaning of ridicule was obvious. A smart person would of course understand. If they were stupid enough to persist in going about things the wrong way, then they deserved to be cheated!
Lou Xiaoyi was not disappointed. It was within his expectations. He went to the second shop and was rejected …
This was the characteristic of a sect's shop. They did not accept those lame mouths loose cultivators. Not to mention that they did not have the ability to spend, they looked very carefully and their mouths were big. They wished that the whole cultivation world would know the things in your shop. It was very annoying.
Obviously, the restriction of Foundation Establishment and above was just an excuse. In fact, the real restriction was loose cultivators. As long as sect disciples showed their origin, Qi eating disciples could also enter. Moreover, this kind of people was the majority.
This was a difference in treatment, but Lou Xiaoyi was still not dissatisfied. In the cultivation world, weakness was the original sin. If you were still dissatisfied, then you were weak and stupid. There was no saving you!
However, there were always orthodoxies that believed in fairness. Among the hundreds of shops in Feng Huang Mountain, there were ten or so. Some of them required you to show your wealth. Most of them were limited to a hundred low-level spirit stones. Among them, there were three that were Dafa. They did not need anything and there was no one guarding the door.
Lou Xiaoyi was in such a shop. It was called Li Shi Tian and occupied the largest building in the entire market. From this point of view, its strength must be among the best in this low-level cultivation world. The limelight was not something that every orthodoxy could achieve. It needed strength as a backing.
If a big sect like Li Shi Tian did the same thing, people would say that you were full of spirit and had the temperament of a leader. If it was a small sect, people would say that you were overestimating yourself and puffing yourself up at your own cost.
This was also a double standard.
The style of the market was different from that of Xian Lai Town at the foot of Crane Mountain. Li Shi Tian's shop did not only provide index catalogs. The real things were hidden away. This was too petty and showed that they lacked confidence.
The things were placed on long circular tables. There was no glass cover separating them. However, the onlookers still could not casually pick them up. This was because there was a layer of protection. If they reached their hands out, they would feel a prickling sensation.
It was because Li Shi Tian did not have any scruples that there were many rogue cultivators gathered here. Among them, there were many who were willing to fork out spirit stones to buy. Rogue cultivators could not be underestimated. With such a large number of people, it was not difficult to find some who had some wealth. Li Shi Tian's style also satisfied the rogue cultivators because they were respected.
This was also a way of business!
Lou Xiaoyi had already stayed here for ten days. He wandered around the shops of the ten or so sects. He did not want to stay here. He wanted to wait a few months until the market was over. He wanted to find a target, complete the transaction, and leave immediately. This was the right way to go. Otherwise, in a place like this, the longer you stayed, the more things you wanted to buy. If you did not spend all your wealth, you would not be able to leave!
In the end, he chose this shop. It was not only because of the variety of goods here, but also because of the more considerate way of doing business here.
