Everyone stared at the test stone tablet emitting a golden light, and the entire place erupted in excitement.
"This is actually a gold-level talent! My God, I've never seen anything like it before!"
"This is a once-in-a-century prodigy! When was the last time a peerless genius with gold-level talent appeared? It's been so long that I've forgotten."
"I've forgotten the exact time, but it certainly hasn't happened in the last twenty years."
"If I remember correctly, Yan Yong from the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect seems to have a gold-level aptitude. He's only in his thirties and has already reached the Nascent Soul stage. I heard he's preparing to break through to the Divine Transformation stage. He's truly a monstrous talent."
Xiao Fan was also very excited at this moment. Even though Qin Feng said that the stone tablet was only for reference, this affirmation of himself still made him overjoyed and filled with pride.
He clenched his fists and returned to Qin Feng and the others.
Yin Tiantian patted his shoulder, pretending to be angry, and said smugly, "You little rascal, you've stolen all my thunder."
Xiao Fan gave a simple, honest smile and scratched his head. "Hehe, I didn't mean to."
Yin Tiantian chuckled, "Just kidding. But I didn't expect this much. I knew you were a little pervert, but I didn't expect you to be this perverted. It seems I'll have to work harder in the future, or I'll be left behind by you."
Xiao Ling, the sword spirit nurtured in Yin Tiantian's dantian, quickly comforted her:
"Sister, don't be discouraged. This stone tablet test is just a reference. Who can say what the future holds? You have the inheritance of the immortal sword, so you definitely won't fall behind."
Yin Tiantian responded in her mind, "Xiaoling, don't worry, I know. Junior Brother told me that I won't take it to heart. I am a remarkable woman who will become an emperor."
Leng Yuexi nodded to Xiao Fan, "Not bad, Xiao Fan, keep up the good work."
Qin Feng smiled at Xiao Fan and encouraged him, "Not bad. Although it's just a reference, it still proves that you are excellent. Keep up the good work."
Xiao Fan nodded emphatically, "Yes, young master, sister, I will definitely work harder."
Tang Qing of the Hehuan Sect, whose heart was originally calm, felt a sharp pain; without comparison, there would be no hurt.
They actually have a gold aptitude, while he only has a bronze aptitude, not even silver. It's impossible not to feel jealous.
Xiao Xue'er's beautiful eyes showed surprise as she curiously looked at Xiao Fan.
You wouldn't believe it until you see it; Xiao Fan is so young, only twelve years old, yet he's already at the same cultivation level as her.
This diminished her initial joy and excitement at receiving a silver-level aptitude test by at least half. She had thought she was already quite excellent, but it turned out there were still experts out there.
She could probably understand how Tang Qing felt earlier; he was clearly upset.
Feng Ji and Bai Yanbing also realized what was happening and looked at Xiao Fan with burning eyes.
Those burning gazes could melt a person.
Bai Yanbing wanted to take Xiao Fan into the Huanhua Sect, but the thought that the Huanhua Sect only accepted female disciples gave her a headache. The pain of seeing something good but not being able to possess it was too unbearable.
Feng Ji looked at Xiao Fan with deep admiration.
“Young friend, I see you have extraordinary talent and are clearly born to cultivate. Why not join my Joyful Union Sect and soar to great heights? I guarantee to provide you with the best resources, and even have the sect leader personally mentor you.”
The disciples of the Hehuan Sect were stunned, not to mention others. This was probably the best treatment the sect could offer.
Upon hearing this, Tang Qing felt even more gloomy. He was filled with resentment towards the injustice of fate and the arrangements of heaven. Why wasn't he a gold-level talent, or even a silver-level talent, but a bronze-level talent?
Bai Yanbing, who couldn't have it herself, certainly wouldn't let her old rival have it either. She said to Xiao Fan:
"Young friend, you saw clearly how that old man treated your companion. The Hehuan Sect has a lot of filth; don't fall for his tricks."
He talks a good game, but who knows what he's really like? If you want to join our faction, I can introduce you to someone much better than this old geezer.
Enraged, Feng Ji pointed at Bai Yanbing and shouted:
"You crazy woman, you can't stand seeing others do well just because you can't take on male disciples yourself."
Young friend, don't believe her nonsense. All the outstanding disciples of my Joyful Union Sect receive proper training; how could we possibly do such a thing?
Xiao Fan looked up at him and said, "I will not join your Hehuan Sect."
This short sentence, imbued with unwavering determination, clearly expressed Xiao Fan's attitude towards the Hehuan Sect.
Feng Ji was extremely depressed.
Bai Yanbing laughed heartily, "A very wise decision. I can introduce you to a suitable sect."
At this moment, she was also considering who to sell such a huge favor to. No matter what sect it was, a genius with gold-level talent would be eager to have it.
Apart from the Huanhua Sect, which only accepts female disciples.
Bai Yanbing was calculating away when a hearty laugh was heard.
"Haha, there's no need for Fellow Daoist Bai's recommendation. I think our Ten Thousand Beasts Sect is just right."
A burly figure appeared, a smile playing on his lips, his gaze fixed on Xiao Fan as if he were looking at a precious treasure, unable to look away.
The man had well-defined facial features, a high nose bridge, and powerful muscle lines that accentuated his masculine charm.
Bai Yanbing raised an eyebrow when she saw who it was. "Xiong Fei, I didn't expect you to be here too."
Feng Ji looked at Xiong Fei and said quietly, "Don't be too happy yet, they might not agree to your request."
He can accept not getting it himself, but he'd be even more upset if someone else got it.
Before Xiong Fei could speak, another beautiful figure appeared in the sky.
The visitor had a small gourd hanging from his waist, giving him a somewhat charitable air.
"It's really lively here. How could Medicine King Valley miss out on such a good thing?"
Xiong Fei frowned, watching the newcomers warily. Needless to say, they were here to snatch him away; he had just overheard Xiao Fan rejecting Feng Ji and Bai Yanbing, making the people from Medicine King Valley his biggest rivals.
"Ye Jing, I didn't expect you to come too."
The newcomer was Ye Jing from Medicine King Valley. She was not only a Nascent Soul cultivator, but also a master alchemist.
Ye Jing smiled and said, "You, Xiong Fei, have never been one to get involved in anything, but this time you got the news and ran faster than I did."
Bai Yanbing knew this would happen; she guessed the news had already spread like wildfire when Yin Tiantian tested her silver aptitude.
Now, a once-in-a-century gold qualification has emerged, and no top-tier power can ignore it. People from all sides have been sending people here.
Even Xiong Fei, who usually doesn't care about anything, rushed over anxiously.
The onlookers were utterly shocked; they had expected it to be a sensation, but they never imagined it would be this sensational.
The top-tier forces in Yizhou—the Hehuan Sect, Huanhua Sect, Wanshou Sect, and Yaowang Valley—have arrived. Apart from the disbanded Daoba Sect, only the Tianjian Sect remains. Such a scene is quite rare.
This is the residence of the Heavenly Sword Sect Master.
Deng Tianning was holding a communication talisman when he saw its contents and was both surprised and delighted.
He felt that making Qin Feng and the others guest elders of the Heavenly Sword Sect was extremely wise.
An elder nearby cautiously asked, "Sect Leader, what are our arrangements? Should we send someone?"
