The Silver Fairy turned back into a mortal without any magical power, but at this moment no one dared to doubt her strength anymore, and they all stood up nervously.
"Welcome to the City Lord!"
Everyone spoke in unison, solemnly and dignifiedly.
"Don't be so reserved. Take a seat."
The Silver Fairy no longer had the coldness she had before, and her face had a hint of kindness.
No one dared to sit down, not even to breathe, and you could hear a pin drop in the room.
Seeing this, Fairy Silver didn't say anything more. She sat upright on the high chair in front, looked around, and said, "There are three things I have called everyone here for today."
"First, this True Lord has entered the Nascent Soul stage and will build a large immortal city here. It is planned to be completed within five years. This matter will be in charge of True Lord He. We must not weaken the momentum and must be on par with the immortal cities of other True Lords. You all need to help us."
"yes!"
Everyone agreed in unison.
"Secondly," Fairy Baiyin continued, "all the foundation-building cultivators who assisted in the defense of the city will be qualified as elders of the Immortal City. The specific rankings and positions will be allocated according to the statistics of their merits."
"Thank you, City Lord!"
This is a real reward, and everyone is very happy.
The position of a super immortal city elder at the Nascent Soul level is unimaginable in terms of status and potential benefits. If it were not for this situation, it would be impossible to get it.
Under normal circumstances, in an immortal city at the Yuanying level, the elders are all Jindan Zhenren.
Fairy Baiyin nodded and continued, "I have been wandering around, living alone, with no fixed place to live. Now that I have settled down, I plan to accept some disciples. The list has been drawn up, and Master Huahai will read it. If the person whose name is called already has a mentor, or there are other special reasons that prevent him from joining my sect, he can put it forward and he will not be blamed."
At this point, she let go of her aura and said in a cold voice: "But after entering the sect, if there are any traitors, this True Lord will kill them personally!"
As soon as this information came out, everyone in the hall became fanatical. They didn't listen to the warnings that followed. There was only one word in their minds: Nascent Soul disciple!
As long as one can become a disciple of Yuanying Zhenjun, not only will one soar to the sky, but one's status will also immediately become different. One can walk around freely in this fairy city without any problem. Even if a Jindan cultivator comes in the future, he will have to give him some face.
Such an opportunity is hard to find even with a lantern. Unless you have a problem in your brain, you will not agree to it.
Chen Lin was not blindly excited, but quickly weighed the pros and cons in his mind.
The benefits are self-evident.
But the disadvantages are also great. First of all, after becoming a disciple, you cannot leave the fairy city easily, and you cannot hide when your master has something to do. Once the other party has a powerful enemy, the disciple will also be eliminated.
This is only the case when the other party acts uprightly. If his methods tend to be evil and he dislikes the disciples, he may kill them at will.
At this time, Fairy Baiyin's voice sounded again, "I also want to say that although this True Lord has just entered the Nascent Soul stage, he will not accept disciples casually. Those who are accepted this time are only nominal disciples. Only those who perform outstandingly or are promoted to the Golden Core stage can become this True Lord's official disciples."
This was as it should be. Everyone was still as enthusiastic as ever, looking at Mr. He in front of them with anticipation, waiting for him to read out the list.
Seeing the Silver Fairy nod, Master He began to call out names.
When the ninth name was called, Chen Lin's name appeared, and several envious glances came from the surroundings.
Chen Lin has made a decision. The identity of a disciple still has more advantages than disadvantages. Now that it has fallen on him, he cannot give up, so he gladly agreed.
A total of twelve people were selected, of which only three were in the early stage of foundation building, five were in the late stage of foundation building, and four were in the middle stage of foundation building.
The rest who were not called all looked lost.
But this was the will of Yuanying Zhenjun, and no one dared to question it.
Chen Lin didn't know what the other party's judging criteria were. Among the remaining crowd, there were quite a few cultivators in the late and middle stages of foundation building, and some were even younger than him, but the quota fell on him.
Of course, he was not stupid enough to question it, but walked through the crowd and came to the front with the other monks who were called.
"Would you like to be my disciple?"
The Silver Fairy took a quick glance and said in a deep voice.
"Disciple is willing!"
Everyone said in unison.
"Okay!" Fairy Baiyin nodded and said, "This Master does not like red tape. Since you are just a nominal disciple, there is no need to hold any initiation ceremony. Master He is your senior brother. If there is anything you don't understand, go and ask him."
Fairy Baiyin stood up and waved her hand, saying, "I have something else to do. Please follow the command of Master He in everything. Let's go!"
Having said that, he floated away.
The twelve new disciples looked at each other in bewilderment. This master's worship was really sloppy, but they couldn't complain.
Master He, who was standing next to the high chair, also looked helpless.
Most people really cannot accept the temper of their master, but after breaking through to become a Nascent Soul True Lord, it doesn't matter anymore. Such a strong person no longer needs to care about other people's opinions.
