The waiter's work efficiency was very fast, and it didn't take long for him to clean up the tavern.
However, due to the matter with the Liu family young master, most of the customers had already paid their bills and left. Only a few bold ones were still eating and drinking.
Chen Feng was still sitting where he was, drinking by himself. He had a calm expression on his face, without even the slightest bit of panic.
"Thank you, esteemed guest!" At this moment, the waiter personally carried a jug of wine and a few spirit fruits and placed them on Chen Feng's table. "This wine is the Hundred Fruit Wine personally brewed by the shopkeeper. Try it."
Chen Feng looked at the waiter and could not help but laugh. "Why not sit down and drink?"
The waiter calmly smiled and did not put on airs. He immediately sat opposite Chen Feng and personally poured a cup of wine for him.
The moment the wine left the pot, it was filled with a delicate fragrance.
"You don't need to drink good wine. Just by smelling it, you can tell that this wine is extremely precious. "I guess the identity of the waiter isn't just limited to this hotel's waiter." Chen Feng squinted his eyes and said with a smile, "If it was just the waiter, how would he dare to offer me such wine?"
"This big brother has good eyesight." The waiter showed a surprised expression, but then he calmly smiled and said, "The owner of this tavern is my foster father."
"So that's how it is." When Chen Feng heard this, a touch of gentleness appeared on his face. He cupped his hands and said with a serious expression, "I am truly lacking in respect."
The reason why Chen Feng had stepped out on behalf of the waiter just now was simply because he felt that the waiter was not simple. Normally, whenever the shopkeeper saw a customer and a waiter clashing, he would think of ways to appease the customer. At this time, reprimanding the waiter was the best way to vent the anger of the customer. And after the tavern's owner came out, not only did he not do so, he even blamed the waiter for being bullied. How could Chen Feng not see through such obvious favoritism?
But from the looks of it, it was indeed like that.
"Hai, don't be so distant from me. My foster father is an old relic. All these years, I've been taking care of him, and now he wants me to be a second brother. I'm so wronged." The waiter grumbled softly. Chen Feng could see a hint of loneliness on the waiter's face.
It seemed that he was a man of great ambition.
Even though he was thinking this in his heart, Chen Feng had a smile on his face. "Maybe, Senior has his own plans."
"Maybe." The waiter had a strange expression on his face as he changed the topic of the conversation, "Big brother, are you here to attend the disciple recruitment ceremony of the Chao Tian Sect?"
"Yeah." Chen Feng did not deny it.
"Then you better prepare well. I heard from my old man that this disciple recruitment ceremony is different from the previous years. At any time, there will be danger to your life." The waiter said with a serious expression.
"Oh?" Chen Feng raised his eyebrows. "I'm willing to listen to the details."
"Sigh, I'm not too sure either." The waiter gloomily said, "That old man of mine never told me these things. I even overheard this bit of news during his meeting."
Chen Feng felt slightly regretful, but he did not cower. "Things are artificial. If one avoids it because of danger, how would one climb to the peak?"
"Big brother, you have a good heart and soul." The waiter praised, "My old man also said that. Big Brother, how should I address you? "
"Chen Feng." "What about you?"
"Wang Xiaosi!" The waiter straightened his chest and said seriously.
… ….
After chatting with Wang Xiaosi for a long time, Chen Feng had a rough understanding of the structure of this area.
The three sects, namely the Heaven Sect, the Heaven Flying Immortal Sect, and the Ice River Sect, formed the top power of the entire Rushu continent. Moreover, for a long time now, these three sects have always been the top three sects in the cultivation world, and no one can compare to them. Of course, those hidden sects were not one of them.
If one were to include these hidden sects, it was likely that only those powerful Rogue Immortals would know the position of the three sects. However, Chen Feng still believed that the Chao Tian Sect was not simple. The elixir pills had determined his strength by the standards of his disciple.
There were two ways to recruit disciples from the Sky Sect.
The first was this disciple recruitment ceremony. The disciple recruitment ceremony was held once every ten years, and each time, countless cultivators with great aptitudes would be recruited. The Rising Sky Sect's standards for accepting disciples were extremely harsh. The older disciples were not accepted, the weaker disciples were not accepted, and the weaker disciples were not accepted. This standard of "Three Purities" was like a great wave that went against the sand, blocking countless cultivators from entering.
The lowest strength required to enter the Heaven Sect was the Spirit Severing Stage. The age and potential required to be examined was extremely strict.
The second way to recruit disciples to the Heaven Sect was to take the initiative to find good seedlings. This method was even stricter. If it wasn't for their heaven-defying talents, the Heaven Sect wouldn't have even bothered to look at them. It was just like how the Qing-Yun Sect had only sought after Ling Kong's sword body back then. Afterwards, Ling Kong was crippled by Chen Feng, so the Heaven Sect immediately ignored him. This was because Ling Kong no longer had the talent to move the heart of the Heaven Sect.
After bidding farewell to Wang Xiaosi, Chen Feng followed the crowd and arrived outside of the gates of the Heaven Sect.
The disciple recruitment ceremony started three days later, but the selection for the early stages had already begun.
Outside the gates of the Heaven Sect, there were already disciples of the Heaven Sect who were taking a preliminary examination of the cultivators they wanted to sign up for. This kind of test was simply recording one's cultivation level and age, and then handing out their examination token. Only the person who had obtained the token could participate in the acceptance ceremony.
The disciples who were taking the examination all had the strength of a tribulation. They were all dressed in the attire of the disciples of the Heaven Sect, and were taking the examination of the cultivators in line in an orderly manner.
"You can't. Although your cultivation has reached the Divine Soul Division, you're a bit old. Eliminate." A disciple said to a cultivator without raising his head, causing that cultivator's face to turn pale before dejectedly leaving.
The assessment was merciless. While Chen Feng was waiting, dozens of people were eliminated. Only about a quarter of those who were able to pass the initial assessment were eliminated.
Soon, Chen Feng understood. Most of the people who were able to participate in the examination were rogue cultivators. They didn't have good resources or cultivation techniques, and their cultivation speed was slow. They weren't as likely to be eliminated as those disciples with backgrounds.
Watching the lonely figures around him leave, Chen Feng gradually arrived at the front of the group.
However, Chen Feng did not notice that in the distance, there was a young man staring at Chen Feng with a cold gaze.
If Chen Feng saw this, he would have definitely recognized this person. This person was the cultivator that followed the Liu family's young master in the hotel earlier.
Seeing that Chen Feng was about to participate in the preliminary examination, that cultivator's eyes revealed a vicious light. Then, he unfurled his body and disappeared into the sea of people after a short while.
