Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“He Qingge, step forward. You’ll be my last disciple.”

He Qingge walked out with the jade box. He already knew the result, but he was still very excited.

He would be the legacy disciple of the Tian Xuan Sect and the last disciple of the Peak Master of the Imperial Beast Peak.

How could he not be excited and happy!

Hearing the results announced by the Peak Master, many people lowered their heads and stomped their feet.

Why did they not think of such a method? Could it be that being different from others would give them different treatment?

From the group of talented disciples, the Peak Master chose an ordinary person who was only at the fifth level of the Qi Refinement Realm.

This result was clearly beyond everyone’s expectations. It was completely beyond their expectations.

Especially those few Foundation Establishment Realm disciples, their faces were filled with astonishment at this moment.

Originally, they thought that the final candidate would be selected from their group of Foundation Establishment Realm disciples. The other Qi Refinement

Realm disciples should be grateful that they were even given a chance to learn.

Now, the one who was chosen was a Qi Refinement cultivator.

He Qingge, who was standing in the middle, was the center of attention.

Envy, jealousy, hatred, and all sorts of emotions were directed at him.

He Qingge stood at the very front, watching everyone’s various reactions.

Most of the disciples did not dare to show their malice, and they basically smiled to please.

One by one, he swept his gaze over them, but none of them dared to look him in the eye.

Even if the Foundation Establishment Realm disciples saw him, they would only slightly lower their heads and not look at him. They were afraid that the anger and jealousy in their eyes would spew out and attract He Qingge’s displeasure.

He Qingge could not help but feel that he had really reached the heavens in one step.

The people who used to be high and mighty and who he had to look up to did not even dare to look him in the eye now.

Of course, he also understood that this was not because of his strength. At most, he was just a fox borrowing the tiger’s might.

Very quickly, he restrained his thoughts. This feeling was really somewhat intoxicating.

He was simply below one person and above 10,000 people.

Wang Xuanji had the most complicated feelings.

He held the jade box tightly in his hand. The Peak Master had stayed in front of him for the longest time. If it was not for He Qingge, would he not have been the chosen one?

“Wang Xuanji, are you willing to become my in-name disciple?”

Wang Xuanji was still looking at He Qingge with a complicated expression. Just as he was struggling with his emotions, a cold voice suddenly woke him up.

Wang Xuanji instantly came to a realization and said excitedly, “I’m willing, I’m willing..

He was an inner disciple of the Tian Xuan Sect and was in the Foundation Establishment Realm. According to his rank, his status should be similar to the Peak Master’s in -name disciples.

There was a huge difference between an in-name disciple and an inner disciple.

Even so, he could be considered to have a backer. He was much better than ordinary inner sect disciples.

He Qingge’s pupils flickered slightly. It seemed that his previous guess was right.

If not for him, Wang Xuanji would have had a high chance of becoming a

legacy disciple.

“Alright, this selection is over. Let’s go back.”

The Peak Master waved his hand and pulled everyone back onto the back of the Sleepless Whale.

He Qingge, the Peak Master, Su Zimei, and Zheng Xiaoling were standing at the front, attracting everyone’s attention.

High up in the sky, everyone’s attention was focused.

Their moods instantly became optimistic, relaxed, and ambitious.

They felt like birds above the world, separated from the noise and complexity of the secular world.

He Qingge’s entire temperament had undergone a slight change.

The Wisdom Scripture Divine Wheel in his mind continued to evolve, and He Qingge’s eyes became clearer.

His white robe fluttered in the air. His long hair was elegant and free. His facial features were distinct.

His eyes were warm and filled with wisdom, as if they could penetrate people’s hearts.

People could not help but sigh.

Of course, if given the chance to snatch the roast meats from his hands, they would have devoured them clean.

“Master, do you want to eat together? My skills are not bad.”

“No need, you can eat them yourself! It’s better for cultivators to eat less of these things.” The corner of the Peak Master’s mouth twitched, but no one could see it.

Did he choose the wrong disciple?

