Almost as soon as the Supreme Elder finished speaking, the expressions of the group of young men and women waiting in the center of the hall changed.
They were all quite young, and it was difficult for them to completely control the changes in their facial expressions.
For a moment, no one spoke.
After all, what they originally hoped for was at least a chance to be assigned to another peak; which of the Lower Six Peaks wouldn't be acceptable?
It just so happens to be Ximu Peak.
The elders of Ximu Peak have either left or scattered, and the Peak Master has already gone into seclusion. Only a deputy Peak Master suddenly appeared remains, and there isn't even Great Saint left in the peak. Anyone with a bit of inside information knows about this.
However, this was the Supreme Elder speaking personally, and no one could refute it.
Not to mention the disciples who had absolutely no control over their own destiny.
Unless they no longer wish to join the Cinnabar Cloud Sword Sect.
Even a phoenix that has fallen to the ground is still a phoenix. They came here to join the Cinnabar Cloud Sword Sect. Even the worst peak in the Cinnabar Cloud Sword Sect, Ximu Peak, is better than other places.
Therefore, even though they were feeling distressed and couldn't help but worry, no one voiced their protest.
The other elders of Ximu Peak who had come with He Qinglang, even though they already knew what the likely outcome would be, still sighed helplessly and were filled with disappointment as they witnessed this scene and saw all the 'oddballs' that others didn't want being taken into their Ximu Peak.
This happens every year.
Things are getting worse every year.
The future of the disciples is the future of the entire peak.
The Cinnabar Cloud Sword Sect holds a small competition every three years and a large competition every ten years. The sect's large competition is coming up soon, which is related to the allocation of resources within the sect. There are still a few months until the sect's large competition.
However, things got worse year by year, and the place became increasingly deserted.
It seems there's little hope again this year.
well!
Only Lin Xuan remained silent, his brows furrowing slightly. His gaze subtly swept over the disciples who were about to be assigned to Ximu Peak, his expression indifferent. He paused briefly on one of them, then lightly looked away when the other noticed him looking over.
He was somewhat curious.
interesting...
The system panel was still floating in front of him, allowing him to clearly see the specific aptitude of each disciple.
Of all these people, this one stands out the most.
His initial target was actually this girl.
However, Lin Xuan was well aware of the power struggles within sects, so he didn't reveal his true intentions at all.
Name: Feng Jingyu
Age: 16
Realm: Peak Heavenly Venerable
Destiny: Multicolored Phoenix Flying Wings (Gold Rank 3)
Recent events: Perfect Reincarnation, awakening of the female saint's memories, breakthrough in talent, and entry into the sect while concealing her appearance and cultivation.
A female saint reincarnated.
And it was Perfect Reincarnation!
Lin Xuan had heard of what a Perfect Reincarnation was.
Generally speaking, cultivation is a struggle against fate, and basically no cultivator has the opportunity to be reincarnated.
If the physical body dies, but the soul has even the slightest chance, it can reshape the physical body.
But reincarnation is an extremely difficult thing.
Even if one could be reincarnated, one would lose everything from the past.
But Perfect Reincarnation is different.
The so-called Perfect Reincarnation is a reincarnation that retains memories and talents. When reincarnated as a human, one's talents are sealed and memories are sealed. These will be unlocked at a certain point in time. Furthermore, there will be no causal relationship with anything from the past. Without any karmic entanglements, in the perception of the Heavenly Dao, she is a completely new person. Even if she was rejected by the Heavenly Dao in her previous life, she will not be burdened in any way in this life!
But Perfect Reincarnation is incredibly difficult...
Lin Xuan had only encountered this term once when he was young, in an ancient book at home.
But now, I've actually seen the True Person.
Moreover, this person was a female saint in her previous life.
The level of skill isn't particularly high...
Yet, they fortuitous opportunity for Perfect Reincarnation.
That's interesting.
Given that she was able to inherit her past talents and memories, she shouldn't have needed to join the Cinnabar Cloud Sword Sect.
But she did come, of all people.
It certainly wasn't like the other disciples, doing it for the sake of the Cinnabar Cloud Sword Sect's teachings.
That's really interesting.
Lin Xuan's lips curled up slightly, a hint of curiosity rising in his heart, but he didn't press the matter. He simply nodded to He Qinglang and together they led the disciples back to Ximu Peak.
Regardless of what the other party is thinking, they will inevitably leave some clues.
You'll find out then.
For several days in a row, after the new disciples entered the peak, whether it was Lin Xuan, the deputy Peak Master, He Qinglang, the Peak Master's first disciple, or the elders in the sect, or even Elder Bikong, who had recovered from his injuries and returned to the mountain, none of them were idle, but were giving lectures in an orderly manner.
Swordsmanship, Dao of Alchemy, talismanic arts, formations...
Insights into spiritual practice, the convergence of the Great Dao, and even practical experience.
Even knowing that these disciples were not particularly talented, the elders on Ximu Peak did not slack off.
only...
They were, after all, elders, and their cultivation was all at the Saint Realm; they also had their pride.
Giving lectures is my duty.
They certainly won't slack off.
But accepting apprentices...
This batch of disciples is of average talent, arguably the worst batch in recent years. How could they possibly look down on them?
If the other party is diligent in their studies and practices and has a respectful attitude, it's not unreasonable to lend a helping hand based on their attitude.
However, a considerable number of these disciples were quite lazy and even dared to look down on them?
Two elders were so angry that they declared on the spot that they would rather jump Reflection Cliff and commit suicide than accept any disciples or teach even the slightest bit of anything superfluous.
Ximu Peak's condition is not very good.
However, no matter how bad it is, it's not up to these disciples to nitpick!
After this period of testing, Lin Xuan secretly shook his head.
The elders were furious, not because they were petty.
As the deputy Peak Master, he was the one who preached and taught the most frequently.
Unfortunately, after observing them for a while, it became clear that among these disciples, there were few diligent and eager learners, and many lazy and arrogant ones.
Only a few individuals are willing to delve into the subject; although they may not be gifted, they possess upright character and a positive attitude.
He had already separated these few people from the rest of the group.
He had even decided that if they could still maintain their current rigorous cultivation after some time, he would pass on his teachings and accept them as his Registered Disciple.
As for the others...
Let's just leave it at that.
after all.
This was their own choice.
After finishing his sermon, Lin Xuan didn't even glance at the others before turning and leaving.
His attitude was calm and composed, showing no favoritism towards anyone.
Only after he left did a burst of complaints erupt behind him.
"Is that... all?"
Several disciples pursed their lips, their expressions not very pleasant.
"What kind of deputy Peak Master is this? Does he look down on us? What kind of nonsense does he spout every day? I've listened to the sermons of other deputy Peak Master on the main peak of Purple Cloud Peak, and their teachings are far more profound than his."
"He's the only one who talks about such basic things every day... Please, do you think we're three-year-olds?"
" Ximu Peak has indeed declined. They only offer the same few things over and over again. It's such a waste of time."
"Sigh, there's nothing we can do about it. We were assigned here, so I just hope I can work harder and have a chance to move up in the future."
"That's true... This Deputy Peak Master Lin is really wasting people's time!"
"Hey, Jingyu, why aren't you saying anything?"
