Zhou Li gave a look to the scrawny guy beside him.
The scrawny guy nodded, understanding Zhou Li's meaning, and said, "Cultivation of immortality is about enduring hardship and having a strong physique. Looking at Mr. Yu, so refined and scholarly, his potential probably isn't that great. He likely can't cultivate immortality."
Yu Que looked curious, "Oh, how do you know my potential isn't good?"
The scrawny guy was left speechless by Yu Que's question and looked at Zhou Li.
Zhou Li coughed dryly, took two steps forward, put his hands behind his back, looking like he knew everything.
"What this young brother said does have some truth to it. Those with good potential are more sensitive to the spiritual energy in the air than ordinary people, and naturally, their physique would also be better than ordinary people."
The people around also realized Zhou Li was deliberately mocking Yu Que and chimed in.
"Young Master Zhou is right."
"Good potential indeed requires a good physique."
Who wouldn't want to flatter Young Master Zhou? Perhaps they could develop their careers in the Zhou family in the future.
Zhou Jie looked at Yu Que. What Zhou Li said made sense; people with good potential must have strong physiques.
Even though he was very handsome! Very handsome!!
But this frail body was probably really unsuitable for cultivating immortality.
The female disciples watching the excitement also felt regret.
Such a handsome man, it's a pity he can't cultivate immortality.
Yu Que glanced at the fawning crowd. The more they mocked him, the more excited they became.
Yu Que slowly walked to the testing pillar, flicked his sleeve, a breeze stirred, his expression serious, his eyes sweeping over everyone present.
Everyone was startled by Yu Que's sudden imposing aura and fell silent.
"How can mere trash contend with a true dragon?"
Yu Que's voice was not loud but firm and powerful, an unstoppable aura.
Everyone was stunned by Yu Que's words.
How can mere trash contend with a true dragon!!
What kind of aura was this!
How strong did one have to be to utter such a sentence?
The three elders in the sky were also startled and sighed.
At such a young age, to possess such an aura, his future was limitless.
[Ding, Zhou Jie was shocked by the host's aura, favorability +2%, current favorability: 11%]
Yu Que was dumbfounded. He hadn't even started performing, and his favorability had already increased.
Since that was the case, he had to put on an even better show.
Yu Que raised his hand and touched the testing pillar.
"Rumble"
The moment Yu Que placed his hand on the testing pillar, a bolt of lightning struck down from the sky.
A golden light illuminated the entire stone pillar, and the golden light transformed into a golden dragon that shot straight into the sky, dyeing the sky within a three-mile radius golden.
The crowd below stared with wide mouths, golden energy transforming into a dragon and shooting into the sky. Was this his capital?
The three elders in the sky had fiery eyes.
After three thousand years, the Eastern Xuan Continent finally had someone with divine potential.
[Ding, Zhou Jie was shocked by the host's potential, favorability +5%, current favorability: 16%]
Yu Que smirked, the timing was perfect, and he glanced at Zhou Jie beside him.
Come on, drink this bowl of poisoned chicken soup!
"Cultivation is inherently a path against the heavens. If one only cares about potential and forgets their original intention, then they are not worthy of stepping onto the path of cultivation."
This rebellious smile, this heaven-defying aura, even the three elders in the sky were shocked.
[Ding, Zhou Jie was shocked by the host's powerful words and his disdainful aura, favorability +5%, current favorability: 21%]
[Congratulations to the host for completing a triple play, earning an additional +10% favorability, current favorability: 31%]
Yu Que retracted his hand, putting his hands behind his back.
They had already lost at the starting line.
Seeing that everyone had finished testing, one of the elders in the sky called out to the crowd below, "The test is over, and we will now begin the allocation of disciples."
As he spoke, his gaze flickered towards Yu Que: "Our sect is divided into six peaks. Those with Profound-grade or higher potential can choose the first five peaks. Those with Earth-grade or higher potential can choose the first two peaks. Yellow-grade potential can only choose the sixth peak."
After speaking, the three elders leaped down to the ground.
"Earth-grade potential disciples follow the elder on the left, Profound-grade potential disciples follow the elder on the right, and Yellow-grade potential disciples follow me." The elder in the middle finished speaking and looked at Yu Que: "As for you, I will report to the Sect Master and have you become her personal disciple."
As soon as this was said, everyone showed envy.
What did it mean to be a personal disciple? They could freely use all the cultivation resources, elixirs, and techniques of the entire sect, and even become the young sect master.
Many female disciples were already sending flirtatious glances at Yu Que.
He was handsome and had such great potential, he was simply their destined one.
