Chapter 5595“Here are 60,000 immortal stones, for the two of us…”David casually took out a storage bag and tossed it to the Sword Sect disciple.The disciple was slightly taken aback, seeing David so easily produce 60,000 immortal stones, assuming he must be from a wealthy family.“Haha, that’s generous, but joining the Sword Sect will only make you a menial disciple.”“If you want to join the Sword Guards, I can help you with introductions.” Clearly, he wanted David and the others to continue spending immortal stones.“No need, being able to join the Sword Sect and become a disciple is already a great honor,”Fang Xiang quickly waved his hand in refusal.His 30,000 immortal stones were only obtained with David’s help. Becoming a Sword Guard would require 100,000 immortal stones just for registration, plus connections and favors—where would he find so many immortal stones?He didn’t want to end up not even being able to join the Sword Sect.“Alright, whatever you want. After you join the Sword Sect, you can continue the assessment and enter the Sword Guard.”With that, he ignored the three and turned to go inside.The man in the short-sleeved shirt quickly winked at David and Fang Xiang, whispering, “Don’t worry, you two. This gentleman is the examiner. With his help, you’ll definitely be fine.”David and Fang Xiang nodded helplessly and followed the man in the short-sleeved shirt out of the courtyard.The next day, the assessment site was bustling with activity. Cultivators from all over gathered there, hoping to join the Sword Sect and rise through the ranks.noveldramaDavid spotted the man he had seen the day before in the examiner’s group and sneered inwardly.The assessment began, with various events conducted in sequence, including swordsmanship competitions and spiritual power tests.David and Fang Xiang, relying on their own strength, overcame all obstacles and successfully passed each assessment. (At the end, the examinerannounced the list of successful candidates, and David and Fang Xiang’s names were prominently displayed, drawing envious glances from those around them.Fang Xiang, his face flushed with excitement, clenched his fists tightly and shouted excitedly, “I succeeded! I’ve finally joined the Sword Sect!”He turned and hugged David tightly, his voice choked with emotion, saying, “Brother Chen, thanks to you, without you, I wouldn’t have had this opportunity.”David forced a smile, patted Fang Xiang’s back, and said, “Congratulations, from now on we’re fellow disciples.”However, his expression was somewhat cold, and his eyes revealed deep worry.During the initial assessment, many people with mediocre talent and strength, even some dullards, were able to join the Sword Sect.Yet, some clearly talented individuals with exceptional swordsmanship were ultimately eliminated.Clearly, this was the result of favoritism.If this continued, the Sword Sect might truly be destroyed.Fang Xiang and David officially became disciples of the Sword Sect, and these new disciples were led into a large courtyard.At this moment, a group of senior disciples swaggered over, led by a smug-looking fellow with greedy eyes named Wang Hu.Wang Hu crossed his arms, glanced sideways at David and Fang Xiang, and said sarcastically, “Oh, newcomers, don’t know the rules, huh? In this Sword Sect, new disciples have to show respect to the senior disciples. Hand over your immortal stones.”Fang Xiang frowned, though dissatisfied, he suppressed his anger and said, “We just joined the Sword Sect, and we don’t have many immortal stones. We hope senior brother can be lenient.”Wang Hu sneered, “Leverage? That won’t do. If you don’t hand over your immortal stones today, don’t even think about cultivating here properly.”David frowned, his anger rising. Becoming a disciple by spending immortal stones was bad enough, but he hadn’t expected the Sword Sect to engage in such bullying and oppression.It seemed the Sword Sect really needed a serious overhaul, otherwise it would be utterly rotten.David couldn’t understand how his master, Mo Chen, managed the Sword Sect. ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ꜰʀᴏᴍ find✦novel.net
