"Why are you still standing there in a daze?"
Noticing Yi Yun's lack of reaction, a personal disciple with thick eyebrows said unhappily. Yi Yun glanced at the youth with thick eyebrows. He knew that his surname was Song, and he was the one with the least seniority among the four personal disciples. According to Senior Brother Ji, he would only be officially taken in as a disciple by Elder Grand Pure in a few days.
Seeing Yi Yun ignore him after giving him a nonchalant glance, the thick-browed youth was infuriated. As a personal disciple, he was always the center of attention. He was long accustomed to the envious and respectful looks of others. When had he ever seen a disciple who was still taking the test treat him with such contempt?
Just as he was about to teach the punk who did not know what was good for him a lesson, Senior Brother Ji stopped the thick-browed youth. "Junior Brother Song, that's enough!"
With that said, Senior Brother Ji looked at Yi Yun. "You aren't willing to offer your blood?"
Yi Yun said, "You seem to be planning on activating the Ascending Dragon Cauldron? However, I'm here to participate in the test, not to be your guinea pig. "
Yi Yun knew very well that the Myriad God Ridge's goal was to use him as a guinea pig. They wanted to achieve their goals.
Furthermore, Yi Yun had joined the Myriad God Ridge to interact with Old Snake. He did not want to attract too much attention. If the process of stirring the cauldron went overboard, he would probably not have any peaceful days in the Myriad God Ridge.
As for offending the Myriad God Ridge, Yi Yun thought nothing of it. While he was dripping his blood to stir the cauldron, he noticed from the corner of his eye that Old Snake's gaze had been on him for a long time. As such, Yi Yun believed that what he had demonstrated was enough to pique Old Snake's interest.
However, when Yi Yun said those words, everyone present, especially those who were racking their brains to squeeze into the Myriad God Ridge, was dumbfounded.
Which one of them did not feel fear and trepidation when they joined the Myriad God Ridge? When they saw a Myriad God Ridge disciple, even ordinary disciples would be respectful, much less personal disciples. They would bow in all sorts of ways. It was ridiculous for Yi Yun to speak to a personal disciple in such a manner.
"This fellow … sure is ruthless."
The well-dressed youths were at a loss for words. The two people who had interacted with the old scalper were each more impressive than the other.
Not only was his' wisdom root 'impressive, his bearing was even more impressive. His personal disciples and Myriad God Ridge Elders did not even bat an eyelid.
"Ah, you really have guts. However, it's not good for young people to be too arrogant. Even if your talent is outstanding and you can look down on the heroes in the place you grew up in, when you come out and come into contact with the wider world, you will know that you are just a frog at the bottom of a well. There are too many geniuses in this world, many of them are beyond your imagination."
Mo Shanqing said faintly. He could tell that Yi Yun's foundation was much more robust than typical warriors at the same realm. He was likely a genius for him to be so arrogant.
However, there were too many geniuses in the Myriad God Ridge. Many of them were proud genius disciples, but after entering the Myriad God Ridge, they realized that they were just ordinary disciples. Naturally, their arrogance vanished.
Mo Shanqing only treated this kind of person as a child throwing a tantrum and didn't care about it at all.
"Offer up your blood. I'm not asking for your opinion, I'm ordering you."
Mo Shanqing's voice turned colder. As an Elder of the Myriad God Ridge, how could he allow a newly recruited disciple to challenge his authority?
No junior would dare speak to him in such a tone. In the history of the Myriad God Ridge, there were a few disciples that managed to extract treasures from the Myriad God Ridge. Didn't they all obediently hand the treasures over to the Myriad God Ridge?
Upon hearing Mo Shanqing's words, Yi Yun's brows knitted even tighter. Just as he was considering how to respond, a deep Yuan Qi voice transmission sounded in Yi Yun's ears.
"Offer up your blood. Just a few drops will do. Even if you don't want to stay here, I do! Don't give me more trouble. "
Oh?
Yi Yun's heart stirred as he turned to look in Old Snake's direction. He saw that the old man had found a corner and was sitting cross-legged. His clothes were tattered to begin with. Now, he was sitting there, drinking from a dirty alcohol calabash and watching the show. He looked like a beggar.
