Azure Wave World.

Shinguang Sect.

The sound of the Morning Bell rang out continuously, and all the disciples awoke, full of vigor, breathing in and out to refine their qi.

The sounds of morning practice echoed throughout the entire sect.

It was full of vitality.

On Seven Colors Peak, Qi Yuan lay on his bed. The sound of the Morning Bell was particularly grating, so he covered his ears.

The Wooden Cat Puppet also opened its mouth at the appropriate time, making a sound.

"Time to get up!"

"Time to get up!"

Qi Yuan waved his hand, and a small Wooden Fish Snack was stuffed into the Wooden Cat Puppet's mouth, instantly silencing it.

He changed his position and went back to sleep comfortably.

As the saying goes, the sun is high and I sleep alone; who is the immortal? I am the immortal!

It was unknown how much time had passed before Qi Yuan finally woke up leisurely.

He took a deep breath of air.

"Hmm, the air in this other world is quite sweet."

Qi Yuan was originally one of the masses on Blue Star, having transmigrated to this world half a year ago.

Unlike his previous life, this world possessed the extraordinary; it possessed cultivators.

By a stroke of luck, Qi Yuan had joined the Divine Light Gate, becoming a disciple of Seven Colors Peak—and its only disciple at that.

Qi Yuan finished washing up, dressed neatly, and rose to leave the courtyard.

Yesterday, his master had sent a message down, instructing him on a few matters.

Qi Yuan stood halfway up the mountain and looked up toward the peak, which towered into the clouds, ethereal and filled with immortal energy.

Qi Yuan looked at the palace in the clouds and whispered, "Another day of missing Master."

The clouds on the peak rippled for an instant, then dissipated in a flash, as if nothing had happened.

His master lived on the peak and had placed a restriction, forbidding Qi Yuan from going up.

Qi Yuan did not see the clouds gathering and dispersing on the peak; he walked down Seven Colors Peak.

Today was the Shinguang Sect's disciple recruitment ceremony.

He was about to represent Seven Colors Peak, one of the Five Peaks of the Shinguang Sect, to recruit disciples.

The massive Seven Colors Peak had only him as an incompetent disciple, and the sect had quite a few opinions about it.

Of course, because the master of Seven Colors Peak was powerful, those opinions could only be kept to themselves.

However, the current Qi Yuan was also causing the master of Seven Colors Peak to have opinions, which was why there were plans to recruit more disciples.

Qi Yuan walked slowly down Seven Colors Peak.

When he reached the middle of the mountain, Qi Yuan stopped in his tracks.

There was a Big Tree here, several zhang tall. Looking down from above, it was a somewhat unusual little grass, but three days ago, Withered Wood True Lord and the Great Shang Empress had had a tryst upon it.

Qi Yuan stood under the Big Tree. He glanced at the lush green grass on the ground, and a string of text appeared in his mind.

He was stunned for a moment.

If he remembered correctly, when he came here a few days ago, what his eyes saw was...

This is a common blade of grass, but four days ago, a stray dog took a leak on it.

"This grass is quite interesting."

After stepping into Qi Refining, Qi Yuan discovered that there was something wrong with his eyes; he could see things that others could not.

For example, the first time he looked at the Cultivation Method his master gave him.

"Seven Colors Flame Refining Art"

What he saw was...

This is a Jade Rank cultivation technique, containing 1,371 obvious flaws and several other minor ones.

Cultivating to the supreme realm will result in becoming the Resources for some unspeakable entity.

At that time, seeing this information, Qi Yuan was dumbfounded.

He went to look at other cultivation techniques.

They were all more or less the same.

Supreme realm?

Resources?

Very far away?

That is not something for a lowly Qi Refining cultivator like him to consider.

Of course, his cultivation level is also stuck at the Qi Refining stage.

Because, based on what his eyes have seen, once he breaks through to the next realm, he will be confirmed as nothing more than Resources.

Therefore, the current Senior Brother Qi Yuan has been searching for a suitable cultivation technique and working hard toward that goal.

In the Sect Main Hall, divine light scatters in all directions.

White-haired Kang Fulu sits suspended in mid-air, holding a horsetail whisk.

Behind him, the head disciples of the other peaks stand tall and straight.

