Chapter 22: Gathering Talents Pavilion (Seeking Bookmarks)

  Juxian Hall is a spiritual law building that can only be established above the city level. The function of this hall is to gather talents and provide a talent recruitment platform for all strongholds and manors within the territory of Rongmu City.

  The Hall of Gathered Virtues has three levels; as one ascends each level, the quality of the talents differs.

  The first layer is called practical talent, and consciousness is having practical talent.

  The second layer is called genius.

  The third layer is called genius, and those who can climb to the third layer are all outstanding among people.

  Chen Yuan wants talented people, so he naturally wants to go to the third floor to recruit them. However, unfortunately, those who can be called talents will absolutely not follow him, this quasi-owner who hasn't even established an estate.

  Even a second-rate genius is beyond his reach. Only in the first tier can he choose the real talent.

  The most important thing in the Juxian Hall, apart from the evaluation of others, is a stele called Tianying. It is said that everyone can test their talent and aptitude on the Tianying Stele, which will also rank these people. Those who can enter the top twenty can go to the third floor, obtain the title of Yingcai, and Juxian Hall will provide accommodation, food, and cultivation resources, with a monthly salary of 33-level Yaojing.

  Twenty-one to one hundred is a genius, and there are salaries and some reward benefits.

  Outside of the top 100 and within the top 1,000, they are considered genuine talents. Receiving a third-grade demon crystal every month is also considered a pretty good benefit.

  Of course, Ju Xian Guan will not serve these people forever. Anyone who is recruited, builds their own power or reaches the age of three will be disqualified from Ju Xian Guan.

  In addition, the Gathering Hall will also issue some tasks and summoning orders. The monks in the hall can accept tasks and get rewards.

  Chen Yuan had not yet entered the Ju Xian Tang when he bought a copy of the Ju Xian Tang talent data book from a nearby stall.

  This booklet doesn't know who compiled it, recording the top 1000 talents of Juxian Hall, including virtuosos, geniuses and outstanding talents. Chen Yuan also knew that it was difficult to recruit geniuses and outstanding talents, so he skipped over this group of people's introduction and flipped directly to the list of virtuosos.

  The people on the list of real talents are recorded a bit casually. After Chen Yuan's selection, he took seriously more than a dozen people. However, for specific recruitment, it is necessary to conduct face-to-face assessment. Now that his family and business are small, he naturally wants to be cautious, otherwise, recruiting a wolf or a mouse will harm himself.

  Put away the little book, and later there will be opportunities to meet some talented people, maybe even win over one or two. Today's main goal is still to recruit practical, useful, honest and suitable talents for opening up new territories.

  Upon entering the Ju Xian Tang, there was also someone to greet us. However, unlike the errand boy from the Baibao shop and the doorman from the auction house, this time it was a refined gentleman who came to welcome us, with a demeanor and speech that were devoid of any rustic or common tone.

  "Your Excellency, I don't know what brings you to the Gathering of Talents Pavilion?"

  "I want to recruit talent." Chen Yuan replied.

  "Recruitment of talents requires having a qualification above that of a village master. I wonder if you have a village master identity token?" asked Wen Shi.

  Is the Lord's Identity Token still required for recruiting talents?

  Chen Yuan was taken aback for a moment and said with some embarrassment: "I haven't built a villa yet."

  "I'm very sorry, you don't have the qualifications for recruitment."

  Chen Yuan, however, was unwilling to give up: "I am about to build a village, can't I recruit first?"

  "The rules are set, and you can't act arbitrarily. There's no need to rush, you can choose to go to the City Lord's Mansion first, apply and take the exam through the City Lord's Mansion, get the Manor Lord Token, and then come here for recruitment." Wen Shi explained.

  Chen Yuan nodded, now there's no other way. Can't recruit, can only go to the city master's mansion first, but the application process is complicated, and this afternoon's auction meeting may not have enough time.

  All we can do is wait until tomorrow!

  He came to the Gathering Hall of Talents, although he couldn't recruit anyone, but Chen Yuan was like testing himself. The Tianying Stele in this Gathering Hall of Talents can measure a person's talent, understand their strengths and weaknesses, and Chen Yuan also wanted to see what kind of talent he had become after cultivating the Yin Yang Cultivation Technique.

