Chapter 49: Chapter 49: Evil Suppressing Dharma Eye

“Senior Brother.”

Qian Jiang bowed and said, “Junior Brother has already prepared a banquet to welcome Senior Brother. Please, move this way.”

“This time, let’s not.”

Yan Zhongli gently shook his head, “It’s not that I’m rebuffing your kindness, it’s just that this time, in rescuing people from that demon, several days have already been delayed. I cannot stay here any longer; otherwise, it would be hard to explain if I return too late.”

Qian Jiang understood, nodded, and did not insist further.

According to the usual itinerary, Yan Zhongli still had more than ten commanderies to visit. If he were to stop at each commandery, he definitely wouldn’t be able to return to the Mountain Gate on time.

“In that case, Junior Brother will not keep Senior Brother any longer.”

Qian Jiang reached out and took out a roster with detailed records of each disciple’s origin and background.

Before all new disciples are initiated, these cultivators stationed in various locations conduct thorough investigations on each prospective young initiate to ensure each disciple’s background is clean, preventing individuals with ill intentions from infiltrating the Sect.

This was only for Outer Disciples; entering the Inner Sect required passing through even more rigorous tests to eliminate all possible insiders to the greatest extent.

Yan Zhongli took the roster in his hands, glanced over it briefly, and turned to beckon to a young man lying next to a Bengal tiger on the tower ship, “Fang Zheng, you arrange these new disciples.”

“Yes, Martial Uncle.”

The young man, accompanied by the tiger, quietly leaped down, taking the roster respectfully with both hands.

He was called Fang Zheng, and his name was as upright as his appearance; his face radiated integrity, making it apparent he was a just and upright young man.

Such a person, though not very tactful in handling matters, always adhered to the rules and was most trustworthy.

Of course, he was also quite stubborn; once he believed in something, it was hard to persuade him otherwise.

He turned to the group of young men and spoke loudly, “My name is Fang Zheng, you can call me Senior Brother Fang. I am ordered by Martial Uncle Yan to escort all Junior Brothers to the Sect.

To avoid delaying our return to the Sect, we will not stay here. I trust everyone has already said farewell to their families.

Now, anyone whose name I call, should come up to the tower ship.”

As his words fell, a rope ladder was dropped from the tower ship behind him.

This rope ladder was specially prepared for these new disciples, as many had just opened their Spiritual Acupoints and had low Dao Cultivation; without this ladder, it would truly be difficult for these young men to climb aboard.

“Zhao Jinglei.”

Fang Zheng opened the roster and meticulously read out the first name.

“Present.”

The young heir of the Zhao Family quickly responded, stepping forward.

Fang Zheng did not show any preferential treatment because he was a member of the Zhao Family; his expression unchanged, he just seriously looked him in the eye.

And following Fang Zheng’s gaze towards Zhao Jinglei was also the Bengal tiger by his side.

The moment Zhao Jinglei was scrutinized by both man and tiger, he felt a shock in his heart, almost as if his deepest secrets were being seen through, making him somewhat uneasy.

Fortunately, Fang Zheng soon shifted his gaze away from him and said lightly, “Go ahead.”

Zhao Jinglei then hurriedly gathered his spirit, somewhat frantically approached the rope ladder, and using his Light Body Skill, lightly tapped several times on the ladder and rather gracefully boarded the tower ship.

After handing over the roster to Fang Zheng, Yan Zhongli stood beside Qian Jiang, watching these young men and softly chatting.

After seeing Zhao Jinglei’s performance, he couldn’t help but frown slightly and glanced at Qian Jiang beside him, asking, “Is this the descendant of Zhao Tianyi? He doesn’t look very impressive!”

Qian Jiang shook his head, “Although this year’s disciples are fairly decent, if you’re talking about outstanding talents, there are none.

Even though that Zhao Family boy has reached the late stage of Qi Refinement, his progress wasn’t through his own painstaking cultivation but rather by relying on external forces to advance, merely staying ahead of others temporarily; he’s not truly exceptional.”

