The Tri-Mountain Contest was over!
No one had expected the mission to be so tragic that most of the participants from the three immortal mountains had died. In the sea.
However, only Qin Lang knew the truth.
Most of the cultivators from the three immortal mountains who had participated in the Tri-Mountain Contest had been "eaten" by the Spiritual Nexus, including some cultivators from other forces. However, Qin Lang wasn't a charitable person, and he didn't think the Spiritual Nexus had done anything wrong.
On the other hand, Gu Qingxun, Qin Lang, and the others returned to Penglai in advance and didn't return to Mount Fangzhang. This was because Gu Qingxun and the others had gained too much, so much so that they were worried that Mount Fangzhang might turn hostile and seize the Earth Root from Gu Qingxun's hands.
Fortunately, Gu Qingxun and the others had already sent a message to Penglai. Penglai Island had sent three supreme elders to keep watch and escort Gu Qingxun, Qin Lang, and the others back to Penglai Island.
With the escort of the three supreme elders of Penglai Island, the journey was uneventful. After arriving at Penglai Island, Gu Qingxun, Qin Lang, and the others went directly to the main peak of Penglai Island. They were summoned by the Penglai Suzerain and several supreme elders.
Although Qin Lang and Gu Qingxun had been on Penglai Island for a few years, it was their first time meeting the suzerain of Penglai — Daoist Qing Song.
Daoist Qing Song. This title naturally didn't sound very domineering, but it was very fitting for his appearance. This was because this Daoist Qing Song didn't look more than 40 years old, and he was very scholarly. He looked like a learned man. However, on the surface, such a person was also resourceful and had great ambitions.
As for the supreme elders, they all looked like old farts. Of course, they had high cultivation, but under normal circumstances, they didn't care about the matters of the sect. This time, of course, was an exception.
"Yes, Gu Qingxun, you've made a great contribution this time! Penglai won the first place in the Tri-Mountain Contest. There's no doubt about that! "Daoist Qing Song immediately expressed his appreciation for Gu Qingxun and the others.
"Sect Master, it's a pity that our sect has also lost many of our fellow sect members." Gu Qingxun wasn't in a hurry to claim credit. Instead, she talked about the sect's losses and the deaths of her fellow disciples. This made the other cultivators view her in a different light.
However, as the Sect Master, Daoist Qing Song and several Grand Elders didn't care about the loss of cultivators. Daoist Qing Song calmly said, "It's true that their deaths are a loss to the sect. However, compared to your gains, the sect's losses are insignificant. Gu Qingxun, you've returned with great rewards this time. Have you even obtained the Earth's Root? "
"Yes, Qingxun is about to offer it to the sect." Gu Qingxun offered the Earth's Root without hesitation. This was something she had discussed with Qin Lang before. Although the Earth Root could be used to establish a sect, if Gu Qingxun didn't hand it over now, it would be equivalent to betraying the sect. One could imagine what would happen to her then. On the other hand, if she took the initiative to hand over the Earth's Root to the sect, it would be a great merit, and Mount Penglai would reward her with anything.
As expected, after Gu Qingxun handed over the Earth's Root so readily, the Grand Supreme Elders of the sects immediately looked at her in a new light. Even Daoist Qing Song praised her greatly. He nodded and said, "Good! She's indeed a genius disciple of Penglai Island! Aside from the improvement of her cultivation, the key is that she knows when to advance and when to retreat. Elders, what should we reward her with? "
"Gu Qingxun can be a Holy Disciple of Mount Penglai," one of the Grand Elders said.
The so-called Holy Disciple was the 'Holy Son'. Every single Holy Son was a true disciple, one in a hundred, one in a thousand. They were qualified to compete for the position of Sect Leader and had a very high position in the sect!
Daoist Qing Song nodded and said, "Yes, Gu Qingxun has made such a great merit, so she naturally deserves the title of Holy Disciple. The other nine will also be promoted to true disciples! However, a title alone isn't enough. May I know which elder is willing to spend some time to personally teach Gu Qingxun, so that she can be worthy of the title of Holy Disciple? "
"I'm willing to train her," one of the Grand Elders said.
"Thank you, Grandmaster!" Gu Qingxun hurriedly bowed and thanked him.
With the reward of a Holy Disciple and the personal teaching of a Grand Elder, Gu Qingxun's cultivation would naturally improve by leaps and bounds. This was something that no one doubted. Moreover, since Gu Qingxun had made such a great merit, the sect would definitely provide her with immortal pills, so it would be too easy for her to replenish her vitality.
As for the various treasures and cultivation resources that Gu Qingxun, Qin Lang, and the others obtained in the Yuanzhang Mountain relic, a portion of them were handed over to the sect, while the rest were kept for their own use. After all, these people had been selected as true disciples by the sect. As true disciples, although their status in the sect had risen a lot, it would be very dangerous if they didn't have enough strength to match their status. However, with the many treasures and cultivation resources obtained in the Yuanzhang Mountain relic, these newly promoted true disciples would definitely be able to rise rapidly.
Among these disciples, the most dazzling one was, of course, Gu Qingxun. Not only had she obtained the title of Holy Disciple, but she had also come out on top and obtained the Earth's Root. She had received the approval of the Penglai Sect's upper echelons, and she had also been taken in as the last disciple of the Penglai Sect's Grand Elder. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that she had achieved meteoric success.
Compared to Gu Qingxun, Qin Lang seemed more ordinary. Of course, this was also because Qin Lang's concealment techniques were very brilliant. Neither the Penglai Sect's Sect Master, Daoist Qing Song, nor the Grand Elders had noticed that Qin Lang was different. Of course, Qin Lang's age was indeed a bright spot, and he could be considered a typical young and promising cultivator. However, there were so many young genius cultivators in the many immortal sects, and Qin Lang didn't have any special achievements in other areas, so it was indeed difficult for him to attract the attention of the Penglai Sect's upper echelons. However, Gu Qingxun was different. He had made such a great merit this time and obtained the Earth's Root, so he was considered a genius cultivator with great luck. This kind of genius cultivator with great luck would usually be able to achieve great things in the future. Now that Penglai Sect was planning for great things, they needed a cultivator with great luck like Gu Qingxun.
