These words made Shen Han feel somewhat aligned with what he had in mind.
Qi Yingguang and the others might dismiss the Pills, indifferent to them.
But these Pills can’t be entirely useless.
This Pill is exquisitely crafted, even as a collector’s item, it would have considerable value.
This Meng Dong in front of him speaking like this, at least made Shen Han feel he was somewhat reliable.
The two walked forward together.
Meng Dong was originally from Shanyuan City, and this return was akin to a homecoming visit.
At the same time, Meng Dong was quite straightforward in his speech.
His sect had also instructed him to see if he could recruit some disciples.
Although Great Wei and Divine Land were considered remote places, they too had so many people.
Among them, there certainly were many talented disciples.
"The Southern Heaven Continent doesn’t discriminate against us who come from the Outer Domain."
"Brother Shen, rest assured about this; the Southern Heaven Continent has many Outer Domains just like yours.
The sect is full of people from the Outer Domain.
For us, this is quite normal.
There have already been many exceptionally talented individuals coming from your side.
No one cares about one’s background."
Hearing this, Shen Han couldn’t help but ask another question.
"The talents Brother Meng mentioned from our side, who might they be?
Could you tell me?"
"There’s nothing inconvenient about that. If Brother Shen intends to go to the sect with me, you’ll probably hear people talking about them that very day.
The most renowned is Senior Brother Qianmu Fan.
It’s said that Senior Brother Qianmu Fan came from your side.
It seems he entered the sect only nine months ago and was already accepted as a Direct Disciple.
Now, his strength has reached the tenth level of the Binding Realm.
Moreover, among the twelve bindings on him, seven have already been broken!
Within the sect, he is incredibly famous; countless people praise and follow him."
Mentioning Qianmu Fan, a glint of envy appeared in Meng Dong’s eyes.
Aside from envy, there was a lot of respect.
Be it in Great Wei, Divine Land, or the Southern Heaven Continent.
Cultivation always hinges on one’s talent.
"I’ve heard it said that Senior Brother Qianmu Fan will likely enter the Grotto Heaven Realm within this year.
For many years, we have been stuck in the Binding Realm, yet Senior Brother Qianmu has managed to progress to the Grotto Heaven Realm in just over a year..."
On Meng Dong’s face, that envious look seemed almost about to overflow.
Regarding the Pure Body Realm and the Binding Realm he mentioned.
Shen Han didn’t know much about it, but seeing him bring it up, it seemed cultivation here wasn’t that easy either.
"Is this Qianmu Fan skilled at the Chess Path and likes carrying a folding fan?"
Hearing Shen Han say this, Meng Dong was momentarily stunned: "Brother Shen, do you know Senior Brother Qianmu?"
"No wonder, earlier in the city, I noticed Brother Shen’s extraordinary demeanor.
It makes sense now, being acquainted with Senior Brother Qianmu, how could your talent and strength be weak?"
Just from hearing Shen Han mention Qianmu Fan, Meng Dong’s tone changed.
Earlier he spoke politely, but now, there was a hint of flattery in his politeness.
He likely wanted to meet Qianmu Fan through Shen Han.
Upon hearing this, a wry smile appeared on Shen Han’s face.
"I know the name, but trying to connect might be hopeless."
Hearing this, the excitement on Meng Dong’s face seemed to dissipate a lot.
"Merely knowing Senior Brother Qianmu is already quite fortunate enough.
A Direct Disciple like Senior Brother Qianmu, just a small gesture would improve our lives significantly."
After knowing Shen Han was acquainted with Qianmu Fan, the topic kept drifting back to Qianmu Fan with Meng Dong.
Between words, it seemed without Qianmu Fan, he wouldn’t know what to say.
Regarding matters of Qianmu Fan, even the earlier point Shen Han mentioned, about his expertise in the Chess Path.
Meng Dong inquired in detail.
Confirming that Qianmu Fan liked the Chess Path, he might have been thinking of giving a gift.
In words, Shen Han lacked much interest in talking about Qianmu Fan with him.
He had once faced off with Qianmu Fan.
And in that confrontation, Qianmu Fan ended up utterly humiliated.
At the behest of Shen Ye, he attempted to harm him.
Yet unexpectedly, he was the one who lost face completely.
He was originally a descendant of the secluded Qianmu Family; after such humiliation, for a long time, Shen Han hadn’t heard his news.
Unexpectedly today, he’d hear his name again here.
He and Qianmu Fan had no particular friendship; one might even say there was some resentment in the past.
Noticing Shen Han’s lack of enthusiasm, Meng Dong hesitated and his expression turned slightly serious.
"Brother Shen, I feel you seem indifferent towards Senior Brother Qianmu; perhaps he wasn’t impressive enough back then?"
Pausing momentarily, Meng Dong continued without waiting for Shen Han’s reply.
"Regardless of Senior Brother Qianmu’s status and stature in your place.
As of now, he is a Direct Disciple of our Five Immortals City.
