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

Guo Fengyi started throwing a tantrum, even grabbing Lu An's clothes and trousers, begging and pleading to become his disciple, which made the elders nearby feel ashamed.

Fortunately, there are many things that are even more shameless than this; this is considered normal.

"Becoming a disciple is a matter of fate, and cannot be forced. This disciple, please do not force it! Do not force it!"

"A forced relationship may not be sweet, but at least you'll get something to eat! Elder Lu, I've made up my mind about you!"

Guo Fengyi's eyes were full of determination, as if she really had no choice but to become Lu An's disciple.

Xiao Yun was also stunned. He hadn't expected Guo Fengyi to be so assertive, as if she was determined to become Elder Lu's disciple.

"We are not destined to be together, so there is no need to force it. Doing so will only backfire. Besides, if you want to learn swordsmanship, I think Elder Li of Tianjian Peak is a good choice."

Upon hearing what Lu An said, Elder Li, who had been sulking, suddenly became arrogant.

Especially when Guo Fengyi and Xiao Yun focused their attention on him, he straightened his back and nodded with a smile.

A gust of wind blew by, and Elder Li's head instantly became incredibly bright, as if holy light was gathering on his head.

At the same time, a small black object gently floated to the ground.

"Old Li, your hair!"

Elder Zhang from the Spirit Food Hall kindly picked up the hair that had fallen to the ground and handed it to Elder Li. Elder Li took the hair with a moment of embarrassment and quickly put it back on his head.

His black hair covered his head, the light disappeared, and Elder Li returned to his handsome and dashing appearance.

"These are old wounds from before, please excuse the poor quality."

Li Zhenchun gave an awkward smile, and the other disciples smiled in response, not daring to say anything.

"Excuse me, senior brother, could you tell me what kind of old injury Elder Li has?"

"You don't know? Oh, you're a beginner. Elder Li once fought a duel with someone, and the person couldn't beat Elder Li, so he used a treacherous and poisonous trick."

"What kind of vicious trick?"

"The sword was coated with a deadly poison. The intention was to cut off Elder Li's head, but Elder Li happened to be bending down to button his clothes, so the sword was shaved off, along with his scalp."

"Then, in order to cure the poison, Elder Li directly sought help from our Lingyi Hall. The poison was cured, but the hair stopped growing on it."

"Why is that, Senior Brother?"

"This poison is extremely potent. According to rumors, even though Elder Li is highly skilled and powerful, it will weaken his lower body and cause great harm to his marital life at the time."

Upon hearing this, everyone gasped in surprise, not expecting it to be like this.

"Really? Senior brother?"

"really!"

"And then? Senior brother?"

"Want to hear more? Give me a spirit stone and I'll continue."

This senior student immediately became interested because he sensed a business opportunity.

Da da da!

"Is that enough, senior brother?"

"Enough is enough."

"If that's enough, then hurry up and say it."

Instantly, this senior brother had dozens of spirit stones in his hand, and someone urged him to speak quickly.

"At that time, the elder of the Spiritual Medicine Hall used a lot of spiritual medicine to cure him, and because there were very rare ingredients in the spiritual medicine, his cultivation level even broke through."

"So what does that have to do with him being bald?"

Everyone was incredibly surprised, but also became increasingly curious.

"The medicine has side effects. The downside is that it made him bald. No matter what he did, hair wouldn't grow back in that area. Even after breaking through from the Void Refining stage to the Tribulation Transcending stage, it was still the same. So there was really no way to help him. Although he became stronger, he also went bald."

Everyone immediately understood what was going on; so that's how it was.

"You two seem to be having a good chat, Zhao Ziyuan. Have you finished practicing your swordsmanship? Or have you finished practicing your inner cultivation technique? Or has your swordsmanship reached the Spirit Soul Realm, and you're here telling stories to your junior brothers and sisters?"

A cold voice came from behind the group of disciples. When they turned around, they saw Elder Li, who was filled with murderous aura.

At this moment, he stood behind everyone like a god of death, and even the slightest hint of his killing intent made everyone tremble with fear.

"Master...Master...not yet..."

"Not yet? Then you don't need to practice anymore. Your master will personally give you extra training!"

Chapter 223 I've Got You

The sounds of being beaten echoed, followed by a series of loud cracking noises. A man, his face bruised and swollen, was dragged away by people dressed in Tianjian Peak uniforms, his clothes torn with several holes.

“Drag him back to the peak, and once he has recovered, I will properly train him.”

Elder Li snorted coldly, and none of the others dared to disobey.

The other disciples couldn't help but mourn as well, for the real nightmare would begin after they recovered.

"I wish you a speedy recovery."

This was a blessing from a disciple to his senior brother Zhao Ziyuan. Upon hearing this, Zhao Ziyuan nearly fainted.

Is your wish for a speedy recovery so you can attend his funeral soon?

"Elder Lu, I have spirit stones too! Look at me! Look at me!"

Xiao Yun also rushed to offer spirit stones, which made Lu An shake his head.

These young people, how come they don't understand anything about social etiquette?! Even if he wanted to accept it, he couldn't.

Therefore, Lu An refused the spirit stones without further explanation.

"Sorry, I don't accept apprentices."

Lu An wanted to call for someone to separate them, but looking around, he realized he didn't know who to call.

These are all other people's apprentices; they might not listen to you.

My own cultivation level isn't high enough, so I can't just blast people away like that, can I?

They haven't reached the point where a mere flick of the wrist can send someone flying.

