Chu Mo's aura suddenly spread outwards without any concealment.
The three of them felt as if they had fallen into an ice cave, as if Chu Mo had locked them in place.
It feels like the other party could easily crush me with just a single thought.
Is this the power of a Foundation Establishment expert? It is indeed terrifying.
Until Chu Mo withdrew his imposing aura.
Master Huang looked at him in disbelief, then smiled wryly and said:
"I used to think that I was of some use to Fellow Daoist Chu, but now it seems... I am truly ashamed."
For a Foundation Establishment cultivator in his early twenties, this talent was truly disheartening.
Only then did he truly understand why Chu Mo was so surprised when he learned that Chu Mo had only reached the middle stage of Qi Refining at over a hundred years old.
He must have been thinking at the time, "How could there be such a fool in the world?"
That's really discouraging.
But his two apprentices looked on with admiration and excitement.
Originally, they, like their master, came with the intention of repaying a debt of gratitude.
But now it seems that I have unintentionally latched onto a powerful patron.
Moreover, he is so young; his future achievements are absolutely unimaginable.
What's this?
It's like finding two dollars on the street, not caring at all, then casually using it to buy a lottery ticket, only to win the jackpot.
Happiness came too suddenly.
As for Chu Mo's claim that it could quickly improve cultivation, they immediately guessed it.
It must be the kind of celestial wine meant for his master; he still has quite a bit left.
If I could also have a drink or two, wouldn't I have a chance to go further?
They hadn't thought much about it before coming, but now they felt a little more expectant.
"Do you think, given my current abilities and these conditions, they would join?"
Chu Mo asked seriously.
After realizing what was happening, Master Huang nodded excitedly.
"Definitely. Independent cultivators are not like ancient sects. Without cultivation resources and perfect cultivation methods, it is too difficult for them to cultivate."
"Now that they have this opportunity, they will definitely agree without hesitation."
Master Huang was very certain that no rogue cultivator could easily resist such temptation.
He knew better than anyone the hardships of cultivation for independent cultivators.
Seeing how certain Master Huang was, Chu Mo couldn't help but be slightly surprised.
"Are the cultivation methods of rogue cultivators really that incomplete? Then why don't they join other ancient sects?"
Master Huang shook his head and smiled bitterly.
"The cultivation methods of independent cultivators are mostly obtained by chance and are mostly incomplete."
"As for joining a sect, it's not that we're unwilling, but that other sects don't want us."
"Why?" Chu Mo asked, looking surprised.
"Those ancient sects want to recruit disciples, and they have plenty of geniuses waiting for them to choose from. Those are their true direct descendants. Why would they look down on people like us?"
"Even if a few strong individuals are chosen, they will at most become guest advisors."
In the eyes of ancient sects, only those they have nurtured from childhood are considered true direct descendants.
Master Huang recalled with a bitter expression:
"I went through many hardships to finally reach the lower stage of Qi Refining. Feeling the difficulties of being a rogue cultivator, I once thought about joining an ancient sect."
"Unfortunately, I was rejected by three companies in a row, so I had to give up the idea."
"It's not just me; many other independent cultivators have had similar experiences."
Chu Mo sighed softly, offering no further comment; prejudice has existed since ancient times.
This concept is probably even more deeply ingrained in ancient sects with long histories.
Moreover, the Way is not easily passed on.
Even he wouldn't wholeheartedly teach someone who's just joined.
They would have to conduct some assessments before imparting the Xuan Tian Sect's techniques or helping them improve their cultivation level.
Therefore, the first rule of almost every sect is that one must not betray the sect or join other sects.
Otherwise, at best their cultivation will be abolished, and at worst they will die and their cultivation will be destroyed.
It's true that a sect has to invest a lot of resources to cultivate a genius disciple.
This is an age-old rule of all sects, and Chu Mo will be no exception.
"Does Fellow Daoist Chu have any requirements for those who join?" Master Huang asked curiously.
"Strength is not the most important thing, but character must not be too bad. I don't require him to be a good person, but I don't want a person who is extremely wicked, no matter how high his cultivation level is."
Chu Mo spoke seriously, saying that a sect is not a charity and will not only accept good people, but it is also not a shelter that will accept anyone.
There are some bottom lines that must be upheld.
Of course, this excludes those he controls with puppetry; those people are loyal and reliable and will absolutely obey his orders.
Even the most wicked person can be reformed into a good citizen by him.
"If that's the case, do you think the three of you, Master Huang and his disciples, are suitable?" Master Huang asked expectantly.
"Haha, I warmly welcome the few of you who are willing to join us. From today onwards, Master Huang will be the first elder of our Dragon Hidden Pavilion."
Chu Mo laughed heartily, his tone sincere.
Judging from certain clues, he always felt that there was some inexplicable connection between Kunlun Realm and Earth.
Therefore, out of caution, he did not name the sect Xuantian Sect, but temporarily called it Longyin Pavilion.
"Old Taoist Huang Rulong, along with his disciples Zhang Yuan and Zhao Xiaohu, pay their respects to the Pavilion Master."
Master Huang bowed solemnly to Chu Mo, his expression filled with excitement and emotion.
Having spent his entire life as a rogue cultivator, he never imagined that at over a hundred years old, he would finally join a sect.
Moreover, he was one of the founding members of the sect, which immediately gave him a strong sense of belonging.
As for the elder's status, he didn't care so much.
The other two young men were also excited, their eyes filled with boundless anticipation.
