Chapter 760 World 38
After this message was sent out, Chen Ling finally made a move.
The most direct manifestation was that Po Nian Peak collapsed with a loud bang.
But it doesn't matter, it won't reach the residences of the handymen disciples.
The peak masters in the arena couldn't help but smile.
"This Dust Spirit," Sect Master Qian was both amused and annoyed, and in the end he could only shake his head helplessly.
He had barely uttered a sentence when Chen Ling, with a cold face and an aura of ice and snow surrounding him, walked in from outside the door.
"Greetings, fellow disciples."
The other peak masters replied to him and then waited for Sect Master Qian to speak.
Sect Master Qian stepped down from the main seat, pointed at Shen Ruyin's water mirror, and said to Chen Ling, "This is our sect's only top-grade ice spirit root this year, and also the disciple who passed the entrance test the fastest. Do you think she is compatible with the lineage of your Breaking Thought Peak?"
Since we're already here, Chen Ling won't just sit idly by.
He stared intently at Shen Ruyin in the water mirror for a moment and said, "She sounds pretty good, but we'll need to put her through further testing before accepting her into Breaking Thought Peak."
Seeing him staring at him, Master Qian said irritably, "You're the one who wants to take on a disciple, so you should test him yourself. Just one thing: this child has great talent, so don't hurt him."
“No,” Chen Ling said, then took out a jade slip from her sleeve and threw it toward Shen Ruyin’s water mirror.
The jade slip not only failed to damage the water mirror, but instead seemed to melt and seep into it.
Sect Leader Qian then asked Chen Ling to look at the others: "Among the others, is there anyone you find acceptable?"
Chen Ling looked around, then paused briefly on Shen Ruwan's water mirror.
Master Qian asked, "Do you think this is good?"
The disciple standing nearby quickly said, "This is Shen Ruyin's older sister, Shen Ruwan, who has a mutated fire spirit root."
The peak master of Danfeng could no longer sit still: "No, no, this won't do."
"I won't even compete with you for the top-grade ice spirit root. This mutated fire spirit root should belong to the people of my Pill Peak."
The peak master of Sword Peak said, "What do you mean it should be someone from your Pill Peak? What if she wants to come to our Sword Peak?"
“Yes, yes,” Peak Master of Weapon Peak immediately chimed in, “Her mutated fire spirit root is also very suitable for cultivating weapon crafting.”
The peak master of Beast Taming Peak remained silent, his eyes fixed intently on Shen Ruyin's water mirror.
The peak master of the nearby peak nudged her: "Don't you want to compete?"
“I will not contend,” said the peak master of Beast Taming Peak. “Compared to her, I would much rather have this top-grade ice spirit root.”
The peak master of Zhenfeng asked with some curiosity, "It's rare to see you want a disciple."
The Beast Taming Peak Master said, "On the Heavenly Ladder, she showed no fear whatsoever when the beasts attacked her. And on the Concentration Path, don't you think she progressed too smoothly?"
The Peak Master of the Formation Peak caught a glimpse of some people on the Concentration Path looking quite frightened by the various spirit beasts, and suddenly realized something: "She has a high affinity for spirit beasts?"
The Beast Taming Peak Master nodded: "This was born to be a member of my Beast Taming Peak, to be accompanied by adorable spirit beasts."
Zhenfeng opened his mouth, but didn't say anything.
When you say "cute," do you mean the kind that has all sorts of strange appearances, doesn't necessarily have a pleasant voice, but causes chaos all day long and can slap a low-level cultivator to death?
Shen Ruyin didn't know what was happening inside the sect's main hall. She only knew that she had just come out of the Cleansing Pool and had seen the disciples coming to guide her when the surrounding scenery suddenly changed.
Many jade slips.
The room was completely filled with bookshelves that stretched from floor to ceiling, and each shelf was crammed with jade slips.
There was a desk in the middle of the room with a piece of paper on it.
The paper stated that Shen Ruyin was to learn how to use the jade slips on the table within a month.
