The Legendary Master’s Wife - Chap 2

Chapter 2: Trading Division

After leaving the room, You XiaoMo finally found out the name of the young man with the blue aura. He was called Jiang Liu. He actually lived next door. In the beginning, he was unremarkable, but ever since the assessment, he had thrived because of his blue aura. A blue aura proved that he had the potential to be a high level mage.

Furthermore, high level mages were hard to come by on Long Xiang Continent. Many mages could only pace back and forth at the low and mid-levels. But if one was able to become a high level mage, the future was limitless. The more one was able to refine high level magic pills, the more respect one would get from people. Therefore, high level mages had always been the target of big-name sects.

Three days ago, those who were brought into the the Tian Xin Sect with You XiaoMo were all accepted as probationary disciples. But after Jiang Liu was shown to have a blue aura during the assessment, he was promoted to an official disciple. Since Jiang Liu was now an official disciple, he would not have to face the entrance exam half a year later. Furthermore, during yesterday’s assessment, someone from the Grand Elder’s lineage took a fancy to Jiang Liu. Today he was invited to move to the inner courtyard. Therefore, he had come to bid them farewell. Aside from You XiaoMo, the others were all envious of Jiang Liu.

“How nice, when will I be able to become an official disciple like Jiang Liu?”

“Work hard, then maybe we can fulfill this dream half a year later.”

“If only it was that easy.”

You XiaoMo finally couldn’t stop himself from blurting out, “Is it really that hard?”

He didn’t want to be driven out of the the Tian Xin Sect. In this strange dimension, staying within the Tian Xin Sect was probably the safest bet.

The person who was speaking gave him a look, and just when You XiaoMo started to feel flustered, he indifferently looked away, saying with a long face, “The Tian Xin Sect has very stringent demands of their mage disciples. From what I know, if you wish to enter the inner courtyard, you must refine a level three magic pill. Furthermore, it must be within the next six months.”

At once, sharp intakes of breath could be heard, accompanied by disbelieving faces with mouths hanging open. Low level mages were also able to refine level three magic pills, but that required at least two to three years of perseverance, and even then success was not guaranteed. There was no guarantee that any mage, even a low level mage, would be able to refine a complete level three magic pill. A level two magic pill seemed more probable.

Hearing his words, everyone became disheartened.

Although You XiaoMo didn’t know what it took to become a mage, looking at everyone’s expressions, it seemed to be a difficult path. Like this, he started to feel that his future was becoming darker and darker.

“But, it was not as if we have absolutely no hope.” Looking at everyone’s depressed expressions, that person suddenly perked up.

“What hope? Spit it out.” Everyone was hanging in suspense.

That person spoke secretively, “The Tian Xin Sect is a very large sect. The disciples number in the thousands and tens of thousands. Putting aside the Warrior Division, looking just at the Mage Division, the yearly expenses are huge. You all know that although mages can earn money, in the early stages, the burn rate is high. Therefore, the Tian Xin Sect also has a trading division, specialized in making money for the Tian Xin Sect.”

Hearing this, even You XiaoMo perked up his ears.

“If you are able to attract the attention of the elders from the trading division when the time comes, even if you fail to attract the attention of the inner circles, you still will not be forced to leave the Tian Xin Sect. It’s just that from then on, your destiny with alchemy comes to an end.”

After his words, everyone seemed lost in thought. After hearing this, You XiaoMo understood that the trading division wa s a busin ess, but this meant one must be business-minded. Furthermore, from what he said, it seemed that was not all there was to it. What twists and turns lie ahead, You XiaoMo didn’t know, but he didn’t intend to give up. After parting from the rest, You XiaoMo decided to head to the library to take a look .
