Chapter 217: Chapter 217 – New System

Chen Heng and Liu Wen headed onwards according to this body’s memories.

There, some people were lined up waiting.

“Outer Court Disciple Zhang Hao is here to receive instructions,” Chen Heng took out a medallion and said softly.

The person ahead checked the medallion and did not say much else before nodding and allowing the two of them through.

By now, the sect had finished taking in disciples, but making arrangements for these new disciples was still a big matter.

That was why Chen Heng and Liu Wen had come here.

There were many new Flowing Cloud Sect disciples standing in the public square.

Compared to Chen Heng and the others, they were quite young and were all around 14 or 15 years old.

This was the most suitable age for starting to cultivate; after this age, it would be a bit late if they wanted to start cultivating.

Chen Heng had joined the Flowing Cloud Sect since he was young, and he had started refining qi since he was ten years old. By now, he had Spirit Refining Level 3 cultivation.

Given that they only entered the sect at such an age, their futures would be somewhat uncertain.

Soon, they reached a middle-aged disciple who handed them a medallion.

“According to the rules, the Outer Court can take ten people back,” the middle-aged disciple ahead said to Chen Heng, looking somewhat annoyed.

Chen Heng nodded to show that he understood.

The remaining disciples here were all around 14 or 15 years old, and their talent would not be that great.

That was natural.

The younger disciples with better talent had already been chosen, and they naturally would not be left to the Outer Court.

However, Chen Heng did not mind.

Chen Heng looked around and began to think to himself.

Many of them met Chen Heng’s gaze, looking quite nervous.

According to the Flowing Cloud Sect’s rules, after joining the sect, new disciples would first be Odd Job Disciples.

However, the treatment of Odd Job Disciples at different places was different.

Some positions were easier and had various benefits, while others had disgusting or tiring jobs.

For people like Chen Heng who could come over and choose people, they were usually decent. Even though the jobs weren’t the easiest, they weren’t too bad.

If these new disciples weren’t chosen by anyone, then they would have problems.

If that happened, they would most likely be sent to the spirit mines to do mining.

No one wanted to do dirty and tiring jobs, so these new disciples naturally wanted to grasp every opportunity.

Looking at Chen Heng, many people’s eyes lit up.

A young woman slowly came up and stood before Chen Heng and said loudly, “Senior Apprentice Brother Zhang! Don’t you recognize me anymore?”

Chen Heng paused and looked at this young woman in confusion, asking, “You are..?”

“I’m Ya’Er,” the young woman smiled as she said, “We met when we were young. Mother told me to come and find you after entering the sect.”

The young woman spoke softly as she looked at Chen Heng seriously.

The young woman was somewhat good-looking, and this was especially so when she smiled.

Looking at this young woman, Chen Heng soon remembered who she was.

If he remembered correctly, this young woman was from his family, and her parents and his body’s parents were friends.

As such, she was someone who he needed to look after.

Chen Heng nodded and said, “Alright, come behind me.”

As a manager in the Outer Court, and being responsible for choosing people, he had this much authority.

Since he would have been randomly choosing anyways, what difference did it make?

Hearing Chen Heng’s words, Zhang Ya smiled and purposefully looked back at the others before standing behind Chen Heng.

After picking the first person, Chen Heng continued on and prepared to pick more people.

At that moment, Zhang Ya’s voice sounded out.

“Clan brother…” Zhang Ya spoke gently, “I have some good friends, so is clan brother able to…

“Don’t worry, if clan brother can take care of them, they will definitely repay you in the future, at least with a spirit stone…”

Zhang Ya’s voice was very soft, and barely anyone could hear her but Chen Heng could understand.

He could not help but turn and look at her, feeling quite speechless.

She was so young, and yet she did not learn good things and instead manipulated people like this.

Chen Heng could not help but wonder what her parents had taught her.

After thinking this, he shook his head and asked softly, “How many of them are there?”

“Five in total.”

Zhang Ya felt delighted and hurriedly asked, “So clan brother has agreed?”

Chen Heng calmly nodded, “Have them come over.”

Hearing this, Zhang Ya immediately walked over; it looked like she was in a hurry.

While she went to bring those people over, Chen Heng did not pick anyone else and instead turned and looked around.

