"This crystal will be the first test, and this bracelet is the second, I will explain the function of the crystal first.

This crystal orb is a talent foreseeing artifact, it has a single function, and that is to see the talent of a person, there are currently three lights within the crystal, green means average talent, red means, above average, and blue means a talented person.

This bracelet now is also an artifact, I call this 'Oath Sealing Bracelet', so soon as you take an oath, you will have to follow it to the end of your vow.

How should I put this... As soon as you break your oath, your cultivation will immediately be crippled, and it will immediately alarm me, making me feel a slight tinge in my arm."

Mo Xie explained lightly, actually, the crystal orb is something he had inscripted himself, with a paper and some seals, he made it enter the crystal orb to form a mortal grade artifact, the same as what he had done with the bracelet, the function of detecting talent is a lie too, all it does is tell if a person will die within a hundred years, and red signifies 20 years to death, while green means safe, the blue means that he has a chance to break through to mortality.

As a Mortal, Mo Xie can only use the power of chant and papers, the ones he had been using on papers were all of a mortal grade, chanting and focusing solely on the weapon will bless it power depending on the type of chant that he had used.

Hearing Mo Xie's words, all of them nodded, whether it is true or fake, they will know in a matter of time.

"Now, first would be the Elders, one by one to the orb."

Mo Xie spoke as he looked at the men at the age of 40 to 50, one of them nodded as he went first.

_Zwong~_ The crystals...o...b..immediately lit up a light blue color.

"Oh, blue instantly? that is a good start."

Mo Xie praised, the reason he took people of 10-star gold ranked pract.i.tioner under 50 years of age is, if they had pa.s.sed the age of 51, their cultivation will be halted if they had not step into the black gold rank, even he, Mo Xie, wouldn't be able to do anything about it.

"Next!"

One by one, the elders started to place their hands on the orb, after one finishes, they took the sacred oath of loyalty to the Mo Family and its Clan.

After just fifteen minutes, all Elders had placed their vows and stood behind Mo Xie.

"Not bad, four blue and six green, good, good, good."

For a low-level World, Mo Xie felt extremely satisfied to have people as such.

"Next, for my Clan's inner court disciples!"

One by one, they started to form a line and prepared to touch the crystal, evidently, they were still skeptical about it, who would want to join a clan right?

Another fifteen minutes had pa.s.sed, there are already 50 silver ranked pract.i.tioners that had pa.s.sed, and out of nowhere, something happened.

"Graaa!"

An extremely loud scream echoed to the whole place, everyone looked at the location where the oath pledging is taking place, someone is rolling on the ground while clutching his arm that is wearing the bracelet.

The emerald embedded on it is s.h.i.+ning as a red light can be seen glowing at the bracelet itself.

Mo Xie smirked as he spoke: "I've already warned you, I guess, that is the faith of people that take my words lightly."

"You... No! My cultivation!" The pract.i.tioner pointed at Mo Xie as he wailed, his cultivation had been crippled.

Mo Xie smiled as he replied: "I've already warned once, If you do not take this seriously, you will pay the price."

After speaking, Mo Xie tossed a bag to the pract.i.tioner.

_Clang! Clang!_

Inside the bag contains ten gold coins.

"You should live your life peacefully now."

Mo Xie's tone contained neither arrogance nor kindness, only straightforward words were voiced out of his mouth.

The pract.i.tioner picked up the bag as he glared at Mo Xie and departed.

Seeing this, a few others followed, they were actually spies sent by the middle and high ranking clans, wanting to check what kind of clan wants to establish in the Gangting City.

After a few minutes of silence, the recruitment proceeded smoothly, the bronze ranked pract.i.tioners also started to line up after the silver ranked pract.i.tioners were done.

After an hour, everything had been finished, ten 10-star gold ranked Elders, 87 Silver ranked pract.i.tioners, and 215 bronze ranked pract.i.tioners were recruited.

Mo Xie closed the gates as he led all of them in a vacant lot.

"Everyone, This is the last test, you still have a chance to back out and quit, I want every single one of you to disperse your cultivations, now."

"This..."

"WhWhat is this? Then what will we have?"

"Naturally, you all will study a single art, and that is the Mo Family's art." Mo Xie chuckles as he replied in a calm manner.

Of course, who wouldn't hesitate? especially the elders, they had studied and cultivated their cultivation arts since the beginning, if they disperse it, they will have nothing but mere power without any form!

Seeing their reaction, Mo Xie only smiled.

One of the 10-star gold ranked pract.i.tioner caught sight of Mo Xie's smile, he had already experienced talking with a lot of people, but the one Mo Xie had expressed is something that is of no mockery nor playing, it is merely a face that wants to see who will comply.

'I will gamble... I will gamble...' That pract.i.tioner spoke as he stepped forward.

"Master, this Elder shall be the first to do your bidding." The 10-star gold rank pract.i.tioner spoke as he made a hand seal and pointed his fingers below the heart.

The place below the heart is where the soul sea, or the art which the pract.i.tioner trains in is placed, once it is dispersed, it will immediately collapse, going back to a state of formlessness.

_Swoos.h.!.+_

A light wind seemed to have pa.s.sed as the 10-star gold ranked pract.i.tioner dispersed his cultivation art.

"Very good, is there no one else? If there is n.o.body that wants to follow, you are all free to leave." Mo Xie casually spoke and waved his hand.

Three 10-star gold ranked pract.i.tioners looked at Mo Xie as one of them asked.

"Master, if we leave, will there be a chance to join again in the future?"

Mo Xie looked at the old man as he chuckles and replied: "Haha, of course, but the position that time will be different, as at that time, you will no longer be needed in my Clan, but you can still try to become an outer sect disciple."

Hearing his words, everyone felt shocked, they wanted to leave at first, and if they see that they had made an error, they would try to join again, but with what Mo Xie had stated, they hesitated yet again.

All of them were practically lone cultivators, gold ranked pract.i.tioners that had no more chance of breaking through without proper resources, they couldn't join big Clans, and being accepted in a minor clan would be useless too.

Mo Xie had already hinted them, as soon as they go back, they would no longer be of use to the Clan, which, ultimately means one thing, the ones they had this day will be stronger than before or even broke through!

But who could believe such words coming from a newly established clan?

All of them then looked at the first person that dispersed his cultivation art, they can see that he is regretting his action, but is also looking forward to what will happen next!

Mo Xie then looked at the first one that had dispersed his cultivation and spoke.

"Your name is?"

"Master, my name is Luo... Mo Wuhan."

Mo Xie nodded and spoke: "You will be the Grand Elder starting from now, my first order for you is to go to the City Lord's mansion and take down the recruitment notice, also remove the ones in the gate."

Wuhan nodded and replied: "Yes, Master."

After he spoke, he walks backward and departed immediately.

Mo Xie looked at them as he spoke again: "No matter how many I recruit today, I am satisfied with that, I will give you an hour's time to decide."

After speaking, Mo Xie immediately walks back to his mansion.

Seeing Mo Xie's figure gone as he entered the mansion, everyone looked at each other.

One of them then spoke: "No matter what... the Art I had practice had been with me since I started... I don't really know what to do..."

Another one replied: "Yes, but as a lone pract.i.tioner, you all know tha consequences, we have no resources, and no background to a.s.sist us in breaking through..."

Immediately, everyone started to murmur, they all are hesitant, what will be the outcome if they did so? will they be able to become strong again?
