282: Add some water

Everyone else was vying for him, and Lu Xingchen wasn't willing to fall behind.

After all, the more Disciples Lingyuan Peak had, the deeper its foundation would be.

Lu Xingchen showed a warm smile and softly said, "Wang Cheng, are you willing to join my Lingyuan Peak? Besides the conditions they offered, I can also give you an additional sixth-grade elixir."

Hearing this, the other Peak Masters frowned.

This Lu Dazhuang was truly shameless.

The news that Lingyun Sect was going to mass-produce Poji Pills (Extreme Breaking Pills) had already spread, so they naturally knew about it.

It wouldn't be long before all Lingyun Sect Disciples would receive them first.

Lu Dazhuang actually used this as a condition; wasn't he deceiving the new Disciples?

But they truly had nothing to say, because Disciples from other peaks would have to wait one or two months to get a poji pill, and only he currently had this Medicinal Pill in his hand.

Seeing Lu Xingchen step on all the other Peak Masters, the other Peak Masters became displeased and began to raise their conditions.

For a moment, the scene was somewhat comical.

The nine Peak Masters engaged in a scramble, pulling and trampling each other, almost to the point of drawing swords.

However, they still had a sense of propriety, maintaining a steady speaking pace and not getting red-faced or agitated, thus preserving the dignity of Lingyun Sect.

After careful consideration, Wang Cheng still chose to enter Spirit Formation Peak.

He bowed to Li Changbai and solemnly said, "Junior wants to follow Peak Master Li to learn the art of Spirit Formations and become a Great Master of Spirit Formations. I hope Peak Master Li will not hesitate to teach me!"

Li Changbai chuckled, "Your eyesight is quite good, young man. Spirit Array Masters have a lot of potential. Even the foundation of our Lingyun Sect, that Eighth-Grade Spirit Gathering Array, was constructed by the Old Sect Master in his capacity as an Eighth-Grade Spirit Formation Master."

"Stand behind me! From now on, I will wholeheartedly guide you."

"Yes, sir!"

Wang Cheng walked behind Li Changbai.

The recruitment assessment continued.

The new Disciples who remained all had some abilities, and many passed the test.

Among them, there were even three quite impressive ones who didn't passively defend but actively condensed their Soul Power to attack the Elder responsible for the test, almost taking him down.

There was also one who was the most impressive; his Soul Power had already reached the Spirit Realm Middle Stage, allowing him to easily defeat the Elder who had suppressed his Soul Realm.

The most impressive new Disciple was named Mu Bai. After he displayed his strength, all nine Peak Masters frantically vied for him.

Then, before everyone could determine a winner, Sect Master Liu Ruyan announced that she would take Mu Bai as her Personal Disciple and personally instruct him.

Besides the Old Sect Master, Liu Ruyan was the strongest and held the highest position in Lingyun Sect. Who would dare to compete with her?

Half a day passed like this.

There were only dozens of new Disciples waiting below the stage, and eight of the nine Peak Masters had successfully recruited talented Disciples.

Lu Xingchen was the remaining one.

He had not a single new Disciple behind him.

"Word Spirit, Wind Whisper!"

Lu Xingchen murmured, activating this Word Spirit, and his hearing greatly improved.

He wanted to hear why these new Disciples were unwilling to choose him.

Lu Xingchen's predicament was also noticed by the new Disciples below the stage, and everyone began to discuss it.

"Oh my heavens, this Peak Master of Lingyuan Peak is too pitiful; he hasn't recruited a single Disciple!"

"That's normal. I investigated Lingyun Sect's information beforehand. This Peak Master of Lingyuan Peak is named Lu Dazhuang, the fourth Personal Disciple taken by the Old Sect Master three years ago, and he just returned to Lingyun Sect half a month ago."

"This Lu Dazhuang is only 20 years old, not even as old as us. What ability does he have to be a Peak Master? Sect Master probably made him a Peak Master to hone his management skills. But we only live once; who wants to waste time being his whetstone?"

"Exactly! Exactly! To be favored by the Old Sect Master, Lu Dazhuang's talent must be very high, but he is too young after all. He still has opportunities to grow, but we can't be expected to help him grow, can we?"

Hearing these words, Lu Xingchen sighed softly.

It seems his prestige in Lingyun Sect wasn't enough, not even to command these new Disciples.

But it doesn't matter.

In Tianyuan Continent, strength is revered. It won't be long before he gets the chance to prove his strength!

But for now, Lu Xingchen still hoped that some clueless new Disciple would take a liking to him.

The Soul Realm of the Peak Masters present had all reached Spirit Realm Great Perfection, so even without using "Wind Whisper," they could hear the conversations of the new Disciples below the stage.

Their gazes towards Lu Xingchen held a hint of amusement.

Only Xu Qing, with her straightforward nature, jumped off her seat, walked up to Lu Xingchen, patted his shoulder, and said with a smile, "Junior Brother, don't be sad. Although your strength is insufficient and your prestige is lacking, I believe there will still be Disciples willing to choose you. Even if you don't recruit a single Disciple, it's not your fault."

Lu Xingchen forced a smile and said, "Third Senior Sister, you really know how to comfort people! Alright, you should go back. I have a strong capacity for endurance; I'll be fine."

Xu Qing nodded slightly and softly said, "That's good. As long as you bravely be yourself, there will always be Disciples willing to choose you. Senior Sister believes that you will eventually have your head fall, oh no, you will eventually make a name for yourself!"

With that, Xu Qing skipped back to her seat.

Lu Xingchen shook his head slightly.

His Third Senior Sister really knew how to talk.

She probably spent too much time on Alchemy and too little time interacting with others, which led to her low emotional intelligence and blunt way of speaking.

Just then, a woman in an ice-blue long dress walked onto the arena.

She bowed to Li Jia and softly said, "Junior Mu Ruxue, please enlighten me, Elder."

Li Jia smiled and said, "What a beautiful girl! I hope you can pass the test and become a beautiful sight in our Lingyun Sect."

Mu Ruxue softly said, "Then, seeing as I'm so beautiful, Elder Li Jia, can you go easy on me?"

Hearing this, Li Jia's heart tightened.

This little girl truly didn't know the immensity of heaven and earth!

The Sect Master's Soul Power had already broken through to the Heaven Realm. She could hear everything happening at the entire Mountain Gate, including their conversation.

Under such circumstances, who would dare to cheat?

Li Jia's expression darkened, and his voice became more serious: "Our Lingyun Sect's recruitment assessment has always been fair and just. Mu Ruxue, if you make such remarks again, I will immediately disqualify you!"

Hearing this, Mu Ruxue's expression changed, and a hint of bitterness appeared on her face. She then nodded heavily and softly said, "This Junior was presumptuous; I am truly sorry! Please, Elder Li Jia, just proceed as normal!"

Li Jia nodded slightly: "Alright, get ready!"

With that, Li Jia waved to Li Yi, who was serving as the referee.

Li Yi struck the iron bell, and the Timing started.

Mu Ruxue immediately activated her Soul Power.

But to everyone's surprise, her Soul Power was only at Mortal Realm Great Perfection; she had not broken through to the Spirit Realm at all.
