Ye Chen and Yan Xiu still had uneasy looks on their faces.
The middle-aged man smiled and said, "Gentlemen, I'll be frank. My master seems to have the intention of recruiting the two of you into the Jade Tripod Sect. Therefore, the two of you must be prepared."
"What?
He wants us to join the Jade Tripod Sect? "Ye Chen and Yan Xiu were shocked.
The Jade Tripod Sect was one of the few major sects in the Tianren Continent. Although it could not be compared to the Heavenly Courts, Thunderclap Monastery, and Angel Pool, it was an existence that was second only to the three major factions.
There were countless warriors who wished to join such a sect. This was evident just by looking at the number of warriors who appeared daily at the foot of Jade Tripod Mountain.
However, to join the Jade Tripod Sect, one needed to have sufficient opportunities.
In fact, even if one had sufficient strength, they might not be able to join the Jade Tripod Sect. That was because the Jade Tripod Sect was a sect that specialized in healing. To join the Jade Tripod Sect, one had to have talent in that area.
Take Baguio for example. When she joined the Jade Tripod Sect, her strength had not even reached the half-step Heavenly Human realm.
But now, at the foot of Jade Tripod Mountain, there were a large number of warriors who had reached the half-step Heavenly Human realm who wished to join the Jade Tripod Sect but failed.
To most warriors in the Celestial Continent, being able to join the Jade Tripod Sect was definitely a great opportunity.
However, to Ye Chen and Yan Xiu, joining the Jade Tripod Sect was not necessarily a good thing.
Both of them were quasi-Heaven Human realm existences. It was only a matter of time before they became Heavenly Human realm experts.
Therefore, even if the two of them did not join any sect, they would be able to establish themselves in the Tianren Continent as long as they became Heavenly Human realm experts.
Apart from that, with their quasi-Heaven Human status, they could easily join the Heavenly Courts and become Heavenly Generals of the Heavenly Courts, much less the Jade Tripod Sect.
Therefore, Ye Chen and Yan Xiu did not have much expectations of joining the Jade Tripod Sect.
"Alright, I have already explained the general situation to the two of you. My master is waiting for us inside. Let's go in quickly," said the middle-aged man with a smile.
Ye Chen and Yan Xiu followed behind the middle-aged man and stepped into the huge hall in front of them.
At this moment, in the depths of the hall, there was a bald man. He was not very tall and appeared to be extremely thin. He was sitting on a chair at the front.
The bald man was startled when he sensed the presence of Ye Chen and the others. His eyes were filled with curiosity.
When Ye Chen and Yan Xiu appeared at the entrance of the palace, the bald man's gaze landed on the two of them, and he started to size them up.
"Master, I have already invited Ye Chen and Yan Xiu over." The middle-aged man smiled as he led Ye Chen and Yan Xiu into the hall.
The bald man nodded slightly. His gaze suddenly fell on Ye Chen as he said, "You are Ye Chen?"
This bald man, Elder Mo Ba, had a sonorous voice that sounded like two pieces of metal rubbing against each other. It made one feel uncomfortable all over.
"Yes." In front of a heavenly being, Ye Chen did not dare to be impudent. Therefore, he nodded slightly and did not speak further.
A smile appeared on Elder Mo Ba's face as he nodded at Ye Chen, then looked at Yan Xiu.
Instantly, Yan Xiu felt as if he had been completely seen through by Elder Mo Ba.
This strange situation lasted for a few breaths before the pressure on Yan Xiu's body dissipated abruptly.
Meanwhile, Elder Mo Ba's face started to reveal a disappointed expression.
"Although the two of you are both Quasi-Empyrean Realm existences, Yan Xiu, your strength can only be counted as ordinary Quasi-Empyrean Realm existences. As for Ye Chen, he is much stronger than you." Elder Mo Ba pondered for a moment, then slowly said.
To be able to see through Ye Chen and Yan Xiu at a glance, this Elder Mo Ba's eyesight was clearly extraordinary.
"Ordinary quasi-heavenly being?" Ye Chen and Yan Xiu looked at each other again with curiosity in their eyes.
The two of them were not very clear about this method of determining strength.
After Elder Mo Ba casually spoke, he continued, "Just now, my disciple should have told the both of you the reason why I have invited the both of you here. That's right, the both of you are dragons and phoenixes amongst men. I intend to take the both of you in and allow you to join the Jade Tripod Sect. I wonder if the both of you are willing?"
Ye Chen and Yan Xiu were silent for a moment. Finally, Ye Chen said slowly, "Elder, you should be clear about our situation. There is really no need for us to join the Jade Tripod Sect. Elder, can you tell us what benefits we will get if we join the Jade Tripod Sect?"
"The two of you are too presumptuous. In front of our master, you actually dare to …" The middle-aged man beside them was shocked when he heard Ye Chen's words, and he immediately reprimanded him.
However, before he could finish speaking, Elder Mo Ba had already started laughing loudly. "Haha, you are rather straightforward. You directly ask for benefits. However, you are right. As quasi-heavenly beings who have achieved success in cultivation, there is indeed no need for you to join the Jade Tripod Sect if you do not have sufficient benefits."
After staring at Ye Chen and Yan Xiu for a moment, Elder Mo Ba continued, "In that case, I can promise you that as long as you are willing to join the Jade Tripod Sect, I will give you three high-level Dharmic level martial arts. Furthermore, these three high-level Dharmic level martial arts are completely compatible with the ultimate strength that you have comprehended.
Apart from that, I will allocate sufficient resources to allow you to completely condense the Heavenly Being Scepter. "
It had to be said that Elder Mo Ba's two conditions were simply irresistible to quasi-heavenly beings.
Even Ye Chen and Yan Xiu could not help but become excited.
"These are three high-level Dharmic level martial arts. Furthermore, they are compatible with our attributes. Such an encounter is probably something that every quasi-heavenly being yearns for."
Yan Xiu's eyes flickered with excitement. However, he also revealed some curiosity as he asked, "Senior Mo Ba, Senior's conditions are indeed very tempting. However, can I ask if there is any other reason for Senior to suddenly give us such benefits and rope us in to join the Jade Tripod Sect?"
There would be a batch of new disciples joining the Jade Tripod Sect almost every year. However, when these new disciples joined the Jade Tripod Sect, they would not receive such great benefits.
Therefore, be it Ye Chen or Yan Xiu, they naturally began to suspect that Elder Mo Ba had ulterior motives for offering such conditions.
"You are rather cautious."
Elder Mo Ba grinned and said, "Even if you are a quasi-celestial being, you won't be able to receive such generous conditions after joining my Jade Cauldron Sect. You have to complete the missions given by the sect before you can exchange for these high grade martial arts and resources. The reason I'm giving you such conditions is because of you, Ye Chen.
