Started out getting scumbags, but then invested in the invincible Empress.

Chapter 14 The Hidden Sweeping Monk Master

Li Wudao had no questions about this ranking.

Jiang Churan's talent is indeed strong, especially since she has not yet awakened the Azure Phoenix bloodline.

Under the spotlight,

Ten young men and women stepped onto the stage, looking down at their disciples below, their spirits high and their faces radiant.

Seeing the envious looks coming from the audience, Li Wudao suddenly understood.

Perhaps this is one of the reasons why we need to become stronger?

This feeling of looking down on all living beings is truly irresistible.

"Now, please welcome the Sect Master to personally bestow the True Inheritance Award!"

After Elder Wu finished speaking, he gave up his seat.

"All ten of you are very good. I hope you can continue to work hard and become the backbone of the sect as soon as possible."

Sect Master Murong Yan walked up to the ten people and personally handed out the rewards to each of them.

A whole bottle of Jade Scale Pills and a low-grade Xuan-level spiritual weapon are quite valuable.

All the disciples were incredibly envious; the reward and the prestige were off the charts.

Those inner disciples who had just passed the assessment felt their joy faded considerably, and their lips curled into a bitter smile.

As expected of a true disciple, his status and treatment are far superior to those of the inner disciples.

The audience below was in an uproar, but the inner disciples were relatively calm.

The three thousand five hundred outer disciples were in an uproar; the psychological gap was too great.

In the end, they had nothing but an outer sect identity.

"Elder, do we outer disciples have cultivation resources? Is there any chance for us to become inner disciples in the future?"

One of the outer disciples, unwilling to accept this, asked the question.

This is also the sentiment of all the outer disciples; no one is willing to remain at the bottom of the sect forever.

"Of course there are. Regarding cultivation resources, the sect provides a fixed monthly stipend of spirit stones, which can be used for cultivation and trading..."

Elder Wu understood the crowd's dissatisfaction and patiently explained.

"Outer disciples can receive 10 low-grade spirit stones per month from the Internal Affairs Hall, inner disciples receive 50 low-grade spirit stones per month, and true disciples receive 500 low-grade spirit stones per month."

"Moreover, the sect has a mission hall, and you can also obtain cultivation resources by completing sect missions."

At this point, he continued, "As for promotion, that's also possible. The sect holds various competitions every year, such as quarterly and annual grand competitions, and those who perform well can also be promoted."

Upon hearing this, the outer disciples breathed a slight sigh of relief.

Although cultivation resources are scarce, at least there is still a chance to turn things around.

After calming everyone down,

Elder Wu looked at the six peak masters and cupped his hands slightly: "Chief Master, you may begin accepting disciples."

Instantly, all the sounds below disappeared.

Whether it was the outer gate or the inner gate, everyone stared intently.

The first master accepting disciples—that's the real highlight!

"Jiang Churan, would you be willing to join my Ziyun Peak? I will certainly teach you everything I know without holding back."

"Why don't you join my Jade Sword Peak? I will take you as my last disciple, and the peak master will be yours in the future."

"......"

All six peak masters extended olive branches, showing great sincerity.

at this time,

Murong Yan stood up, looked at the girl with a faint smile, and said, "Girl, would you be willing to become my disciple?"

The other peak masters were all dumbfounded.

The sect leader has only accepted one disciple in the past hundred years, but now he is considering taking on a disciple as well.

How can they possibly fight back now?

Without hesitation, Jiang Churan bowed deeply, her expression slightly complicated: "Disciple Jiang Churan greets Master!"

In her previous life, she had become his disciple.

If Murong Yan hadn't poured a lot of resources into her, the ancient Azure Phoenix bloodline wouldn't have been revived so quickly.

Similarly, it was under Murong Yan's protection that she was spared from being harmed by villains and was able to grow up safely.

It can be said that Murong Yan is her strongest support at present.

"Sect Master, you have no martial ethics!"

"Exactly, we all wanted it, and you snatched it away at the last minute!"

The top leaders had their eyes on Jiang Churan from the beginning, but they ended up wasting their time and were all unhappy.

