The Shang Qing Sect was extremely capable and full of powerhouses. It was one of the controlling forces in Yuezhou.
For such a powerful force, naturally, there were many paths, or in other words, different paths for the descendants to choose from.
Among them, the path of cultivation was the most important. There were four peaks in the Shang Qing Sect, all of which were places that focused on cultivation. After all, capabilities were the foundation of the Taoism community.
Then, there were the paths of alchemy, crafts, and arrays. Compared to cultivation, professions were much weaker. Therefore, each of these three paths only had one path.
If a cultivator felt like he or she was more talented than cultivation, he or she could choose one path and join one of them.
Therefore, every time a new descendant entered the sect, the leaders of the four paths would come to the Hall of Choosing Path and choose the descendant they liked.
Currently, all the leaders were gathered here, waiting for the arrival of the new descendant. They had already received news that an undefeatable Heaven's Favorite had appeared at this year's recruitment event. Therefore, the four peak leaders who specialized in cultivation were all here.
The leaders of the other three paths were here as well. However, they knew very well that they had no chance against such a talented Heaven's Favorite. The reason why they were here was because they didn't want to break the rules and were merely going through the motions.
After Ling Xian walked into the grand hall, the four peak leaders all shifted their gazes towards him and used their Qi to scan his body.
The three leaders also shifted their gazes towards him. However, there was more admiration in their eyes, not as heated as the four peak leaders.
"I am Xian Ling, it is an honor to meet you elders." Ling Xian faintly smiled and exclaimed internally.
He remembered all seven elders here. Now that he was meeting them again, he couldn't help but exclaim.
At this, a middle-aged man smiled in satisfaction, "He is neither arrogant nor humble. He is unrestrained. His mentality is not bad."
"That's right. Mentality, capabilities, and talent are all top notch. What a Heaven's Favorite." A sturdy man was full of compliments and said aggressively, "This person is mine for the Battle Peak."
As soon as he finished speaking, someone retorted.
The one who spoke was a dignified woman. She glared at the sturdy man, "Don't you know the rules of the Shang Qing Sect? Anyone who passes the test has the right to choose. To put it bluntly, it's others who choose us, not the other way around. "
Then, she shifted her gaze towards Ling Xian and revealed a beautiful smile.
"Little fellow, come to my Sacred Peak. I can provide you with powerful Secret Arts, high-quality pills, and inexhaustible resources."
Hearing this, Ling Xian faintly smiled but didn't say anything.
He had already expected that after he revealed his shocking battle strength, the peak leaders would definitely fight over him. Originally, he had planned to join the Dao Peak, one of the four peaks. However, he changed his mind on his way here.
Therefore, he did not agree to the Sacred Peak Master's offer.
Seeing this, the beautiful woman frowned. The other peak leaders, on the other hand, laughed.
"Little fellow, come to my divine peak. Whatever she can give you, I can give you as well. What she can't give, I can give. "A man with a temperament as cold as an iceberg suddenly spoke.
Then, the Cultivation Peak Leader spoke. He didn't say much, but his words were heavy.
"Come to my Dao Peak, I'll give you whatever you want."
As his words faded, the other three peak masters furrowed their brows. Though this statement was a little exaggerated, it was enough to prove the Dao Peak Leader's determination.
What could they do? Whether it was his natural talent or his capabilities, he was a true genius. If they could take him in, it would be the same as gaining glory. Naturally, the other four peak leaders would be tempted.
"You are exaggerating a little."
The corner of the iceberg man's lips curled up, "Even if you are the strongest, you have no right to say something like that."
The Dao Peak Leader ignored him and shifted his gaze towards Ling Xian, "Out of the four peaks of the Shang Qing Sect, the Dao Peak is the strongest. That is something the entire world has agreed on. So think carefully about which peak you want to go to in order for your cultivation journey to be smooth. "
Ling Xian had a smile on his lips but he still didn't speak.
He had stayed at the Shang Qing Sect for quite some time and naturally knew that the four peaks each had their strengths and weaknesses. However, whether it was the overall capability or the peak leader's capability, the Dao Peak was the strongest and was slightly better than the other three peaks.
Sadly, if the Immortal of Crafts hadn't awakened, he would've considered joining the Dao Peak. But now, he was planning on joining the Path of Crafts. For one, he didn't want to go to a place where battles happen every day. For two, he wanted to learn more about crafts.
After all, if he goes to one of the four peaks, his daily life will be dominated by fighting. He was a completion leveled powerhouse. How could he handle fighting with a group of little kids?
If he goes to the Path of Crafts, then it would be different. Not only would he not have to fight with little kids, but he could also gain some knowledge. It was killing two birds with one stone.
"Xian Ling, there are many beauties at the Peak of Saints. If you come, you might find yourself a good companion." The dignified woman smiled and tried to seduce Ling Xian with her beauty.
"About that … thank you for your kind offer." Ling Xian shook his head with a smile.
"Xian Ling, the four peak leaders have personally come to this place for you and have made many promises."
The Dao Peak Leader spoke slowly, "I hope you can make a decision soon. Do not worry, the Shang Qing Sect's rule is that you can choose however you want. No matter which peak you choose, we will not complain."
After a pause, he added, "But I hope that you can think about your future and choose the most suitable place for you to grow."
Meaning, he hoped he would choose the Dao Peak.
Sadly, Ling Xian's decision was out of the Dao Peak Leader's expectations. It was out of everyone's expectations as well.
"I appreciate the four peak leaders' good intentions. But I am very interested in crafts, so I choose the Path of Crafts."
His indifferent words stunned everyone present.
The Leader of Crafts, in particular, widened his eyes. He didn't think Ling Xian would make such a decision.
Originally, he came here with the thought of going through the motions and didn't think he would have a chance. Because this was something that was obvious. How could a Heaven's Favorite with Royal Level talent and extremely powerful battle prowess choose a secondary profession?
Yet before everyone's eyes, Ling Xian had chosen a profession. Why wouldn't everyone be shocked?
Luckily, nobody here was a normal person. After a moment of shock, they regained themselves.
"Xian Ling, I hope you will reconsider. With your natural talent, if you choose a profession, wouldn't you be wasting a god's gift? "The Dao Peak Leader's expression was emotionless. It was impossible to tell if he was happy or angry.
The other three peak leaders didn't speak. However, their tightly knitted brows revealed what they were thinking.
They didn't want Ling Xian to choose a profession.
Because that was no longer wasting a god's gift, it was destroying his own future!
An outstanding genius in cultivation chose a secondary profession. Anyone would think that he was treating his future as a child's play.
However, Ling Xian didn't think so.
He was a completion leveled powerhouse and he didn't come to the Shang Qing Sect to cultivate. On top of that, he had the inheritance from the Immortal of Crafts. If he doesn't learn it, then he would be wasting a god's gift!
Therefore, Ling Xian made a very certain statement that angered the four peak leaders so much that they left.
"I have made up my mind. There is no need to persuade me."
