Chapter 599: Forged Golden Body
That largest mountain peak was the main peak of the Six Strange Peaks, standing three or four thousand zhang tall. Situated among several mountain peaks, it looked like stars surrounding the moon, overlooking other mountain peaks including "Tianquan Peak." (Net) Moreover, this giant peak was shrouded in pale purple mountain fog from the waist down, hazy and full of indescribable mystery.
But at the foot of this mountain peak, it was the opposite, extremely bustling.
Buildings of all sizes were scattered around this mountain, from simple stone houses with only a few rooms to giant halls dozens of zhang tall, as well as many blue stone streets similar to markets, spontaneously forming in a disorderly manner.
On both sides of these streets were some stalls of all kinds, with people calling out to sell something. And there were really many Luoyun Sect disciples walking among them, bargaining with the owners of these stalls.
Such a scene made the seven cultivators including Han Li, who passed through these building streets, stare in amazement.
The young man surnamed Yu was long accustomed to this and ignored it, driving the magic tool and flying past, heading straight for a stone hall standing alone several hundred zhang high.
This stone hall was built entirely of blue giant stones, about twenty or thirty zhang tall, with two smaller side halls six or seven zhang tall on both sides, and a few cultivators flying in and out on the stone platform in front of the hall door.
The young man surnamed Yu lowered the copper bowl and let Han Li and the others step down one by one.
Then he pinched a magic formula, causing the copper bowl to shrink rapidly before putting it into his storage pouch.
"You wait here for a moment; I will go and report to the Sect Master first, and then I will call you in."
After saying this, the young man strode forward without hesitation.
A few Qi Refining stage cultivators at the door obviously knew the young man surnamed Yu and didn't have the slightest intention of stepping forward to question him, instead bowing respectfully to him before watching him enter the hall door.
Only then did the guards size up Han Li and the others who were a bit further away with curious eyes, seeming to have guessed their identities.
After waiting for a while, before anyone called them in, a white light flew from afar.
This escape light converged above the heads of Han Li and the others, revealing a giant brocade handkerchief, on which stood the white-faced young man surnamed Liu and the other four young cultivators who had been taken away a step earlier than them.
The white-faced young man looked down at the seven people below with a look of surprise, but afterward, he ignored them and landed his magic tool nearby, letting the four young people stay in place, while he walked into the stone hall arrogantly.
This made the seven people including Han Li and the four young people with good spiritual root aptitude look at each other in two piles.
I don't know why, but even though they were all disciples joining the Luoyun Sect, the atmosphere was a bit unnatural, and there was even a faint hostility between the two sides.
But as new disciples of the Luoyun Sect, neither side opened their mouths to speak, just waiting quietly in the gloom.
After waiting for the time it takes to eat a meal, the young man surnamed Yu finally walked out from inside. As soon as he appeared at the hall door, he beckoned to Han Li and the others, then turned his head to look at the four young people, saying without hesitation:
"You four come in as well; the Sect Master will meet all the disciples of this batch together." After saying this, the young man turned and walked away.
The two groups of people naturally didn't dare to be negligent and followed him in honestly.
Behind the young man, after passing through a short corridor, Han Li and the others were brought into a hall twenty or thirty zhang large.
Inside, seven or eight cultivators with different expressions were sitting on wooden chairs, talking in low voices.
Upon seeing the young man surnamed Yu bring in the new disciples, they stopped talking, and their gazes "swished" and swept over Han Li and the others.
Han Li looked straight ahead honestly at this time, but after slightly releasing his spiritual sense, the appearance and cultivation of these cultivators all surfaced in his mind.
There was one in the late Foundation Establishment stage, two in the mid-stage, and the rest were early-stage cultivators.
Senior Brother Qiu and the white-faced young man were also sitting among these people.
"Junior Brother Yu, you have worked hard!" The blue-robed cultivator sitting in the main seat, who was in the late Foundation Establishment stage, smiled and waved his hand at the young man.
He was the Sect Master of the Luoyun Sect, Wei Wei Yiming.
This person had an ordinary appearance, with small eyes, as if he were unremarkable, but there was an extremely convincing momentum in his every move, looking like he was not simple.
"Many thanks, Sect Master Senior Brother!"
The young man bowed and sat down on an empty chair nearby without being polite.
At this time, the other cultivators swept their gazes over Han Li and the others, and finally fell on a burly young man among the four young disciples, with a look of enthusiasm in their eyes.
Just as Han Li was surprised by this, the voice of the Luoyun Sect Sect Master rang out in the hall.