"Ha ha!"

Murong Yan was in a great mood.

These old guys dared to make fun of him before, now it's time to teach them a lesson.

"Qi Xingyu, I am the head of the Blazing Sun Peak. Would you be willing to become my disciple?"

Cheng Yuanliang said.

"Disciple is willing."

Qi Xingyu readily agreed; he was already a pre-selected candidate, and this was merely a formality.

Two of the three most talented disciples have already passed away.

The remaining peak masters all turned their attention to Li Wudao and showered him with all sorts of sweet talk.

"Young man, come and become my disciple! You can use any cultivation resources you desire!"

"Don't listen to him! My Pill and Weapon Peak has plenty of elixirs and magical artifacts!"

The five peak masters were incredibly enthusiastic, surrounding Li Wudao with smiles as bright as chrysanthemums, trying their best to appear as approachable as possible.

After all, Li Wudao's comprehension was so extraordinary that it was enough to make them lose face.

Faced with this scene, the boy scratched his head, feeling lost and helpless.

He didn't know who to choose.

Suddenly, a system notification sounded in his mind.

[Ding! High-value investment target detected. Host, please take note!]

.........

Li Wudao was stunned and quickly activated his Haotian Eye to investigate.

Finally, his gaze settled on a disheveled old man who was dozing off.

Name: Xia Gucheng

【Age: 58】

[Talent: Mid-grade Saint-level]

[Special Physique: Geng Metal Sword Body (Royal Body)]

[Realm: Peak Martial Emperor]

[Fortune: Top-tier Heavenly Rank]

[Recent activities: Drinking and sleeping, listening to music in brothels, gardening, doing absolutely nothing.]

[Gengjin Sword Body: A king-level physique, a metal-attribute sword body that crushes metal spirit bodies. If one cultivates the sword path, it is fierce, domineering, and indestructible.]

Li Wudao's eyes widened after reading it.

This attribute panel is too powerful.

Look at that unconventional bird's nest hairstyle, sloppy clothes, and casual sitting posture; he exudes an "invincible confidence" at all times.

This is definitely the legendary hidden master!

Even at the peak of the Martial Emperor realm, his strength would likely be considered top-tier within the Xuan Tian Sect.

Li Wudao's breathing became somewhat rapid; he had to cling to this powerful figure.

If you become this old man's apprentice, you can first take advantage of the system and get a rebate.

Secondly, in the cultivation world, where the strong prey on the weak, having a powerful master is still very important.

With this in mind, Li Wudao made a decision instantly.

"Thank you for your kindness, but I have already decided to take another disciple as my master. I will not take anyone else as my master."

Upon hearing Li Wudao's refusal, the expressions of the other peak masters turned sour.

"Who is that person? I'd like to know who can be stronger than us?"

The leader of Danqi Peak snorted coldly.

At this moment, everyone, from the sect's higher-ups to the disciples, was stunned.

The five chief ministers extended a warm invitation, but he actually refused?

Under the varied gazes of the crowd,

Li Wudao remained calm, turning his head to point at the disheveled old man who was dozing off with his chin resting on his hand.

"this......."

The sect leader and the other peak masters were all stunned.

"Why don't you go to someone else? Although Peak Master Xia is the head of the Seventh Peak, he doesn't accept disciples, and there are no resources allocated to his sect. It would be a waste for you to go."

Murong Yan patiently persuaded him.

"Yes, Peak Master Xia never accepts disciples, and his whereabouts are unpredictable. Even if you go, you will only waste your talent and won't learn anything."

No matter what the elders said, Li Wudao refused to agree and insisted on becoming Xia Gucheng's disciple.

He came to Xuantian Sect for only three things.

First, take advantage of deals; second, take advantage of deals; third, take advantage of deals!

Another fat sheep has appeared; how could he let it get away?

Helpless, Murong Yan had no choice but to wake the dozing old man.

"Peak Master Xia, this boy possesses extraordinary comprehension and Earth-level talent. He is the second-ranked disciple this year, and he wishes to become your disciple. What do you think...?"
