Xiuxian: I use magnetic fields to prove my truth

Chapter 33 Senior Brother

Elder Jin Mang and Chen Qingxuan pressed their flying swords, landed in front of the disciples, and accepted their respects.

Elder Jin Mang first looked at Wei Kuang with approval.

He had already asked someone to find out, and Wei Kuang now had seven inches of spiritual pressure.

In just less than three months, he cultivated seven inches of spiritual pressure. Even with his talent of sixteen spiritual roots, it was not easy. If he could maintain this progress, he should be able to break through to the second level of Qi Refining within two years.

This made Jin Mang feel deeply relieved.

Wei Kuang's grandfather Wei Zhun was a disciple that Jin Mang loved very much. He was very talented and had a humble and steady personality.

Jin Mang once firmly believed that given time, Wei Zhun would be able to advance to the Foundation Establishment Stage and become the backbone of the Qingyun Sect.

Unfortunately, when Wei Zhun was on a mission, he was besieged by evil cultivators and died.

Jin Mang felt sad about this, so he took Wei Kuang to the sect for training. Now seeing Wei Kuang's rapid progress in cultivation, the grief caused by Wei Zhun's death seemed to be alleviated a lot.

Jin Mang said, "According to the rules of Qingyun Sect, after each class of disciples passes the introductory lecture, the most outstanding one among them who can serve as a role model for all the disciples will be selected to be the eldest brother."

There was a slight commotion among the crowd.

All the disciples exchanged glances with each other.

Wei Xu, Nie Yunxi and Wang Xiaohu nodded in understanding.

They had already discussed this matter privately. If Elder Jinmang insisted on choosing Wei Kuang as the eldest senior brother, they would rather offend the elder and stand up for Zhou Qingming.

Everyone has seen what Zhou Qing has done for the disciples in the past three months. If the position of the eldest senior brother falls on someone else, no one will be convinced.

Not only did the three of them think so, but according to information Wang Xiaohu had obtained, the other disciples also held the same view.

Elder Jinmang continued, "Your doubt solver once recommended Zhou Qing to me as the senior disciple. I've learned about Zhou Qing's situation. He's indeed an outstanding child. Unfortunately, his spiritual roots are flawed, so he won't be able to go far. To be the senior disciple of Qingyun Sect, the most important thing is to have a cultivation level that far exceeds others. Only then can you win the support of the others."

"So I recommended Wei Kuang."

"Later, we reached an agreement. By the end of the sermon, if Zhou Qing's cultivation level could reach half of Wei Kuang's, the position of the eldest senior brother would be given to Zhou Qing. Otherwise, it would go to Wei Kuang."

"Now, both of you come before me, each of you stop practicing the Hidden Qi Technique, and reveal your spiritual pressure. I will verify your cultivation."

Wei Xu nodded to Nie Yunxi and Wang Xiaohu, and was about to step forward to take the lead and express the opinions on behalf of all the disciples.

But someone took a step forward faster than him and walked out of the crowd.

"Elder, I have something to say."

"Oh, Wei Kuang, what do you have to say?"

Elder Jin Mang looked at Wei Kuang who was walking forward and asked with a pleasant expression.

Wei Kuang said: "Disciple wants to withdraw from the competition for the position of Senior Brother."

Jin Mang frowned and asked, "You said you want to withdraw from the election?"

Wei Kuang said: "That's right."

"Why?"

Wei Kuang said: "I think Zhou Qing is more suitable to be the senior brother than me."

Jin Mang said, "I will decide who is the most suitable. It is not your place as a junior to speak nonsense. Back off!"

Wei Kuang sensed Elder Jin Mang's anger and couldn't help but feel nervous, but this was not the time for him to back down, so he said, "Elder, Zhou Qing saved my life and guided me. I feel uneasy about arguing with him."

Without waiting for Elder Jin Mang to speak, Wei Xu seized the opportunity and stepped out from the crowd, saying, "Elder, please retract your order. We disciples are willing to accept Zhou Qing as our senior brother." The other disciples also said in unison, "We disciples are willing to accept Zhou Qing as our senior brother!"

Elder Jinmang was stunned.

Only then did he realize that the situation seemed to be completely beyond his expectations.

More than two months ago, he gave the heart-strengthening pill to Wei Kuang and no longer paid attention to what was happening here.

The cultivation of new disciples did not require the personal attention of an elder like him. If Wei Kuang had not been among these new disciples, he would have completely let the matter go.

In his opinion, with the heart-strengthening pill, the competition with the eldest senior brother was settled.

Wei Kuang has sixteen spiritual roots, while Zhou Qing only has one. Theoretically, the speed of cultivation between the two is sixteen times different.

With such a huge gap, the result could not be a foregone conclusion, so he only had to wait for two or three months to give Wei Kuang the instruction, and that would be considered the fulfillment of his wish.

Unexpectedly, the development of the matter was completely beyond his control.

Looking at the stubborn expressions of the disciples on the stage, Elder Jin belatedly realized that Zhou Qing not only won the attention of Chen Qingxuan, but also conquered all the disciples of his class in just two months.

But...how is this possible? !
People who have the talent for cultivating immortals usually display various supernatural powers since childhood. They are all arrogant and will never bow to others easily.

What kind of magic does Zhou Qing have that he can subdue everyone?
Although Elder Jinmang had never heard of the mass line, he understood that when all the disciples of the same class believed in Zhou Qing, he was actually the eldest senior brother.

In this case, if he designates someone else as the eldest senior brother, it will not only be unhelpful, but will also cause confusion among this class of disciples and be detrimental to their growth.

He smiled and shook his head, saying, "Interesting, interesting."

"Well, since you are all willing to accept Zhou Qing as your senior brother, what else can I say?"

All the disciples showed their joy.

Chen Qingxuan also winked at Zhou Qing with a smile in his eyes.

In the past two months, Chen Qingxuan had seen Zhou Qing's authority among the disciples growing, so he had anticipated this situation.

But seeing that the matter was finally settled, he couldn't help but feel happy for Zhou Qing.

Elder Jinmang said, "Zhou Qing, come to me."

When Zhou Qing came over, Elder Jinmang looked carefully at this young man whom he had not taken seriously before, and could not understand why he could conquer everyone.

The world of cultivating immortals has always valued spiritual roots over understanding.

Because understanding can be supplemented by inheritance and the experience of predecessors, but spiritual roots are difficult to change no matter what, so once the spiritual roots are restricted, it means that practice will be restricted.

This is why Jin Mang was not optimistic about Zhou Qing from the beginning, but now that the matter is done, he will not target Zhou Qing.

Jin Mang smiled and said, "Zhou Qing, Qingyun Sect has been established for thousands of years, and there has never been someone like you. I hope you can continue to maintain your miracles and carve out a path for yourself."

"The identity of the Qingyun Sect's eldest senior brother carries a heavy responsibility. You must perform well and be worthy of the burden on your shoulders."

After that, he handed a jade token to Zhou Qing and said, "This is the jade token of each senior brother. Your authority must be exercised through this jade token. When you go back, use your mind to enter the jade token and study it carefully."

Zhou Qing took the jade token with both hands and bowed, saying, "Thank you, Elder."

Elder Jinmang said nothing more and flew towards Qingyun Mountain.

When Elder Jin Mang left, all the disciples immediately shouted enthusiastically, "Congratulations, Senior Brother!"
