No one knew what had happened, but Danyang Zi, the sect leader, was still soone all the disciples recognized.
Yu Zhibai looked at Lu Chen standing before the group of elders with an inexplicable expression on his face.
The woman in black, Li Yanran, had her beautiful brows tightly furrowed.
Only Li Chengming had an unwilling look on his face.
The spot that was originally guaranteed to be his had just slipped away like this?
He subconsciously glanced at Li Haorong, only to see Li Haorong burst out in laughter as he descended toward Lu Chen.
"Lu Chen, there’s still so ti until the Haotian Secret Realm opens, why don’t you co and sit at my peak?"
The grand elder is actually extending such a cordial invitation?
Li Chengming opened his mouth but ended up saying nothing at all.
"I appreciate the grand elder’s kind offer, but I plan to continue my cultivation with my master!"
Lu Chen declined without any hesitation, eliciting envy and jealousy from the other disciples.
Grand Elder Li Haorong’s mountain peak is the closest to the main artery of the earth fire vein.
If one cultivates the Fire Control Spirit Technique there, even if there’s no drastic improvent, it would still be sowhat faster than at other peaks.
Yet Lu Chen, a disciple who had just joined the sect, had just refused!
This was an incredible opportunity!
Even Yu Zhibai and Li Yanran, such exceptional prodigies, did not have the privilege to freely enter that peak!
Of course, this also had to do with the cultivation techniques they practiced.
Only those with a Fire Spiritual Root can cultivate the Fire Control Spirit Technique and then learn the Art of Refinent.
These two, although disciples of the Ji Pavilion, were not ant for Artifact Refining.
Seeing Lu Chen reject himself, Li Haorong was not annoyed; instead, he nodded slightly and smiled, "Lu Chen, feel free to co anyti you wish. Since the ninth senior brother has taken you as his disciple, you must have your own unique talents. But among us, the eight brothers, each has his own strengths, so if you have any questions, just co and ask !"
"Then I thank the grand elder,"
Lu Chen replied, neither servile nor overbearing, with a slight bow.
Li Haorong then looked at Zhu Chongjiu and said, "Congratulations to the ninth junior brother. Zhaixing Peak is now yours."
Zhu Chongjiu seed still dazed.
His ninth peak, all these years, had not retained even a single spirit wood; to put it bluntly, apart from the cave connected to the earth fire vein, it was inferior to even an ordinary mountain.
One could say that this surprise ca too suddenly.
Although Zhaixing Peak ranked seventh, Xu Taiping, with dual Fire and Wood Spiritual Roots, liked to integrate formations with artifact crafting, which is why the spirit woods were flourishing and far surpassed the other peaks!
With more spirit woods, the spiritual energy naturally beca relatively more abundant.
For Lu Chen, it was also an excellent spot for cultivation!
With the upcoming journey to the Haotian Secret Realm, Lu Chen could temporarily cease Artifact Refining studies and focus solely on his own cultivation technique!
Or he could choose to practice the Fire Control Spirit Technique, as the cave in Zhaixing Peak connected to the fire vein was closer to the source, and the fire energy there would be even purer!
But there was still one problem.
Now back to his senses, Zhu Chongjiu asked Li Haorong, "Big brother, what about the disciples originally from the seventh peak?"
Xu Taiping was punished, but Danyang Zi didn’t take his anger out on these ordinary disciples.
They naturally couldn’t expel these disciples from the sect; they needed sowhere to stay.
"They can temporarily move to the ninth peak," Li Haorong thought for a mont and said, "Once master finishes dealing with the seventh... Xu Taiping, I’ll ask him again."
"That’s good," Zhu Chongjiu’s nature was still the sa, and hearing this, he felt quite relieved.
Guan Ronglei ordered the ordinary disciples to leave and then approached Lu Chen.
"Lu Chen, you are now considered a disciple of the seventh peak. Your identity dallion needs to be remade, but you must return the original one to ."
His deanor had beco much more polite.
This was, after all, the prodigy ntioned by Danyang Zi, who had been placed before Yu Zhibai and Li Yanran. If they bullied Lu Chen, it would be equivalent to slapping Danyang Zi’s face!
Lu Chen maintained his usual composure and handed over the dallion.
Guan Ronglei took it and then left first.
The rest of the elders also said their greetings, offered so polite words, acknowledging their acquaintance with Lu Chen, and then departed as well.
Yu Zhibai and Li Yanran knew it was not the right ti to linger and also took their leave.
The turn of events had caught them by surprise. For the journey to the Haotian Secret Realm, they might have to change their plans and seek cooperation.
Soon, only Lu Chen, Zhu Chongjiu, and Li Haorong were left here.
Lu Chen also knew that Li Haorong must have questions to ask him, possibly related to the journey to the Haotian Secret Realm, so he braced himself for the conversation!
