Even Xiao Wu couldn’t stand watching these miners.
One by one, they were all skin and bones, barely even cultivators, and their bodies were covered in so much dirt that their age was indistinguishable.
"Sect Leader, I think we should forget about it!" Xiao Wu whispered.
Members of a sect are a symbol of the sect, unlike those secular families who need servants. A sect doesn’t keep idle people.
According to common practice, a sect selects disciples through a rigorous process.
But common practice is one thing; Ye Luo also hoped to recruit some exceptionally gifted members. However, there wasn’t a soul in sight, so how could he be picky?
Perhaps, in a few years, things might improve significantly, but the problem was, Ye Luo simply didn’t have that much time.
Ye Luo glanced at these people and casually pointed, causing raindrops to begin falling from the sky above them, and the rain grew increasingly intense.
This spell can be performed as long as one has a slight mastery of water-type rules, so it wasn’t surprising at all.
However, Ye Luo’s rain was somewhat different, containing an abundance of spiritual power that washed away their filth while rapidly restoring their vitality, allowing Ye Luo to gain a clearer understanding of their aptitude.
After a round of cleansing, these miners seemed as if they had been replaced with entirely new people. Their previous expressions had been listless, their presence worn, but now they appeared at least somewhat normal.
Ye Luo roughly surveyed the group; these miners couldn’t be said to have dull aptitude. Many of them had never cultivated, and these miners were indeed quite young.
After all, without cultivation, older people couldn’t mine ores at all, so the bandits had to find young people. These individuals’ bodies were quite well-honed, even more resilient than those of some lower-level cultivators.
"Do you know why I’ve brought you out here?" Ye Luo said slowly.
These young people stared at him blankly, with a hint of fear in their eyes. It was clear they thought Ye Luo was a bandit too.
"I know what you’re thinking. Look at this!" In his hand, Ye Luo suddenly had a few bandit heads! These were heads he had deliberately kept when he killed the bandits earlier.
Instantly, the miners cried out in surprise. They might not recognize the bandit leader, but these heads belonged to people who often brandished whips, showing off in front of them!
Therefore, even though these heads were caked in blood, they could still recognize them.
"Those bandits have been driven away by me. Now, what I want to do is change your fate!" Ye Luo continued.
However, after a brief moment of excitement, their expressions returned to normal!
Strictly speaking, they were slaves, sold from one force to another, their situation growing worse each time. As for Ye Luo’s talk of changing their fate, they simply didn’t believe it because they knew they weren’t qualified to even discuss fate; they were the most aware of that fact.
"I know you dare not believe it. You’re still young, and you have a long road ahead. I am the Sect Leader of the Wudang Sect, newly established. Would you like to become my disciples, follow me in cultivation? No matter your aptitude, if you join my sect, I’ll ensure you succeed in cultivation!"
After speaking, Ye Luo waved his hand and punched forward toward the mountain.
With a thunderous boom, the mountain peak suddenly exploded, and the mountaintop was leveled!
Seeing this, the miners immediately widened their eyes; such power was beyond their understanding!
It’s like the people on Earth encountering Superman; they also understood that such a strong individual wouldn’t joke around with them!
"Pay respects to the Sect Leader; I’m willing to follow the Sect Leader in cultivation!" One brave young man immediately knelt down and declared fearfully.
Because he wasn’t sure if Ye Luo truly intended to accept them as disciples.
Meanwhile, the other miners stood by, watching hesitantly, looking at Ye Luo with doubt.
"Good, I admire your courage. This is your deserved reward!"
After speaking, Ye Luo pointed at him, and a surge of Origin Source was transmitted. Instantly, the miner’s body burst with popping noise like beans, although he wasn’t a cultivator, his realm rapidly advanced.
Before long, his realm reached the Qi Cyclone Realm level eight! Although in Ye Luo’s eyes, this level of cultivator was of little value, but for a miner who previously knew nothing about cultivation?
Ye Luo himself, from knowing nothing about cultivation to achieving the Qi Cyclone Realm, took how many years? Ten, twenty years? Certainly more!
Only after coming to the Martial Realm did he reach this level, amidst so much peril and hardship experienced, which only he knew!
And Ye Luo was considered a peerless genius. How many cultivators, throughout their lives, could not reach this realm.
In this sense, this miner was simply blessed with incredible luck. If he hadn’t met Ye Luo, not to mention reaching the Qi Cyclone Realm, even stepping onto the path of cultivation seemed hopeless.
At this moment, the miner’s whole body trembled; he naturally understood what happened. Previously, he was an uncertain miner; now, he was a real cultivator, already reaching the Cyclone Realm! This was a leap like a dragon soaring through the heavens!
Therefore, in his heart, Ye Luo was like a reborn parent! He could only respectfully bow to Ye Luo to express his gratitude.
This scene naturally left all the miners in shock! Instantly, these miners uniformly knelt on the ground, collectively bowing to Ye Luo, looking at him as if he was a god.
Of course, achieving this took a considerable amount of Origin Source from Ye Luo, merely to produce one example to attract them and win their hearts!
If he were to elevate all these hundreds to that level, it would certainly exhaust his origin; he naturally wouldn’t do that.
"Alright, come with me to the sect; his cultivation is merely a starting point. Your future accomplishments will certainly surpass his, and your cultivation resources will be provided to the fullest extent by the sect!" Ye Luo said slowly.
Actually, these miners weren’t entirely envious of the previous miner; what they cared about was that Ye Luo wasn’t deceiving them.
Most of them didn’t understand cultivation and naturally didn’t know what a realm meant. What they cared about was how to survive! Having a stable place to sleep warmly and eat sufficiently was already heaven for them.
