Chapter 303: Discussion

Twelve years later.

In a stone pavilion on Mount Tianzhu, a male and a female cultivator were sitting by a stone table, tasting tea and chatting.

In the two white jade teacups, the tea was exceptionally emerald-green, fragrant and nose-piercing. At the bottom, a small flat tea leaf was floating in each, turning golden yellow for a while and pale silver for a while, which was exceptionally magical.

"Li Li Shixiong Xuan, I heard that among this batch of newly recruited disciples, another heaven-defying disciple has appeared. Not only is it an Ice Spirit Root, but the spirit root quality has reached the half-step top-grade level.

It is said that the Qinglong lineage and the Xuanwu lineage are arguing endlessly in the Elder Council to fight for this disciple." The woman looked to be twenty-five or twenty-six years old, wearing a pale white long dress, with eyebrows like paintings. After drinking a sip of the tea in the cup, she said to the man opposite with a smile.

"Oh, is there such a thing? The Qinglong lineage doesn't even have a Golden Core ancestor, how dare they fight for disciples with the Xuanwu lineage?" The man looked to be about forty years old, wearing a gray robe, with ordinary features, but his eyebrows were thick like swords. Upon hearing this, he was a bit surprised.

"I have long heard that Li Li Shixiong is determined and calm, focusing on cultivation and ignoring matters outside the window. It is indeed true.

Although the Qinglong lineage does not have a Golden Core ancestor, Uncle-Master Zhang has finally broken through to the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment and entered the late stage of Foundation Establishment. He already has a glimmer of possibility to impact the Golden Core." The white-dressed woman smiled at the man and said.

"I do know about Uncle-Master Zhang's matter, but he must be one hundred and seventy or eighty years old, right? Although he has entered the late stage of Foundation Establishment, if he wants to reach perfection, it will take at least another thirty or forty years at the fastest. Even if there is a way to find life-extending spirit medicine to extend his life for a few decades, I fear he only has one chance to impact the Golden Core. Moreover, his blood and energy have already decayed, so the chance of success is too slim." Li Li Shixiong Xuan shook his head repeatedly upon hearing this.

"Even so, the Qinglong lineage can be considered to have a backer, and fighting for a disciple with the Xuanwu lineage is still not a problem. After all, if the Golden Core does not appear, the late stage of Foundation Establishment is enough." The white-dressed woman replied with a smile.

"That is indeed true. But with this new disciple's aptitude, becoming an inner disciple is naturally no problem, and even obtaining a true disciple status is not without hope." Li Li Shixiong Xuan nodded.

"It was indeed so before, but after our sect moved to Jingzhou, the resources our sect can obtain have decreased significantly. It is estimated that supporting one more true disciple is unlikely, unless there happens to be a newly vacant true disciple spot." The young woman disagreed, however.

"I remember that Lin Lin Shijie Min has already exited the true disciple list and become an inner sect elder because she is over sixty and still has not broken through to the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment. Doesn't this just happen to vacate a true disciple spot?" Li Li Shixiong Xuan thought for a while and said.

"As for Lin Lin Shijie Min's true disciple spot, this child should not think about it. It has long been internally decided. The General Affairs Hall should announce this news in these two days." The white-dressed woman said with a light laugh.

"There is such a thing? Not many people can internally decide a true disciple. Could it be that this new true disciple is related to the three ancestors of our sect again?" Li Li Shixiong Xuan revealed a look of astonishment.

"This new true disciple is not related to the three ancestors of our sect, but is connected to the Thousand Bamboo Sect side." The white-dressed woman sighed.

"Thousand Bamboo Sect? Could it be that matter of interaction and exchange between the disciples of the two sects?" Li Li Shixiong Xuan immediately thought of something again.

"Not bad, it is precisely this matter. The two sects have been pushing this matter for over ten years, and now it has finally reached the level of true disciple interaction and exchange." The white-dressed woman said indifferently.

