Chapter 69: The Exchange Student Program

The Sound Saint Inheritance is practically tailor-made for Sound Cultivators, and it would be of little significance even if that group from the Soul Hall obtained it.

However, Xiao Han had not expected that the Sound Saint would not even leave behind any experience on becoming a Saint for future generations; this is truly quite laid-back!

"Then why are you telling me these things?"

Xiao Han was a bit unhappy at this moment; he had originally thought there might be something to look forward to, but now the Sound Saint Inheritance was gone...

Life is not easy, Xiao Han sighed!

"On behalf of Sound Valley, I agree to grant Langya Pavilion Disciples the qualification to go and contemplate the Sound Saint Inheritance. I wonder what you think of this?"

Tianyin Laoren said with a beaming smile.

"Pah!"

"My Langya Pavilion Disciples don't even have a single Sound Cultivator; what use do I have for this qualification?"

Xiao Han dismissed this with disdain.

"Sigh, you can't put it that way!" Tianyin Laoren comforted him:

"When the Sound Saint, that old master, conducts the inheritance assessment, he looks at musical talent; your Langya Pavilion Disciples naturally have a chance!"

"Musical talent?" Xiao Han muttered.

Thinking about it this way, there is indeed some potential here!

If it were a pure competition of musical attainment, even if all the people in Langya Pavilion were bundled together, they would not be a match for one Sound Valley Elder.

But talent is not achievement!

Although Langya Pavilion Disciples are not Sound Cultivators, talent is not something one is born knowing; if some people find the right direction, their cultivation can advance by leaps and bounds.

However, apart from the fact that an Alchemist's talent is slightly easier to determine, the vast majority of people just follow the crowd in practicing Dou Qi, and most talents are naturally buried.

A niche cultivation path like music is naturally not the first choice.

It is also because of this that the number of Sound Valley Disciples is extremely small, and most are brought back to the sect for training after Sound Valley Elders or Disciples encounter them by chance while out gaining experience.

However, if Langya Pavilion Disciples possess the qualification to come to Sound Valley for advanced studies, having just one or two would be enough to happen to perfect the Langya Pavilion's cultivation system.

As for passing the assessment to obtain the Sound Saint Inheritance, Xiao Han held absolutely no hope; Sound Valley hasn't been able to find anyone whose talent meets the requirements for so many years, and Langya Pavilion Disciples would succeed just by coming?

Then you would be the most dazzling person on the entire continent!

Perhaps by that time, Tianyin Laoren would likely have to swallow his pride, and even if he had to cling to a powerful figure, he would keep that Disciple.

However, Xiao Han was not aware that Tianyin Laoren was actually concealing something, and this was his reliance for daring to let Langya Pavilion participate.

The Sound Saint Inheritance is a typical case of "the beginning is the hardest part." As long as someone can open the inheritance, then, aside from the infusion of cultivation, the Dou Techniques and the Sound Saint's musical inheritance will all be fully revealed, provided for all Disciples to contemplate together.

By then, even if a Langya Pavilion Disciple really did obtain the inheritance, their Sound Valley would only have lost a bit of face.

Most of the benefits would still be obtained by their Sound Valley, and at that time, the strength of Sound Valley could definitely surge.

As for whether a Langya Pavilion Disciple obtaining the inheritance would surpass Sound Valley, Tianyin Laoren only expressed a "hehe" at this.

A part-timer who started halfway through competing in skill against professionals who make a living at this—are you joking?

After all, as for Sound Cultivators, they in Sound Valley are the professionals!

Moreover, Tianyin Laoren would not believe that Sound Valley's Disciples would truly be outdone; he had great confidence in his own personal Disciple.

"How many spots can you give my Langya Pavilion?" Xiao Han focused on some more important questions at this moment.

"Five, no more than that!" Regarding this, Tianyin Laoren's attitude was exceptionally firm.

After all, the Sound Valley inheritance cannot be entered casually before it is opened.

Not only does it require consuming a massive amount of resources, but it also requires at least two Half-Saint powerhouses to use secret techniques simultaneously to send people in.

