Transmigrated as Investment Banker in Cultivation world

Chapter 11: joining the North River sect



Emilia looked at David worriedly. She felt he was too innocent for his own good.

The upper city was a ruthless place for young and innocent people like him. After all, only she knew how she had survived when she was still a frail youth.

Her destiny only changed when she awakened her Crystallisation of Life.

She had received a total of 40,000 spirit stones from David. If not for her refusal, he would have given even more spirit stones.

David looked a little sad after her repeated rejections and muttered something that wasn't audible to Emilia.

"Please take care of yourself, sir."

With those words she expressed her gratitude and left.

David looked at her receding figure blankly, not caring about the grand building in front of him.

"Dammn, if only I had more spirit stones."

"That bastard Bryan! if he hadn't come that day, I would have even more money for yoloing."

David was pretty sure he was not going to meet any such talented individuals on a daily basis.

Right now his feelings were just like an investor who had missed a bull market.

Whatever. He will have even more chances in the future.

"Get out of the way, you moron!"

David suddenly heard the sound of something coming in his direction at a fast speed, instinctively he sidestepped.

Nyihhh! Huff!

A carriage pulled by demon horses zipped past him. If he hadn't moved when he heard the warning…..

David finally realized he was standing in the middle of a road that led to the huge building in front of him.

He hurriedly moved to the walkway and looked at the stunning scene before him.

A tall building with an even more tall gate was situated beside a serene river.

Pointed arches and humongous windows gave the place a noble air.

This building was the headquarters of NorthRiver Sect.

Rows of people dressed in flowing navy blue robes entered and exited the place in large numbers.

David followed them and entered inside. He found himself in a large hall filled with people sitting and doing their own things.

Some were chatting, while some were eating their food.

"Have you heard about the genius from the Rising Sun Empire?"

"Who gives a shit about that pipsqueak."

"Take this money and bring a bottle of wine for me."

The atmosphere was extremely wild.

They were drinking and chatting happily.

David noticed a girl with the word help written in front of her desk.

He hurriedly walked in her direction and cleared his throat before speaking.

"Ahem! I want to join the North River Sect."

The girl ignored his words and didn't even look at him. She pointed to the rows of chairs to the left of her desk and said in a plain voice.

"Wait here."

Shaking his head he went to one of the chairs and sat down.

He was furious, David absolutely hated it when he wasn't taken seriously.

Sigh!

David shook his head and cleared his head of useless thoughts. He looked here and there to kill time.

After some time a boy, roughly twenty years old, arrived at the girl's desk and repeated the same words that he had spoken a moment ago. And just like the last time the reaction of the girl was the same.

He came to the side and sat down. And,

after one hour there were at atleast twenty people beside him sitting on the chair.

When people started to get anxious, an elder dressed in a navy blue robe arrived. He scanned all the people present with a sharp gaze.

David felt a sudden pressure weighing down on his shoulders when the elderly man looked at him. He could only relax when the man shifted his gaze away from him.

"Anyone above 20 percent contamination, raise your hand?"

The elder announced in a loud voice.

Of the twenty people present, roughly 10 to 11 raised their hands.

"Move to the side and leave."

The elder nodded at them and announced in a plain voice without any emotion.

The people who had raised their hand were shocked by the sudden words of the elder. After all, they have come here with hopes, and dreams not to be suddenly rejected.

"Elder Milke, I was told by my father about your great name. Please accept this token of appreciation from him."

At this time a youth dressed in luxurious clothing suddenly spoke. He bowed and handed the elder a pouch.

After receiving the pouch, the elder looked at the youth approvingly and signalled him to join the group which was allowed to stay.

The luxuriously dressed youth thanked the elder and looked at the people present with a disdainful gaze.

And for the rest of the people, no matter how much they begged, they were not allowed to stay.

"Congratulations,everyone. Welcome to the North River Sect."

The elder suddenly smiled and spoke in a cheerful voice. His face, which was filled with wrinkles, looked especially hideous when he smiled.

"Just like this, I have joined."

David muttered with an unbelievable expression on his face. Considering that he didn't find a single clue about the cultivation technique, he thought joining an organization was going to be a seriously challenging task.

The luxuriously dressed youth seemed to have noticed David's reaction and spoke in a haughty tone.

"They don't want to give techniques to the people with high levels of contamination."

David quietly listened to his words and waited for him to elaborate.

Although David didn't understand the meaning of the boy's words, he just nodded. He didn't want to appear ignorant.

He seriously lacked in the information department.

"Hmmmph! Enough chit-chatting."

"Now, follow me to get your cultivation technique."

After saying these words, the elder started to walk.

They moved deeper inside the building, and elders started to explain the rules and regulations about the sect.

"Although the joining process is lax, don't expect us to feed you with a silver spoon."

"You will have to work for the sect and contribute."

The elder continuously spoke for half an hour without stopping, familiarising them with ins and outs of the sect.

After some time they finally stopped in front of a huge hall that was filled with bookshelves to the brim.
