Infiltrating the righteous path? Just another place to be a sycophant.

"Hmm, who is it...? Well, it must be..."

Chapter 221 Do you think I'm lucky enough?

Guo Fengyi seemed to want to say something, but then stopped abruptly, leaving everyone curious.

"Elder Zhu, this question is too private. Could we please not ask it?"

Some people laughed, thinking that given Zhu Yun's personality, how could he possibly let you off the hook? You'd better answer obediently.

"Since you've said that, then there's no problem."

Zhu Yun listened to advice and said she wouldn't ask, leaving everyone else dumbfounded.

"No, you're just saying you won't ask anymore? Is this discrimination?"

"Then why don't you go up and file a complaint? Unless you don't want to stay in this sect anymore."

Upon hearing this answer, the person immediately fell silent.

Who would dare?

"So, which elder do you wish to become a disciple of?"

"Lu An, a disciple of Elder Lu!"

The stone glowed white, and the problem was solved.

No one was surprised by this answer, and some people looked towards Lu An, only to find that Lu An was propping up one cheek and doing something.

Anyone with eyes could see that he was sleeping, but no other elders nearby reminded him, and no one dared to say anything.

After all, in a situation like this, sleeping might not actually be sleeping.

After all, Lu An was just sitting there. Although it looked like he was sleeping, he was definitely not asleep. He was just resting with his eyes closed.

That's how highly skilled people are. You might think they're sleeping, but they're actually always watching and listening. For a powerful cultivator, a simple sweep of their divine sense is enough to see through everything.

How often does your period come?

What is "Aunt Flo"?

The stone emitted a white light, leaving everyone else completely bewildered.

Wait, this answer actually passed? A question about time, and it was answered successfully using a question?

"Alright, you've passed the test. Come and collect your disciple token."

Zhu Yun beckoned Guo Fengyi over, and the two completed the handover, after which Guo Fengyi officially joined the sect.

Xiao Yun was stunned. She had been tricked before, but now she was being asked these same questions.

I want to file a complaint! I want to file a complaint!

I'm going to appeal to the central government! I'm going to appeal to the central government!

The next moment, Lu An felt a barrage of eager gazes surrounding him. Following his senses, he saw several men and women inexplicably flirting with him.

That's right, it includes both men and women.

Some people have already left because they raised red lights and their problems were quite shameless, but they were ultimately eliminated.

After all, not everyone gets a chance.

And by this time, the new disciples also realized that this test was a test of your luck and your shamelessness.

In short, the thicker your skin, the easier it is to answer questions.

Of course, I can't be an undercover agent, lest I get caught immediately.

Take Hao Zhengyi, for example. He couldn't answer the question directly, nor could he deny that he was an undercover agent. He was caught in a dilemma.

"Next is the apprenticeship ceremony. If any of you elders already have someone in mind, then hurry up and recruit people. Choose from the inner disciples first, and then move on to the outer disciples."

As soon as Zhu Yun finished speaking, he quickly flew down and came to the front of several disciples, beginning to put on a profound and unfathomable appearance.

"Would you be willing to follow me and learn the Way?"

"Disciple is willing!"

Without any hesitation, this disciple immediately knelt on the ground, becoming the first person in the entire audience, besides the disciple who had previously revealed Elder Yanran's measurements, to successfully become her disciple.

"I see that you are exceptionally intelligent, and your cultivation method is perfectly suited to my peak. Joining my sect will surely lead to a bright future. Are you willing?"

"This disciple is willing! This disciple is willing! Master, please accept me as your disciple!"

The disciple knelt on the ground and performed a full bow, showing the utmost respect.

The inner sect elders flew down one after another and began recruiting their favorite disciples. Although one's own wishes were important, whether the elders were willing to accept them was also very important.

After all, if no one wants him, he can only settle for the outer sect or become an ordinary disciple without a direct master.

This sect assessment only recruits those with ability; ordinary disciples without ability are not needed to serve as judges or spectators.

The Yuantian Sacred Sect has a total of nine peaks, but if you include Lu An, that makes ten peaks.

There are naturally nine elders. Of course, only inner sect elders can have their own independent mountain peak; outer sect elders do not.

Of course, this peak didn't appear out of thin air; it was left over from before. According to Lu An's inquiries, the Yuan Tian Sacred Sect originally had twenty-four peaks.

If you ask where they all went, they either perished and no one was there to fill the gaps, or they switched sides and ran away. Because Yuan Tian Sheng Zong wasn't the number one righteous sect before, quite a few people went to work for other sects.

Moreover, the job market back then wasn't as competitive as it is now.

The reason why Yuan Tian Sheng Zong is now the number one righteous sect is simply because they are good at hiding. After all, all the sects that are more powerful than them have died out, so aren't they the most powerful sect?

Thinking about the Heavenly Demon Sect, it seems to have ten peaks. Which one am I, counting myself?

Oh, I don't have a peak in the Heavenly Demon Sect, that's my master's peak, I'm just taking advantage of my master.

"Elder Lu, aren't you planning to take on two disciples?"

Seeing that Lu An seemed to be about to go back, Yu Wanqing stopped him and asked.

Just then, someone stepped forward and knelt down; that was Xiao Yun.

"Elder Lu, no... Master, please accept my bow!"

Xiao Yun immediately knelt down and performed a grand salute, leaving Lu An completely bewildered.

It has to be you guys!

Snapped!

A figure knelt before Lu An like a thunderbolt; it was Guo Fengyi.

Although he seemed arrogant, he didn't hesitate at all when he knelt down.

