    <strong>...</strong>


    The dimly lit room hung heavy with the lingering scent of sweat and blood, a testament to the grueling ordeal Chen Mo had willingly subjected himself to. Slowly, his eyelids fluttered open, revealing eyes that burned with an intensity that belied the strain etched into his features.


    With a grimace, he raised a hand to wipe away the trickle of crimson that had escaped the corner of his mouth, the viscous fluid streaking across his calloused knuckles. Summoning forth his inner consciousness, he delved deep into the recesses of his being, meticulously scanning the intricate tapestry of his cultivation realm.


    A slow, satisfied smile spread across his lips as the results of his arduous efforts became apparent. "I actually got a new job and two new skills," he murmured, his voice tinged with a mixture of pride and relief.


    He thought to himself that although the two skills were still in their sealed state, they were still usable, as for the locked job, it''d be unlocked as long as he reached the required cultivation level.


    Pushing himself to his feet with a grunt, Chen Mo began to stretch his sore muscles, relishing in the subtle burn that spoke of the transformative energies coursing through his mortal vessel. With a flick of his wrist, he summoned forth a fresh set of robes from the depths of his storage ring, shedding the tattered, bloodstained garments that clung to his body like a second skin.


    As the new raiment settled upon his shoulders, a sense of renewal washed over him, a tangible reminder of the endless cycle of growth and rebirth that defined the path of cultivation.


    ''My guess was right,'' he mused, his mind already turning to the intricacies of his newfound power. ''As long as my cultivation is high enough, my skills will upgrade ordingly. But it seems my body is still not yet ready to withstand the full extent of this power.''


    Settling into a lotus position, Chen Mo began to gather the swirling currents of spiritual energy that permeated the air around him, drawing them inward and allowing them to mingle with his own indomitable will.


    He suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.


    ''I forgot that my spiritual roots were already exhausted''


    ''Rasiel, can you try fixing them using [AllOfCreation]''


    Chen Mo let out a small smile, eager to see the capabilities of his newly gained skill.


    [Report] – [I can''t use the skill [AllOfCreation] ]


    ''You can''t? Why not?''


    [Report] – [I don''t have the job [Author] but you should be able to use it]


    Chen Mo thinks to himself that it seemed as though [AllOfCreation] was conscious just like Rasiel, it even attempted to acquire a new job and made apromise when it failed.


    ''Now that I think about it, it failed due to external interference. Could it be...''


    ''Can you use the skill [Parallel Existence]?''


    [Confirm] – [Yes, I can]


    ''It''s just as I thought''


    Just as Chen Mo delved deeper into his contemtions, the wooden door to the chamber burst open with a resounding *bang*, the sudden intrusion shattering the veil of tranquility that had enveloped the space.


    "Master!" Mei Ling''s voice rang out, tinged with urgency as she strode into the room, her features creased with concern.


    Chen Mo''s gaze snapped towards her, his brow furrowing ever so slightly at the abrupt interruption. "What happened?" he inquired; his tone level yetced with an undercurrent of authority.


    Mei Ling''s eyes widened briefly, as if suddenly remembering the impetus for her hasty entrance. "There are many people outside," she replied, her words tumbling forth in a rush.


    Chen Mo blinked, momentary confusion flickering across his features before realization dawned upon him. "Ah, yes," he murmured, a wry smile tugging at the corners of his lips. "I had forgotten that the disciple recruitment was scheduled for today."


    With a graceful motion, he rose to his feet, the lingering traces of fatigue


    seeming to slough off his frame like water upon a duck''s back. Sparing a single, fleeting nce around the chamber, as ifmitting every detail to memory, he turned and made his way towards the exit, Mei Ling falling into step beside him.


    As they traversed the winding corridors of the sect, the sounds of the gathered crowd became more pronounced – a cacophony of murmurs and hushed whispers that swelled into a dull roar, punctuated by the asional burst of raucousughter or heated debate.


    Chen Mo''s lips curved into a faint smile as the mor washed over him, a tangible reminder of the weight his reputation now carried. Word of his exploits had spread like wildfire, igniting the ambitions of countless aspiring cultivators who now flocked to his doorstep, each seeking the opportunity to bask in his tutge and im a sliver of his boundless power for themselves.


    As they emerged into the courtyard, Chen Mo''s gaze swept over the assembled masses, taking in the sea of eager faces that turned towards him with a mixture of reverence and trepidation. Some shifted nervously under his piercing stare, while others met his gaze with a defiant gleam, their eyes burning with the fires of ambition and determination.


    A hush fell over the crowd as Chen Mo raised his hand, the simple gesturemanding an immediate silence that seemed to amplify the weight of the moment. He could sense the collective breath being held, the air itself thrumming with anticipation as they awaited his words.


    With a wave of his hand, he opened the gate and a simple office desk and two chairs materialized in front of him on which him and Mei Ling sat.


    With a slight inclination of his head, he acknowledged the assembled cultivators, his voice ringing out with the rity of a rion call.


    "Let the recruitment begin."
