"You damned flathead, you actually think you can cut in line?"
"Countless people want to visit Immortal Su. Who the hell do you think you are?"
"Get to the back and wait properly. What the hell are you supposed to be, dressed up like some respectable person?"
Yu Xiaogang strode proudly to the foot of Immortal Mountain.
Just as he was about to step onto the mountain,
a group of middle-aged and elderly men dressed in fine robes and jade belts blocked his path, each glaring fiercely at him.
"I hate uncouth people like you the most."
"Everyone knows Immortal Su just returned, and everyone wants to pay him a visit. What kind of Grandmaster are you supposed to be?"
"And you are?"
"I am the former lord of Suotuo City, Suotuo Jie."
An elderly man with snowy hair and beard, yet full of vigor and imposing dignity, declared sternly.
"I am Shen Sanwan, the richest man in Suotuo City."
Another distinguished middle-aged man introduced himself.
"I am Shan Yun, personally appointed by Xue Ye as the General of Heavenly Provisions."
"We all came to visit Immortal Mountain. What about it?"
Hearing them announce their backgrounds, Yu Xiaogang, though worldly himself, was still stunned. So many prominent figures from Suotuo City had actually humbled themselves to visit this little mountain, only to be turned away.
Grandmaster looked back at Flender and Zhao Wuji.
Zhao Wuji scratched the back of his head and pretended not to see.
Flender lowered his head to stare at his toes, pretending he knew nothing.
Tang San was the one who finally explained things to Yu Xiaogang.
"Teacher, Immortal Su is an unparalleled genius. His beauty is breathtaking, and his temperament is like that of an immortal banished to the mortal world. Everyone who has seen him praises him endlessly, and countless young women in Suotuo City have fallen for him."
"Even the daughters of prominent clans are no exception. They have gone mad for him, begging their elders to come and show goodwill, even to arrange engagements."
"Furthermore, over the past two months, Immortal Su accepted a student with the Seven Treasure Glazed Pagoda Martial Soul, yet trained her until she was no weaker than any assault-type Soul Master, displaying unprecedented teaching talent."
"That is why these influential people in Suotuo City hold Immortal Su in such high esteem. Visitors come without end, but Immortal Su rarely receives anyone."
"Teacher, we should return to the academy. Don't stay here and humiliate yourself."
Tang San tried to persuade Yu Xiaogang.
Instead of backing down, Yu Xiaogang grew even more indignant.
"An auxiliary-type Soul Master becoming an assault-type Soul Master? Xiao San, do you know what you're saying? That is impossible!"
"I taught you for six years, yet you still believe such absurd nonsense?"
"You speak of his peerless beauty and outstanding temperament. Have you seen him with your own eyes? It is merely hearsay, not worth mentioning."
Tang San was momentarily speechless. "I have indeed seen Immortal Su once. It is not hearsay. Of everyone I have ever seen, not one can compare to Immortal Su in appearance or temperament. That is a fact, Teacher."
"No matter how good one's appearance is, it is merely superficial. The path of a Soul Master lies in Martial Soul cultivation. How can someone achieve anything by focusing on outward appearances?"
Yu Xiaogang stepped forward and shouted toward Immortal Mountain.
"I am Yu Xiaogang. Unlike ordinary visitors who have come to disturb you, I heard that the teacher of Immortal Mountain has a unique teaching style and that this matter concerns my sole disciple's cultivation agreement. I have come specifically to exchange insights and spar in teaching methods. Please come out and meet me, Immortal Su!"
Yu Xiaogang considered himself extraordinary, standing out distinctly amid the crowd and drawing many strange looks.
Tang San knew his teacher's temperament. Seeing that Yu Xiaogang would not rest until he got his way, he could only watch helplessly from the side.
Xiao Wu widened her eyes as she listened to their conversation, then curiously asked Tang San.
"Third Brother, is that Immortal Su really that handsome? Even you praise him so highly."
Tang San nodded and spoke only eight words.
"Peerless elegance, unmatched beneath the heavens."
As soon as he said that, Xiao Wu's rabbit-like eyes glittered as she thought,
Even Third Brother says so, and so many people are obsessed with him. This Immortal Su must really be quite handsome.
I wonder when I'll get to see him?
Yu Xiaogang had thought that after saying all that, Immortal Mountain would at least show him some respect.
To his surprise, after waiting for a long time, only a woman dressed in black fitted clothing came down the mountain and calmly said to the crowd,
"Those here to test Trait Entries, please proceed in an orderly manner. Also, under Immortal Mountain's new rules, to prevent overcrowding and noise, each Soul Master may only test their Trait Entries once per month from now on. Those who have already tested their Trait Entries should return and cultivate diligently. Only through proper cultivation and serious study might your Trait Entries undergo a second evolution. That is the only way you may have hope of becoming a disciple."
"Additionally, Immortal Mountain does not accept visits from any parties. If you have urgent matters, write a letter and place it in the lion's mouth at the foot of the mountain. I will submit it to Teacher Immortal Su. If he approves, he will naturally receive you."
"And who are you?"
"I am Zhu Zhuqing, the second disciple of Immortal Mountain. This is Immortal Su's Flute Bone Token, which can prove my identity."
Zhu Zhuqing removed the Flute Bone from her waist and held it aloft on her fingertips. Facing everyone's doubts, her expression remained indifferent.
A faint white immortal mist drifted from the Flute Bone. It looked extraordinarily remarkable and was Immortal Su Chen's unique token.
This caused Su Chen's fangirls beneath Immortal Mountain to look at one another in confusion.
Where did Immortal Brother get a second student?
It was one thing not to become the first, but now even the second disciple slot has been taken?
However, once the Flute Bone Token appeared, the people gathered beneath Immortal Mountain could only slowly disperse.
Ning Rongrong had actually said the same thing before.
But when Zhu Zhuqing said it this time, everyone had no choice but to accept it.
After all, many of them had tested their Trait Entries countless times. Not only had their Trait Entries failed to become as exceptional as Ning Rongrong's, their quality had instead grown lower with every test.
"Student, please help me announce my arrival."
Seeing that Immortal Mountain had sent out a representative, Grandmaster flicked his sleeve and spoke to Zhu Zhuqing.
Zhu Zhuqing gave him an indifferent glance.
"I was just about to relay Teacher's words to you."
"My teacher said that he has nothing to say to you. Your teaching methods are different. Your theories were summarized from ordinary Soul Masters and learned from Spirit Hall, while my teacher's teachings are pioneering and break conventional rules. There is no need for an exchange, much less a spar."
"My teacher also said that it is not impossible for you to see him. If you can test three Supreme-Grade Trait Entries as well, he may consider meeting you."
"As for whether your disciple Tang San will come to Immortal Mountain to work according to the contract, that is for him to decide."
"Teacher also said, Tang San, if you are unwilling to honor the agreement, that is fine. But in the future, Teacher will take something extremely precious from you. Decide for yourself."
As Zhu Zhuqing spoke, Yu Xiaogang's face had already turned red with rage.
Yu Xiaogang said indignantly,
"Then I'll test them! Could I possibly be inferior to those students?"
"How do I test them? I'll do it!"
