Lowering one's expectations meant choosing the sect with the lowest grade. Not being half-hearted meant that one would only make one choice.
If Lu Ye's understanding was correct, this was what Pang Dahai meant when he said that to him.
The key question now was whether he should trust him or not!
After thinking for a moment, Lu Ye made up his mind. He put down the brush in his hand and handed it to the cultivator with the handlebar mustache. "Senior Brother, I've made my choice."
The man with the handlebar mustache raised an eyebrow. "Aren't you going to think about it?"
Lu Ye lowered his head to take a look. "There's no need."
His innate talent was frighteningly low. It would be useless even if he chose another sect. Instead of that, he might as well pin his hopes on the Jade Blood Sect. There was no need for Pang Dahai to make fun of him. After all, he had given him two ores.
"Alright." The man with the handlebar mustache nodded. He put away Lu Ye's' choice 'and jade token. He lowered his head to take a look. "So, you're that Lu Yiye."
"I'm Lu Ye, Senior Brother!" The corner of Lu Ye's eyes twitched.
"I know, Lu Yiye!" The man with the handlebar mustache looked at him with a smile. He emphasized the word 'one'.
Lu Ye wanted to curse. He had a nickname even before he came out of the Jianghu. How was he going to survive in the future?
Also, who was the one who spread the word about his talent as a One-leaf cultivator?
A moment later, the man with the handlebar mustache collected everyone's choice. He shot into the sky and turned into a streak of light as he headed to the mountainside in the east.
There was a group of palaces there. It was originally the residence of the Evil Moon Valley cultivators. At this moment, it had become the Grand Heaven Alliance's temporary office. Cultivators kept coming in and out. There were also piles of confiscated resources waiting to be distributed.
He did not stop along the way and went straight to the deepest palace. A female cultivator was standing guard at the entrance of the great hall.
When the woman saw him, she asked, "Is it done?"
The man with the handlebar mustache replied, "It's all here."
"Leave it to me. The lords are discussing the retreat. When they're done, I'll submit it to them."
"You're retreating just like that?" The man with the handlebar mustache was clearly surprised.
The female cultivator said, "The reaction of the Myriad Devil Ridge is faster than expected. Several sects are already gathering people, so we have to leave here quickly."
The mustached man nodded in understanding. Although there were many people from Haotian Alliance, this was the territory of Myriad Devil Ridge after all. Once they fought again, Haotian Alliance could continuously send more people. By then, the situation would be disadvantageous to Haotian Alliance.
The Evil Moon Valley had been destroyed, and they had reaped a lot of benefits. So, it was natural for them to quit while they were ahead.
After handing the stack of papers to the woman, the mustached man quickly left.
The female cultivator waited outside the door for a while before she heard a vigorous voice from inside, "Bring it in."
Hearing this, she immediately pushed open the door to the main hall.
There were only 10 people in the hall. They represented the 10 Sects that had come to attack the Evil Moon Valley this time. The one in the lead looked awe-inspiring and dignified. He was Pang Zhen from the Vitality Sect and also the Deputy Chief of the Haotian Alliance. Among all the people present, he had the highest cultivation, at the Spirit Sea Realm.
The woman came in front of Pang Zhen and respectfully put down the stack of papers in her arms. She said, "This disciple will take her leave!"
After she left, Pang Zhen then flipped through the stack of papers in front of him, took out a piece, and then pushed the rest to the person in charge of the Green Jade Sect.
For Lu Ye and the others, every piece of paper here carried their future and dreams. But for people like Pang Zhen, these things were not worth looking at carefully.
Every time they conquered the territory occupied by the Myriad Devil Ridge, they would rescue some people. It was just a matter of agreement to select some of these people who had the aptitude and talent for cultivation.
Each of them had thousands of disciples. If their aptitude and talent were not particularly outstanding, no one would take a second look at them.
Among Lu Ye's group, there was obviously no one worthy of their special attention.
The stack of more than a hundred pieces of paper was passed in front of the people in charge of each sect and slowly became fewer. When it reached the person in charge of the Hundred Flowers Valley, he had selected more than ten people and was about to push it to the next person when he suddenly seemed to have discovered something novel. He looked up at the old man sitting at the end of the table and said, "Elder Tang, someone chose the Jade Blood Sect."
As soon as this was said, Pang Zhen, who was giving some instructions to the person in charge of the Green Jade Sect, could not help but look up, "Really?"
He had just casually selected one person from the hundred or so people and had not carefully looked at the others.
The others also looked surprised, and someone even laughed, "There are still some people in this group who have discerning eyes …"
It was as if choosing the Jade Blood Sect was an extremely great thing.
At the end of the table, the one who was called Elder Tang was the old man who had taken Lu Ye out of the mine.
Elder Tang was also surprised when he heard this. Although the Jade Blood Sect had participated in many such operations, they had never been chosen, even if those who were rescued had three chances to choose.
The Jade Blood Sect's grade was too low. Anyone who had even the slightest bit of ambition would not choose it.
Although he was surprised, Elder Tang still waved his hand, "The Jade Blood Sect does not accept disciples. You all know that." If it were not for the Alliance's rules, the Jade Blood Sect's name would not have appeared on that piece of paper.
When the person in charge of the Hundred Flowers Valley heard this, he said, "I'm afraid that won't do, Elder Tang. He only chose the Jade Blood Sect. Furthermore, no one else chose the Jade Blood Sect."
Elder Tang looked surprised and stretched out his hand, "Let me see."
Elder Tang took the rest of the papers from the person in charge of the Hundred Flowers Valley and looked through them carefully. In the end, he found that it was as he had said. The person who chose the Jade Blood Sect had only made one choice.
"Lu Ye …" Elder Tang looked at the name on the jade token and immediately remembered the young man he had met in the mine. He was even more surprised that it was actually him.
The person in charge of the Hundred Flowers Valley said, "According to the Alliance's rules, the Jade Blood Sect must accept this person in such a situation."
There was indeed such a rule in the Alliance. The Grand Heaven Alliance gave those who were rescued three chances to choose. However, if they only used one chance, the chosen sect would have to accept that person. The prerequisite was that no one else made the same choice. This rule was meant to give those who were wholeheartedly pursuing the Dao a chance. Among the various great sects, only a few people in charge knew about this. The rescued slaves definitely did not know about it.
"This little fellow …" Elder Tang felt somewhat helpless. Lu Ye's choice of the Jade Blood Sect seemed to be very difficult for him.
"Elder Tang, it's time for the Jade Blood Sect to accept a disciple," the person in charge of the Hundred Flowers Valley advised. The representative from the Hundred Flowers Valley advised before changing the topic. "Although this little guy has opened one chakra, his talent seems to be passable."
"What does it matter if his talent is poor? Talent is not everything. You have cultivated for so many years. Can't you see this clearly?"
"Have you seen the talent of a one-leaf cultivator?"
"This is too weak. How did he open one chakra?"
"However, since he's made this choice, the Jade Blood Sect has no room to refuse."
"I'm just worried about the Pill Heart Sect …"
At the mention of the Pill Heart Sect, everyone fell silent as though they had mentioned something that was difficult to mention.
"The rules are the rules! If the Pill Heart Sect has any objections, tell them to come to me! " Pang Zhen, who had been silent all this while, finally said, "Elder Tang, you should accept him. Although a one-leaf cultivator's talent isn't worth nurturing, we should protect the Jade Blood Sect first. This might be an opportunity."
Elder Tang held Lu Ye's jade token in his hand. After a long while, he said, "I'll think about it."
