The Peerless Master

Chapter 831: Preliminary assessment

Views:

The waiter worked very efficiently and cleaned the pub in no time.

However, due to what happened to the eldest son of the Liu family earlier, most of the guests in the tavern had paid their bills and left, leaving only a few brave ones still eating and drinking.

Chen Feng was still sitting there drinking by himself, looking calm and without any sign of panic.

"Thank you very much, sir!" At this time, the waiter personally brought a pot of fine wine and some spiritual fruits and placed them on Chen Feng's table: "This wine is a hundred-fruit wine brewed by the shopkeeper himself, please try it."

Chen Feng looked at the waiter and couldn't help but smile: "Why don't we sit down and have a drink together?"

The waiter smiled frankly and without any pretense, and immediately sat opposite Chen Feng and poured a glass of wine for Chen Feng himself.

As soon as the wine comes out of the pot, it is full of fragrance.

"You don't need to drink good wine, just smell it and you'll know it's extremely precious. Brother Xiaoer must be more than just a waiter in this hotel." Chen Feng narrowed his eyes and said with a smile, "If he was just a waiter, how dare you give me such wine?"

"This big brother has good eyesight." The waiter was stunned for a moment, then smiled calmly and said, "The owner of this tavern is my adoptive father."

"I see." Chen Feng's face showed a gentleness after hearing this. He clasped his fists and said seriously, "It is I who was disrespectful."

The reason why Chen Feng stood up for the waiter just now was simply because he felt that the waiter was not simple. When a general shopkeeper saw a conflict between a customer and a waiter, he would often try every means to appease the customer. At this time, scolding the waiter was the best way to make the customer calm down. However, after the shopkeeper of this tavern came out, he not only did not do so, but instead blamed the waiter for not practicing diligently and being bullied. How could Chen Feng not see such obvious favoritism

Now it seems that it is true.

"Hey, don't be so distant. My godfather is just an old fogy guy. I've taken care of him all these years, but he makes me a second brother. It's really unfair." The waiter complained softly. Chen Feng could see that there was a trace of loneliness on the waiter's face.

It seems that this is also an ambitious person.

Although he thought so in his heart, Chen Feng put on a smile on his face: "Perhaps, Senior has his own plans."

"Maybe." The waiter said something that was not in his mind, but then he changed the subject: "Brother, are you also here to participate in the Chaotian Sect's disciple-recruiting ceremony?"

"Yes." Chen Feng did not deny it.

"Then you must be fully prepared. My old man said that this disciple-taking ceremony is different from previous years. There may be life-threatening dangers at any time." The waiter said seriously.

"Oh?" Chen Feng raised his eyebrows: "I would like to hear the details."

"Hey, I'm not sure either." The waiter said depressedly, "My old man never told me these things. I just overheard this information when he was visiting a guest."

Chen Feng felt a little regretful, but he did not back down at all: "Everything depends on human effort. If we escape because of danger, how can we reach the top?"

"Big brother, you have a good heart." The waiter praised: "My old man also said this for a long time. Big brother, how should I call you?"

"Chen Feng. What about you?"

"Wang Xiaoer!" Xiaoer straightened his chest and said seriously.

After chatting with Wang Xiaoer for a long time, Chen Feng also gained a preliminary understanding of the power structure in the Luzhou area.

The Chaotian Sect, Feixian Sect, and Binghe Sect are the three sects that stand side by side and constitute the top forces in Luzhou. Moreover, these three sects have always been the top three sects in the cultivation world, and no one can match them. Of course, those hidden sects are not included.

If these hidden sects are included, what position the three sects are in, I am afraid only those powerful scattered immortals know. However, Chen Feng still believes that Chaotian Sect is definitely not simple. Judging from the standards of Dandan's disciples, he is destined to be powerful.

There are two ways for Chaotian Sect to recruit disciples.

The first one is the disciple-recruiting ceremony. The disciple-recruiting ceremony is held every ten years, and every time it can recruit countless monks with strong qualifications. The Chaotian Sect’s disciple-recruiting standards are extremely harsh. They do not accept those who are too old, those with weak cultivation, and those with low talents. This "three no-recruiting" standard, like a big wave washing away the sand, has blocked countless monks from entering the mountain gate.

The minimum strength to enter Chaotian Sect is the Spirit Severing Stage, and age and qualifications must also be assessed, which is extremely strict.

The second way for Chaotian Sect to recruit disciples is to actively look for good seedlings. This method is more stringent. If there is no one with extraordinary talent, Chaotian Sect will generally disdain him. Just like when Chaotian Sect approached Lingkong, it was nothing more than because they were attracted by Lingkong's sword body. Later, Lingkong was crippled by Chen Feng, and Chaotian Sect immediately ignored him because Lingkong no longer had the qualifications to attract Chaotian Sect.

After bidding farewell to Wang Xiaoer, Chen Feng followed the crowd to the mountain gate of Chaotian Sect.

The ceremony of accepting disciples will begin in three days, but the preliminary screening has already begun.

Outside the Chaotian Sect, there were already Chaotian Sect disciples conducting preliminary assessments on the cultivators who wanted to register. This assessment was nothing more than recording their cultivation and age, and then issuing an assessment token. Only those who received this assessment token could participate in the Chaotian Sect's disciple-recruiting ceremony three days later.

Fortunately, this preliminary assessment has been going on for some time, so although there are many people outside the Chaotian Sect’s mountain gate, it is not particularly crowded.

The disciples who were being tested were all at the Tribulation Crossing Stage. They wore the uniforms of Chaotian Sect disciples and tested the monks in line in an orderly manner.

"You are not qualified. Although you have reached the Spirit Severing Stage, you are too old and will be eliminated." A disciple said to a cultivator without even looking up, causing the cultivator to turn pale and then leave dejectedly.

The assessment was so ruthless that during the time Chen Feng was waiting, dozens of people were eliminated. Only about a quarter of the people were able to pass the preliminary assessment.

Soon Chen Feng was relieved. Most of the people who were able to participate in the Chaotian Sect's assessment were independent practitioners. They did not have good resources, good skills, and their cultivation speed was slow. They were not as good as those disciples with backgrounds, and the probability of being eliminated was much greater.

Watching the lonely figures around him leave one by one, Chen Feng gradually came to the front of the team.

However, Chen Feng did not see that in the distance, there was a young man staring at him with cold eyes.

If Chen Feng saw him, he would definitely recognize him, because this person was the cultivator who had followed the eldest son of the Liu family in the hotel before.

Seeing that Chen Feng was about to take part in the preliminary assessment, a gleam of resentment flashed in the eyes of the cultivator. Then, he spread his body and disappeared in the crowd in a short while.
