Attaining Immortality, Starting From Slaying Demons-Chapter 331 - 329: The Examination of Wutong Mountain_1

Chapter 331 -329: The Examination of Wutong Mountain_1

The mountain range towered like the spine of a dragon.

The mountains were pristine, and immortal mist swirled around.

Every other mountain peak bore a secluded wooden house, faintly visible among the greenery.

There were twelve mountains, and there were twelve wooden houses.

They stood guard over the mountains, firmly perched on the peaks.

At the foot of the second mountain.

...

Yu Chao’an stretched lazily, his face still blackened by the eerie light, yet he nearly resembled a recluse with a lofty demeanor.

“Becoming the senior sister’s registered disciple isn’t difficult,” he said.

“After all, she doesn’t care about cultivation level.”

“As long as you can complete the task she assigns, no matter how, you will suffice.”

Before him stood, in total, seven figures.

Regardless of gender, they were all stunning and elegant, as if they had stepped out of a painting.

It was hard to imagine from how many places one would have to select to find such a group of disciples with exceptional talent and exquisite appearances.

This must be the senior sister’s unique penchant for choosing registered disciples; otherwise, she wouldn’t have competed with the master for Nie Shixiong, nearly turning him into her own apprentice nephew.

“Did you think your talent was particularly high before?” Yu Chao’an finished stretching and smiled at a cloaked woman in the crowd, “Brought back by Nie Shixiong himself, you thought you had it in the bag, didn’t you? Yet didn’t expect that each person here is no less gifted than you?”

“…”

Faced with the teasing, Jiang Qiulan merely lifted her eyes slightly, her dark pupils calm and undisturbed.

Scanned by that cool gaze,

Yu Chao’an felt dispirited and pursed his lips. He had planned to tease this little lass, but it turned out she was as inexpressive as a block of wood, with no reaction at all.

No wonder the senior sister didn’t like her.

Nie Shixiong had an affinity for gourmet food, while this young woman cared for nothing but cultivation.

Despite all her training, her realm was still the lowest.

“Alright.”

Yu Chao’an looked at the others, who were quietly laughing, and his expression grew serious, “That old crimson-scaled python lays only three eggs in its nest, so there will be just three spots. The sister doesn’t care about anything else – whoever brings an egg back gets up the mountain.”

Excitement flickered in the eyes of the six people other than Jiang Qiulan.

However, their excitement had barely lasted a moment before they heard Yu Chao’an’s schadenfreude-filled words.

“By the way, we just wreaked havoc in the Thousand Demon Cave, and they’re all extremely enraged now. Best of luck to you all, and if anyone wants to back out, now’s the time.”

“May I ask Senior Yu, is that python you mentioned the Demon Emperor?” inquired an attractive young lady, bowing respectfully.

Hearing this, Yu Chao’an looked at her oddly, “Do you have some misunderstanding about our Wutong Mountain’s senior sister? Would she care for eggs laid by an ordinary Demon Emperor? It’s from the twenty-third cave—the Crimson Heart Serpent Emperor; even our junior brother might not withstand it if it gets serious.”

“Isn’t this sending us to our deaths?” the faces of several people turned pale.

The twenty-third cave signified an existence close to the Transcendent Spirit Late Stage, and they were to steal the eggs from such a terrifying Demon Emperor.

What a joke!

Wutong Mountain was just an Immortal Sect—not somewhere you become a deity just by joining.

Let alone that they were only registering for disciple status.

Was this not intentionally toying with them?

“Please, use your heads. There are always more solutions than difficulties,” Yu Chao’an tapped his temple, then murmured, “You haven’t seen harsher; someone took the tail of Old Jiaolong right before our eyes, and their cultivation level may not even be as high as yours.”

If they could bring that person back, perhaps the senior sister would be particularly interested.

It was but a fleeting glance, but that face was indeed strikingly handsome.

“…”

Upon hearing this, a hint of competitiveness finally surfaced on Jiang Qiulan’s pale and jade-like face.

She had only ever felt such emotions in the presence of one individual.

