Chapter 1153: Chapter 839 Becoming a Big Shot!_4

As the number of people increased, it was no longer feasible to wait outside the room, so everyone began waiting in front of the building each day.

At the same time, it also served the purpose of roll call.

Facing the greetings from numerous disciples, Wang Zijia nodded slightly and looked around, spotting a few new faces.

Compared to the initial few cats and dogs, there were now over a dozen children, seven or eight years old.

Even more were half-grown kids, with boys in the majority and quite a few girls as well—all of them servants and Taoist Boys under him!

And he hadn’t actively sought any of them out; they were all pushed on him from various places!

Moreover, each of them came from no humble background, rather, most had quite the pedigree.

At the very least, they were the leading descendants of a Heavenly Immortal Level clan, potential future leaders, and even heirs.

They had been gradually sent to him as Wang Zijia’s influence slowly grew.

And for these individuals, whether or not Wang Zijia eventually took them as disciples, this bond of incense would continue over the coming years, forming a core interest group.

Ultimately, they would become the direct lineage of the Spirit Suppressing Pavilion!

This must be part of Shen Hong’s traditional culture—most clans probably operated in this way.

Perhaps that’s why the initial stage of cultivation was called the Child Stage!

Because it represented endless possibilities.

Looking around, Wang Zijia noted that in just half a month, another five members had been added.

Wang Zijia wasn’t surprised; ever since he had entrusted Ice Frost with this task, the positions in his building had been treated as super valuable resources by the other party.

"There are indeed quite a few new faces," Wang Zijia stated nonchalantly.

An Xingsheng immediately gestured for several individuals to come forward and began introducing them attentively to Wang Zijia: "This is a junior from the Ling family of the Ancient Department, Ling Sheng!"

"Greetings, Master!" said an eight-year-old boy, with a hint of baby fat, who now tried his best to put on an adult-like demeanor and respectfully performed a greeting to Wang Zijia.

"You’re quite the climber," Wang Zijia remarked, upon hearing the boy’s form of address, but offered no rebuke. As was customary, he handed over a Seventh Grade Jade Talisman to the boy and admonished him:

"Although what I have here is specially made and does not require you to use any of your power to activate it, it does seal within an Immortal grade Spell. To trigger and harness its lock-targeting, you’d at least have to reach the Fourth Realm and achieve the status of an Infant God."

"Disciple will heed the Master’s teachings and will achieve the status of an Infant God as soon as possible!" Little Ling Sheng earnestly declared.

Wang Zijia waved his hand indifferently and stopped paying him any further attention.

Seeing this, An Xingsheng promptly moved on to a girl around ten years old and introduced her: "This is from the Five Elements Sect’s Ice Snow family..."

Each of the newcomers was introduced to Wang Zijia by An Xingsheng, and Wang Zijia, adhering to custom, gave each of them a specially made Seventh Grade Void Spirit Jade Talisman.

These children might only be disciples or Sacrificial Wine, but Wang Zijia was handing out Immortal grade treasures as if he was at a loss?

However... the offerings they brought to be able to come here, to enter the Immortal Cliff Residence to serve, were so extravagant that Wang Zijia would gasp and feel like their clans had gone mad.

This wasn’t an exaggeration but Wang Zijia’s own experience!

Wang Zijia remembered, when Ice Frost had An Xingsheng ask if he could send some major connections to his building—regardless of whether they were taught, just serving tea, carrying water, and being a Taoist Boy.

Wang Zijia hadn’t cared at first, thinking that Ice Frost wanted to formalize the secretarial team of the Immortal Cliff Residence and left it to Ice Frost to manage.

As a result, the few individuals here expanded to dozens. Wang Zijia felt it was getting excessive and warned against making it too extravagant.

Then he found out about Ice Frost ’selling’ quotas, which initially left him somewhat speechless.

And well... when he had Ice Frost report to him, Ice Frost simply handed him a ledger.

Then Wang Zijia shut up, not only that, but in his free time, he occasionally taught the children.

There was no helping it; the items their families provided made even Wang Zijia feel somewhat guilty, feeling uneasy about accepting the gifts!

Have you ever heard of a Celestial Immortal clan offering half of their clan library—the top-secret kind—in exchange for the opportunity for their heir to serve as a child?

This was utter madness!

Not to mention, this was before—according to how Wang Zijia pressured Ice Frost, who solely focused on profits, the price for these five children who arrived in the past few days was likely even more outrageous!

Of course, the reasons behind their outrageous actions were not just for the position of a child. It also signified becoming a member of the direct lineage of the Spirit Suppressing Pavilion, with the attached benefits of various interest groups. Otherwise, they would indeed be insane!
