Chapter 7: The Modest Elders

After everyone left, the two lowered their heads and stared at their toes nervously, afraid that Miss Yun Zhi would pursue their intention to cheat.

After a long time, they heard Miss Yun Zhi say slowly.

"I didn't expect that both of you would pass the test and become disciples of my Profound Heaven Sect."

"Both of you ranked at the top in the three tests, especially the third stage, one first place and one second place. Summing it up, your results are the best."

"But this doesn't mean you are the best in this batch. For example, the Ancient Barbarian Man Gu you have seen, the Feathered Immortal Body Tao Yaoye ranked behind you, the Fire Spiritual Root Li Haoran... are all geniuses not inferior to you."

Meng Jingzhou was proud and winked at Lu Yang: "The Feathered Immortal Body is much rarer than a single spiritual root, but the evaluation given by Senior Sister is 'ranked behind us'. This is her valuing us."

Lu Yang helplessly explained: "Senior Sister's meaning should be that when queuing for the first stage, the Feathered Immortal Body was ranked behind us."

"Although you performed well, you cannot be arrogant and complacent. When you officially cultivate, you still need to be down-to-earth and guard against arrogance and rashness."

Hearing Senior Sister's increasingly serious tone, the two hurriedly promised to be diligent and not slack off in their future cultivation.

Seeing that the two's tone didn't seem like perfunctory, Miss Yun Zhi's face softened slightly: "Since you gave me a ride, I will send you an opportunity."

"Meng Jingzhou, you are a Pure Yang Spiritual Root, your blood is full of energy, and you are the nemesis of ghosts. Among the eight elders, the Third Elder is well-versed in this way. You can apprentice under him."

Meng Jingzhou was overjoyed and hurriedly bowed: "Many thanks, Senior Sister."

"Lu Yang, you are a Sword Spiritual Root, a natural sword seed, sharp and unstoppable, with the most powerful attack. The one who is most proficient in sword Dao in this sect is the Master, that is, the Sect Master. You should apprentice under him."

"But Senior Sister, you just said that the Sect Master has never liked teaching disciples..." Lu Yang whispered.

He noticed that what Senior Sister said to Meng Jingzhou was "You can apprentice under him," and what she said to him was "You should apprentice under him," and the meanings contained in them were not exactly the same.

"No matter, I can decide on the apprenticeship." Miss Yun Zhi's understated tone made Lu Yang stunned for a moment, as if saying that even if the Sect Master didn't agree, he had to agree.

"I am just suggesting. Like other disciples, you have a one-month adaptation period. A month later, you decide who to apprentice under."

After saying this, Miss Yun Zhi flew toward Tianmen Peak where the Sect Master was located.

Tianmen Peak, Council Hall.

A clean water mirror was projected in the air. Under the action of magic, the content in the mirror could be seen clearly from any direction. It showed the whole process of the three tests.

Eight figures nodded or shook their heads, sighed or cursed, and had different views on the disciples who passed the test. When they talked to the most intense point, they almost moved their hands to fight.

There had been such a precedent before. Among the eight figures, there were several people of temperament. If they couldn't talk, they would move their hands to fight. Clearly, it was a process of commenting on juniors and selecting disciples, but it finally evolved into acting on temperament, great energy fighting, and opening the eyes of the entire Profound Heaven Sect.

In view of this, the true bodies of the eight figures were not here. Even if they were really anxious, they wouldn't fight.

"This kid Man Gu is not bad. Pure Ancient Barbarian bloodline, his brute force is invincible at the same level, and his mind is simple. This person is just suitable for getting my inheritance."

"It's a pity that he is too simple. The Ancient Barbarians perished precisely because of this. If there is a chance in the future, he can be cultivated with focus."

"What is suitable for your inheritance? My tool-refining sect hasn't had a suitable successor for a long time. Man Gu is focused on doing things. Coming under my sect is the right reason!"

