Chapter 15 – Sect Master Accepting Disciples

All the elders were shocked, including Leng Feiyan, who was also very surprised.

At this moment, the happiest person was none other than Lin Jichen.

"Cultivation +20!"

"Cultivation +20!"

"Cultivation +20!"

...

Thanks to the Sect Master's spiritual energy boost, the spiritual energy surged into his body, causing his cultivation to continuously climb.

After the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, the spiritual energy within Lin Jichen dissipated, and the surrounding spiritual energy returned to normal.

Lin Jichen glanced at his cultivation: [360/500]

Just a bit more and it would have been full.

He felt a bit regretful; if only it had increased a little longer.

The test ended, and everyone looked at Leng Feiyan, waiting for his answer.

Leng Feiyan's usually impassive expression finally softened, revealing a hint of a smile.

At that moment, it was as if the heavens and earth paled in comparison, and all flowers bloomed in splendor.

"Good, very good. I didn't expect my Tianyan Sword Sect to have another prodigy. Perhaps in the future, his achievements might even surpass mine."

Ah!

The crowd was astonished; they hadn't expected the Sect Master to give such high praise. What kind of talent did this kid have to earn such an evaluation from the Sect Master?

"Sect Master, just how exceptional is this disciple's talent for you to praise him so highly? This is the first time I've seen you do so," a female elder couldn't help but ask with a smile.

Leng Feiyan didn't beat around the bush and answered indifferently.

"His innate physique, spiritual grace, and comprehension are all excellent, even better than mine when I was his age. Tell me, isn't his talent remarkable?"

Hiss!

All the elders gasped.

No wonder he could receive such high praise from the Sect Master; with such talent, he indeed deserved such expectations.

After the shock, everyone's thoughts began to stir.

With such a talented disciple, who wouldn't want to take him as their own?

Once Lin Jichen became a prominent figure, it would bring great honor to them as his masters.

Moreover, they could also expect to be looked after by their disciple in return. Such a good opportunity, everyone wanted to seize it.

"This disciple has yet to pledge to a master. How about this, let him become my disciple, and I will teach him well," a slightly plump man in a purple robe was the first to speak up.

But naturally, the others were not pleased. Such a promising seedling couldn't just be claimed by anyone. They were all elders, and none had special privileges.

"He should become my disciple, and I will teach him everything I know!"

"Elder Qingsong, you already have so many disciples, don't compete with us. I can also teach him all the skills of the Tianyan Sword Sect."

"Elder Qiuyue, you are a female cultivator, it's inconvenient for you to teach a male disciple. Better to come to me."

"Don't be polite, he should become my disciple..."

These were the elite disciples of the various sects before the public testing of the players.

Unless your talent was one in a million, you might have a chance to enter the inner hall.

Inside the Tianyan Sect's inner hall.

The scenery of the inner hall was completely different from that of the outer hall. If the outer hall was like a Daoist palace, then the inner hall was like a fairyland.

Twelve towering mountains stood amidst the clouds at the mountain peaks, as if lifting the entire Taiyin Mountain Range into the sky.

Each mountain was unique; some were filled with spiritual herbs and exuded a rich medicinal fragrance, some bred cranes and spiritual monkeys, and others were covered with exotic flowers and plants.

Clouds of auspiciousness intertwined among them, and the golden divine radiance of the sun and moon enveloped the entire inner hall.

The central mountain was the largest and most conspicuous.

A magnificent palace stood atop it, reaching into the sky.

The halls on the other mountains paled in comparison, looking like stars surrounding the moon.

Mists lingered on the mountain, with dazzling golden light. The golden radiance of the other mountains all stemmed from this highest mountain.

On this highest mountain, there were many water caltrop trees. When the warm wind blew, the caltrop flowers danced, the white sea of flowers swaying and drifting into the sea of clouds, a sight of stunning beauty.

At the foot of the mountains was a vast square.

On the square sat thousands of young disciples, both male and female.

They all sat earnestly on meditation cushions, listening to the white-bearded elder lecturing at the front.

Lin Jichen casually glanced over and noticed that these young disciples had at least reached the Crystal Realm in cultivation.

Some had even reached the Golden Core Realm, comparable in strength to some of the outer hall elders.

These were the cream of the crop among the young disciples of the Tianyan Sword Sect, the future backbone of the sect.

The white-bearded elder teaching the class greeted Leng Feiyan with a smile and a bow when he saw her.

All the disciples also hurriedly stood up to pay their respects.

Leng Feiyan nodded and said to the white-bearded elder, "Elder Tianjian, no need for such formalities. I'm just managing the sect on behalf of my father. You can call me Feiyan, just like when I was a child."

Elder Tianjian waved his hand with a smile, "The rules of the sect cannot be taken lightly. The old Sect Master has passed the position to you, and you are now the new Sect Master of the Tianyan Sect, no longer the naive young girl of the past."

Saying this, Elder Tianjian noticed Lin Jichen behind Leng Feiyan and asked in surprise, "Who is this?"

"My newly accepted closed-door disciple," Leng Feiyan stated plainly.

Whoa!

Her words stirred up a thousand waves.

A thousand disciples were shocked, immediately starting to whisper among themselves.

"No way, this kid is the Sect Master's closed-door disciple?"

"This junior brother is quite handsome~"

"What merits and virtues does he have to be accepted by the Sect Master?"

"That's right, even our Senior Brother, a prodigy, entered the Golden Core Realm at a young age, and with such talent, he didn't catch the Sect Master's eye."

"This guy is only at the Qi Refining Realm, what a joke!"

"Exactly, he's not worthy. I could defeat him with just one finger."
