Xia Ziyun was just about to leave when she noticed a large group of people surrounding her.
The leader was a burly man dressed in plain robes, slowly walking towards Xia Ziyun.
"Foundation Establishment Expert..."
Xia Ziyun looked at the burly man's unconcealed aura, a little surprised.
She hadn't expected to encounter a foundation establishment expert so quickly.
"Miss, I am Lin Feng, the City Lord of Maple Cloud City. May I ask why you have caused such a commotion?"
Lin Feng looked at Xia Ziyun's pretty face, his eyes lighting up.
What a cold beauty!
"I'm here to recruit a Disciple, by order of my Sect Master."
Xia Ziyun wasn't too afraid. If something happened to her, that unreliable Sect Master would probably destroy Maple Cloud City.
Probably…
"Sect Master? May I ask which Sect or faction you belong to, Miss?"
Lin Feng looked at Xia Ziyun in surprise. There were only three Level Nine Sects nearby.
However, the strongest experts in their Sects were only at the Peak of spirit refining, and this woman's Supreme Divine Art was clearly that of a spirit refining.
Could it be a Sect from the Commandery City?
"Eternal Star Sect!"
Xia Ziyun said indifferently.
"Eternal Star Sect?"
Lin Feng was dumbfounded. He had never heard of this Sect before.
"City Lord Lin, I still need to report back to my Sect Master, so I won't stay long."
After Xia Ziyun finished speaking, she lifted her feet and left the spot.
Lin Feng didn't stop her. Instead, he asked the trembling waiter, "What is this woman's background? Did she say where the Eternal Star Sect is?"
"City... City Lord, she said it's about twenty li outside Maple Cloud City. As for anything else... this humble one doesn't know."
The waiter looked at Lin Feng in terror, a little afraid.
This was the City Lord... a foundation establishment expert, too terrifying!
"Twenty li? Let's go back!"
Lin Feng waved his hand, ordering the City Guard to retreat.
"Yes~"
"Luo Jun, you follow her and see what kind of background that Eternal Star Sect has."
Lin Feng said to a young man with spirit refining cultivator next to him.
"Yes, City Lord!"
The young man named Luo Jun cupped his hands in a bow and then chased after Xia Ziyun.
...
After Lin Feng left, the waiter began to exaggerate and promote it throughout Maple Cloud City!
"Everyone, come and see! The Immortal Maiden's Sect is recruiting Disciples! The address is about twenty li outside the city."
"You might even win the favor of the beauty, don't miss out!"
Boom~
The crowd immediately exploded into an uproar.
"What Immortal Maiden? Doesn't Maple Cloud City only have Black Tiger Gate, Mad Blade Faction, and Iron Fist Sect?"
"You don't know this? Not long ago, a beauty like a Heavenly Immortal came here, and her cultivation is even that of spirit refining!"
"What? A Heavenly Immortal? Are you joking? And a spirit refining cultivator? Such strength is only found in those Commandery City Sects, right?"
"That Immortal Maiden Sister actually has a Sect! Wow~ I must join the Eternal Star Sect!"
Word spread, and they had already started calling Xia Ziyun a Saintess. Under this commotion, thousands of people in the city went in the direction the waiter mentioned, which was truly terrifying!
...
On her way back to the Eternal Star Sect, Xia Ziyun felt an aura no weaker than her own following her.
"Is it Lin Feng's subordinate? Or..."
Xia Ziyun's eyes narrowed, and she couldn't confirm it immediately, so she sped up and ran back to the Sect.
No matter who it was, as long as she returned to the Sect, she would be safe. After all, the Sect Master was a Nascent Soul Great Cultivator.
"Interesting... did she discover me?"
Luo Jun watched Xia Ziyun speed up, muttering to himself, and followed suit.
Xia Ziyun looked at Luo Jun, who was hot on her heels, feeling annoyed. Why didn't she learn the Void Roaming Step before coming out!
Luo Jun had no intention of attacking. Since he was discovered, he would openly follow Xia Ziyun.
But thirty minutes later, when he followed Xia Ziyun to the Eternal Star Sect, he was a little dumbfounded. He couldn't take a single step onto the ninety-nine-level Rebirth Ladder.
Xia Ziyun finally breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Luo Jun, saying, "You're the person Lin Feng sent, aren't you? Go back and tell him that if he wants to understand the Eternal Star Sect, he should prepare a formal visit request!"
"Arrogant! How can a mere Disciple stop me? Mountain Shaking Fist!"
Luo Jun was furious upon hearing this. Yellow Spiritual Qi enveloped his right hand, and he slammed it towards the Rebirth Ladder.
As a result, it was useless; not even a ripple was stirred.
At this point, Luo Jun knew that this Sect was probably not simple. He looked at the three words "Eternal Star Sect" with apprehension.
He immediately reported this matter to Maple Cloud City. This matter was no small feat; he had to return quickly.
Xia Ziyun watched Luo Jun leave, her icy expression gradually softening, and she turned to walk towards the Sect.
Ye Han was in the main hall, cultivating the Xiaoyao Art with his eyes closed. He was still a rookie at Martial Master Third Layer.
His Supreme Divine Art was even lower than Xia Ziyun's. If he didn't Cultivate quickly, he would only be able to stay cooped up in this Sect.
Xia Ziyun entered the main hall and saw Ye Han with his eyes closed. She couldn't help but call out, "Sect Master?"
Ye Han immediately opened his eyes and asked curiously when he saw Xia Ziyun, "You're back already? How are things?"
Uh...
Xia Ziyun immediately felt awkward. How was she supposed to know how to recruit Disciples?
She just found someone to spread the word, gave the Sect's address, and came back. She was even followed on the way...
"Why aren't you speaking? Didn't you go?"
Ye Han couldn't help but say, looking at the silent Xia Ziyun.
"Uh... Sect Master, I had someone spread the word, as for how many people will come, Zi Yun doesn't know..."
Xia Ziyun lowered her head, a little embarrassed.
It was the first time Ye Han asked her to do something, and she had no idea of the result. It was simply a waste of effort!
"Forget it, even if someone comes, I doubt anyone can pass the Sect entry standard!"
Ye Han's words filled Xia Ziyun with curiosity. She looked at Ye Han and asked respectfully, "Sect Master, what is our Sect entry standard? Why are you so worried?"
"Four-star talent!"
"What?!"
Ye Han's words completely stunned Xia Ziyun. Four-star talent? These were Disciples that Holy Land rushed to recruit.
Are you sure you're not joking?
But looking at Ye Han's serious expression, her face became a little grave. Was it actually true?
"Sect Master, Zi Yun's talent doesn't even meet the requirement, so why..."
Hmm?
Xia Ziyun's words made Ye Han frown. She didn't know that her talent was pseudo-five-star?
"Your talent is pseudo-five-star, which meets the Sect entry requirement. Otherwise, I wouldn't have allowed you to join the Eternal Star Sect."
"Sect Master, Zi Yun's talent was indeed pseudo-five-star, but that was before. Now... I'm afraid it doesn't even have two stars..."
Xia Ziyun smiled bitterly and shook her head after hearing this.
"System, what's going on?"
Ye Han quickly asked the system. This was impossible. Why didn't the system mention her talent flaw before?
"Xia Ziyun's talent is indeed pseudo-five-star, but it seems to have been forcibly extracted."
Ye Han was a little confused after hearing this. Talent could be extracted? What kind of operation was this?
"Is there a way to remedy it?"
Ye Han asked the system. After all, she was the first Disciple, so he had to try his best to save her.
"Yes, once the system shop opens, there are many ways to restore one's talent."
Ye Han breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this. As long as it could be remedied, it was fine.
