The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 945 Even without powerful backers, you can still be bullied.

Should one recruit many disciples, and the stronger the disciples, the better?

He never takes on apprentices, but he's doing so now, and he doesn't discriminate between the unapproachable and the unapproachable; he'll take anyone who comes.
Is it a coincidence?
Or is there another purpose?

When you suspect someone, all their actions become suspicious.

But since he's stumbled upon a recruitment drive for disciples, why not go in and investigate to see if the Three Ghosts Gate is truly the culprit behind the Kongyuan City massacre?

Lin Chen had originally planned to pretend to be a cultivator with low strength, but now he stopped pretending and put the flying sword back into his space.

Aside from a Void Transformation expert who is said to be in seclusion, two or three Nascent Soul cultivators, the Three Ghosts Sect consists of Nascent Soul cultivators. Since I am joining the Three Ghosts Sect with Nascent Soul strength, I should be able to receive more attention and have a better chance of contacting the higher-ups.

The middle-aged man in front of him spoke at length, and finally said, "Those who want to join the Three Ghosts Sect, you can line up now."

Long queues immediately formed at the scene. After all, the Three Ghosts Sect was a well-known alchemy sect, and it also had a Void Realm expert in charge. Although its strength was far inferior to those top sects, it was still quite powerful.

Sects typically don't accept rogue cultivators into their ranks, as the sense of belonging isn't as strong as that of training ordinary people, so such opportunities are rare.

Once you join the Three Ghosts Sect, you will no longer be a wandering ghost, but will have a sect to rely on.

Lin Chen stood in line quietly, having already prepared his false identity in his mind.

Lin Chen observed that the Three Ghosts Sect's recruitment process was very loose. They would ask for names, backgrounds, and confirm strength, and then register the applicants, thus completing the entry review.

100% pass rate!

Lin Chen became increasingly puzzled. Were sects so lenient in accepting disciples? Did they accept anyone, no matter who they were?
has a problem!
Soon it was Lin Chen's turn. Lin Chen answered crisply, "Rogue cultivator, Lin Chu, Nascent Soul Great Perfection."

The people around immediately cast strange glances at him. After all, a Nascent Soul cultivator at the Great Perfection stage was already a very powerful expert in the cultivation world. Did such a person still need to join a sect?

The middle-aged man registering the registration had a hint of surprise in his eyes: "You're quite strong. Why did you join the Three Ghosts Sect?"

Lin Chen replied, "Without a sect or a backer, even a Nascent Soul cultivator at the Great Perfection stage will be bullied everywhere. Moreover, the higher one climbs, the more cultivation resources one needs. I hope to join the Three Ghosts Sect, firstly because I will have a sect to rely on, and secondly because I want to learn the art of alchemy, so that I can avoid many detours in the future."

Lin Chen's words made perfect sense, and the middle-aged man nodded, asking, "Where are you from?"

Lin Chen replied, "My hometown is Fierce Lion City, but I have always been wandering around cultivating, without a fixed place to live."

Lin Chen had a beast-taming pouch, so he gave the name of Fierce Lion City, which made everything seem more reasonable.

The middle-aged man wrote it down and casually asked, "Who else is in your family? Are there any other cultivators?" Lin Chen replied, "No, it's just me."

The middle-aged man nodded, took out a waist token and handed it to Lin Chen: "Alright, here is the waist token. You wait here for a while, and someone will take you into the sect later."

"Thank you!"

Lin Chen took his waist tag and walked over to the group of people who had passed the verification earlier. As soon as he walked over, a young man greeted him warmly: "Brother, hello! My name is Zhang Lin. We'll be fellow disciples from now on. Please take care of me."

Lin Chen smiled and nodded: "Lin Chu, let's look after each other."

Zhang Lin looked at him with admiration and said, "Brother Lin, you look so young, and you've already reached the Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul stage. That's amazing! I have mediocre talent, and after decades of cultivation, I'm only at the Great Perfection of the Foundation Establishment stage. I haven't even reached the Golden Core stage yet..."

Since he had nothing better to do, Lin Chen casually struck up a conversation: "How did you guys find out that you're hiring here?"

Zhang Lin replied, "The Three Ghosts Sect has issued notices in many nearby cities, and many people have rushed over. Today is only the first day, and there are probably more to come."

Lin Chen asked, "How many people do they plan to recruit?"

Zhang Lin shook his head: "I heard there's no limit to the number of people to be recruited; as long as they meet the requirements, they'll all be accepted."

Lin Chen laughed and said, "Recruiting so many disciples at once will greatly increase the sect's strength."

Zhang Lin said expectantly, "From today onwards, we are also disciples of the Three Ghosts Sect. The sect's strength has greatly increased, which is a good thing for us, but..."

Zhang Lin was speaking when he suddenly stopped talking.

Lin Chen stared at Zhang Lin: "But what?"

Zhang Lin hesitated for a moment, perhaps wanting to cultivate a good relationship with Lin Chen, a Nascent Soul cultivator at the Great Perfection stage, before finally lowering his voice and saying, "I see that many of these disciples who have joined the sect are of questionable character, and some have even committed numerous murders. I feel that the sect may not be peaceful in the future..."

Lin Chen's eyes flickered slightly: "How did you know?"

“My home is in the nearby Giantfire City. Many people here are also from Giantfire City. We are all part of the same cultivation circle in the city, and we all know each other to some extent.”

Zhang Lin gestured with his chin towards a middle-aged man with a fierce face in the distance and whispered, "That man is called Zhao Tiedan. Just because someone offended him with their words, he slaughtered an entire family of over a hundred people. He's no saint..."

Lin Chen glanced at Zhao Tiedan over there, his doubts growing deeper. They accept all sorts of trash, are they really just trying to recruit disciples?
