Under the leadership of the old man, everyone arrived at the plaza. The plaza was around seven to eight hundred meters squared, and was made up of large pieces of hard rock, but the size of the rocks was almost no different. The surface was polished to a very smooth state, and there was not the slightest roughness in walking on it.

At the far end of the square, too, was a high platform of boulders, upon which were several chairs, one of them more prominent than the others, on which stood a dragon with two play beads carved into the back of its chair, and which extended from the top of the back of the chair to the handle of the release chair. The dragon's tail was vivid and lifelike, the chair was thick and heavy, and made entirely of solid, precious wood and sandalwood.

Behind the chair were seven or eight chairs. Although they were also made of fine wood, they were much more ordinary compared to the chairs in front of them.

At this moment, a group of people walked up onto the stage. The person in the lead was tall and sturdy with luxurious clothing, his gait exuded an extraordinary aura and an imposing aura, causing people to feel extremely stifled. There were a few white-bearded elders behind him, and a few able-bodied ones. However, they all exuded an aura that was far inferior to the one in front. One of them was the old man responsible for recruiting people.

The first person to sit in the luxurious chair seemed to have been custom-made for him, further emphasizing his aura. Several people in the back sat separately.

The elder who had led everyone onto the stage then cleared his throat and said, "Everyone, please give me a bit of energy. I will now introduce these people to everyone."

"This is our Falling Cloud Sect's Master Ye Tian Ye!" The old man raised his voice.

"Greetings, Sect Leader Ye!" Everyone cupped their fists and greeted the sect head.

The old man introduced the eight people behind him one by one. They were all elders of the Falling Cloud Sect and all of them had the strength of at least the eighth level of the Postliminary Realm.

"I now invite Sect Master Ye to speak for everyone!"

Sect Master Ye stood up, and looked around at the rest of the people. "Everyone has strong willpower to be able to pass the test of our Falling Cloud Sect, and to be able to be in the top thirty. Our Falling Cloud Sect does not put emphasis on a single person's talent. Only those with strong willpower can tread further on the road of martial arts! "

After pausing for a moment, Sect Master Ye continued, "Everyone who has entered my Falling Cloud Sect is a disciple of my Falling Cloud Sect and is under the protection of my Falling Cloud Sect. Let's not talk too much. Elder Qin will introduce the Falling Cloud Sect to you in detail. " With that, he returned to his seat.

That Elder Qin stood up, "My Falling Cloud Sect has a few rules, please remember: First, you must not betray the sect, this is the most basic of principles, those who betray the sect will be punished with extreme punishment, we will let you live a life worse than death! Second, you can't kidnap and plunder. Violators can dig out their eyes and cut off the tendons in their hands and feet! Third, you are not allowed to fight amongst ourselves for no reason, and violators will be expelled from the sect, never to be recruited. "

"This is the basic rule. As for the other details, we will give each of your books a detailed description of the Falling Cloud Sect." "You guys will be under the guidance of a master of Houtian seventh stage. The school has a manual as well as a study of alchemy, and inside it is a book containing the foundation of our sect. Each of you can borrow it to read, and the details will be seen in the book that you will be issued later."

"Great, the Falling Cloud Sect is indeed the biggest sect in River City. They are very generous. They can even borrow books on cultivation and alchemy at will, especially those sects with lesser alchemy skills. This is great."

Zhao Kui was actually thinking about something else. "Alchemy?" "Looks like there's nothing wrong with my visit this time around. There really is something out of the ordinary."

Elder Qin coughed and everyone immediately quieted down, "In a while, everyone is going to collect the books over there." He pointed to the side of the plaza. It was a man dressed as a disciple of the Falling Cloud Sect and some books were placed beside him.

Two extremely terrifying auras flew over. Sect Leader Ye and some elders who were sitting on the stage stood up and quickly walked down from the stage. They bowed down and cupped their fists towards the two figures that had rushed up to the stage and said, "Greetings, two great elders!"

"Right." The two of them did not even look at the crowd and just snorted twice.

Everyone was still trembling with fear, fearing that they might have messed with the two ancestors. Lord Ye opened his mouth and said, "I wonder what brings the two great elders here?"

"Junior Brother and I heard that in this disciple recruitment, there was actually a fifteen-sixteen year old disciple who had reached the Houtian fifth stage. Is this true?" The old man looked at Sect Head Ye and said.

In a panic, Sect Leader Ye lowered his head and did not dare to raise it. He glanced at the elder who was accepting disciples at the foot of the mountain, blaming the elder for not informing him about the news and hinting him to answer.

That elder understood and replied, "Reporting to the Supreme Elder, there seems to be such a disciple. The Supreme Elder is diligently cultivating in seclusion, so I never would have thought that he would be so concerned about such a small matter."

The elder impatiently waved his hand, turned around and said to the new disciple that had just entered the Falling Cloud Sect, "That kid, come out and let us take a look."

At this time, the new disciples were under the influence of the two great elders. Their foreheads were beaded with sweat, and they stood there not daring to even breathe.

Zhao Kui's complexion did not change, he walked out from the crowd, cupped his fist and bowed to the two elders, and replied: "Reporting to the Grand Elder, the boy is actually at the fourth stage, but he has great strength, barely able to lift up the iron block representing the fifth stage of strength, which does not count as the fifth stage of Houtian."

"Well, you are a good boy, even if you don't have the strength of Houtian fifth stage, but you will soon reach the fifth stage." Well, you are a good boy, even if you don't have the strength of Houtian fifth stage, it will be very good for you to reach the fifth stage.

Only then did Zhao Kui return to the crowd. Although his expression was normal, his heart was not as calm as it was before. "I heard from the boss that there are two Upper Sky Realm warriors in the Falling Cloud Sect. Those two are powerful Upper Sky Realm warriors. Zhao Kui thought to himself as he looked forward to the Innate Realm.

After everyone had finished receiving the books, the old man who had led them to the square then led them to their dorms. The dorms for the new disciples were located in the back mountain, and the distribution for each of the new disciples happened to be according to the rankings. Zhao Kui, Hu Xing, and Zhang Zhi were assigned to one of the dormitories, which made the three of them extremely happy.

After entering the dorm, the daily necessities were all there. The Falling Cloud Sect was quite thoughtful. Zhao Kui flipped open the book he had received and started reading.

After a long time had passed, Zhao Kui closed the book and let out a soft sigh, silently thinking about the contents of the book. He thought about the information mentioned in the book that each disciple could receive one pellet to increase their inner strength and strength in a month, which was very rare in the previous world.

And this Falling Cloud Sect actually gave out two pellets to each disciple every month, compared to the miraculous pellet that could only heal Shaolin's wounds. The pellets distributed by the Falling Cloud Sect shouldn't be inferior in value to the small pellets. Zhao Kui was filled with curiosity towards the art of alchemy.
