Chapter 652: Butterfly Slave (19)
In the end, Wen Wan became one of the core disciples. However, Wen Wan felt that she was also looked down upon. Many people were ashamed of her, but she didn't care. She didn't think that being able to run away was shameful. After all, in critical moments, it's better to run fast than to fight fiercely.
And why fight when you can run away?
Isn't that stupid?
And so, Wen Wan and nineteen others became the core disciples of this year's freshmen.
"As core disciples, you will receive the best cultivation resources. I hope you will live up to expectations," Elder Qi said. "Prepare yourselves well in the time ahead. You will be assigned to various elders. If you can become a personal disciple of an elder, it will be of great benefit to you."
Wen Wan raised her hand, "Does the sect leader still accept disciples? I heard that the sect leader has three personal disciples."
Elder Qi: "The sect leader does not accept disciples."
"Does Senior Brother Gu Liuyun accept disciples? I don't need to become an apprentice of the elders, but can I become Senior Brother Gu Liuyun's apprentice?" Wen Wan's words made Elder Qi laugh. "Can I know why you want to become Liuyun's apprentice?"
Wen Wan instantly became excited, her eyes even reddening slightly. "Elder, you don't know, I came to Tianli Sect for Senior Brother Gu Liuyun. He saved my life back then. If it weren't for him, I would have died long ago. Our village was invaded by demons, and at the critical moment, Gu Liuyun descended like a god. From that moment on, I vowed that I must see Gu Liuyun in this life and thank him in person."
Wen Wan wasn't just making this up.
Gu Liuyun went down the mountain to gain experience, slaying demons and monsters. The good deeds he did and the people he saved were countless.
Elder Qi: "I see. However, your Senior Brother Liuyun does not accept disciples. But if you want to express your gratitude, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future."
Wen Wan: "Fine, as long as I can see Senior Brother Liuyun, I will definitely stick with him no matter what."
Elder Qi: "..."
Other core disciples: "..."
...
Three days later.
It was time for the elders to choose their disciples. Tianli Sect had four core elders, who were the highest-ranking members besides the sect leader. They were far superior to Elder Qi. Elder Qi and many other elders were merely teachers of Tianli Sect, and the title of elder was more of a formality. However, these four elders held real power.
Everyone has their own territory.
Wen Wan looked at the four elders in the upper positions. The smiling man on the far left was Elder Chen Lianhua of Lotus Peak, a seventh-grade array master.
The next one to the right is a fat monk, Elder Lin Qingzhu of Qingzhu Peak, who is in charge of alchemy and is a seventh-grade alchemist.
The next girl looks to be in her thirties, but she is actually several hundred years old. She is alluring and beautiful. She is Yao Qianyue, an elder of Qianyue Peak, the only female elder, and a master swordsman.
The last one is Elder Gao Linyuan of Linyuan Peak, a seventh-grade weapon crafting master.
Moreover, all four of them have reached the Martial God stage. It can be said that apart from the sect leader Chen Jiu, a peak Martial God expert, they are the four most powerful people in the Tianli Sect.
The sheer oppressive feeling alone makes one instinctively want to submit.
I don't even have the courage to look at it.
"Are you the core disciples of this term?" Elder Lin Qingzhu asked.
Elder Qi: "Reporting to Elder Qingzhu, these twenty are the core disciples with the highest talent in this batch. Seven of them have Heaven-grade spiritual roots, and most of the others have entered the Spirit Realm stage."
"Seven Heavenly Grade Spiritual Roots, that's quite good this time. It seems the quality of our Tianli Sect's disciples is getting higher and higher. Qianyue, have any of you taken a liking to them?"
"Qi Lian".
Qi Lian stepped forward, and Yao Qianyue said, "I watched your match. You are very talented, and most importantly, you have the determination to become a swordsman. Would you like to become my disciple?"
Qi Lian: "This disciple is willing."
Qi Lian became the first disciple to be chosen. Yao Qianyue glanced at the others, but her gaze never fell on Wen Wan, clearly indicating that she didn't think much of her. She then selected two more disciples, one of the Heavenly Rank and the other of the Upper Rank, both of whom were sword masters.
"Since Elder Qianyue has made her choice, then it's my turn," Lin Qingzhu said, glancing at all the disciples before finally saying, "You all have excellent talents, but for us alchemists, being able to control spiritual fire is the most basic requirement, so fire-attribute spiritual roots are more suitable. It's not that other spiritual roots can't make you an alchemist, but it will be much more difficult. Qi Huohuo, you have a high-grade fire spiritual root, would you be willing to become my disciple?"
Qi Huohuo, with fiery red hair, stepped forward and said, "This disciple is willing."
"Chen Zihan, you also have a superior fire spirit root. Would you be willing to become my disciple?"
These two were the only two people among the twenty to have fire-attribute spiritual roots. Everyone envied Chen Zihan for getting the opportunity to become a personal disciple, but Chen Zihan refused.
She refused and instead looked at Yao Qianyue, "Elder Qianyue, I would rather become a sword cultivator. My purpose in coming here is to become Elder Qianyue's disciple and beg Elder Qianyue to accept me as your apprentice."
Everyone: "!!!"
Chen Zihan is really bold. She actually rejected Elder Qingzhu and expressed her desire to enter Elder Qianyue's Qianyue Peak for cultivation.
Everyone was curious whether Elder Qianyue would want Chen Zihan.
After all, although Chen Zihan is a bit arrogant, she has great talent and ranks among the top three among all the core disciples.
Yao Qianyue looked at Chen Zihan and said, "You are not suitable to join my Qianyue Peak."
"Why? What do I lack compared to Qi Lian and the others?" Chen Zihan was unconvinced. Why could Qi Lian enter Qianyue Peak, but she couldn't? She was clearly much better than Qi Lian.
Yao Qianyue: "Too many distractions, not suitable."
Chen Zihan: "..."
Elder Qingzhu sighed, "Elder Qianyue, you're being too harsh on your disciple. Isn't it normal for young people to be emotionally unstable? We were like that at the beginning too."
Looking at Chen Zihan, he said, "Don't be discouraged, there will be other opportunities in the future."
Chen Zihan was greatly shocked, but she couldn't lower her proud head. However, she regretted in her heart why she hadn't joined Elder Qingzhu's sect.
Elder Qingzhu accepted one disciple and asked the others, "Does anyone want to learn alchemy?"
Two people raised their hands.
Elder Qingzhu first tested their aptitudes, but ultimately did not accept them as his personal disciples, since talent is the most important factor in alchemy.
"Although you have not become my disciples, you can still follow this path in the future. Our Tianli Sect has many powerful alchemists, and I will guide you."
"Thank you, Elder Qingzhu."
Wen Wan felt that these elders were asking too much, and that's why they only accepted so few personal disciples. She had no hope left. It was just a pity that the sect leader hadn't even shown up yet. If she could become Gu Liuyun's junior sister, then this mission would be much easier to complete.
