Chapter 589: Disciples!
Lin Xuan Qi went to Old Feng’s inn where Lao Er and Ling Er were staying.
And there was a commotion in the dining area when he arrived.
"It’s the two young man and woman you’ve asked me to take good care of, they were getting visitors the whole day after they came back." Old Feng explained to him what was going on while he poured a cup of tea for him.
Lin Xuan Qi nodded his head and glanced over at the area of the dining hall where everyone else was gathered.
"Master Lao Er, we welcome your South Lin Sword Sect to be part of our clan, we are willing to offer Spirit Stones and any other resources that you will need." One of the men crowding around Lao Er and Ling Er said.
Another one of them quickly raised his voice and put up a counter offer, "We are willing to let you be on your own, we just need you to help out once in a while when we need to."
All of them were from the Clans and other sects willing to get Lao Er and Ling Er under their influence if they could.
The performance of Lao Er and Ling Er caught their eyes and they didn’t mind having more young talented cultivators into their fold.
But Lao Er and Ling Er weren’t interested in their offer.
They shook their heads and said, "We are looking for disciples to join our sect, you can join if you are interested."
"Join your sect?" The men and women crowding around had never expected it from them and they glanced at each other not knowing how to respond.
Finally, one of them cupped his hands at Lao Er and Ling Er, "I guess you aren’t interested in our offer, may the heavenly dao be kind to you."
He said and turned around to leave.
The others who were from the clans and sects proceeded to do the same one after another.
And soon, there were only a few rogue cultivators left.
"You may leave if you aren’t interested." Lao Er said and waved at them, gesturing for them to leave.
He wanted to get on with his dinner that had been disrupted by the crowd earlier.
But these rogue cultivators didn’t leave and stood there.
"We are here to be in your sect." One of them said and the others also nodded their heads.
They had been wandering around, fighting for cultivation resources, and it was a tiring life to live.
If they could get into the sect of Lao Er and Ling Er, they would be able to have a stable environment for cultivation.
"Really?!" Lao Er was surprised by their intention and he didn’t know what to do next. He wasn’t prepared for it.
Ling Er quickly raised her voice and said, "I know that you are eager to join, but we have strict requirements for it.
"First, you must not have been a..."
While Ling Er went on to brief them on what they were looking for in them, mainly cultivators who weren’t evil and went around killing senselessly, Lin Xuan Qi glanced at Old Feng and said, "I have something for them, bring me to their room."
Old Feng nodded his head and said, "Come with me, Master Lin."
Lin Xuan Qi followed him and when he got into the room where they were staying alone, he took out the loot he had gotten earlier in the arena from the Qing Feng Sect senior disciples.
Together with the rewards for winning their match, these Spirit Stones would be able to help Lao Er and Ling Er get the sect started now that they would be having disciples.
He also left a storage artifact for them to use; transporting these Spirit Stones would be an issue for them, and he knew the pain of it when he didn’t have one before.
After he was done, he got out of the room and headed back home.
When Lao Er and Ling Er got back from the dining area, they were surprised to see all the Spirit Stones that were on the table of their room.
"There’s so many."
The hundred-odd Spirit Stones were piled up into a small hill on the table.
However, their joy was short-lived and they thought that it might be a trap laid for them by one of the clans and sects that they had rejected earlier.
Lao Er took out the incense urn, placed it on his bed and bowed to it, "Grand Ancestor Lin, I have news for you."
The familiar low coarse voice sounded from the incense urn, "Speak."
"We managed to get five rogue cultivators into the sect, but we aren’t too sure where these Spirit Stones came from..." Lao Er said and he glanced over at the table in the middle of the room with the Spirit Stones piled up on it.
"Those Spirit Stones are gifts from an old friend of mine.
"He was always loyal and generous to me.
"I will let both of you get to know him when the time is ripe, focus on making sure those new cultivators are trustworthy and good enough in the meantime." The low coarse voice said and Lao Er nodded his head at it.
"Yes, Grand Ancestor Lin."
Lao Er and Ling Er gave out a sigh of relief after they heard Lin Xuan Qi.
They weren’t too sure who the friend of Grand Ancestor Lin was but they were sure that it was someone who was pretty generous with a gift of so many Spirit Stones.
"We might need to get a cart to transport them back to Gui Feng City." Lao Er frowned and said.
But the low coarse voice from the incense urn sounded again, "There’s a leopard statue by the side of the Spirit Stones which is a storage Artifact that you can use."
"Thank you so much, Grand Ancestor Lin." Lao Er thanked the incense urn.
Ling Er shook her head at him and said, "You should be thanking Grand Ancestor Lin’s friend instead."
"It doesn’t matter." The low coarse voice sounded and Ling Er bowed her head at it.
They wouldn’t have guessed that it was the same person behind it all.
...
Finally, after a long day, Lin Xuan Qi arrived back at the mansion.
"Xuan Qi, you are back finally." Xue Cong and the others’ voices welcoming him back were comforting for him to hear.