However, after a brief interaction, that person had completely crushed her competitiveness, coupled with some vague and bizarre feelings, making her disinclined to compare herself with him any further.

Now, there was finally someone else.

Jiang Qiulan really wanted to know, aside from a freak like Shen Yi, whether she could be the foremost among the younger generation.

“I withdraw.”

After a brief silence, four hands went up in the crowd.

“Well, now there’s no need to fight over it.”

Yu Chao’an smiled and didn’t seem to care, but then looked toward the distance with a hint of surprise.

The aloof girl slowly pulled her hood over her hair and, without a word, turned and walked out of the crowd.

Her back looked somewhat proud, clearly out of place compared to the others.

“Tsk, how interesting.”

Yu Chao’an stroked his chin, thinking that if his senior sister wouldn’t take her, why not take another nominal disciple himself?

“Hiss.”

He accidentally touched a sore spot and grimaced as he withdrew his gaze.

Damn little earthworm, just wait until Daoist master’s magic is perfect; I’ll surely skin it.

We’re both in the Transcendent Spirit Late Stage; how can there be such a big difference.

“Miss, please wait.”

After the four others had also left, the two remaining quickly chased after Jiang Qiulan.

A man and a woman.

Although their appearances were not as outstanding as Jiang Qiulan’s, they were also one in ten thousand.

“Since they have withdrawn, there’s no need for us to compete. How about we collaborate?”

While speaking, Feng Huasheng glanced at the other woman.

He felt somewhat relieved now; this younger girl had arrived late and didn’t know that the two were companions.

Zhuo Ya quickly understood the implication of companions, and with a gentle voice tinged with a bit of restraint, said, “I had the same thought. Thousand Demon Cave is too dangerous; it’s a bit too much for me alone.”

Jiang Qiulan turned to look back, her gaze lingering on the two for a moment.

After a short while, a meaningful curve emerged on her lips, “Okay then.”

Feng Huasheng seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, hurriedly cupping his hands in salute. “I am Feng Huasheng from Taiyue Prefecture. I haven’t asked where the lady hails from.”

Jiang Qiulan indifferently retracted her gaze, “Loose Cultivator, Jiang Qiulan.”

Having said this, she once again began to walk.

Zhuo Ya, who caught a glimpse of this scene, felt a flicker of displeasure, and quietly cast a sound transmission spell, “Isn’t this person a bit too arrogant?”

“Sister Ya is unaware, such Loose Cultivators tend to be exceptionally cautious.”

Feng Huasheng, still smiling openly, followed unhurriedly and replied through the sound transmission, “But don’t worry, the biggest disadvantage of Loose Cultivators is their limited exposure. Look at her, she doesn’t even have a single decent magical treasure on her. Even if we were to employ tricks right in front of her, she might not be able to recognize them.”

Three serpent eggs, three spots.

It seems there is no competition… but it’s never that simple.

Spots are spots; once admitted as disciples under Spirit Xi True Person, an additional nominal disciple would inevitably mean one less share of the master’s favor.

Resources are not something you can have too much of.

Moreover, being able to stand at the foot of Wutong Mountain, her talent speaks for itself.

If she truly became a fellow disciple with Jiang Qiulan, wouldn’t the two of them be overtly neglected?

“You’ve thought it through.”

Zhuo Ya followed with satisfaction; even as a cultivator of high realm, without reaching Divinity Transformation, who could cut off all emotions and desires?

She was worried her companion might show leniency out of fondness for the young lady’s celestial grace.

Now it seemed that the allure of cultivating the Great Path was much stronger.

“…”

Listening to the footsteps behind her.

A trace of weariness flashed in Jiang Qiulan’s eyes. Since she left Great Qian, her hands had been stained with too many lives.

She had no intention to harm others.

Yet there were always some who did not recognize the situation, insisting on being the stepping stones in her path.

Now it seems she had to add another pair of heads to the count.

She glanced at her storage bag; well, that person was busy courting a beauty, neglecting his cultivation. She might as well collect some of his foundation for him as well.
