BXBX NOVEL Chapter 459 Underestimated
Not even mentioning cultivating the sixteen major flux points, even if he cultivated all the remaining flux points in one breath and reached the great circle of flux expert realm, it wouldn’t be any problem for him.
If not for the lack of flux binding pills and time, he would’ve cultivated to great circle in one shot and become a great flux expert.
Naturally, any other ordinary flux expert would’ve done so had they been in Li Yunmu’s situation. But anyone who had foresight would never do that. After all, how could someone who hadn’t cultivated all one hundred and eight flux points accomplish anything?
Li Yunmu also wasn’t any exception. If he didn’t cultivate all the one hundred and eight flux points, his purpose for descending would be completely lost.
After contemplating the offer for a time, Li Yunmu bluntly asked, "What do you want me to do and what do I need to obtain from the sect?"
"After you have successfully infiltrated the Origin God Sect and become a formal disciple, you will be offered a test by us, Underground Serpent. If you pass it, you will obtain the qualifications to join our organization and become a member," An shared her intentions while watching Li Yunmu.
"What?"
He had never expected that she would actually recommend him to be added as a member of Underground Serpent. But this instantly raised a question about what benefits would that give him.
After careful thought, Li Yunmu became aware that this would be an enormous benefit to him. After all, Underground Serpent was a first tier organization of the Origin World. In fact, it was even well-known among the first tier organizations. So who could dare to refuse this enormous opportunity to rise to heaven in one shot?
As the saying goes, entering a large organization was like getting a shade of a large tree under which a small plant could grow up in peace.
After all, as long as he remained by himself, then even if it wasn’t pleasant to hear, he would most likely be turned into dust in the Origin World. It didn’t matter how talented he was in such a situation.
Talent wasn’t considered as anything important in this world, for there was no lack of talents but rather a lack of powerhouses!
Only those who had matured and become powerhouses themselves would obtain respect in this boundless world. As for those talents who got washed out, they weren’t considered as anything else but dregs.
But if Li Yunmu accepts the offer, his freedom would be restricted. After all, there was no free lunch in this world, abd for every benefit he would need to pay a price.
"What will I have to do after that?" he asked without giving any specific answer.
"You’ll need to work hard to become a core disciple of Origin God Sect and obtain the sect’s confidence. After that, you’ll need to investigate an ancient item. If you are successful, then your position in our organization will immediately rise."
An paused for a moment, then spoke up against as if having just remembered something. "Oh, I forgot. Because the main headquarters considers this matter as very important, if you agree, then as long as you can enter the sect, you will become silver ranked member. And if you manage to accomplish this mission, you will be upgraded to a gold ranked member."
Iron, silver, gold, platinum, black gold—these were the five classes in which all members of Underground Serpent were classified, just like the clients. Li Yunmu being granted silver rank from the start could actually be considered as a high starting point.
But he was convinced that there was definitely no free lunch in this world. Then why was the little miss in front of him giving him such a huge opportunity?
"How could your organization have so much confidence in me, so casually taking me in as a member?" Li Yunmu asked calmly. Without completely figuring everything out, then even if the benefits provided by Underground Serpent were even more enormous, he still wouldn’t casually make a decision.
But in truth he was just making a final stand. From the moment An informed him about the matter of Underground Serpent spying on Origin God Sect, he had already known that he didn’t have any choice. Those that were weak didn’t have the right to choose, but he still wanted to know why Underground Serpent was willing to gain a new member so casually. He couldn’t believe that a first tier organization would be so easy-going.
"Very simple, you are an outsider. Our organization places great importance on outsiders with potential."
An smiled, but her words struck Li Yunmu like twelfth grade thunder. Although he had a feeling that the identity and origin of descenders wasn’t concealed from Underground Serpent, it was still a shock to hear it said so straightforwardly. His suddenly exposed identity made him feel as though someone had grabbed his weak spots.
"Moreover, after our observation the past couple days, you have been found to be the outsider with the most potential, one at least several times higher than of the group of people you asked us to investigate.
"In addition, you have been an excellent client of our branch, so we decided to recommend you for this opportunity,"An said with a hint of sincerity.
Li Yunmu somewhat understood her intentions. It seemed like the branch of Whale Island had recommended him with a hint of goodwill so that he could become a new member of their branch.
"Does Underworld Serpent also accept other outsiders?" he asked with some curiosity.
"Obviously. Outsiders who are willing and are qualified are absorbed by the organization. After all, apart from being members of our organization, they are also valuable clients," An explained.
"If the relationship between outsiders is that of mortal enemies, then how would the organization deal with this issue?" Li Yunmu asked the most crucial question.
"That’s none of our concern. We would allow them to settle their issues and keep the victor."
"Alright then, I agree."
Finally, Li Yunmu gave his consent. He had gained a little understanding about Underworld Serpent’s inner workings. Frankly speaking, it was similar to an enormous multinational corporation. The nature of relationship between members and the organization wasn’t unilateral, but somewhat collaborative.
That being said, this organization didn’t care about Li Yunmu’s origins. It seemed like it didn’t place much importance on the threat of other worlds and thus dealt with descenders casually.
Given Underworld Serpent’s attitude, Li Yunmu could guess the attitude of the peak powers of the Origin World toward the descenders. Previously, he had been afraid that if his identity as descender was revealed, the consequences would be grave. But clearly, this was just his narrow worldview.
He was like a frog in a well which had never seen the world. He was someone who believed that he possessed a precious treasure which needed to be concealed, but in reality, that precious treasure wasn’t anything special when placed in the vast world. At least it wasn’t a treasure which people would care about.
Li Yunmu had obtained the general disposition of the upper echelons of Origin World, but it didn’t include the sects like Blue Moon Sect. Because of that, it was better for him to conceal his identity as a descender if he wanted to remain safe.
Naturally, only Li Yunmu knew that although the gigantic organization possessed enormous power, it still underestimated him. Since he needed to find the shade of a large tree, it didn’t matter to him whether he gained it by choice or not. Regardless of how many benefits the large tree provided, he himself would decide what to do with it.
Like that, Li Yunmu convinced himself about his decision. He also didn’t have many problems with the recommendation to enter the Underworld Serpent. He would blend among its ranks until necessary like a viper.