"Elder Lu, it's not that you don't want to take on disciples, but rather that they haven't met your requirements yet, right?"

A clear, cold voice rang out, and then a slender figure stepped out from the crowd. Lu An looked up and realized that this was the woman he had dreamed of killing the person who looked like him.

It's that guy who had a wedding night with someone who looked a lot like him, and then cried and killed himself.

When Lu An saw her, he was reminded of the scene back then. She really had a double standard, killing someone and then crying at their grave.

"Who are you?"

"Elder Lu didn't notice? This is Xiang Wanqiu, a top-grade ice spirit root, very sought after! Elder Shangguan of Ice Spirit Peak has been wanting her for a long time!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Lu An felt a very malicious gaze. He turned his head and saw a middle-aged woman with resentment in her eyes staring straight at him.

"Didn't notice, no, you could say you did notice. You were the one who reacted the fastest in the illusion, weren't you? That's really good."

It's nothing, so what if I offended someone? Lu An has offended plenty of people.

"Thank you for the compliment, Elder Lu. I was just showing off a little bit of my cleverness."

Xiang Wanqiu said calmly.

However, Lu Anlao felt that Xiang Wanqiu looked like someone, but he couldn't figure out who it was.

It feels so familiar, but I just can't remember who it is.

It was as if a layer of mist was shrouding his perception, making him see clearly yet not understand.

"If you want to become Elder Lu's disciple, you must have something special, am I right, Elder Lu?"

"No matter who you are, I will not accept you as a disciple. I, Lu An, mean what I say..."

However, Xiang Wanqiu immediately pulled something out of her bosom, instantly stopping Lu An in his tracks.

It was a jade pendant, pure white and transparent, except for a red stain in the center, which looked as bright and eye-catching as fresh blood.

Upon seeing the jade pendant, Lu An's expression shifted from surprise to horror, but he quickly regained his composure.

"A jade pendant with some spiritual energy? Do you think Elder Lu is some ordinary mortal? That he would accept something like this? You are sorely mistaken..."

Guo Fengyi looked mocking. In her opinion, "I've already managed to keep Lu An from giving in, and you still expect me to? Are you kidding me?"

"What do you want to do, disciple..."

Lu An didn't know how to address him, so he could only call him disciple.

"I wish to become Elder Lu's disciple and follow in his footsteps. Is that possible?"

"Okay, I approve!"

Lu An gave an unexpected answer, granting Xiang Wanqiu's request immediately.

Not only Guo Fengyi and Xiao Yun, but even Yu Wanqing next to them was dumbfounded. She thought Lu An would keep going, but this was the result.

What's going on? They actually agreed.

After Lu An agreed, he looked at the jade pendant in his hand and asked, "Who did you get this jade pendant from?"

"Given by an old friend."

"What old friend? What's your relationship with them?"

"There is some connection, but it's a matter of personal privacy, so I can't say too much."

So Lu An stopped asking.

But he had already figured out what it meant.

The waters behind this are a bit deep, I can't say for sure right now, but that's roughly the gist of it.

However, the others listened very carefully, and Guo Fengyi and Xiao Yun, who were standing nearby, were even more furious after hearing it.

They claim there's no inside story, but this is blatant backdoor dealing! They just slipped a jade pendant in and asked if the person was an old acquaintance, and then accepted them. Who says the Yuan Tian Sheng Sect's disciple recruitment is always fair? It's all rigged!

"Elder Lu, that's not very fair of you. You're accepting a disciple like this, and the disciple doesn't even practice swordsmanship. You just accept him because of a jade pendant. Isn't that just using connections?"

The one who spoke was Elder Shangguan. She walked over angrily and looked quite upset.

It was someone I had my eye on, but now they've been taken away. Even though it was the disciple's own wish, it's still quite upsetting.

Already in a bad mood due to her period, she finally couldn't help but ask a question.

Aren't you practicing swordsmanship?

"I don't practice swordsmanship? Of course I do."

After saying that, Xiang Wanqiu stood up and condensed an ice sword in her hand. Then she thrust it towards the sky, and an extremely domineering sword aura, which was not at all like something a woman could wield, pointed straight at the sky.

A white cloud was suddenly sliced ​​open by the rushing sword energy. Even some of the newly initiated disciples of Heavenly Sword Peak could not achieve such a feat.

Elder Shangguan fell silent upon seeing this scene. She hadn't expected that such a person would also know how to use a sword.

Does this even make sense? Does this even have any legal basis?

So she had no choice but to back down. After all, she was already this age; could she still act as unreasonably as when she was young?

Not to mention that those elders who should have gone into seclusion have already gone into seclusion, those who should have retired have retired, and those who should have been struck by lightning have already been struck by lightning. Even if they were still alive, she wouldn't dare to offend this great god.

"Elder Lu, are you really not going to consider me?"

Guo Fengyi said with a hint of sourness; she was clearly jealous.

Although Xiao Yun, who was standing next to her, also felt a little envious, she was still quite happy to see Guo Fengyi's discomfiture.

He's happy when she's not good enough, even though he himself wasn't taken in by Elder Lu. Otherwise, he would be even more arrogant, hahaha!

"We are not meant to be, why force it? You should leave now."

Lu An waved his hand, indicating his regret as he left.

Chapter 224 Move Around a Little More, I'm Your Pet!

After persuading the disciples to leave, Lu An returned to the mountain peak. However, before he left, the crowd was in a state of high spirits.
