Jiang Lingsu

The many newcomers below the stage looked at Kang Fulu differently.

Some admired him, some envied him, and some found it amusing.

Kang Fulu continued, "The information on the Shinguang Sect's Five Peaks has already been distributed to all of you.

"Now, those who received Rank B or Rank C in the assessment may begin choosing which peak to join."

Assessment results were divided into three ranks: A, B, and C.

Rank A was the best, Rank B came next, and Rank C was the worst.

Thus, those with Rank B and Rank C chose their peaks first.

Those ranked B became formal disciples, while those ranked C became menial disciples.

Only those ranked A were qualified to become true disciples!

As for those who received Rank A, every one of them could be considered a genius and required focused cultivation.

The primary reason these senior disciples from the various peaks had come was to speak with the few new disciples who had received Rank A and invite them into their peaks.

"Senior Brother Kang is so impressive. Joining Five Lights Peak definitely won't be a loss!"

"I'd rather join Ten Thousand Laws Peak. On the path of cultivation, Dao arts are what matter most!"

"My dream is to become an alchemist. Only alchemists can save Great Shang. I'm joining Divine Medicine Peak!"

"Battle Peak suits this one!"

"What a pity Seven Colors Peak doesn't recruit ordinary or menial disciples. Otherwise, I definitely would've chosen Seven Colors Peak. I heard there's only one senior brother up there.

"If I joined, I'd be the second disciple. The resources would surely be abundant."

Before long, all those who had received Rank B and Rank C had chosen the peaks they wished to join.

Among them, Five Lights Peak received the most recruits. Excluding Seven Colors Peak, Divine Medicine Peak received the fewest. After all, not everyone could become an alchemist. If they wasted decades and achieved nothing, they would be expelled. Better to cultivate honestly instead.

Once everyone had chosen their respective peaks, only the final seven who had received Rank A evaluations remained: four men and three women.

"Junior brothers, how shall we choose among these seven?" Kang Fulu spoke, his gaze fixed on a black-clad youth. That was the person he favored most.

The others seemed to think of something and said nothing.

At that moment, Zhuge Miao, the senior disciple of Divine Medicine Peak, suddenly said, "Before I came, Master instructed that Seven Colors Peak would choose first this time."

Hearing this, Kang Fulu sighed somewhat.

Originally, he had wanted to conceal this information, since it was not public knowledge.

He was afraid Qi Yuan would choose the person he favored.

After all, Seven Colors Peak had only one disciple, making it far too appealing to others.

At other peaks, one had to compete against a whole crowd of disciples. At Seven Colors Peak, there would be only one competitor.

And that sole competitor looked rather unreliable.

The seven new disciples present all looked at Qi Yuan with varying degrees of fervor.

Their faces seemed to bear the words: Choose me.

"Junior Brother Qi Yuan, please make your selection," Kang Fulu said.

He did not tell Qi Yuan anything about the seven. Otherwise, if the most talented ones were chosen away, Five Lights Peak would suffer a huge loss.

Qi Yuan looked at the seven before him, his expression calm.

Since Master had sent him to choose a disciple and add a little life to Seven Colors Peak,

he naturally had to choose someone suitable.

He looked over the seven, and information surfaced in his eyes.

The first person he looked at was the black-clad man, the genius Kang Fulu cared about most.

Seeing this, Kang Fulu's heart tightened.

That black-clad youth possessed a rare Light Spiritual Root.

This kind of spiritual root was best suited to Five Lights Peak. Cultivating the Five Lights Sacred Art, he might perhaps achieve great success.

Qi Yuan looked at the black-clad youth, and a piece of information entered his mind.

This was an ordinary youth, but he seemed to have an unspeakable purpose for joining the Shinguang Sect.

Unspeakable?

Qi Yuan immediately crossed him off.

As for telling the others in the Shinguang Sect about this information?

No chance!

After all, three months ago, he had exposed the Shinguang Sect's sect master as a spy of the Demonic Desire Sect, only to be confined for a few days.

Of course, that had much to do with his having a formidable master.

In Qi Yuan's eyes, the Shinguang Sect was riddled with problems.

