The Inner Disciple Recruitment

*The Inner Disciple Recruitment is the Event of the Huangfu Holy Sect.*

## Story

After the Meteor God Canyon Trial, Shen Qingqiu called all the outer disciples to gather in the Qianlong List Hall. The purpose of this meeting was to welcome the Elder Chiefs of the 9 Divisions in the Inner Gate, who had come to recruit outer disciples to become inner disciples.

The disciples with the best qualifications in their Fetal Souls could become Closed Disciples of the Elder Chiefs. Out of all those who came, only Mu Mengyi, Zhongwu Shiyao, and Xue Ziyan had it. Meanwhile, Tan Yun had a unique Fetal Soul.

Although there are 13 known types of Fetal Soul - Gold, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth, Wind, Thunder, Ancient, Beast, Time, Space, Death, and Light - there are still many unique types that remain undiscovered. One such Fetal Soul is Tan Yun's, known as the Hongmeng Fetal Soul.

Soon after, the Elder Chiefs of the 9 Divisions arrived in spirit boats. Then, Shen Qinggiu introduced the Elder Chiefs one by one. The Elder Chief of the 9 Divisions included Shen Subing in the Alchemy Division, Murong Shishi in the Weapon Division, Tang Xuanfeng in the Formation Division, Zhu Danrong in the Talisman Division, Wu Qingquan in the Five Souls Division, Hu Yusheng in the Wind and Thunder Division, Wu Hong in the Beast Souls Division, Huangfu Shenkun in the Ancient Souls Division, and Linghu Canghe in the Holy Souls Division.

After the introduction, Linghu Canghe looked at all the disciples present at that time. He estimated that only 10% of the 3122 disciples who took part in the Meteor God Canyon Trial were present in the Qianlong List Hall. He also noticed that his great-grandson, Linghu Changkong, was not there. Then, Linghu Canghe asked Shen Qingqiu what had happened. A disciple then revealed that Linghu Changkong, Murong Kun, Liu Rulong, Wang Futong and several other disciples had been killed by Tan Yun.

This enraged Linghu Canghe, who intended to kill Tan Yun then and there. However, Tan Yun explained several rules of the Huangfu Holy Sect. One of the rules was that if someone deliberately wanted to kill another person, the person was allowed to defend themselves and kill the attacker. Upon hearing this, Linghu Canghe abandoned his intention.

Afterward, the Inner Disciples Recruitment began, and the 9 Elder Chiefs began to promote the excellence of each division they led. The disciples then chose the divisions they were interested in, leaving only four people – Mu Mengyi, Zhongwu Shiyao, Xu Ziyan, and Tan Yun.

One of the elders asked about the Fetal Souls that Mu Mengyi, Zhongwu Shiyao, and Xue Ziyan had. After the three of them explained, the Elder Chiefs were eager to make them Closed Disciples.

However, Tan Yun advised Xue Ziyan, Mu Mengyi, and Zhongwu Shiyao according to their talents. So Xue Ziyan became a Closed Disciple of Wu Qingquan, because she had Gold, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth Fetal Souls.  Zhongwu Shiyao became a Closed Disciple of Murong Shishi, because she had Space Fetal Soul and the Xuanyin Holy Body  and Mu Mengyi became a Closed Disciple of Wu Hong, because she had the Beast and Death Fetal Souls  after the three of them followed Tan Yun's suggestion.

Now, there was only Tan Yun who had not been chosen by all the Elder Chiefs. Linghu Canghe, who had hated Tan Yun from the start, rushed over to Tan Yun and checked Tan Yun's Fetal Soul. He ordered Tan Yun to show his Fetal Soul, and Tan Yun complied.

However, Linghu Canghe didn't find anything. He only saw 7 people who looked like Tan Yun sitting cross-legged in his spiritual pool that was emitting golden light. Linghu Canghe, who didn't know about the Tan Yun's Fetal Soul, immediately said that there were no energy fluctuations in the Golden Fetal Soul is Tan Yun's. He concluded that Tan Yun had a Waste Fetal Soul.

Soon after, Xu Ziyan asked her master, Wu Qingquan, to help check it, and Wu Qingquan also checked Tan Yun's Fetal Soul. But Wu Qingquan also didn't find anything and stated that Tan Yun had Waste Fetal Soul. so All of the Elder Chiefs agreed that Tan Yun had Waste Fetal Soul.

All the disciples who saw this didn't seem to believe it. Those who had Fetal Souls with the Best Qualifications were killed by Tan Yun easily, while Tan Yun only had the strength of level 7 of the Fetal Soul Realm.

Linghu Canghe, who saw this, immediately came to Tan Yun and insulted him. He originally thought that Tan Yun had the best Fetal Soul but only had a Waste Fetal Soul, after which he laughed with satisfaction.

Mu Mengyi, Zhongwu Shiyao, and Xu Ziyan, who knew about Tan Yun's Fetal Soul, couldn't believe what happened.

They know very well that Tan Yun's Hongmeng Fetal Soul has better qualifications than those who only have Best Qualification, is also better than the general 13 attribute Fetal Soul, and is better than those who have Holy Body.

Xu Ziyan immediately knelt and asked Wu Qingquan to accept Tan Yun as a disciple, but Wu Qingquan refused to accept Tan Yun as a disciple.

Likewise with Zhongwu Shiyao and Mu Mengyi, Murong Shishi and Wu Hong refused to take Tan Yun as their disciple, and the other Elder Chiefs also rejected Tan Yun as their disciple.

Tan Yun deliberately hid his Fetal Soul from everyone, including the Elder Chief. He could only show his 4 skills: Alchemist, Refining Weapon, Refining Talisman, and Refining Formation to everyone. That was because he was the reincarnation of Hongmeng Supreme, and he didn't want his enemies from the God Realm to know about this.

Seeing this, Shen Qingfeng immediately approached Tan Yun to ask about Tan Yun's unique Fetal Soul. Tan Yun answered that he indeed had a unique Fetal Soul.

Then Shen Qingqiu begged Shen Subing to make Tan Yun a disciple of the Alchemy Division. However, this made Shen Subing angry because Tan Yun had prevented her from getting Zhongwu Shiyao and Mu Mengyi, which meant she did not have disciples with the best talents. She was also angry because Shen Qingqiu asked her to accept disciples with Waste Fetal Soul.

Shen Qingqiu, who truly believed in Tan Yun's potential, immediately swore to the Heavens that as long as Tan Yun entered the Alchemy Division, it would be a blessing for the Division. If Tan Yun can't make it happen for 5 years to 10 years, then he is ready to be cursed and die horribly.

Hearing that oath, Shen Subing had no other choice but to accept Tan Yun as a Servant Disciple of the Alchemy Division.