"Okay, the disciple tokens and elder tokens are being made and will be distributed in a while. Everyone else can leave first. Junior brothers, please stay."
The Immortal gave the order and everyone immediately said goodbye and left.
Although I didn't get a disciple, I got the status of an elder, which is a huge benefit. I must go back and study how to maximize the benefits of this status.
Chen Lin and twelve others stood there waiting for instructions.
"Haha, we are all fellow disciples from now on, there is no need to be so reserved."
After everyone else had left, Master He smiled and motioned for Chen Lin and the others to sit down.
Everyone looked at it, but still didn't dare to sit down.
Although they are from the same school, they are only nominal disciples, while the other party is a Jindan Zhenren. How dare they be on equal terms with him
Seeing this, Master He did not force it and continued, "Let me briefly introduce you. Master is from the Yun family, a large and influential family in the southern cultivation world. His name is Yun Feiyan. He has been practicing for three hundred years. He is clean and efficient and does not like people who play tricks."
He paused for a moment and continued, "Master had a bad relationship with his family, so he went out on his own during the foundation building period. I was his disciple after he established his foundation, but we later separated for some reason. I had been practicing in other immortal cities before, and only came here after Master summoned me. In addition to me, Master has another disciple named Mu Linglong, who is your second senior sister. Because the distance is too far, she cannot come here for the time being, and her cultivation level is the great perfection of foundation building."
"Okay, just know this basic information, so that you don't have to know your master's name when others ask you. For now, you are all registered disciples, and there is no need to rank you. If someone is favored by the master and accepted as a disciple first, he or she will be ranked third, fourth, and so on. Now, everyone, get busy!"
Chen Lin and the others bowed again, "Thank you, Senior Brother. We'll take our leave now!"
After leaving the City Lord's Mansion, Chen Lin was not in the mood to wander around, so he went straight back to the shop.
In the next few days, the news of the elder and his disciple-taking spread, and the small shop suddenly became lively, with visitors coming in an endless stream, and many of them brought expensive gifts.
Chen Lin always refused with a smile.
The situation is unclear at the moment, and I still can't figure out my master's temper, so I'd better wait and see for a while.
At the same time, the disciple tokens and elder tokens were issued, and the positions were also clarified. His position was the deacon of the Alchemy Hall.
This position made Chen Lin suspicious. He felt that the other party chose his disciple with a purpose and accepted him because he knew he could make pills.
Sure enough, after some investigation, it was discovered that the other registered disciples also possessed certain skills and were assigned related positions.
After understanding this, Chen Lin couldn't help but smile bitterly. He thought that the Silver Fairy was attracted by his talent because of his extraordinary talent, but it turned out that she just wanted to get a free and reliable labor force.
The Alchemy Hall in the city had long been abandoned, and there were no decent alchemists, so he had to rebuild the Hall himself.
It seems that there is really no such thing as pie falling from the sky.
Chen Lin shook his head, but he felt a lot more relaxed.
He is not afraid of being conscripted, but he is afraid of not knowing why he is conscripted. Since the other party wants to use his alchemy skills, he will just do his best.
Immediately, he posted notices on the city wall to recruit alchemists and alchemy apprentices. The treatment was also a blank check, such as open alchemy recipes, free use of underground fire and alchemy furnaces, meritorious rewards, guidance from professional alchemists, promotion to manager position if the work was good, etc.
Anyway, as long as it doesn't cost spirit stones, any conditions can be promised.
It turns out that the effect was quite good. More than a dozen people signed up immediately. Most of them were alchemy apprentices, but there were also two alchemists. Although they were both practicing Qigong, their alchemy skills were still above average.
Using the remaining spiritual medicine materials in the city, everyone worked overtime and soon refined a batch of Qi training period pills, and the Pill Hall was reopened.
However, the Medicine Hall is not open to the public, and the elixirs here can only be exchanged for merits.
Not only the Pill Hall, but also other Talisman Halls, the Transmission Hall, the Weapon Refining Hall, etc., all require merit to be exchanged. They are considered the logistical support for the City Lord's Mansion, so the consumption is not large for the time being.
Logically speaking, the materials for alchemy should naturally be provided by the City Lord's Mansion, and they only provide the skills.
Unfortunately, the City Lord's Mansion has no manpower and no materials for him. Master He asked him to take full charge and make sure to produce some palace treasures in the shortest possible time to motivate the monks in the city to complete the task.
Otherwise, there will be nothing good in the halls of various categories, and the value of merit will be greatly reduced, which is very detrimental to the development of the city.
As an encouragement, the other party waved his hand and gave him the shop he was currently using and several townhouses next to it.
Other disciples also received corresponding encouragement, and the skills in the Transmission Hall were also open to them for free.
In order to repay a favor, Chen Lin couldn't just eat and take it for free. As a disciple, how could he not share the worries of his master at this time
So he could only grit his teeth and take out five marrow cleansing pills, five foundation building pills, and some foundation building pills, and directly put them on the merit exchange list!
