Sorry, I can't let my favorability rating drop.
She originally thought the system only had the function of opening up modern space for her.
Once she has her own storage space, modern space won't be so special anymore; it'll just be more convenient than a regular storage bag, since it's bound to her soul and no one can take it away.
But because of this, she accidentally stepped into a small pit.
Everything has its gains and losses. The space that is bound to the soul and cannot be taken away also means that a part of her soul is held in the hands of the system!
However, the system did not inform us at all when we opened the space.
It was only recently, when Xiaoyi (the fortune teller) suddenly discovered that a piece of her soul was missing, that they realized the system had secretly replaced her.
Fortunately, the system seems to require energy to come to this world, and normally it is just an unconscious basic program broadcasting the favorability rating.
The system will only intervene when a major event occurs.
Therefore, Tu Longjian's plan is to openly and positively increase favorability so that the system won't waste energy on him.
Secretly, he transferred Long Aotian's luck, deceiving the system completely.
She hadn't expected that An Lan's good intentions would thwart her plans, so she had no choice but to politely ask him to leave.
Upon hearing Tu Longjian's heartfelt confession in front of his 'love rival,' Gan Xiuming put aside his suspicions and smiled happily at Tu Longjian.
[Gan Xiuming's favorability +1, +1... Currently at 60]
Gan Xiuming deliberately cast a provocative glance at the dejected Cong Anlan, but the other woman was absent-minded, and her beautiful eyes, which were no longer narrowed, drooped down.
Hmph, he knew it. Chunxiang was so infatuated with him; it must have been that slut who seduced her.
Fortunately, she remained devoted to herself and wasn't seduced by any glamorous or cheap women.
The time it takes for an incense stick to burn has passed.
The other peak masters arrived one after another, but the last one to arrive, a man in blue robes, captivated the eyes of all the cultivators.
Unlike An Lan's carefree and alluring demeanor, the newcomer was as upright as a bamboo shoot, exceptionally handsome, and extremely tall, leaving a trail of fragrance wherever he went.
He was gentle and polite, nodding in response to the sect leader and others, and politely declined the seat offered by the sect leader.
He turned around and went to a secluded seat, which turned out to be the closest seat to Tu Longjian.
Whether it was a misperception or not, Tu Longjian felt that the handsome man's gentle gaze, which had swept across the entire room, lingered on her.
Tu Longjian heard the peak masters calling him.
"The Venerable One of the Way."
"Who is that refined cultivator? I have privately studied the various peak masters and elders, and I have never heard of a Dao Venerable with the surname Yan."
"I vaguely remember hearing about it; it seems there's a less popular peak. But the peak master rarely takes on disciples. I don't know why he's here today."
Two monks were exchanging information in hushed tones.
The sect leader opened his eyes and solemnly announced, "Let's start with the disciple who is ranked last."
The cultivators were excited but also a little nervous. A male cultivator stepped out from the crowd and introduced himself in a seemingly calm manner.
"Greetings, esteemed peak masters and elders. I am Yin Chen, ranked thirty-first in the freshman trial and twentieth in the second assessment."
"One force can overcome ten techniques; one sword drawn chills the world."
"This disciple favors Body Peak and Sword Peak."
The sect leader nodded, and the peak masters lowered their heads, looking at the recording mirrors in their hands, which quickly displayed the disciple's wonderful moments during the assessment.
Elder Tifeng stroked his beard and said, "That's right, but you're not quite good enough to be a personal disciple. If you come to our Tifeng, you'll definitely be an inner disciple."
Elder Jianfeng shook his head. "Jianfeng's core disciples only accept those with exceptional talent. You don't qualify."
Yin Shen regretfully left the stage and ultimately chose to join the Tifeng Sports Club.
...
Fang Milu had previously ranked ninth in the freshman trial, just shy of the top ten, and was chosen by the Medical Peak to be their personal disciple.
When it was Gan Xiuming's turn, his expression was no longer as confident as before; instead, he waited anxiously for the verdict.
The public criticism he had received earlier had left a shadow in his heart. Seeing the sect leader's unreadable expression, he knew something was wrong.
Sure enough, although he applied to the main peak, he was rejected by the sect leader.
After observing his reflection in the mirror, the sect leader spoke quite fairly:
"You did perform well in your fight against the Golden Leopard, but I only accept disciples of upright character. You should seek other opportunities."
Gan Xiuming's face turned bloodshot, he lowered his head and clenched his fists tightly.
Tu Longjian's heart stirred. This was different from the original story. Originally, Gan Xiuming had successfully and gloriously entered the main peak and was even praised for his chivalrous demeanor.
A group of cultivators showered him with praise, so his reputation was excellent, and he was chosen by the sect leader at first glance.
It was only after meeting him today that I realized how upright the sect leader is.
Because of his interference in the trial, Gan Xiuming's true nature was exposed, and he was rejected by the sect leader for this mutated Heavenly Spiritual Root.
Seeing the complete silence at the scene, and the other peak masters exchanging bewildered glances, Gan Xiuming felt as if each day was an eternity.
He has a mutated Heavenly Spiritual Root! What's wrong with these peak masters and elders?
Just because he ran away? Ridiculous. Everyone looks out for themselves. If he didn't run, was he supposed to die with the others?
What kind of righteous cultivators are they? They're nothing but hypocrites. Gan Xiuming lowered his bloodshot eyes, filled with resentment, and dug his nails deep into his flesh.
"Know when to advance and retreat in the face of life and death, and do not act rashly."
"Would you be willing to join my Poison Peak? With a mutated spiritual root, you'll naturally become my personal disciple. Hehe, I've never accepted a Heavenly Spiritual Root before."
A sinister voice rang out, like a venomous snake slithering in the night, sending chills down the spines of all the cultivators.
The middle-aged male cultivator with triangular eyes smiled gloomily, his slightly provocative gaze sweeping over the other peak masters.
The sect leader's eyes were deep and intense. Poison Peak had a long history within the Guanqing Sect and had already taken root before she took office.
She disapproved of their behavior but was powerless to resist them.
Although Gan Xiuming has some moral failings, in the dog-eat-dog world of cultivation, he is nothing to worry about.
However, the gathering of cultivators with flawed morals at Poison Peak raises questions about whether it will cause trouble in the future.
That's enough.
If a variant of the Heavenly Spiritual Root leaves, it is also a loss for the sect.
The sect leader nodded and asked Gan Xiuming for his opinion.
"Poison Peak is powerful, and is indeed a good choice."
Although Gan Xiuming was not satisfied, he had no choice but to nod in agreement. Looking at his gloomy future master, he frowned slightly and rubbed his temples.
This was not what he had expected.
He had always been praised for his dashing and debonair manner, yet such a virtuous and upright person was now associating with poisonous creatures.
Only Du Feng extended an olive branch to him, and if he didn't accept it, he would have to leave in disgrace, which would be even harder for him to accept.
"They went to Poison Peak?" Tu Longjian's pupils trembled slightly.
At this point, she began to truly change Long Aotian's cultivation path. The golden lotus, which had shed three petals, trembled and showed signs of turning dark green.
She felt that Gan Xiuming's luck was attracting her even more strongly, probably because another barrier had been broken, making it easier to absorb.
However, given the presence of many powerful figures, she dared not attempt to verify it on the spot.
But now that Gan Xiuming has gone to Poison Peak, what should she do?
