Cultivation: But Not a Game-Chapter 44 - 21: Flying Sword Shrouds the Sun, Taibai Sword Scripture
As he expected, after Xu Bochen, people from various independent squads of the guild contacted Su Yu one after another, offering him various benefits to recruit him, but none could match Xu Bochen’s offer.
Until someone from the first main squad contacted him.
However, it wasn’t Chairman Ding Hao who contacted him, but a squad leader from the first main squad:
"If the young brother joins the main squad, you’ll receive a sixth-tier magical treasure, an advanced Sword Formula, 20 taels of gold, guaranteed elite membership by year-end, and once your cultivation reaches above level fifty, a guaranteed squad leader position."
"Hmm."
The conditions are not much different from the third squad, but the sincerity is not as much as the third squad.
One is the vice group leader recruiting in person, while the other is just a squad leader; Su Yu’s heart had already leaned toward one side.
"Additionally..."
The other side continued:
"Our main squad’s leader is a Loose Immortal. If you come, you’ll have a free opportunity to listen to the teachings once a month for five years."
"Hmm?"
Su Yu paused in thought, hesitated a little, and replied:
"Please allow me to consider and I’ll give you an answer by tomorrow night."
"Alright."
After closing the communication, Su Yu rubbed his brow:
"This is somewhat better than the third squad."
"But not by much."
"Never mind, I’ll decide tomorrow. If the second squad doesn’t come, I’ll choose between the first and third squads."
Gently rubbing his face, Su Yu put the matter aside and prepared to sleep.
The moon was dark, and the stars were few; an uneventful night passed.
Early the next morning, Su Yu found a new message, opened it to check:
"Mr. Su, I am Fang Yuan from the first major team of the second squad. Are you available for a talk?"
Su Yu washed his face and directly asked:
"May I know what benefits the second squad offers?"
Fang Yuan paused and then stated the offer on their side:
"A sixth-tier Flying Sword, an advanced Sword Formula, 20 gold, guaranteed elite membership by year-end, and once your cultivation reaches above level fifty, a guaranteed squad leader position."
Not much different from the first and third squads, it seems they have negotiated this.
After all, if there are no restrictions, everyone indulging in vicious bidding would only hurt themselves.
"In addition, our Mr. Chu is an Inner Sect Disciple of the Xuanzhen Immortal Sect and has quotas for entering the Immortal Sect. A year later, you can be assured to enter the Xuanzhen Immortal Sect."
"This..."
Su Yu shook his head and said:
"That’s useless to me. I can enter the Immortal Sect by my ability."
"You’re mistaken there. Entering the Immortal Sect by yourself makes you an Outer Sect Disciple. Mr. Chu is an Inner Sect Disciple and has a mentor in the Immortal Sect. With her help, you can directly enter as a Formal Disciple."
Su Yu’s heart was moved, he immediately asked:
"Can I be guaranteed entry as a Formal Disciple?"
"Yes, guaranteed!"
"Can you speak on Mr. Chu’s behalf?"
There was a pause on the other side, and after a moment came the reply:
"If you have time, please come to the Qingxin Tea House. Mr. Chu would like to meet you."
"Okay, I’ll come immediately."
Closing the communication, Su Yu clicked his tongue in surprise:
"If that’s the case, then it’s the second squad."
Normally entering the Immortal Sect, unless one’s talent is extraordinary and directly noticed by a top figure in the sect, normally upon entry, one is an Outer Sect Disciple.
His talent was certainly not extraordinary enough to directly meet the standards for being taken as a disciple by a top figure in the sect.
An Outer Sect Disciple needs at least three years of observation and then assessment to become a Formal Disciple.
The three-year observation is a strict prerequisite, unavoidable without connections.
Outer Sect Disciples can only practice the sect’s standard Qi Refining Heart Skill, which is advanced. To access the superb level Qi Refining Heart Skill and various Thunder Skills and forbidden skills, one must become a Formal Disciple.
Three years of stalling is too much wasted time.
A fast start results in continuous speed. If he could save three years, he could save much more time and effort in the future.
Su Yu heard of the Qingxin Tea House, located in the west of the city, a high-end tea house.
Situated in a city estate, surrounded by a garden, the environment is serene.
The Rose Garden, full of various roses, blooming in bright and beautiful colors, but the moment he saw the graceful figure standing among the flowers, all the roses in the garden paled in comparison.
Behind her stood a pretty and delicate young girl who, seeing Su Yu approach, asked:
"Are you Mr. Su?"
"Yes."
"Please, this way!"
In the garden was a pavilion with a stone table, on which tea and various snacks were placed.
"Please have a seat, Mr. Su."
The young girl poured out the tea, brewed a new pot with flowing movements, extremely pleasing to the eye.
"May I know how to address you, young lady?"
"Chu Xiaoyu!"
"Sister Xiaoyu."
While speaking, he suddenly felt something and raised his head, instantly feeling a bright illumination in front of his eyes.
Chu Xinyue had already approached, placing the kettle aside, speaking gently:
"Su Yu, your Swordsmanship talent is quite excellent, even among the Xuanzhen Immortal Sect, it’s above average."
The absolute beauty and cool demeanor that greeted him were dazzling, causing Su Yu a moment of infatuation. In the next moment, he regained his senses, took a deep breath to suppress the excitement in his heart, and calmly asked:
"It’s only above average?"
The young girl next to him explained crisply:
"Mr. Su, you may not know, the Xuanzhen Immortal Sect, as one of the top Immortal Sects on Blue Mountain Island, its influence covers billions of square kilometers. Each year, millions aspire to become disciples, and among them, only a few dozen possess a high-level Sword Dao talent, of which above-average is already considered quite good."
"Oh, I see."
Su Yu pressed his lips together and continued to ask:
"I previously heard from Captain Fang Yuan that Mr. Chu can assure my direct entry into the Xuanzhen Immortal Sect, is that true?"
Chu Xinyue nodded, her voice gentle:
"My mentor is an elder of the Jade Flower Peak in the Immortal Sect, able to directly accept you as a disciple under Jade Flower Peak."
"However, you need to be informed in advance, Jade Flower Peak is not specialized in Sword Dao. Although you can switch to another peak to study Sword Dao later, that would be five years later, which may affect your future growth."
