Chapter 12 Apprenticeship
Xu Nian was stunned for a moment, then didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
Although we've become used to Qiu Yu's behavior.
But experiencing it again still felt so novel.
The elders are vying for people, and you're here bribing your disciples?
Moreover, they even used sweet potatoes as bribes?
Talent!
Xu Nian didn't notice that Wu Qinghuan behind her frowned.
Her beautiful willow-leaf eyebrows were arched.
She pursed her lips, seemingly somewhat unhappy.
But the strange emotion quickly disappeared, and her exquisitely beautiful face returned to calm once again.
Just as Fairy Qiuyu was trying to take advantage of the chaos to leave with Xu Nian.
The sect leader has noticed what's here.
"Xiao Qiuyu, it's not good to secretly take people away."
As soon as the voice fell, the two people who had already reached the door could no longer take another step forward.
The air inside the hall seemed to freeze.
Many disciples and elders froze in their tracks.
Peak of the Dao Integration Realm!
This is the strength of the number one person below the Tribulation Transcending Realm!
The sect leader has been cultivating Taoism for two hundred years.
Compared to those ancient monsters in the Dao Integration Realm who have lived for hundreds or thousands of years.
The sect leader is already considered exceptionally gifted.
In two hundred years, they have completed the path that other experts of the same level took a thousand years to complete.
Throughout the entire world, there are some monsters that live in seclusion.
Even the sect leader himself could be ranked in the top ten.
This solidified the Sword Sect's position as one of the four major sects of the immortal realm.
Although it's not number one, it's definitely a top-tier sect.
"Alright, everyone, please state the conditions you can offer, and let the child choose for himself."
The sect leader's voice was gentle.
There was a faint smile on his face.
Although he didn't speak, Xu Nian could feel his goodwill.
Fake!all fake!
If I were to become this old man's disciple, my future would surely be miserable.
He might not have improved his cultivation level much before he had to handle sect affairs for him.
Xu Nian was reborn, not to be a beast of burden.
So I completely ignored it.
"The given conditions..."
After pondering for a while, the head of the Punishment Hall looked at Xu Nian and spoke in a somber tone.
"You can use the resources you need before you reach the Nascent Soul stage, but I won't be able to afford them after you reach the Nascent Soul stage. You'll have to take on missions and get the resources yourself then. If you behave well, the position of hall master will be yours in the future."
He could sense that Xu Nian was perfectly suited to follow his own path.
The way of killing and conquest is the great way.
There are countless pathways to unblock meridians.
The two are of the same type of Dao.
Xu Nian smiled but didn't say anything.
This hall master is a complete battle maniac, even a cultivator like myself who specializes in killing has a headache.
Practicing every single day, who can stand it? Just thinking about it gives me a headache.
“Junior brother, you should know about the Pill Hall. It may not be able to guide you too much in terms of cultivation, but it has many resources and you can also learn the art of alchemy.”
Senior Sister Dantang smiled broadly.
Her beautiful eyes were fixed on Xu Nian.
He nodded secretly in his heart.
He is indeed handsome.
No wonder Junior Sister Ling'er likes this boy.
I can't help but feel a fondness for myself.
But aren't this child and the child behind them... a little too close?
There shouldn't be anything between these two, right?
Next, the other elders on the field spoke in turn.
Many extended olive branches to Xu Nian.
Of all the people in the hall, Xu Nian was almost the most talented.
Why say "almost"?
Because there is someone with even greater talent than him.
That was the small, thin figure standing beside him, who hadn't said a word.
But that child…
He has a fierce appearance.
If we rashly accept him as a disciple, we are very likely to suffer a backlash.
Everyone just wanted to find a promising talent, preferably someone who could inherit their teachings.
I'm not looking to die.
So even though Wu Qinghuan was more talented, no one wanted to take him in.
No one invited me.
As for the other disciples…
We can only wait until we invite Xu Nian before extending the invitation.
The disciples grew increasingly envious.
Xu Nian pondered for a moment, then laughed heartily, "Thank you for the invitation, seniors and sisters. I have already made my decision."
After he finished speaking, he looked at Fairy Qiuyu.
"Senior sister, I wish to join the Xiaoyao Peak lineage."
As soon as the voice fell, everyone on the field was stunned.
You know, Qiu Yu, that silly and simple-minded person, didn't mention their conditions.
The other elders were practically bleeding money out of their pockets to give them benefits.
The autumn rain stuffed a sweet potato into my stomach.
Does this kid like to eat sweet potatoes?
No way.
How much is a sweet potato worth?
One spirit stone could buy so many sweet potatoes!
Is this guy an idiot?!
Fairy Qiuyu was also a little confused and paused for a moment.
Happy smiling.
"Alright, let's go, let's go up the mountain with Senior Sister."
He was about to pull Xu Nian away.
Xu Nian added, "But I have one condition."
He turned to look at Wu Qinghuan behind him.
"My junior brother Qinghuan and I are like brothers. I hope that senior sister will accept us both into Xiaoyao Peak."
"It's easy to talk about."
Qiu Yu breathed a sigh of relief, thinking it was something serious.
What if I have to give him two sweet potatoes a day?
Then what will I eat?
If it's not about food, then it's not a big deal.
She glanced at Xu Nian, then at Wu Qinghuan.
Nod.
They all look very good.
This meets Master's requirements.
She has great talent.
This is the icing on the cake.
"Alright, let's go, I'll take you up the mountain."
After they finished talking to each other, they left.
The many elders inside the main hall were left bewildered in the wind.
The master of the penal hall was dumbfounded.
He glanced at the direction the three had left in, then looked at the sect leader.
"Real people, they, they just left like that?"
The sect leader was also somewhat helpless.
He had been subtly signaling to Xu Nian that he wanted to take her as his personal disciple.
He behaved very mildly.
Bah, he was a good person to begin with, and very gentle by nature.
There's no need to make a special effort to show it off.
But Xu Nian acted as if she didn't notice anything and completely ignored her.
When the elders were stating their conditions, he also offered his own resources.
But Xu Nian still didn't care.
In the end, they surprisingly chose the Xiaoyao Peak lineage.
"Oh well, so be it..."
The sect leader seemed somewhat tired and waved his hand.
I feel powerless.
Why is my junior sister so lucky?
Unable to emerge from seclusion, he asked his disciples to take on new apprentices on his behalf.
They were able to take in two such powerful prodigies.
The other elders tried their best to persuade him, but he didn't even look at them.
On the contrary, Qiu Yu handed over a sweet potato, and the girl took a liking to it.
"What kind of mess is this..."
The sect leader became increasingly speechless as he thought about it, and shook his head.
What a pity.
The other elders were also helpless.
But no way.
The sect leader's junior sister, the peak master of Xiaoyao Peak, Qingyue Zhenren.
A powerful expert at the Dao Integration Realm.
They're not someone to be trifled with.
It's good that they didn't bring them back to the mountain; we could still try to steal some.
If we bring it back to the mountain, then there's absolutely no chance.
This guy has a terrible temper; he's the type who'll start a fight at the drop of a hat.
If a fight really breaks out, even the sect leader might not be able to stop it.
It's better to give up.
Just right.
Aside from this one, the other elders might not be able to keep that fierce-looking disciple in check.
