The Desolate Palace was not established for a long time, and it had just recruited the first batch of disciples. Even Xia Xiao and Azhu, who did not want to stay in the Dawn World, did not dare to leave at will, so how could they say that Yu Shangyan, the Palace Master? But she did not leave the Palace to cause trouble, but to invite some hermits to come out of the mountains and serve as elders in the Desolate Palace.

Since the first batch of disciples entered the Deserted Palace, although there were no major conflicts, everyone was very respectful and courteous to the Hall Master and the Deputy Hall Master, and no one was arrogant just because they were from the world below and were weak. But what they were very worried about also happened, that is, they were not only short of manpower, but also very weak, and even some disciples had difficulty solving their daily practice problems.

It was impossible for Yu Shangyan to solve all the problems, as that was against the rules. Therefore, she spent three days looking for some hermits in Zhuangzong and prepared to invite them out of the mountains. But everyone stopped her, which made her frown. She sat in the seat of the hall master and pondered for a long time, and said angrily:

"You have reported this matter countless times every day. Now I have finally found six hermits and want to invite them, but you won't let me go. Apart from me, who can invite them? Who has the power and influence?"

Yu Shangyan's words were full of meaning, causing everyone to look at Xia Xiao and Azhu. Although they were two people, they could also be said to be one person because they were inseparable. If Azhu wanted to go, it must be because Xia Xiao agreed. The latter raised his eyebrows and said unhappily:

"You are the Palace Master, you have the final say, but can't you just say it directly? You're wasting most of the day."

"At first I was really planning to go by myself, but as you all said, if I went, the people in the Desolate Palace would be uneasy and I would lose face, so I won't go. You two are the only ones who are free in the Desolate Palace, go find them!"

Xia Xiao practiced every day and really didn't feel idle, but he could go if he wanted to. He had no reason to refuse. After all, the Desolate Palace didn't belong to Yu Shangyan alone, but before leaving, he asked:

"What are the strengths of these six people? Where are they hiding? What kind of status are you going to give them? If you don't prepare these, won't it seem that you are not sincere?"

"Need I tell you? I've prepared everything. It's all in this volume."

Xia Xiao took a scroll and opened it. The records were quite detailed. Even the hermit who could be found was not as weak as he thought.

"These were found for us by Elder Zhuang Fan using the power of the Zhuang Clan. The highest level is at the fourteenth level, and the lowest is at the twelfth level. If we can invite them here, we will be able to resolve the current problems in our Desolate Palace."

"Can you recruit more people so that we can give up the positions of hall master and deputy hall master? With our strength, we need to strengthen our own practice. It is really difficult to manage others."

Wang Yuanke proposed, and most of them supported it. They were not so shameless. If they were in the Great Wilderness, it would be fine. Even if the disciples they brought were almost as strong as themselves or only a level weaker, they still had a lot of experience to squander. But in the Xishu world, everything they knew was not as good as those disciples, which was very embarrassing. But Yu Shangyan refused immediately, leaving no room for negotiation.

"Don't even think about being lazy. Where can we find so many experts now? The Xishu world is divided into different regions by power. Many families have been in one power for dozens of generations. There are very few experts like this who have no one to rely on. So when they come, or when the number of elders increases in the future, you still have to manage the daily life of the disciples in each hall and judge their rewards and punishments. Don't even think about escaping!"

Everyone looked embarrassed and sighed secretly. They could see that Yu Shangyan had ulterior motives, so they did not try to retreat. As people from the Great Wilderness, they all had to rush forward. Who would want to retreat? Then, after looking at the map and the records of the seven people in the scroll, Xia Xiao said:

"These seven places are too far away. Let's set off now and try to come back as soon as possible. Don't forget what you promised us. We will return to the Great Wilderness in a month."

"knew!"

Yu Shangyan was obviously a little impatient and asked again:

"Didn't they say that people from the Dawn World can't go to the following worlds at will?"

"We have a token, specially approved by the Palace Master!"

Xia Xiao smiled complacently, and as he and Ah Zhu were about to leave the hall, he turned back and asked:

"No gift for meeting me?"

"Don't think I don't know. There are a lot of good things in your empty rings. Pay for it first!"

“So stingy!”

