This Heaven and Earth Divine Evil Formation still needs so ti.
What’s more, the less anxious he is, the more anxious the Immortal Trapping Sword Spirit will probably beco, naturally getting more involved.
...
After staying at the summit of the Fire God Mountain for two months, Zheng Fa descended gracefully amidst the envious gazes of a group of Divinity Transformation Nascent Souls and returned to the Jiushan Realm.
The Comprehensive Records business was booming, and the Nascent Souls of the Jiushan Realm were even busier, not to ntion that the university had just been established, leading to a myriad of tasks.
Especially after the inner gate examination, interviews have to be conducted, and ntors have to be assigned.
There are more tasks at hand.
Master Pang found Zheng Fa, looking frazzled: "When will the interviews start? We’ve been waiting for you!"
There’s no helping it, Zheng Fa is busier.
But the interview tis are unified.
Without Zheng Fa’s return, many things cannot proceed.
"Are there many people?"
"What do you think?" Master Pang took out a list and handed it to Zheng Fa, with a peculiar tone, "You’re the sect leader! At least a third of those who passed the exam chose you!"
There were about a hundred nas on the list.
"Zhou Qianyuan?"
Zheng Fa imdiately noticed a familiar na, looked at Master Pang, and said in surprise: "Isn’t this your...?"
"He asked , and I agreed."
Zheng Fa looked at Master Pang, only to hear him shake his head and say: "He had been learning with you and Nephew Zhang for a long ti, saying he was your disciple wouldn’t be far-fetched, not to ntion..."
"People aim high, and a disciple wants to improve; can I hold him back?"
When he said this, Master Pang’s expression was a bit complex, seemingly carefree, or perhaps self-consoling.
Zhou Qianyuan might an sothing different to Master Pang.
Although Master Pang is sowhat fickle-minded, he has always valued Zhou Qianyuan.
It must be tough for him this ti.
Zheng Fa thought for a mont and said, "Junior Zhou indeed has so talent. The Golden Water Talisman Technique is now quite prominent in the sect."
"But Master, as you know, I’m busy with many affairs and don’t have much ti in the sect, let alone ti to ntor disciples, so I won’t take too many disciples."
Setting up an inner gate and even a true inheritor system is just for talent cultivation; disciples are not very necessary for Zheng Fa.
He has limited ti and energy; based on the situation with the Heaven and Earth Divine Evil Formation, he will probably have to go to the Chongxuan Sect often over the next decade.
Coupled with handling the Hundred Immortals Alliance affairs, there’s not much ti left for his disciples.
So he can only choose the truly gifted ones, who can even act as a hands-off ntor, for cultivation.
Frankly, Zhou Qianyuan doesn’t et that requirent yet.
"Master, please kindly inform Junior Zhou, or these disciples, that this ti for the inner gate assessnt, I might only take one disciple. If they choose as a ntor, they might not get into the inner gate this ti."
"One?" Master Pang paused for a mont, then looked peculiarly at one na on the list:
Zheng Shan.
Clearly, he thought this disciple might already be predetermined.
"Little sister was the first to be eliminated."
Master Pang was stunned, and then Zheng Fa continued: "I know my own character; I’ve never been hard on my little sister. If she wants to learn sothing, I’ll naturally teach her. But if I take her as a disciple, it not only hinders her developnt but also has no real aning."
Master Pang slowly nodded after hearing this.
He looked at the na Zheng Shan, his eyes glowing.
This girl Zheng Shan he also understood; besides being a Single Spirit Root, she was genuinely cultivated by Zheng Fa from a young age; even when separated, Zheng Fa would send letters for education.
She could be said to be Zheng Fa’s first disciple!
Zhou Qianyuan?
Who is Zhou Qianyuan?
...
Three days later, outside a classroom on University Island.
More than forty disciples gathered at the door, silently and quietly observing each other.
Mu Qingyan, with a tense face, also stealthily observed the others.
All these people were here to compete for that one spot under the sect leader.
Since the sect leader announced the possibility of taking only one inner sect disciple this ti, half the disciples backed out knowing the difficulty.
Those daring enough to apply as Zheng Fa’s disciples had extraordinary strength and talent.
If they applied to other ntors, they would likely ensure entry into the inner gate.
But with the sect leader taking only one, the risk was too high; failing ant waiting another five years.
Moreover, the competitors were extrely strong, leading many to choose to interview with other ntors.
In other words, those remaining were the elites:
Out of more than forty interviewees, at least thirty-eight or thirty-nine were at the Golden Core stage!
Mu Qingyan considered her cultivation to have advanced rapidly, now at the mid-Golden Core stage, yet here it was still not the highest cultivation level.
Although she was a reincarnator, she had to admit that so disciples in the sect were not much behind her in cultivation:
This made her question the reliability of her dreams, feeling they were too unreliable!
Feeling nervous, Mu Qingyan didn’t want to continue looking at these powerful competitors and instead glanced at a spot in the distance.
There, a male disciple stood alone, presumably an interviewee as well, but seed too timid to get close to others.
The other disciples didn’t talk to him, just occasionally glanced at him with strange looks.
Mu Qingyan also found him peculiar for a simple reason:
His cultivation was rely at the fifth layer of Qi Cultivation!
Not just among these forty disciples.
But in the entire Jiushan University, he was among the lowest in cultivation.
Standing there now, he seed extraordinarily out of place.
The man seed self-conscious, shrinking into a corner, chin tucked in, back pressed tightly against the wall, appearing as if he wished to burrow into the stone behind him.
Mu Qingyan watched for a while and surprisingly felt a sense of kinship: this disciple’s age and cultivation matched her "mory" better!
She stepped forward and walked over:
"Junior brother?"
"Ah? Ah! Senior sister, are you calling ?"
The male disciple lifted his head and nervously looked at Mu Qingyan.
"Junior brother, are you also here for the interview?"
The male disciple replied in a barely audible voice: "...Yes."
But however quietly he spoke, the other interviewees naturally heard it, instantly falling silent.
Cold sweat imdiately broke out on the male disciple’s head.
Mu Qingyan grew more curious: "Forgive my bluntness, but junior brother, with your cultivation, you managed to pass the inner gate exam?"
The young man’s lips tightened, his head lowered further, remaining silent.
"I an no offense; it’s just... I heard to pass the exam, one must at least be at Foundation Establishnt?" Mu Qingyan voiced her confusion, then smiled, "Junior brother, with your current cultivation and still being here for the interview, you must have sothing exceptional."
The young man slowly raised his head, seeing no malice in Mu Qingyan’s gaze, he still quietly said: "I...I scored full marks on the talismanic Dao exam."
"...Full marks? You also did the additional questions?"
"Yes."
Mu Qingyan looked at the young man and finally understood why he was here:
This inner gate exam not only had regular questions but also additional ones.
Generally, each subject had to be passed to clear the exam.
However, with additional questions, if one was extrely excellent, even if failing other subjects, by answering additional questions correctly, an overflow in scores could still be possible.
This young man, with a cultivation of the fifth layer in Qi Cultivation, naturally did not pass, but the additional questions in the talismanic Dao exam allowed him to pass and co here.
Realizing this, Mu Qingyan couldn’t help but admire him—talismanic Dao exams were already tough, and the additional questions were even more difficult; as ntioned by Fairy Xiao, not every ntor in the sect could solve them.
But at the sa ti, she felt a little sorry for this young man:
If he chose another ntor, he might have had a chance, but choosing the sect leader... with the competition so fierce and his cultivation level, the hope seed bleak.
With this thought, she asked, "Junior brother, what’s your na?"
"Gu Chang."
