Chapter 29: Making Good Connections
Huang Jinyu received a task.
Although she was already an inner disciple who could receive a monthly salary, she was used to completing tasks, so today she came to take a task as usual.
The task she received was to serve as the guide for this activity of opening up the school and recruiting disciples.
It seems to be a very interesting task, worth doing for everyone.
Huang Jinyu launched a Taoist fellow recruitment post on the main forum section, recruiting enthusiastic Taoist fellows to participate in the activity of recruiting new disciples.
She divided the recruits into several groups: one group was responsible for maintaining order, one group was responsible for registering names, and one group was responsible for attracting investment.
These days, the breakfast stalls and bun shops at the foot of the mountain have all been rented out, replaced by unfamiliar faces waiting to sell magic weapons, runes, and elixirs, mixed in with some time-honored shops that are famous in the East China Sea.
After Lingxiao Sect has accepted all the new disciples, it will give a huge sum of money to those who leave. Instead of letting these people who don't understand the world of cultivation spend it recklessly, Huang Jinyu thinks it would be better to let these people buy some good things that have been approved by Lingxiao Sect at the foot of the mountain. They can buy truly useful treasures, and the residents near Lingxiao Sect can also share more benefits. For any righteous force, harmonious neighborhood relations are very necessary.
According to Huang Jinyu's understanding, the main purpose of recruiting disciples is to establish good relationships. If the seniors are good to the juniors, the juniors will remember the seniors' kindness and help them when they need it. In fact, it does not matter whether the junior is accepted into the sect or not. Therefore, being nice to the people around you is always a good idea most of the time.
When welcoming new members into the sect, Huang Jinyu showed them the most friendly side of Lingxiao Sect.
She and the fellow Taoists she recruited earned a huge amount of commission fees.
Although many people still chose to leave after passing the Cloud Steps this time, the number of new recruits recruited this time was still much greater than last time, at least ten times more.
Lin Luo observed that this time, two new disciples with different personalities were added, or maybe three.
One type of people are particularly honest, and they probably signed up because of their parents' advice. When they are alone, their expressions are quite confused, and their attitude towards others is particularly correct and cautious. They will talk to the disciples in a very serious manner.
Maybe they are usually good children at home, and this is their first time traveling far away. Judging from their age, they should be the most common type of children in the sect.
The other type of people talk a lot.
Lin Luo, who didn't want to know anything, just took two steps near them and was forced to eat a mouthful of melon.
"Do you know? The person who just spoke to me is the young master of the Huang family! He is the one-in-a-million peerless genius, the young master of the Huang family, Huang Jinyu!"
"What's that to you? The Crown Prince of Donghai helped me fold my quilt. Oh my god! The most beautiful woman in Donghai actually helped me fold my quilt! My life is complete!"
"Did you see that man?"
Lin Luo also looked over and saw a very good-looking person, but most people in the world of cultivation were very good-looking, so it could be said that he saw a very ordinary person.
"Isn't this the guy who caused a scene in the exam hall? His name was Li Heng or something."
"Yes, he is Li Heng, the one who turned the examination room upside down after failing to pass the exam. I heard that his aptitude is exceptionally good, and even if he turned the examination room upside down, the East Sea Kingdom would still guarantee him admission into the sect."
"It is said that he has the most suitable qualifications to learn weapon cultivation. And it seems that the leader of Lingxiao Sect is also a weapon cultivator? Then he will be extraordinary in the future."
"The young master of the Huang family can't possibly be the young master of another sect. Maybe this guy will become our young master in the future."
"...Let's not talk about this anymore."
These are the second and third types of newcomers discovered by Lin Luo.
Gossipers are everywhere, but it is rare to find people who make trouble when they are angry.
Now Li Heng wants to overthrow Huang Jinyu's business.
Li Heng wanted to stop Huang Jinyu and ask her why she didn't let him see the sect leader. Did she want to target him because he was more talented than her?
In fact, Huang Jinyu didn't need to say much, he already knew it in his mind.
As one of the four major sects, Lingxiao Sect only accepted 23 disciples when it opened its doors last time. The Sect Master of Lingxiao Sect only accepted 13 disciples. Huang Jinyu must have obtained many resources that other disciples of other major sects could not even dream of, which is why he has now become the most talented person in the East China Sea.
The last time Lingxiao Sect started recruiting disciples, based on Huang Jinyu's intelligence, she must have mixed in with the disciples and done some tricks. This time she wants to force him away again, and he will definitely not let Huang Jinyu succeed.
With his talent, as long as the sect master meets him once, he will definitely keep him and accept him as his personal disciple.
He will definitely be able to surpass Huang Jinyu in the future.
Huang Jinyu has always been very friendly to others, but this time, Lin Luo saw her directly blocking the person outside the barrier and didn't even bother to look at the person.
Huang Jinyu felt a little tired.
