"Alas, what a pity that such a new disciple was chosen... I really envy him. I originally thought I would be able to get close to a goddess like Senior Sister."
"It is extremely rare to be able to receive personal guidance from the senior sister, let alone learn such profound spiritual rune transformations. This new disciple is truly fortunate."
"There's no other way. Senior Sister is happy to guide those who are about to advance in the next generation. This is something that everyone in Lingxiao Mountain can see. Otherwise, why would we willingly call her Senior Sister?"
"…………"
Upon seeing that Wang Qiuhe had chosen a new disciple, a look of regret and disappointment flashed across many people's faces.
Hearing these comments, which contained a hint of regret, a trace of helplessness flashed in Lin Xiuyuan's eyes.
But as Lin Xiuyuan slowly approached, his thoughts paused, and he made up his mind.
He no longer intends to hide his setbacks!
Being on the main peak, the competition is fierce; all resources must be fought for. It's impossible to remain aloof and cultivate peacefully. Doing so would only result in receiving the lowest level of resources, or even being removed from the main peak and sent down to another area.
Faced with the rules of the main peak, the only way to obtain more resources is to compete. Returning to the purest rules of the cultivation world, cultivating immortality is like sailing against the current, working tirelessly day and night, facing endless challenges! One must contend with the heavens for height, with the earth for distance, with others for wisdom, and with oneself for inner strength.
The entire main peak is like a huge and cruel arena, where the fittest survive and the weak perish. One general's success is built on the bones of ten thousand, and the path to immortality is littered with corpses!
The most outstanding group will be selected from among them to receive the highest level of resources, thus embarking on a better path of cultivation and being nurtured into the pillars of the sect.
In such an environment, Lin Xiuyuan can only show his best side so that his path will be smoother and wider.
Just as he performed so well in the competition, he still didn't receive any jade crystals, so he couldn't become a disciple of a master and receive better guidance. He could only go to the Lingxiao Pavilion to study the spirit patterns or come to the dojo to attend classes every month, hoping that the content of the class would be useful to him.
Judging from speculation, it is estimated that under the dual pressure from the Han family and the Xu family, it was difficult for anyone to withstand the pressure.
Therefore, for Lin Xiuyuan, the only option is to suppress the geniuses of both families, break through this pressure, and seek a better cultivation environment and path!
What need is there to hide now!
Moreover, if the higher-ups in the sect insist on investigating, they will definitely be able to find out that this talisman came from his hands.
Therefore, there is even less need to hide it.
As long as it doesn't involve the biggest opportunity—the purple talisman—it's fine!
Lin Xiuyuan walked calmly to Wang Qiuhe.
The other person glanced at him, a barely perceptible smile flashing in their eyes, and said, "I demonstrated it once before, did you remember it?"
"Yes!" Lin Xiuyuan nodded gently.
Upon seeing this, a hint of surprise flashed in Wang Qiuhe's eyes. Lin Xiuyuan couldn't possibly be unaware that she was deliberately making things difficult for him and intending to tease him. She had thought that Lin Xiuyuan would take the opportunity to ask questions and make sure that he wouldn't lose face in front of the many Lingxiao disciples.
But why did you agree so readily now?
Thus, Wang Qiuhe had no choice but to nod and say:
"Alright, get ready and let's begin!"
Lin Xiuyuan smiled slightly, and without making any preparations, he took out a talisman brush and a blank talisman paper and began to draw.
Do I need to prepare anything to replicate the spirit runes I created myself?
The moment the talisman brush touched the talisman paper, Lin Xiuyuan's calm expression turned focused, and he seemed to possess a special kind of brilliance.
It's as if he's become a completely different person in the blink of an eye.
Upon seeing this, Wang Qiuhe nodded in approval; this was how a talisman master should behave.
It seems that although this person has ulterior motives and has set his sights on her, he still has some skill in the art of talismans.
Wang Qiuhe thought this, but what she saw next made her eyes widen in surprise.
At this moment, the Lingxiao disciples who were paying close attention to this spirit rune also noticed this scene and couldn't help but murmur in surprise.
"This new disciple seems quite extraordinary? It appears he's about to finish the drawing?"
"Comparatively speaking, although there are some discrepancies, they are roughly the same, with at least 70% being a counterfeit?"
"That's impressive! Senior Sister only gave a simple demonstration just now, and now, by referring to the drawing of spirit patterns, I can almost replicate it. At this level, it's at least 60 or 70% perfect?"
"I'm afraid most of the older generation of Lingxiao disciples couldn't do this... at least I don't think I could."
"Although it's just a replica and nothing special, from another perspective, its mastery of talismanic arts is still quite remarkable."
"This year's new disciples are truly remarkable; it seems a prodigy has emerged?"
A series of surprised voices rang out in the main hall, and people looked at Lin Xiuyuan, no longer simply regarding him as a newly recruited disciple.
This single display of skill is something most of the older generation of Lingxiao disciples would find difficult to achieve, demonstrating that his mastery of talismanic arts is undoubtedly high, and in some respects, he has already rivaled the older generation of Lingxiao disciples.
It seems foreseeable that if he continues his cultivation on the main peak, he will surpass the older generation of Lingxiao disciples.
This surprised the Lingxiao disciples.
Therefore, this scene made Wang Qiuhe's eyes show a hint of surprise.
I thought Lin Xiuyuan was just a rogue cultivator, nothing special, and an ordinary person, so I came to seek refuge with the Zhou family.
Because the Zhou family's sixth branch has a special relationship with her branch, she stepped forward to bring her into the Cloud Soaring Sect.
But unexpectedly, it was later discovered that the two families were related by marriage, and it seemed that the marriage had fallen to them.
At that time, Wang Qiuhe believed that Lin Xiuyuan was trying to climb the social ladder.
Therefore, Wang Qiuhe believed that Lin Xiuyuan was of questionable character and only wanted to take shortcuts, even setting his sights on her, which made her despise him.
However, at this moment, it was discovered that Lin Xiuyuan did not seem so ordinary after all.
At least this move is clearly not simple.
It has already been shown that Lin Xiu is far superior to the Dao of Talismans, and still has some talent.
Moreover, the fact that he reached the main peak in such a short time shows that Lin Xiuyuan is not entirely useless.
This surprised Wang Qiuhe somewhat, and her opinion of Lin Xiuyuan changed slightly.
Upon hearing the murmurs below, Wang Qiuhe's astonishment intensified.
Because, besides Lin Xiuyuan, there were several other newly recruited disciples in the main hall.
Amidst the surprised murmurs, they spoke up.
This caused another round of surprised exclamations to echo through the hall.
"What? He's the amazing guy who withstood the Heavenly Thunder Pearl during the Nine Heavens Mountain Grand Competition?"
