Be gentle and set an example

Tong Youwei’s face stiffened.

His eyes held too many emotions that were hard to describe.

There was the joy and shock of seeing an idol.

There was also a serious lack of understanding of their actions.

At this moment, he even wondered if he was deaf and blind, seeing and hearing things incorrectly.

He rubbed his eyes repeatedly.

Finally, he confirmed that he hadn't seen wrong.

This was indeed his former idol, a Holy Land Elder, an existence at the pinnacle of the Eastern Domain Alchemist world.

After a long while, he suppressed the shock in his heart.

He asked with an incredulous expression.

“Seniors, what did you just say? I didn’t hear clearly, could you please repeat it?”

He had expected the two of them to fly into a rage.

After all, what was their status?

What was his status?

Plus, Shi Xiaotian was famously bad-tempered.

His moods were unpredictable.

Tong Youwei had even prepared himself for a storm.

However, Wu Yue and Shi Xiaotian’s attitudes were quite amiable.

“Elder, I am Wu Yue, seven hundred and forty-three years old this year. We two have now officially joined Mufu Peak, becoming Outer Sect Disciples of Mufu Peak. We hope the Elder will register us.”

“Elder, I am Shi Xiaotian, seven hundred and twenty-one years old this year. We two have now officially joined Mufu Peak, becoming Outer Sect Disciples of Mufu Peak. We hope the Elder will register us.”

The two spoke in unison.

Tong Youwei, having received confirmation again, was completely stunned.

He hadn't misheard.

The appearances matched, and the names matched.

But, a dignified Holy Land Elder, a leading authority in the Alchemy world.

Actually came to Immortal River Sect to register as an Outer Sect Disciple.

Why was this?

While shocked, he asked himself a hundred thousand whys.

Moreover, the attitudes of these two were not as irritable as rumored; they were quite amiable.

“Two… two, please wait!”

This matter was too preposterous, like something out of a fantasy.

Tong Youwei felt that such figures were beyond his ability to receive.

He had to report it immediately.

And it had to be reported to the Sect Master.

“Elder, please feel free.”

Tong Youwei’s attitude was very polite.

But Wu Yue and Shi Xiaotian were even more polite.

…

On this side, Wu Yue and Shi Xiaotian were patiently waiting in the Notetaking Pavilion.

On the other side, Tong Youwei used the fastest speed of his life, rushing straight to Xianjiang Grand Hall like sparks and lightning!

He, who was originally somewhat stooped and limping, now had an unbent waist and no limp.

Within the Sect!

Some Disciples who were Cultivating suddenly felt something whiz past them.

“What was that?”

The speed was so fast, it left afterimages.

Between the afterimages, there were also some sparks.

That was caused by the extreme speed and the violent friction with the Void Realm.

This left the Disciples dumbfounded.

“It looks like… a person?!”

“May I ask which Senior of the Sect possesses such astonishing speed?”

“This, what kind of Heaven-Defying Cultivation Technique is this?”

The Disciples discussed animatedly.

“If I’m not mistaken, that looks like Elder Tong Youwei of Pill Refinement Peak?”

Someone said in surprise.

“Impossible, absolutely impossible!”

As soon as this was said, it instantly triggered a series of denials.

They knew that Elder Tong Youwei had a chronic leg ailment, so his speed was never fast.

How could someone with a leg ailment possess such astonishing speed?

The reactions of the crowd made the Disciple who recognized Tong Youwei lose his confidence.

“Maybe… I saw wrong!”

“What do you mean ‘maybe’ you saw wrong, you definitely saw wrong!”

While denying, everyone speculated about which master or strong person in the Sect it could be.

But no matter how they guessed, they couldn't figure out the specific person.

They could only suppress their curiosity and prepare to ask their own masters when they returned.

Soon after, a bizarre scene occurred in Immortal River Sect.

In multiple places simultaneously, the question arose: “Master, does our Sect have a Cultivation Technique that is so fast it can generate sparks?”

This left their masters collectively bewildered.

How did I not know that there was such an amazing Cultivation Technique in the Sect?

…

This was just a small interlude in the daily Cultivation of the Immortal River Sect Disciples.

At this moment, within Xianjiang Grand Hall!

Sect Master Sect Leader Xuan Yuanhong and a group of Immortal River Sect high-ranking officials were currently holding a meeting.

The content of the meeting was the upcoming grand competition for the Disciples of Immortal River Sect’s Seven Peaks.

Just as everyone was discussing heatedly.

Tong Youwei’s figure directly burst into Xianjiang Grand Hall.

“Sect… Sect Master!”

“Elder Tong, you are in such a hurry, is there something wrong?”

“It’s not me talking about you.”

“You are an Elder of a peak, holding a high position and great power.”

“Even if the sky falls, you must remain calm and set an example.”

“Being so rash, what kind of decorum is that?”

Sect Leader Xuan Yuanhong frowned and reprimanded him.

“Sect Master, the two Grand Elders of Limitless Sect, the leading authorities in the Eastern Domain Alchemist world, adults Wu Yue and Shi Xiaotian, want to become Outer Sect Disciples at Mufu Peak. They are currently waiting in the Notetaking Pavilion. Please go and receive them personally!”

“Wha…”

Sect Leader Xuan Yuanhong’s eyes instantly widened, and he shot up from his seat.

The originally noisy hall instantly became silent, so quiet that a pin drop could be heard!

It was a collective loss of voice.

One by one, they rubbed their ears, wondering if they had misheard.

“You… what did you say?”

“Could you please repeat it?”

Someone asked, trembling and stuttering.

Tong Youwei understood their feelings very well.

Because when he first heard it, he had the same reaction.

He immediately repeated it again.

This time, a collective gasp of cold air echoed through the hall.

Sect Leader Xuan Yuanhong, at this moment, realized his impropriety.

He straightened his robes.

Then, pointing at the high-ranking officials with a look of disappointment, he scolded.

“Look at your pitiful aspirations.”

“Look at your pitiful conduct!”

“Aren’t they just two Grand Elders of a Holy Land?”

“That they can join Mufu Peak proves they have good judgment.”

“What’s there to make such a fuss about?”

These words made everyone roll their eyes.

Good heavens.

Who was the first to exclaim earlier?

So, after he was shocked, they weren't allowed to be shocked for a bit?

Isn't this like that?

Only officials are allowed to set fires, but the common people are not allowed to light lamps?

The high-ranking officials strongly condemned and despised Sect Leader Xuan Yuanhong’s behavior in their hearts.

At this moment, Sect Leader Xuan Yuanhong said to Tong Youwei: “You said, those two are currently waiting in the Notetaking Pavilion?”

Tong Youwei nodded blankly.

“Then what are we waiting for? Quickly, follow me to receive them!”

Sect Leader Xuan Yuanhong was anxious. As he spoke, he had already taken the lead, rushing away at full speed.

The high-ranking officials followed closely behind.

As for Tong Youwei, he remained rooted to the spot.

A man well over a hundred years old, he looked somewhat dazed and adorable at this moment.

What he was thinking about was Sect Leader Xuan Yuanhong’s earlier reprimand.

As a high-ranking official, one must pay attention to one’s image.

Being rash, what kind of decorum is that?

Calm and composed, setting an example…

So, this was the Sect Master’s image of leading by example?

He felt there was no difference between him and the Sect Master!