Kang Fulu looks down at the hundreds of new disciples who have just passed the assessment, a satisfied expression on his face.

However, thinking of something, he asks slowly, "Has the person from Seven Colors Peak not arrived yet?"

"Senior Brother Kang, you know the personality of that head disciple from Seven Colors Peak..." a man dressed in gold robes says in a low voice.

Hearing this, Kang Fulu says nothing more.

Just then, a voice rings out: "Head disciple of Seven Colors Peak, Qi Yuan, has arrived."

Following this voice, Qi Yuan appears before everyone in a white robe, his figure tall and straight, a jade pendant at his waist, walking toward them against the light.

Many disciples of the Shinguang Sect, as well as the newly admitted disciples, look at Qi Yuan with varying expressions.

"I didn't expect Senior Brother Qi Yuan to actually come down the mountain!"

"He's even three parts more handsome than the rumors say."

"What a pity, such a dashing and elegant person, yet..."

"Yet what?"

"His behavior is strange, he has mental issues!"

"Ah?"

"Actually, that's not quite it; it's just that his cultivation is different from ordinary people. He belongs to the 'Obsessed' lineage. All cultivators of this branch have somewhat unique personalities!"

"A lunatic of the cultivation world? Better not provoke him, better not."

"Don't look at him as if he's crazy; he is a true genius with deep insights into cultivation. Many senior brothers and sisters go to him to ask for advice on their practice."

The cultivators below whisper among themselves, many looking at Qi Yuan with strange gazes.

In the Azure Wave World, there are three types of people one should not provoke.

First, do not provoke physicians; second, do not provoke Sword Cultivators; third, do not provoke Obsessed Cultivators.

Physicians master medical arts and can treat injuries to save lives.

Every cultivator might get injured in a magical duel at any time and need a physician to heal their wounds and recover quickly, so one does not provoke physicians.

Moreover, physicians are generally skilled at refining strange poisons and toxic pills, killing without a trace, so it is best not to offend them if possible.

Sword Cultivators have astonishing combat power and are decisive in killing, so one avoids provoking them whenever possible.

As for Obsessed Cultivators, they are quite unconventional.

Cultivators of this lineage focus on being obsessed with a single thing.

It could be a sword, a flower, or even a person.

Extreme obsession often implies that there are some issues with their mental state.

Such cultivators are not to be trifled with; who knows when a lunatic might suddenly go mad?

And Qi Yuan is a cultivator of the Obsessed lineage.

"Junior Brother Qi Yuan, you are a bit late," Kang Fulu says softly.

"I went to sleep too late yesterday," Qi Yuan says with a yawn.

Seeing this, the head disciples of the other peaks remain silent.

Kang Fulu says, "Since everyone is here, let us begin recruiting the disciples."

Currently, the plaza is filled with disciples who have just passed the entrance examination.

The head disciples of the various peaks are responsible for selecting candidates to be assigned to their respective peaks.

Kang Fulu steps forward, looks at the hundreds of new disciples below, and speaks slowly.

"The Shinguang Sect is one of the Three Great Cultivation Sects of the Great Shang Kingdom."

"Congratulations to you all for passing the layers of trials; from now on, you are disciples of the Shinguang Sect."

Hearing this, the hundreds of boys and girls on the plaza are all quite excited.

After all, the Shinguang Sect is one of the three most powerful cultivation sects in the Great Shang Kingdom.

Once you join the sect, you are a cut above the rest.

Kang Fulu was very satisfied with the performance of the crowd, and he continued.

"The Shinguang Sect consists of Five Peaks, and you may choose one to join."

"This is the head disciple of Divine Medicine Peak, Zhuge Miao."

"This is the head disciple of Ten Thousand Laws Peak, Xu Yiyi."

"This is the head disciple of Seven Colors Peak, Qi Yuan."

"This is the head disciple of Battle Peak, Madman."

"I am Kang Fulu, the closing disciple of the Five Lights Peak master, the son-in-law of the Shinguang Sect leader, the master of the Five Lights Sacred Art, the founder of the Lesser Sunbeam Technique, and the chief disciple of Five Lights Peak."

As the white-haired Kang Fulu spoke, five-colored divine light appeared above his head, making him look incredibly spirited and conspicuous.

That's right, Kang Fulu, known as the biggest show-off of Five Lights Peak.