This world was riddled with problems too.

Since everything was a problem, then the problem was not that big.

Go with the flow.

Qi Yuan then looked at a young girl in a goose-yellow long dress who appeared innocent and naive.

The girl looked at Qi Yuan and blinked, her eyes seeming to carry a hint of seduction.

This was an ordinary girl, but her constitution was special. Black Chicken Old Demon had set his sights on her, treating her as a cauldron. She might bring trouble to the Shinguang Sect.

Eliminate.

Qi Yuan looked at the remaining people.

This was an ordinary youth. He had cultivated for two and a half years, yet now possessed no cultivation at all. Deep within his consciousness slept a Remnant Soul, and before coming to the Shinguang Sect, he had annulled his engagement with his fiancée.

Someone with a protagonist template?

Stay far away!

In the films and television dramas Qi Yuan had watched before transmigrating, one had to stay away from protagonists.

The moment an ordinary supporting character treated a protagonist well, that supporting character would immediately be in line to get stabbed.

People like this could not be friends.

He looked at the rest.

A three-legged man?

Eliminate!

A male body with a female heart?

The Azure Wave World had not updated to a new version. Eliminate!

A lunatic?

Far too dangerous. Eliminate!

Qi Yuan eliminated the remaining three.

He looked at the final girl.

This was an ordinary girl. She was somewhat mysterious and seemed to have some designs on the master of Seven Colors Peak.

Qi Yuan's gaze turned somewhat strange.

A rival?

Had to cross her off!

Jiang Lingsu looked at Qi Yuan with her head lowered, her gaze cautious and timid.

When she saw that Qi Yuan seemed inclined to refuse, her eyes became resolute. She gave him a deep salute. "Senior Brother Qi Yuan, please give me a chance to enter Seven Colors Peak!"

Jiang Lingsu was not from the Great Shang Kingdom, but had come from the distant east.

She was of noble birth and held an exalted status.

In the past, she would not have paid much attention to a sect like the Shinguang Sect.

But one month ago, her bloodline awakened, granting her an opportunity to wield her clan's Supreme Treasure, the Universe Mirror.

Within the Universe Mirror, she caught a fleeting glimpse of a scene like the end of days.

Killing was everywhere, and countless cultivators fell.

Her father died in battle, while her mother's blood splashed across the palace.

The continent broke apart, and the seas overturned.

Only the tiny Shinguang Sect seemed to possess an expert and thus escaped disaster.

The Universe Mirror was a Supreme Treasure. What she had seen was a vision of the future.

Or rather, it was a heavenly warning.

Thus, she came to the Shinguang Sect.

Before arriving at the Shinguang Sect, she had already investigated this sect.

This sect was very ordinary. The only extraordinary thing might have been the peak master on Seven Colors Peak, whose origins were mysterious and whose cultivation was stronger than anticipated.

Unfortunately, she could not tell anyone what future she had seen in the Universe Mirror by any means.

The moment it was revealed, everyone would forget that memory, herself included.

Therefore, she could be said to bear an enormous responsibility now.

She did not want to see her loved ones perish, nor did she wish to witness heaven and earth collapse.

She had to enter Seven Colors Peak!

Qi Yuan looked at the resolute gaze of the girl and yawned.

Jiang Lingsu immediately said, "If I join Seven Colors Peak, I am willing to serve as your slave or maid and help Senior Brother cast aside his worries and solve his troubles."

Before coming to the Shinguang Sect, she had investigated the master and disciple of Seven Colors Peak.

That peak master was mysterious beyond measure, a divine dragon whose head was seen but whose tail was not.

As for that disciple, he had some talent and was also a cultivator of the Obsession Lineage.

Cultivators of the Obsession Lineage all had certain problems with their personalities.

Moreover, because of their "obsession," they neglected everything else and lacked someone at their side to care for them or handle affairs.

Qi Yuan gave Jiang Lingsu an indifferent glance and slowly said, "Fine."

Receiving that answer, Jiang Lingsu let out a breath of relief.

For the sake of all living beings under heaven, what did it matter if she wronged herself a little?
