These words made Shuqi feel somewhat uneasy, yet she could sense the genuine goodwill the Fifth Elder was directing toward her. In the end, she nodded and agreed to join Medicine King Valley, deciding to leave the matter of whether she would become the saintess for another time.
Standing nearby, Mei Landu took in everything with mixed feelings. At first, he had hoped to enter the same sect as Shuqi, but that was clearly out of the question now. Still, judging by the Fifth Elder's attitude toward her, she should do quite well in Medicine King Valley moving forward.
Thus concluded the once-in-a-century sect recruitment. Those with lesser qualifications eventually chose to join various sects among the Five Great Sects according to their own preferences. Though they would not be direct disciples, becoming ordinary members of a major sect was still a decent outcome for them.