However, now that he has broken through to Dou Saint, naturally he alone is sufficient.

"A few more!" Xiao Han was very dissatisfied; he was still pondering having every Disciple come once, and being able to steal a move or two from Sound Valley would naturally be best!

After all, it's impossible to enter the Inheritance Ruins the moment one arrives at Sound Valley; one must at least study in Sound Valley for a period of time!

Isn't this opportunity coming right up?

"No, entering the inheritance assessment consumes resources, and our Sound Valley is not as wealthy and powerful as your Langya Pavilion."

As Tianyin Laoren said this, he also glanced at Xiao Han; back then, in the battle where Langya Pavilion wiped out the Tianming Sect, who knows how much they had looted from start to finish.

It even made him a bit jealous.

"Ten people, and our Langya Pavilion will cover the extra resources."

Xiao Han waved his hand, not even asking, and made a bid directly.

Fine! The one who pays is the boss.

Tianyin Laoren tearfully earned the resources for five Disciples in his heart; he didn't say that the resources consumed for ten people and five people were the same.

The resources consumed each time to open the ruins and send people in are consistent; it's just that having too many people makes the powerhouse responsible for opening the ruins very tired.

But these extra five people were absolutely nothing to him, a Dou Saint powerhouse!

"The cost of sending valley Disciples in this time has finally decreased."

Tianyin Laoren thought happily in his heart.

He complained only to send fewer people and lighten the burden, but since Xiao Han paid the appearance fee, he must provide attentive service!

It's just that taking benefits like this is a bit unpleasant; better to arrange some packages for those Langya Pavilion Disciples!

Teaching them some things that aren't very important can also be considered fulfilling the intentions of an ally.

"Fine, I'll leave first if there's nothing else."

Xiao Han didn't want to stay in Sound Valley any longer; he had helped with the task and watched the excitement, so naturally, it was time to go.

With this free time, wouldn't it be better to be with Huang'er?

"Then can you help me take someone over when you leave?"

Tianyin Laoren asked.

"Who is it?"

Xiao Han's tone was somewhat unfriendly; did this old man take him for a delivery boy?

At this moment, Tianyin Laoren shouted toward the door: "Xin'er, come quickly and meet your Martial Uncle!"

Hmm...?

Xiao Han looked outside with curiosity, and a graceful girl in red came into view.

"What the..."

Xiao Han looked at the smiling Tianyin Laoren in shock: "This is your Disciple?"

"Naturally!" Seeming very satisfied with Xiao Han's shocked gaze, Tianyin Laoren introduced her quite proudly.

"How is it? Her talent is not bad, right!"

Xiao Han subconsciously sized her up: a Three-Star Dou Zun, under thirty years of age, and considering that Sound Valley requires a massive amount of time to comprehend musical temperament.

All things considered, this aptitude was indeed not bad; if not for Tianyin Laoren breaking through to Dou Sheng with his help, this girl might have been the person in Sound Valley with the most hope of reaching Dou Sheng.

"Tsk tsk tsk..."

After Xiao Han glanced at the slightly shy Xin'er, he withdrew his gaze and said to Tianyin Laoren:

"I never expected an improper old man like you to be able to encounter such a Disciple."

Look at the one before him, how well-behaved and dignified she was, and then compare her to Xiao Wu.

Sigh, thinking of that infuriating face, there really was no comparison!

"You wouldn't be asking her to go to Langya Pavilion with me, would you?"

Tianyin Laoren nodded in agreement: "A few years ago, I had the intention of letting Xin'er go to the Central Plains for experience, but it was delayed by that matter."

Thinking of Yin Xian made Tianyin Laoren a bit angry.

"So, taking advantage of this opportunity, I hope Langya Pavilion can look after her for the time being."

Under normal circumstances, he would certainly want to watch over such an outstanding Disciple personally.

But now that Sound Valley was tied up with affairs, Tianyin Laoren, as the Valley Master, naturally could not leave, so he could only entrust her to Xiao Han.
