Chapter 3: First Disciple
After observing the ceremony, Long Jun felt that the monument to test the aptitude of the youngsters are not as good as the system's talent measurement
One example is that a youngster called Wei Xiang, He passed the test as he was only 17 years, 5th stage Qi condensation cultivator. However, according to the system, his innate talent was only 11
Compare that to another youngster was disqualified just because he was in the 3rd stage of Qi condensation. That youngster was called Lin Lin and his innate talent was 19, according to the system
'This test is really unreasonable' Long Jun thought as the test doesn't take into account how long one have cultivated for nor does it consider the resources that the tester took
Time passed by and the recruitment ceremony was coming to an end, after a whole day of testing, each major sect recruited roughly 100 disciples each with each disciple accepted having an average innate value of 20
However just as the line of tester was coming to an end, people around him started to whisper as the figure who was about to be tested is none other than the prince consort of the Azure Cloud Empire
{the prince consort here refers to the husband of the princess}
"Hey, isn't he the one from the rumours?"
"I heard that the prince consort is a one in a hundred year genius"
"So strong... I could not even guess the cultivation base that this guy have"
As the chatter grew louder and louder, a handsome male who had striking red hair as well as deep black colored eye walked to the testing monument
The crowd went into a complete silent as they are fully focused on seeing the results of the young man
The young man than placed his hand on the testing monument and the elder who was supervising the whole test had a suprised expression as he yelled out
"Li Chen, Bone age 18, Peak Qi condensation realm, pass"
Cheers erupted as the crowd heard the words of the elder. Curious with the so called one in a hundred year talent, Long Jun used the system appraisal on him
[Name: Li Chen
Age: 18
Talent: 30
Physique: Spirit Body ( The possesor of the spirit body is able to automatically purify qi inside his body, boosting his cultivation speed several times)
Cultivation: Qi Condensation Stage 9]
Looking at Li Chen's stats, Long Jun felt that his system talent measurement is faulty
Well, what could he say, Long Jun had an innate talent of 59 whereas this Li Hao had only 30. However, Long Jun was able to reach the core formation stage at the same age of Li Hao whereas the later have not even broke through to the foundation establishment realm

[Explaining to the host, the innate talent measurement numbers resemble an exponential graph rather than a straight line. The higher the talent number, the larger the gap of talent. For example, if someone had an innate talent of 65, he could reach the Nascent soul realm at the same age as the host]
[But the host doesn't need to worry, with the system help, the host will become reach the peak of this world]
Long Jun felt that the system explanation is quite reasonable and it made him more disappointed as even the greatest genius in a century only had 30 innate talent, how was he supposed to find someone with at least 50 innate talent?
Soon, the recruitment ceremony came to an end, with the prince consort Li Chen being the last qualified tester as he joined the Azure Cloud Gate
Frustated because he could not find a suitable disciple, Long Jun got up from his seat and head back to his manor
"It seems unlike those cliche novels, it is not that easy to recruit someone with a hidden talent huh" Long Jun muttered as he had read his share of 'Master type' cultivation novels back on Earth
-------------
-The Next Day-
Although the recruitment for the 4 major sects have finished yesterday, many youngsters along with their family were still in the capital city. Some stayed to celebrate their admission to the major sects while others were hoping that their juniors could join ordinary cultivation sects as the requirement to join the ordinary ones is not as tough as the major sects
Long Jun has decided that he was going to visit nearby cities as he did not manage to find a suitable disciple in the capital city
However, just as he was about to pass the city gates, Long Jun saw a passed out young man who looked like he was on the verge of death, barely surviving as many burn marks could be seen all over the young man's body.
Although, Long Jun felt pity looking at the young man, he was not a saint and he knew that he can not help everyone in this harsh world where the strong prey on the week
Curiousity got the better of him as Long Jun use the appraisal eye on the young boy, and the next moment, Long Jun had his jaw dropped to the ground as he looked at the innate talent of the boy
[Name: Ming Huo
Age: 18
Talent: 65
Physique: Ancient Flame Body (The posessor of the ancient flame body posses an innate connection to the primordial essence of fire, granting them the power to control over flames and heat. Their bodies are infused with the essence of the celestial fire, granting them a radiant, fiery aura that sets them apart from ordinary cultivators)
Cultivation: None]
"Jackpot!" Long Jun muttered as he looked at the details of Ming Huo
He then moved towards Ming Huo but as the later was in a critical condition and in no position to have a conversation, Long Jun then directly picked Ming Huo and brought him to the Divine Chaos Sect
Arriving in the sect, Long Jun then fed Ming Huo a tier 2 healing pill and Ming Huo's condition improved instationously. Although he is still suffering from burn marks. However, he was not on the verge of death any longer
Ming Huo regained his consciousness and immediately thanked Long Jun as he kneeled on the ground "Thank you kind sir!",Ming Huo said as he knew that the person in front of him was the one who saved him
"No worries young man, my name is Long Jun and I am the sect master of the Divine Chaos sect. What should I call you?" Long Jun replied as he could not wait to recruit this fellow as his disciple
"This lowly one is called Ming Huo" Ming Huo said carefully, hearing that the person in front of him is a sect master
"You do not need to be afraid young man as I did not saved you with ill intentions." Long Jun replied then asked a question "The reason I saved you was because I wanted something from you. Tell me young man, are you willing to be my disciple?"
Ming Huo was surprised hearing Long Jun's words but he quicly yelled "THIS MING HUO IS WILLING!!" he then got into four knees and banged his head to the ground, as if he was kowtowing to god

[Main Quest Completed]
[Would you like to open the reward?]
[Y/N]
"Alright, from now on you are the oldest disciple of the Divine Chaos Sect and the first personal disciple of mine" Long Jun replied excitedly as he completed yet another system quest
"Thank you for giving me this chance master!"
