Chapter 471: Talent Test?
Gu Heng felt that he wasn't exactly courting death.
Although he is probably still a nobody in terms of cultivation, he has a system and a lot of good things given by the system!
Saving your life is far from easy.
Although the Eastern Frontier is in chaos, I've heard that there are bandits everywhere, robbing and plundering, and many cultivators have also fallen into banditry... Perhaps those who went up the mountain were just a bunch of outlaws who ran away to the rear to become bandits because they didn't dare to fight the demon race.
Gu Heng decided he still had to go and see.
If they are bandits, then I might as well use my "omniscient perspective" to check them out, and if possible, use them as practice targets.
But if he were to stumble upon some major secret... he wouldn't mind getting involved.
After quickly drinking a couple of sips of tea, Gu Heng left the town and headed up the mountain from the northeast.
According to what he asked some passersby on the road, this Ancient Flower Mountain Range is not very large, and while there aren't a particularly large number of monsters and wild beasts, there are enough for the people in the town to go up there to hunt every day and have a good harvest.
I've heard that there are a couple of particularly insignificant small forces around the Ancient Flower Mountain Range, and their elders often bring their disciples here to hunt monsters and such.
But ever since that group of red-robed men arrived.
No matter what commotion there was on the mountain, they all disappeared without a trace.
Some people were so frightened that they dared not go up the mountain, fearing that they might suffer some terrible fate, lose their lives, or something even worse.
Gu Heng wasn't worried about these things.
He hummed a little tune and followed the shortest road up the mountain. After walking for less than half an hour, just as he saw a small path and was about to venture deeper, he happened to run into an old man dressed in a Taoist robe by the side of the main road.
There were about ten people gathered here.
When I went over to take a look, I found that the old man had set up a platform by the roadside, and there was a banner next to it with the four big characters "Eastern Frontier Alliance" written on it!
Looking at the old man again, he was dressed in a style that exuded an air of otherworldly elegance, with a jade badge pinned to his chest, making his identity immediately obvious.
That's quite something.
The most powerful force in the Eastern Frontier right now is the Eastern Frontier Alliance.
Although this alliance was established hastily, it united all the forces in the Eastern Frontier, including even the extraordinary forces, so its reputation was quite resounding.
However, why would cultivators from the Eastern Frontier Alliance set up a stall on this main road?
Out of curiosity, Gu Heng went over to see what was going on. "Brother, what's happening here?"
Gu Heng pulled a young man who was on the outskirts. He looked like he was going up the mountain to chop firewood. It seemed that he had been lured there at the last minute. Gu Heng could ask him about the situation.
"Oh, it's nothing. This cultivator said that the war is currently very intense, so the Eastern Frontier Alliance sent out cultivators like him to recruit some promising talents for cultivation in the rear, and then assign them to some cultivators within the alliance for special guidance and cultivation, before sending them out to carry out missions."
After saying this, the woodcutter sighed and shook his head.
"I was thinking of giving it a try, but unfortunately..."
"I'm just average, going there would be a waste of my time, it's pointless!"
It seems he has already been eliminated, but the young woodcutter also seems to have a heart for serving humanity, and even though he has been eliminated, he has lingered.
"I see. Well, it seems you're in for a disappointment, brother." Gu Heng nodded.
No wonder there are so many people here.
"It's alright," the woodcutter chuckled and shook his head. "I'm just idling around anyway."
"If you're going to give it a try, you should do it sooner rather than later, because he might not be here anymore."
Gu Heng smiled and expressed his gratitude.
Seeing Gu Heng's attitude, the woodcutter didn't press the matter, but simply offered a few words of advice before leaving.
But Gu Heng had no intention of trying.
This is a recruitment drive for potential... no, it's more accurate to say they're recruiting cannon fodder.
No matter who this old man recruits or what their talents are, it won't help the battle between the Eastern Frontier and the Demon Realm!
What's the state of the battle on the front lines? A power like the Sunflame Dynasty can vanish in an instant. If the Eastern Frontier Alliance truly wanted to win, it shouldn't have sent cultivators here to recruit talented mortals. Instead, it should have sought aid from human forces in the Central Plains, Southern Wilderness, Northern Desert, and Western Regions!
Even if the people recruited here undergo short-term training, they probably won't be of much help; they'll only be good scraps for the demon army to eat.
"Wait, if he's a cultivator and he's also recruiting, then can I...?"
A sudden idea popped into Gu Heng's mind.
He is now a cultivator, but he doesn't know what his cultivation level is, nor does he know how to tell.
Staring at the experience bar is not a good idea. Even if he is in the Qi Refining stage, he should at least know what level of Qi Refining he is, right?
But Gu Heng just doesn't know how to see things.
I should ask someone... but I can't find anyone to ask.
The cultivators he knew, such as Sect Master Jiang Lingyun, all thought he was some kind of expert, but in reality he was just a novice. Of course, he couldn't bring himself to say that.
However, this old monk might be useful.
He made an excuse to take a talent test, hoping to find out his cultivation level.
Do it when you think of it.
Gu Heng exerted some effort to squeeze to the front from the encirclement of more than a dozen people.
