Something's wrong with this demon.

Chapter 162 Genius

The office was very simple.

A dilapidated wooden house, and an old man with white hair named Fei Yan.

The room was very small.

Therefore, Luo Qingchen and Song Qilin could only stand outside and wait.

Before long, the elders of the five peaks arrived one after another.

The first to arrive was an elder from the main peak named Chen Shuli, who was in charge of recruiting new disciples.

"Senior Brother Fei."

After arriving at the office, Chen Shuli first greeted Fei Yan.

Fei Yan looked at him with some surprise and said, "Why did you come alone?"

Chen Shuli smiled slightly: "One disciple is enough for me."

As he spoke, his gaze fell upon the boy next to Song Qilin.

"Uncle Chen."

Song Qilin quickly bowed respectfully.

Luo Qingchen also bowed and greeted him, "Uncle Chen."

"Luo Qingchen, I heard you used to be a medicine person in Medicine People Town?"

Chen Shuli looked him up and down again before asking a question.

"Yes."

Luo Qingchen said respectfully.

Chen Shuli smiled and praised, "You're quite a talent. Without resources or background, you've actually climbed your way into the inner sect from Medicine Man Town in less than a year. It seems your cultivation talent and opportunities are no less than those geniuses from cultivation families."

At this point, he suddenly changed the subject and said with a smile, "However, our main peak requires a series of assessments before accepting disciples. Moreover, we have already recruited quite a few disciples from outside recently, and I estimate that the quotas for each elder have already been used up. If you want to come to our main peak, I need to register you first, and then I need to go back and ask those elders if they are still willing to accept disciples."

These words were clearly a refusal.

Fei Yan, who was inside the wooden house, frowned upon hearing this, as if he wanted to say something, but hesitated for a moment and then remained silent.

The atmosphere in the room seemed a little awkward for a moment.

Song Qilin quickly chimed in with a smile, "Uncle-Master Chen, actually Junior Brother Luo already has a preferred destination in mind; he wants to go to Corpse Demon Peak."

"Oh? Corpse Demon Peak?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Shuli gave the young man a meaningful look, nodded, and smiled, "Corpse Demon Peak is good; it would be quite suitable for him."

No sooner had the words left his mouth than a sinister voice suddenly came from the path on the right: "Elder Chen, are you afraid that too many of our Corpse Demon Peak disciples and old fogies are dying, so you want this brat to go and cause trouble for a few?"

Luo Qingchen turned her head and saw a thin old man in a black robe, accompanied by two young men, walking over from the path on the right with a gloomy expression.

Upon closer inspection, the two youths had cold faces, dull eyes, and no signs of life on their bodies; they were actually two corpses!

"Senior Brother Wei, what are you saying? I really think this kid is suitable for your Corpse Demon Peak."

Chen Shuli immediately chuckled and said with a big smile.

The newcomer was none other than Elder Wei Changchun of Corpse Demon Peak, who was skilled in corpse refining. His ten personal disciples were all experts in corpse refining.

"Our Corpse Demon Peak is not accepting new disciples for the time being."

Wei Changchun refused without hesitation.

His sinister gaze swept over the young man before him, and he said, "Unless he has a powerful soul, superior spiritual sense, or is born with innate supernatural abilities."

As he spoke, he walked up to Luo Qingchen, extended two fingers, and touched his forehead.

"Whoosh!"

Luo Qingchen immediately felt a chilling aura seep into her mind through the skin between her brows.

In an instant, he seemed to be frozen in place, unable to move at all.

"His soul is ordinary, and his spiritual sense is at the third level. As for innate supernatural abilities, it seems he has none."

A few breaths later, Wei Changchun withdrew his finger and announced the test results.

Then, in a chilling tone, he said, "Therefore, we at Corpse Demon Peak refuse."

Chen Shuli chuckled dryly, about to say something, when Wei Changchun flicked his sleeve, turned around, and strode away with the two corpse slaves.

Then, an elder named Wang Chang also arrived from Tianjiao Peak.

Elder Wang's attitude was even more arrogant than Wei Changchun's. After arriving, he didn't say a word, but directly grabbed Luo Qingchen's wrist, examined his talent, and said coldly, "What kind of bullshit genius is this? You're wasting my time!"

