The sword seller, dressed in red, deserves applause for the prankster.

With his white hair and youthful face, Chong Shuai walked slowly towards the crowd, exuding an air of otherworldly elegance. As he approached, he seemed to be surrounded by clouds and mist, which further enhanced his ethereal aura.

He looked at Chi Miao and said with a smile:

"Chi Miao's status as a personal disciple was a decision I made after discussing it with several elders for a long time."

Senior Brother Qiu Qi was taken aback: "But... Sect Master, there is no precedent for any sect to personally teach its disciples upon entering the sect. This is probably inappropriate."

He wasn't targeting Chi Miao; in fact, he was trying to protect her.

As one of the ten great sects, Nine Swords Mountain is filled with exceptionally talented individuals who will become the pillars of the cultivation world in the future, and thus has always been of great interest to all parties in the cultivation world.

Once this news gets out, Chi Miao will inevitably be noticed by everyone.

Rumors and gossip, foul language, are hard to stop!

This could easily plunge Nine Swords Mountain into a new crisis.

Since it concerns the reputation of the entire Nine Swords Mountain, even though he is only an inner disciple and has little say, he still has to offer some advice.

Chong Shuai simply smiled upon hearing this: "Since there is no precedent, why can't we set one? Her talent and ability are evident to all. Now that she has accumulated merit and drawn the Weeping Sword, it is not impossible for her to become a precedent."

"As for how others will evaluate it in the future, you don't need to worry. You'll all understand in a moment."

The listeners were all bewildered.

You'll understand what it means in a moment.

It was clear that the sect leader did not seem to have changed his mind, and no one said anything more.

Instead, Chi Miao asked curiously, "Could it be that my status as a personal disciple has something special about me?"

Chong Shuai: "You are truly exceptionally intelligent; there is indeed something special about you."

"Wow, I'm almost embarrassed by your praise." Chi Miao flinched for a moment, then her eyes lit up. "So what's so special about me? Is it that I can pick any secret manual from the entire sect? Or that I can choose any weapon and use any resources? Or are you planning to groom me as the next sect leader?"

"Hey, isn't this a bit inappropriate? But if you insist on giving it to me, it's not impossible..."

He said it wasn't good, but his expression clearly showed that he was ready to take over as sect leader.

Chongsu: "..."

Others: "..."

They twitched their lips.

You can use all the resources in the entire clan at will... You really dare to dream.

Do you know how terrifying the resources of Nine Swords Mountain are, as one of the top ten sects?!

Chonglu coughed lightly: "Raise your pillow a little higher when you sleep at night."

Chi Miao: "Is there any particular custom involved?"

Chong Shuai: "Anything can happen in a dream."

Chi Miao: "..."

Excessive!

Is it wrong for her to fantasize a little?

Gou Shi System: "You're not fantasizing, you really think this way."

Chi Miao: "...Shut up!"

They all criticized her, calling her a kind, pitiful, and helpless little girl.

Do you have any humanity?

I'll kill you all!

……

Since the sect leader had personally confirmed Chi Miao's status as a direct disciple, no one was curious anymore.

After all, Chi Miao is a perfect match.

They are now more curious about exactly what makes this so-called "special feature" so special.

One after another, people were selecting peaks, and occasionally one or two peaks would not select a particular disciple, deeming him unsuitable.

There is only one peak, Thunder Punishment Peak.

Yan Ge has a fierce look, but he always raises his sign, as if he wants everyone.

However, Thunder Punishment Peak had a notorious reputation, and some disciples refused to join it even if other peaks did not raise their banners.

"I will not join Thunder Punishment Peak! If no other peak takes a liking to me, I will leave the sect!"

But after all, they had passed three rounds of trials, and it wouldn't be good to make them leave the sect, so in the end someone still accepted them.

Yan Ge was so angry he was about to explode, and he had several outbursts, but he still persisted in raising his sign.

Chi Miao: "How embarrassing!"

Although she didn't know the situation, judging from the current state, Thunder Punishment Peak had absolutely no prestige; anyone who entered the peak would be a disgrace.

Anyway, she absolutely refuses.

Jin Shengfei explained the science to her:

"Thunder Punishment Peak has always been infamous, not because Elder Yan Ge is weak. On the contrary... his strength is even above that of the sect leader. It's just that he has a terrible temper, and Thunder Punishment Peak's conditions and resources are not very good."

