Chapter 2

"I don't know how this system conducts comparisons, but regardless, to facilitate things, I must first have a reasonable intersection with that Han Yu."

"Maybe I should just join that Tianjian Peak. Anyway, the inheritance of this Youxian Sect is just a chicken rib to me; it's the same whichever branch I join."

Ji Yanling thought to herself, and at this moment, it was her turn for the talent test.

A talent stele stood on Dengxian Square. Ji Yanling walked up to it, reached out her fair, jade-like hand, and pressed it against it.

Hum hum hum—

The talent stele trembled violently, then erupted with light, and several large characters suddenly appeared.

"Physique: Saint Grade Lower!"

Seeing the brilliant golden characters, the crowd erupted in gasps. The Peak Masters on the seats were all excited, standing up from their chairs with a clang.

"Saint Body! After so many years, my Youxian Sect has finally produced another Saint Body!"

"This girl must join my Tianzhan Peak and fight for the honor of my Youxian Sect!"

"Bullshit, didn't you see she has a fire-attribute physique? She should join my Tianhuo Peak!"

The Peak Masters began to fight over her, each offering various prices to compete for Ji Yanling, the prodigy disciple. Finally, two major winners were decided.

One was Sun Huowang, the Peak Master of Tianhuo Peak, and the other was Zhou Yongxin, the Peak Master of Tiandao Peak. Both offered chips far exceeding the others.

After the internal winner was decided, the two looked eagerly at Ji Yanling, waiting for her counter-selection.

Ji Yanling frowned. She didn't understand why these people were chattering and fighting when she hadn't even spoken. Did they treat this Emperor as merchandise?

She was somewhat dissatisfied, her red lips parted slightly, and she said in a cold voice.

"I want to join Tianjian Peak."

As soon as these words were spoken, the Peak Masters were stunned, especially the two who had offered the highest prices, their eyes filled with confusion.

Zhou Yongxin, the Peak Master of Tiandao Peak, first gave an awkward laugh, then said to himself: "This girl must have made a slip of the tongue, calling my Tiandao Peak Tianjian Peak."

Ji Yanling glanced at him indifferently and repeated again.

"Please listen clearly, I want to join Tianjian Peak, not Tiandao Peak!"

Once these words were spoken, Zhou Yongxin became anxious.

"Girl, the Peak Master of Tianjian Peak has been missing for many years, and now there's only a useless drunkard left. What are you hoping for by joining there?"

"I... I admire the fame of Fairy Mu Bingyao, so I just want to join her Tianjian Peak. If that's not possible, then I won't join the Youxian Sect either."

Once these words were spoken, all the Peak Masters became anxious and began to persuade her.

Who knew that after all their earnest persuasion, Ji Yanling was determined to join Tianjian Peak.

The Peak Masters were speechless.

They thought, what's the meaning of you insisting on going to Tianjian Peak? Who is even at Tianjian Peak?!

Just as the Peak Masters were confused, gasps came from the crowd.

"Wow, who is that person? So handsome and free-spirited, like a banished immortal descending to the mortal world!"

A group of beautiful girls had hearts in their eyes, staring at the figure stepping up the stairs and entering the square, unable to look away for a long time.

They saw that the person was handsome and otherworldly, dressed in white, his black hair flowing freely, looking incredibly free and unrestrained.

He had a wine gourd hanging at his waist, his body swaying as if he would fall to the ground at any moment, but he never did.

"This drunkard came just in time! Let him persuade this girl!"

Seeing Han Yu arrive, Zhou Yongxin, the Peak Master of Tiandao Peak, said in a low voice.

Han Yu had been thinking all the way about how to logically invest in Ji Yanling, and finally reached a conclusion.

The best way was to trick Ji Yanling into joining Tianjian Peak, but how to trick her made Han Yu a bit troubled.

After all, the current Tianjian Peak was extremely declining. Not to mention that she was an Immortal Body that hadn't fully awakened, even a genius without a special physique wouldn't be stupid enough to join.

Just as Han Yu was sighing, Zhou Yongxin, the Peak Master of Tiandao Peak, rushed over in a hurry.

"Drunkard, cough cough... no, that Junior Brother Han Yu, this girl awakened a Saint Body and insists on joining Tianjian Peak. You hurry up and persuade her, don't let her do something stupid!"

"What?"

Hearing this, Han Yu was stunned for a moment. He looked at the girl in red, a flash of amazement appearing in his eyes.

Without anyone introducing her, Han Yu was certain that this girl was the investment target chosen by the system!

Ji Yanling was also sizing up Han Yu. Seeing his physical body with no spiritual energy fluctuations, she couldn't help but smile.

Now she was certain that her system was a gift-giving boy!

"It seems that just as those people said, this Han Yu is indeed a waste. After cultivating for so many years, he hasn't even reached the Qi Refining Realm!"

"Although this Emperor only has the Body Tempering Realm now, that's because this Emperor wants to break through to the Extreme Realm of Body Tempering. Only by breaking through to the Extreme Realm in every realm can I regain the Emperor's throne in the future and suppress all enemies in the world!"

Ji Yanling pondered in her heart. She had only awakened her past life memories a few days ago. According to her abilities, if she wanted to break through to the Qi Refining Realm, she would probably have reached the Qi Refining Ninth Heaven or even the Foundation Establishment Realm by now.

Seeing Han Yu so weak, she was both happy and dissatisfied.

"This system really looks down on this Emperor. With such a weak opponent, this Emperor really has no desire for a challenge. I hope you can help me pick a suitable target next time. Since I have awakened, I have enough confidence to suppress the prodigies of the same generation!"

Ji Yanling was very proud, like a noble phoenix perched only on a parasol tree, unwilling to bow to anyone.

As for Han Yu, he didn't expect Ji Yanling to take the initiative to join Tianjian Peak. Why would he hesitate? He immediately walked up to Ji Yanling and showed a warm smile.

"Hello, girl. My name is Han Yu, the Senior Brother of Tianjian Peak. Welcome to Tianjian Peak. From now on, you are my Junior Sister!"

As the Senior Brother of Tianjian Peak, he had the qualification to accept disciples on behalf of his master, but he could only accept ordinary disciples; only Mu Bingyao herself could accept Personal Disciples.

Hearing Han Yu's words, the Peak Masters were shocked again.

Zhou Yongxin, the Peak Master of Tiandao Peak, trembled all over and scolded with a sullen face.

"Han Yu, what's wrong with you? She's young and ignorant, are you ignorant too?!"

"This is a Saint Body prodigy, the hope of my Youxian Sect. Bringing her to Tianjian Peak isn't that ruining her future!"

Han Yu glanced indifferently at Zhou Yongxin, the Peak Master of Tiandao Peak. Because of the 'Blade-Sword Dispute' between Tiandao Peak and Tianjian Peak, the other party had always looked down on him.

So Han Yu just stretched and said indifferently: "Senior Brother Zhou, as long as these disciples pass the test, it is their freedom to choose which peak or branch to join. If you have any opinions, you can wait for the Sect Master to return and complain to her. If there's nothing else, I'll be leaving."

After Han Yu finished speaking, he took Ji Yanling and left Dengxian Square. Watching their backs, Zhou Yongxin was so angry he gritted his teeth.

"This brat, he just got lucky and was accepted as a Personal Disciple by Uncle-Master Mu, otherwise you wouldn't even have the qualification to talk to me. To actually dare to speak to me like this, it's simply outrageous!"

"Fine, I'll see what you can teach her!"

"If you ruin this little girl's cultivation foundation, when the Sect Master returns, I will definitely make her punish you for failing to nurture talent!"
