NOVEL NEXT Chapter 5
Chapter 5: A Gift for the Sect Master:
After hearing the system prompt. Gu Feng changed his mind and quickly nodded.
[Look!]
It displayed a system panel.
[Luck: 15]
5 points of which were added when he accepted Liu Fengqing as his master.
“What did I just do?” Gu Feng rubbed the jade ring on his finger.
Was it slapping Ye Fan’s face earlier?
Or what he said to Ling Xue?
[So, do you want to consider going to the Lingyun Sect?] the system asked.
“No need. I’m not here to rewrite the plot. Let the protagonist and female leads fall in love however they want. I aim to reach the Seventh Realm and become the strongest. Romance will only slow down my cultivation.”
Gu Feng’s own talent was quite exceptional too.
Back then, after being selected into the Lingyun Sect, because of Ye Fan, no master was willing to take him in.
So he had to rely on the resources given by the system to learn.
As long as it didn’t interfere with the plot, the system was willing to help.
In the end, if it weren’t for the plot requiring him to jump into the abyss sea, he could have taken down that group of self-righteous people again.
[Your wish] the system said weakly.
Ever since being targeted by the Heavenly Dao, the system had planned to play dead to the end.
This plot, the host could follow if he wanted to, or not if he didn’t.
It didn’t matter.
…
With the sect’s disciple selection over, all sects in the Lingyuan Continent were in high spirits.
When new disciples joined, it was customary to arrange a grand competition within the sect.
This was a tradition of the Zhengyuan Sect.
The top hundred disciples would become inner disciples and could choose their masters from the elders in the sect.
Except for Elder Liu Fengqing.
But today, the disciples of the Zhengyuan Sect received shocking news.
The Grand Elder had taken in a disciple.
And it was a disciple from the outside world.
“Uncle Liu, he took in a disciple?” Bai Yuxiao almost crushed the jade flute in his hand when he heard the news.
His family elders had a favor with Liu Fengqing.
So when he reached the appropriate age, they sent him to the Zhengyuan Sect.
If he could secure a spot among the top hundred inner disciples, he planned to publicly acknowledge Liu Fengqing as his master.
He even brought a token for this purpose.
Liu Fengqing wasn’t only the Grand Elder of the Zhengyuan Sect but also the elder brother of the Sect Master, Liu Fengyi.
It was rumored that Liu Fengyi once said that the future position of Sect Master would be passed to his elder brother’s direct disciple.
Now, hearing this news out of the blue, it was understandable he was on the verge of breaking down.
“Who exactly is the Grand Elder’s last disciple to make him break his rule? I remember the Grand Elder swore not to take any disciples after hearing the Sect Master’s promise.”
“I heard it’s the son of a wandering cultivator at the Golden Core Realm.”
“A wandering cultivator? And at the Golden Core Realm? Does that mean he’s exceptionally talented?”
“Not sure, seems ordinary. If he were truly gifted from a small place, they would have bragged about it.”
“I heard from an inner sect senior that he saved the Grand Elder’s life, which is why the elder took him in.”
“That must be it. People from small places are always scheming.”
Listening to the discussions around him, Bai Yuxiao’s eyes grew colder.
Meanwhile, Gu Feng, the subject of everyone’s gossip, was unaffected.
He sat leisurely beside Liu Fengqing, sipping tea.
Liu Fengyi, who had come over, frowned slightly.
A disciple sitting beside the elders?
He was about to reprimand when Gu Feng softly remarked, “The tea in Zhengyuan Sect tastes pretty good.”
Liu Fengqing asked with some joy, “You like it? I’ll give you some.”
Gu Feng nodded.
Liu Fengyi felt like he was seeing things.
Was this really his brother who always kept others at arm’s length?
Why did it seem like he was being respectful when speaking to this disciple?
Liu Fengyi didn’t speak hastily and instead sat next to Liu Fengqing.
“Brother, who is this?”
Liu Fengqing coughed lightly, “My new disciple, Gu Feng.”
He introduced Gu Feng with a bit of restraint.
However, Gu Feng was straightforward and nodded at Liu Fengyi, “Uncle Lui!”
Liu Fengyi tried to see Gu Feng’s cultivation.
But he found that Gu Feng appeared like a misty blur to him.
He was astonished. His own cultivation was no less than Liu Fengqing’s, ranking high on the entire Lingyuan Continent.
How could he not see through a mere disciple?
Yet, being a sect master, he didn’t let his surprise show.
Instead, he took out a gift box, “This is for our first meeting, a small gift.”
Gu Feng was a bit surprised but accepted it with a smile, “A gift from an elder cannot be refused. Thank you, Uncle Lui.”
Then he raised his hand.
Within ten meters, the spiritual Qi suddenly vanished.
Liu Fengyi’s eyes widened as he watched Gu Feng form a crystal-clear pill out of thin air.
“This is a return gift.”
Normally, elders shouldn’t accept gifts from juniors.
But…
The spiritual Qi within him stirred restlessly.
Even the Nascent Soul seated within his spiritual platform widened its eyes, staring intently at the pill.
“This…this…this is too precious.” Liu Fengyi blurted out instinctively.
Realizing what he had said, his face turned red.