"Hmm! It's not bad that we can have these disciples join the sect this time. After all, our sect just recruited a batch a few years ago. Below, let's see how several junior brothers will distribute these disciples. After all, our Luoyun Sect has six peaks, and I'm afraid none of them will think they have too many disciples. Let's start with these seven external affairs disciples."
"Everything is naturally decided by Sect Master Senior Brother. I think Sect Master Senior Brother will definitely make us convinced." An old man with somewhat gray hair twisted his short beard and said extremely politely. But his tone changed, and he immediately said smoothly:
"However, external affairs disciples are one thing. But for internal disciples, our Hidden Sword Peak only recruited two last time. It was less than other mountain peaks. This time, should we give one more to our peak? Let alone other disciples, just give this disciple with the Forged Golden Body to our Hidden Sword Peak to train."
The old man pointed to the burly young man after saying this.
The young man was stunned, revealing a look of surprise.
"Hmph! Your Hidden Sword Peak did indeed take the fewest disciples last time, but one of them was a two-spiritual-root disciple; why don't you mention that? This time, we finally have a disciple with a special spiritual body, so it should naturally be our Fire Cloud Peak's turn." Another middle-aged man with a somewhat pale face couldn't sit still after hearing this and stood up to refute without any politeness.
"Your Fire Cloud Peak is mainly based on fire-attribute cultivation techniques. The disciple with the Forged Golden Body is a natural gold-attribute cultivation technique disciple. Junior Brother Yang, what are you arguing about?" The old man with gray hair shook his head with a sneer after hearing this.
"Just because your Hidden Sword Peak has gold-attribute cultivation techniques, our Fire Cloud Peak's Senior Uncle Li's 'Gold Refining Formula' is famous throughout Xi Kingdom. This disciple practices this cultivation technique, what is wrong with that?" The middle-aged man didn't have the slightest intention of giving way.
"You..."
"Alright. I have heard the meaning of both of you. No need to say any more." Wei Wei Yiming frowned and interrupted the argument between the two.
"That's right. No matter how much the two senior brothers argue, there will be no result. It's better to let Sect Master Senior Brother decide. After all, no matter which mountain peak they are assigned to, this disciple is a disciple of our Luoyun Sect; what is there to argue about?" It was Senior Brother Qiu who persuaded with a light smile.
Hearing this, the old man and the middle-aged man with pale faces looked at each other, but immediately, the old man grabbed the lead and said:
"Senior Brother Qiu's words are reasonable; let Sect Master Senior Brother make the decision. Our Hidden Sword Peak will have no objections."
The other middle-aged man hesitated for a moment after hearing this, and could only say the same thing.
The Luoyun Sect Sect Master's expression relaxed slightly, and after thinking for a while, he looked at Han Li and the other seven people and said calmly:
"This disciple is relatively special, so let's handle it last. Now let's distribute the attribution of other disciples. After all, our Luoyun Sect has six peaks, and I'm afraid none of them will think they have too many disciples. Let's start with these seven external affairs disciples."
An hour later, Han Li and the burly man stood on the giant bowl and followed the young man surnamed Yu to fly back to the so-called Tianquan Peak.
The clothing on their bodies had been changed into the low-level disciple clothing of the blue color. After a division in the hall, he and the other were assigned to Tianquan Peak.
And the young man surnamed Yu didn't seem to have any objections to this. As soon as the distribution ended, he took the two and left the stone hall.
As for the burly young man who was like a fragrant bun, he was unexpectedly assigned to the "Phantom Stone Peak."
Although the gray-haired old man and the middle-aged man from the Hidden Sword Peak were unhappy, they could only recognize it with their noses pinched. Fortunately, they were also assigned two other so-called "internal disciples," so they didn't return empty-handed.
"Although the status of you two joining the sect is only external affairs disciples, being assigned to our Tianquan Peak can be considered your good luck. Because Master is also your Grandmaster, he has always been peaceful and kind to others, and we will not treat you external affairs disciples too harshly. Of course, the tasks assigned to you must still be completed on time. For the rest of the time, you are free. If you have the opportunity to make a great contribution, perhaps Grandmaster will also bestow Foundation Establishment Pills upon you. After all, in name, the treatment enjoyed by external affairs disciples and internal disciples is the same. It's just that the main task of internal disciples is cultivation, and because of your aptitude, you naturally have to work harder on miscellaneous studies such as talisman making and alchemy. Several senior uncles on this peak have very deep attainments in this. You can learn a lot of things from them." Perhaps because Han Li and the burly man were already disciples of Tianquan Peak, the young man was much gentler to the two and began to explain some things that needed attention to them.
