Chapter 5: Stealing my peaches, right at my doorstep?!
However, as excited as the five elders were at the moment, they would be as desperate later.
Because Lin Fan is serious!
He was determined to carry out his rules to the end.
Testing talent?
Sorry, unexpected!
He even asked the fourth elder Chen Erzhu to move all the talent stone tablets away.
What made them most desperate was that even though they could see that some of the seedlings had good talents, and even a few of them had talents comparable to Lin Fan's, and after growing up, they would be considered the "backbone" disciples of the Lanyue Sect, Lin Fan said he would not accept them!
Even if they hinted or even expressed their willingness to accept him as their last disciple, Lin Fan would not agree.
They were so anxious that they were jumping up and down.
It's really urgent.
How many years has it been since Lanyue Sect was so lively? It was also the first time in nearly a hundred years that so many people came to pay respects to the mountain. With so many people and a large base, some of them had good talents.
In the end, they really didn’t accept it?!
Seeing that they were about to speak up, Lin Fan whispered, "Elders, we have already agreed that since you let me be the sect leader, then let me make the decision!"
"If anything goes wrong, I'll take the blame!"
"And at this juncture, please don't hold me back."
"You can keep an eye on the people you like for now. If you don't receive any disciples who meet the new rules later, you can recruit them."
"But if there are people who meet the requirements..."
"He alone is enough!"
Lin Fan's eyes sparkled.
If you can really get a disciple who looks like the protagonist, why would you accept other disciples? Isn't this a waste of resources? The Lanyue Sect is poor to begin with!
After hearing this, the elders could only nod and bear it.
Seeing more and more people arriving at the square and getting more and more noisy, Lin Fan coughed lightly: "Fifth Elder, please help calm the situation down."
"No problem."
Duan Qingyao nodded slightly.
"That's enough."
boom!
The light tone shook the entire sacred mountain.
The ordinary people who came to pay their respects were suddenly frightened and dared not make any more noise.
The eyes looking at them were also full of fear and admiration.
"Is this the immortal?"
“Amazing!”
"I will definitely join the immortal sect."
At this moment, they were secretly furious.
At this moment, Lin Fan looked at the Great Elder and nodded slightly.
The latter took a step forward and said loudly: "This is the leader of our sect!"
"The Sect Master has a benevolent heart and is willing to give all living beings in the world a glimmer of hope. Therefore, starting this year, when recruiting disciples, our sect will no longer only look at talent, but also at fate!"
"Those who are predestined can enter our sect to practice even if they have no talent at all."
"Those who are not destined to be with us will not be accepted into our sect, even if they have extraordinary talents."
"Some people may know this news, but some may not. At this moment, I need to explain it to you clearly."
"Therefore, this year's assessment is also different from ordinary assessments."
"You need to stay in the square for three days. After three days, there will be a result."
"During this period, your eating, drinking, defecating and urinating will be taken care of by this sect."
"Do you understand?"
boom.
There was a sudden uproar among the crowd.
Everyone was shocked.
“It’s true!”
"Then, then I also have a chance to join the Immortal Sect?"
"Be quiet, beware of the Immortal's anger."
“···”
Seeing this, the great elder said again: "During this period, you can move around freely and talk to each other. As for how to identify those who are destined to be together, you don't need to worry about it."
"We will decide for ourselves."
"Yes, Immortal-sama."
The crowd was noisy, some were responding, others were talking nonsense excitedly.
At this time, the second elder stepped forward and said, "Those with the surnames Xiao, Ye, Shi, and Lin, please step forward."
Everyone was stunned, but then they reacted, and more than a dozen of them hurriedly stepped forward.
Several elders smiled bitterly.
According to the rules set by the clan leader, these surnames should be given priority in admission, but now, we can't accept so many.
However, priority does not necessarily mean admission, right?
Then he added, "Those who have survived three or more disasters and whose fiancées have mysterious secrets, step forward."
Everyone quieted down, but no one stepped forward.
"There are those who have been broken off from engagement, those whose parents mysteriously disappeared, those who were once geniuses but were unexpectedly abandoned. Step forward."
Still no one came forward.
Apparently, no one met the requirements.
But these questions left them confused.
Just as he was about to ask more, Wu Xingyun said, "Okay, do as you please."
Everyone: “…?!”
Okay, no follow-up?
They were puzzled, but still had hope.
Some people find it difficult to remain calm, some are trying their best to restrain themselves, some are deliberately trying to show themselves, and some are pretending to earn some performance points.
All aspects of life are on display.
The great elder waved his hand to set up a soundproof barrier, looked at the bustling crowd, and said with emotion: "I have never observed it so closely before. Life is so diverse, it's really..."
"Some of them are unbearable to look at." Duan Qingyao sighed: "Originally, I had my eyes on two disciples with good talents, but their personalities are really a bit~~~"
The disciple that I originally wanted to accept, I no longer want to accept him.
Talent is important, but if your character is not good, it may not be a good thing to get into the door.
Lin Fan didn't say anything, but he was paying attention to the dozen people from the 'Four Major Surnames'.
He thought to himself, "Sure enough, there are too few templates for the main character. With only 10,000 people, trying to find a template for the main character is just like buying a lottery ticket."
“I hope they can give me a little surprise.”
Time passes...
No one showed impatience.
In the afternoon, the sound of 'cooing' was heard everywhere.
Seeing this, Lin Fan said softly, "Can one of the elders go and hunt a few monsters and share some meat with them? We promised to be responsible for their food for the next three days, so we can't break our promise."
"Eating some monster meat can improve their physical fitness to some extent, so it will be worth their trip."
"I'll go." The third elder Li Changshou immediately flew into the air and turned into a stream of light, causing bursts of exclamations.
······
at the same time.
The top leaders of the Peach Blossom Sect, the Five Elements Sect and other surrounding sects all frowned.
"Why has the number of disciples who come to worship the mountain decreased significantly this year?"
"I don't know?"
"Check it for me!!!"
Soon, they found out the reason.
"The Lanyue Sect has written slogans all over the mountain below us saying, 'We don't look at talent, we only look at fate?!'
"How dare you to rob even our people."
"I think they are desperate!"
"Should we take action and teach them a lesson?!"
"Hmph, let's just let them live happily for a few days. When this group of new disciples gradually adapt, we can bring them to our sect together so that they can broaden their horizons. Not just any random person can be called a sect."
"That's right. Let's give them a few days off and let them go back to their hometowns to spread the word about our sect. Then, naturally, more disciples will come next year."
“Wonderful~!”
Many sects were very unhappy.
You stole my peaches, and you did it at my doorstep. Who can be happy about that?
However, at this juncture, they were unwilling to start a war, and decided to deal with the Moon Lan Sect after they were done with this period of time.
Meanwhile, in Lanyue Sect, a bonfire had already been lit. The huge monster was being roasted, making a sizzling sound. The aroma was so fragrant that everyone lost the desire to talk, and "sweat" kept flowing from the corners of their mouths...
