Chapter 174 - Guild Recruitment Center
Xiao Fang, Xiao Hei, and Li Xiang visited the Guild Recruitment Center. It was a bit inconvenient living in different class residential zones, so the first thing he wanted to do was to find a place where he could live with Xiao Hei.
Li Xiang was already a part of the Li Family Guild, so she only tagged along to hang out with Xiao Hei and to help them find a good guild to join.
...
Just like the Trial Pod pagoda, the Guild Recruitment Center had 4 floors.
> 1st floor: Small groups
> 2nd floor: Large groups
> 3rd floor: Minor guilds
> 4th floor Major guilds

1st floor: Small guilds
The first floor was crowded with disciples from different classes, each trying to recruit others into their group to do specific missions.
Since Xiao Fang was a Phoenix Class disciple, he immediately attracted a lot of attention, but no one approached him because they didn't think they had no shot in recruiting him. Xiao Hei and Li Xiang on the other hand got many offers.
Li Xiang was doing fine telling them that she wasn't interested, Xiao Hei, however, was struggling to say no.
Xiao Fang sighed then turned around.
"Fei Lin, aren't you coming," he said.
The girls around Xiao Hei froze when they heard his voice. Xiao Fang wasn't trying to scare them, it was simply because he was a Phoenix Class disciple that they were afraid to offend him.
"Un!" Xiao Hei said as she skipped over to Xiao Fang's side.

2nd Floor: Large groups
The disciples here were all trying to group up to get a cheaper price for entering the Ancestral Training Grounds. However, unlike the 1st floor, the 2nd floor was organized by elders.
The disciples that came here would have to state their cultivation, class, and floor preference before they could be put into a group. The elders did their best to match the disciples as closely as possible, but since there were so few Phoenix Class disciples, they would usually be put into a Tiger Class team.
However, such an occurrence was rare since most disciples would rather group up with guild members. So, only disciples who couldn't get accepted into guilds were here.

3rd floor: Minor Guilds
Compared to the other 2 floors, this one wasn't nearly as noisy, and there weren't any elders supervising it.
"Wow, so many guilds," Xiao Hei said.
"It's actually pretty easy to start your own guild as long as you can amass a following and if you have the merit points to spare," Li Xiang said.
As Xiao Fang and the girls were heading to the next staircase, someone from the Li Family clan spotted Li Xiang.
'Huh? What is Li Xiang doing here?' The Li Family Guild recruiter wondered.

4th floor: Major Guilds
When Xiao Fang opened the door, he sensed a beautiful young disciple standing behind a counter only a few meters away from him. Her eyes widened when she saw him, but her shock deepened after she saw the Phoenix embroidered on his robe.
"So it's true..."
Li Xiang and Xiao Hei didn't know why Xiao Fang stopped moving, so they peaked around him to see what was going on. What they saw was a Snake-Class disciple with sky-blue coloured nails standing on the other side of the counter. Neither Xiao Hei nor Li Xiang knew who she was, but it was clear that she recognized Xiao Fang.
Xiao Fang suddenly walked up to her then leaned over the counter, making her take a step back.
"It's nice to see you again, Rong Shi."
"Un, it's nice to see you too..." she replied, stopping herself before she could say his name. "I hear you go by the name 'Long Wang' now. I wonder how you came up with that one," she smirked.
"It must've came to me in a dream. A dream about a girl with beautifully painted nails."
"A dream, huh. Was the girl in your dream pretty?"
"You can say that."
Xiao Fang gently took her hand. Feeling his hand on hers made her blush. Such an act was taboo between a man and woman if they weren't already married or at least engaged, but they've done much more than just holding hands before, so she didn't pull her hand away when she felt his. She felt good from it and wished he could touch more.
Xiao Fang continued to flirt with Rong Shi. The sexual connotation in their words made it painfully obvious to anyone listening that they were more than just acquaintances.
Suddenly, Li Xiang cleared her throat and tugged on Xiao Fang's sleeve before walking in front of him.
"Rong Shi, is it? My name is Li Xiang. We came here to join a guild, could you help us find one?"
Rong Shi was having such a good time talking to Xiao Fang she completely forgot about her job.
"Yes, of course. The Major guilds listed behind me are the guilds looking for new recruits."
The board Rong Shi was referring to listed 3 major guild names. They were:
- White Jade guild
- Spring Flower guild
- Silent Phantom guild
"If there's a guild you would like to join then I can take you to meet one of their representatives, but if you can't decide then I can submit you to be auctioned to them," Rong Shi explained.
Li Xiang's eyes sparkled when she saw the White Jade guild listed on the board. It was rare to see them looking for new guild members, so this was a great opportunity to get into the best major guild in the inner court.
"Long Wang, you have to try to get into the White Jade guild, they're definitely one of the best. The unique technique they possess is one of the most sought after technique in the sect," Li Xiang said excitedly.
Xiao Fang didn't care too much about the technique they possessed, no matter what it was he knew his [ Solid Clone ] technique would be better.
It was clear that Xiao Fang wasn't impressed, so Rong Shi was going to try to convince him as well, but he stopped her before she could.
"Alright, I'll meet with them first."
