Half an hour later, a sword light fell on Qingxue Peak.
Ye Feng, bound by a silk ribbon, was thrown down when he was still more than ten meters above the ground.
"Bang!"
A heavy object fell, raising clouds of dust.
Several female disciples who were practicing magic in the square couldn't resist coming over to check.
"Infuse your feet with magic power to attract the flying sword. Remember that next time?"
Li Qinghe spoke with a murderous look to Ye Feng, who had just gotten up.
"I've got it!"
Ye Feng, with one black eye and disheveled hair, replied seriously.
The kite, which had been suspended in mid-air for so long, almost threw up.
It was just a quick scratch through the clothes... did it have to be so harsh?
Seeing Ye Feng's obedient appearance, Li Qinghe didn't say anything more and turned to walk towards the main hall.
"Isn't that Uncle-Master Li? And who's that behind him? He looks kind of familiar."
"Ye Feng wins first place in the outer sect competition!"
The person who said this was someone Ye Feng was somewhat acquainted with.
It was Yu Man, whom I had faced before.
At this moment, Yu Man had a mischievous smile on her face.
Unexpectedly, Ye Feng was taken in by Martial Uncle Li as a disciple of Qingxue Peak. This is going to be interesting.
Ninety percent of the disciples at Qingxue Peak are female; male disciples are a rare breed.
Hmph, now you've fallen into my hands! If you don't obediently call me senior sister, I'll have someone teach you a lesson!
In fact, Yu Man didn't know why she was interested in Ye Feng.
He looks at me the same way he looks at other men...
Perhaps he prefers to watch openly and honestly, which is a bit different!
"Stay close to me. You're not a disciple of this peak yet, so don't touch anything. There are restrictions on everything..."
Before Li Qinghe could finish speaking, Ye Feng took a few steps forward and stood close behind her. Seeing her gaze, he awkwardly took a few steps back.
A restriction...that's very powerful.
He had seen an eagle earlier, but he didn't know if it was a demonic beast or an ordinary wild animal.
He just passed by the sect's heavens, and then... that was it.
Not even a trace was left...
After passing through two palaces, one finally arrives at the inner palace.
Although this place is smaller than the sect's main hall, its interior decorations look even more luxurious.
The interior of the hall is predominantly white and green, adorned with murals depicting auspicious clouds and cranes.
Along the way, enormous luminous pearls illuminated the path...
Inside the inner hall, incense smoke wafted.
Behind about ten memorial tablets stood two statues, one of a man and one of a woman.
The man looked ethereal and otherworldly, with one hand behind his back, gazing straight ahead, and positioned a level above him.
The woman, dressed in flowing white robes, held a sword in her hand and looked down.
The man was the founder of the sect, Daoist Qingyun. New members first had to acknowledge their patriarch; each administrative office had a portrait of the patriarch, so Ye Feng naturally knew him.
The woman should be the first peak master of Qingxue Peak.
Upon arriving at the main hall, Li Qinghe unleashed a gust of wind towards the bronze bell hanging to one side.
"Thump..."
The sound of the bronze bell was neither deep nor loud.
It was extremely penetrating; it could be heard across almost half of Qingxue Peak.
Less than two minutes later, a woman dressed in pink came out from behind.
"Junior Sister Qinghe has finally taken on another disciple! We won't need to be pulled in to help with alchemy anymore, right?"
After the woman finished speaking, she looked at Ye Feng.
"Ye Feng, right? You're lucky. Junior Sister Qinghe is the richest among us. If you keep her happy, reaching Foundation Establishment won't be a problem."
"This is your senior master, the Bamboo Sword Master! You must show him proper respect when you see him in the future."
Li Qinghe said
Ye Feng nodded, clasped his hands in a gesture of respect,
"Greetings, Senior Uncle Bamboo Sword!"
The woman nodded slightly and said nothing more.
Just then, the sound of scattered footsteps could be heard outside.
Ye Feng turned his head and saw a group of women dressed in inner sect attire walking in from outside.
The birds were singing and dancing, creating quite a lively scene!
In the crowd, Yu Man winked at Ye Feng, her face full of a mischievous smile.
Previously, it was only because the outer sect members were making up the numbers that they dragged Yu Man, who was at the fourth level of Qi Refining, to participate in the competition.
Now that the competition is over, he has been reinstated as an inner disciple.
His grey, low-grade robe added to his heroic air.
There were at least twenty or thirty disciples who entered, and they all focused their attention on Ye Feng.
The pointing and whispering made Ye Feng feel like he was surrounded by admirers, the center of attention.
"The disciple that Uncle Li took on is the champion of the competition! Our peak's combat strength can rise significantly from now on."
"Uncle Li isn't good at combat either, so he'll probably teach him alchemy. His future combat strength is hard to predict..."
"Alchemy is good too. Uncle Li is always very busy. With him around, we won't need to ask anyone else for help after we reach the Foundation Establishment stage."
"I heard he has a mixed spiritual root of four elements. Foundation Establishment is very difficult. How can someone with Qi Refining cultivation refine foundation establishment pills for you...?"
