Chapter 983: Results of the sect recruitment
After reporting at the palace, Lin Fan headed back to the Love Sect to tell the elders about stalling the sect recruitment.
However, he found that there was actually an incident that had held the sect recruitment back.
It wasn't a bad thing that this incident happened, but rather it was a matter that made it so the sect recruitment had to be delayed.
They just had to report this matter to Lin Fan for his decision.
It was that there was someone with talent that far surpassed what they were looking for.
This person had even destroyed the pillar that they used to test the disciples with how talented they were.
So they had to wait for Lin Fan to come back to create another one since he was the one that had created that pillar in the first place.
Lin Fan was surprised to hear that someone had broken it since even Huang Xie hadn't been able to break it even though he was the Heaven's Chosen. But then again, Huang Xie as the Heaven's Chosen wasn't something that gave him natural talent.
Huang Xie's greatest strength was that as long as he didn't die, he would eventually reach a point where he would be above all others.
That was the nature of being the Heaven's Chosen.
It wasn't power that was given directly, it was power that would come to him in the form of lucky encounters. The more that he stepped into his role as the Heaven's Chosen and gained more lucky encounters, the stronger he would eventually become.
So right now, Huang Xie was still considered weak.
When he first came to the Love Sect, his physique had still been sealed away.
It took Lin Fan's Appraisal Eyes to tell that Huang Xie was special.
But this time, the person had been able to directly break the pillar with their talent, which showed just what kind of talent they possessed.
That was why Lin Fan was curious what kind of person this was.
"Alright, I'll meet him personally." That was what Lin Fan said after he finished hearing all about this possible disciple of the Love Sect.
The others nodded in agreement since this was what they wanted in the first place.
They weren't able to see through this person, so they naturally needed Lin Fan to step up.
Other than that, they also needed Lin Fan to take out another pillar for the rest of the sect recruitment. Since he was the one that had taken out the pillar in the first place, he was the only one that could replace it.
Without that pillar, they really couldn't do the rest of the sect recruitment.
When Lin Fan came into the room that the young woman was waiting in, he was surprised by the presence that she exuded.
He didn't feel this presence before, so the only explanation was that it had been awakened because of the test. The pillar was an item that went deep into a person to find the hidden talents that they had.
To do that, it had to awaken it to a certain extent to detect it.
It seemed that doing this had actually awakened this young woman's talent to the point where it could be openly detected.
There was even a bit of pressure that was placed on him because of this young woman's aura. Even though he was already in the Golden Core Realm, he was still feeling pressure from this young woman's aura.
That showed that whatever talent had been awakened definitely wasn't normal.
When the young woman inside saw who it was that had stepped in, she quickly stood up and bowed her head to say in a respectful voice, "Sect master."
Lin Fan just gave a simple nod of acknowledgement in response before narrowing his eyes to look at this young woman.
When the description of this young woman appeared in front of him, he couldn't help being shocked.
It wasn't just because what he saw was terrifying, it was because he never expected his Appraisal Eyes to be able to see through something like this.
Dan Ning
Reincarnation of the Dream Immortal King
That was the title that this young woman named Dan Ning had.
Immortal King…
While Lin Fan didn't know just how high this was in terms of cultivation realms, he did know that this definitely wouldn't be normal. After all, there was the fact that the word immortal was in this title.
Anyone that was an immortal was someone from the upper realm and an Immortal King would certainly be someone important in the upper realm.
For someone like that to fall and then reincarnate to this lower realm, it certainly was a shocking matter.
What was even more shocking was that this reincarnation of the Immortal King had been led to his Love Sect.
But after thinking about it, Lin Fan understood why he was able to see through this background in the first place.
The Appraisal Eyes that he had was a max level skill that had been bestowed upon him by a god, so it was only natural that it would be able to see through something like this. Immortal Kings were on the same level as a god, so the full power of a god's ability would be able to see through them.
The only thing that Lin Fan was confused on was what he should do now…
He didn't know how he should treat this Dan Ning.
Even though there was no doubt that she would become a powerful person in the future, there was still something to be worried about when it came to her. There was the fact that she might have grudges from her past life that would be brought into this life.
If someone were to find that she was the reincarnation of an Immortal King, the enemies of the former Immortal King might come to make trouble for her.
While Lin Fan had never heard of any mentions of immortals descending into this world, he had encountered avatars of gods, items from gods, and even true forms of gods before.
So he knew that it wouldn't be a problem for immortals to interfere in this world if gods could do the same. After all, immortals were the cultivation equivalent of gods.
Or at least in terms of energy they were.
Dan Ning had been silent the entire time since she was waiting to see what Lin Fan had to say.
She had followed the Love Sect's elders to this room after what happened with the pillar because she thought that it might be a good thing. But now that she saw Lin Fan looking at her with narrowed eyes like this, she started worrying that this whole thing might be a bad thing.
Dan Ning was starting to worry that the Love Sect might even accuse her of cheating during the trial and punish her. That was why she had been brought in front of Lin Fan like this.
After another moment of silence, Dan Ning suddenly said, "Sect master, if I have done something wrong, I can apologize and compensate the Love Sect."
Lin Fan was caught off guard when he heard Dan Ning say this.
Experience tales with My Virtual Library Empire
He had been lost in thought about what he should do about Dan Ning, but he was pulled out of his thoughts when he heard what she said.
When Lin Fan was pulled back from his thoughts, he couldn't help feeling that he had been thinking about this a bit too much. After all, everything that he was thinking about was what could happen in the future.
It wasn't as if people would be able to find out about Dan Ning's background that easily, especially since it was something that was related to the upper realm.
The matters of the upper realm were only noticeable to those from the upper realm and it wouldn't happen here in the lower realm.
In that case…
"No, we're not going to punish you for what happened. I was just thinking about what to do about you, but I've come to a decision." Lin Fan said in a calm voice that made Dan Ning worried.
After all, she just couldn't read what Lin Fan was thinking.
Dan Ning couldn't help giving a gulp as she waited to hear what Lin Fan had to say.
"I was thinking about letting one of the elders take you as a disciple, but I think I want you as my disciple instead. So will you take me as your master?" Lin Fan said in the same calm voice.
However, Dan Ning couldn't remain as calm as Lin Fan was.
After all, the words that came out of his mouth completely shocked her.
But at the same time, it seemed that she was excited to hear what he said.
This was because it was what Dan Ning had been hoping to hear.
She didn't have hope at first because of what Lin Fan said, but now that she heard it, she couldn't help being filled with hope.
Being the disciple of the Love Sect's sect master was a ticket to the top.
For an orphan like her, it was certainly something that she could never have dreamed of when she decided to the Love Sect's recruitment.
Dan Ning had been about to nod in agreement to this, but then she realized something and stopped herself. She went forward to fall to her knees before bowing her head to say, "Master, please accept this bow."
Lin Fan gave a simple nod before saying, "You are now my third disciple."
