Chapter 171
There were only a few days left until the Sects’ Recruitment Ceremony.
For most of the clans and warriors in Evergreen Town, this event was none of their concern, so few paid attention to it.
However, James and George from the Lawrence family were not them.
Based on the news they received, it had been ten days since Nori left Lawrence Manor that morning.
According to his actions, he did not plan to return.
Hence, James and George were troubled about this matter.
After pondering for a while, James asked, “Father, do you think that our attitude toward Casper was too cold?”
The last time James and Nori met in private, he offered him two conditions. NôvelDrama.Org holds this content.
At that time, James dealt with Nori according to his condition, where his meridians were wholly damaged, and he could only be a warrior for the rest of his life.
However, after knowing the incident where Nori kicked Faye away in the middle of the street a few days ago, James suddenly felt that he messed up.
James also learned that the Oceans Chamber of Commerce blacklisted the White family because Faye offended Bjorne, which made James nervous and terrified.
At that time, James was confident that he made a mistake in his strategy against Nori as he forgot that William from the Oceans Chamber of Commerce highly valued Morten.
Nonetheless, James was unaware of George’s relationship with Bjorne, so James thought that William was the one helping Nori until now.
Besides that, William might even help Nori recover his meridians.
At the thought of that, James felt his stomach churning.
It would still be alright if Nori’s meridians did not recover, but if they did, then the offers James gave to Nori would become an insult.
Other people would love to bring in cultivators to enhance their clan’s strength, but James actually provoked one.
Additionally, this cultivator initially belonged to his family!
James was really on the edge of crying.
Moreover, Nori’s actions these days confirmed his guess, Nori was unsatisfied with the Lawrence family and was not returning.
Nori clearly intended to sever their ties.
Therefore, James hurriedly looked for George to discuss how to handle the matter.
George did not expect that Bjorne, who was confirmed that his meridians were all damaged, would still have a possibility to recover.
This news also made him stressed out.
After giving it a thought, George finally answered, “Casper’s surely adamant about entering the Dark Moon Sect.
With that, we don’t need to worry that Casper will do any harm against the Lawrence family.
As for the Sects’ Recruitment Ceremony…”
Then, George looked at James and continued, “Did the Dark Moon Sect arrange for Master lan to be there too?”
“Yes.” James nodded.
George was relieved.
“That’s great news for us! If Casper unbelievably recovers his meridians by then and shows an incredible performance, Master Ian will naturally value him.
Once he enters the Dark Moon Sect, it’ll be to everyone’s delight and satisfaction.
On the other hand, if his energy channels are still damaged, we don’t need to worry about anything and proceed as usual.
However, we’ll still need to be concerned about him.
After all, Casper’s still an inscription apprentice.”
James pondered on it and immediately understood George’s plan.
Then, he nodded and replied, “Alright, I know what to do.
We’ll just wait for the Sects’ Recruitment Ceremony‘s result a few days later.”

Nori went on his journey before the Sects’ Recruitment Ceremony started.
After he achieved the Immortal Demon Physique, he went to meet George.
Later, Nori rejected George’s offer to go there together, and he left alone for Cherry Blossom Valley, not far away from Evergreen Town.
When Nori arrived at the Cherry Blossom Valley, which was the Sects’ Recruitment Ceremony’s venue, there were three more days until it officially began.
At that time, no one was allowed to enter the Cherry Blossom Valley.
Hence, the outside of the valley was bustling with young warriors from the surrounding regions who wished to attend the test, and their families were there too.
Even the number of carriages was already more than thousands.
Surprisingly, there was none like Bjorne, who carried their spear and walked here.
Next, Nori went to look for someone and ask for details, and he found that the Cherry Blossom Valley would only be open on the day of the Sects‘ Recruitment Ceremony.
Then, the participating warriors would be able to enter.
After pondering for a moment, Nori was not in a rush to meditate and practice either.
Instead, he found a sect’s elder in charge of the registration and wrote down his details.
Later, Nori received an identification badge, and he started to wander around the area.
Although Nori appeared to be strolling idly, he was observing and eavesdropping.
When Nori saw those that enjoyed expressing their opinions in public, he would go over and ask a few questions.
Hence, it did not take Nori long to understand the Sects’ Recruitment Ceremony‘s process, formality, and so on… Generally, it was not much different from what George had informed him before.
However, those contents that George was unaware of, Nori managed to find out about it here.
After all, the young warriors that appeared here today, their families were unlike Nori’s.
This might be the first time for Bjorne, but their families joined the Sects’ Recruitment Ceremony every year.
Thus, it could be said that they were familiar with this.
Once Nori clarified the entire process, he was not nervous anymore.
Then, he found an empty area and started to meditate and practice.
During this time, someone would occasionally approach him and try to strike up a conversation.
Nonetheless, Nori treated them rather coldly.
As these people could tell that Nori was not interested in being friends, they only said a few words before leaving.
Just like that, three days quickly passed by.
Then, on the third morning, Nori heard a buzzing sound, followed by a gurgling sound as if water was boiling.
Then, a roar came from afar.
Nori turned to look and instantly noticed the direction in the Cherry Blossom Valley in the distance was glowing in colorful lights.
The lights spread toward the surroundings like a tide.
At a glance, it appeared so beautiful that it was like a dream or a fantasy as if they were in a fairyland.
The surrounding crowd kept exclaiming, and Nori also felt his heart beating wildly from watching the beautiful scenery.
He knew that this was not a mortal’s technique but only achievable by an immortal.
‘This is a power only available for those beyond Pulse Control Realm!’ Nori’s eyes reflected the color lights, and in the depths of them, a look of excitement glimmered.
Suddenly, he felt the identification badge on his waist was heating.
Then, a hoarse voice came, “Every young warrior that is attending the Sects’ Recruitment Ceremony, please enter the Cherry Blossom Valley with your identification badge.”
When Nori heard that, he looked at the seemingly ordinary wooden identification waist, and his eyes abruptly widened.
‘Is this the legendary formation that can transmit sound?’
Before the Sects’ Recruitment Ceremony even started, Nori saw scenes that he did not before.
‘I’ve only read from the books that magicians can affect square feet of land, wizards can interfere with half of the city, whereas sorcerers can move mountains and reclaim the sea, or even reach the stars and the moon.
When I was reading about them, I didn’t have much reaction.
Now that I’m witnessing the cultivators‘ methods, I realized that the cultivator world isn’t the same as the mortal world, and it’s even beyond the imagination of a mortal.’
Nori clenched his fists tightly and walked toward the Cherry Blossom Valley.
‘I’m getting more excited for the pathway to immortality.’
