Heavenly Sword Sect
Deng Tianning held the communication talisman and was both surprised and shocked by its contents. After hearing the elder's request for instructions, he pondered for a while.
"Silver aptitude, gold aptitude, these little guys have truly exceeded my expectations once again."
I thought I had given them a high enough evaluation, but I was wrong to underestimate them. Haha, I admire Zhou Laozu's vision more and more now.
"There's no need to send anyone to disturb them yet. Qin Feng and the others have the guest elder tokens of our Heavenly Sword Sect, so they are now members of our Heavenly Sword Sect. No one can take them away."
"But sect leader, these people may not be reasonable."
Deng Tianning nodded, "You're right, but Qin Feng isn't someone to be trifled with. If we anger him, it's hard to say who will suffer the consequences."
He paused for a moment, then said, "But just to be on the safe side, I'll have Elder Sun Fan go there. He can step in at the crucial moment, and that way we'll be absolutely sure of everything going smoothly."
Seeing that he had made a decision, the elder said nothing more.
...
Tianjiao City, at the testing stele.
Xiong Fei of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect, Ye Jing of the Medicine King Valley, Feng Ji of the Joyful Union Sect, and Bai Yanbing of the Flower Washing Sect all focused their attention on Xiao Fan.
These people had burning eyes, wishing they could take Xiao Fan as their disciple and pull him into their own sect.
The other passersby present also looked at Xiao Fan with great envy. If nothing unexpected happened, this kid would definitely soar to great heights.
Xiong Fei of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect ignored Ye Jing of the Medicine King Valley's teasing and instead said to Xiao Fan with anticipation:
"Little guy, you are a once-in-a-century genius with golden aptitude, an unparalleled prodigy. Only our Ten Thousand Beasts Sect is suitable for you."
Yan Yong from our Ten Thousand Beasts Sect also has a gold-level aptitude; you can exchange ideas with each other.
"Join my Ten Thousand Beasts Sect, and I'll provide you with the best cultivation techniques, the finest spirit beasts, the highest status, and even have the sect leader personally guide you, allowing you to soar to great heights from this day forward. What do you say?"
Everyone was stunned when they heard Xiong Fei offer such generous terms.
"Isn't this a bit too exaggerated? This isn't accepting disciples, it's welcoming our ancestor! They're treating him like he's about to melt in their hands."
"Sigh, I'm really envious, but thinking about it, it's normal. This kid has gold-level talent, he's an unparalleled prodigy."
"Thinking about it, even a bronze-level talent is one in a hundred, a silver-level talent is one in ten thousand, and a gold-level talent is one in a hundred years. It's not too much to try to win them over."
Xiao Fan, the person involved, didn't feel much of a stir. Being recognized and won over by others was indeed something to be happy about, as it was a form of self-affirmation.
But Xiao Fan knew very well that he wasn't a genius, let alone a prodigy. With Qin Feng as a shining example, he was well aware of his own limitations.
Qin Feng has always been his idol. No matter what difficulties or crises he encounters, he can turn danger into safety and improve himself.
Xiao Fan made a decision without hesitation, wanting to refuse.
At this moment, Ye Jing from Medicine King Valley spoke up first. She dared not gamble; if Xiao Fan agreed, it would be troublesome.
A talent with gold-level qualifications is crucial to the rise and fall of a sect, so she dared not be careless.
"Young friend, don't worry. My Medicine King Valley is no worse than the Myriad Beasts Sect. They even ask us to refine pills and medicines."
"Young friend, if you join my Medicine King Valley, you'll not only receive abundant cultivation techniques, secret formulas, and prestigious status, but you'll also become a revered alchemy master. Wouldn't that be even better?"
Xiong Fei was immediately displeased upon hearing this.
"Ye Jing, what do you mean by this? Are you trying to steal people from my Ten Thousand Beasts Sect? Didn't I pay you for having your Medicine King Valley refine pills for me?"
"Also, why didn't you mention that you wanted spirit beasts from our Ten Thousand Beasts Sect?"
Ye Jing and Xiong Fei started arguing.
The onlookers watched this scene unfold, a familiar sight. They recognized it; hadn't Feng Ji of the Hehuan Sect and Bai Yanbing of the Huanhua Sect staged something similar before?
Watching these important figures, whom they rarely saw, argue over Xiao Fan, they felt both envious and jealous.
"Wow, this kid is really lucky. How did he end up with a gold-level aptitude?"
"I wish it were me."
"Stop dreaming. Which faction do you think this kid will join? The Ten Thousand Beasts Sect or the Medicine King Valley?"
"That's not necessarily true. Didn't he reject the Joyful Union Sect before?"
“This time the situation is different. The Hehuan Sect has a conflict with them. Only a fool would refuse now.”
Qin Feng, Leng Yuexi, and Yin Tiantian watched them vying for Xiao Fan, smiles playing on their lips.
"Xiao Fan has become a hot commodity now."
Seeing that their argument was getting more and more heated, Xiao Fan quickly interrupted, "Seniors, I appreciate your kindness, but I will not join your faction."
Upon hearing this, Xiong Fei and Ye Jing, who were still arguing, immediately stopped. They looked at each other in disbelief and stared at Xiao Fan.
Their expressions were full of confusion, as if they had misheard. They had both refused? They asked in unison, "What did you say?"
Faced with their questions, Xiao Fan calmly replied, "I appreciate your kindness, seniors, but I will not be joining your sect for the time being."
Feng Ji and Bai Yanbing felt much better after hearing Xiao Fan's refusal.
The onlookers stared at Xiao Fan in disbelief.
"What a fool! This kid clearly tested out as having gold aptitude. Has he lost his mind?"
Xiong Fei looked at Xiao Fan seriously. "Tell me, why?"
Xiao Fan repeated Qin Feng's words when he rejected Deng Tianning: "I am a free spirit, I am not used to being bound by rules and regulations, and I do not want to join any faction."
Upon hearing this, Yin Tiantian pouted and said, "Junior brother, that sounds familiar."
Qin Feng smiled and said, "Study hard, watch carefully, and maybe you'll be next."
