A prodigal son of a sect rises to power by blowing up the sect's gate!

The five people then left.

"Walk."

Lu Yu couldn't wait to pull Xiao Cui outside.

Only when we arrived outside the hall could we see it clearly.

Among this dense crowd of beggars, the youngest was only four or five years old, completely inconspicuous in the crowd.

Lu Yu raised his hand and nodded roughly, which was nearly seventy or eighty beggars.

"Young master, they are so pitiful."

Xiao Cui tugged at Lu Yu's arm.

These little beggars, with their disheveled hair, tattered clothes, and those eyes, really made people feel inexplicably sad.

Lu Yu then activated his Insightful Eyes, his gaze sweeping over each of the beggars.

Natural talent.

It is the initial standard for judging disciples!

This was especially true for Lu Yu, as it also concerned the system's mission.

And then Lu Yu scrutinized him.

The older children at the front of the beggars stepped forward and blocked Lu Yu's path.

Those small eyes held a hint of timidity and unease.

Yet there was also a hint of feigned ferocity and wariness.

Lu Yu remained silent.

With just a slight press of his hand, he forced these troublemakers to the ground.

And once this action was taken...

"Wow!"

Some four- or five-year-old beggars immediately frightened Tao Tao into crying.

The slightly older one bit her lip, her eyes clearly red with fear.

"Hey!"

Lu Yu felt a pang of sadness as he watched this scene unfold.

But more importantly...

Lu Yu glanced at them one by one, but his gaze would only linger for a few moments before moving on.

Occasionally, he would see something that caught his eye and linger for a moment.

In a blink of an eye.

Half an hour passed.

Lu Yu slowly withdrew his gaze.

Unexpectedly, among these little beggars, there were as many as sixteen or seventeen who were exceptionally talented.

"I found a treasure."

Lu Yu smiled broadly, but he wasn't too surprised.

After all, in the world of cultivation, opportunity is far more important than talent.

This place is rich in spiritual energy, and as long as one has the right techniques, almost everyone can embark on the path of cultivation from birth.

But what really matters is opportunity.

For example, seasoned veterans like Xu Dashan are only in their early forties.

He was lucky enough to run into an elder who took him back to the sect, which allowed him to slack off for half his life.

Let's look at the system tasks next.

The threshold for talent is 70 points.

All they want is a slightly outstanding person among ordinary people.

So he could roughly guess that out of nearly a hundred beggars, a dozen or so would be able to stand out.

of course.

As I always say, opportunity is far more important than anything else.

This applies to people as well.

This is especially true for sects.

For most sects, exceptionally talented disciples are not the primary consideration.

On the one hand, the sect has to consider whether it can afford the cultivation investment of these disciples, especially the subsequent training, which almost entirely relies on the accumulation of massive resources.

Therefore, the quantity must be controlled.

The recruited disciples are encouraged to maximize their talents, and resources are concentrated on the most talented individuals.

At the same time, it also lowers the bar. For example, sects like the Great Mountain Sect often have a large number of disciples with mediocre talent.

On the one hand, geniuses need to be highlighted.

On the other hand, the development of the sect always involves some trivial matters that need to be handled by disciples who are not talented enough.

For example, the former Lieyang Sect arranged for its disciples to search for medicinal herbs in various places, cultivate medicinal fields within the sect, go out to dig for spirit stones, and go down the mountain to treat the sick and save lives, etc.

These things are not only mentally and physically demanding, but letting them do them can also bring a good reputation to the sect.

Therefore, in Lu Yu's eyes at this moment, these beggars were perfect.

With the system in place, he wasn't worried that the sect couldn't handle the dozen or so exceptionally talented individuals; the more the merrier.

The rest were of average talent.

Looking at the bigger picture, these are all indispensable parts of the sect's future, maintaining the operation of the entire sect.

There's just one point.

"These children are only a few years old. I'll have to support them for several more years until they can work."

Lu Yu's eyes held a complex expression.

Clearly, the thought of leaving so many dolls behind was giving him a headache!

It's not that he's truly driven by profit and doesn't care about these untalented children.

Instead, he was thinking about how to take care of this group of teenagers in the future, which made him feel at a loss.

"you……"

Lu Yu snapped out of his thoughts.

Just as I was about to speak, I noticed Zixia walking in from not far away, holding Nini's hand.

Seeing so many little beggars, Zixia also seemed hesitant to do anything.

After all, both she and Lu Yu were only in their early twenties.

Think again and again.

Lu Yu seemed to have made a decision, and looked at the little beggars.

I don't know.

The little beggars stopped crying as soon as they heard Lu Yu speak.

It was precisely this synchronized movement that made Lu Yu choke on his words.

For these little beggars, crying is an instinct at their age.

But as his gaze swept over them, they all stopped crying.

Looking at those timid eyes and huddled figures, it was clear they had suffered repeated beatings.

"Hiss... How are we supposed to get rid of them now?"

Lu Yu took a deep breath, then thought of Xu Dashan, "Damn it, I praised him too early. Xu Dashan and his ilk are just unreliable when it comes to getting things done."

Lu Yu cursed under his breath a few times before looking at the little beggars.

He pondered for a long time before finally sighing and speaking.

"Are you willing to stay in the Blazing Sun Sect?"

After asking the question, Lu Yu didn't wait for the beggars to answer and spoke as if to himself.

"As long as you stay, you'll have plenty of food, new clothes, and a bed of your own. You won't have to suffer from hunger and cold outside, nor will you have to worry about not having a place to stay."

"Although no one will take care of you, from now on, the Blazing Sun Sect will be your home."

Hearing this, the older beggars nearby instinctively showed deep distrust in their eyes.

Can be biased.

Each of them revealed a look of longing, which they could not hide despite their best efforts to restrain themselves.

Lu Yu understood those looks and shook his head slightly.

"Xu Dashan, Xu Dashan, where did you find so many pitiful people?"

Lu Yu sighed and said no more.

A wisp of true essence materialized and hung horizontally in the air.

"Most importantly, become my disciple and embark on the path to immortality."

After saying that, Lu Yu turned and walked into the main hall.

Xiao Cui looked at the little beggars with heartache and followed Lu Yu away step by step.

Once we returned to the main hall of the sect...

"Damn!"

Lu Yu slapped his forehead and sat down in the chair, puffing out his cheeks in anger.

After Zixia led Nini in.

"Where are the little ones outside?"

Lu Yu raised his head and asked Zixia in a somewhat annoyed tone.

Zixia frowned slightly upon hearing this; she could understand Lu Yu's feelings at this moment.

"They've all run up to the mountainside in large groups, and not a single one has left. Our Lieyang Sect is going to get quite lively from now on."

Zixia spoke calmly, but her meaning was unclear.

But obviously.

She didn't dislike these children.

Lu Yu nodded, then slowly stood up, a slight twitch at the corner of his mouth.

While Zixia was puzzled.

Xiao Cui, who was standing nearby, seemed to have noticed something. She instinctively covered her ears and took a few steps back.

"what!"

Lu Yu suddenly let out a wail, turned around and hugged the chair tightly, looking like he was about to cry but had no tears left.

"Heavens above, it is true that my Blazing Sun Sect is in dire need of rebuilding, but you can't just send over a hundred dolls."

"What kind of nonsense is this?!"
