Chapter 93

There is a clear difference between the Eight-Stream Sects and the Nine-Stream Sects, which can be seen from the Cold Cloud Sect.

After the Cold Cloud Sect was promoted to an Eight-Stream Sect, the resources it occupied immediately expanded several times over, and the resources all disciples received were also several times more than before.

To put it simply, they used to be able to get a bottle of low-grade elixirs each month from the Cold Cloud Sect, but now, they can get at least two bottles, or even three.

Moreover, when the Cold Cloud Sect was still a Nine-Stream Sect, these disciples would sometimes encounter disciples from other Nine-Stream Sects. Although the other party would be polite, it was just a formality.

When they encountered disciples from Eight-Stream Sects, the latter would look down on them, their chins almost reaching the sky, and they wouldn't even consider these Nine-Stream Sect disciples.

But since the Cold Cloud Sect was promoted to an Eight-Stream Sect, when they encountered those former Nine-Stream Sect disciples, the latter would hurriedly come over, bowing and scraping. Even when they encountered Eight-Stream Sect disciples, the other party no longer looked down on them but treated them as equals.

This is the elevation of status and the difference in identity.

Having gotten used to this feeling of superiority, how could they agree to go back to a Nine-Stream Sect and endure the contemptuous looks of others?

Not to mention, the Cold Cloud Sect's Sect Master has already broken through to the Dragon God Realm, a huge backing that few dare to provoke.

It's just a newly established sect, and although Ling Qinghai has many resources, how many resources can a sect established by a Dragon Vein Realm cultivator have?

It's said that when the Cold Cloud Sect was first established, it almost spent all its funds. Anyone who joined the Cold Cloud Sect did so voluntarily, not only without receiving resources but also contributing their own.

However, these people have now become elders or similar positions in the Cold Cloud Sect, wielding significant power within the sect.

"Back then, you all know the situation of the Cold Cloud Sect. While adding flowers to brocade is good, the most important thing is to provide help in times of need. You all have a chance to become elders of the God Slaying Pavilion in the future."

Ling Qinghai saw that the tens of thousands of people in front of him were not speaking and showed a strong reluctance, so he said.

Although selecting fifty spots at once made him feel a bit heartache, he worried that these disciples might think the Cold Cloud Sect didn't value them.

But Ling Qinghai had to do this. Just for that one painting by Su Han, even if it were five hundred spots, Ling Qinghai would give them to Su Han.

This favor is truly too great.

"God Slaying Pavilion elders?"

Hearing this, most people sneered.

The elders of the Cold Cloud Sect did indeed rise to prominence after enduring much hardship.

Who knows if the God Slaying Pavilion can become the next Cold Cloud Sect? Who knows if the God Slaying Pavilion will be quickly destroyed after its establishment?

They had just joined the Cold Cloud Sect with great effort. If they joined the God Slaying Pavilion and it was destroyed, what would they do then?

Su Han naturally understood their concerns and thoughts but did not speak, only watching quietly.

The people he needed to select must be loyal to the God Slaying Pavilion and genuinely want to join it.

Because these people would become the backbone of the God Slaying Pavilion in the future, and Su Han would sincerely teach them.

Otherwise, if Su Han were to take out a set of low-grade silver equipment, many people would probably vie to join the God Slaying Pavilion.

"Still no one willing?"

Ling Qinghai frowned, looking at Su Han with a hint of apology and said telepathically, "Young Master Su, I have no other options. After all, they are all disciples of the Cold Cloud Sect, and I can't say too much."

Su Han nodded slightly, understanding Ling Qinghai.

As the Sect Master, could he chase away the disciples of the Cold Cloud Sect?

That would only dishearten these disciples.

"Master, is joining the God Slaying Pavilion voluntary?" a disciple suddenly asked.

"Um." Ling Qinghai nodded.

"Then I quit."

After saying this, the disciple immediately took a step back.

"I quit too."

"I'm the same."

Following the first disciple's withdrawal, almost all of the forty thousand people on the square took a few steps back.

Only about a dozen people remained at the front.

These dozen people looked at each other, their faces showing signs of hesitation and struggle.

Although they had passed the examination to enter the Cold Cloud Sect and were not too bad in terms of talent, they were not as good as others.

In any sect or force, there are always some weaker people who are bullied, and these dozen people belonged to that category.

Since joining the Cold Cloud Sect, they had been bullied, and the resources they received were often snatched away by other disciples before they could even warm up to them.

They were angry, but they had no choice. The others all had strong backing, either being disciples of inner sect elders or outer sect elders, while they had no backing at all and could only grit their teeth and endure.

Now, the Cold Cloud Sect suddenly offered them this opportunity, and they had to consider it.

"Even if the God Slaying Pavilion is really destroyed in the future, it's better than staying in the Cold Cloud Sect."

Their lowered eyes were filled with a glimmer of hope. Even if the God Slaying Pavilion was weak and really destroyed, they could leave the Cold Cloud Sect, which had left them with psychological scars.

And if the God Slaying Pavilion didn't get destroyed and developed, they would eventually rise to prominence!

After a moment, someone suddenly shouted, "I am willing to join the God Slaying Pavilion!"

Su Han suddenly looked up and saw that the person who spoke was a somewhat thin, slightly pale-faced young man.

However, when Su Han saw this young man, his eyes lit up.

Because around this young man, there were extremely astonishing magical elements, much more concentrated than those around Yang Lin and Lian Yuzhe, almost reaching the peak.

Moreover, the magical elements around this young man were not low-level elemental magic elements like the five elements, but... spatial elements!

The power of spatial elements is undeniable. In his previous life, Su Han had seen a Saint Mage who mastered spatial elements, who could easily create a massive crack in space with a wave of his hand, a crack several tens of thousands of feet long, with power strong enough to fight a common Elemental God of the five elements!

If it weren't for the other tens of thousands of people retreating, Su Han might have had to search for him, but now he was standing right in front of him. It was truly a case of "searching high and low without finding, and then finding it effortlessly."

Most importantly, this person was willing to join the God Slaying Pavilion!
