Su Nian nodded.

"By the way," Li Baiyu suddenly spoke up, arms crossed, pondering, "Should we recruit some male disciples this time when we're recruiting externally?"

"This question..." The Second Elder hesitated.

Quanxiu was originally a women's sect, but Su Nian was only allowed to enter twenty years ago because of Su Liuli's repeated pleas.

A year and a half ago, they recruited a second male disciple, hoping to take this opportunity to expand their sect, but unexpectedly, they recruited a bandit.

“Most of the cultivation techniques in the Quanxiu Scripture Pavilion are for women. Although there are a few unisex manuals, they are still inferior to those given to male disciples by other sects.” Su Nian slowly said, “With the Immortal Seeking Ceremony approaching, all the sects have opened their gates. For male cultivators, Quanxiu is not a suitable choice. We can tell the truth to everyone who comes to Maoding City to seek immortality and let them choose for themselves.”

“But what if someone still recklessly chooses us?” Li Baiyu asked.

Su Nian said calmly, "The pursuit of immortality is all about 'fate,' and Quanxiu, being a women's sect, has a stronger affinity with female cultivators and very little with male cultivators. Have you forgotten? Over the years, almost all the obstacles in Quanxiu's Immortal Seeking Ceremony have been overcome by female cultivators."

Li Baiyu was taken aback, then nodded.

"Hmm... what you said makes sense. Those challenges... ordinary male cultivators can't get through them."

Su Nian's lips curled up. "This year's situation is special. So many people are coming to seek immortality. How can we set up the same things as in previous years?"

"So what do you want?" Li Baiyu asked curiously.

"Of course we need to find a way to select a group of exceptionally talented seekers of immortality!" Su Nian raised one hand and clenched her fist.

Li Baiyu and the Second Elder exchanged a glance, and the latter hesitated before nodding.

"Alright, since I've entrusted this matter to you, then I'll do as you say. Just remember! Don't go too far."

Su Nian smiled slightly, "Don't worry, Second Elder, I know what I'm doing."

The next day, Quanxiu publicly revealed the outline of the sect's treasured secret techniques.

Most of the cultivation techniques and secret manuals of Quanxiu Sect are feminine and can only be practiced by women. If a practitioner is too masculine, he or she will explode and die.

When the news spread throughout the city, countless people immediately backed down.

Countless people began to compare the merits and demerits of Quanxiu with other immortal sects, and ultimately, 80% of the young people chose to leave Rivet City.

Because they understand that competing for a spot in a women's sect with their not-so-outstanding talent will be even more difficult than entering other sects.

However, some people still refused to believe it and planned to force their way into the All-Show Apprentice Recruitment Conference!

A day later, Jiang Yuxing and Yun Feifan finished dealing with sect affairs and disguised themselves to enter Rivet City.

Instead of going directly to Quanxiu to find Su Nian, they stayed temporarily in Rivet City, secretly monitoring and protecting him.

The two went to a noodle shop, chose a seat on the street, and ordered two bowls of vegetarian noodles.

"There are so many people coming to Quanxiu seeking immortality this year," Yun Feifan said to Jiang Yuxing, picking up a steaming bowl of noodles with his chopsticks and blowing on it as he spoke.

The powerful cultivators at the Mahayana stage had already abstained from grains; the two of them were simply playing the roles of ordinary passersby on the street.

Yun Feifan is a seasoned actor with a wealth of experience. He even made a gesture of being burned by the noodles and kept blowing on them.

Jiang Yuxing nodded, his gaze sweeping over the bustling streets. He rested his chin on his hand and said, "Yeah, it's probably because of Su, right? What a clever recruitment tactic. How come I never thought of that before?"

First, use a heaven-reaching magic to attract immortal disciples, then screen them one by one to select the most outstanding talents.

Jiang Yuxing wrote down this method, intending to use it again when he returned to his sect.

He looked towards the location of the seven sacred mountains of Quanxiu, pondering their next move.

Suddenly, the figure of a young girl came into his view.

Jiang Yuxing stood there, stunned.

Even though the girl was well hidden, Jiang Yuxing had been on missions in the Demon Realm for a long time and had rich experience in identifying illusionary demons, so he still recognized the girl's true form at a glance.

"Hey! Old Yun! Stop eating! Look over there!" Jiang Yuxing tugged at Yun Feifan's sleeve and pointed at the girl in the crowd.

Yun Feifan, with noodles still in his mouth, looked at Jiang Yuxing with a puzzled expression. Then, he turned his head and saw the girl Jiang Yuxing was pointing at.

Yun Feifan sensed something was wrong, narrowed his eyes, and carefully examined the situation.

After a long while, he exclaimed in surprise.

"Holy crap! Qian Shudie? What's she doing here?!"
