Chapter 41: The Selection of Successive Disciples Begins
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The Peak Master’s voice broke He Qingge’s train of thought.
“Alright, we’ve arrived. Everyone, enter the Black Mountain and survive for three months. At the same time, bring out three things that you’re most satisfied with.
“When the time comes, as long as you can come back alive and bring something that satisfies me, you can become my disciple.
“I’ll take note of your performance.”
The words of the Peak Master of Imperial Beast Peak were like a whisper in one’s ear. His voice was soft, but every word could be heard clearly. It was very straightforward. As soon as he finished speaking, everyone was thrown down.
He Qingge steadied himself and found that there was no one else around him. Everyone was assigned to different places. The Black Mountain was very tall and huge, and there were different peaks.
The first question was which peak to choose.
The mountain peak with the highest possibility of passing the test was the third mountain peak of the Black Mountain.
Su Zimei had previously told him the secret phrase of everything being three times.
The condition that the Peak Master had proposed was to live here for three months and get three items. It seemed that he had a special liking for the number three.
As the saying went, luck and opportunity were the key factors. In fact, a large part of these things depended on luck.
It was very difficult to judge whether a person had great luck or not. Things like luck and fate were very difficult to observe, unless it was a top-notch great cultivator.
Moreover, Imperial Beast Peak was able to see through the luck and fate of others at a glance. There was no need for the assessment at all.
If He Qingge followed his heart and went up the third mountain peak, he would have a higher chance of obtaining three things than the others.
In addition, the diary of the burly man who had robbed him recorded that there was an immortal encounter in the third mountain peak.
The problem was that there was a giant python on the top of the third mountain peak.
It was recorded by the brawny man.
The giant python had terrified the brawny man, and he had never gone up again after coming down from Black Mountain.
One reason was that he could not participate in the follow-up assessment.
However, he could have gotten other people to participate in the assessment. After that person passed, the brawny man could kill that person and snatch the rewards of the assessment.
Would that not be faster and more beneficial for him?
The reason why he did not do so might be that the python was too strong, or that the immortal encounter was fake, or that the immortal encounter was limited.
It was very likely that the python was too strong.
The brawny man’s strength had already reached the late stage of the Qi
Refinement Realm. He still had pills, talismans, and magic tools in his hands.
A demonic beast that could make him so terrified that he did not even dare to go up the mountain again was definitely stronger than the peak of the Qi Refinement Realm.
It must have reached the Foundation Establishment Realm or the half-step Foundation Establishment Realm.
In any case, it would be difficult for He Qingge to deal with the demonic beast. If he was not careful, he might become a snack for the demonic beast python. “Master, do you have a favorable impression of any one of them?”
The fog on the back of the Sleepless Whale dispersed, and Su Zimei looked at her master curiously.
There were a total of three people in the fog. One was the Peak Master of the Imperial Beast Peak, one was Su Zimei, and the last was Zheng Xiaoling.
The Peak Master of the Imperial Beast Peak was very surprised.
Su Zimei had never cared much about such things.
Today, she had even specially followed them here to watch.
Su Zimei replied innocently, “No, Master. I’m just curious as to who’ll become my junior.”
The Peak Master remained calm. “That will depend on their performance. It hasn’t even started yet!”
“What’s the final standard?” Zheng Xiaoling asked.
“Of course, it depends on who gets what I’m satisfied with and whose performance is better.”
With a wave of his hand, a huge projection screen appeared in front of them, projecting everyone’s images on it.
It projected everyone’s actions very clearly.
“That is to say, not only do you have to examine whether the things they bring back satisfy you, but you also have to examine their performance in the process.” Zheng Xiaoling nodded.
She Imew it. No matter what, this was about becoming a Peak Master’s legacy disciples. How could the selection be so sloppy? To be able to catch the attention of a Peak Master was quite an amazing thing.
Therefore, not only did the difficulty of this selection not decrease, but it increased. Mysterious things were difficult to grasp.
She suddenly remembered that He Qingge had only asked her for a day off, but he had to stay here for three months.
In this way, was she not at a disadvantage?
The three of them looked at the projection and instantly focused on He Qingge.
Su Zimei was most familiar with He Qingge.
He Qingge was the first person to show her kindness when she came to the Tian Xuan Sect.
Zheng Xiaoling only knew about the selection because of He Qingge. She came to watch because of this. He Qingge was still her subordinate, and the only person she was familiar with here was He Qingge.
The reason why the Peak Master of the Imperial Beast Peak was observing He Qingge was because he had actually woken up very quickly from the sound of the Sleepless Whale.
He actually surpassed many Foundation Establishment cultivators.
In addition, the Sleepless Whale seemed to have a good impression of He Qingge. She was quite surprised that her Sleepless Whale had a good impression of him in such a short period of time.
Naturally, her gaze was more focused on He Qingge.
He Qingge was carefully walking through the forest.
He unleashed Hearing to the maximum as he probed the surrounding living creatures.
In the end, he found a secluded place to stop. He took out many protective talismans and Body Lifting Talismans from his storage bag and pasted them on his body.
In fact, he had prepared a little before taking the assessment and pasted a few, but not too many.
Now, talismans were basically plastered all over his body.
Su Zimei looked at He Qingge speechlessly. He was being too careful!
Moreover, she was watching him from above. If he really encountered danger, she would definitely ask her master to help.
However, when she thought about He Qingge’s cautiousness and carefulness in the past, she felt that it was nothing.
The Peak Master nodded at He Qingge’s cautious approach.
The ultimate goal of cultivation was to live longer and better.
Zheng Xiaoling was a little speechless by He Qingge’s actions.
She recalled how He Qingge had been calm when he was being complained about and how he still had the photostone in his hand.
In other words, he had seen everything and must have known in advance.
He was simply awesome!
The photographic stone was left behind to plot against Zhang Jiusui.
Although the villain was the first to complain, the devil was one foot higher, and the law was ten feet higher!
She was also a little emotional. What kind of things did He Qingge go through to become so cautious and meticulous?
After everything was prepared, He Qingge kept a Smoke Grenade and a Thunder Grenade in his hands.
The Thunder Grenade and the Sky Shaking Thunder were products of the same series.
As for the Smoke Grenade, it was He Qingge’s own creation.
It was mixed with all kinds of smoke and poison gas, even lime.
The most important sense of a cultivator in the Qi Refinement Realm was actually vision.
Only when one broke through to the Foundation Establishment Realm could one’s divine sense be born.
Only by establishing one’s Dao foundation could one truly step into the Dao path.
Generally, true cultivators called Foundation Establishment the starting point of Dao.
He Qingge carefully ran through the forest and encountered a few fierce beasts. He quietly avoided them and did not kill them.
It was to prevent the smell of blood from attracting other powerful demonic beasts..