Xia Xiao and Azhu wanted to leave. They were always resolute and decisive. They had to do it anyway, so they might as well deal with everything now. That way, they could feel more at ease when they left. The Living Buddha saw them and asked for permission after they left. He hoped to study in the Buddhist sect, one of the twelve earth-level forces under the Heavenly Palace, and hoped that Yu Shangyan would write a letter of recommendation.

Yu Shangyan did not refuse. It would not be bad to make friends with other sects now, so he wrote several pages of paper, copied it again, and then handed it to the Living Buddha.

Apart from other things, Yu Shangyan has always been very good to his subordinates. When they left, he did not forget to give them some spiritual medicines and holy fruits. Since they were going to study, they had to be generous. Now the entire reserve of the Deserted Palace is in Yu Shangyan's hands. In the future, it will be handed over to others for safekeeping, but not now. It is too early to do that now.

The Living Buddha expressed his gratitude, bowed, held the Zen staff and rosary, walked out of the hall, and headed for the Western Paradise. This trip was for himself and for the temple. If it is handled well, it will be a perfect win-win situation!

Seeing that everyone in the Desolate Palace was thinking about the Desolate Palace, the Second Elder secretly praised them, but after staying in the Desolate Palace for so long, it was time for him to leave, and the request he made to the Sect Master in advance had also been approved. At this moment, the Second Elder bowed, and faced with the many spiritual medicines and holy fruits given by Yu Shangyan, he refused to take any of them, and just pleaded:

"It is my honor to help Huangdian and make Huangdian grow stronger. In the future, Zhuangzong, please promote Huangdian more!"

"Elder, you have helped us so much, we will naturally remember it in our hearts. If it were not for the Heavenly Palace's rule that elders can only belong to one party, I would definitely let you register in my Desolate Palace and enjoy the benefits of the Desolate Palace."

"I appreciate your kindness. When I return to strengthen the clan next time, I will do my best to find all the powerful free men in the entire Prosperous Continent, so that the Desolate Palace can enter the ranks of earth-level forces as soon as possible and compete with the heroes of the world!"

"Thank you, elder!"

Yu Shangyan stood up and bowed, paying for his previous targeted actions. The second elder returned the greeting, said goodbye to everyone, walked out of the palace gate, and returned to Zhuang Sect alone. He had important things to discuss with the sect leader, because he had been in the Desolate Palace for so long, and had not seen anything else, but these people were all fellow countrymen in the Great Desolate, and not only were they unprecedentedly united, but the Desolate Palace they led developed rapidly, and its power was not reduced but would increase, which was extremely terrifying.

If things go on like this, even if they are given fifty years, not to mention a hundred years, it would be too long. And the Desolate Palace has another excellent quality, which is that it will not be carried away by the momentary joy, and will quickly react and continue to devote itself to the development of the Desolate Palace. It is rare to be neither arrogant nor impatient, at least many people can't do that.

Compared to the past period, the Desolate Palace is obviously not as famous now, because everything has returned to stability. But the second elder knows how much support the Desolate Palace has received from the Heavenly Palace, so when he reported this to the sect master, the childish girl couldn't help but worry that they would snatch away their earth-level power.

In the past 100,000 years, the structure of the Heavenly Palace has not changed at all. If the Desolate Palace is added at this time and nothing changes, one of the Earth-level forces will definitely be downgraded. In that case, the structure of one force will be changed, and the strongest may become a part of the Desolate Palace, and the rest will be downgraded to human-level forces.

Among the twelve earth-level forces under the Heavenly Palace, only their Zhuang Sect has the shortest history and the least foundation, but no one wants to be dispersed, so they are currently practicing on their own to keep this name. They don't want to provoke the Desolate Palace, but they don't want to be suppressed by it, so they can only work harder and shine in the selection three years later.

As long as they are not the leaders or elders of a faction, all disciples can enter the selection. In this way, Xia Xiao and Azhu are also in that queue. After all, there is only an age limit, not a strength limit. I don't know how surprised other factions will be, and how many people will be shocked by it.

No one can predict what will happen in the future, but now, Xia Xiao and Azhu, who are looking for hermits in other places, are like on a picnic. They leave the town and the hustle and bustle and go headfirst into the mountains. After searching for a long time among the continuous mountains, they finally find the direction and stop in the mountains.