"I believe he can definitely reach the Foundation Establishment stage!"
Yu Man's words were somewhat impulsive, and the discussion immediately ceased.
There's still hope for those with three spiritual roots to establish a foundation, but four spiritual roots... it's not that easy.
Many of the senior female students immediately turned their attention to Yu Man, their teasing expressions speaking volumes.
Just then,
A woman wearing a white dress came out.
Li Qinghe and Zhu Jian both bent over.
"Uncle-Master"
"master"
"Greetings, Peak Master!"
The woman nodded.
"No need for formalities!"
Then he looked at the bamboo sword.
Let's begin!
Bamboo Sword nodded, and his relaxed aura changed.
"Ye Feng, step forward!"
"We bow to the ancestral master and offer incense to him!"
Ye Feng stepped forward, knelt and kowtowed three times, and then took the incense from a senior sister and placed it in the incense table.
After finishing, Zhu Jian looked at Mu Xue Zhenren.
Master Muxue walked up to Ye Feng and pointed a finger directly at Ye Feng's brow.
Completely paralyzed, Ye Feng could only watch helplessly.
As his fingertips touched Ye Feng's forehead, he suddenly felt a sense of clarity and understanding.
Then a sound was made.
"Damn it..." The Art of Questioning the Mind!
Ye Feng uttered two words, then immediately shut his mouth tightly.
Master Muxue frowned.
Although I don't know what "mud horse" means, it's definitely not a nice thing to say.
But that's normal. If she hadn't been prepared when Wenxin gave her advice, she would have heard even worse things.
"Ye Feng, do you intend to harm the sect by entering it?"
"No!"
Ye Feng gave a concise answer, trying hard to control himself from thinking about things like heat or the Dao.
With so many beautiful fairies present, he was already somewhat distracted.
It's fine if you don't ask yourself questions, but once you do, all sorts of thoughts come out.
Why did you join the sect?
"For...immortality and invincibility, for...the beautiful fairy..."
Ye Feng broke out in a cold sweat, secretly vowing that he would never again, even if it meant dying, tap anyone's forehead...
"Pfft..."
"Huff huff..."
Apart from Master Muxue, who remained relatively calm, and Li Qinghe, whose forehead was bulging with laughter, everyone else couldn't help but chuckle.
I've heard of people seeking revenge for family feuds and national grievances, and I've also seen people driven by ambition to rise above others.
But I've rarely heard Ye Feng give such an answer.
First came the elusive promise of immortality, then invincibility, and finally, a beautiful fairy.
Immortality and invincibility go without saying; everyone desires that.
As for the beautiful fairy, as her cultivation deepens, she will come to understand the truths of the world.
No amount of lust can compare to the wonderful feeling of improving one's cultivation.
Among the crowd, Yu Man was undoubtedly the one laughing the happiest.
This Senior Brother Ye... no, Junior Brother Ye, is indeed a... straight person.
Master Muxue's questioning continued.
"For immortality and... a beautiful fairy, would you betray your sect?"
"If the sect does not fail me, I will not betray it."
Upon hearing this, Master Muxue nodded and withdrew her finger.
The answer to the last question wasn't actually that strict, since everyone has their own obsessions.
"Having passed the test of conscience, offer tea to the Peak Master!"
"Finally passed the test. Is it okay if I don't kneel when serving tea?"
After saying that, Ye Feng shut his mouth again. The power of the Heart-Questioning Finger technique hadn't dissipated yet, and he had inadvertently spoken his innermost thoughts again...
Even Master Muxue couldn't help but smile this time.
Those who cultivate immortality do not even kneel before heaven and earth; all those with pride hold this thought.
I never expected that Ye Feng, a Qi Refining Level 4 cultivator with four mixed spiritual roots, would be so confident.
"I don't need to kneel anymore. Let's see what your master says."
Master Muxue took the tea Ye Feng offered, took a sip, and casually said...
Bamboo Sword: "Serve tea to Master!"
Seeing Li Qinghe's gritted teeth, Ye Feng shakily went over to offer her tea.
"Master, please have some tea!"
She's so angry, I wonder if she'll even take me home later...
Ye Feng bent down to serve tea; he was significantly taller than Li Qinghe, who was seated.
However, since even the peak master didn't kneel, she naturally couldn't treat him differently.
I could only take the tea and drink a sip.
"The ceremony is complete! I hereby declare Ye Feng officially a disciple of Li Qinghe of Qingxue Peak. From now on, he must respect his teacher and be dutiful and respectful!"
It's finally over!
Ye Feng breathed a long sigh of relief.
Although there weren't as many people at today's ceremony as at the sect competition, it was still much more complicated for him alone than for the entire sect to begin their training together.
Of course, there's no tea ceremony or apprenticeship ceremony for those who directly join the inner sect.
Although he has now joined Qingxue Peak, he still needs to report to the sect and change his waist token.
After emerging, Li Qinghe flew away in a flash of sword light.
"I haven't gone up yet!"
Ye Feng stared blankly at the sword light that had vanished in the blink of an eye.
