13: Reward: The Seal of the Human Emperor!

Lin Ye froze in place.

It wasn't because he was stunned by the woman's appearance, but because he simply didn't know how to speak.

He had only been in the Righteous Qi Sect for less than half an hour.

In such a short time, how could he know the internal issues of the Sect?

Furthermore, these Elders were definitely all powerful cultivators, and there was also a Saint who wanted to take him as a Disciple.

He simply didn't know how to choose.

As a Son of Destiny, could mere beauty sway him? What a joke.

Just as Lin Ye was in a dilemma, the Saint spoke: "Lin Ye, Madam Miao is my Senior Sister, which means her cultivation and status are both higher than mine. If she is willing to accept you, then become her Disciple."

This time, although the Elders' eyes showed unwillingness, none of them spoke to object.

One must know that when the Saint said he wanted to take a Disciple just now, they were all willing to fight for it.

But as soon as Madam Miao appeared, they all quieted down, which showed her status within the Sect.

Beauty, cultivation, and strength all in one person. If Lin Ye still didn't know who to become a Disciple of, he would be an idiot.

Thinking of this, Lin Ye bowed deeply to Madam Miao: "Revered Master above, please accept this Disciple's bow."

A fragrant scent wafted over.

A jade hand gently helped Lin Ye up. Madam Miao chuckled: "Little fellow, there's no need for such formality. You are the first Disciple I've taken, so just be casual."

"Yes."

Because Lin Ye's mother disappeared when he was young, coupled with being an orphan in his previous life, Madam Miao's every smile and frown made him feel a sense of maternal care.

This was also one of the reasons why Lin Ye chose to become her Disciple.

Seeing that there was no hope of taking him as a Disciple, the Elders were not discouraged. After all, their Holy Land was about to produce a top-tier Prodigy!

Just at this moment, the Saint spoke again: "Lin Ye, you are currently at the Golden Core stage. For a young man who has never joined a Sect, your cultivation is already very strong, but for some Core Disciples, your cultivation is not enough."

"The Holy Son Grand Competition of our Sect is in a month. Although I really want to make you a Saint, that would certainly not convince the masses and would also affect you. So, I will now make you a Holy Son Candidate, which is a Sequence Disciple."

"If you want a higher position, you must earn it with your own strength!"

"Yes! Thank you, Sect Master!"

When the Holy Son Grand Competition was mentioned, Lin Ye knew that, according to the usual tropes, that would be his moment to shine!

A month's time was definitely enough. Not to mention the System, just the beautiful Revered Master he had just taken would surely be able to provide some assistance.

And that ring... gently stroking the ring on his finger, Lin Ye felt a bit speechless.

It had consumed so much of his spiritual power; under normal circumstances, it should have awakened by now!

Even if you're not an old man in the ring, an old woman would do.

What do you mean by not waking up?

Ding-dong... Sign in successful at Righteous Qi Sect.

Congratulations to the host for receiving the Sign in reward.

Congratulations to the host for obtaining the Human Emperor Seal.

Congratulations to the host for obtaining 100 exquisite cheongsams (large size, definitely enough).

Congratulations to the host for obtaining 12 Earth-Grade Spirit Sword.

Congratulations to the host for obtaining one year of cultivation... Hearing the rewards given by the System, Lin Ye was once again speechless.

You expanded the Sign in System, the Human Emperor Seal, Earth-Grade Ling Jian, and cultivation, I can all understand, but what do those exquisite cheongsams mean?

Do I wear them, or does the Saint wear them, or does my Revered Master... Hmm, it doesn't seem impossible.

"Little fellow, come with me."

While Lin Ye was still pondering, that intellectual voice sounded again.

Madam Miao looked at her newly accepted Disciple with a charming smile.

It seemed that life would be very interesting from now on.

"Yes, Revered Master."

Accompanied by a gentle breeze, Lin Ye and Madam Miao's figures disappeared from the main hall.

And the originally bright hall seemed a bit dim at this moment.

Those supposedly "Righteous Path individuals" who were previously sanctimonious let out cackling sounds.

"Hehehe, Saint, I think we must find the person who dug out the Dao Bone. Lin Ye already has the Innate Demon Body, plus the Dao Bone. In the Great Era Competition, we will definitely be among the forefront."

"Exactly! If we really can't find it, I'll go find someone with a Dao Bone and dig it out for Lin!"

"Dao Bone, Demon Body. Why don't we try to install other parts for the future Saint? More Physiques, more paths!"

"Hmm! You're right. I'll go find those with special Physiques now! Capture them for Lin!"

"..."

Listening to the Elders' schemes, the Saint frowned and pondered for a moment, then said coldly: "Immediately send people to investigate Yu City, where Lin Ye is from, and the nearby Sects."

"Perhaps this Dao Bone was dug out by those idiots. Coincidentally, we can help Lin Ye get revenge and also retrieve the Dao Bone!"

"Even if we have to turn that place upside down, we must investigate the matter thoroughly!"

"Yes!"

Hearing the Saint's words, the Elders also began to act.

The Sects near a remote small city would definitely be small fries. A casual move could make them vanish into thin air.

As for whether it would provoke public outrage, what a joke, they were the Demon Sect, what public outrage were they afraid of...

On the other side, Lin Ye was enveloped in a gentle breeze. When he opened his eyes again, he had already arrived at a secluded mountain peak.

There were a few elegant characters on a wooden sign.

Qingyou Peak.

This mountain peak should be one of the thousands of mountain peaks in the Righteous Qi Sect's Holy Land.

However, although there was abundant spiritual energy here, there was no feeling of cultivation at all.

Qingyou Peak, as its name suggested, was extremely quiet, so quiet that there were not even Spirit Beasts.

The entire mountain peak had nothing but a wooden house not far away.

Seeing Lin Ye constantly observing his surroundings, Madam Miao gently asked: "What's wrong? Are you disappointed? There's nothing here except you and me."

Hearing this, Lin Ye quickly said: "How could I be? I was just thinking, there isn't even a single Spirit Beast here. Don't you get lonely on weekdays, Revered Master?"

"Lonely..."

Madam Miao looked at Lin Ye in confusion, then smiled gently after a moment: "You little fellow, you're teasing your Revered Master. If a cultivator cannot endure loneliness, how can they ascend the Great Dao?"

"Moreover, from what you said, your childhood must have been very lonely, too, right?"

Indeed.

Ever since Lin Ye's cultivation regressed, he had experienced firsthand what it meant to feel the coldness of human nature.

Before, everyone would practically lick his shoes, but once his Genius reputation disappeared, all those who used to fawn over him avoided him like the plague.

"Not at all, I got used to it over time. Oh, by the way, Revered Master!"

Lin Ye clearly didn't want to dwell on this topic.

He quickly changed the subject: "There's only one house here. Where do we sleep tonight?"

"Hmm?"