"Following this, some rumors that were widely circulated in the cultivation world began to circulate."

Chi Miao: "What rumor?"

Jin Shengfei lowered his voice: "It's hard to say. It's not good to gossip in someone else's house. Just don't choose Lei Fafeng. Whoever does will regret it for the rest of their life."

Chi Miao gave a soft "Oh".

She definitely won't choose that.

Although the purpose of cultivating immortality is to become stronger, she also needs to show off, okay?

She wanted to choose the most prestigious peak, and Yuqing Peak was a good choice.

Soon, it was Jin Shengfei's turn to choose.

Without a doubt, the sect leader and all the elders raised their plaques for Jin Shengfei, and Jin Shengfei chose Yuqing Peak.

For him, Yuqing Peak was indeed the best choice.

Generally, when people raise their plaques at Yuqing Peak, they will choose Yuqing Peak, unless they have a talent and interest in alchemy, weapon crafting, and talisman making.

"Next, Chi Miao!"

As soon as Chi Miao stepped forward, all eyes were on her.

Is that so-called special feature finally about to be revealed?

They were also curious about which peak Chi Miao would choose.

After all, she has a fire spirit root and such strong soul power, so it's no surprise that she will be very talented in alchemy and weapon crafting.

Chi Miao was also thinking about which peak he should enter.

She had read some novels in her previous life, and women with extraordinary abilities like her were extremely sought-after in this aspect.

The elders would even fight each other to take her away, offering exorbitant prices as a lure.

Chi Miao had made up her mind: she would go wherever the benefits were good.

As for Thunder Punishment Peak...

The peak master is too embarrassing; face is more important.

"Let me say this first, please don't fight over me, fellow peak masters. We're all from the same sect, and harmony is the most important thing for a family." Chi Miao said as he stepped forward, making everyone tense.

Indeed, if they were the peak masters, they might be willing to risk everything to snatch a peerless genius like Chi Miao.

Senior Brother Qiu Qi called out, "Peak Masters, please choose."

The words fell.

The elders and sect leaders in front of him all closed their eyes, but Yan Ge stood up.

"..."

"Only Thunder Punishment Peak has the choice."

Everyone, including Chi Miao, was speechless.

What happened to the big fight we were promised?

Seeing this, Chi Miao quickly spoke up: "Are you all tired of standing? If you are, you can just say so. I don't mind. I'm a very easygoing person."

Still, no one spoke.

No, what do you mean?

She's an incredibly powerful woman, so why did Lei Fafeng choose her? Aren't you all going to try and take her away?

She absolutely doesn't want to enter Thunder Punishment Peak; the peak master is too disgraceful!

Chi Miao got impatient: "Hey? Pay attention to me! What's the meaning of not saying anything?"

Yan Ge smiled knowingly and chuckled several times.

"Stop shouting, it's no use shouting until you're hoarse, no one will answer you."

Chi Miao: "A hoarse voice! A hoarse voice!"

Yan Ge: "..."

The fist has hardened!

No, we can't fight. He'll be our disciple soon; we can fight him then.

He forced a smile, his face stiff: "Didn't you want to know what's so special about you? This is what's special—you're the personal disciple that Thunder Punishment Peak has already designated!"

Everyone: "Huh?"

Is that what makes it special?

That's really special!

After hearing this answer, no one envied Chi Miao anymore.

On the contrary, they felt sorry for Chi Miao.

The things that happened at Lei Fa Feng were so bad that even a dog would find them disgusting.

Disciples directly under the emperor's command cannot change peaks, which is equivalent to being locked in for life.

That would be even worse!

Everyone's faces showed the same pity for Chi Miao.

To be honest, Chi Miao was sweating profusely.

What's with those expressions? Is she really that miserable? It can't be that bad, can it?

Since no one offered her any gossip, she had no choice but to pretend she hadn't heard Yan Ge's words:

"Do any of the other peak masters want me? It doesn't have to be a personal disciple! Outer disciples are fine too. You guys are making me really scared!"

"I, Chi Miao, possess unparalleled talent and extraordinary comprehension! I am bathed in the light of merit! I annihilated a Transcendent Realm expert! My crimes are undeserved! Fellow Peak Masters, please say something!"

Ying Wuhuo remained silent after hearing this.

You really dare to say something like "annihilate a powerful figure in the Transcendental Tribulation stage"?
