After the mind-reading cripple junior sister, the entire sect rose to prominence.

Chapter 228 Selection Begins

“The Immortal Sect is different from other sects. They have experienced some changes in the past. Most of their original disciples left, and some even joined the Immortal Sect. As a result, the huge sect is now only left with a few dozen people. If they start recruiting from young children now, how many years will it take for the sect to be established?”

“That makes sense. They are short-handed right now. While young children are good, it takes too long to train them. It would be better to recruit some adult disciples first.”

"That's true, but the loyalty of adult disciples to the sect is a serious concern!"

"Well, there's nothing we can do about that. We can't take care of everything at once. Let's solve the biggest problem first."

"However, there are too many people eyeing the Breakthrough Pill now. There must be spies from other families among those queuing up. I wonder if the Immortal Sect has the ability to pick them all out."

"If we can't find any suitable candidates, then we're just wasting money training talent for other factions!"

Especially the Breakthrough Pills; it's heartbreaking to think that they might all fall into the hands of spies!

The people of Purple Leaf City really want the Immortal Sect to have a good future, as it's a mutually beneficial thing, and naturally they don't want them to be schemed against by other villains.

However, they couldn't be of much help in this matter, since the people who came were scattered all over the mainland, and no one knew their background.

Everything now depends on the Immortal Sect itself!

"The mountain gate is open! Look!"

"It really opened!"

"Is this the start of the disciple selection process?"

There was a commotion in the crowd, as they noticed some activity at the entrance of the Xianlai Sect.

The people in line perked up and looked ahead.

Upon closer inspection, it was a sight to behold.

Seven beautiful young women stood at the gate, each with bright eyes and white teeth, and graceful as willow branches. The woman in the middle was particularly spirited.

"Welcome to the Immortal Sect! Our sect's disciple recruitment and selection process will begin immediately!"

“Those who are unwell, please step forward and follow us into the hall to rest and wait, so that you may alleviate some of your pain.”

Lu Lai first clasped his hands in greeting to those around him, then announced loudly, "Those with minor injuries who can walk on their own can go alone, while those with serious injuries who need assistance can bring others with them."

Huang Ye then stepped out and said with a smile, "Please follow me into the hall."

As soon as he finished speaking, the crowd began to move, and people stepped out of the line one after another, following Huang Ye into the mountain gate.

Some onlookers nodded in approval, saying, "This is a very good move."

Considering their injury, they were allowed to go inside and rest first, which shows great consideration.

Although the remaining people were not sick and could not enter in advance, they developed an initial goodwill towards the Xianlai Sect because of these words.

Compared to those indifferent major sects, sects that treat people like human beings are naturally more likely to gain acceptance.

The line of patients was long and slowly moving toward the sect. Lu Lai ignored them and instead arranged for people to begin assessing the remaining cultivators.

The group was divided into 5 teams, each led by one of the five maids, who were responsible for the initial registration, questioning, and screening.

As for Lu Lai, she was in charge of the overall situation and always stood by, ready to step forward whenever needed.

However, before registration begins, the maids will ask the arriving monks to stand on the wooden planks in front of them.

It can only be called a wooden board because it is square, has some intricate patterns on it, and is a woody brown color.

The center position is for placing crystals. After the crystals are placed on the wooden board, it seems that there is no reaction at all. It is really hard to tell what this thing is.

The arriving cultivators were somewhat puzzled, but they complied after being asked to stand on it.

"Name." Qi Qi picked up her pen and looked up to ask the first cultivator in front of her.

This was a dark-skinned young man whose eyes were scanning her up. After a moment, he spoke, "Zhao Shan." As soon as he finished speaking, the wooden plank he was standing on suddenly shook.

Qi Qi immediately frowned and said coldly, "Get down, next one."

The young man was taken aback. "What do you mean? Why?"

"You're eliminated. Get off the stage."

The young man was still in a daze, but he subconsciously left the board. The female cultivator behind him stepped forward and stood on the board at Qi Qi's instruction.

"Name?" Qi Qi asked.

“Jiang Yan,” the female cultivator said.

"Age, cultivation level."

"26, Qi Refining Stage."

No sooner had he finished speaking than the board shook again.

Qi Qi's brow twitched. "You go down too, next one."

The female cultivator was startled, bit her lip, and seemed to realize something.

"No, why? Why were we eliminated?" Zhao Shan finally realized what was happening and shouted angrily, immediately attracting the attention of many people.

"Stop shouting!" Lu Lai reprimanded coldly as she stepped forward.

"No, you don't even have a reason for eliminating people? We've come all this way with great difficulty, why should we be eliminated just because you say so!" Zhao Shan was getting angry.

Just then, problems arose in several other teams as well, with some members being forced off the wooden planks and shouting in protest.

"Keep quiet!"

Liu Feng, who was patrolling here, stepped onto the top of the nearest tree with a single step.

His voice rang out at the opportune moment. His profound spiritual power at the Nascent Soul stage allowed his voice to resonate easily throughout the entire area, even those standing at the far back could hear it clearly.

"This wooden board is called the Truth Board. If anyone standing on it tells a lie, the board will react, and all liars will be considered to have ulterior motives and will be eliminated."

"Those who have come to participate in the selection, please watch your words. Those with ulterior motives, please leave. If you cause trouble here, don't blame me for being merciless with my sword!"

Liu Feng drew his sword, its tip gleaming with a cold, eerie light.

The entire audience was stunned; no one spoke for a moment.

Truth board?

There's actually such a thing in this world!
Liu Shan, the woman, and the other teams who were defiant and clamoring all changed their expressions. They glanced at the truth board with considerable apprehension, then hurriedly turned and left.

Moreover, many people in the queue panicked and quickly left the line.

Liu Feng observed this and sighed inwardly—

Jiuwei is really amazing; this truth board is truly useful.

Moreover, pointing out its function in public has a deterrent effect on others. Those with ill intentions will not dare to gamble and will leave the group on their own, thus saving the Immortal Sect time for questioning.

It saves time and improves the efficiency of selecting disciples!

Just as everyone thought, the people of Xianlai Sect were also worried that they didn't have enough manpower and couldn't effectively select disciples.

It was Mo Jiuwei who made the suggestion, recommending that this Truth Tablet be made specifically for preliminary screening.

She drew the talismans, and Hu Jiu made five mantra tablets. There was a bit of a rush, but they were still made.