This person has come to her three times and asked why she didn't want to repair the device this time. If she didn't want to repair it, then she didn't want to repair it. There was no need to ask so many questions.
It is even more impossible to meet the sect leader. It has never been said that you can meet the sect leader. Who knows who this person is and whether he will pose a threat to the teacher's life. If he can accept an identity investigation, it can be considered, but this person's explanation is completely unreasonable. Asking about identity means that you look down on me.
If this man didn't seem really stupid, Huang Jinyu would have suspected that he was an assassin just based on his persistence in going to see the sect leader.
Maybe it was just her bad luck and she was doomed to be met with a villain. Huang Jinyu couldn't understand what she had done wrong to have to reason with such a person.
If she were to consider this kind of person, she would not accept him no matter how strong his spiritual roots were. Besides, she did not think his spiritual roots were very strong. Isn't it just a single fire spiritual root? You can find hundreds of them in a thousand years. Can this be considered a particularly outstanding talent?
Huang Jinyu felt that it would be better for her to save the time she spent chatting with people and ghosts and use it to practice.
The other guides also thought it was nonsense and it would be better to practice.
This question remained until Li Heng joined the sect.
Li Heng, who had spiritual roots, was of course assigned to Jianfeng and became one of Lin Luo's many disciples.
Li Heng was not convinced.
He knew from a young age that he was gifted, and all the adults in the village admired him. All his peers obeyed his orders and worked like slaves for him. However, when he came to Lingxiao Sect, those people of his generation could now be on equal footing with him.
It's really outrageous.
He decided to stop Lin Luo and ask him clearly.
He tried to stop him for a long time, but Lin Luo always disappeared without a trace after class. Finally one day, he found Lin Luo lying in the sword peak.
Lin Luo was immersed in the beautiful nature.
The mountains towered into the clouds, and Lin Luo was right on top of the clouds, watching the surging sea of clouds. The sun was very bright, it was dusk, and the clouds were amber in color.
He was about to fall asleep here and have his first hazy sweet dream since coming to this world of cultivation.
"Lin Luo, I need you for something! Come here!"
Lin Luo didn't want to pay attention to this person.
He was lying on the grass, ready to have a sweet dream. What was he doing?
He took out a large quilt from his sleeve and covered his head with it.
"Did you hear me? Come here! Are you still a teacher? How dare you treat your apprentice like this!"
Lin Luo sighed, took the quilt off his face, stood up and looked at the person who came.
Well, as a teacher, you have to be responsible for your apprentice.
Lin Luo walked up to Li Heng and asked, "What do you want to talk to me about?"
"I want to learn weapon refining. You, a sword cultivator, are nothing to me! Take me to the Weapon Peak right now! Let me tell you, Lin Luo, I only have a single fire spiritual root. If you're slow now, your sect leader will have to settle accounts with you sooner or later!"
Li Heng acted as if he owed Lin Luo 30 million top-grade spirit stones and had no intention of paying it back.
When Lin Luo heard this, he couldn't help but look at Li Heng up and down as if he were a fool.
Li Heng said a lot to him, but the core idea was just this: he wanted to learn weapon refining from the sect leader, and he looked down on Lin Luo, an ordinary swordsman.
He wanted Lin Luo to send him to see Jiao Xi.
It's rare to find someone so frank.
This kind of NPC is very common.
If Lin Luo took on this kind of task assigned by an NPC, there was a high probability that other kind-hearted NPCs would die inexplicably.
Lin Luo has always been very clear about one thing: not all tasks can be accepted, and not all commissions can be completed.
Not all people who post tasks are kind-hearted. This is true in games, and even more so in the world of cultivation. If you do a task with malicious intent, it will harm some kind-hearted people, which is something Lin Luo doesn't want to see.
It's disgusting in the game, and it's even more frustrating in the world of cultivation.
However, Lin Luo felt very bad about not sending away the person who issued the malicious task to him and letting him stay here.
This person is fourteen years old, not eight or three. Lin Luo feels that he is not this person's parent, but just a teacher. He should just assign homework and let the child practice well. He should not be involved in anything else, and it is not his responsibility to raise the child into a different person.
He is not familiar with this person, and he has no responsibility for the way he looks. Besides, there are more than 200 people on Jianfeng now, and he only pays attention to this person, which is unfair to other disciples. If this person is good to him, it makes sense for him to give this person preferential treatment. This person is not good to him, and if he still treats this person well, teaches him, and gives him knowledge and experience, it would be too unreasonable.
This person cannot be sent to Huohuo Jiaoxi, and Lin Luo himself does not want to accept him.
Lin Luo thought about it and felt that he could send this person to another sect.
Or should he be sent to Buxu Sect? He felt that place was quite compatible with this person's aura.
I just don’t know if the people from Buxu Sect will accept his letter of recommendation. Oh, right.
Lin Luo remembered that when they went to the East China Sea National Sacrifice Hall to sign the contract, they seemed to have joined some kind of association.
