Chapter 91 (1/2)

Tie Rukuang was definitely certain he wanted Fang Xing in his branch now, for three main reasons

The first reason was that Fang Xing seeainst a sixth-tier disciple despite being tier four—showing just howwas still young on top of that If Tie Rukuang was able to carefully teach and nurture hi would break into tier seven before even the age of twenty-one If that occurred, it meant the Duanzhen Valley would have produced a core disciple

The second reason had to deal with Bai Qianzhang Aside frorand-elder of the past, Bai Qianzhang did not have any friends, and Tie Rukuang himself was one of the few people to have a close relationshi+p with hi, that was reason enough for hiuide and support this boy He was also certain that even though the ru had been dis fro, there must have been some kind of relationshi+p between the two that had formed over the years

As for the third and final reason, Tie Rukuang did indeed owe Fang Xing a favor Bringing Fang Xing under his oings to be carefully nurtured would not only increase the number of disciples within his branch, but also return the favor he owed This was killing two birds with one stone; ouldn't do it?

It had to be known that even though the Qing-Yun Sect's four main valleys relied heavily on one another another, they also coh all four valleys had their own specializations—whether it be in alche, talismans, or formations—none of them were specialized in combat, so all of their respective disciples would often duel each other for the status and prestige of their branches Duanzhen Valley had always had more losses than wins in these scenarios, to the point that even Chief Elder Tie Rukuang could not bear it any longer With this boy, there ain soainst disciples from the other branches

Of course, Tie Rukuang's hadn't anticipated that Fang Xing would reject hi asked to join the valley In that ood beating

Seeing Tie Rukuang's intentions, Fang Xing ju on someone like this? I'll tell you now, the only place I want to join is the Hall of Heaven's Tribute Nothing else No matter how much you try to force me, even if I did join your branch, I would not take up your specialization”

Just as Tie Rukuang had raised his hand, he heard Fang Xing's explanation and lowered it back down ”You want to join the Hall of Heaven's Tribute?” he asked with quite some interest

”That's right!” Fang Xing sternly responded

'That explains it No wonder his strength is so many more tiers above his actual cultivation When shi+shu Bai had his, the boy s that would help hi to persuade Fang Xing once more, ”Kid, it's not that easy to join the Hall of Heaven's Tribute; you have to satisfy a few conditions The first is to reach at least the sixth tier of Spirit Stage, the second is that you have to have been in the sect for at least ten years, and the third is that you have to take one of the top three positions at a sect tournament held every three years… and that's before you even have a chance to join But once you're in, even if you're not a core disciple, you wouldn't be far off”

Fang Xing was left dumbstruck Two of the three conditions were ones he couldn't achieve right now, so what could he do?

Reaching the sixth tier would be easy, and if Fang Xing truly wanted to increase his cultivation level, it wouldn't take tooinside the sect for at least ten years, though… even if his days spent as a daotong were counted as well, it would only amount to about four years Did he really have to wait for another six years?

Tie Rukuang knew exactly what Fang Xing's concerns were ”Of course, that's just the rules as they are recorded There are still ways around it”

Fang Xing juht ”Like what?”

Tie Rukuang suarantee of your er require the minimum ten years, you wouldn't even need toas you feel your strength is enough, you'd be able to try your hand at the tournament trials”

”Do you know any Foundation Stage elders, then?” Fang Xing blurted out, now excited As soon as he said this, however, Fang Xing realized just how stupid the question was This frail old man in front of hiher than any ordinary Foundation Stage elder; having Tie Rukuang as a guarantor would likely work even better than some run-of-the-mill elder

Unsurprisingly, Tie Rukuang burst out in laughter ”As long as you join uarantee your spot in the Hall of Heaven's Tribute within the next three years”

Fang Xing shook his head ”Three years? That's too long!”

Tie Rukuang was at a loss for words ”If you think you're capable, there's a tournament trial at the end of this year”

Such news caused Fang Xing to smile ”Fine, it's a deal!”

Tie Rukuang kicked Fang Xing's rear ” 'Deal' your a! I was just infor you!” he cursed