The two elders talked and became anxious, and then... rolled up their sleeves and continued to stare.

Other elders didn't care about these two fools and continued to comment: "Feathered Immortal Body, ten thousand laws cannot invade, flawless and unparalleled, feathered and ascended to immortality. It's really been a long time since I've seen it. Counting the time, when the last Feathered Immortal Body was born, we had just apprenticed into the Profound Heaven Sect."

"It's a pity that the last Feathered Immortal Body cultivated too impatiently. Before becoming famous in the Central Continent, she was impatient to cultivate to the great success of the immortal body, became anxious, and died of illness."

"Sixth Elder, you are the most familiar with the immortal body among us. Perhaps this girl has a fate with you."

"Fire Spirit Root Li Haoran is a good seedling for both pill refining and artifact refining, but his personality is too volatile; he cannot calm his heart. In the third trial, he held his breath and climbed upward, determined to surpass the Seeing Man Gu in the lead. He exhausted his strength too early, and in the end, he was overtaken by others and became the last one to pass the trial."

"As for this Meng family kid and Lu Yang, one is a Pure Yang Spiritual Root, one is a Sword Spiritual Root, both are top-tier good seedlings, and the passing method is also novel, making people sigh in admiration. These good seedlings... Big Brother, why don't you worry about it and take them in?"

"That's right, that's right. You only have Dai Bufan as a disciple now. Dai Bufan is already considered a master, no need to teach anymore. At this time, take in two more geniuses. When they become talented in the future, wouldn't it be another beautiful story?"

"Roll, roll, roll, just know how to avoid the heavy and take the light. Relying on their passing method, once I take them in, don't think about having a peaceful life. I just want to retire peacefully now and be a Supreme Elder. Don't find trouble for me!"

"Second Elder, you take them in?"

"Do you believe I'll take you in first?"

The eight elders were very modest. Facing two single spiritual root geniuses, they didn't have any intention of being moved.

Damn, whoever takes these two in, don't think about having peace for the rest of their lives.

"Eh, look, Miss Yun Zhi, this girl, is giving suggestions to these two, one apprenticing under the Sect Master, one apprenticing under the Third Elder?!"

Everyone focused their eyes on the Third Elder. The Third Elder sighed in resignation. Miss Yun Zhi's suggestion was not wrong. He was most suitable for cultivating the Pure Yang Spiritual Root.

Among the eight figures, the Third Elder was the most burly, with muscles all over his body, and his blood was as vigorous as a torch in the dark. He was a typical body cultivator.

I heard that when he was young, his blood was so vigorous that he couldn't control it, and he often ran to the spirit field to squeeze the cow demon aside and plow the land himself.

"Speaking of which, has the Sect Master been out of seclusion for nine years?"

"Seems so."

Everyone remembered that they still had the position of Sect Master, but it seemed there was no difference whether they had it or not.

"Then how does the Sword Spiritual Root apprentice?"

Just as everyone was talking, a beautiful shadow flew over on a cloud. The clouds and mist dissipated, revealing Senior Sister's figure.

"Miss Yun Zhi has met all the senior uncles."

Everyone hurriedly stood up and saluted. Now that the Sect Master was in seclusion, Miss Yun Zhi exercised the power of the acting Sect Master and managed the entire sect. Her status was above their eight elders.

"Miss Yun Zhi knows that all senior uncles have disciples they like, but apprenticeship has a very heavy cause and effect, and it cannot be forced. Please do not interfere too much when they choose a master."

The elders naturally knew this point and laughed: "This is natural, this is natural. However, the Sword Spiritual Root apprenticing under the Sect Master, is it the Sect Master's meaning, or yours...?"

Speaking of the Sect Master, Miss Yun Zhi frowned slightly, a bit displeased, and responded coldly: "Is there a difference?"

The eight elders were silent. Indeed, there was no difference.

Just kidding, the decision you made, would the Sect Master dare to oppose it? ===== CHAPTER 8 =====
