I'll just randomly pick two outer disciples to participate.

This day, in particular, was exceptionally lively for the Immortal River Sect.

Many Disciples watched as Sect Master Sect Leader Xuan Yuanhong led a group of high-ranking officials to the Notetaking Pavilion, where they stayed for a long time, leading to various speculations about what had happened.

“Did the Immortal River Sect recruit a Heaven-Defying Disciple with astonishing Aptitude? It’s enough to cause such a commotion among the Sect’s higher-ups.”

Someone asked, puzzled.

Then, a well-informed individual said mysteriously,

“Just two Outer Sect Disciples!”

“But these two Disciples are a bit special.”

These words further piqued everyone’s curiosity.

“What’s so special about them?”

“These two Disciples are a bit old, and their qualifications are a bit deep!”

“Uh…”

Someone was silenced on the spot.

Since when did being old and having deep qualifications become a standard for Sect recruitment?

And it even caused a stir among the Sect’s high-ranking officials.

Amidst everyone’s puzzled or curious gazes,

The well-informed individual didn’t keep them in suspense but revealed a shocking piece of news.

“These two are Holy Land Elders, renowned figures in the Eastern Region’s Alchemy world, like Mount Tai and the Big Dipper.”

“Boom…”

This was truly a case of one stone causing a thousand ripples.

This news was like a thunderclap, making the Disciples’ scalps tingle and leaving them utterly bewildered.

“You, you… you didn’t say it wrong, did you?!”

“A dignified Holy Land Elder, coming to our Immortal River Sect to be an Outer Sect Disciple?”

“When did our Sect become so formidable?”

Someone stammered, their face full of disbelief.

“I wonder which peak those two joined?”

After the shock, some Disciples instantly became excited.

If they were on the same peak, wouldn’t everyone be able to call each other Senior Brother from now on?

With this connection, they felt that they would be able to straighten their backs by three points on their cultivation path in the future.

“Mufu Peak!”

The result once again surprised everyone.

Most Disciples still held the impression of Mufu Peak as desolate and declining.

It was a peak that could be replaced and merged at any time.

“Why did they join Mufu Peak?”

Many people were confused, their faces full of question marks.

They just felt that what happened today was too unbelievable, severely impacting their worldview.

It could be said that the news of Wu Yue and Shi Xiaotian joining the Sect directly ignited the entire Immortal River Sect.

And it set many records.

The two oldest Outer Sect Disciples in the history of the Immortal River Sect.

The two strongest Outer Sect Disciples in the history of the Immortal River Sect since its establishment.

The two most distinguished Outer Sect Disciples in the history of the Immortal River Sect.

…

These truly became the trending topics and hot discussion points of this other world.

The excitement was theirs; for Mufu Peak, it had no impact.

Zhong Qing ate when he wanted to, drank when he wanted to, occasionally practiced Alchemy, and had picnics, living an extremely carefree life.

As for Lin Feng and Su Ye, ever since they took the Perfect Foundation Establishment Pill, they had been immersed in the rapid increase of their cultivation, unable to extricate themselves, basically either cultivating or on the path to cultivation.

The buzz about Wu Yue and Shi Xiaotian lasted for several days.

Soon, the focus of the entire Sect was drawn to another matter.

That was the upcoming Seven Peaks Grand Competition of the Sect.

Sect Grand Competitions are not uncommon among various Sects.

Those who stand out and perform well in the competition will receive focused cultivation and resource allocation from the Sect.

The legendary paths of some legendary figures began with the Sect Grand Competition.

This competition is a grand event for the entire Sect.

Moreover, this Grand Competition is unusual.

Those who achieve good results in the competition will represent the Sect to participate in the Xiandao Convention, which will be held throughout the Eastern Region soon.

The Xiandao Convention is truly a stage for the strong and a paradise for Prodigies.

It is a place where countless influential figures gather.

It is a grand carnival for the entire Eastern Region.

This day.

A Disciple came to invite Zhong Qing to the Xianjiang Grand Hall for a high-level meeting.

Zhong Qing had always had little interest in such meetings.

However, Mufu Peak was, after all, a part of the Immortal River Sect, so he couldn't be too unconventional or special.

Therefore, he only hesitated for a moment before responding to the call and going.

At this time, the Xianjiang Grand Hall was quite lively.

Sect Master Sect Leader Xuan Yuanhong sat at the head.

Below, all the Elders and Peak Masters were gathered.

“Peak Master Zhong is here!”

With Zhong Qing’s arrival, the already lively atmosphere reached a certain climax.

Everyone greeted him warmly.

Their attitude was incredibly enthusiastic.

It made Zhong Qing feel a bit uncomfortable all over.

At this moment, Sect Master Sect Leader Xuan Yuanhong looked at Zhong Qing.

He said with a smile, “The Sect’s Seven Peaks Grand Competition is about to begin.”

“I wonder who Mufu Peak plans to send to compete?”

Zhong Qing pondered for a moment before saying, “Sect Master, you also know that Mufu Peak has a small population.”

“There’s no one really to send, so I’ll just send two Outer Sect Disciples to participate!”

“The main thing is participation, after all.”

As soon as these words were spoken, countless high-ranking officials of the Immortal River Sect rolled their eyes wildly and twitched their mouths.

What the heavens, just casually sending two Outer Sect Disciples.

Are those normal Outer Sect Disciples?

And the main thing is participation.

Perhaps the main thing is participation for their own peaks!

“Sect Master, you wouldn’t agree to such an outrageous request, would you?”

Someone looked at Sect Leader Xuan Yuanhong.

They felt that those two should be prohibited from participating.

That would be fair to the other Disciples.

Unexpectedly, Sect Leader Xuan Yuanhong agreed without even thinking.

“It’s naturally excellent if your Mufu Peak can send people.”

“I plan to hold the competition in three days.”

“Remember to attend on time then!”

Zhong Qing had no interest in the rest of the meeting.

Whether it was in his previous life or this life, what he hated most was meetings.

So he simply found a corner and dreamt of Zhou Gong.

He slept straight through until the meeting ended.

By the time he returned to Mufu Peak from the Xianjiang Grand Hall, it was already dusk.

Zhong Qing didn’t really care about this competition.

It was nothing more than going through the motions.

After a long while, he finally summoned Wu Yue and Shi Xiaotian.

“Peak Master!”

In the small courtyard.

The two bowed to Zhong Qing.

“No need for formalities!”

Zhong Qing waved his hand and said, “Now you two are also Disciples of my Mufu Peak.”

“In three days, the Sect will hold a Seven Peaks Grand Competition.”

“Can you two represent my Mufu Peak in the competition?”

These words excited the two of them.

They were just about to find something to do to please Zhong Qing.

Unexpectedly, when they were sleepy, a pillow was delivered.

This, wasn’t this precisely their chance to show off?

“Peak Master, we will definitely give our all!”

The two rubbed their fists and were eager to try.

This was the first task Zhong Qing had given them, and the two were already impatient to show themselves.

They vowed to display the prestige of Mufu Peak.
