"Disciple understands. Thank you for the reminder, Sect Master!"

As a person who has experienced this, Zhou Heng naturally understands the reason behind this.

Wait until he finishes speaking, then bow respectfully.

"Okay! Okay! Then!"

"This storage bag is my personal treasure. Please use it. If you find anything useful, it will all be yours from now on!"

Xiao Tianyu smiled with satisfaction again, then threw a storage bag to Zhou Heng.

"Thank you for the reward, Sect Master!"

Zhou Heng was not polite and quickly took over: "Disciple will take his leave now!"

"Go! Remember, don't show off!"

Xiao Tianyu waved his hand and asked him to leave.

Afterwards, Zhou Heng left the hall in a hurry.

Run towards the bottom of the stone steps.

As soon as he got outside the door, he saw two more people running towards him.

“Senior Brother!”

Zhou Heng knew that since he could come and go freely here, it was definitely right to call him senior brother.

"Okay, you're welcome, come with us!"

One of them stepped forward and motioned Zhou Heng to follow them.

"Second Brother, this is..."

Zhou Heng didn't understand, so he asked tentatively.

"We are the Supreme Elders! Disciples of Taoist Priest Niu, please come over!"

One of the pockmarked men waved at Zhou Heng: "Come on!"

"yes!"

Zhou Heng could only agree respectfully and leave with them.

After leaving, he followed the two disciples and went to the red pavilion with its low and beautiful windows.

We arrived at a temple on another mountain.

This place is slightly inferior to the sect master's hall just now.

It has a more ancient and vicissitudes of life feeling.

You can tell at first glance that this is a vintage place.

Zhou Heng observed carefully for a while, then followed the two people to the front of the hall.

"Master, the people have arrived!"

Ma Zi just now was obviously unhappy.

But I still report it respectfully.

"Okay! Come in!"

Soon, the voice of Taoist Priest Niu was heard from inside.

"yes!"

Ma Zi agreed, then turned around and glanced at Zhou Heng: "Go!"

"Yes, brother!"

Zhou Heng clasped his fists again and was about to go in.

"stop!"

Another person glanced at him and then reminded him: "Be careful with your words, don't talk nonsense!"

"Yes! Thank you for the reminder, brother!"

Zhou Heng nodded respectfully, then went up the stairs again.

Then he came to the front of the temple.

In the center of the hall, there is an incense burner with the scent of sandalwood.

There are bead curtains all around.

Lately, I feel like I’m not as restrained as I was just now with the Sect Master.

Looking at the layout with birds singing and flowers blooming, Zhou Heng actually felt relaxed.

"Zhou Heng, the Sect Master just told you about your situation!"

Taoist Priest Niu walked out and looked at Zhou Heng and asked.

"Yes! Elder! I have already reminded my disciples!"

Zhou Heng bowed respectfully: "I wonder if Elder, do you have anything else to tell Your Highness?"

"Since he has already told you, I have nothing more to say!"

Then he looked at Zhou Heng and smiled: "You are so anxious, are you trying to become a direct disciple?"

"this……"

"Elder, I'm not happy with what you said, it's true! People always want to go to higher places, who doesn't want to climb up!"

Zhou Heng scratched his head, looking honest.

"Yes, you are right!"

"It's not enough, I still need some experience!"

"Only then can we meet our basic conditions!"

Taoist Priest Niu nodded and smiled, then continued: "This is a necessary process! We must go!"

"There will be a trial next month. If you can participate and perform well, I can still accept you as my personal disciple!"

"Ah? Doesn't it mean that only those who win the championship or have good grades can come in?"

Zhou Heng showed a puzzled look, and then looked at Taoist Niu: "If I don't try my best, even if I get in, I will be harassed by my brothers!"

He hadn't considered this matter before.

But the attitude of these disciples just now made him understand.

If a disciple is disliked by his master for no reason.

Then, he will definitely be ostracized.

Even hostility.

Then the only way is to show your strength and let them know how powerful you are.

This way you can avoid being provoked and looked down upon.

"It's okay. You came here to make a breakthrough. Why do you care about these things about fame and fortune?"

"Isn't it the ultimate goal that your strength has improved and broken through?"

"How they want to look at it and how they want to act is their business!"

Taoist Priest Niu waved his hand and smiled, then continued: "If you come here just to compete for victory, then it goes against your belief in cultivation!"

"this……"

Zhou Heng understood what he meant.

This old fellow, like the clan leader, wanted to hide his strength.

Why is this?

If I become powerful, wouldn't that be bad for the sect?

Wouldn't that be enough to intimidate the crowd?

"You know, a tall tree attracts the wind!"

"If you just pursue fame and fortune, don't you think this is contrary to the original intention of your practice?"

"You have to make yourself strong, not let others think you are strong!"

Taoist Priest Niu saw that Zhou Heng was puzzled, so he began to enlighten him.

"Elder, disciple understands!"

"However, if you want to participate in the trial, you still have to challenge the geniuses on the list!"

"There has to be a ranking, and it can also shut some people up!"
