Auntie Er then looked on with envy.
Dongfang Mian sighed inwardly. Back on the Vermilion Bird Continent, she had desperately hidden her multiple attributes, afraid that others would know she had more than one. But now that she was in the human realm, it was a different story. If she said less, she would be suspected. What kind of situation was this?
"Cotton Doll, you were born with such good bloodline! Beast Tamer, Alchemist, Weapon Forger—which of these isn't the most sought-after profession? People would be so envious if they heard about it!" Ever since she got to know Dongfang Mian these days, her second aunt has been affectionately calling her Cotton Doll.
"Then you must be a beast tamer, right? Why haven't I seen your beast pets?" Second Aunt asked. "What level are you as an alchemist and weapon refiner?"
“My pet got separated from me while we were escaping,” Dongfang Mian said with a look of dejection as she thought of Aju. “I haven’t even taken the exams for the alchemist and weapon refiner badges yet.”
"It's alright, it's alright," Second Aunt said quickly when she saw Dongfang Mian getting sad. "These pets are like men. If one doesn't work out, we can just get another one. It's not a big deal."
Uh... Dongfang Mian suddenly couldn't feel sad anymore. Do topics change so quickly these days?
Seeing her second aunt looking excited and ready to tell her stories of romance and love from those years, Dongfang Mian, who had heard them many times before, quickly used a headache and the need to rest to escape back to her room.
After resting well for half a month, the day finally arrived for the Biyou City sect to recruit disciples. Second Aunt hurriedly asked her husband to send Dongfang Mian and Yan Dazhi into the city.
Second Aunt's husband was a silent man, not good with words, which was a stark contrast to Second Aunt. He didn't say a word the whole way, just silently drove the cart to the city gate and then turned back.
Dongfang Mian watched his retreating figure and sighed. "Spirit Emperor Realm! With that kind of strength, he could lord it over everyone in the Vermilion Bird Continent, but in this mortal realm, he doesn't even have the qualifications to join a major sect."
Once inside the city, Yan Dazhi bid farewell to Dongfang Mian. He hadn't come to pay homage to a sect, but rather to visit relatives and friends. Since he and Dongfang Mian were heading in opposite directions, they naturally went their separate ways.
After making a few inquiries along the way, Dongfang Mian found out the locations where various sects were recruiting disciples. When they arrived, they were dumbfounded. Those who didn't know better would have thought it was a rural market.
Numerous sects, large and small, casually marked out a small area, and several disciples sat on the ground and began to shout:
"The Heavenly Martial Sect is recruiting disciples! Anyone at the peak of the Spirit King realm or above is welcome to apply. Don't miss out!"
"The Divine Speed Sect is recruiting disciples. Anyone at the Spirit Emperor Realm is welcome. Elders at the Spirit Venerable Realm will provide hands-on instruction. Applications are welcome!"
"The Little Knife Alliance is recruiting several ordinary disciples, all with the strength of a Spirit King. With many disciples, they will help each other and work together as one."
Ah... this...
Dongfang Mian's eyes widened in surprise. Was this the scene that should be when recruiting disciples? When the Vermilion Bird Academy recruited disciples in the past, the recruitment elders all had long faces as if someone owed them hundreds of millions of spirit stones. They didn't even look at you properly. This was nothing like the scene before. Goodness, it was like a shopkeeper beckoning customers.
As Dongfang Mian walked along, she carefully observed each sect. There were quite a few people like her who hesitated and did not sign up. Often, several people would stand in front of a sect, deep in thought, which prompted the disciples to come up with all sorts of tricks to attract people to sign up.
This is so hard to understand. Is the human realm really that short of people? Are all the major sects unable to recruit disciples? This is completely different from what my second aunt said.
"Have you heard? The Misty Secret Realm of the Misty Palace is about to open. These sects are recruiting like crazy, just to have a greater chance of getting the opportunities inside."
