The next day, the big event took place as scheduled. Early in the morning, An Ge and her other friends arrived at the agreed location.
However, there were even more people this time. They all came because they heard their senior brothers and sisters talk about their personalities yesterday, and that's why they wanted to make friends with them.
An Ge roughly guessed the reason and couldn't help but feel a little proud. She really did have personal charm; look, she had made so many fellow disciples in less than two days.
As for character, even though An Ge hasn't been around much in the sect, it's clear that the atmosphere in Tianyan Sect has always been good, and there are no brainless villains like those in novels.
Of course, it's also possible that because of her high status, she only encounters "good people."
An Ge took out more snacks, and the group ate and chatted as if they were old friends.
At first, the new disciples were a little reserved, but after a while, everyone relaxed.
Soon it was Yu Xinghe's turn. This time, Yu Xinghe seemed to be a completely different person from yesterday. In just a few rounds, he defeated his senior brother, whose strength was similar to his own.
"Hiss, where did Senior Brother Yu go for further studies?" An Ge even suspected that he had a mysterious space where he could practice combat.
"His progress is too fast, isn't it? Of course, Junior Brother Yu is talented and might be able to do it too, but I just feel something is off."
Xie Ying frowned, somewhat puzzled.
The other senior brothers and sisters nodded in agreement. A senior sister from Beast Taming Peak reminded them, "This person's aura is a bit off. In any case, everyone should be careful in the future."
The people of Beast Taming Peak, like the spirit beasts, are quite sensitive to auras. When she said this, everyone was initially just puzzled, but now they became alert.
An Ge secretly became more vigilant; it seemed that Yu Xinghe indeed had many tricks up his sleeve.
She took the opportunity to examine Yu Xinghe with her Insightful Eye and was almost certain that Yu Xinghe was the Chosen One. However, An Ge would not easily make a move unless the other party posed a threat to her.
Even the direct disciples could see that something was wrong with Yu Xinghe, let alone the elders.
The elder of Beast Taming Peak asked the elder of Weapon Forging Peak with some curiosity, "Has Yu Xinghe cultivated some kind of evil technique? He clearly has the aura of another person on his body, as if he has been possessed."
The elder of the Refining Peak was astonished the moment he saw the change in Yu Xinghe's aura. It wasn't that he wanted to protect Yu Xinghe, but as his disciple, he couldn't make a judgment about him based on a slight anomaly.
"Perhaps we are mistaken. There are countless martial arts techniques in the world, and the art of possession is not necessarily an evil or heretical practice."
The other elders exchanged glances, secretly feeling that Yu Xinghe's cultivation method was somewhat improper. However, considering the temperament of the elders from the Weapon Refining Peak, they wisely kept quiet.
Fortunately, Yu Xinghe is not from our peak. If any problems arise, let the weapon refining peak worry about it.
Xun Kuang looked at Yu Xinghe's somewhat smug expression and sighed, "You should pay more attention to your disciple in the future."
The elder of the Weapon Refining Peak opened his mouth, but still agreed, "Yes, Sect Leader."
It's not appropriate for outsiders to interfere in matters between the chosen ones. If Yu Xinghe has any problems, his junior nephew will handle it. Thinking of this, Xun Kuang breathed a sigh of relief.
He released his divine sense and saw An Ge eating and drinking with several fellow disciples, having a great time. His lips twitched slightly.
Those who wiped their mouths with their sleeves while eating, those who laughed loudly and staggered, those who snatched food—none of them looked proper.
The disciples of Tianyan Sect all have an air of otherworldly elegance, so how come they become so down-to-earth after interacting with An Ge?
Well, I guess that's the charm of my junior apprentice?
An Ge thought so too. After the competition, she and Lie Yan were in high spirits, carrying a bunch of gifts from their senior brothers and sisters.
"My senior brothers and sisters are so hospitable. I only treated them to some food, and they gave me so many treasures."
Lie Yan nodded, looking somewhat embarrassed.
At least An Ge provided food, but he ate, drank, and took things.
"I will refine more pills when I get back. Although the pills are not of very high grade yet, they are still useful. I will distribute them to you later."
"Then I won't stand on ceremony. I'm so lucky to have an alchemist friend."
Lie Yan smiled, but in his heart he was thinking about An Ge's talent.
My master had mentioned that An Ge's talent for alchemy was exceptional, far surpassing his own. My master had lamented more than once that it was such a waste to have such talent devoted to magical arts.
Thinking of this, Lie Yan said, "Human talent is more suited to alchemy, so why not spend more time on it?"
An Ge smiled and said, "My talents aren't limited to alchemy. I can't learn everything. I'm still young, and I have plenty of time in the future. There's no rush. Besides, I have you as a friend now. Surely I won't be short of pills in the future."
Lie Yan couldn't help but laugh, "Of course we can't be short of them! Don't worry, I can't guarantee anything else, but I'll make sure you have enough pills."
An Ge grinned. Had he successfully latched onto the coattails of the chosen one?
An Ge hummed a little tune as she returned to Tianwu Peak. As soon as she entered, she sensed an unusual aura.
Her eyes lit up, and she ran towards the center, exclaiming, "Master, Master, you've come out of seclusion?"
Jiang Shang suddenly appeared, his face beaming with uncontrollable smiles upon seeing An Ge, but his words carried a hint of disdain. "Why are you running? Your master isn't going to get lost. How old are you? Why are you still so careless?"
“Master, I haven’t seen you for more than half a year. I miss you so much.”
Jiang Shang gave her a disapproving look, but secretly he was delighted. "Smooth talker."
When I met my master this time, I felt that his aura was more restrained, and there was a sense of returning to simplicity.
"Master, why did you suddenly come out of seclusion?" She thought she would have to wait for several years.
"Get ready, you'll be undergoing your tribulation soon. If I sense your presence before the tribulation, wake up and check on you." Jiang Shang's casual remark startled An Ge.
Her master is too amazing. In just over half a year, he is already preparing to ascend to immortality.
Seeing An Ge's shocked expression, Jiang Shang stroked his beard smugly. "Stop looking at me with that ignorant look. To me, this is nothing special."
The high-end "Versailles" often only requires simple words, and her master is indeed as narcissistic as ever.
But who can blame her when her master is so talented? Having talent isn't called narcissism, it's called confidence.
"Then I can really walk sideways from now on."
Jiang Shang glanced at An Ge's cultivation level and concealed his shock.
Fortunately, he was quite talented, otherwise he would have been surpassed by his apprentice. Everyone said he was a genius, and his apprentice was a freak.
"Okay, enough about me. How have you been lately?"
An Ge recounted her experiences, and at the end, she proudly took out the Azure Flame and said, "Look, my divine weapon."
Jiang Shang smiled throughout An Ge's speech, "Not bad, as expected of my disciple. We, master and disciple, are meant to scare others with our talent."
An Ge chuckled, showing no remorse whatsoever for scaring others.
