Cultivate, cultivate, cultivate!
In major sects, all you do is cultivate.
Those who do not cultivate themselves will at best be ridiculed, and at worst become the target of bullying.
If you're even more unlucky, you might be looking forward to a bright future in the cultivation world one second, and the next you'll be reduced to ashes, without even a place to be buried.
Don't assume that the elders in the Discipline Hall will protect a weak person or uphold justice for anyone. The strong are respected; they might not even be able to protect themselves, let alone risk offending others for the sake of a weakling.
Yan Li has always believed that if a person can maintain the Golden Core stage, it can be considered a skill.
A pathetic skill.
But this awkward, neither-here-nor-there state allowed her to live a long period of peace, and she even wanted to continue developing this career.
It's so good to be alive.
Yan Li uttered the 63,754th sigh.
Until the sect expanded its recruitment again, a naive and innocent girl came from the lower realm and pointed to the sect leader Wen Yu, who was sitting in the middle and also at the front.
"I want to be his disciple!"
Hiding in the crowd, Yan Li watched this scene and sighed inwardly: Commendable courage!
The once lively apprenticeship ceremony became almost silent, with everyone's eyes fixed on Xiaobai in the center of the square, where a beautiful young woman was looking up at him with a shy expression.
What's she being shy about?
Are you crazy?
That's absolutely insane.
With the sect leader's temper, he could easily end up in the cycle of reincarnation if he's not careful. Only someone with a screw loose would go for that.
Among the new disciples each year, whether they are blind or not, they all want to remain invisible in front of Wen Yu, fearing that he might notice them.
Wen Yu, a powerful cultivator in the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm, could easily crush these ants with a flick of his finger. They should have been flying away during their tribulation, but the lightning tribulation was always dispelled by him with a wave of his hand.
Even Heaven couldn't do anything to him, so how could they dare to utter a word of complaint? They could only treat him as a lucky charm and worship him.
"Perhaps this fellow Daoist should change her master?" Yao Lao, who was looking at her wood spirit root, spoke up, wanting to save this promising talent.
Wood Spirit Root, an innate sacred body for farming.
However, Ruan Nianwei did not respond. Instead, she looked at Wen Yu on the high platform and thought for a moment: "Immortal Venerable, Nianwei knows that you already have a disciple. But if Nianwei can defeat her, would she be qualified to become your disciple?"
Ruan Nianwei's words were like a thunderclap from a clear sky, shocking everyone present.
They've been in the same sect for so long, how come they didn't know their sect leader had taken on a disciple?
On the high platform, Wen Yu, who had initially been impatient and ready to throw Ruan Nianwei off the mountain, changed his mind. He sat down again, a slight smile playing on his lips: "Alright."
These words were spoken.
Those within the sect and those who had just joined fell silent.
Could it be that this sect leader has really taken on a disciple?
Ruan Nianwei, completely oblivious to anything amiss, searched for her target among the disciples. Suddenly, her eyes lit up, and she pointed to Yan Li, who was crouching in a gap in the crowd:
"Yan Li, what do you mean? The Immortal Venerable has already agreed to let you compete with me. Are you hiding because you don't want me to win?"
The group of fellow disciples who had been surrounding Yan Li quickly moved aside.
Meanwhile, Yan Li sat on the ground, one leg crossed and the other bent, supporting her hand holding the melon seeds, looking quite content.
That is, if she hadn't encountered this lunatic.
The senior and junior disciples standing beside her all showed her affection and were surprised and shocked: "So Yan Li, you have become the sect leader's disciple."
Why bother with worship? The person she worships most is the God of Wealth in that dilapidated temple.
Who says cultivators are without desires? She wants three taels of a low-grade spirit stone, let alone medium-grade or high-grade spirit stones.
Unfortunately, all transactions within the sect are conducted using spirit stones. If one had money, they would have already exchanged countless spirit stones and wouldn't have to worry. But Yan Li is an exception.
She was extremely poor.
If she hadn't started fasting early, she would have starved to death long ago.
"What's wrong with you? Even if your cultivation can't improve, you still start asking me for advice. Although I don't know either, I have a good temper."
Yan Li looked in the direction of the sound and could only chuckle twice.
What a fucking good temper.
It's as if he wasn't the one who stole her spirit stones when she first started out. Luckily, she climbed fast enough, otherwise she would have died before even starting her apprenticeship.
"Junior sister, although I've never really paid you any attention before, don't do something so reckless just because you want to be superior to me. Come on, tell me, how long has it been?"
Yan Li: ?
She tilted her head slightly, looking at her senior sister who seemed to be smiling in an extremely lewd way, and sighed inwardly: Sure enough, this world has gone mad, people will eat anything.
Yan Li never expected that she, a menial disciple, would have a time when she would be the center of attention.
But she didn't have time to think about who bribed this person to get involved with him in this kind of situation.
Yan Li quickly stood up, patted her bottom casually, and looked at Ruan Nianwei, who was waiting for her to stand, and chuckled dryly: "Fellow Daoist, I think you've misunderstood, I'm just a..."
Before she could finish speaking, she was suddenly silenced, and a faint but powerful pressure descended upon her.
"Let's begin." On the high platform, Wen Yu propped her head up, glanced at the two of them indifferently, and waved her hand to send them to the arena.
Unable to refute, Yan Li looked at the eager Ruan Nianwei with resentment: "..." She really is just a useless good-for-nothing with all her cultivation.
"Yan Li, don't be so smug. I'll show you what I'm made of." Ruan Nianwei confidently used her wood spirit root to form countless thorny vines, attempting to wrap Yan Li up.
However, Yan Li, who was thrown onto the stage, had no intention of fighting at all. Looking at those childish things, she didn't even want to dodge.
The vine was shattered into pieces the moment it got close to Yan Li.
Yan Li looked at the flushed face opposite her: ...
Is this what you call giving her a "good" rating?
It's true that they've missed out on the brutal beatings of the cultivation world!
Yan Li couldn't understand this newcomer's brain. Even if they were to choose, shouldn't they choose those below the Foundation Establishment stage? Why choose her? Did they expect her to go easy on them?
If she were truly that person's disciple, she would probably have knelt down and begged for mercy the moment she stepped onto the stage.
But that's not her case; it's impossible for her to let the water flow.
Otherwise, if the people in the sect find out that she can't even beat a disciple who hasn't even reached the Foundation Establishment stage, will she ever have a peaceful life again?
"Are you a Golden Core cultivator?"
Ruan Nianwei was pinned to the ground by the pressure of the Golden Core stage cultivator, her face deathly pale. She stared at Yan Li in front of her, her eyes filled with disbelief.
Yan Li smiled.
Otherwise, she can't be the top disciple who makes things difficult for even Foundation Establishment cultivators, just waiting for her to slap him in the face, right?
