Chapter 925: Chapter 945: Without Backup, We’ll Still Be Bullied_1

Recruiting disciples widely and preferring the stronger ones?

Never accepting disciples before but suddenly doing so now, coldly and indiscriminately taking in anyone?

Is it a coincidence?

Or do they have other purposes?

When you doubt someone’s motives, all their actions become suspicious.

But since they are recruiting disciples, wouldn’t it be an opportunity for me to investigate and find out if Three Ghosts Gate is indeed the culprit behind the Blood Case in Kong Yuan City?

Lin Chen, who was originally planning on pretending to be a weak cultivator, decided not to do so and put his flying sword back into the space.

Besides a Void Profound Expert, who was said to be in Closed Door Cultivation, there were two or three Transforming God experts in the Three Ghosts Gate. The rest were Nascent Soul experts. With his Nascent Soul Strength, Lin Chen should be able to gain more attention and opportunities to get in touch with the higher-ups by joining the Three Ghosts Gate.

After a lengthy explanation, the middle-aged man in front of them said, "Those who want to join the Three Ghosts Gate can line up now."

A long queue formed immediately, as the Three Ghosts Gate was a well-known Alchemy Sect in the area, and it was backed by a Void stage expert. Despite not being as strong as the top sects, it definitely had considerable strength.

Sects usually didn’t accept loose cultivators, because they did not have the sense of belonging that those raised from ordinary people would have. Hence, such an opportunity was quite rare.

As long as they joined the Three Ghosts Gate, they would no longer be lonely ghosts and would have a sect to rely on.

Lin Chen stood quietly in the queue, having already fabricated a fake identity for himself.

Lin Chen observed that the recruitment process by the Three Ghosts Gate was quite lax. They would roughly ask about the person’s name, background, verify their strength, and then register them, effectively completing the entrance audit.

A 100% acceptance rate!

Lin Chen became more doubtful. Was recruiting disciples in a sect supposed to be this arbitrary, accepting everyone without question?

Something was off!

Soon it was Lin Chen’s turn. Lin Chen replied succinctly, "Loose cultivator, Lin Chu, Nascent Soul Great Perfection."

The surrounding people immediately cast strange glances. After all, someone with Nascent Soul Great Perfection was already a very powerful expert in the cultivation world. Why would such a person need to join a sect?

The middle-aged man who was registering them had a mix of surprise and joy in his eyes, "You have quite an impressive strength, why do you want to join the Three Ghosts Gate?"

Lin Chen replied, "Without a sect, even with Nascent Soul Great Perfection, I’m still bullied. Moreover, as I progress in cultivation, I require more and more resources. I hope to join the Three Ghosts Gate to have a sect as a backer and also learn the art of alchemy, which will save me many detours in the future."

Lin Chen’s words were reasonable and the middle-aged man nodded, asking, "Where are you from?"

Lin Chen replied, "I am originally from Raging Lion City, but I have been wandering and cultivating with no fixed abode."

Lin Chen had a Beast Taming Bag on his person, so he mentioned Raging Lion City to make everything seem more logical.

The middle-aged man noted it down and casually asked, "Who else is in your family? Are there any other cultivators?"

Lin Chen answered, "No, it’s just me."

The middle-aged man nodded, handed Lin Chen a Waist Token, and said, "Alright, this is your Waist Token. Wait on the side, someone will take you into the sect later."

"Thank you!"

Lin Chen, holding the Waist Token, went to join the group of people who had passed the audit. As he arrived, a young man enthusiastically greeted him, "Big brother, hello. My name is Zhang Lin. We’ll be fellow disciples soon, please take care of me in the future."

Lin Chen nodded with a smile, "Lin Chu, let’s take care of each other."

Zhang Lin looked at Lin Chen admiringly, "Brother Lin, you look so young, and you’re already at Nascent Soul Great Perfection. So impressive! My talent is average, and after decades of cultivation, I am only at Foundation Establishment Great Perfection, unable to break through to Golden Core..."

Since they had time, Lin Chen casually asked, "How did you guys find out that they were recruiting here?"

Zhang Lin replied, "Three Ghosts Gate issued notifications in several nearby cities, and many people rushed over. Today is just the first day, and more are expected to arrive."

Lin Chen inquired, "How many people are they planning to recruit?"

Zhang Lin shook his head, "I heard that there is no limit to the number of people they want to recruit. As long as the conditions are met, they will accept all of them."

Lin Chen said with a laugh, "Recruiting so many disciples at once will greatly increase the sect’s strength."

Zhang Lin looked forward with anticipation, "Starting today, we are also disciples of the Three Ghosts Gate. The increase in strength is a good thing for us, but..."

Zhang Lin stopped abruptly mid-sentence.

Lin Chen stared at Zhang Lin, "But what?"

Zhang Lin hesitated for a moment, but perhaps wanting to establish a good relationship with Lin Chen, a Nascent Soul Great Perfection expert, he eventually whispered, "I’ve noticed that among the disciples joining the sect, there are many with poor character, and even those who have committed a lot of killings. I fear that the sect will not be peaceful in the future..."

Lin Chen’s gaze became intense, "How do you know?"

"My home is nearby in Giant Fire City. Many people here are also from Giant Fire City. In a city’s cultivation circle, people usually know each other to some extent."

Zhang Lin pointed his chin at the fierce-looking middle-aged man in the distance and whispered, "That one’s called Zhao Tiedan. He slaughtered a whole family of over a hundred people just because someone offended him with their words. He’s not a good person..."

Lin Chen glanced at Zhao Tiedan in the distance and his suspicions deepened. Are they truly recruiting disciples, accepting all sorts of people without any standards?
