Peak Master's Hall.
Ning Qi followed Fan Zeng into the hall. The disciples standing on both sides of the hall immediately looked at him with respect and admiration.
"You're here, Ning."
Elder Ying chuckled.
"Greetings, Peak Master."
Ning Qi cupped his hands and bowed.
Pei Yong had been sizing Ning Qi up. There seemed to be a fine line moving in his golden pupils. If one looked closely, they could see two golden dragons swimming in them.
Ning Qi sensed a trace of coldness on his body. His eyes met Pei Yong's. After seeing the two golden dragons in Pei Yong's eyes, Ning Qi already knew where the coldness was coming from.
This pair of eyes was definitely not ordinary. They were either born with it or acquired through cultivation. That trace of coldness just now should be the other party probing his true identity.
But what could a late-stage Heaven Immortal see through? Even if an Immortal Emperor personally came, Ning Qi wasn't sure if the other party would be able to see through the system. In Ning Qi's heart, the Jiang Clan was even more mysterious and powerful than an Immortal Emperor, but the system was above the Jiang Clan!
At this moment, Ning Qi saw through Pei Yong!
Xuanjian Sect's Pro-line Disciple: Pei Yong
Level: Late-stage Heaven Immortal
Cultivation Methods: Rank Five Longevity Secret Art, Rank Five Exquisite Sword Technique, Rank Five Moon Embrace Sword Formation.
Immortal Race: Red Dragon Eye (Rank 2)
Health Points: 500!
"Is this Junior Apprentice Brother Ning? You're indeed a young talent to be able to defeat my Junior Brother He Ze at the late-stage Human Immortal Realm. Even I couldn't do that when I was young. "
Pei Yong said with a smile.
"You flatter me."
Ning Qi said indifferently.
"Pei, he's here. Say what you want. Don't beat around the bush!"
Old Ying said unhappily.
"Alright."
Pei Yong nodded and turned to Ning Qi with a serious expression. "Ning Beixuan, listen up!"
Listen up?
So serious?
Fan Zeng and the others were slightly shocked. However, Ning Qi was still looking at Pei Yong without any reaction. Pei Yong was startled. Then, he realized that Ning Qi had just joined the sect and was only a janitor, so it was possible that he didn't know the rules. He continued, "According to the ancestor's order, Ning Beixuan is now a core disciple.
Report to the main peak's Hall of Inheritance within a month! "
"Junior Apprentice Brother Ning, congratulations!"
The solemn expression on Pei Yong's face had already disappeared as he chuckled and said to Ning Qi.
Making Ning Beixuan a direct disciple?
This news was like a boulder falling into a calm lake. Except for Fan Zeng and Elder Ying, the rest of the disciples of the Missing Moon Peak stared at Ning Qi with their mouths agape. Their eyes were filled with disbelief, envy, and jealousy!
To them, the position of Elite Disciple was too far away. They would be satisfied if they could obtain the identity of an Inner Court Disciple in this lifetime.
Now, he was like an ordinary person who suddenly saw someone win a huge prize. The feeling in his heart was indescribable!
Give me a carrot after hitting me with a stick? Ning Qi's eyes were filled with mockery. It was obvious that this was a trick of the Xuanjian Ancestor. He wanted to compensate Ning Qi with the identity of a Core Disciple. At the same time, he was probably testing Ning Qi. If he really went to the main peak, Ning Qi would probably face more trouble.
Those Core Disciples, such as the one in front of him, could use all kinds of reasons to propose a spar.
However, that was nothing.
Ning Qi simply didn't want to accept the carrot because he wasn't a donkey.
"Sorry to trouble you, Senior Apprentice Brother. Please tell the ancestor that I'm not going to the main peak."
Ning Qi smiled.
"What?"
Pei Yong's face was filled with astonishment.
Elder Ying's expression changed slightly as he looked at Ning Qi thoughtfully. Then, he smiled and nodded while stroking his beard.
"Junior Apprentice Brother Ning, he …"
Fan Zeng couldn't believe it.
The rest of the disciples of the Missing Moon Peak finally reacted. Regardless of Elder Ying and Pei Yong, they all gasped! They stared at Ning Qi, dumbfounded!
"Junior Apprentice Brother Ning, did you just say …"
Pei Yong was a little shocked.
In the Xuanjian sect, there was still someone who would refuse the position of a Successor Disciple?
To be honest, if a former Successor Disciple like Ye Tian received such news, he would also give up the position of Golden Sun Peak's peak master and head to the main peak!
No one below the Golden Immortal stage would be able to resist this temptation!
The Successor Disciples of the Xuanjian sect could not only browse any cultivation technique below the fourth rank, but they could also browse any cultivation technique below the fifth rank.
There were also various other benefits. Even the peak masters could not enjoy these benefits. It could be considered as the back door opened by the Mysterious Sword Elder for the Successor Disciples!
In addition, the most important thing was that even if a Successor Disciple was not a direct disciple of the Mysterious Sword Elder, he would occasionally be able to receive pointers from the Mysterious Sword Elder. How rare was such an opportunity? If it was those rogue cultivators, they would probably never be able to receive pointers from a Perfected Golden Immortal in their entire lives!
The other party actually refused just like that?
Pei Yong thought that he might have misheard.
"I've stayed in the Missing Moon Peak for eight or nine years. I feel that this place is not bad. I'm already used to it, so I won't go to the main peak. Senior Apprentice Brother Pei, Ancestor Xuanjian won't expel me from the Xuanjian sect because of this, right?"
Ning Qi said with a smile that was not a smile.
"That won't happen, it's just that … The difference in spiritual energy between the Missing Moon Peak and the main peak is too great, and there are many other benefits to becoming a Successor Disciple. Junior Apprentice Brother Ning, do you want to reconsider?"
Pei Yong frowned.
"Brat Pei, what do you mean? Do you think that the spiritual energy of my Missing Moon Peak is inferior to the main peak? When my son was here, the spiritual energy of the Missing Moon Peak was one of the best in the Xuanjian sect. Although it can't be compared to the main peak, it's not that bad!
"Elder Ying couldn't help but curse.
A trace of cold sweat appeared on Pei Yong's forehead as he hurriedly explained to Elder Ying that he didn't mean anything else.
"Then why aren't you leaving? Didn't you hear Ning Qi say that he didn't want to go to the main peak? I'll go and explain to the Patriarch. Hurry up and leave! "
Elder Ying waved his hand as if he was shooing away flies.
"Then, I'll take my leave now …"
Pei Yong cupped his hands and gave Ning Qi a deep look before leaving.
"Brat Ning, stay in my Missing Moon Peak. I won't treat you unfairly. If anyone dares to cause trouble for you in the future, I'll stand up for you. Although my cultivation is very low, as long as I'm alive, even the Patriarch will have to give me some face in this Xuanjian sect!"
As soon as Pei Yong left, Elder Ying stood up and walked to Ning Qi's side. He patted Ning Qi's shoulder and said with a smile.
"Thank you, Old Peak Master. If there's nothing else, this disciple will take his leave first."
Ning Qi smiled and cupped his hands.
"Good, good! Fan Zeng, why aren't you sending your Senior Apprentice Brother Ning out? "
Elder Ying laughed.
Senior Apprentice Brother Ning?