After saying that, he turned and left.

At this moment, Fei Yan, who was inside the wooden house, had no choice but to come out and explain, "Nephew Luo, they weren't targeting you. It's just that you came from Medicine Man Town, and they were wary of that, which is why they acted this way."

Luo Qingchen's heart skipped a beat, and she asked, "Were there any disciples from Medicine Man Town among the inner sect members before?"

Fei Yan gave a bitter smile and said, "Of course there are. They all achieved great things, but—most of them slaughtered many inner disciples and elders. One of them had already become the vice sect leader, but he went berserk and killed two elders and his own two personal disciples. He then tried to kill the sect leader but was killed. Another one—is now the sect leader of the Blood Eagle Sect."

Luo Qingchen's expression shifted, and she asked, "Why are they—"

"Our Demon-Slaying Sect's cultivation techniques, as well as the training environment within the sect, will influence the spirit and temperament of each disciple."

However, most disciples can control themselves. As for you who came from Medicine Man Town, you've probably experienced too much—”

Fei Yan offered a few explanations, but then seemed to realize something was amiss and stopped.

He paused, then said, "You'll know some things later. Your background is a bit special right now, so I advise you not to be picky. Go with whoever wants you later. Anyway, you can cultivate the techniques of other peaks on every peak."

Luo Qingchen nodded silently.

He had long suspected that there was something wrong with the Demon-Slaying Sect's techniques.

Every time I encounter a monster, I feel an inexplicable and inexplicable hatred.

Furthermore, he had only glanced at a few pictures on the Hehuan Kung Fu manual, but those pictures were immediately engraved in his mind, occasionally surfacing to tempt his desires.

Given his temperament and composure, he almost lost control of his body at that time.

Moreover, those techniques were only those of the outer sect.

I fear that the inner sect's techniques will amplify the various demonic tendencies and desires within each person.

At this moment, two elders from the Weapon Refining Peak and the Medicine Peak walked over together.

The two chatted as they walked, and when they got closer, they both glanced at Luo Qingchen before exchanging pleasantries with Fei Yan with smiles on their faces.

After exchanging pleasantries, Elder Ren Song of the Weapon Refining Peak said directly, "When I arrived just now, I happened to see the Peak Master. I spoke with the Peak Master about the new disciples, and the Peak Master said that our Weapon Refining Peak will not be recruiting new disciples for the time being."

Just as Wang Xun of Medicine Peak was about to speak, Fei Yan spoke first: "Junior Brother Wang, I heard a few days ago that your Medicine Peak lost quite a few disciples. So when the elders from other peaks came to snatch people away just now, I refused them on behalf of Junior Nephew Luo. I told them that Junior Nephew Luo wanted to go to your Medicine Peak, and that he would not go anywhere else."

Wang Xun was taken aback upon hearing this, and said, "Senior Brother Fei, our Medicine Peak—"

"My name tag is almost ready."

Fei Yan entered the wooden house and said, "Junior Brother Wang, please wait a moment, it will be ready soon."

Wang Xun's facial muscles twitched a few times. Seeing Ren Song's gloating smile beside him, he couldn't help but sigh. He walked to the door of the wooden house and whispered, "Did the other peaks also refuse?"

As Fei Yan engraved the waist tag, he said, "How could that be? This kid is a genius; every peak is vying for him. If it weren't for my liking for you and our kinship, I wouldn't have kept it for you."

Wang Xun looked speechless: "You think I'm easy to bully? If I were to take this kid back, I'm afraid no one would dare to accept him as their personal disciple."

Fei Yan said, "Doesn't your daughter only have five direct disciples? We can give her one more."

Wang Xun glared at him immediately: "It's one thing for you to cheat me, but you'd even cheat your niece? Every time that girl refines a good pill, she gives you the best ones. She's more filial to you than to me. How could you bear to harm her?"

Fei Yan prepared the waist token and handed it to him, saying, "Take this kid back first. I will personally go to Medicine Peak tomorrow."

He then glanced at the silent young man outside and whispered, "That kid is so young. It would be a pity if he went down that path again. We have to find a way to help him. There's no such medicine on the other peaks."

Wang Xun frowned, hesitated for a while, then sighed and accepted the waist token.
