Chapter 6

Bing charged at the weaker ones of the group to lower there morale. Shiiing shiiing his sword pierced their skin and sliced through their bones no one could even try to defend the last one standing was the leader of the bandits.

"Y-You! Will pay for this kid" the leader became angry and charged at Bing but he couldn't hit Bing it's as if he knew exactly what he was going to do. "Your so slow" Bing yawned before he got into his position, he held the sword near his hips squatted down then boom the leaders head fell on the ground and bings sword broke.

"Nicely done, he's qualified alright, and his swordsmanship is very good to a true talent" "thank you for the kind words Mister lei" "Bing check their stuff and bring them here" Shen said and Bing went and checked them he took all their stuff they had small spatial pouches that couldn't hold that many stuff.

"Hmm total of 300 low grade spirit stones, 10 medium grade spirit stones and-" before he finished Shen spoke up "you can keep them take their weapons and give it to mister lei it can be useful for new recruits". "Alright let's go" after putting all the weapons in the carriage he threw the body's towards the beasts so they could be distracted while they made their escape.

It had been a week since they left the Lou family residence and they had arrived at the village, it had walls and few guards at the gates. "Open up and go get your village head we've come for the tax and to recruit" after speaking one of the guards recognized Shen and he quickly ran towards the village heads home after a few minutes the village head arrived with few people.

"Your village has 2 low grade mines so with it shouldn't be hard to pay" Shen spoke the village head took out a ring and gave it to Shen Lou which he then took 10,000 low grade spirit stones and gave the ring back to the village head, he put the 10,000 low grade spirit stones inside of his own ring.

Bing got out and saw bunch of kids with the village head they all seemed 10 years old. It seemed this was the recruitment for the Lou family. "Okay bring the kids here remember they have to be 10 years and older but under 15 years old" the kids came to the carriage and lined up then Shen Lou took a weird looking crystal out of his ring.

"This is a talent analyzer as long as you have level 1 talent you can become a peak pre body refinement realm cultivator before you die, a level 2 talent means you can become a body refinement realm cultivator and lastly talent level 3 means you will enter the peak of body refinement realm" Shen Lou explained.

"I have a grade 5 talent meaning I can become a peak Qi circulation realm expert in the future and…" Shen took a look at Bing and handed the crystal to him. "My friend here has a-" when Bing touched it the crystal exploded. "His talent is more then level 3 meaning he will become an expert in the future" Shen Lou looked at Bing with a surprised face then took out another crystal.

"Each crystal has 5 use and I only have 4 more meaning only 20 people are coming but don't worry just because your not 20 or lower in the line doesn't mean they will have talent now come up". One after another the kids came up to the crystal and put their hands on it. To determine the talent the crystal lit into 3 different colors level 1 talent was white, level 2 was orange and level 3 was red.

"None failed"

"None failed"

The first 5 kids all failed.

"Level 1 talent passed" Shen Lou pointed at the carriage Bing came out of and the kids that passed stood next to the carriage, out of 100 kids 5 kids had level 1 talent 2 had level 2 talent and there were no level 3 talent. "We will take 15 kids for the mines once they are done with their duty they will get a Qi pill which will help them cultivate but without talent they won't get that far.

"Whoever wants to go raise your hands" out of the 93 people only 5 people raised their hands. "Okay stand next to the others, village head let's go talk privately" Shen said, the carriages were parked near the village building the kids went and got their stuff while Shen was talking with the village head. "You guys can stay with your family for a week then after that we will leave" Shen said before they said their final good byes.

In the main hall of the building Shen sat on the village head seat will Bing stood next to him and lei stood at the entrance. "We have been sent here to exterminate the wolves so pile up every information you have on them" the village head the picked up a few papers and said "these are everything our scouts and hunters have gathered".

Total amount of wolves was 20 which had grew from their expectations, their were 2 rank 1 wolves and the rest were rank 0. "Hmm okay we will check it out tomorrow". The village head arranged rooms for them to stay. Bing went into his room sighed and sat down to cultivate.
