Chapter 232: The Legend of the White Snake, the Search for the Gods Palace, and the magical experien
A piece of news is spreading like wildfire in the martial arts world.
Li Ping, the number one martial arts master in the world, is about to establish a sect and recruit disciples and followers. Countless people are tempted by this and flock to join him.
Upon hearing this news, a middle-aged scholar with graying temples revealed an enigmatic smile: "To 'return the Holy Gate to its true nature'—with just one sentence, you've cast aside the efforts of our Holy Gate's ancestors over hundreds of years."
"How arrogant, how domineering, how presumptuous!"
"The fastest speed in the world, an immortal divine power, capable of reflecting any attack from the Void Transformation..."
"Isn't this just a coincidence?"
"Perfect timing, let's go and meet this number one person in the world."
"Let's see what kind of charm he possesses that makes Yu Yan so persistent in pursuing him, and makes Doctor Su so devoted to him?"
"Look at his light-footed skill that soars straight to the heavens, look at his divine sword that commands thunder, look at..."
"Who is more deserving of the name of immortality?!"
……
Upon hearing the same news, Kou Zhong said to Xu Ziling, "Ziling, why don't we establish a sect too?"
Xu Ziling watched the clouds gather and disperse in the sky: "Of course you can, but before you wanted to dominate the world, now you want to establish a sect, what for?"
Hearing this, Kou Zhong felt a headache coming on, because at least he had a goal before, but after coming to the new world, he lost his goal!
Because it is obvious that this era is no longer suitable for vying for supremacy.
He really didn't know what he should do or what he should pursue.
In the past, when he was vying for supremacy, he was initially just to show Li Xiuning that he, a commoner, could also stand in this position and stir up the world!
Later on, he really didn't know why.
Power? Wealth?
He was never interested in these things...
Otherwise, why would he be willing to give up everything just because Xu Ziling said one thing?
Seeing Kou Zhong's somewhat dejected expression, Xu Ziling smiled. He knew his brother well; although he often felt down, he would quickly cheer up.
Sure enough, Kou Zhong quickly laughed and said, "Never mind that, let's go take a look and join in the fun..."
They then headed to Qingcheng Mountain.
Yes, the sect that Li Ping openly established was located in Qingcheng Mountain.
The main reason is that his original home was nearby, and he is somewhat nostalgic. Most importantly, since he has taken over the Qingcheng Sect, the Songfeng Temple can be used directly without having to be repaired again.
Otherwise, just building the sect would take a lot of time and money. This way, we can just make some changes, which is much more convenient.
Soon Kou Zhong and his companion arrived at Qingcheng Mountain.
Kou Zhong's eyes widened: "Good heavens, it's absolutely packed with people! But why did Li Ping choose this place to establish his sect?"
Just then, he heard someone say, "Don't you know? Master Li wrote a story called 'The Legend of the White Snake' based on the 'Tales of the White Snake' from the previous dynasty. It tells the story of a snake demon who transforms into human form to repay a debt of gratitude."
"That thousand-year-old snake demon, Bai Suzhen, cultivates Taoism on Mount Qingcheng. Master Li says he likes it here!"
Kou Zhong clicked his tongue and exclaimed, "Good heavens, Li Ping wants to live in the same place as a monster?!"
One person angrily retorted, "What do you know? Lady White Snake is completely different from ordinary harmful demons. She is gentle, virtuous, a good homemaker, and a lucky wife. It's all because Xu Xian was ungrateful and Fahai was meddling!"
Someone else said, "Humans and demons are different, what did Fahai do wrong?!"
"What did Lady White Snake do wrong...?"
Seeing the group of people arguing, and listening to them, Kou Zhong and his companion gained some understanding of "The Legend of the White Snake." They found the story very fresh, because in previous stories, monsters were always meant to harm people!
The two walked and listened until they arrived at an open-air square.
There were many tables set up there, with pens and paper on them.
A man said, "Those who want to join the sect must first take the exam here."
Kou Zhong and his companion were stunned for a moment, then Kou Zhong called out loudly, "Second Brother Song!"
Upon seeing the two, Song Shidao was overjoyed: "Xiao Zhong, Xiao Ling, you've come to this era too? Do you also want to join Master Li's sect?"
Kou Zhong said, "We just came to watch the fun! What are you doing here?"