He sighed inwardly, thinking that the disciples from Tieling County this year were just mediocre, no different from previous years.

After all, geniuses are hard to come by, easily.

“So it is.”

Yan Zhongli glanced over the group of youths a few times then didn’t bother to look further.

As Qian Jiang had said, these disciples were mediocre and none stood out.

However, his face soon regained a smile, “That’s my greed talking. True, ordinary talents are plentiful, but those once-in-a-millennium cultivation seeds are naturally not as abundant, discovering even one is a stroke of tremendous luck.”

Meanwhile, Fang Zheng was reciting the names of the youths selected from Tieling County, pausing to scrutinize each youth as they passed in front of him.

Each youth scrutinized by him couldn’t help but feel a sense of reverence deep in their hearts towards him.

Soon, Qin Feng heard his name.

As he approached Fang Zheng, he immediately understood why the preceding youths had acted so unnaturally in front of him.

It was because the other’s gaze seemed to contain endless authority, revealing the true nature of anyone with ill intentions and instilling fear in the hearts of those who had committed misdeeds.

This appeared to be some special Divine Skill.

Even though Qin Feng considered himself a person with principles, he felt extremely uncomfortable under that gaze, as if someone was righteously criticizing his past misconduct.

Fortunately, Fang Zheng only examined these disciples for a moment, and as long as no one was impersonating others, the rest didn’t concern him. Thus, to avoid putting too much pressure on the new disciples, he quickly withdrew his gaze.

“Go ahead.”

Upon hearing this, Qin Feng breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly grabbed the rope ladder, propelling himself upwards with a few quick steps until he was on the tower ship.

His ascent was relatively smooth, after all, he had reached the third level of Qi Refinement, and his practice of common spells was also very proficient during this period.

Those youths from poor families had comparatively weaker cultivation, mostly at the first or second level of Artifact Refining, with a few who had just recently opened their Spiritual Acupoints and didn’t know any spells, clumsily using their hands and feet to climb laboriously.

Qian Jiang, observing the youths’ awestruck demeanor in front of Fang Zheng, couldn’t help but praise, “Nephew Fang indeed has excellent fortune and talent, having been able to cultivate Divine Skills ahead of time. Given his current realm, he might be able to form a Golden Core within a few years.”

Yan Zhongli nodded, “Indeed, Nephew Fang’s talent is truly remarkable, and what’s rarer is his Daoist Heart’s strong alignment with his Lifebound Spiritual Beast, which enabled him to cultivate Divine Skills prematurely due to a fortuitous match.

In fact, based on his abilities and talent, he should have entered the Inner Sect a long time ago, but unfortunately, during the evaluation that year, he was sabotaged by a few Noble Heirs using underhanded tactics, ultimately exhausting his Spiritual Power and failing to advance, forcing him to continue his cultivation in the Outer Sect.”

Hearing this, Qian Jiang raised an eyebrow but said nothing.

He too was a Noble Heir from a Sect family, and it was indeed hard to respond to that remark.

Yan Zhongli didn’t mind and continued, “However, it’s not too late now. Nephew Fang’s Lifebound Spiritual Beast possesses the Bi’an Bloodline, whose Innate Divine Ability can distinguish loyalty from treachery, discern good from evil, and intimidate the unlawful; all who harbor ill intentions are unable to hide in its presence.

Once Nephew Fang cultivated this Evil Suppressing Dharma Eye with the help of his Lifebound Spiritual Beast, he was designated by the Law Enforcement Hall’s Mingxin Hall Master as a potential disciple for the Inner Sect, just waiting for him to complete his trial.

Speaking of which, this lad’s future prospects could be much stronger than those juniors who schemed against him.”

Qian Jiang smiled and remained silent.

He knew Yan Zhongli’s disposition, and the words were not intended to stir up tension between Sect families and disciples from poorer backgrounds, but were simply a spontaneous remark.