Even though many people had been picked, there were still around 200 or 300 people here.

However, apart from a few of them, most of them looked quite ordinary.

“Hm?”

After looking around, Chen Heng noticed something interesting.

There was a young woman standing in a corner.

She was 15 or 16 years old and was only a bit pretty.

She wore red robes and looked quite introverted and reserved.

From her clothes, she seemed like she was just from an ordinary family, and there was nothing eye-catching about her.

She was 15 or 16 years old, and this would have seemed quite young outside, but here, she was one of the older ones.

However, what attracted Chen Heng’s attention was the Fortune above her head.

There was crimson-red Fortune above her head, which contained traces of gold.

This was very pure Fortune and was not weak at all.

Of course, this Fortune had not been activated and still seemed dormant.

If that wasn’t the case, she would not have seemed so ordinary.

Chen Heng inwardly shook his head and pointed at her.

“What’s your name?” he calmly asked.

“Me?” the young woman raised her head as she looked at Chen Heng, seeming a bit surprised.

However, she reacted quickly and immediately replied, “I’m called Hou Juan.”

“Hou Juan,” Chen Heng nodded, “if you’re willing to come to the Outer Court, come stand behind me.”

To his current self, a person with ordinary Fortune was not a big deal, and he would just casually ask. If she was not willing, it didn’t matter.

Looking at Chen Heng, a look of delight appeared on Hou Juan’s face.

As everyone else watched on enviously, she strode on forwards and walked behind Chen Heng.

Elsewhere, Zhang Ya had brought three people over to Chen Heng.

Looking at Hou Juan, she felt a bit surprised and said quietly to Chen Heng, “Clan brother, this person’s background is ordinary, and she is just the daughter of farmers.”

The daughter of farmers—this meant that even if they took care of her, they would not be able to get much benefits from her.

It seemed that she had some knowledge of the other new disciples.

“It’s fine,” Chen Heng felt a bit surprised but did not explain anything and shook his head.

Seeing Chen Heng’s reaction, Zhang Ya could not help but look at Hou Juan, feeling quite surprised.

“Could it be that clan brother likes this girl?” she looked at Chen Heng then looked at the introverted-looking Hou Juan as she thought to herself.

She simply could not understand why Chen Heng had chosen Hou Juan, but she did not dare to ask either.

After picking Hou Juan, Chen Heng did not do anything else and tossed the medallion to Liu Wen, “You can pick the remaining five people.”

“Thank you, Senior Apprentice Brother!” Liu Wen looked delighted as he gripped the medallion.

He was also from the Outer Court like Chen Heng, but both Chen Heng’s status and cultivation were higher than his.

Reasonably speaking, Chen Heng could pick all of the people by himself without asking for his opinion at all.

Letting him pick half of them was already giving him much face.

After thinking about it, Chen Heng thought of something and smiled as he said, “Don’t worry, Senior Apprentice Brother, I still have some of the spirit wine from last time; I’ll bring some over for you later.”

He thought that he understood what Chen Heng was thinking and patted his chest as he hurriedly promised.

Chen Heng felt quite confused.

Were all cultivators like this?

However, he did not say much and just nodded, seeming satisfied.

Only then did Liu Wen let out a breath and happily went to pick people.

Standing behind Chen Heng and looking at the interaction between the two of them, Zhang Ya thought to herself.

“So this is the world of cultivators…”

She had long since heard that the cultivation world was savage, realistic, and focused on benefits. It seemed that this was indeed the case.

“How is your cultivation?” Chen Heng’s voice sounded out.

“I can already sense spirit qi and am preparing to break through to Spirit Refining.”

Hearing Chen Heng’s words, Zhang Ya hurriedly answered, “I’m sure that within two years, I will be able to reach Spirit Refining Level 1.”

Speaking to there, she instinctively puffed out her chest, evidently seeming quite proud.

Hearing her words, the others looked at her with respect.

“Spirit Refining Level 1…” Chen Heng nodded and asked the others, “What about you?”

Following this, the others began to excitedly speak.

Hou Juan was last.

In actuality, Chen Heng was only intending to ask Hou Juan, and he had only first asked Zhang Ya to start.

However, to the others, that was not the case.

