Talent Swallowing System

Chapter 775 Recruiter Declan

Even though Leo received the announcement from [Heaven's Voice], he was not excited about it despite being congratulated by [Heaven's Voice].

[Congratulations on triggering a Hidden Mission [Foundation Refiner]. Refine 100 foundation establishment pills 100 times without a single failure in between].

The reason was, Leo didn't get any rewards; instead, he would take who knows how long to complete the Hidden Mission and get the rewards from it.

'I still need 89 Lunar Pearls and as for the other ingredients, I can easily get them with the help of the Old Manager from the Infinite Treasures Pavilion.'

The only thing that stopped Leo from refining the Foundation Establishment Pills was none other than the Lunar Pearls.

'It looks like I have to enter the Dark Moon Forest much sooner than I imagined.'

Even though Leo was disappointed with [Heaven's Voice] this time, it didn't mean he won't be completing the mission.

Instead, Leo could tell that the reward from this mission would be quite good and he wanted to get it and become more powerful.

And the only way, Leo could get his hands on the Lunar Pearls was from the Dark Moon Forest and if he used his presence as a Golden Core Realm Cultivator, it would only make him garner more attention from the powerful cultivations which Leo didn't want to have in his current situation.

'Anway, I will take my time and enter the Dark Moon Forest.'

Leo knew that he had to enter the Dark Moon Forest sooner or later as he could do so many things and gain so many resources which could make him more powerful.

Soon, Leo refined the last set of ingredients belonging to the Foundation Establishment Realm and checked the total number of pills he had accumulated.

1) Mid-level Foundation Establishment Pills x 220.

2) High-level Foundation Establishment Pills x 130.

3) Top-level Foundation Establishment Pills x 9.

'I can give three Top-level Foundation Establishment Pills to Little One, Little Two and Little Three and let them break through to the Foundation Establishment Realm as soon as they perfect their Qi-refinement.'

Among his disciples, the first three ones were closer to the Foundation Establishment Realm and decided to help them break through and as for letting them join the Lunar Sect, Leo didn't have any plans regarding that.

'When they breakthrough, I will keep their breakthroughs a secret and nurture them to the Golden Core Realm and shock the entire world.'

Of course, Leo won't do that unless he was confident in his strength; otherwise, he would plan accordingly depending on the situation.

"Since it's already night, I will start refining new pills tomorrow."

Leo had refined the Foundation Establishment Pills eleven times back to back and he felt a little tired as his Mind Power was less than 10 percent.

Hence, he decided to rest for the day and repeat today's schedule; however, instead of refining the Foundation Establishment Pills, Leo decided to refine a new type of pill.

….

The next day, as soon as he woke up, Leo merged the items he decided to merge without wasting any time.

….

100 low-level spirit stones → 10 mid-level spirit stones (10 slots).

100 mid-level spirit stones → 10 high-level spirit stones (10 slots).

100 high-level Foundation Establishment Pills → 10 top-level Foundation Establishment Pills.

…

'Store the high-level spirit stones away, keep mid-level spirit stones for giving to my followers and the disciples who broke through to Foundation Establishment Realm and who will break through soon.'

'As for the top-level Foundation Establishment Pills, I will use them to make those Qi-refinement disciples breakthrough to the Foundation Establishment Realm.'

Leo sorted out the items and then focused on refining the Barrier Breaking Pills.

Barrier Breaking Pills are the pills that help the Foundation Establishment Realm Cultivators break through a single level and by repeated consumption of them, they could break through a maximum of three levels in the Foundation Establishment Realm.

And with the help of his [Fundamental Merge], Leo believed that he could make so good Barrier Breaking Pills that let the Foundation Establishment Realm breakthrough more than three levels…at least that's what Leo believed when he was buying the ingredients for the Barrier Breaking Pills.

'Let's begin the refinement of the Barrier Breaking Pills.'

'Swoosh'

In the next second, Leo started working on it.

Compared to the Foundation Establishment Pills, refining the Barrier Breaking Pills was quite easy and was less time taking.

