A group of young men and women and children arrived in front of the Heart Refining Rock.
Their youthful faces brimmed with innocence.
Li Jingchen, on the other hand, looked anxious. These remaining people were the family clan’s last hope. Then, hopefully, more people will pass the test.
Soon, someone did, followed by another.
Li Jingchen was shocked. It was as if he had struck the lottery.
Qin Chuan wasn’t too surprised.
After all, they were all minors and did not have much experience.
This was especially true for children under the age of ten. Their young hearts were relatively pure, so it was naturally easy for them to pass the test.
Not long after, the Li family’s minors completed their tests.
The passing rate was close to 80%.
Just like that, everyone from the Li family clan completed the test. A total of 87 people passed the test.
The highest number of people passing was between six and ten years old.
Li Jingchen was quite satisfied with this number.
He could imagine their strength surging if they trained with Qin Chuan.
…
After the Li family was done, the family clans behind immediately rushed forward.
After learning the number of people who had passed in the Li family clan, they became even more nervous. They were afraid that their own clansmen would be inferior.
In this tense and expectant atmosphere, each family clan completed the test.
By midnight, all the martial arts families in the Hundred Thousand Mountains finally completed the test.
There were a total of 2,932 people who passed this time. On average, each family had about 81 people.
After these people were selected, Qin Chuan informed the family clans that these people would be with him for three years. During this time, they were not allowed to leave or contact their families.
If they agreed, he would take them away.
The Patriarchs didn’t immediately make a decision, nor did Qin Chuan ask for a reply immediately.
For this matter, the Patriarchs returned to their respective family clans and held a clan meeting.
Two days later, the Patriarchs went to Qin Chuan to express their agreement.
Qin Chuan also gave them a guarantee. Three years later, he would definitely give them a huge surprise.
With Qin Chuan’s strength, the Patriarchs naturally trusted him.
On this day, the two thousand selected people gathered together.
The parents of these children tearfully sent their children off.
They told their children to work hard in their cultivation. Then, after they finished their studies, they would return and bring honor to their family.
At this moment, a Patriarch came over and asked Qin Chuan, “Guest Elder Qin, how are you going to bring so many people away? Do you need our help?”
Qin Chuan smiled. “There’s no need to trouble the Patriarchs, I have my own ways.”
The Patriarchs were puzzled.
There were over two thousand people here, not just two.
If they were to take passenger planes, they would need several of them.
However, there was no airport for passenger planes in the mountains. The only form of air transport was helicopters.
But helicopters could only carry a dozen people at most.
There were over two thousand people now, so that was obviously impossible.
So, the Patriarchs were curious as to how Qin Chuan would bring these people away.
Qin Chuan summoned the system interface, then said to the selected people, “Take another look at your parents and loved ones. If there’s anything you haven’t said, I’ll give you one minute.”
After that, many children rushed out and hugged their loved ones.
To a child, it was indeed very hard to leave the people closest to them.
One minute passed quickly.
The children returned to the team one after another.
After everyone had arrived, Qin Chuan tapped on the sect.
In an instant, space distorted.
Under the crowd’s anticipation, Qin Chuan and more than two thousand people vanished into thin air.
The crowd was stunned.
…
In the sect!
More than two thousand people suddenly surged in front of the huge gates.
When these people saw their surroundings, they couldn’t help but be amazed.
Qin Chuan was already used to it.
At the same time, he received a system alert.
“Warning! Warning! Warning! The number of people has exceeded the limit. Host, please upgrade your sect’s level as soon as possible.”
After Qin Chuan received the notification, he was shocked.
This was his first time learning that there was a limit to the number of people in the sect.
He opened the system interface and found the sect column.
[Level One Sect: 3324 / 3000]
“F*ck!”
Qin Chuan’s expression changed, and he subconsciously cursed.
He had not expected such a situation.
There were too many people, so he had to upgrade the sect.
It cost 100,000 points to advance from a Level One sect to a Level Two sect.
Qin Chuan glanced at his 10,000 points. That was far from enough.
It was impossible to earn so many points in a short period of time.
Fortunately, the system had a ten-day grace period.
Qin Chuan did a rough calculation. He could obtain 10 points when the newbies successfully draw Qi into their bodies.
Currently, there were over two thousand newcomers. Using a conservative estimate, they should be able to draw Qi into their bodies within two days.
However, the guiding work in the early stages would take quite some time.
Firstly, consecration.
That would be considered fast. It would take about 10 seconds for each person.
Those two thousand people could be done in about half a day.
The second step was to soak in the Spirit Spring.
This step would be slow.
The Level Two Spirit Spring could only accommodate about 300 people at one time, and one bath took basically two hours.
It would take at least 15 hours for more than 2,000 people to finish.
In that case, just the consecration and soaking in the Spirit Spring alone would take a day.
Although… there was a high chance of obtaining a considerable amount of points when during the consecration and when their souls would awaken. But, if such a situation did not occur, he could only rely on increasing cultivation levels to obtain points.
Furthermore, he would need to increase their cultivation levels by two realms, which meant that these two thousand people had to reach the second class of Qi Refinement.
When he thought about it seriously, this seemed quite difficult.
Traditional breathing exercises definitely won’t work. He had to use special methods.
There were only a few ways to quickly raise one’s cultivation level in a short period of time.
Spirit pills, spirit stones, or imbue one with knowledge.
Qin Chuan was thinking of using spirit pills and spirit stones.
Now, those people from the Alchemy faculty were already very familiar with refining pills.
However, to satisfy the needs of more than two thousand people, they needed a lot of spirit pills.
As for spirit stones, Qin Chuan still had quite a bit.
He had originally had other uses for these spirit stones, but he had to use them now.
There was no need to worry about the spirit pills and spirit stones. The rest would depend on their own cultivation.
He did not have much time left.
Hence, Qin Chuan immediately woke everyone up and explained the place and the purpose of bringing them here.
Everyone found it hard to believe when they heard the word “cultivation.”
Qin Chuan was clear that his eloquence was indeed lacking.
It was almost impossible for them to accept it quickly using words alone.
Therefore, he did not say anything else. In any case, they would believe him in the end.
Qin Chuan called over a few people to guide the freshmen.
About a day and a half later, more than two thousand people completed the orientation. It took a little longer than he had originally planned, but it was still acceptable.
Qin Chuan looked at the aptitudes of these people. All of them had Earth Spirit Roots and above, with half of them being Heavenly Spirit Roots.
After all, they all had martial arts backgrounds, so it was normal for their overall aptitude to be this good.
Unfortunately, none of them had awakened souls.
Qin Chuan didn’t think much of it.
To him, souls were a surprise. It was fine if there were none.
