Chapter 4: Chapter 4: scouting our new home
Three days have passed. White Tiger has assigned his candidates to their housing. They will remain there until the exams begin. After he has dismissed them there, he has been immediately called to the eldest council with the sect leader. There he reported the terrible destructive power that even several first-class sects have been pulverized. Mountains were moved, the landscape was changed so much that it looked like God himself was changing the landscape. Elite troops were sent to see if there were any survivors. The sad thing was that not even other life signs of other beings could be found.
After this report, one thing became clear to the sect. The balance of power in this region has been shaken. They must prepare for hard times. War and destruction by other rising sects will begin in the future. If they do not manage to build an unshakable foundation within the next five years. Then they will be plundered, enslaved or incorporated by other sects.
Another report from the oldest rat has also revealed other problems. They have only a handful of core members to resist an attack. Their wisdom in defense formation is pathetic. Nor can they amass wealth. They have no pill alchemist. They do not have strong fighting techniques either. In fact, it is a miracle that they have not yet been exterminated.
The sect does not have much influence in the region. Many of the older guests who brought knowledge and power with them have long since left. They hope to get some geniuses of martial arts through the exams. The only thing they can be satisfied with is the location of the sect.
The sect was built inside a mountain landscape. Around it is a valley where a city should be built. There are five mountains surrounding it. The plan is to build a fortress. The mountains offer it natural protection.
Another problem they have is. The Qi density here is low. They have not yet found a solution to fix the problem. Trading with other sects would not be smart in this situation. They would be betraying their position. The reason no one has found them is the fog outside the mountains is responsible for another natural visibility blockage.
In fact, one can say that the sect is nothing more than a mayfly. It comes and goes. To gain a foothold in the world, they need young talented people. Well, they have spent all their wealth to buy young people and train them. The exams are to see what skills they have. A traditional call to attract young people is something they have deliberately not done. Who would join a sect that has nothing to show for itself?
The plan is that the young people who are no good will settle in the valley. Future generations will be able to pass the exams and move up the social ladder. So much for the reports of the oldest council.
The next topic is the exams, how should they be structured?
A long discussion broke out. The days of the exams are not yet fixed. Meanwhile, in the quarters of Lin Ling.
"'What is behind the explosion? Well, my mother warned me not to find her. But I didn't expect it to be such a goodbye. I have not yet fully understood the teachings of Qi. I know that I will become stronger by gathering qi. But this place is not suitable at all. Hm... White Tiger seems to be strong but compared to the big metropolis where I lived with my mother for a short time. White Tiger doesn't seem to be anything special. "
he breathed a short sigh of relief. "After all, I have several goals. First, to become one of the strongest. Second, to find friends who will support me. I will never be able to found or manage a sect alone. But I still have the book from my father. Hmm let's see how it looks with this sect. Should it have bad intentions I will wipe them out. For this I must first learn about its background. "
If others were to follow his thoughts, they would be baffled. How can a young child with not even nine years act so wisely?
Now that nothing important is pending and the exams have no fixed date. Will first Lin Ling analyze the environment.
How he could determine is that he was in principle surrounded by mountains.
On a mountain where he is right now. Some buildings were built. "So this should be the headquarters of the sect here. Incredible to transport so many resources here on the mountain, that probably took time to build."
"But the headquarters is small compared to the city you could even say it's a village. The buildings are made of wood and it's very easy for intruders to trample and burn everything. Not even a wall to protect them. "
He looked at the horizon and saw that there was fog outside the mountain ring.
"So that's why it blocks the view. You can say what you want, but they have found a comfortable place where no one can find them. Amazing and well thought out. But as soon as someone has the position, this advantage is useless. On the other hand White Tiger can fly. If he can do it many others also. The sect also seems to have settled here recently is it about a newly founded sect? Just the point that the buildings are made of wood and not stone only strengthens my suspicions. But why the hell did my mother send me here?
In the middle of nowhere. Where even the people don't know what their future looks like. Is this supposed to be my job? Turning a sect that basically has nothing into the strongest is impossible. How am I supposed to do this on my own. Oh yes there is one person missing I know hehe. She is the devil himself, I will use her."
"What qualities does she have? Well, she's stronger than me right now. Has no humor and is annoying. But she could still be used as a maid haha." Ling lin laughed with a broad smile
"I should go scouting in the lower valley with Jiang Lou. Then I'll have to figure out how to get resources."
Lin Ling went to the house of his future maid. "Hey crybaby come out of your house. We have things to do, I've been assigned to team up with you and scout the lower valley. "
even if it is a lie, but she doesn't know anything about it. No answer even after five minutes of shouting.
"Okay if you disobey orders then I will go to white tiger. Have fun with your punishment!"
"Wait! I don't want any punishment. I had to say a mental goodbye to my father you emotionless monster! "
"You call me monster you are the devil himself swear and make everyone's job hard. Who wants to be on a team with you voluntarily?
If you don't come in three breaths I will tell Tiger. He said to me that you will be sent back if you resist. Since you don't know anyone but me, wouldn't that be your death sentence?"
"Argh why do I have to go somewhere with you people laugh at me when they see me with you".
Angrily she comes out of her house and slams the door.
"Come on we only have time until night falls. I hope you don't get tired."
Jiang Lou replied, "You're in the second stage of body tempering, yet you're so nasty. This will break your neck in the future if you talk to your seniors like that. hmpf."