  "Can I test it on the Heavenly Stele?" Chen Yuan asked.

  "Alright. The test requires three pieces of secondary demon crystal as a fee."

  At present, a second-grade demon crystal is nothing more than a drop in the bucket for Chen Yuan. He handed it over quickly and had Wen Shi take it to the side hall of the Ju Xian Guan.

  "Line up here!"

  "Thank you!"

  There were many people testing in the side hall, and Chen Yuan had to queue up. Chen Yuan looked forward and saw that a monk had just finished the test, and heard a voice that was neither male nor female report:

  "Age twenty-four, in the middle of actual practice, with a foundation of four elements, practicing the Golden Wood method, with lower quality and no special skills. Rated as ordinary, not among the best."

  Ding etc., did not enter the flow. Suddenly brought many big laughs.

  The person who was tested walked out with a red face, indignantly and discontentedly.

  "A legal instrument, it's all about how you look at people. I don't believe it!"

  Chen Yuan watched him storm off with a flick of his sleeve, shaking his head slightly. This person's mind was too weak, running over to test him and yet unwilling to admit it.

  But thinking about it, being ridiculed in public, no one's face would look good either.

  He also felt a slight unease in his heart: "If I were to be evaluated as unqualified, wouldn't that make me the laughing stock when recruiting talents..."

  However, he soon calmed down and with his current cultivation of the Straight Pointing Mystic Sword Technique and mastery of formation spells, if he was still evaluated as unremarkable, it would be a bit too unbelievable for this Genius Stele.

  One by one, people went in for the test. Most of them got a "Ding" grade, but there were also some who got a "Beng" grade. Beng is considered to be hopeful for refining Qi, but it's unknown whether they can succeed in building their foundation. Among hundreds of people, more than half got a Ding grade, less than half got a Beng grade, and only a few got a Yi grade. However, even those with a Yi grade couldn't squeeze into the top thousand rankings.

  It was soon Chen Yuan's turn himself, he kept a calm mind and walked in front of the Tianying Stele.

  The Tianying Stele is a black stone stele with the four characters "Tian Du Ying Cai" engraved on it, which makes Chen Yuan somewhat puzzled as to what it means.

  The stele shines with a soft light, yet it gives people an extraordinary feeling.

  Following Wenshi's guidance, he drew a drop of his own blood and dripped it onto the Tianying Stele.

  The Tianying Stele absorbed the essence of blood, then emitted a burst of purple light. Chen Yuan felt a surge of mysterious power entering his body. Although it was somewhat uncomfortable, there was no harm, but when the strange power approached his heart, the Jade Stele slightly moved and absorbed all the mysterious power.

  "Huh?" Chen Yuan was slightly stunned, but the jade stele was his core secret. At this time, there were many people around, and although he had doubts, it wasn't suitable to investigate here, so he pretended nothing was wrong.

  After Tianying Stele was swallowed by Yu Bei, the entire stele began to shake.

  The Tianying Stele had a problem and the manager of the Ju Xuan Tang appeared quickly.

  This is a master who has built the foundation to the extreme, with strong strength, came to the front of Tianying Stele, and struck out several law seals, before suppressing the jade stele.

  Ji Gong's expression was stern and awe-inspiring without being angry, his eyes fell on Chen Yuan.

  "What's going on?"

  A formless pressure made Chen Yuan somewhat hard to breathe, but he had withstood the three-level peak demon beast's attack and was not afraid of him. Taking a deep breath, he replied calmly: "Back to the matter at hand, after I dripped my essence blood just now, the Tianying Stele reacted like this."

  Zhu Ji Xiu's eyes widened slightly, apparently surprised that Chen Yuan was still so calm under his pressure. However, he handled the situation fairly and announced:

  "Today's trial of the Heavenly Jade Stele has too many people, and the consumption of spiritual energy is excessive. The trial will be stopped, and all fees will be refunded. Everyone can disperse!"

  This remark caused a stir, but the foundation of the peak let out a cold hum, and the whole scene fell silent.

  Chen Yuan remained silent and waited until a large group of monks left before he also followed them out.