Upon hearing this, Song Shidao's face fell: "I found my father. He has a good relationship with Master Li. Master Li said that there was a shortage of manpower, so my father assigned me a task. There were too few people, and I was so busy that I was dizzy."
Xu Ziling looked at the desk in front of him, extremely surprised: "You have to take an exam to get started? A written exam?"
Such a thing doesn't exist in the martial arts world.
Song Shidao said, "It's Li Daxia's rule, there's nothing we can do about it. However, people like you can go straight to the interview!"
Kou Zhong was stunned: "An interview?"
Song Shidao said, "This is just the preliminary test. Then there will be an interview... People like you who are already famous in the martial arts world can go directly to the interview!"
Kou Zhong muttered, "I'm not here to join a sect. By the way, what's the name of all these sects?"
"Master Li said we'd talk about it on the day the mountain gate opens." Then, Song Shidao whispered, "I suspect the gate plaques haven't been made yet..."
Kou Zhong and his companion were taken aback. Was it really that hasty?
Song Shidao said, "I'm still busy here. You can start the interviews directly from this side!"
The two of them inexplicably found themselves in front of the small house where they were interviewing, and then looked at each other in bewilderment.
"We didn't come here to join!"
"Why don't we take a look at other people's processes? That way we can learn from them when we start our own school of thought!"
"We didn't come here to join!"
"Why don't we take a look at other people's processes? That way we can learn from them when we start our own school of thought!"
……
At that moment, Li Ping was conducting an interview.
He personally interviews candidates for important positions.
He doesn't actually do interviews, but he knows other famous figures in the underworld and knows their character and abilities, and that's enough for him.
Sitting across from him was Lei Chun. Li Ping asked, "What brings you here?"
Lei Chun smiled and said, "I came with the nuns from the Hengshan Sect."
Li Ping asked curiously, "Has no one contacted you recently?"
No way?
Guan Qi has recovered from his illness, so why isn't he coming to see you?
Lei Chun sighed, "In this vast sea of people, I have neither wealth nor power now, so it's really hard to find acquaintances."
"I am currently living entirely on the support of Master Hengshan, which is not a good thing. I need to find a job. I saw that you are recruiting disciples, so I thought I would give it a try, at least to support myself first."
"Although I don't know martial arts, but..."
Li Ping smiled and said, "You've been accepted!"
Lei Chun's organizational skills, strategies, and methods are all excellent; he can be called a formidable figure. Taking him in as a management talent would be more than enough.
Lei Chun was taken aback: "Accepted?"
"That means from now on, you're a member of our sect!"
"What's our sect called?"
"The Palace of Searching for Gods! We offer very good benefits. For example, if you want to find someone, the palace can help you find them..."
This is the sect that openly collects Time Crystal Sand.
Calling it Shou Shi (收时), Shou Guang (收光), Shou Jing (收晶), Shou Sha (收沙) all sounded unpleasant. Li Ping then remembered that he seemed to have heard the name Sou Shen Gong (搜神宫) before, so he used it directly.
Just then, Li Ping suddenly heard a rumbling thunder. Overjoyed, he opened the window and saw Chu Liuxiang.
He established his sect so hastily that he pulled in all his friends to help him.
He immediately said to Chu Liuxiang, "Brother Chu, could you interview the other candidates for me?"
Chu Liuxiang: "..."
Li Ping is going to be struck by lightning.
After being struck by lightning last time, he gained some insight into the technique. Since coming to Qingcheng Mountain, he has tried several times, but has not been able to attract lightning.
There was thunder today, so let's try again.
He had just stepped out of the house when he saw Kou Zhong and his companion, and exclaimed with delight, "Young Master Zhong, you've actually come for an interview too?"
"No need to test. From today onwards, you are all members of my Search God Palace!"
Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling, you could say they're all great, but being their brother is truly a worthwhile experience.
The two stood there dumbfounded, and before they could say a word, Li Ping disappeared.
At this moment, Chu Liuxiang saw Li Ping's evaluation of Lei Chun in the character section: "Superior, exceptionally courageous, skilled in personnel matters, adept at organization, and adept at devising ingenious strategies..."
So he said to Lei Chun, "Next, you'll be in charge of interviewing the others..."
If you ask Xiang Shuai to do something like that, he'll go crazy.
Run away!
I'd love to see Li Ping get struck by lightning. He can even learn kung fu after being struck by lightning. I really want to see it for myself.
Lei Chun: "..."
No, are you guys being this hasty?
Did I join a makeshift operation...?
