She smiled and put her feet down, then smiled dignifiedly at Venerable Canglang.
Venerable Canglang looked away, unable to bear the sight.
Qi Yu screamed inwardly, so embarrassed that she dug her toes into the ground.
Why did you have to say it when she was picking her toes?
and!
She didn't even claim the monster corpses in Ren Pingsheng's storage bag for herself, yet she's still ranked first. Isn't that a bit unreasonable?
Venerable Canglang didn't embarrass her for long, and continued to announce the names of the next few cultivators.
"Second place, Wu Shuyi."
"Third place, Yin Hongwei."
...
"Eighth place, He Miao."
...
Venerable Canglang read out the names of all four hundred people and said solemnly, "You know your ranking now, right? The elders will now hand out their name tags to the candidates you like. If you don't receive a name tag, you'll have to start as an outer disciple."
As soon as he finished speaking, several signs flew down from the second floor.
A plaque flew into Qi Yu's hand. She picked it up and glanced at it; it was carved with a bewitching red lotus.
Before she could take another look, another sign flew over, this time depicting a crescent moon.
She held two plaques in her hands and looked at Venerable Canglang with a bewildered expression.
Before she could ask a question, three more signs flew over and hit her on the head.
Qi Yu: "..."
Venerable Canglang: "..."
Others who didn't receive a tag: "..."
Qi Yu held five plaques in her arms, experiencing for the first time in her life what it felt like for an emperor to choose his concubines.
Venerable Canglang picked up the plaques with a headache.
"Broken Moon, Red Lotus, Fragrant Forest, Fisherman's Song, Sword Heart..."
He read out the names of the elders on the sign one by one.
The next second, five figures appeared around Qi Yu with an extremely oppressive aura.
The Venerable Broken Moon, dressed in a moon-white robe; the Fairy Red Lotus, in a red dress; the Fairy Fragrant Forest, with a sorrowful expression; the Venerable Fisherman's Song, holding a small fox; and the Fairy Sword Heart, wielding a long sword, all stared at her intently.
Qi Yu: "..." Weak, pitiful, and helpless.
Venerable Canglang pointed at them expressionlessly and said, "Venerable Poyue, a weapon refiner, with a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivation level."
"Red Lotus Fairy, alchemist, mid-Nascent Soul stage cultivation."
"Fairy Fanglin, a medical cultivator, with early Nascent Soul cultivation."
"The Venerable Fisherman, a Beast Tamer, has a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivation level."
"Sword Heart Fairy, sword cultivator, Nascent Soul stage at the Great Perfection level."
"Our Flying Star Sect adheres to the principle of voluntariness. You can choose which elder you wish to become a disciple with."
Venerable Fisherman said with a smile, "Don't be nervous. You can learn from whomever you want. If you don't want to become my disciple, that's fine too."
The Red Lotus Fairy's beautiful eyes sparkled as she softly tempted, "If you learn alchemy from me, you won't have to worry about elixirs anymore."
Qi Yu blinked; this Red Lotus Fairy must be a rich woman.
"She's a sword cultivator, what are you, an alchemist, doing getting involved?" Sword Heart Fairy interrupted Red Lotus Fairy, staring straight at her and said, "Your previous master was quite good, but I'm not bad either. Come and learn swordsmanship from me, I like you very much."
Fairy Fanglin didn't say anything. Actually, she saw Fairy Honglian and Venerable Poyue throw a token to Qi Yu one after another, so she couldn't help but throw one over as well.
Venerable Poyue's gaze was deep, and his words were like a thunderclap: "I have already reached the Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul stage."
The elders were immediately shocked.
"I didn't expect Po Yue to have made further progress!"
"He really is a genius."
The Crimson Lotus Fairy exclaimed to Venerable Broken Moon with delight, "Broken Moon, congratulations!"
Sword Heart Fairy glared at Venerable Broken Moon with a bitter and resentful look. With such high cultivation, the junior disciple she had her eye on would definitely not choose her.
Venerable Poyue remained silent, still looking at Qi Yu.
Qi Yu scratched her head. Actually, she had only come to the Flying Star Sect's recruitment ceremony to try and get some resources.
Now that the five elders were surrounding her and asking her to make a choice, she was under a lot of pressure.
I always felt that becoming their disciple would be extremely difficult.
She glanced at Venerable Broken Moon, feeling a little strange for some reason.
Why does a weapon refiner, who is also a cultivator at the Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul stage, seem so determined to take her as his disciple?
Moreover, the gaze of this Venerable Broken Moon always seemed to be looking through her at someone else.
I have a bad feeling about this.
Qi Yu considered his words for a moment and organized his thoughts.
"Hmm...that's how it is..."
"This disciple is not skilled enough, possessing only five spiritual roots. Even my Foundation Establishment cultivation was acquired by my late master. I am afraid I cannot live up to the expectations of the elders."
"Why don't we let the disciple..."
Before he could finish speaking, a clear, youthful voice suddenly rang out.
"What can you learn from these people? I am a polymath, come to me!"
A young boy dressed in a light yellow shirt suddenly appeared beside Qi Yu. His face was rosy and he had a mischievous smile on his lips.
Qi Yu looked down at the little boy who only reached her waist, and hesitated before asking, "This one?"
She looked closely at the little boy's face, and suddenly her eyes widened.
No, he was clearly the one using secret techniques to stabilize the secret realm!
Who is he?!
"Sect Master." Venerable Canglang seemed unsurprised, and respectfully bent down to lift the yellow-robed youth onto his shoulder.
Inside the council hall, the elders exclaimed in astonishment, "Sect Master?!"
"Why has the sect leader come out?"
"The sect leader actually wants to take on disciples?"
Qi Yu's pupils dilated in shock; her eyeballs almost popped out of their sockets.
Is this child, who's not even as tall as her waist, the sect leader of the Flying Star Sect?
The person who can become the leader of the largest sect in the cultivation world must be a handsome and dashing man, even if he is not an old man with white hair and beard.
This child looks to be at most ten years old...
Could it be reverse aging?
The boy in yellow shifted his body and found a comfortable spot to sit on Venerable Canglang's broad shoulders.
Seeing Qi Yu's rapidly changing expression, he laughed heartily twice.
"Well, I am the sect leader. How about you come and become my disciple? I haven't taken on any disciples for decades. This is a rare opportunity."
Decades...
Venerable Poyue pursed his lips and stepped forward. “Sect Master, your health is not good. If you are distracted by taking on disciples, it may affect your recovery progress.”
The Flying Star Sect Master plucked a strand of hair from Venerable Canglang and played with it casually.
"Po Yue, although my power has been damaged, I am not completely useless. What difference would taking on a disciple make? As for you, you have never taken on a disciple before. Why do you suddenly want to?"
Venerable Poyue lowered his eyes and said, "This girl has good aptitude, and Venerable Poyue also wants to..."
"Is that so?" Before Venerable Poyue could finish speaking, the sect leader interrupted him, saying slowly, "I have discovered something interesting about this little girl, perhaps it is related to you?"
Venerable Poyue's expression changed.
Qi Yu also looked at Venerable Po Yue with suspicion.
Previously, when they were at the Spirit Academy, Hua Nongying had mentioned that Venerable Poyue had suffered a lot because of the Seven Cold Soul Stealing Technique, and he still hadn't been able to eradicate the cold poison.
Could it be that he noticed I had been poisoned by the Seven Cold Soul-Stealing Technique and wanted to get close to me to ask for an antidote?
