Chapter 69 What a natural-born swordsman!
The elders of the Qingyun Sect on the stage looked at each other in bewilderment as they watched this scene.
I don't understand what's going on. Why did everyone suddenly fall silent when that bald guy pulled out a stack of papers?
There were also many people queuing up to give them spirit stones.
It's really hard to understand.
"Hey! Fellow Daoist, could you tell me what was written on that piece of paper?"
There are always people who can't suppress their curiosity and want to find out the truth.
Those who received the IOUs all destroyed them immediately.
He coughed lightly and said, "Ahem! It's nothing, children shouldn't pry into adult matters!"
"Knowing too much is not good for your growth."
This made those who didn't know the truth feel an unbearable itch, like being scratched by a cat!
Those people just won't tell us, how awful!
The elders on the platform stopped worrying about these trivial matters; all they wanted was for the square to quiet down.
He continued, "Next, please have the person whose name is called come up to the stage."
"Xiao Fei..."
"Li Dahai..."
"Lin Que..."
"..."
As the elders on the stage read out the names of the top one hundred cultivators in the trial,
Lin Que and the others then went up onto the stage.
The hundred cultivators on the stage looked somewhat crowded, but they all had one thing in common.
That means staying far away from Lin Que and the other three, and having no intention of standing with them at all.
This resulted in a large empty space around the four of them, making Lin Que and his companions feel less crowded and more relaxed.
In addition, the three bald heads were already quite conspicuous, which drew everyone's attention to them.
However, those gazes were filled with disdain!
"Why is there a delicate woman following these three bald men?"
"It is! It is!"
"Ha! It's like a beautiful flower stuck in three piles of cow dung."
Everyone complained and so on.
However, Lin Que was not affected by these gossips at all, and stood on the stage looking around curiously.
Needless to say, Liu Dezhu and his companion were completely oblivious, simply standing there in a daze.
As for Qu Lingyi, it was even worse. No one talked about her; they just felt sorry for her. Everyone thought it was all the fault of those three bald men!
Such a lovely woman, she must have been fooled by them!
At this moment, Lin Que on the stage seemed to see a familiar face, and his eyes lit up!
He waved wildly at Feng Wuxue on the stage.
But the latter clearly did not want to acknowledge him. Feng Wuxue was looking down at his nose and pretending not to see him.
Just as Lin Que was wondering why Feng Wuxue was ignoring him, his gaze fell on Fairy Caili again, and his eyes lit up once more!
He waved to her again.
The next moment, Fairy Cai Li gave a light "humph," turned her head away, and ignored him.
This left Lin Que rubbing his bald head, completely baffled.
However, before Lin Que could think further, the elder spoke again.
"First of all, congratulations to everyone for passing the Qingyun Sect's trial."
"I am an elder of the Qingyun Sect, and also the peak master of Taiyue Peak of the Qingyun Sect."
"My name is Qi Tianlin. You may call me Elder Qi or Peak Master Qi."
Elder Qi continued, "Next, the elders of the Qingyun Sect will introduce themselves to you, so that you can gain a deeper understanding of the Qingyun Sect."
As soon as Elder Qi finished speaking, the other elders stood up and took turns speaking.
"My name is Huang Qingyun, Peak Master of Haoran Peak, Qingyun Sect..."
"My name is Zhang Daojiu, Peak Master of Zizhu Peak, Qingyun Sect..."
"My name is Qiao Qifeng, Peak Master of Luoxia Peak, Qingyun Sect..."
"My name is Huan Caili, and I am the peak master of Biyun Peak in the Qingyun Sect. You may also call me Fairy Caili."
"By the way, let me tell you all first, our Biyun Peak only accepts female disciples!"
It turns out that the Qingyun Sect has five peaks, each representing one of the sect's branches.
After the introductions, Elder Qi said, "Next, we will select disciples based on your qualifications and your own strengths."
"Those who haven't chosen yet need not panic, as each peak of the Qingyun Sect has its own unique heritage."
"I believe that among the five peaks, there will be one that can accommodate you all."
As soon as Elder Qi finished speaking, he took out a spherical object.
Just as everyone was wondering, Elder Qi spoke up: "This is a aptitude crystal for testing. All you need to do is place your hand on it and input your spiritual power."
“The crystal can reveal your qualities.”
"Alright, everyone, let's begin!"
Following Elder Qi's announcement, one hundred cultivators lined up to be tested one by one.
As soon as the first person input their spiritual power, the crystal stone lit up with a blue light, transmitting the information to the elders of the Qingyun Sect.
"Hmm? It's actually the mid-stage of the Innate Realm, not bad, not bad, the wind attribute is very high in its spiritual power."
"We want this person from Haoran Peak!" Elder Huang said hastily upon seeing this.
Seeing that the other peaks remained silent.
Elder Qi then gestured for the person being tested to stand in the area where Elder Huang was.
Then the testing continued.
"In the early stage of innate constitution, earth element, barely acceptable."
"Huh?! He's actually at the late stage of the Innate Realm! What a promising talent!"
"I want this man from Taiyue Peak!"
"Get lost! You're more suited to come to our Purple Bamboo Peak!"
"..."
The two peaks started fighting over this spot, and eventually they couldn't resolve the conflict.
All that could be done was to explain the advantages of each mountain and let the person choose for themselves.
In the end, that person chose Purple Bamboo Peak, much to Elder Qi's regret.
As the selection process progressed, 96 out of 100 people had been chosen.
Only Lin Que and three others remain to be tested.
However, the elders of Qingyun Peak all looked disgusted at this moment.
"Ahem...ahem! The four of you, come and take the test."
Helpless, Elder Qi still spoke up. After all, the other person had passed the trial, and they couldn't just leave him hanging.
Lin Que and Liu Dezhu didn't care who went first, and gestured for Qu Lingyi to go first.
Qu Lingyi timidly approached the crystal and stretched out her small hand.
next moment!
A five-colored light shone from within the crystal!
"Um?!"
"what!!!"
"It's actually the early stage of the Innate Realm, with a Primordial Spirit Body!!!"
Upon hearing this, the elders of Qingyun Peak all widened their eyes!
They all disregarded their image and rushed frantically towards Qu Lingyi, startling her!
"Young lady! Please come to my Sunset Peak, I guarantee you will receive the best treatment!"
"Bullshit! As long as you come to Taiyue Peak, you'll be the peak's top disciple next year! Name whatever benefits you want!"
"Get out of here! Your Taiyue Peak is full of men, you'd be better off coming to Wuhaoran Peak!"
"Young lady, don't believe them. It's more suitable for you to come to Wuzizhu Peak!"
"Heh, a bunch of shameless old geezers, trying to snatch a young girl here!"
"Young lady, come to my Biyun Peak! I've said it before, all the disciples on Biyun Peak are female, it's perfect for you!"
At this moment, everyone is scrambling for Qu Lingyi...
Seeing that everyone was still arguing, Elder Qi quickly shouted, "Forget it, let's put this girl's matter aside for now."
"Stop fighting and waste time. Let the people behind you test first."
Upon hearing this, everyone agreed and stopped fighting, since Qu Lingyi wouldn't disappear anyway.
Elder Qi then asked Lin Que to step forward.
Lin Que shrugged and walked forward nonchalantly to test his hand.
Half an hour!
A beam of light shone from inside the crystal ball!
Within the light, sword energy seemed to crisscross...
"Hi~!"
This made Elder Qi gasp in surprise!
He exclaimed in amazement, "What a natural-born swordsman!"
