Talent Swallowing System

793  Alex

'It looks like the only way to get more disciples is by poaching from the other sects.'

After learning about how difficult it was to find the orphans who hadn't joined the sect, Leo changed his plans and decided to poach the disciples from the sect.

Even though it was considered taboo in a cultivation world to poach someone else's disciples, Leo didn't bother about such taboos.

'As long as I maintain the secrecy and poach the disciples from the other sects, it won't be an issue.'

Leo was not worried about being looked down on by others because, in this cruel world, there was no need for him to worry about what others thought about him.

However, the problem is, that if a sect finds out that he was poaching its disciples and he was weak, then the sect would not hesitate to kill him.

Moreover, if he was more powerful than the sect, the sect would ally with other sects saying that he was poaching the disciples and at the same time, promising the allied sect some benefits for assisting them in killing him.

Hence, Leo had to do the poaching of disciples in complete secrecy.

'Shall I start the poaching of disciples from this Purple Moon City?'

Since he had already decided to poach the disciples from the sects and with Purple Moon City being a Grade 8 City, it would have lots of disciples that Leo could poach.

'Moreover, the chances of even the lowly disciples to have good cultivation talent and potential.'

With that thought in mind, Leo decided to start his mission right away.

'The easiest way to make someone acknowledge me as his or her master was by finding the desperate disciples.'

Back in Silver Moon City, Leo was able to get acknowledgement of Ethan by establishing his image of a powerful cultivator in a Golden Core Realm and at the same time, Leo promised to help Ethan remove his curse.

Therefore, Ethan acknowledged Leo as his master without any hesitation because in this cruel world, having a powerful Golden Core Realm cultivator as a master solves half of the problems.

Even though Leo could try out other methods, it would take years to get the acknowledgement of the disciples. Leo didn't have the time to waste years to get an acknowledgement of a single disciple.

Therefore, Leo decided to find the ones who were desperate for help as it would be easier to make them his disciples.

'How to find the most desperate disciples in the city?'

Leo raised his brows as he looked around and could not find any good source where he could find the desperate disciples so easily unless he was fortunate enough to encounter some.

'It would only happen in the stories and not in real life.'

Leo shook his head as he decided to use his talent to find some potential disciples in the Purple Moon City.

'Where can I find the most desperate disciple in the city?'

With that question in mind, Leo activated the [Quasi Divine Knowlede].

….

A low-level disciple named Alex aged 28 years in the Grade 8 Sect has been bitten by a rank 2 Moon Viper on one of his sect missions. He only had less than one month before he had to take a Rank 2 Pill Anti Viperdote Pill.

However, he didn't have enough spirit stones or the contribution points to buy the pill.

Due to the venom in his body, even with his level 7 Qi-refinement cultivation, he was barely able to use the strength of a Level 4 Qi-refinement.

The Grade 8 sect, Purple Moon Sect, only cared about mid and high-level disciples and didn't bother about the low-level disciples like Alex.

….

Soon, the full information about Alex appeared in his head and it cost Leo 10 percent of his mind power.

'10 percent of mind power for this much information on a Qi-refinement Cultivator was very costly.'

If it was before the breakthrough, Leo would have not thought it was a huge consumption; however, he broke through to the Golden Core Realm and his mind power has been increased by 10 times.

'Anyway, it is still within my limits.'

Leo didn't bother to think about it much as he decided to focus on finding the disciple named Alex.

'According to the information I got from the [Quasi Divine Knowledge], he was currently planning to go on another mission.'

Leo raised his brows as he muttered, 'This little one has really gone crazy that he dared to go on a mission in his current state.'

Even though Leo said that he had seen himself in that disciple named Alex.

For Alex, there was no other option other than entering the Purple Wilderness which was close to Purple Moon City.

Alex was an orphan who had a mediocre cultivation talent and was able to upgrade his status of 'Servant' to a low-level Disciple.

The only one he could rely on in his current situation was the sect; however, almost all the sects in this world didn't bother to care about the low-level disciples like Alex…including Leo's sect.

The only reason why the 12 orphans turned disciples in the Twilight Moon Sect stayed in the sect was because they had nowhere else to go and at the same time, they were personally picked by Leo and they considered him as their father.

As for Leo's predecessor, he never cared about them and of course, eventually, he started liking them seeing how loyal they were to him and the sect.

Here, since the Purple Moon Sect has so many disciples, he won't be bothered with a low-level disciple like Alex and hence, Alex has to depend on himself.

Even though it was risky to enter the Wilderness in his current situation, Alex didn't want to wait for death without doing anything from his end.

Hence, he picked one of the missions that would give him enough contribution points to buy the Anti Viperdote Pill.

In the past, Leo was like that, giving his best till the end and thus when he learned about Alex, he could not help but see himself in Alex.

'For those who won't give up till the end, they were perfect to become my disciple.'

The only thing that Leo lacks right now is the cultivation resources below the Golden Core Realm.

Hence, he didn't bother about the cultivation of talent much.

For him, a disciple just needs to have some cultivation talent and with the help of his special cultivation resources, he could help them become the Golden Core Realm Cultivators in no time.

'It's decided. Alex…you will be the first disciple I will be poaching from the sect.'

If Leo went and asked the sect to let Alex join his sect, the sect wouldn't hesitate to reject his offer.

Most of these sects have a motto, once a disciple of the sect, he should live and die as the sect's disciple.

So, Leo didn't bother to ask the sect as he decided to start his mission and execute his plan.

'Let's meet him on the outskirts of the city where there would be fewer cultivators.'

With that thought in mind, Leo quietly left the city and waited for Alex at one of the exits of the Purple Moon City.

Of course, Leo didn't forget to buy 10 high-level Anti Viperdote Pills which cost him 1000 low-level spirit stones.

Even though there were four exits for the Purple Moon Sect, only one exit could lead the cultivators to the Purple Wilderness.

So, it didn't take much time for Leo to see a thin and weak-looking cultivator leave the city.

'I don't have to use the [Quasi Divine Knowledge] to check his identity.'

Leo shook his head as he silently approached Alex, making Alex alert.

However, no matter how alerted he was, he could do nothing in his current situation.

'As long as you acknowledge me as your master, I will help you remove the poison from his body.'

It was straight and simple, making Alex look at Leo.

'As long as you acknowledge me as your master, I will help you become a Golden Core Realm cultivator. If not, you can go to the Purple Wilderness and try your luck.'

Leo was careful with his words as he showed the benefits that Alex could get by becoming his disciple and at the same time, he informed him how it would be impossible to remove the venom in his body.

'I am willing to acknowledge you as my master as long as you provide me with an Anti Viperdote Pill.'

On the other hand, Alex didn't bother to think much as he directly asked for the Anti Viperdote pill.

As a low-level disciple with no status in the sect, and a body full of venom, Alex didn't have much of an option.

Moreover, with his strength, what use he could be and there was nothing on him other than his life to take from him.

Without the Anti Viperdote pill, he was going to die soon anyway and thus, Alex's line of thoughts was simple as he decided to acknowledge the old man who approached him as master.

As for whether the old man had any thoughts on him, Alex's mind was barely working as he didn't have time to think about all these things. So, he decided to hesitate in agreeing to Leo's request.

[Quasi Divine Knowledge]

….

Loyalty: 60 percent.

…

'Not bad…let's see how much it will increase after I give him an Anti Viperdote Pill.'

With a slight smile on his face, Leo gave Alex the merged pill.
