At the foot of the main peak, Zhou Tao revealed a look of surprise when he saw Ning Qi appear.
"Brother Ning, it's been less than 10 years. Why did you leave the mountain?"
Zhou Tao asked with a surprised expression. When the others heard this, their expressions changed slightly, and they looked at Ning Qi with a strange look in their eyes. He had left the Star Pavilion in less than ten years. It was very likely that … he had already established a connection with a certain star, and from then on, he had an endless supply of energy from that star.
Using the power of the stars to aid his cultivation, he was no longer an ordinary cultivator!
"Good luck."
Ning Qi smiled.
Zhou Tao was stunned for a moment and then gasped. "You, you succeeded on your first trip to the Star Pavilion?" Without waiting for Ning Qi to speak, Zhou Tao revealed a look of envy. "It seems that your talent is indeed much stronger than ours. We have been to the Star Pavilion more than 10 times over the years, but we have never been able to establish a connection with a star. You succeeded on your first try.
Congratulations, from now on, you're a core disciple reserve! "
Core disciple reserve? Ning Qi saw everyone looking at him with envy and smiled. After chatting with Zhou Tao for a bit, he left the main peak. His purpose for coming to the Ancient Star Pavilion had been completed. Now, Ning Qi could choose to stay here and cultivate.
He could also choose to return to the Dark Parliament headquarters and not return to the Ancient Star Pavilion.
However, Ning Qi didn't plan to give up his identity in the Ancient Star Pavilion. With this identity, it wouldn't be so troublesome to travel in the Divine Luo Realm.
Just as he returned to his own mountain range in the core courtyard, Ning Qi saw someone with an aura no weaker than a core disciple. Seeing Ning Qi appear, this person immediately looked at Ning Qi.
"Are you the new core disciple, Ning Qi?"
The other party looked at Ning Qi for a while before speaking.
"You are?" Ning Qi looked at the other party and wanted to check his attributes. However, he suddenly remembered that the system was being updated and he couldn't use this function. His gaze fell on the person's collar. There was a symbol embroidered on the collar, proving that he wasn't a disciple of the Ancient Star Pavilion.
He was not a disciple, but a deacon elder.
"Hidden Star Temple deacon Dongfang Qingyang."
The other party smiled faintly.
"Hidden Star Temple deacon?"
Ning Qi's eyes moved slightly, and he said with a smile, "What brings you here?" The status of a core disciple was no weaker than that of an ordinary Deacon. Even though they were at the Rebirth Realm, those who chose to become Deacons were those who had reached the end of their cultivation path and wanted to find another path.
Their status was only slightly higher than that of the inner sect disciples.
"The Great Elder of the Hidden Star Palace, Yao Mu, wishes to see you. I have been waiting at your door for several years. Finally, you have returned. If there is nothing else, please follow me to the Hidden Star Palace."
Dongfang Qing Yang smiled.
Great Elder Yao Mu? Ning Qi's heart stirred. When he heard those two words, he immediately thought of a middle-aged man standing next to Fei Xunzi during the Outer Sect Competition between the Alkaid Star Palace and the Mizar Palace. Fei Xunzi had called him Elder Yao, and Ning Qi had seen him at that time.
The full name was Yao Mu.
However, this person seemed to be on Jiang Tianshu's side. The other elder, Qi Haoran's attitude was very obvious. He didn't support Jiang Tianshu's position, but Yao Mu was completely different!
Seemingly seeing that Ning Qi was' hesitating, 'Dongfang Qing Yang smiled. "After Elder Yao Mu found out about your battle with Bai Shaoqiu, he became fond of you, so you don't have to worry."
"Please lead the way."
Ning Qi smiled. Upon seeing this, Dongfang Qing Yang nodded with a smile and flew towards the Hidden Star Palace with Ning Qi. When they arrived at the Hidden Star Palace, many disciples along the way respectfully saluted Dongfang Qing Yang when they saw him. Even the core disciples would enthusiastically greet him.
From the looks of it, Dongfang Qing Yang's status in the Hidden Star Palace wasn't low.
Not long after, Dongfang Qing Yang brought Ning Qi to a large palace. There were two Heaven's Mandate Realm cultivators standing at the door. They were wearing similar clothes to Dongfang Qing Yang.
"Deacon Qing Yang, this is?"
"Core disciple Ning Qi, Elder Yao wants to see him."
Dongfang Qing Yang smiled.
The two glanced at each other, then nodded and gestured for Ning Qi to enter. Dongfang Qing Yang led Ning Qi into the palace. After Ning Qi sat down, he turned around and left. Soon after, a maidservant girl walked up to Ning Qi, poured him a cup of tea, then turned around and left.
She was at the early stage of the Karma Realm. Ning Qi smiled, took a sip of tea, and calmly observed the furnishings in the hall. This wait lasted for an entire seven days. Every day, the servant girl would come up to change a pot of tea, but she never said a single word to Ning Qi, nor did she say a single word to him.
They made eye contact, and Ning Qi didn't open his mouth and didn't look at her either.
… …
"This kid is quite calm."
In another room, Yao Mu lowered his head and took a sip of tea. He looked at a bronze mirror not far away and smiled.
Ning Qi's image could be seen in the bronze mirror.
The maidservant and Dongfang Qing Yang were respectfully standing behind Yao Mu with their heads lowered. It wasn't until Yao Mu spoke that Dongfang Qing Yang smiled and said, "Elder Yao, didn't you fancy his talent? Why did you leave him hanging for so long? "
"Aside from talent, the disciple I want to accept also needs character. If he shows a trace of impatience just because of a few days, then his temperament is lacking."
Yao Mu smiled.
"Elder Yao is really far-sighted."
Dongfang Qing Yang gently flattered him.
"He hasn't been cultivating in the cave for the past few years. Have you found out where he went?"
Yao Mu asked.
"I have. He has been staying in the Star Pavilion on the main peak for the past few years."
Dongfang Qing Yang whispered. "Oh? He hasn't stayed for ten years? Then he has probably already established a connection with a star. To have such a result on his first trip to the Star Pavilion, his talent is indeed extraordinary. No wonder even Bai Shaoqiu, who has condensed a rank 6 Ancient Star Body, isn't his match.
It won't be long before he becomes a core disciple. "
Yao Mu smiled. Dongfang Qing Yang had a smile on his face, but when he looked at the copper mirror, there was a flash of jealousy in his eyes. A mere fellow that had only been in the Ancient Star System Pavilion for a few hundred years was about to become a true disciple, and he had stayed in the Ancient Star System Pavilion for too long.
He had stayed in the Ancient Star Pavilion for so many years without a chance to become a core disciple. If he hadn't become a deacon and joined Yao Mu, he wouldn't even have his Rebirth Realm cultivation...
