One after another, figures flew towards the mountain peak, unwilling to miss such a scene.
Just then, an outer sect elder approached Xiao Feng with a smile on his face: "How about... we go take a look first?"
Anyway, there's no need to worry about registering outer disciples; they have plenty of time to go.
Xiao Feng nodded slightly: "Then let's go take a look. I believe that mortal can exceed all of our expectations."
Others may not have seen that mortal, but Xiao Feng witnessed that mortal's resilience firsthand.
In the short time it takes for an incense stick to burn, Xiao Feng, accompanied by the outer sect elders, landed on the roof of a house and looked at the mortals in the square from afar.
At this moment, the mortals were stunned by the way they made their appearance and sat there at a loss.
In his view, the mountain was insurmountable.
The fact that the disciples of the Azure Sect were able to fly here one by one shows that they could easily get here.
The outer sect elder looked at the mortal's expression, stroked his beard, and chuckled, "This person is quite interesting, fitting the characteristics of a mortal. Let's go take a look."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Feng immediately sensed that the elder was subtly trying to snatch the person away.
Anyone who can climb up from the bottom of the mountain must have extraordinary strength. Taking him as a disciple will surely bring glory to the family in the future.
As soon as the two arrived at the plaza, the mortal seemed to realize what was happening and knelt down before the Qingzong disciples: "Can any of you accept me as your disciple?"
The disciples of the Azure Sect exchanged glances and then focused their attention on the elder.
They themselves haven't even completed their apprenticeships, so they're not qualified to be teachers to others.
The mortal's gaze fell on the elders of different colors, and he quickly walked up to them, saying, "I will do whatever you ask me to do."
Seeing that none of the elders beside him stepped forward, the outer sect elder burst into laughter: "Having encountered such a fine seedling, this old man will not be polite."
Before the other elders could react, he had already reached the man and placed his hand on his wrist.
Xiao Feng sensed the outer sect elder's spiritual power entering this person's body and smiled, "It seems the outer sect elder is about to have another prized disciple."
In Xiao Feng's view, such disciples did not meet the standard, and he believed that none of the disciples present could meet the standard.
In the short time it takes for an incense stick to burn, the outer sect elder released his hand, his brows furrowing slightly: "It's not that I'm unwilling to accept you as my disciple, but... your aptitude has already been set."
Many people present were stunned by these words.
Once his physical constitution is fully developed, it means he has passed the optimal age for training and is unlikely to have the ability to excel in the future.
The outer sect elder walked up to the mortal, used his spiritual power to heal all his injuries, and then waved his hand.
"Let's find a few people to take him down the mountain."
The Qingzong disciples exchanged glances, and several of them stepped forward, seemingly intending to take the person away.
However, before they could act, the mortal knelt before them again: "Please, please let me stay. I'll do anything you ask if you can let me stay."
At this moment, the outer sect elder lost interest in him and leaped to Xiao Feng's side, saying coldly, "Let's go, let's register the strength of the outer sect disciples."
Seeing the outer disciple about to leave, Xiao Feng couldn't help but ask him, "Is it because your aptitude is fixed that I can't accept you as a disciple?"
Because of his status as a direct disciple of the Qingzong Sect Master, the other elders dared not complain about him and returned to his side.
“Once his physical constitution is set, we have no way to increase the intensity of his cultivation. With his mortal body, reaching the second or third level is already the limit.”
No one wants to spend time training a second or third-tier cultivator, after all, these elders care about their reputation.
Hearing what the outer sect elders said, Xiao Feng took a deep breath: "No wonder you all don't want him."
At this point, the mortal had completely lost hope in the elders. The only thing he could do was to go to the disciples of the Azure Sect and offer to help them with their laundry and sweeping, just so he could stay in the Azure Sect.
Unfortunately, none of the Qingzong disciples dared to keep him by their side, since their master didn't want him, and keeping him around would only make him a menace.
In just ten breaths, the mortal arrived in front of Xiao Feng, knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times. He glanced at Xiao Feng's position and his face was full of despair.
The person standing next to the elder must be of high status; there is no way they would keep him by their side.
The mortal gave a self-deprecating, bitter laugh: "I've been climbing for months, hoping you'd give me a chance, but alas, fate has other plans."
Xiao Feng looked into his eyes, then turned to look at the outer sect elder: "Elder, if I remember correctly, you don't have any disciples under your name, do you?"
The outer sect elder looked at Xiao Feng with a surprised expression and nodded slightly: "Indeed, my identity is rather sensitive, and the inner sect disciples look down on my strength."
His strength ranked only last among the elders, so naturally no disciples became his disciples.
Otherwise, the outer sect elder would have no reason to come here with such enthusiasm; he too longed to take on a disciple of his own.
Xiao Feng glanced at the mortal and burst into laughter: "I've seen this man before. I once helped him out. His willpower is extraordinary. Why don't you... take him in?"
When the mortal heard that Xiao Feng had once helped him, he immediately thought of the strange way he regained his power that time.
Xiao Feng was worried that the mortal would reveal this matter, so he glanced at him and said, "I only saw your efforts. If you hadn't persevered, you wouldn't have been able to climb up either."
The outer sect elder frowned slightly as he watched Xiao Feng plead for the mortals.
As someone who frequently stayed by the sect leader's side, the outer sect elder had to give Xiao Feng face, even if he didn't respect the monk.
As he nodded, the mortal knelt before the two men with excitement on his face: "Thank you. Please don't hesitate to ask me for anything in the future, even if it means going through fire and water."
Seeing that the mortal was looking at him, Xiao Feng walked over to him and patted him on the shoulder.
"Your master has already made the choice for you. If you don't work hard and get expelled from the sect, then it's not my problem anymore."
Hearing Xiao Feng's subtle threat, the mortal nodded repeatedly: "I understand. I will definitely learn from my master from now on and won't embarrass you."
Xiao Feng laughed at the mortal's earnest expression, then turned to look at the outer sect elder: "Let's go then, and register the strength of the outer sect disciples as soon as possible."
As the mortals followed them away, the Qingzong disciples, seeing that there was no more excitement to watch, naturally dispersed.
In the short time it takes for an incense stick to burn, Xiao Feng and the outer sect elders worked together to register the strength of the outer sect disciples and returned to the main hall.