“I..” Meeting Chen Heng’s gaze, Hou Juan lowered her head in embarrassment, “I have yet to sense spirit qi…”

“Yet to sense spirit qi?”

Hearing this, the gazes of the people present changed.

Chen Heng was also surprised, “You haven’t cultivated before?”

This world’s cultivation was roughly similar to what Chen Heng remembered in his memories. It also started with sensing spirit qi, refining spirit qi, and then turning spirit qi into magic energy.

However, for Hou Juan to not be able to sense spirit qi, this meant that she had not even completed the first step of cultivating.

“I… have cultivated for half a year…” Hou Juan said in a small voice, “But I still can’t sense spirit qi…”

Hearing her words, Zhang Ya and the others did not say anything, but they all unconsciously looked disdainful.

To not be able to sense spirit qi after half a year of cultivating; this kind of talent was too poor.

They could not help but wonder how she had entered the Flowing Cloud Sect.

“So it’s like that,” Chen Heng nodded, not seeming to mind, “In terms of sensing spirit qi, I can be said to be your senior. If you have any questions, you can come and find me.”

Hou Juan raised her head in shock as she looked at Chen Heng.

“Hurry up and thank Senior Apprentice Brother,” Zhang Ya said as she looked at Chen Heng with respect, “Senior Apprentice Brother is truly kind.”

“It’s just some advice, not a big deal,” Chen Heng shook his head as he looked into the distance.

Some distance away, there was a young woman also holding a medallion and picking out people.

However, different from Chen Heng, that person was only picking female disciples.

That young woman’s looks were somewhat pretty, and she was one of the more beautiful ones in the Flowing Cloud Sect.

Her name was He Rou, and she was the woman who Chen Heng’s past identity had been infatuated with.

Given her looks, it was no wonder Chen Heng’s previous identity was so smitten with her.

After staring for a while, that young woman seemed to notice him and looked in his direction.

“Senior Apprentice He, is that Senior Apprentice Zhang looking at you again?” another young woman said as she giggled, “It seems that he really is smitten with you.”

“How about you just accept his intentions?”

“Stop joking around.”

Hearing her Apprentice Sisters teasing her, He Rou smiled but did not take them seriously, “He’s just a mere Outer Court Disciple…”

She was not blind and knew how many admirers she had.

However, she did not consider someone like Chen Heng at all.

Even though his looks were decent, no matter if it was his background, cultivation, or other things, they were not worth stooping to his level.

In response to her Apprentice Sisters’ teasing, she only smiled and diligently picked people.

In the end, she did not look at Chen Heng seriously at all.

In the distance, Chen Heng looked away.

He was not Zhang Hao and was not that interested in women.

Even though He Rou’s looks were quite decent in the Flowing Cloud Sect, that was all there was to it.

Not too far away, footsteps sounded out, and Liu Wen happily came over holding the medallion.

Looking at the people he picked, Chen Heng felt quite speechless.

The people Liu Wen had chosen were all young women, and all ones with decent looks.

Looking at how excited he looked, as well as that sly smile on his face, Chen Heng did not know what to say.

As such, he did not say anything and just turned and walked to the side.

They returned the medallion before bringing the new disciples back. After settling them down, Chen Heng slowly returned to his room.

After returning to his room, Chen Heng sat on his bed and thought to himself.

“Spirit Refining Level 3…”

This world’s cultivation began with internalizing spirit energy and refining it into magic energy: This was the Spirit Refining realm.

After the Spirit Refining realm was Foundation Building.

There were some differences to what Chen Heng was familiar with, but the differences were not big.

There was also the issue of worlds.

Chen Heng had entered the Azure Heaven Realm in the past, but that had been a different world.

It seemed that different from the Sorcerer World, the Azure Heaven Realm had different worlds.

This was just like in the real world, which had different planets.

Perhaps this was the case with the Azure Heaven Realm. Maybe the world Chen Heng was in was just one of the planets here.

Different worlds would have different cultivation systems—this was a given.

Even in the real world, people of different countries had different cultures and languages, let alone different worlds.

As such, it was to be expected that the Azure Heaven Realm’s different worlds had different cultivation systems.

Chen Heng had originally felt somewhat surprised, but he now understood.
