That was a direct and incisive remark; with just a simple sentence, it utterly shattered Chu Fan's fragile little pride!
He didn't fly up here on purpose! That passage was like being caught in a tornado. If he hadn't been spinning around so much that he was dizzy, he wouldn't have fallen face-first without trying to land safely. Why is there still discrimination now?
How infuriating! Who does he think he is? Their upper realm is overflowing with spiritual energy. Just give him a tiny bit more time—just a tiny bit—and he'll be the second Void Refinement Realm cultivator! As the saying goes, fortunes change every thirty years, don't underestimate... Wait, when did Mo Xuanyu become a Void Refinement Realm cultivator?!
Chu Fan's mouth dropped open in surprise, and he nudged Yu Ling beside him, asking in a low voice, "Hey, Brother Mo, didn't you just break through to the Nascent Soul stage? How did you become a Void Refining stage cultivator?"
Yu Ling remained indifferent, speaking calmly and very humbly, "I only had a brief enlightenment in swordsmanship; I just broke through."
Just broke through? That's all?! Why didn't you break through earlier or later? Why did you have to leave me behind when we were both trying to reach the upper realm together?!
Chu Fan felt incredibly uncomfortable. Seeing Yu Ling's cultivation level improve so quickly made him feel even worse than if he had been killed!
[How pitiful. According to the normal script before the host possessed him, he should have already broken through to the Nascent Soul stage by defeating the villains and fighting the city's protectors.]
The system was gloating; seeing Chu Fan unhappy made it even happier, and it secretly complained to Yu Ling.
[After receiving guidance from the Demon Lord, his ever-present grandfather, and ascending directly through the righteous path to the Void Refining Realm, he'd probably receive the same treatment you have now, host.]
Yu Ling: So I'm actually following the main character's storyline now? How strange!
"Chu Fan, where do you want to go?"
Yu Ling, being very considerate, planned to take Chu Fan's suggestion, whose cultivation level had fallen further and further behind. Originally, it should have been his choice, since he was the protagonist.
As for himself? Once he finds the original body, he'll discard it all, including the original owner's body and that trash system! Where this body goes to live its life right now is completely unimportant.
"Let's go to Qixia Sect!!!" Damn it, how dare he look down on me! I'm a genius in the lower realm too! No way, this time I'll show him what's what, and one day he'll apologize for his rudeness today!
Chu Fan was clearly at odds with the red-robed cultivator who was arguing about cultivation level. Without even a moment's thought, he made his decision. Yu Ling didn't care what he was thinking. One dared to speak, and the other dared to act. These two well-known young geniuses in the lower realm directly entered a little-known, mid-ranking sect in the upper realm.
"Um, he's only at the Nascent Soul stage..."
The Qixia Sect member wanted to kick Chu Fan out, but seeing that Yu Ling seemed to want to go with Chu Fan, she swallowed her words about not wanting Chu Fan.
"Alright then, come on, let's go back to the sect first! My name is Cen Yan. Although you haven't officially joined the sect yet, you must have been eagerly accepted by my master's generation, so your seniority won't be low. You can call me Senior Brother in advance."
Fearing that Yu Ling might change her mind, this man pulled Yu Ling onto the flying magic weapon while saying this, without even saying goodbye. If Chu Fan hadn't been quick-witted and followed, he probably would have been left behind when the weapon took off.
[My god, why is Chu Fan always being disliked?]
Yu Ling: "How can he not be looked down upon? What kind of place is this? Loose immortals are everywhere, and the real big shots are people you can hardly even meet. How can a Nascent Soul cultivator like him be anything special?"
He arrived too early after all, but with a target to slap him in the face, Chu Fan should be able to improve his cultivation level soon. However, this time he doesn't intend to push the other party any further.
Qixia Sect is located in a beautiful place with mountains and water. Whether it is the environment or the area, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is abundant. It is far away from the hustle and bustle and is quiet enough. Even among those famous sects, this condition can be considered magnificent.
Unfortunately, cultivation level is the only standard for judging the strength of a sect. That's why they are so pitiful that they have to send Cen Yan, the sect's chief disciple, to search for new disciples. There's no way around it; the sect's style has always been to have fewer but better disciples. If they were to recruit more cultivators with low cultivation levels and poor aptitude to make up the numbers, that would be absolutely unacceptable.
As for Chu Fan? That was an exception, since he and Yu Ling were sold together. We couldn't just turn away a genius from the lower realm who ascended at the age of one hundred just because he was a weakling in the Nascent Soul stage, could we?
When Yu Ling and the others arrived, the main hall of Qixia Sect was already full of people, which meant that Cen Yan must have sent a message back beforehand.
After the three of them stood still, before they could even exchange a few words on the main topic, and after simply asking Yu Ling's name, they started clamoring to take Yu Ling under their wing as their personal disciples. As for how Chu Fan, a Nascent Soul cultivator, came from the lower realm, no one really cared.
Cen Yan was quite embarrassed. It was really embarrassing for the sect's higher-ups to be so unrefined. Yu Ling, on the other hand, wasn't listening to what they were saying at all. She was still thinking about how to find an opportunity to return to the Frozen Land to find her true form.
Only Chu Fan listened attentively, and he was practically bursting with anger. He was standing right there, a grown man, and nobody was even paying him any attention! This was outrageous! Absolutely outrageous!
This heated debate over the acceptance of disciples finally came to an end, just as the sect leader of Qixia Sect was growing impatient.
The final choice to acquire Yu Ling, this genius disciple, fell to a semi-retired sect expert who had the fewest disciples (or none at all) but the highest seniority.
That is, Si Beihan, the only expert of the Qixia Sect at the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, and also the sect leader's fellow disciple.
Incidentally, this powerful figure is not currently in the main hall; he himself is unaware that he will have such a nominal disciple.
Because everyone held the noble mentality of "if I can't have it, neither can you", they would rather arrange for Yu Ling to become the disciple of the sect's number one hermit who was too lazy to take on disciples and focused on cultivation, than give this opportunity to the others present.
In this way, they can legitimately use the title of "uncle" to give the other party more guidance and indulge in the pleasure of teaching a genius.
"Senior Brother Si is at a crucial juncture in his cultivation breakthrough. Would it be... dangerous for us to take on disciples for him like this?"
The sect leader was quite afraid of this eccentric senior brother, and seeing everyone so unanimously wanting to give Yu Ling to him, he hesitated.
The others offered words of comfort, essentially suggesting that Si Beihan simply hold the title of master, while they could work together to teach his apprentices.
