After Fang Ruotang returned, she quickly announced the news within the sect, and disciples began to arrive at Spirit Beast Peak to select suitable teammates.

This is inherently a two-way selection process, just like sword cultivators entering the Sword Tomb to choose their natal sword. Swords with sword spirits will also choose cultivators.

The same applies here.

However, after several days, not many people have paired up.

The sect elders and their outstanding direct disciples have mostly cultivated for decades or even centuries, and almost all of them have three or five friends. At this moment, they are all busy contacting their friends and recruiting people into their ranks!

Most of the disciples who remained in the sect were disciples of the Tianyi Sect, many of whom were only at the Qi Refining stage, or even below the Foundation Establishment stage. These demonic beasts, on the other hand, were at least Demon Generals, so how could they possibly be interested in such humans and form contracts with them?

If a contract is truly signed, it would be a definite form of poverty alleviation.

Fang Ruotang had no objection to this result. In any case, her Tianyi Sect would continue to recruit people in the future, it was only a matter of time. Moreover, she did not want low-level cultivators to contract with high-level demonic beasts.

She was also afraid something might happen.

After all, she couldn't stay with these disciples all day, protecting them from behind.

Even if something happens, it will be too late for her to take revenge later.

During the two days they spent in the Tianyi Secret Realm, Gu Yanjin and Ye Wuxia returned. Cui Shixu, true to his word, didn't say anything.

But Fang Ruotang wasn't good at lying, or perhaps Gu Yanjin and Ye Wuxia knew her too well. She just nervously glanced at Cui Shixu a few times in front of them.

Ye Wuxia's gaze swept back and forth between the two of them.

He asked with a light, harmless smile, "Has your wife and Wuxia become estranged in just a few days? Or... do you and him have a secret I don't know about?"