Brother Shen, we Five Immortals Tower have disciples like a vast sea, but Direct Disciples are but a hundred.
Having once known Senior Brother Qianmu is a rare happenstance, you must cherish it."
From Meng Dong’s personal perspective, he believed he had said enough.
All he wanted to express, he had.
Moreover, every word he spoke, sincerely came from his heart.
Shen Han quite wished to have an acquaintance like that.
As long as these direct disciples said a few good words, he might get a really good job.
He wouldn’t need to toil arduously, rushing around anymore.
The two walked some distance and arrived at a gathering point.
It seemed somewhat like simple dwellings set up by shepherds.
There were quite a few people waiting here at the gathering place.
After some conversation, Shen Han understood.
These people were those Meng Dong intended to recommend to the sect.
For Meng Dong, if a genius emerged among those he recommended, the benefits would be immeasurable.
This kind of recognition and introduction is a favor that doesn’t require words.
Compared to cultivating on his own, receiving benefits this way was much easier.
After sending Shen Han there, Meng Dong went back again to see if there were any others.
He wished to recommend several people at once to go to Five Immortals City.
Finding a place to sit down, Shen Han now understood.
Previously, when conversing with Meng Dong, he always felt Meng Dong was a very utilitarian person.
He didn’t seem like someone who would voluntarily expend effort to help others.
Now it seemed that he just wanted to gain the benefits of introducing others.
After Meng Dong left, the people present engaged in casual chatting.
Among them were several people from Yan Country, and three from small countries neighboring Great Wei.
Meeting here, they did not bring up any issues of national rivalry.
In their conversations, Shen Han also gained some understanding of this Meng Dong.
Meng Dong was a disciple of Five Immortals City, which was a rather powerful sect.
The sect’s name included the word "City."
And this sect was literally a city.
The people from Yan Country seemed to have some knowledge of Five Immortals City.
Previously, people from Yan Country had already come and entered Five Immortals City through Meng Dong’s recommendation.
Although Meng Dong was also profit-driven, at least he didn’t deceive people.
Moreover, he sincerely hoped the disciples he recommended would rise to prominence.
In the future, they could even protect him.
Those present had a decent evaluation of Meng Dong.
Seeking benefits was acceptable, but deceiving everyone was not.
To those present, unfamiliar with the place and everyone, having someone willing to speak some truth was already appreciated.
The individuals from Yan Country had some understanding of Five Immortals City.
They were quite talkative.
Five Immortals City had five giant tall buildings.
Among them, Thick Earth Tower, Xiegu Tower, and Qinghe Tower were known as the outer towers.
Phoenix Tail Tower and Cang Building were the main towers of Five Immortals City.
If a disciple joined Five Immortals City and was noticed by the main buildings, their future would be more illustrious.
But most people could only stay in the outer sect’s lesser towers.
During their sharing, they also discussed the local cultivation system.
Those from the nearby small countries received information that was all hearsay.
They believed that upon coming to the Southern Heaven Continent, they could easily reach the Immortal Realm.
Upon returning, they would be people of high status.
But arriving here, before even reaching Five Immortals City, they were hit with cold reality.
The three from Yan Country told them.
The cultivation system here still demands high talent and potential from individuals, with even greater disparities.
Those with insufficient talent may find it difficult to advance even after several years.
While those with remarkable talent could reach Immortal Realm level strength in three to five years.
It was not as they had heard, where reaching the Immortal Realm was easy.
Of course, as long as one’s talent wasn’t too poor, after decades of cultivation, reaching about Sixth Grade strength was still possible.
Hearing about Sixth Grade strength, the people from the small countries weren’t so disheartened.
Though Sixth Grade was far from the Immortal Realm, it was much better compared to their current strength.
At their level, in Great Wei’s cultivation system.
They would spend their lives wavering between Eighth and Ninth Grade.
After waiting for about three two-hours, dusk had already fallen.
It was at this time that Meng Dong returned.
From the moment he first saw Meng Dong, Shen Han could clearly feel his strength.
About Seventh Grade First Snow Realm strength.
The cultivation system here seemed to always let one’s strength be externally manifest.
Unlike Great Wei’s approach, which focused on cultivating the self and elevating one’s mental state.
This journey didn’t bring back any more people.
Counting Shen Han, there were only seven people in total.
Perhaps Meng Dong feared that further delay would make the people resentful.
He then took out a flying magical artifact, and everyone boarded it, heading northwest.
According to Meng Dong, the journey would take four to five days.
From the magical artifact, everyone gazed into the distance.
The time being long, any questions they had, they asked while on the flying magical artifact.
Shen Han also gained some understanding of the Southern Heaven Continent.
Compared to Divine Land and Great Wei, this Southern Heaven Continent was much more vast.
The distance between two major cities could take at least half a month to traverse.
It’s common for a single journey to take a month or a month and a half.
This span could connect the entirety of Great Wei.
