Sect Recruiting

"The continent is vast, I still haven't travelled most of the parts of this continent. I shall see what is in for me as I travel around!"

Qi was walking blindly as he does not know the roads of some. He encountered a large city.

"Hmmm I should stop and eat in this restaurant"

Qi ordered food for him while listening to the gossips of the people

"Pssst have you heard? There are many sects that are recruiting"

"Yeah me and my sister are thinking of joining the saint sword sect. Many sword cultivators are thinking of joining and both of us are cultivating the sword path"

Many gossips can be heard but only one had struck Qi's ears.

"What about the Desolation Fate Sect?"

"I heard they take it only those who cultivate in the painting path, aren't those rare to find?"

After Qi finishes his meal he quickly went out the restaurant and went to where the sect recruits people

"Hello may I ask a question?"

"What is it?"

"Do you know where is the desolation fate sect is?"

"Ah they only take in those who practice in the painting path but if you still want to know they are in the east of this road"

"Thank you fellow"

Qi Yang went to the east of the road. As he proceeded he heard some people. There were commotions on the place with a sign named "Desolation Fate Sect-Recruiting those who are in pursuit on the path of painting".

Some were declined due to not cultivating on the path. Some were arguing with the recruiters.

"Humph you only accept mere painter's. Even my grandfather's father can paint better even not cultivating your so called paint masters"

Qi was angry as he heard it since his passion was painting when he was a child. Qi came near the man but the man sneered at him.

"Humph so you came here to join these lowly painters? I can see that you are also one of them. Haha"

His mind was angry but he tried to stay calm as he does not want to cause a commotion. He then ignored the man and went to the table and talked to the other person who was recruiting.

"May I join this?"

"Touch this monolith to see if you have the aptitude of a painter"

Qi Yang was nervous since it might be too high and make troubles for him or to low that he will get declined since he had just gotten a new power that he could still not comprehend it.

*Please just be normal* as Qi says in his mind. He had touched it after a second and then the color was yellow.

The man who came first than Qi was jealous since his aptitude was low and cannot be a painter.

"Not bad you have the aptitude of a master painter"

"A master painter?"

"Eh? You do not know those terms? Well there are 8 levels cultivators can reach and the 4th is the master stage. Also this is a special monolith where only those who have both the aptitude for cultivating and painting will shine. If you do not have the aptitude to paint then it shall not glow"

*There are 8 levels? I must head to the nearest library to see what are the levels*

"Heres your token. Don't get it lost as it is a identification and you've been promoted to outer disciple"

Qi cups his fist and thanks the instructor. "I must head to the sects library, I might find some cultivation techniques there"

Qi excitedly ran to the library to get some techniques on how to cultivate.

There was an old man sitting in front. He looked mysterious and profound.

Qi cups his fist and says "Hello senior may I ask if this is the library?

The old man was surprised that a young lad had greeted him as he was used to be ignored.

" Why yes? Why do you ask"

"I am just a newly recruited outer disciple"

"Ah so you just got recruited, the new ones are energetic huh"

"Yes senior"

"Well enter then there are 5 floors, the first 3 floors are consisted of mortal, immortal ranks. The 4th containing the ancient rank. And the last... Eh lets say noone other than the sect leader and ancestor had made it. I don't want to waste your time young lad so you can now enter"

"Thank you senior"

"Ah wait I forgot to tell you, if you wish to move to the upper floors be careful as there is a force that makes the gravity heavier."

"Thank you senior for the advice"

Qi went inside and saw many books.

"Fellow cultivator do you know where the cultivation techniques are?"

"Ah its beside you"

"Thanks"

He then skimmed some books and picked those who are helpful for him

"Alas the upper floors are waiting for me but I do not know if my current prowess is enough. I shall cultivate first"

He then went to his room.

"Although I am just a outer disciple the room is nice"

He then sat down and opened one of the books about cultivating.

"So I have to be in a state of calmness?It says here that I should sit like these and feel the qi in the surroundings"

As he closed his eyes he had felt a weird sensation.

*Although my eyes are closed I can see some colorful aura, is this qi?"

There was a strange white humanoid aura that he had sensed.

"? #(£&#&##-&#-#_#£"

Qi coughed blood and his meditation was interrupted by the words the humanoid aura said.

"Ugh Im feeling weak but I need to hurry to the healing chambers to hea-"

His eyes had closed and he had fallen to sleep as it takes concentration to meditate"