The learning method is also written above: Shen Ruyin simply needs to touch the jade slip to her forehead; she can learn without using magic.
This is... great!
She excels at learning.
But is it really true that you only need to learn these things, and you can't take anything else?
Shen Ruyin looked at the other jade slips, her heart filled with anticipation, but in the end she decided to start learning from the ones on her desk.
As for the so-called one-month deadline, Shen Ruyin didn't take it to heart at all.
Once she's learned something, it's hers. Anyway, she passed the entrance exam, so the Supreme Sect wouldn't be so foolish as to just let go of such a good prospect, would they?
Shen Ruyin picked and chose, first randomly picking one to learn, and found it was a jade slip recording basic formations.
Shen Ruyin knew a lot about formations, but there were also some things in this jade slip that she had never seen before.
Below that was a basic talisman cultivation manual. Shen Ruyin glanced at it and began to make a guess about the jade slip in front of her.
These should all be basic courses for each peak, but I don't know why she was made to learn them all.
Shen Ruyin was focused on her studies and made good progress.
Her actions made Master Qian nod in satisfaction one moment and frown slightly the next.
On the contrary, Chen Ling, who was beside him, was learning well. Seeing that Shen Ruyin had already learned the last jade slip, she said to Sect Master Qian, "I'll take this disciple. I'll have her become his disciple later."
Before Sect Leader Qian could say anything, the Beast Taming Peak Master spoke up, "Junior Brother Chenling, won't you reconsider? She hasn't passed this hurdle yet."
“No need,” Chen Ling said, noticing what Shen Ruyin had written on the paper. “She should already understand.”
"You already understand?" Upon hearing this, the Peak Master of the Formation Peak was also eager to try. "How did Junior Brother Chenling know?"
Chen Ling offered no explanation, and even made Shen Ruyin's handwriting in the water mirror even more blurred, making it difficult to read: "I just know."
The peak master's heart sank immediately. He gave an "oh" and stopped paying attention to Shen Ruyin.
Sect Leader Qian's eyes darted around, as if he had guessed something, but he didn't say it out loud. Otherwise, if several families started fighting over it, it would be difficult for him, as the sect leader, to handle the situation.
Only the Beast Taming Peak Master still wanted to try, and asked Chen Ling, "I like this child very much. After Junior Brother Chen Ling takes her in, can you let her come to Beast Taming Peak more often?"
Chen Ling did not refuse, but instead put herself in the position of Shen Ruyin's master: "I would like to thank my senior sister for her guidance on behalf of my disciple."
The peak master of Beast Taming Peak sighed, still feeling envious as he looked at Shen Ruyin's water mirror, but could only shift his gaze elsewhere.
The greatest regret in the world is that a talent who was born to be perfect for this peak was snatched away by someone else.
After Shen Ruyin finished learning from the last jade slip, she thought there would be some kind of test, but she didn't expect to pass it directly.
At this moment, there were other people in the square, but not many.
She asked a couple of questions and learned that less than an hour had passed outside while she had finished learning those jade slips in that space.
Shen Ruyin looked around and saw Li Miaoyi, but not Shen Ruwan.
Li Miaoyi walked up to Shen Ruyin and congratulated her: "I heard that Fellow Daoist Shen was the first to pass the test. Congratulations."
Shen Ruyin was unaware of Li Miaoyi's situation, so she could only thank her and then ask, "Has Fellow Daoist Li ever seen my sister?"
“I haven’t seen her yet,” Li Miaoyi said, “but Fellow Daoist Shen need not worry. You sisters are both exceptionally talented and beautiful. I imagine your sister will be here soon.”
"Fellow Daoist Shen, you should think carefully about which peak you want to join."
Shen Ruyin thought for a moment: "Has Fellow Daoist Li decided on his intentions?"
“Naturally, it’s Po Nian Peak,” Li Miaoyi said firmly. “I came here to seek immortality, so naturally I must go to the place in the Supreme Sect that is closest to the immortal realm.”