It only took Leo less than 30 minutes to refine a batch of Barrier Breaking Pills; however, Leo didn't stop to merge those pills because he had already used up today's slots for the [Fundamental Merge].

Nevertheless, Leo had intentionally used up all the slots for the [Fundamental Merge] as he wanted to fully focus on pill refining until the slots for the [Fundamental Merge] were reset tomorrow.

'I have to refine, at least, 50 batches of Barrier Breaking Pills by tomorrow morning.'

This was the mini-goal that Leo had set for himself as he worked towards it with full determination.

Time continued to pass and two days passed by in a row as Leo completed refining the 100 batches of Barrier Breaking Pills and walked out of the alchemy room.

Yesterday, he merged the same three items as soon as the Talent came out of the cooldown before resuming the pill refining.

Also, Leo came out of the alchemy room not because he wanted to come; instead, the Recruiter from the Lunar Sect had arrived and Leo didn't have any choice other than to come out to greet him.

"Sect Leader Leo, it's been a while since I saw you and you look as dominating as always."

'Dominating, my a*s.'

Hearing the recruiter's words, Leo could not help but curse under his breath; however, he didn't show any hostile nature on his face.

Instead, he politely smiled and invited him into the Sect Leader's Hall.

"Elder Declan, my sect is not doing very well. I hope you don't mind the hospitality."

Leo said in a low voice and was not worried too much about not serving the recruiter because the current situation of the Twilight Moon Sect was known to everyone.

"Haha…I don't mind and I think you already know the reason why I have come here despite my busy schedule?"

Elder Declan looked as old as Leo; however, he was already a Golden Core Realm Cultivator and could easily live for another couple hundred years even without the help of the life-prolonging treasures.

However, despite having such strength, in the Lunar Sect, he was not valued as much as he was valued outside the sect because he had already reached the potential and unless he encountered a fortuitous encounter, he won't be breaking through to the Nascent Soul Realm anymore in his life.

Thus, he became a recruiter even though he was a Golden Core Realm Cultivator.

"Let's not waste each others' time and get done with the work."

Elder Declan suggested that they should complete the work and go back to their work.

"Gallant, bring Novan here."

Nodding his head, Leo ordered Gallant to bring Novan and Gallant executed the order in no time.

"Child, let me check your foundation."

Elder Declan didn't waste much time as he checked the grade of the foundation and after learning it was a Gold Grade Foundation, he was satisfied.

'It looks like I will get a good reward for bringing him back with me to the sect.'

This was what Elder Declan thought in his head as asked Novan, "Child, are you willing to join the Lunar Sect?"

"I am willing to join the sect as long as the sect fulfils my master's wish."

Initially, Novan wanted to ask for a Golden Core Pill to help Leo break through to the Golden Core Realm; however, after listening to Leo's orders, Novan decided to let his master pick whatever he wanted from the Lunar Sect.

Novan wanted to repay Leo for his kindness and even after joining the sect, he swore to help his master from time to time.

"It will be a little difficult to grant me such a blind wish; however, your master can accompany us to the sect and let him get permission from the sect leader."

Elder Declan frowned for a moment before saying those words.

Elder Declan knew what Leo would be asking for, from the sect; however, he wanted to make it look like giving out a Golden Core Pill was a big deal.

That's the reason why Elder Declan cleverly brought the Sect Leader into the middle despite him having permission to give away a Golden Core Pill.

'It's all for the sake of the disciple to trust the sect that it values him a lot compared to a rundown sect like Twilight Moon Sect that is selling him off for some treasures.'

Elder Declan didn't like the sect leaders like Leo who take in lots of orphans and the moment any one of them showed good cultivation talent, they would readily sell them off to the Lunar Sect without any hesitation.

"Get ready, Sect Leader Leo. Let's go to the Lunar Sect right away and also, don't worry about the sect, in your absence, no one would dare to lay a finger on your run…precious sect."

Elder Declan assured Leo as he urged him to get ready.

"Thank you, Elder Declan."

Leo revealed a slight smile as he didn't expect that he would be visiting the Lunar Sect much sooner than he had expected.

"Please wait a moment, Elder Declan, I have a few things I want to say to my subordinate."
