Annual talent recruitment

Rain quietly fell on sun city,as It brought a gentle breeze along with it.

Jian Feng was standing near the window letting water drops hit his young body.

"This past month of cultivation has yielded satisfying results, I have already broken through to the meridian strengthening ream, and also reached the 1st level blood body arts.having a superior grade spirit sure helps."

"In my previous life at this time I was probably finding it difficult to find a decent meal"

Jian Feng compared his progress to his previous life. He could only sigh.

"Now that I have passable strength it's time to execute the plan" Jian Feng got ready to go out.

The streets of the Sun city we're pretty bustling, It was to be expected as Sun city had one of the most influential merchant family in the 13th Azure state the Jia family.The Jia family in sun City was only a branch family of the main Jia family in the 1st Azure state.1st azure state was the capital city of the Azure star kingdom.

Right now what Jian Feng lacked was spirit treasures,pills for spirit cultivation.He also didn't have source of income and good source of information. This were all necessary things that he needed.

He needed to get stronger quickly as there we're people who would come to capture him sooner or later,His enemies were none other than the Liu clan and his own kin the Jian clan.

The Liu family we're currently busy as they had recently lost 3 extremity realm elders, this made the other elders in the clan worried, the 3 elders who died had their own respective duties of the clan, filling those position would take time and they also had to investigate the culprits,and while the Liu clan suffered such a blow would the other forces keep quiet,isn't this golden chance for them to suppress the Liu clan.Even though losing 3 extremity realm was blow, it was not enough to shake their foundation.After some time when they would have settled their matters they would come after Jian Feng after all said and done ' Jian Feng' was a perverted bastard who defiled Liu clan miss, if they don't execute him in front of the world, where would their reputation go. After all for a righteous clan their reputation was important.

As for the Jian clan, even though they are ignorant of the situation that took place,The Liu clan might suspect them and come to investigate them at that time Jian clan would have to cooperate with them and also assist them in finding the culprits.

Jian Feng was in a deep green robe,with his hair untied reaching is shoulder,His face filled with indifference.Even though he wasn't handsome, his demeanor had a devilish charm to it.

He first went to a local weapon shop,He looked around for a bit checking different weapons before buying good quality sword, even though it wasn't a spirit treasure it was made of high quality ore.His funds decreased,He only had 1300spirit coins remaining.

He then went to register for the jia family's annual talent search competition.This was the first step of his plan.

The jia family held this competition to select talents.Jia family was a merchant family their main focus would be on Business,The members of the jia family would not have much battle strength or battle experience as they most of the time would be managing their business.Hence they would recruit new talents each year and nurture them,and put efforts to make these people loyal to the Jia family.After all doing business needs strength, without strength wouldn't outsiders rob them.

The registration was held for 6 days, today was the 3rd day,Any one below the age of 18 could join to participate but only the top 20 would be recruited.

When Jian Feng reached the registration site there was small line consisting of 16-17 participants already.He didn't join the line instead he went towards a secluded ally, reaching there he first used his investigative methods checked his surroundings, after his recent progression in cultivation and that devil arts his spirit had also gotten stronger it's investigative range and quality of investigation was raised.perviously he could sense about 100feet now it was approximately 160feet.

Seeing that no one was around him he used his shadow hiding ability. He was now shrouded in black aura only his pitch black abyssal eyes could be seen.He moved quickly and came to a large tree near the registration site,before climbing it stealthily.He hid in the tree and continued watch these youths as they registerd.

Time continued to pass, as 6hours had already passed,the 3rd day of registration ended just like that.

Jian Feng who was hidden in the tree muttered "looks like I'll have to come back tomorrow again"

The black shadow hidden in the tree disappeared in the Darkness of the night.

Jian Feng returned to his room and began cultivating again.He only slept 4hours a day, because he was still a mortal he needed to sleep at least that much so that his body and soul can be in a optimum state.