"Master, please accept my disciple's greetings!"

In a flash, two people knelt before him, leaving Lu An completely bewildered.

Wasn't it supposed to be a voluntary apprenticeship? Why are they all vying to have him take them on as apprentices now?

The most miserable one is Li Zhenchun of Tianjian Peak. He really can't understand it now. He clearly had his eye on two disciples who were born with sword talents, so why did they take the initiative to become disciples of others?

He had just gotten up from his seat, thinking of extending an invitation to them.

An unnamed rage instantly rose within him. How dare he try to steal his disciple? Although he knew that Lu An's swordsmanship was not weak, Tianjian Peak had a long-standing reputation and a legacy spanning generations. How many people who wanted to practice swordsmanship were actually here for Tianjian Peak?

He himself once defeated fourteen self-proclaimed invincible sword demons from various major demonic sects; this feat was no exaggeration.

"Sorry, I don't accept disciples."

"Or perhaps, none of you have met my requirements for becoming an apprentice."

Lu An said coldly.

A vague refusal might only embolden them, so a direct approach is better.

"Elder Lu, both of you are born with sword hearts and possess extraordinary top-grade sword spirit roots. Why not accept them?"

"Yes, all the ways of the world, in essence, lead to the same goal. If you have the talent, what is there that you can't learn?"

Lu An thought to himself, "You really can't learn it, because I don't know it either. I can't just teach you the Supreme Yuan Gong and then say that my techniques are all just tricks. The most important thing is to have a strong aura outside. Whether you can fight or not is not important, right?"

This is my trump card, and it must never be known to anyone. Anyone who finds out must be silenced by any means necessary.

Who else besides myself would know that I know this skill?

Then it must be his master, Li Podao. So, according to this idea, shouldn't he kill his master, Li Podao?

He himself was startled by the idea.

He actually wanted to kill his master. Has his true nature remained unchanged since he joined the Heavenly Demon Sect?

Thinking about it, the martial arts I practiced were quite varied, including Taishang Yuangong, Tianmogong, and Haoran Zhengqigong.

It's just a hodgepodge.

"My technique is very unique; ordinary people simply cannot learn it."

"It's not something an ordinary person can learn; only those with the right affinity can master it!"

Lu An wore a mysterious expression, indicating that they couldn't learn his techniques.

"A destined person? Elder Lu, look here!"

Guo Fengyi rolled her eyes, then took out a bag and stuffed it into Lu An's hand.

Lu An opened a small opening and saw that it was immediately illuminated by dazzling, multicolored light, which made Lu An's face instantly become a kaleidoscope of colors.

Xiao Yun was completely stunned. How could he not know what was in that bag?

"Elder Lu, am I destined to be here?"

"I wasn't referring to Yuan..."

Chapter 222 On the Issue of Baldness

The elders nearby were also stunned; this was the first time they had ever seen someone so openly and honestly giving gifts.

"It would be vulgar for us cultivators to talk about such things."

Lu An considered returning the items, since he wasn't short of spirit stones, given his stable income as an elder.

But before he could say another word, Xiao Yun beside him roared, "This is against the rules! How could you do this? You have no sense of social etiquette at all!"

"They're just some pretty stones, worthless. What are you thinking?" Guo Fengyi tied the bag containing the spirit stones and placed it in Lu An's hands, saying, "Elder Lu, please don't worry about them. They're just some worthless trinkets, definitely not spirit stones! Definitely not spirit stones!"

The two were having a heated discussion, but Lu An remained silent.

You young man, you're not as worldly-wise as that young lady! You're really no good! Sigh!

However, as an elder, and with everyone watching, how could I accept this money?

We don't need the money, we won't accept it anymore.

"Take these things back. I, Lu An, am not that kind of person. I am not someone who can be swayed by money!"

Lu An waved his hand, looking down on money... no, spirit stones as if they were dirt, which drew admiration from those around him.

"As expected of Elder Lu, not only is his cultivation profound, but his character is also excellent."

"Don't you think about it? He's already a powerful cultivator at the Tribulation Transcending stage. How could he possibly care about such trivial things? The inner core of a Tribulation Transcending stage demon beast he kills has far greater spiritual energy and effects than these things!"

"So, thinking you can impress Elder Lu with these things is simply wishful thinking!"

That's how it is in the cultivation world, especially for major sects like Yuan Tian Sheng Zong. It's very difficult to come up with something that can impress the inner sect elders. Even aristocratic families with great wealth can't offer anything truly outstanding.

It's not that the items aren't of high enough quality, but rather that people don't need them. Especially when cultivating to the Tribulation Transcending stage, each level requires a large amount of spiritual energy to break through, but the shackles that prevent breakthroughs to the next level are often not spiritual energy.

Of course, if you give it to the elders of small or medium-sized sects, they will naturally need it. But if you give it to elders of the Yuan Tian Holy Sect, it will be very difficult.

It all boils down to this: these elders have plenty of talent and look down on people like you.

When it comes to cultivation families, the Yuan Tian Holy Sect has no shortage of them, since everyone is scrambling to get in. However, there aren't as many people with connections here as you might imagine.

As an elder once said: "So what if you come from a noble family? Aren't you still a waste? What are you doing here? Your parents are at the Tribulation Transcending stage, what does that have to do with you not even being able to establish your foundation?"

"If you're so capable, then tell your parents to take you, this piece of trash, with them when they ascend to the Immortal Realm. Heaven doesn't care about human relationships."

Cultivation is fair to everyone, yet it is also unfair; that's just how it is.

"I don't care, Elder Lu, you must accept me!"
