Chapter 14: The Second Disciple

Su Wenjiu left the Mu Mansion Peak and hurried back to the Morning Glow Valley. Looking into the distance as the Mu Mansion Peak gradually became smaller, she couldn't calm her heart for a long time.

Who would have thought that within such a small sect, there was such a formidable figure? She had grown up under various halos, feeling somewhat arrogant. But only now did she realize what it meant for there to be people beyond people and heavens beyond heavens. Her own tiny halo was truly nothing in front of a true expert.

Putting aside Zhong Qing, just the cultivation speed of Zhong Qing's disciple Lin Feng was something she couldn't keep up with even if she tried her best.

When she returned, she would definitely inform the people of the sect that one must not offend the people of the Morning Glow Valley!

Days passed by.

In less than half a month, the earth began to show signs of spring, and the temperature became warmer. Sunlight bathed the earth, and flowers and plants began to sprout from the soil, heralding the approaching season of rejuvenation.

Zhong Qing, dressed in white robes, lay on a recliner, feeling his own cultivation. "Host: Zhong Qing."

"Cultivation: Moon Profound Realm."

"Disciple: Lin Feng, Pre-Natal Peak cultivation, Hundredfold Amplification activated."

"Activated Bonding: Waste Material Bond 1/2."

"Acquired Physique: None."

"Acquired Special Skills: Sixth Brother Halo, Divine Eye."

Since accepting Lin Feng and activating the thousandfold amplification, Zhong Qing had broken through from the previous Star Profound Realm to the current Moon Profound Realm in just one month, relying on the feedback from Lin Feng's cultivation.

If this speed were to spread, Zhong Qing didn't know how many people would envy him. Take Su Wenjiu from some time ago, for example. Although she was also in the Moon Profound Realm, it was only after stumbling along the way and receiving intensive training in the Morning Glow Valley that she reached this realm.

Compared to that, it was too easy for Zhong Qing.

And Lin Feng's cultivation had already reached the Pre-Natal Peak, just one step away from the Morning Profound Realm. Once he entered the Morning Profound Realm, he would truly be among the ranks of real experts.

"Although the speed is fast, I still need to find the second waste material disciple as soon as possible," Zhong Qing murmured. After all, the difference between Waste Material Bond 1/2 and 2/2 in terms of feedback for him as a master was the difference between a thousandfold and ten thousandfold!

However, Zhong Qing had also researched this recently.

The requirements for this waste material were actually extremely strict according to the system. It had to be someone who couldn't even absorb spiritual energy into their body.

In such a world of cultivation, finding someone like that was in some sense even more difficult than finding someone with a purple talent. Because even if it was an ordinary person, pretending to sit cross-legged and absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth would still lead to a slight infusion of spiritual energy into the body for strengthening purposes.

Otherwise, Zhong Qing would have already randomly picked someone from the mundane world on the street to fill the quota.

Perhaps the system had heard his plea.

The long-awaited voice finally sounded. "Ding, potential disciple found. Host, please hurry to accept the disciple."

"Oh?" Zhong Qing's eyes lit up and he sat up. "Please instruct the host to immediately head to Tianyue City, where the potential disciple is located."

With the system's guidance, Zhong Qing headed towards Tianyue City without delay, eager for the ten-thousandfold amplification feedback from his disciple.

With the cultivation of the Moon Profound Realm, Zhong Qing could travel thousands of miles in a day. Tianyue City was only eight hundred miles away from the Morning Glow Valley, and not long after, Zhong Qing had already arrived in Tianyue City.

The city was bustling with activity, bustling with people coming and going, showcasing its prosperity.

Although it was a mundane city, several nearby sects procured their necessities here, including the Morning Glow Valley. Therefore, practitioners could be seen everywhere in Tianyue City.

Following the system's instructions, Zhong Qing headed towards Tianyue Square in the center of the city.

When he arrived at Tianyue Square, he found that it was already crowded with people, and the center was surrounded by a dense crowd.

In the center, several elders sat, with a group of disciples in uniform standing behind them. Below the elders were several talent-testing stones, and many people were queuing up to test their talent.

This situation was no different from when Zhong Qing accepted disciples at the Morning Glow Valley last time.

Listening to the discussions in the crowd, Zhong Qing roughly understood the situation. It turned out that the Feidao Sect needed to recruit a batch of outer disciples, so they were openly recruiting at Tianyue Square.

The Feidao Sect was a first-class sect in the Eastern Domain, even comparable to the Morning Glow Valley. This kind of opportunity was rare for many ordinary people.

However, the recruitment was already coming to an end.

"Congratulations to those who have tested white-grade talent or above. You will have the opportunity to board our Feidao Sect's flying boat later and officially become outer disciples of our Feidao Sect," an elder of the Feidao Sect announced loudly.

With these words, those who had tested white-grade talent or above showed surprise, but more were disappointed.

Zhong Qing wasn't interested in these matters. Instead, amidst the densely packed crowd, he searched for his precious disciple.

At this moment, a dirty little boy walked out from the crowd of those eliminated and bowed to the elder of the Feidao Sect below.

"What are you doing here if you've been eliminated?" a disciple of the Feidao Sect said, about to drive him away.

Seeing this, the boy hurriedly took out a token from his ragged clothes.

"Elder, I have a Feidao Token here. May I ask if I can become a disciple of the Feidao Sect?"

"Feidao Token?" The elder at the top was somewhat surprised. There was indeed a Feidao Token in the Feidao Sect, and as long as one held the token, they could unconditionally become a disciple of the Feidao Sect.

After the disciple handed over the Feidao Token, the elder examined it for authenticity and confirmed that it was genuine. He looked down at the little boy and asked, "Where did you get this Feidao Token?"

"Elder, five years ago, a senior elder of the Feidao Sect was seriously injured and pursued by enemies. He took out this Feidao Token to ask my parents to save his life, promising that as long as he had this Feidao Token, he could join the Feidao Sect unconditionally."

"However, in order not to reveal his whereabouts, my parents were killed by the enemies before they died. Before my father died, he gave me this Feidao Token."

The boy said sincerely, tears welling up in his eyes as he spoke of his parents' death.

After listening to the boy's words, the elder at the top had already determined the

authenticity of the Feidao Token. Indeed, five years ago, such an incident had occurred. It was when their elder was pursued and seriously injured by enemies, and he was saved by ordinary people.

However, his face remained expressionless as he looked at the dirty little boy with some disdain in his eyes.

After a long while, he crushed the Feidao Token in his hand into powder, casually waved his hand, and said, "Consider yourself a menial disciple. After entering the sect, you'll be responsible for mining for the sect."

"A menial disciple?"

"Well, at least I should be able to eat my fill." The boy showed a satisfied expression and quickly thanked the elder, "Thank you, elder."

"This..." Zhong Qing finally found his potential disciple, none other than this little boy.

He hadn't expected that before he could take action, the boy had already joined the Feidao Sect.

At the same time, he hadn't expected that his disciple's background would be so tragic.

The actions of the Feidao Sect also made him feel somewhat ashamed. Although the boy indeed had no talent, the parents had saved the life of their elder at the risk of their own lives. After joining the Feidao Sect, he wasn't expecting any special treatment, but to assign him to such a menial role was almost no burden at all for the Feidao Sect.

But fortunately, he was about to become his disciple.
