Just like before, the names of the top 20 on the overall ranking were all covered up by red paper. No one knew who they were, making them seem extremely mysterious.
This was the way the Sword Whisper Sect protected their talented disciples.
There was no doubt that the top twenty would be the true peerless geniuses of this disciple recruitment competition. Many of them should be bloodline martial artists with divine bloodlines remaining in their bodies. In order to prevent these twenty geniuses from being poached or targeted by enemy sects, they had adopted a secret method.
To choose 10,000 out of hundreds of thousands of people was a harsh and cruel choice.
Thinking about it, it was already very outstanding for Lin Xuan to be able to rank in the 100th place with a second-grade meridian.
Lin Xuan was very satisfied with this result.
However, he had a feeling that the Sword Whisper Sect had overlooked something.
After experiencing the fortuitous encounter in the cave and the changes in his body, Lin Xuan had a confidence that even he was surprised. Once the potential in his body erupted, he would definitely not be inferior to those peerless geniuses ranked in the top 20.
After the final results were announced, the noisy Sword Whisper Sect finally returned to peace.
Other than the top twenty geniuses who received special treatment, the remaining ten thousand youths were temporarily placed in the guest house for the night after receiving their clothes, waist tags, and swords from the Sword Whisper Sect's logistics department.
Each youth received a booklet that was similar to a life guide. It described in detail what the youth needed to experience in the next few days.
Lin Xuan returned to the slums at the back of the mountain. After packing his luggage, he returned to his guest room.
For the time being, he didn't need to return to that courtyard.
……
On the seventh day.
The Sword Whisper Sect was very efficient.
The specific arrangement and distribution of the 10,000 disciples were notified early in the morning.
The youths formed a team of 2,000 people and were divided into five courtyards, East, West, South, North, and Five. They were arranged to stay in different areas of the mountain gate and were led by different instructors, masters, and senior brothers to teach martial arts and various basic knowledge. As for what kind of standards were used to sort out the youths, it was unknown.
This distribution was also to stimulate the competitive spirit of the youths.
The rules were clearly stated in the booklet. Every half a month, the East, West, South, North, and Five Houses would hold a martial arts competition to determine the amount of spiritual herbs, medicines, and various resources each house would get in the next month.
Lin Xuan was assigned to the east courtyard.
That night, he got his first dormitory in the beautiful fairyland of the front mountain----Green Robe East Courtyard No. 9.
"Eh, courtyard number 9, what an auspicious number. Haha, not bad!”
Lin Xuan carried his luggage and held the key. He came to a green stone courtyard and looked at the courtyard the size of a football field and the tall and spacious stone room that was like a palace. He could not help but feel excited.
Compared to the courtyard at the back of the mountain, this place was like heaven.
The Sword Whisper Sect was indeed one of the transcendent sects of the Xue State. They were wealthy and didn't treat their disciples harshly.
From now on, he finally had a house of his own in this fairy-like front mountain.
Pushing open the thick stone door, he entered the courtyard. There were three stone rooms on the left, right, and left. The stone room faced the sun and was the most spacious. In front of each stone room, there was a tall and verdant ancient pine tree. The courtyard was very spacious, and in the middle was an ancient well. The mottled edge of the well was covered with rope marks. Beside the well, there was a black iron bucket and a rope as thick as a child's arm.
Lin Xuan quickly walked to the stone room and inserted the key into the keyhole. He opened the giant bronze lock and pushed the stone door. Who knew that the stone door would not move at all.
"Hmm? Could it be that this stone door also had a secret?”
After careful observation, Lin Xuan discovered that there were patterns as thin as hair carved on the green stone door. These patterns spread out and covered the entire stone house wall. They were like natural patterns, but also like they were carved artificially. Because the patterns were too thin, if one did not observe carefully, they would not be discovered at all.
Lin Xuan's palm gently touched the patterns. Suddenly, he exerted strength in his palm and pressed it against the wall.
The stone room remained unmoved.
Lin Xuan's palm had a strength of about 2,000 pounds. Ordinary rocks would definitely have marks, but there was actually no mark on the wall of this stone room.
"These lines were indeed carved on the stone room. I'm afraid it's the same as the sword formation diagram. It's used to strengthen and protect the stone room.”
In the first three days of entering the Swordquest Sect, the in-name disciples had the most relaxed days.
The 10,000 in-name disciples were allowed to move around freely. They had enough time to say goodbye to their relatives and friends and guards who accompanied them while adapting and familiarizing themselves with everything on the sect's mountain. There was no training arranged.
Three days later, when the stipulated time was up, all the irrelevant people had to leave the Sword Whisper Mountain immediately.
Thus, the high-spirited youths reluctantly bid farewell to their loved ones and stayed in the Sword Whisper Sect alone, beginning their arduous path of cultivation.
