1300 Partaking in the Exile Recruitment

"You don't know his name?! I can't believe you'd make such an embarrassing mistake, Grandpa!" Liang Qinru was livid after learning of this information.

"What—! Is there really a need to know his name?! We know he's a Dragon Emperor from the Xi Family, isn't that good enough? How many Dragon Emperors do you think exist in the Nine Heavens, much less from the Xi Family?" Liang Xiaosheng defended himself.

"That's…" Liang Qinru couldn't argue with his logic.

"Anyways, let's get your bloodline tested. If it's good enough, I'll immediately contact the main branch and see if they will be willing to accept your transfer."

"Okay…" Liang Qinru hoped that her bloodline had reached the main branch's standards, as that would allow her to move to the upper heavens, where she could meet the Dragon Emperor again.

Meanwhile, after leaving the Azure Dragon Family's territory, Yuan flew straight toward the nearest city, where he logged off upon arrival.

After logging off, Yuan went to find Meifeng, who was just finishing up her daily cleaning.

"I need some help regarding the Ten Great Families. Do you know where their recruitment is being held?" Yuan asked, as he decided to deal with them before ascending to the Fourth Heaven.

"As far as I am aware, one needs to contact them by phone and answer some questions before they are given the location," Meifeng said.

"To root out those without an Exile, huh," Yuan mumbled to himself.

"Would you like to me give them a call?" Meifeng then asked.

"I will call them myself since they'll most likely be asking questions only those with an Exile could answer."

"I understand. Give me a minute."

After receiving the recruitment's phone number, Yuan immediately gave them a call.

"Hello, thank you for contacting us. Before we begin the recruitment, please answer this question: What is an Exile?" The person on the other side of the phone asked Yuan.

To filter out Players who might attempt to contact them without possessing an Exile, the recruitment process incorporated a straightforward question, serving as a method to identify and discern such individuals.

Certainly, the answer could be obtained by individuals without an Exile, but the effectiveness was enough for the recruitment.

"Exiles are criminals that had been banished to the Primordial Realm."

"Thank you. My name is David, and I will be your recruiter for today. We will now begin the recruitment process. To start things off, where are you currently located in Cultivation Online? Just the realm is enough."

"I'm currently in the Third Heaven."

"Perfect. Then what is your cultivation?"

Yuan had to ponder for a few seconds before responding, "Ninth-level Spirit Grandmaster."

"My! So you're a top player?" David uttered in surprise.

'The top players are only Spirit Grandmasters?' Yuan sighed inwardly as the realization dawned upon him that the top players were merely Spirit Grandmasters.

Being a player with minimal interaction with the broader player base, Yuan's understanding of their world was essentially zero.

"I-It's all thanks to my Exile," Yuan said a moment later.

"Of course! The difference between Players with an Exile and those without is akin to heaven and earth!" David was fully convinced that Yuan had an Exile by his side now.

"Let's move on to the next question, and please be as detailed as possible when answering the next few questions. Where and when did you meet your Exile? "

In addition to recruitment, the Ten Great Families also took this opportunity to learn more about Exiles in hopes of finding more of them.

After pondering for a moment, Yuan calmly answered, "I met my Exile about half a year ago near South Wing City in Second Heaven."

"How did you meet?"

"She found me when I was lost."

"What condition did you have to meet before being accepted by the Exile?"

'Condition?' Yuan raised an eyebrow at this question, as he doesn't recall fulfilling any condition.

Eventually, he made a guess and said, "I had to entertain her."

"Can you be a little more specific? What kind of entertainment?"

"She was bored, so I hunted some magical beasts for her."

Contemplating these questions, Yuan found himself pondering how other Players encountered their Exiles and whether they had undergone specific quests to secure approval. After all, it seemed inconceivable that any Exile would willingly accept a weak Player as their Master, considering the potential impact on the fulfillment of their legacy.

"What grade is your Exile?" David then asked.

Yuan contemplated for a moment whether he should answer properly, but considering how much he'd overestimated the Players before, he eventually decided to give a fake answer.

'What was before Divine-grade, again?'

"She's a Lord-grade servant," Yuan answered.

"Wow! Lord-grade! Your Exile must be exceptionally powerful!" David expressed his awe so clearly it could be visualized through the phone.

"Umm… Out of curiosity, what grades are the other Exiles?" Yuan asked.

"They are mostly Elite-grade. Out of the dozens of Players we have recruited, you're the third one to have a Lord-grade Exile."

Such sensitive information is typically kept a secret, but David wanted to recruit Yuan no matter what after learning that his Exile was Lord-grade.

"I-I see…"

Yuan expected most Exiles to be Lord-grade if not Divine-

grade like Xiao Hua, so he was greatly surprised to hear that most of them were only Elite-grade.

'How could there be such a huge difference? What determines their grades? Their strength, or their potential?'

David continued asking questions shortly after.

"What is your Player ID?"

"Xiao Yang."

"Is that your real name as well?"

"Yes."

Eventually.

"Thank you for taking the time to answer our questions. This marks the end of the first part of the recruitment. For the next part of the recruitment, you will need to show up at a specific location in Cultivation Online with your Exile, where another Player with an Exile will confirm the identity of your Exile. Will you be able to make it there right now? It's located at Enchanted Bamboo Forest near Yolk City."

"I can make my way there now."

"Great! Please call this number when you've arrived." David said before giving him another phone number.
