Finally, after a minute of explanation, they all started to frantically climb up the mountain, although they do not know how tall the mountain is, this did not break their thoughts of dropping out of this recruitment. After all, this is a good chance to change their lives. Especially those low-classed individuals whose life direction was only to wait for their death of old age without being able to prove themselves out.
Some jumped from rock to rock on the mountain, on the other hand, less then a dozen individual were able to find the stairs where Lin Shu first climbed the mountain.
Take Wang Ye and their group for example, they are all the children of High-Class families of different cities.
30 Minutes later, someone was able to finally climb up the mountain. She has the cultivation of Peak Level Earth Core realm. But due to the lack of resources for a breakthrough, she was not able to do so. She's the Jewel, and the princess of the Twilight Kingdom, Song Wen!
Lin Shu was surprised to see a young, beautiful fellow that already reached the top of the mountain.
Do note that Lin Shu spent the 2x Hidden World Upgrade Module, which not only increased the multiplier, but also the size. In which this mountain is also included. The size directly increased tenfold. Plus the buildings liked the alchemy hall, and the floating island.
Song Wen, with her beautiful blue eyes looked at the Young person sitting cross legged drinking tea in front of him. At first thought, he might be also one of them, who's joining the Linshu Sect.
Looking around, she first saw that majestic, large floating island. Her eyes widened. It was the first time she saw such a magical thing.
The huge rotating array on top of that temple,
Then she looked at the vastness of this Hidden World.
Next, he looked at that large tree which stands for hundreds of meters tall, with it's green leaves are glowing.
"Congratulations on joining my Sect." Hearing this, her face showed ecstasy, she looked at where the voice came from. Which, unexpectedly came from the mouth of the young guy she ignored.
Recalling the way she ignored the opposite sex in front of him.
She panicked and stuttered: "S-s-sect Master?"
Seeing the panic in her face, he chuckled lightly and did not answered her question and he continued drinking his tea.
She thought he was unhappy,
So, she directly ran up bowing her head 90 degrees, she said: "Meet the Suzerain!"
Seeing her face up close when she ran towards him, he was surprised, of course she appreciates beauty very much. But since he is now a sect master, he must show the majesty of one right?
"Good." He replied perfunctorily.
Breathing a sigh of relief. She stood up with her straight body.
With a flick of a finger, an exquisite looking ring inlaid with a gem appeared in his hand.
Then slowly flew it's way into her's.
...
What confused him was her delicate blushing face.
'It's only our first meeting and the Sect Master already wants to propose to me?'
'What to do'
'What to do'
'Do I accept it? If I did, I would become the hostess of this vast world. But if I declined, wouldn't the Sect Master be unhappy?'
Taking a deep breath she said: "I-I-I'm not ready yet." She bowed her head. Which were then covered by her hair.
"That's your prize for getting 1st place silly." Then he laughed out loud not even showing the majesty of what a Sect Master should have. He finally understood her misunderstandings.
"WHAT!?" When she heard this, her face blushed even more to the point where it is almost as red as an apple.
Hearing the footstep behind them, she hurriedly faced her back in front of Lin Shu then walked away.
Just this misunderstanding, made the relationship distance between Sect master and an apprentice decrease substantially.
Dispelling the thoughts about her he looked at the group of people who climbed up at the same time.
It was Wang Ye and his friends.
He gave them all the space ring with 500 Low-Tiered Magic stones plus a few mid-tier magic stones. Of course, the mid-tier magic stones inside is far less compared to how much Song Wen received for the first place.
Its not that he's stingy on the Magic Stones, but it's just that, they must prove themselves first, then he'll eventually give them a bunch of it.
He does not wanna get treated as a 'cash cow' or like get treated as a stepping stone for their rise.
Before sunset, 3,573 disciples were accepted. But so far, only 1 were able to get to the island.
It is the one and only Song Wen, who used Magic Stones to replenish her soon to deplete Aura when she flew towards the island. Although it was costly, since she cannot absorb the aura of the Magic Stone. But with the risk she took, she spent almost a hundred magic stones which made her heart bled greatly. Do note that their Royal Family's monthly income is just a hundred thousand Magic Stones, and her pocket money is just 500 Magic stones. For the first time in her life, she spent magic stones like a prodigal daughter.
But the moment she got the artifact card of the courtyard. She felt that it was worth it. Especially when she saw the majestic golden array glowing in her backyard with almost a hundred mid-tier magic stones laid down in a stack right next to it.
...
The good thing is that, 8 Core Disciples were chosen.
One of them had a high fire affinity. Two of them has the bloodline that is greatly compatible Swordsmanship. Three of them had high Spirit Cultivation, while the two, which are twins, each had specialties.
Seeing them, standing in the square. Lin Shu floated in the air.
Using his Aura, he said: "Each of you will then receive a hundred Low-Tier Magic stones, and 10 Mid-Tier Magic Stones for when a bottleneck appears when you cultivate."
"The first 250 persons who arrived will then receive a Space Ring. Which has prizes inside."
When he ended his sentence, a tsunami like wave made out of Low-Tier Magic Stone started to float in the air which came from the temple.
Even Song Wen, who was a princess of the Empire had her mouth open wide. At the same time, she clutched her fist tightly and praised her choice despite their parents persuading her not to join this so called Linshu Sect since they felt that there's something sketchy about this sect or they are just scared of it, since this sect had the power to completely dominate the Twilight Kingdom.
