C13 (1/2)

After a while, someone called us in. Perhaps it was due to the mutual appreciation of the competition. Fushui and I both came closer to each other. The ten of us lined up in a row and walked into the hall with apprehension in our hearts.

The format of the hall was very heavy, giving off a psychological pressure. The tables and chairs inside were extremely neat. I didn't know what material the tables and chairs were made of, but from the looks of it, they weren't ordinary bamboo either. In the center of the hall, there was a huge incense burner with green smoke rising from it. It looked like it belonged to a celestial being.

There was a middle-aged man sitting in the hall. Although he was dressed in green, his face looked kind, but there was a domineering air to him. There were two old men sitting below him, one of them was Elder Qiu Xi, and the other one didn't recognize him.

Naturally, we can guess who this person is, so we hurriedly bowed to pay our respects.

”Disciple pays his respects to the Sect Leader!” ”Greetings, Elder Qiu Xi, greetings …”

Seeing that we were all rolling our eyes, the old man chuckled and said: ”The old Taoist Ling Xuan is the Peak Master of the seventh peak.”

Upon hearing that it was Elder Ling Xuan, we hurriedly bowed and said: ”Disciple greets Elder Ling Xuan, please forgive us!”

Elder Qiu Xi snorted coldly, but before she could say anything, the Sect Leader waved his hand and said, ”Are these your ten disciples?”

”Yes, Sect Leader, have a look. Are you satisfied?”

”Hehe, it doesn't matter if I say it. Ling Xuan, how about you take a look at them?”

Elder Ling Xuan smiled, nodded his head and said: ”That's right, we are all good seedlings. Your thirteenth peak is leading our seventh peak again, haha.”

”Who are these top three people?” The Sect Leader looked at us with interest.

”Qiu Daoping, Ling Kong, Fu Xi, the three of you, come forward!” Elder Qiu Xi said softly.

The three people of Qiu Da Ping's group took two steps forward with a respectful expression. Although they didn't know if they were sincere or not, the Sect Leader was still quite satisfied with what they saw.

”Disciple Qiu Deping greets the Sect Leader!”

”Disciple Ling Kong greets the Sect Leader!”

”Disciple Fu Xi greets the Sect Leader!”

”Mm, not bad.” The Sect Leader smiled and turned to look at Elder Ling Xuan.

When Elder Ling Xuan felt the Sect Leader's gaze, he coughed twice and said: ”Sect Leader, every time this old Daoist calculated, he would consume quite a bit of spirit energy!”

”Hmph, you old bastard, you're too stingy. How about I give you a few bottles of Spirit Opening Pills?” The Sect Leader did not say anything, but Elder Qiu Xi's expression was not happy as she said coldly.

”How many bottles?” Not only did that Elder Ling Xuan not appreciate it, he even started to bargain.

”You!” Elder Qiu Xi was instantly angered and said hatefully, ”This is infuriating me to death, is ten bottles enough?”

Elder Ling Xuan shook his head and extended three fingers: ”Thirty bottles!”

Elder Qiu Xi glared at us and stood up halfway. She glanced at us and then forcibly sat back down. She snorted and didn't say anything.

As the few of us watched them bargain, we were surprised and amused at the same time. However, we had no choice but to continue to act respectful.

Elder Qiu Xi squinted at Elder Ling Xuan, sighed and nodded. Elder Ling Xuan also nodded his head. However, his smile was a little complacent. It seemed that he had struck it rich.

”You youngsters, come over here. Let this old man have a look!” Elder Ling Xuan waved at the three of them, gesturing for them to come over. I felt unsatisfied, why is it just the three of them, what about us?

Seeing that they were a bit timid, Elder Qiu Xi was infuriated. ”What are you all so slow for? That old man is someone I bought for you. Hurry up!”

”According to this ranking battle, remember, don't open your eyes!”

Qiu Da Ping was the first one, and with his dried up right hand, Elder Ling Xuan pointed at the space between his eyebrows and slowly slid down, his mouth muttering something. When he slipped into the air, he suddenly stopped and slapped the top of his head, and after a long while, he retracted his hand and nodded, ”Although this child is born stupid, he has outstanding talent, looks like a hundred beauties, and can be accepted as a disciple.”

Upon hearing this, the Sect Leader and Elder Qiu Xi both nodded their heads. They seemed quite satisfied.

After which, it was still in the air for a long while before Elder Ling Xuan spoke, ”This guy has the face of a Ash Wolf, and his intelligence is extraordinary. He has courage and foresight, but his sharpness is too strong, and is likely to injure his own family.”

When it came to Fushui, a look of admiration appeared on his face. He nodded and praised him, ”The Haoyang Appearance is loyal, it allows one to grow righteous, and it allows one to temper one's will.”

”Hmm, not bad. These three look pretty good. They can become direct descendants. In a few decades, they will definitely become the pillars of power!”

Hearing Elder Ling Xuan's boasting, the Sect Leader could not help but nod his head with a smile on his face. However, Elder Qiu Xi sighed and shook her head slightly, seeming to be disappointed.

The Sect Leader glanced at the slightly desolate Elder Qiu Xi, his eyes somewhat dejected. ”The Thirteenth Peak provides many talents to the sect, many of which are heaven's pride experts. Can't you choose one of them and pass on your legacy?”