"In that case, this new true disciple of our sect should happen to be suitable for learning some powerful cultivation technique of the Thousand Bamboo Sect." Li Li Shixiong Xuan began to ponder.

"That is indeed the case, but the specific situation will have to wait until the General Affairs Hall announces it before we can find out. But besides the true disciple spot handed over by Lin Lin Shijie Min, it seems there is another Junior Brother's true disciple spot that might not be guaranteed either." The white-dressed woman nodded slightly, but her words suddenly turned.

"Another person? Does Liu Shimei mean that Junior Brother Wang who is at the Qi Refinement stage?

"That shouldn't be the case, right? Although ordinary disciples are unaware, who in the upper echelons of the sect doesn't know that this Wang Shidi is a nominal disciple of Uncle-Master Tianchan? Once he establishes his foundation, he could become a true personal disciple of a Golden Core ancestor." Brother Xuan shook his head again, looking as if he did not believe it at all.

"This Junior Brother Wang has been ranked as a true disciple for over ten years, but it is said that he has not even cultivated to the Qi Refinement perfection realm, so he has never impacted the Foundation Establishment realm once.

Although our sect does not stipulate that true disciples must become Foundation Establishment cultivators before a certain age, all previous true disciples had reached Foundation Establishment before the age of thirty. This Junior Brother Wang Yu has already broken this record. After all, with the resource supply of a true disciple, if one cannot reach Foundation Establishment before the age of thirty, it is indeed a bit unjustifiable.

And this Junior Brother Wang has not appeared in front of people since becoming a true disciple. Fortunately, he is still an artifact refiner, and the contribution point tasks that must be completed every year are all replaced by refined artifacts. Otherwise, someone would have already asked him to hand over the true disciple position.

Now, it is estimated that the patience of some interested people has run out, and they are preparing to join forces to force him to hand over the true disciple position." The white-dressed woman said lightly.

"Join forces to force? These people are quite bold. Are they not afraid of offending Uncle-Master Tianchan?" Li Li Shixiong Xuan rubbed his short beard and suddenly sneered.

"It is said that after Junior Brother Wang became a true disciple, he never went to Uncle-Master Tianchan's cave dwelling, and Uncle-Master Tianchan never summoned him again.

And I heard that the reason this Junior Brother Wang Yu was accepted as a named disciple by Uncle-Master Tianchan while still at the Qi Refinement stage was because he once saved Liu Shimei Ximen's life." As the white-dressed woman spoke, a strange look appeared on her face.

"No wonder. Liu Shimei Ximen's quiet departure back then caused quite a stir in the sect." Li Li Shixiong Xuan muttered, his expression also somewhat strange.

"It is best if you and I don't discuss Liu Shimei Ximen's matter deeply. But the fact that this Junior Brother Wang is not valued by Uncle-Master Tianchan is nine times out of ten true, so those people intend to take away his true disciple status." The white-dressed woman said so.

"How do these people intend to take it away?

As far as I know, there are only two ways to take away the status of other true disciples. One is for the Elder Council and the Sect Master to discuss and pass it, and then report it to the Golden Core ancestor to issue a decree personally. Even if this Junior Brother Wang is not valued by Uncle-Master Tianchan, he is still his named disciple, so this path will definitely not work.

Then only the last method remains: let other disciples of the same realm challenge this Junior Brother Wang. If they can win, Junior Brother Wang Yu probably won't have the face to remain in the true disciple ranks." Li Li Shixiong Xuan spoke as if talking to himself.

"That is indeed the case. As far as I know, those people intend to use this method. However, Junior Brother Wang is only at the Qi Refinement stage, so they can only find Qi Refinement disciples to take action." The white-dressed woman replied with a smile.

"Hehe, if you put it that way, there really will be a good show to watch.

As far as I know, although this Junior Brother Wang Yu's cultivation aptitude is ordinary, he was known as the number one person in Qi Refinement back then. If they want to find other Qi Refinement disciples to defeat him, I fear they will have to use some special means." Li Li Shixiong Xuan also laughed dumbly. ===== CHAPTER 304 =====
