Thinking of this, how could Elder Jin Hua not accept Bai Chen as his good disciple? He stretched out his hand to tug at the white beard on his chin, revealing a proud smile, and said with a mouth full of praise: ”Good, very good, this old man wants you to be my disciple. The vice principal Sun Yue's matter, this disciple does not need to worry, although I am only a mere Elder, I am not afraid of Sun Yue.
When Elder Jin Hua said this, his face was filled with a proud expression. It was obvious that he was not really afraid of Sun Yue.
After seeing this scene, Bai Chen no longer had any worries in his heart. He shook his head and half-kneeled on the ground. With a respectful expression, he said to Elder Jin Hua, ”Master, please accept this disciple's bow.”
Only after Bai Chen kowtowed to Elder Jin Hua did the surrounding students regain their senses. When they heard Bai Chen's words, their faces were filled with envy and jealousy.
Some of the students' mouths were still sour as they said, ”Heavens, this Bai Chen is really amazing. He actually managed to make Elder Jin Hua accept him as a disciple. This is simply great luck. If I could also be accepted as a disciple by the elders, how great would that be!”
”Stop stinking here.”
All of a sudden, the surrounding students began to speak up. They looked at Bai Chen with eyes full of flattery.
Under the peculiar gazes of the crowd, Bai Chen followed Elder Jin Hua with a look of deference. The group of people majestically walked to the other side of the cave. After obtaining what they wanted, they were already prepared to return home.
The group of people walked towards another passage in the cave. Along the way, they saw some plants that emitted a faint spiritual energy. This time, before Ye Ling could say anything, Bai Chen bent down and picked up the plants that emitted a weak spiritual energy.
After seeing Bai Chen personally pluck the plants that contained the surrounding spiritual energy, the students beside Ye Ling did not make any sarcastic remarks. Instead, they naturally guessed Bai Chen's actions.
”This Bai Chen already has Elder Jin Hua as his backer, but he doesn't waste any ordinary spiritual herbs. No wonder he has the potential to become an expert of the Spirit Sect at such a young age …”
”That's right, that's right. It looks like we'll have to learn not to waste any spiritual herbs.”
After seeing Bai Chen's actions, some of the students imitated his actions. They stood by the side and reached out their hands to pick the spiritual herbs that no one wanted.
”What are you guys doing?” You actually dare to fight with me for these unwanted spiritual herbs, how poor are you?! ” When Bai Chen saw that his students were competing with him for the spiritual herbs, his heart was immediately filled with rage. If it wasn't for the fact that these spiritual herbs were ownerless, he definitely wouldn't have let anyone get their hands on them.
Just like that, the group walked into the passage. The cold air around them became weaker and weaker. The eyes of the Elder who was walking in front lit up. He opened his mouth and said with a smile, ”Everyone, we might be going out.”
”Great …” ”This is great …” Listening to what Elder Qing Yun had to say, the surrounding students could not hide their excitement. As long as they could get out, the rich harvest they had from this trip would be enough for them to exchange for what they wanted.
”Are we going out? I wonder how my companions are doing? ” When Bai Chen heard what Elder Qing Yun had to say, a look of reminiscence appeared on his face.
The more they looked ahead, the farther away from the cave, the more they felt the spiritual energy in the cave dry up. Gradually, they arrived at a cave filled with broken stone pillars.
”Look, the exit is right there!” When one of the students saw the hole that glowed with white light, a smile immediately appeared on his face. He strode towards the hole.
When this student arrived at the entrance of the cave, he discovered that the size of the cave entrance was just enough for a person to pass through. Not only that, the ice inside the cave was melting.
However, when the student looked outside through the hole, he immediately let out a strange cry. This was because in front of him was a huge frozen lake. The surface of the lake was gleaming white and a wave of cold energy was coming from it.
”It's the cold pond!” ”Damn it!” A shout full of regret came from this student's mouth.
What? Cold Pond? I'm back near the cold pond? When Bai Chen heard the student's shout, his eyes lit up, but his heart was filled with disapproval. With his physical body, he would be able to pass through the cold pond.