“Master, I can testify that it’s really good and delicious.” Su Zimei took the roast goose without hesitation.

She looked elegant when she ate, but her speed was not slow at all.

As expected of a high-level cultivator…

Since his master did not want to eat, He Qingge passed the last piece of roast duck to Zheng Xiaoling.

The Sound-Gathering Butterfly lay on He Qingge’s shoulder and slowly emitted a sound, playing a beautiful melody.

Soon, He Qingge returned to the sect and packed his things to move to the legacy disciple area of the Imperial Beast Peak.

The core of the Imperial Beast Peak here was relatively more abundant in spiritual energy, and the cultivation speed could be effectively increased.

After returning, He Qingge went into closed-door cultivation for another month. The resources he enjoyed were completely different from before.

For example, He Qingge could eat the Three Yuan Pills that Bai Yan had been trying so hard to obtain like they were candy as long as he wanted to. He just needed to be able to digest so many.

“Lil Butterfly, recite it again.”

“In the autumn of XX, in the seventh month, Su Zi and his guests were boating under Red Cliff. The breeze blew gently, and the waves were still. He raised his wine to entertain the guests, recited the poem of the bright moon, and sang a beautiful tune. After a while, the moon appeared above Dongshan Mountain and lingered while the bulls fought.

“Even if a reed can be used, it can overcome thousands of hectares of confusion. It’s like Feng Xu riding the wind, but I don’t know where it stops. He floats like a lonely man who has left the world and ascended to immortality.”

Lil Butterfly smoothly recited the front part of the poem.

Its flapping wings were suspended in mid-air.

After reciting it, it flapped its wings and circled around Brother He Qing twice. It was colorful and beautiful like a dream.

“How is it? How is it?”

It was a little nervous and expectant as it waited for He Qingge’s response.

This was the result of practicing hard for a long time.

He Qingge had taught Xiao Die how to speak during this time.

Normally speaking, spirit beasts and demon beasts could not speak before they broke through to the Foundation Establishment Realm, nor would they have the mature intelligence of humans.

Lil Butterfly was now a mature spiritual pet and could recite the Ode to the Red Cliff alone.

Its intelligence was also much smarter than ordinary spirit beasts.

“Not bad, this is your reward.” He Qingge took out its favorite Sound-Listening Grass and Spirit-Gathering Grass.

“Hehe!”

After hearing the praise, Lil Butterfly happily drew a few circles in the air.

Then, it flew to the spiritual herbs and began to enjoy them.

“Not bad. Did you write it?”

The Peak Master of the Imperial Beast Peak suddenly appeared in front of He Qingge. He felt that he could not see through He Qingge.

“No. I met a wandering scholar when I was young.” He Qingge shook his head.

The Peak Master said, “A traveling scholar. He might’ve been an unknown senior.

“Your spirit pet is not bad. I see that its intelligence has already developed greatly. It can actually speak so smoothly at the Qi Refinement Realm. It seems that you’ve spent a lot of effort.”

He Qingge said, “It’s because it’s smart. I only taught it a little.”

Hearing He Qingge’s praise, Lil Butterfly became even happier. It swore in its heart that it would work harder.

It could not let its master lose face.

“Is there something wrong, Master?” He Qingge asked curiously.

The Peak Master glared at him. “Can’t I come even if there’s nothing wrong?”

“Of course not,” He Qingge quickly said. “It’s just that you’re usually busy every day.”

“This time, I’m here to ask you about the transformation of your cultivation technique.

“What cultivation technique are you cultivating now?”

“Little Yinyang Five Elements Secrets.” He Qingge then took out the cultivation imparting jade plate of the Little Yinyang Five Elements Secrets.

“This cultivation technique is still fine for you to cultivate now.

“However, the inheritance of our Imperial Beast Peak is the Imperial Beast Art. We don’t have much of an advantage in terms of cultivation, but we have quite a few strengths in terms of combat.

“Coupled with your spirit pet, your combat ability will be greatly improved. It can reach a level where one plus one is greater than three..”