Yi Yun chose to listen to Old Snake. He believed in Huan Chenxue.
With a finger of Sword Qi, he sliced open his finger. A few drops of blood flew out and shot into the sky!
At the instant the blood entered the clouds, Yi Yun sensed an invisible force penetrate the clouds. This force severed his connection with the few drops of blood.
"Ding! Ding!
Ding! "The blood shot into the Ascending Dragon Cauldron, producing a sound that sounded like steel balls striking bronze.
However, the Ascending Dragon Cauldron remained motionless. It was not triggered by Yi Yun's blood.
Yi Yun's heart palpitated. That force from before …
Yi Yun looked at Old Snake. It was this old man?
Old Snake was drinking his alcohol as though it had nothing to do with him. Yi Yun was puzzled as to how the old fellow had instantly wiped away his blood imprint. It felt like it was a completely different person's blood.
"He failed?"
Mo Shanqing shook his head secretly when he saw that the Ascending Dragon Cauldron did not react.
Was it really a coincidence? It was already odd that no treasures shot out of the Ascending Dragon Cauldron. Now, Yi Yun's blood did not trigger any changes in the Ascending Dragon Cauldron. It left Mo Shanqing extremely disappointed.
He had lost the credit he was about to receive.
Mo Shanqing was disappointed, but Junior Brother Song was feeling extremely smug. He was truly afraid that Yi Yun would stir the Ascending Dragon Cauldron again. If that happened, wouldn't Yi Yun be riding all over him in the Myriad God Ridge?
"This punk still has the cheek to be arrogant. Didn't he obediently produce his blood the moment Martial Uncle Mo spoke? Unfortunately, it was useless. He's just trash," Junior Brother Song said sarcastically.
Junior Brother Song said sarcastically. Previously, he had been rebuked by Yi Yun, but now, he could finally vent his anger.
"Martial Uncle Mo, the Ascending Dragon Cauldron's trembling was likely a coincidence. Perhaps it has nothing to do with him. This person is likely unqualified and cannot become a disciple of our Myriad God Ridge."
Senior Brother Ji, who was the leader of the four personal disciples, spoke as well.
Mo Shanqing was momentarily in a dilemma. He had never encountered such a situation before. He did not know how to judge Yi Yun.
However, the Ascending Dragon Cauldron was of utmost importance. Even though he knew that the divine dragon's appearance was likely a coincidence, Mo Shanqing did not wish to give up this opportunity. Upon coming to this conclusion, Mo Shanqing lit up a special voice transmission charm and went to ask the sect master.
Yi Yun watched all of this indifferently. These people had gotten one thing wrong. They believed that he was begging them to join the Myriad God Ridge. In fact, Yi Yun had no intention of joining the Myriad God Ridge. Just as he was about to turn and leave, he heard the Yuan Qi voice transmission from before.
"Lad, don't be so impetuous. The Myriad God Ridge has some interesting places. Why else do you think I'm here?"
Upon hearing the voice, Yi Yun stopped in his tracks. He looked at Old Snake in a speechless manner. The old man was like a roundworm in his stomach. He could always guess what was on Yi Yun's mind. This left Yi Yun extremely displeased. The old fellow must have known that Huan Chenxue had sent him here, but he remained aloof and indifferent.
At that moment, another flame lit up. It was the Myriad God Ridge's reply through a voice transmission charm.
"Martial Uncle Mo, that bastard has been eliminated, right?"
Junior Brother Song gave Yi Yun a contemptuous glance as he said gloatingly. In fact, he hated disciples who relied on their so-called 'wisdom roots' to enter the Myriad God Ridge. They were not geniuses, but because of all that nonsense, they were able to soar. What gave them the right to do so?
He, Song Bowen, had painstakingly cultivated in exchange for his present accomplishments. Yet, his blood had failed to make the Ascending Dragon Cauldron react in any way. Was that fair?
It was unknown what sort of standards the Ascending Dragon Cauldron followed!
Song Bowen was not the only one who could not stir the cauldron. The other three personal disciples were the same. This made them feel somewhat repulsed by Yi Yun and Snake Girl.
