Chapter 16

Ye Yan figured that he didn’t have to worry about the recruitment task since he could just go down the mountain and find his peers when he had the time.

As for the construction of the sect, it was indeed a big problem. First of all, he didn’t have money, but he could think of a way to solve that. However, there was another bigger problem: He did not know how to build a house. Yes, he couldn’t build the typical house! Moreover, it was simply impossible to complete such a large project with just the three of them!

[Ding! The system has detected the host’s anxiety. The system has thus specially launched a building function. The host can freely synthesize buildings according to your thoughts. Please check it out.]

Great! The system was here to give him benefits again! Ye Yan even felt like kowtowing to this considerate system. He quickly opened the internal storage panel and activated the building function. Sure enough, familiar grids appeared in his vision again.

“Tsk, is this the only way the system can operate? it’s just synthesizing again and again…”

Putting that aside, according to what he was presented with now, there were two basic grids this time. One required a pillar, and the other required a frame. There was another “add” button behind the basic grids where he could choose to add things freely. It seemed that the synthesis this time was really based on his own ideas.

The result of the construction would depend on the materials used. If high-grade materials were added, the product built should be very high-grade, right?

Ye Yan looked at his internal storage, there was nothing except for spirit stones, some spiritual plant seeds, and farm tools.

It seemed that there was nothing that could be used for construction. Yes, there was indeed nothing. In the end, Ye Yan found that he was a poor man!

“Forget it. I’ll think about the construction materials later. Right now, I still have to recruit people,” If he didn’t have a house, he could slowly build it, but without people, there would be no meaning to the sect.

Collecting the materials was only a matter of time. When the time came, he could gather his disciples to gather the materials together. With the construction synthesizing grid, building a house would not be a problem at all.

However, the weather today was quite strange. It was not as calm as during early spring. From the fluctuation of the airflow, Ye Yan felt that the weather was going to change soon. A storm was probably on its way.

Looking at the sky covered with dark clouds, Ye Yan’s face turned dark as his thoughts drifted back to that day of the blizzard.

“Wait!” Realizing that his thoughts were not right, he quickly knocked his head twice, then turned around and went into the house, “Let’s stop for now. We have to go down the mountain. It’s time to recruit people.”

With that, the three of them immediately went down the mountain. They arranged two offering tables together and placed them on the grain-sunning ground in the village. Then, the three of them sat down.

The grain-sunning ground was located in the middle of the village. Even people who were busy with their work had to pass by it, especially children. Because the place was spacious, most children would gather there.

It wasn’t time for the autumn harvest yet, so no one was drying anything. Ye Yan and the others simply settled down here. Then, Ye Yan chuckled and shouted, “Come, come, come, everyone, look at me! The God-slaying Sect is recruiting!”

Buzz! His words immediately startled the pedestrians on the road. Many could not help but stop and look over in confusion.

Being the focus of everyone’s gaze, Ye Yan didn’t seem to be embarrassed at all, “Brother, brother, have you ever cultivated before? Have you ever experienced what it’s like to be immortal? Do you want to try to clean up your place with a tap of your finger? Have you ever thought of finishing the spring farmwork easily? Join us, the God-slaying Sect! We have unlimited cultivation resources waiting for you. Come quickly, you’re always welcome!”

Sect Master Ye’s words immediately received a lot of feedback.

The people who were eating at home all looked over. Even those who were working put down their tools and took the opportunity to rest. Some who had been sleeping and resting in their rooms rushed out with sticks excitedly after hearing Ye Yan’s words. Very quickly, a few idle people with nothing to do surrounded him.

“Eh? Aren’t you the grandson of the Old Master Ye? Why are you here in the village and promoting something?” A burly man recognized Ye Yan and asked.

Ye Yan nodded and smiled without saying anything. What he needed now was publicity, and it was not enough to rely on himself. How would others believe the words of a child? Therefore, the power of public opinion was needed. These people from all walks of life would always bring up this matter when they talked. With that, as time passed, the news would become increasingly bizarre as it spread. As a result, someone would be bound to come at the right time due to fate. Therefore, all he needed to do now was to keep his cool and not ruin his image.

“Hey, this kid just said something about immortality and easy farm work? Hey, it can’t be that he’s dreaming, right?”

“F*ck! The kid is talking nonsense, just ignore him!”

The villagers started to discuss one after another, each having their opinions on Ye Yan’s words.

Another man came up and sneered at Ye Yan, “What’s wrong? Little brother Yan, you’re so great now, huh? A sect? why don’t you acknowledge me as your master now and I’ll teach you a few moves? Hehe!”

When Chen Geng heard this person’s ridicule, he couldn’t hold it in any longer. To think someone dared to question his Brother Yan. Just as he was about to lose his temper, Ye Yan pulled his sleeve and shook his head, indicating for the latter to calm down with his eyes. Chen Geng suddenly realized that Brother Yan had plans.

Facing the burly man’s ridicule, Ye Yan didn’t say anything and just smiled. Seeing him like this, the villagers exploded with discussion again, and the sound of doubt and ridicule was endless. Ye Yan simply smiled. He knew that someone would arrive soon.

Word of mouth continued to spread, and soon half the village came to see the children make a fool of themselves. Because of this, the first person he had his eyes on finally arrived.

“Sect Master Ye, what do you think of me?” Suddenly, a figure pushed through the crowd and appeared in front of Ye Yan.

Ye Yan felt a shadow appear in front of his eyes. He raised his head slowly and smiled after seeing the person clearly, “Brother Liu, you’ve finally arrived!”

Liu Kan bowed deeply, “I’ve heard that the sect master is recruiting, so I’m here to pay my respects and request to join!”

When the villagers saw Liu Kan appear, they were all shocked. The originally lively crowd became even more excited.

“Eh? That’s Liu Kan, right?”

“That’s Old Liu’s son. Shouldn’t his mother be asking him to stay at home to study? How would he have the time to hang out with these kids?”

“Eh, you don’t seem to know about this. A few days ago, Young Master Liu’s mother seemed to have some health issues.”

“Issues? With the Liu family’s riches, what’s a slight illness? What does this have to do with his son?”

Some of the close relatives of the Liu family knew the cause of the matter and quickly changed the topic. They knew how serious this matter was. As a result, the surrounding discussions drowned out one another, but it did not disturb the few people behind the table at all.

“Alright, welcome,” Ye Yan nodded, agreeing to Liu Kan’s request.

[Ding! A new disciple has joined!]

[Name: Liu Kan]

[Bone Age: 10 years]

[Physical State: Good]

[Aptitude: Dao sect’s proud son of heaven]

[Cultivation: 0/100 (mortal, no realm)]

[Sect Identity: Outer sect disciple (+)]

[Sect Position: None (+)]

Ye Yan’s eyes stopped on the aptitude column, and he was stunned for a while. The proud son of heaven! This was the first time he had seen someone with a similar evaluation to his own. It seemed that Liu Kan’s future was also limitless! Perhaps, everyone had the potential to cultivate, but they couldn’t develop it because they didn’t encounter a good opportunity!
