Chapter 869 - Preparations

The reason why Malo and the others came up with a recruitment method for the sect was because Freedom Island had also received quite a few airships with ex-human slaves in it. With the sect's help, everyone there was given some land where they could build their own houses. Obviously, it was also located in the south of the island. 

Another good thing was that Freedom Sect was already used to farming. One must not forget that its carrots had a great use during the time when the Underwater Palace was attacked. In fact, Red had been mostly taking care of the farm until now. He wanted to grow the best carrots ever...or so he said. Rean then told him to help with the other farms.

With that, it wasn't hard to take the necessary land for farming to grow food for the people that arrived. At the very least, the humans dropped in Freedom Island were in a better condition than most humans in the Wringan Mainland. After all, they received the help of the cultivators around.

Thanks to that, Freedom City gradually became more and more like a real city. The spaces that the sect disciples left for the roads were all paved according to Rean's instructions as well. The good thing was that this world had cultivators. They could simply use Earth, Fire, and Water Element cultivators to make the work countless times faster than it would take back on Earth to pave the same amount of space.

Juo, Govin, Dian, and the others that Rean took into the sect in the past were the first ones. However, as time passed, Malo and the others found more useful cultivators that were recruited into the sect to use their skills. 

Eventually, after everything was accounted for, the Freedom Sect released the first recruitment notice to the people on the island. The sect still had a lot to build and do. But that didn't mean it had to completely close its doors for new members. It's just that the recruitment would only be available for those at the age of 10 years old or below.

As the people passed through the center of the city, they looked at the posters on the walls.

-Freedom Sect is opening its door for new disciples at age 10 or below. For those who are interested in participate, please come to Freedom City's north gate for the test. As for the test itself, it will be held seven days after the announcement has been made. Parents and other cultivators who want to watch the test can also apply at the north gate. However, only kids with Yellow Color Talent and above are allowed to participate in the recruitment. If you don't know which talent color you are, you can check it at the north gate as well.-

The announcement was brief but extremely effective. With the ex-slave families that arrived in Freedom Island, there was no lack of kids participating in the tests. Of course, this was just the first day of the announcement, so the Freedom Sect was expecting a lot more to come in the following days.

Back at Rean's side, he suddenly received a message in his bric- Spiritual Smartphone. "Hmm? Are they already starting to recruit new members? Roan and Malo are faster than I thought."

Qia also saw the message. "In that case, why don't we spread the news around Fausec Country? The idea is for the people of Freedom Island to learn more about the Freedom Sect as well, right? I think it's a good opportunity to let people know about our existence."

Govin and the others agreed with Qia. 

Rean pondered over it for a bit and couldn't help but mention, "If we do that, we might receive way more disciples than we can handle. Freedom Sect has been keeping a stable number of disciples since it has never recruited before. If we do that, the situation might get out of hand. In the end, the sect doesn't have many adults to take care of things."

Dian shook his head in response. "I don't think there's a need to worry. If Roan allowed Malo to send the message, that means he's already considering this possibility. I'm quite new at the sect. Still, I can tell that all its young people are a lot more responsible than you would expect from their age. They should be able to deal with it."

Qia and Rean couldn't help but bitterly smile. Why are the young people of Freedom Sect a lot more responsible? Because Roan trained them! If they went out of line, only hellish punishment awaited. It's comprehensible that they grew up to be like that.

"Well... I guess you're right about that," Rean said without being able to find another good reason to not spread the news. "Well, let me call Mitamo, Kimi, Tuti, and the other lords of Fausec Country."

Sure enough, Rean gave one Spiritual Smartphone to every lord of a city they installed an antenna in. By now, seven of the twenty planned communication devices were in position. Since there was no overload of messages, it still worked with the defects found so far.

Rean then called them one by one and asked Mitamo to let the rest of the cities in the country know about it. One day before the test started, the Freedom Sect would pass by the towns to take the kids and their parents with its airship. 

Mitamo was the leader of the old Fausec Tribe. Naturally, he had many descendants who came with him. The same could be said for the lords and elders of other powers in the country. With that being said, all of them decided to have some of their not-so-important descendants participate. At the same time, they could go to the Freedom Sect to take a look at it. One must remember that they just found about Rean's group. There was no lack of cultivators wanting to know more about the power behind them.
