10: Accept Ye Fojian as his disciple and slap everyone in the face

Jiang Qingchen's words were like a ray of dawn in the darkness, lighting the lamp of morning, giving a glimmer of hope.

His body instinctively trembled slightly, and he looked in the direction of the voice.

But after seeing that the speaker was Jiang Qingchen, the Revered Master of Wudao Peak, his originally bright starry eyes dimmed again.

So, it was him...

This outcome was not what he had hoped for.

Swish, swish, swish...

The surrounding crowd all looked at Jiang Qingchen with confused expressions.

He still dared to accept Ye Fojian as a Disciple?

Was he thick-headed, or did he truly possess ability?

Even Sect Leader Mu Tiannan, who was beside him, couldn't help but frown.

He didn't understand what the point of doing this was. Could it be just to win the bet?

But doing so had absolutely no meaning.

Thinking of this, he still spoke up to remind him. "Martial Nephew Jiang, if you are only trying to win the bet, there's no need. We haven't won anyway, so the bet doesn't count!"

"You don't understand!" Jiang Qingchen shook his head, then ignored him, his gaze falling on Ye Fojian.

"This Revered Master will give you one last chance to choose. Right now, throughout the entire Immortal Seeking Sect, only this Revered Master doesn't mind taking you as a Disciple."

"You can also refuse, but are you willing? I sympathize deeply with everything that has happened to you, but if you're not even willing to try this last chance, then you are destined to be lost among the masses, living your entire life in pain and regret!"

Ye Fojian's body trembled, and he looked up to meet Jiang Qingchen's gaze.

What kind of eyes were those?

They seemed capable of seeing through everything; all secrets were exposed before his eyes!

Deep, confident, like an unfathomable cold pond, giving a profound and mysterious feeling.

Agree or refuse!

Ye Fojian fell into an intense struggle.

Even the crowd was anticipating Ye Fojian's answer!

How would someone like him choose?

Would he agree to the other party, join Wudao Peak, and search for that unlikely opportunity?

Or would he refuse the other party and leave in dejection?

Ye Fojian's gaze remained on Jiang Qingchen. He really wanted to know where the Revered Master of Wudao Peak, with his low Cultivation and excessively young age, got such confidence.

Jiang Qingchen didn't care about his thoughts and spoke again: "Have you decided?"

"Senior, I want to know why you want to accept me as a Disciple. I am already... a cripple!" Ye Fojian's voice was hesitant, trembling slightly, his gaze fixed on Jiang Qingchen.

But Jiang Qingchen did not directly answer his question. He looked at him meaningfully and said, "Everything has Karma. What if I said that I have a connection with you?!"

Everyone saw clearly that although these words carried a hint of showing off, for Ye Fojian, it was also a choice.

Ye Fojian remained silent.

A connection?

Perhaps.

"Disciple Ye Fojian, greets Revered Master!"

He had no choice but to bow to Jiang Qingchen.

Jiang Qingchen smiled.

"You made the correct choice!"

"Alright, since you have joined my Wudao Peak, come back with me!"

As he spoke, he seemed to remember something and turned to Sect Leader Mu Tiannan, saying, "Oh, right, Sect Master, and all the Peak Revered Masters, I won!"

"Remember to have someone send the bet to Wudao Peak for me tomorrow!"

"Fojian, let's go!"

Just as he was leaving, a series of System prompts sounded in his mind, followed by a vast amount of related information.

Ding, congratulations to the host for completing the Disciple acceptance mission!

Congratulations to the host for receiving a luxurious gift package. Would you like to open it?

"Oh, the reward is quite timely, isn't it?"

"But I won't open it for now. I'll wait until I return to Wudao Peak. After all, wealth should not be exposed!"

The corners of his mouth turned up, his smile undisguised. It felt incredibly satisfying to make these old guys lose face.

It made him hum involuntarily.

"Hehehe..."

"Today is truly a good day... a good day..."

System: "..."

...

On Wudao Peak.

Jiang Qingchen lay leisurely on the mountaintop, feeling very comfortable.

At this moment, the Qi around him seemed to have changed, subtly exuding a sharp edge.

He casually glanced at his personal information panel.

Host: Jiang Qingchen.

Cultivation: Nine levels of Body Refinement!

Aptitude: Saint-Grade

Cultivation Technique: Creation Immortal Art (Beginner), Ancient Breath Concealment Technique (Beginner)

Talent: Sword Dao Mastery, Musical Instrument Mastery!

Weapons Used: Profound Yellow Tower (Auxiliary Cultivation Divine Artifact, 9 layers in total, allows people to enter Cultivation), Soul-Devouring Bell (Immortal Saint Weapon, Soul-type treasure)!

"Sigh, still couldn't Breakthrough to Naling Realm. It's too frustrating!"

It was truly exasperating.

The rewards obtained from accepting a Disciple were truly luxurious.

Immortal pan tao tree * 10, Creation Pill * 1, Immortal Saint Weapon Immortal Slaying Sword, Sword Dao Cultivation Technique Mind Sword Art, Movement Divine Ability Void Escape Technique, and Ancient Breath Concealment Technique. He was even directly rewarded with one year of Cultivation, as well as Sword Dao Mastery and Musical Instrument Mastery.

However, this one-year Cultivation reward still didn't allow him to Breakthrough.

He had originally planned to use the Breakthrough Pill, but System Maid said the Breakthrough Pill was useless for him, which angered him so much that he directly threw the Medicinal Pill into a corner to gather dust!

If it's useless, what's the point of having you!

On the other side, after he brought Ye Fojian to Wudao Peak, he did not immediately help Ye Fojian repair his Meridians!

Instead, he had him alone repair and clean the entire dilapidated palace and streets of Wudao Peak, stating that he would help him repair his Meridians only when he completed the task.

Ten days passed in a flash.

The originally old palace had already been completely renovated and cleaned by Ye Fojian in these ten days.

Thump, thump, thump...

As the hammer in Ye Fojian's hand struck the last piece of wood, the entire Wudao Peak was finally completely renovated.

Ye Fojian sat on the eaves of a palace, finally letting out a sigh of relief.

"Whew, it's finally done!"

...

By the cliff.

Noticing the sound of footsteps behind him, Jiang Qingchen slowly opened his eyes and spoke faintly.

"Have all the palaces been renovated?"

Behind him, Ye Fojian stopped. He looked at Jiang Qingchen's figure and always felt that his Revered Master had changed.

In a trance, an absurd thought flashed through his mind.

Could his Revered Master be a hidden peerless mighty expert?

As soon as this thought flashed, it died in its infancy and was rejected by him.

How could a waste, known as the shame of the Sect, be a peerless mighty expert?

"Replying to Revered Master, Disciple has already renovated all the places as per Revered Master's request..."

"Hmm, very good!" Jiang Qingchen turned around and looked at Ye Fojian, who no longer had his previous impetuosity, and was quite satisfied.

"Do you know why I asked you to do these chores like renovating the palace and cleaning up miscellaneous items?"

Ye Fojian froze in place, his expression blank for a moment. He had never thought about this question.

After a few seconds of hesitation, he tried to find other answers in his mind repeatedly, then replied uncertainly.

"Doesn't Revered Master just want me to simply complete the renovation of Wudao Peak?"
