Early in the morning.
It was still dark outside.
In Qingzhou.
The Qingyun Dao Sect.
It was an unrated sect.
It did not even have a grade and it was the kind of sect that could disappear at any time.
Today, in the main hall.
At this moment, the only seven disciples of the Qingyun Dao Sect were all very nervous and excited.
The reason being that the Sect Leader had already sent a letter three days ago to inform them that the Qingyun Dao Sect was about to welcome its eighth disciple.
Yes, they were about to welcome a new Junior Brother.
Perhaps for other sects, adding new disciples was a very common thing.
However, for the Qingyun Dao Sect, adding a new disciple was as difficult as ascending to heaven.
Sects were just like the forces in the mortal world. The first thought that most cultivators had when joining a sect was to find a good sect to rely on.
Putting aside the fact that there were all kinds of resources, even without resources, the stronger the sect, the safer it would be.
The disciples of small sects could only grit their teeth if they were bullied.
The disciples of large sects would have the support of the sect if they were bullied.
That was also the reason that many new cultivators would choose to join stronger sects.
Those large sects would never look down on new cultivators. Instead, they would take extra care of them.
No one was a fool, and no sect would be so arrogant as to not want new disciples to join.
That was also the reason that the strong sects would become stronger while the weak sects would become weaker.
A sect like the Qingyun Dao Sect might not have a new disciple for several years.
Now that they heard that there was a new disciple, how could the entire sect not be excited?
How could they not be happy?
In the main hall of the Qingyun Dao Sect.
Seven figures were sitting in the main hall.
There were five men and two women, with the men on the left and the women on the right.
At this moment, the seven of them all seemed a little nervous and excited.
However, at this moment, the first man on the left spoke up and broke the silence in the main hall.
"Junior Brothers and Sisters, this time, Master has recruited a new disciple for the Qingyun Dao Sect. This is a joyous occasion."
"However, considering the previous factors, Master has repeatedly reminded us not to be too enthusiastic in the letter. Don't let this little Junior Brother think that we are useless and that our sect lacks manpower."
"Therefore, we must be calm and put on the posture of an expert. As long as this little junior brother stays in our sect for a year, we can submit the third-grade sect's examination file."
The man sitting first on the left said.
The man was not very old, around twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old. He had sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes. Although he was wearing a plain robe, he gave off an indescribable feeling, as if he was a peerless swordsman.
It was Su Changyu.
The eldest Senior Brother of the Qingyun Dao Sect.
His voice fell.
The disciples nodded in agreement.
"We understand."
Their voices rang out in unison, and they answered very seriously.
However, after saying that, everyone fell into silence again.
But after a short while.
Another voice rang out, breaking the silence.
"Eldest Senior Brother, I can stay calm, but how do you think I'm going to deceive them? With our level of cultivation, I'm afraid we'll be easily exposed. "
The man who spoke was about twenty-four or twenty-five years old. He had delicate features and was frowning as he asked.
He was the second Senior Brother of the sect, Xu Luochen.
Xu Luochen seemed a little distressed.
He could stay calm and at most, he would just keep quiet. However, he really didn't know how to lie.
As soon as he said this, the rest of the Junior Brothers also revealed worried expressions.
They were still considered young, and although they had already been exposed to the world, they were still relatively simple and honest. They could trick others, but it would be awkward to lie.
The disciples were silent.
After a while, Su Changyu spoke slowly.
"Actually, Junior Brothers, you might have thought wrongly. The so-called deception was not a real deception, but rather a way to create the image of an expert. Master has explained in the letter that our new Junior Brother is a complete novice and doesn't know how to cultivate at all."
"We just have to exaggerate a little in the areas that we're good at. For example, I'm good at the Sword Dao, so I'll let him comprehend the Sword Dao that he can't comprehend at all. Junior Brother Luochen, you're good at alchemy, so teach him some alchemy techniques that are impossible to achieve."
"Although we'll be discovered sooner or later, it shouldn't be a problem to drag it out for a year. After a year, the Qingyun Dao Sect will be qualified to submit the dossier. Once we advance to the third rank, we'll have good days."
Su Changyu couldn't hide the smile on his face at the mention of advancing to the third rank.
"Senior Brother, we understand now that you've said that. Anyway, we're just going to lie to him for a year. After a year, if he finds out and finds it hard to accept, we'll let him leave on his own."
"If he's willing to accept it, the Qingyun Dao Sect will be lucky enough to advance to the third rank and he'll be able to enjoy it too. No matter what, we won't owe him anything."
Xu Luochen said with a look of certainty.
He was consoling himself. After all, it was still a lie at the end of the day.
However, there was nothing they could do about it. The Qingyun Dao Sect was too poor and they had no choice but to do so for the sake of the sect's livelihood.
"Senior Brothers and Senior Sisters, don't worry. Maybe this Junior Brother is a rare genius. He knows everything we teach him. If that's the case, we won't owe him anything. "
The youngest Junior Sister said.
She comforted everyone so that they wouldn't feel guilty.
However, her words made everyone smile.
'Rare genius?'
To be honest, what kind of genius would a disciple who could join the Qingyun Dao Sect be?
Would it really be the Qingyun Dao Sect's turn to be a genius?
Not to mention the entire immortal world, there were many major sects in Qingzhou alone. Not only would they hold the Grand Immortal Ascension Meet to select disciples every year, they would also send many of their disciples to look for people with immortal affinity.
In other words, they would recruit both good and bad geniuses to the sect. Anyway, it wouldn't cost them anything and they wouldn't have to give them many resources. What's the loss?
Hence, the probability of small sects recruiting geniuses was almost zero.
So what if there was a phoenix in a chicken coop?
When the other immortal sects heard the news, they would immediately try to rope him in. They would first throw resources at him and then use their power to pressure him. In the end, they would even send some beautiful female disciples to seduce him.
Honestly speaking, who would be able to stand up to this?
Hence, the possibility of the Qingyun Dao Sect recruiting a genius was zero.
Unless a miracle happened.
"Okay, if nothing goes wrong, our Junior Brother will be here at noon tomorrow. Let me remind you one last time."
"Stay calm! Stay calm! You must stay calm! You must always act indifferent. The more you do that, the more he will believe you. Besides, no matter what he does, you must belittle him. Even if he really has some talent, you must belittle him to the point that he's useless. "
"Besides, we don't have to take the initiative to look for this Junior Brother. We have to let him take the initiative to look for us. So, we have to do what we have to do next, understand?"
Su Changyu emphasized again.
"We understand."
No one had any objections and they all nodded their heads.
Just like that, the seven of them gradually left the main hall.