Yu Que raised his hand and bowed, "Thank you, Elder, for the recommendation. I wish to go to the Sixth Peak."
The three elders' expressions changed.
"The Sixth Peak is the worst peak, are you sure?"
Everyone looked confused.
What was going on?
To refuse to be a personal disciple and instead become an ordinary disciple.
No matter how amazing he was, he shouldn't joke about his future.
Yu Que nodded, "Disciple has made up his mind."
The elder in the middle coughed dryly, "This concerns your future, you should consider it carefully."
Yu Que bowed again, "My mind is made up, I hope the Elder will grant my wish."
The three elders sighed.
Such a good seedling, why was his brain so underdeveloped?
Yu Que felt bitter in his heart. He wished he could be a personal disciple, but he couldn't do it for Zhou Jie.
To increase his favorability, he had to stay with that guy.
Under the bewildered gazes of the crowd, Yu Que, Zhou Jie, and some Yellow-grade potential disciples followed the elders into the sect.
The Six Sword Sect had a total of seven peaks, with six peaks forming a semicircle around the main peak, looking quite grand.
Upon arriving at the plaza halfway up the Sixth Peak, a woman in a white Daoist robe was already waiting.
The woman was around thirty years old, but her face was free of wrinkles, and she was undeniably beautiful.
Behind her stood four disciples, their white Daoist robes embroidered with a "六" character on the chest.
The woman saw everyone arrive and smiled, "Thank you, Fourth Senior Brother, for leading the way today."
The Fourth Elder waved his hand, "Where is this coming from, Sixth Junior Sister?"
The woman scanned the crowd and finally paused on Yu Que for two seconds, "This time, Senior Brother is hosting the disciple recruitment大会, you must have recruited many disciples with high potential, right?"
The Fourth Elder sighed, glanced at Yu Que behind him, leaned into the woman's ear, and began to whisper.
The woman frowned slightly and looked at Yu Que, "Is what Fourth Senior Brother said true!"
The Fourth Elder nodded, "Absolutely true."
The woman's eyes lit up, and her gaze towards Yu Que changed, as if she hadn't seen a man in three hundred years.
Yu Que instinctively took a step back. Was his appearance so handsome that even an elder was captivated by him?
Was he going to be taken care of and thus reach the pinnacle of his life!
The Fourth Elder coughed dryly, and only then did the woman retract her ardent gaze.
It had been seventy years, and finally, she had a talent with Earth-grade potential or higher under her wing.
If there were no outstanding disciples this year, her position as elder might be in jeopardy.
Although the Fourth Elder had a smile on his face, he felt a pang of envy in his heart.
Divine potential, if not for the sect's rules, he would have immediately taken Yu Que as his personal disciple.
He originally wanted to recommend him to the Sect Master, and on the principle of "if I can't have it, I'll give it away," he didn't expect this fellow to be so foolish and refuse the Sect Master's personal disciple, choosing instead the worst, the Sixth Peak.
The Fourth Elder sighed deeply, walked to Yu Que's side, patted his shoulder, and revealed a lecherous smile, "If you can't make it on the Sixth Peak in the future, you can come to the Fourth Peak to find me."
After saying that, he condensed a white long sword with one hand, stepped onto the sword, and flew away without looking back.
After flying a certain distance, the Fourth Elder finally breathed a sigh of relief. He could feel that the old woman behind him was about to explode.
Everyone was captivated by the Fourth Elder's majestic sword-flying posture.
"Isn't it just sword flying? It's as if I can't do it." The woman coughed dryly and said, "From now on, you are all disciples of my Sixth Peak."
Everyone looked at the woman.
The woman continued, "My surname is Qin, my given name is Xuelan, and from now on, I will be your master."
After introducing herself, the woman began to explain the rules of the Sixth Peak.
"First, this peak is a free-range mountain. Besides the monthly fixed distribution of elixirs by the sect, if you want more, you have to find your own way."
"Second, this peak adheres to the principle of self-reliance. Apart from basic cultivation techniques, if you want better techniques and martial skills, you have to find your own way."
"Third, to train disciples to adapt to the outside world, if disciples from other peaks bully you, you don't need to tell me, just fight back."
The crowd's eyes lit up when they heard the last rule. They didn't expect their master to be so assertive. Although it was the worst peak, it sounded pretty good.
Yu Que looked at Zhou Jie, who was smiling beside him, and felt speechless.
What was there to be happy about? Elixirs and techniques had to be found on their own, and not telling her meant that even if they were bullied, they didn't need to inform her.
In summary, it meant no elixirs, no techniques, and no protection, a truly three-no product peak.
