Starting As A Sect Leader: My Rules Are Bit Wild.

However, the more excited the five elders were at this moment, the more despair they would feel later.

Because Lin Fan was serious!

He was determined to carry out his rules to the end.

Testing talent?

Sorry, no testing!

He even directly had the Fourth Elder Chen Erzhu move away the talent stone tablet.

What made them most despair was that even if they saw some seedlings with good talent, and even a few whose talent was comparable to Lin Fan’s, who after growing up could be considered “backbone strength” in the Embracing Moon Sect, Lin Fan said he wouldn’t accept them!

Even if they hinted, or even expressed their willingness to accept them as close disciples, Lin Fan disagreed.

They were so anxious they were hopping mad.

They were really anxious.

How many years had it been since the Embracing Moon Sect had been so lively? It was also the first time in nearly a hundred years that so many people had come to visit the mountain. The large number of people meant a large base, which resulted in some pretty good talents.

As a result, he really wouldn’t accept them?!

Seeing that they couldn’t help but speak, Lin Fan whispered: “Elders, we agreed, since you let me be this sect master, then let me be in charge!”

“If something goes wrong, I will take the blame, the full blame!”

“At this juncture, please don’t hold me back.”

“The people you have taken a liking to can be temporarily observed. If no disciples who meet the new rules are received later, you can naturally recruit them.”

“But if there are those who meet the conditions…”

“He alone is enough!”

Lin Fan’s eyes shone brightly.

If he could really get a disciple with a protagonist template, would he still need to accept other disciples? Wasn’t that wasting resources? The Embracing Moon Sect was already poor!

Hearing this, the elders could only nod and endure.

Seeing more and more people arriving at the square and becoming more and more noisy, Lin Fan coughed lightly: “Fifth Elder, please help keep order.”

“Easy to say.”

Duan Qingyao nodded lightly.

“Enough.”

Boom!

The light tone reverberated throughout the entire spiritual mountain.

The ordinary people who came to visit the mountain were immediately dizzy and disoriented, and they dared not make any more noise.

The gazes they looked at them with were also full of fear and worship.

“Is this an immortal?”

“So powerful!”

“I must enter the immortal gate.”

At this moment, they secretly vowed in their hearts.

At this moment, Lin Fan looked at the Great Elder and nodded lightly.

The latter stepped forward and said loudly: “This is our sect’s sect master!”

“The sect master has a benevolent heart and is willing to give all living beings a glimmer of hope. Therefore, starting this year, our sect’s recruitment of disciples will no longer only look at talent, but at fate!”

“Those who have fate, even if they have no talent at all, can enter our sect to cultivate.”

“Those who have no fate, even if they have extraordinary talent, our sect will not accept.”

“This news, perhaps some people know, some people do not know. At this moment, I need to make it clear to you.”

“Therefore, this year’s assessment is also different from ordinary assessments.”

“You need to stay in the square for three days. After three days, there will be a result.”

“During this period, eating, drinking, and bathroom breaks will be taken care of by our sect.”

“Have you understood?”

Boom.

There was a commotion among the crowd.

Everyone was shocked.

“It’s true!”

“Then, then I also have a chance to enter the immortal gate?”

“Quiet, be careful of angering the immortals.”

“…”

Seeing this, the Great Elder continued: “During this period, you can move freely and also talk. As for how to identify those with fate, you don’t need to worry about it.”

“We will naturally decide.”

“Yes, Immortal Lord.”

The crowd was noisy. Some were responding, and some were excitedly talking nonsense.

At this time, the Second Elder stepped forward: “Those with the surnames Xiao, Ye, Shi, or Lin, take a step forward.”

The crowd was stunned, but then they reacted. More than ten of them quickly stepped forward.

The elders smiled bitterly to themselves.

According to the rules set by the sect master, these surnames must be given priority, but now, they couldn’t accept so many.

However, priority didn’t necessarily mean they had to be accepted, right?

Then they said again: “Those who have survived near-death experiences more than three times and whose fiancée is mysterious, take a step forward.”

The crowd quieted down, but no one stepped forward.

“Those who have been rejected for marriage, whose parents have mysteriously disappeared, those who were once talented but were accidentally crippled, take a step forward.”

Still no one stepped forward.

Obviously, no one met the conditions.

But these questions made them confused.

Just as they were about to ask, they heard Wu Xingyun say again: “Alright, do as you please.”

Everyone: “…?!”

Okay, no follow-up?

They were puzzled, but they still had expectations.

Some people found it difficult to remain calm, some were trying their best to restrain themselves, some were deliberately performing, wanting to earn some brownie points.

All aspects of life were on full display.

The Great Elder waved his hand and set up a soundproofing barrier. Looking at the bustling crowd, he sighed with emotion: “I have never observed so closely at such a close distance before. The various aspects of life are truly…”

“Somewhat unbearable to look at,” Duan Qingyao sighed: “I originally took a liking to two disciples with good talent, but their character is really a bit…”

She didn’t want to accept the disciples she originally wanted to accept anymore.

Talent was important, but if their character was not good, it might not be a good thing to enter the sect.

Lin Fan didn’t say anything, but he was paying attention to the dozen or so people with the “four major surnames.”

He thought to himself: “Sure enough, there are too few protagonist templates. Among a mere ten thousand people, wanting to find a protagonist template is like buying a lottery ticket.”

“I hope they can give me some surprises.”

Time passed…

No one showed impatience.

In the afternoon, “cooing” sounds were heard endlessly.

Seeing this, Lin Fan said softly: “Please, which elder would make a trip to hunt a few demon beasts and bring them back, distribute some meat to them. We promised to take care of their food for these three days, so we can’t go back on our word.”

“Eating some demon beast meat can also improve their physical fitness a bit, so they won’t have come for nothing.”

“I’ll go.” The Third Elder Li Changshou immediately took off, turning into a stream of light and flying away, causing bursts of exclamations.

…

At the same time.

The high-level figures of the Peach Blossom Sect, the Five Elements Sect, and other surrounding sects were all frowning.

“Why has the number of mountain-visiting disciples decreased significantly this year?”

“I don’t know?”

“Investigate it for me!!!”

Soon, they found the reason.

“The Embracing Moon Sect wrote slogans all over the foot of our mountains, ‘Not looking at talent, only at fate’?!”

“How dare they, they even dare to steal our people.”

“I think they are desperate!”

“Should we take action and teach them a lesson?!”

“Hmph, let them have a few days of happy life for now. When this batch of new disciples gradually adapts, we’ll bring them to their door so they can learn a lesson. Not any Tom, Dick, or Harry can be called a sect.”

“Also, after that, we’ll give them a few days off and let them return to their hometowns to promote the power of our sect. Naturally, more disciples will come next year.”

“Wonderful~!”

Many sects were very unhappy.

You were stealing their peaches, and right at their doorstep. Who could be happy about that?

However, at this juncture, they were unwilling to start a big war. They all decided to deal with the Embracing Moon Sect after they were done with this period.

On the Embracing Moon Sect’s side, campfires had already been lit, and huge demon beasts were being roasted, making sizzling sounds. The fragrant smell wafted through the air, making everyone lose the desire to speak, with ‘saliva’ constantly flowing from the corners of their mouths…
