The moment someone finished speaking, a powerful pressure suddenly descended. Everyone trembled, and the originally lively crowd instantly became silent.

Everyone lowered their heads, as if there was a towering mountain pressing on their shoulders. They could not even straighten their bodies. It took a moment for them to barely adapt. Even so, their expressions were somewhat ugly.

Is this the majesty of a powerful cultivator? Ye Xuan endured the discomfort and looked up at the person.

A graceful figure descended from the sky. She was wearing a white veil and looked like an immortal. She was as cold as ice and her skin was as white as jade as if it was made of ice and snow.

Her beautiful eyes swept through the crowd and she said indifferently, “I am Han Yue, the sect master of Tai Qing Sect. Today, I am hosting a banquet at Zui Xian Inn to recruit disciples regardless of their talent, age, or cultivation. Those who are fated to be accepted may enter the inn to attend the banquet!”

Ye Xuan was a little stunned. He didn’t expect the mysterious fairy to be such a peerless figure. No wonder these people were crazy like this. They were probably attracted by her face too.

Even in his previous life, Han Yue’s face was a peerless beauty. No one could compare to her. After all, whether it was her appearance or temperament, she completely surpassed some popular stars. There was no point of comparison at all.

He couldn’t help but sigh, “She’s just like her name. She really looks like Fairy Gushe from the Moon Palace.”

The crowd was in an uproar again. There was actually such a good thing! This was what they were most worried about, but now Han Yue said that she would not consider anything.

This meant that the possibility of them entering Tai Qing Sect was extremely high.

“That’s great. I thought I wouldn’t stand a chance because of my poor aptitude. I didn’t expect that she wouldn’t even consider on this aspect.”

“That’s right. I was already old and had already been rejected by several sects. I thought that I would never have the chance to cultivate in this life. Who would have thought?”

Everyone was overjoyed, and only then did they remember the additional conditions Han Yue had mentioned.

Perhaps it was because of the previous words that gave them confidence, someone in the crowd boldly asked, “May I ask Sect Master Han Yue, what do you mean by fate?”

Han Yue’s lips curved slightly. In an instant, the surrounding was like the spring in March when the ice and snow melted. Her watery eyes were full of light, making one unable to help but be intoxicated.

The power of her smile was so great that many people were stunned. After all, Han Yue was the cold beauty type. One could imagine how much influence she had on the crowd when she suddenly smiled. She opened her red lips and said,

“Donate fifty spirit stones and you may enter the outer sect. Sit at the lower table.”

“Donate five hundred spirit stones and you can enter the inner sect. Sit at the middle table.”

“Donate five thousand spirit stones to become a direct disciple. Sit at the upper table.”

Han Yue looked at the hundreds of men and women in front of her and directly explained what fate was.

???

For a moment, everyone thought that they were hallucinating. The entire place fell silent, and everyone’s expressions became extremely strange.

Ye Xuan almost laughed out loud, “I understand. You and I are not fated. It’s all up to me to spend money.”

He had learned something new today. He didn’t expect to see such a classic trick from his previous life in a fantasy world.

“Sect Master Han Yue, you’re not joking. Are you?” someone stammered.

“Do you think that I’m joking?”

Seeing Han Yue’s serious expression, everyone was speechless.

“Fifty spirit stones isn’t that expensive, but…”

However, fifty spirit stones for an outer sect disciple sounded like a cash cow. After all, everyone knew that outer sect disciples usually didn’t enjoy any benefits from the sect.

However, they were not stupid enough to spend five hundred spiritual stones to enter the inner sect. Who knew if it was true?

Previously, Han Yue had said that she had no requirements, but now she suddenly mentioned spirit stones. No matter how they looked at it, she didn’t seem too reliable.

If it wasn’t for Han Yue’s face and aura, everyone would have thought that she was here to cheat them of their money and run away.

Even Ye Xuan felt that it was too similar. After all, this kind of thing was common in his previous life.

“Is this a lie? How can there be such a good thing? One can enter the sect as long as they have spirit stones, doesn’t matter about one’s aptitude, cultivation level, or age.”

“That’s right. It’s not like other sects haven’t come here to accept disciples before. I heard that they’re all very strict. I’ve never heard of any sect that only needs spirit stones to enter.”

“This fairy looks like a decent human. She can’t be a scammer, right? We’ve to pay before even entering the sect. If we really enter the sect, she’ll definitely squeeze us dry. I’m not that stupid.”

The crowd whispered, and the voices of doubt grew louder and louder. After all, no one wanted to be treated as a fool. Moreover, no one took the lead, so who knew how the situation was there inside?

Han Yue’s expression didn’t change. She noticed everyone’s suspicion.

“Sect master, they won’t believe us if we ask them to hand over the spirit stones without any evidence,” the old man beside her couldn’t help but say.

Han Yue frowned slightly, “This group of stupid and ignorant mortals. It’s already a great honor for them to be able to receive my guidance and become my disciple. How can they be so unsatisfied? They’re not even willing to take out a mere fifty spirit stones.”

Han Yue’s previous price was even higher– five thousand, fifty thousand, five hundred thousand.

If the old man hadn’t stopped her and told her that this was the mortal world, the situation was special and it was not a particularly prosperous place, the crowd would have been scared away when they first heard the price.

“Hmph, they don’t even know how to cherish such a great opportunity in front of them.”

Han Yue’s expression flickered as she clenched her fists, “If it weren’t for that group of people, I wouldn’t have to bow and scrape for fifty spirit stones! I’ll remember this, and I’ll definitely get back at them a hundred times or a thousand times over one day.”
