Chapter 97: Ignored? This Teacher Is Too Casual!
Chapter 97: Ignored? This Teacher Is Too Casual!
The Great Mountains, at the boundary of the barrier.
The Young Phoenix King was snatched back by a single claw.
"Let me go! I refuse to accept this! It must have been someone from your Immortal Sect who interfered!"
The Young Phoenix King struggled fiercely, but the Great Phoenix King's aura spread out, instantly suppressing him.
"Could the Ancient Stone Carvings be influenced?"
The Great Phoenix King's sharp eyes looked toward Su Changqing on the distant platform, feeling uncertain.
He had never touched the Ancient Stone Carvings, but according to the Old Phoenix King, no one could control them.
"If it's fake, that's one thing, but if it's real..."
A chill appeared in the Great Phoenix King's eyes.
To rank first on the Ancient Stone Carvings' list of prodigies, that talent was truly terrifying.
"Great Phoenix King, do you believe this result?"
Su Nan said with a half-smile.
Even the Great Phoenix King would have thought it was fake if he didn't know about the Ancient Stone Carvings. But he understood that the Great Phoenix King must have some understanding, given that his elders had once interacted with them.
"Whether I believe it or not is not important."
The Great Phoenix King gave a deep look at Su Changqing in the distance and then said:
"The ten spots in the Heavenly Demon Pool remain unchanged, but I'll add one for that young man."
"Three months from now, if he comes, I'll believe it. If he doesn't, it's fake, and the other spots will be canceled!"
He glanced at Su Nan and sneered:
"Let's see if you have the courage to let the top prodigy join our demon race!"
"Let's go."
With that, the Great Phoenix King turned and led everyone back into the demon realm within the barrier.
...
Watching the demons leave, the people of the Little Immortal Sect had heavy expressions.
If the demons opened this door, the Southern Region would never be peaceful again.
"Lord of the Domain, is that ranking real or fake?"
After a moment of silence, Miao Ba asked curiously.
As soon as he spoke, everyone in the room perked up their ears.
If it was real, they would risk everything to take him under their wing.
The top of the prodigy list! If not for the demons being there, they would have already tried to recruit him.
"Hahaha, of course it's fake!"
Su Nan laughed loudly, but he was wiping cold sweat from his forehead.
He almost couldn't control it, just a little bit more!
Thanks to Changqing's terrifying results, so unreal that it almost seemed fake, otherwise it would have been a disaster.
"When did this kid become so talented? Top of the prodigy list!"
Su Nan excitedly shouted in his mind.
With this ranking and the current era, he was destined to be a prodigy who would dominate the path to emperorhood!
The Su family would have a successor!
Even if he weren't around in the future, no one would dare to look down on the Su family.
"Absolutely cannot let Changqing know about his talent now!"
After his excitement, Su Nan's face turned serious.
The eldest and second eldest were already arrogant because of their talent and background.
Now, Changqing's talent was even more terrifying. If he found out too early, who knows what would happen?
"Some special training is needed."
Su Nan's face showed deep thought.
The surrounding elders, hearing it was fake, immediately lost their enthusiasm.
Especially after they saw Su Changqing's evaluation records.
No cultivation, average performance in the Heavenly Path test, and a blank in the Ten Thousand Spells Chart?
"Ah, this disciple has contributed to our Little Immortal Sect. Let the Alchemy Peak elder take him."
"Why should we? Your Demon Peak has the fewest people. Why don't you take him?"
"Then let the Scholar Peak take him. They believe in teaching all, don't they?"
With the demons gone, the battle for talent began.
The Little Immortal Sect had six peaks: Scholar, Dao, Buddha, Alchemy, Demon, and Martial, covering the six major traditions of the world.
The resources of the Six Peaks are not uniformly distributed.
In the Little Immortal Sect, numerous resource towers stand tall, allowing disciples to challenge them at any time. The more levels a disciple clears, the more resources they receive.
The elders then decide the amount of offerings based on how many levels their disciples clear.
Therefore, no one wants their disciples to be weak.
Elders like Xuan Qingzi, Lin Yuan, Zhou Yu, and Fang Yi have almost come to blows over their top disciples.
Su Changqing, who was once a hot commodity, is now being passed around like a hot potato.
After all, no one wants a mere mortal, especially when it affects their future performance evaluations.
Elder Whitebeard had initially wanted to take Su Changqing under his wing, knowing full well of Su Changqing’s true strength. However, after a discreet glance at the Sect Master, he silently shook his head. He couldn’t afford to offend the Sect Master over a single disciple.
“No one wants him?”
Wu Jiuling, who was drinking nearby, smirked and said, "Heh, don’t regret it when he ends up grabbing all the resources."
With that thought, he looked up at Su Changqing in the distance, his eyes filled with anticipation as he murmured, "The top prodigy, unaware of the Martial Ancestor’s legacy, can you perfect your cultivation?"
"If you can..."
Wu Jiuling chuckled drunkenly, his words inaudible.
...
At that moment, Su Nan, hearing the commotion, waved his hand with a smile.
"Alright, are you really going to fight? Go back, there’s no need to guard this place."
As soon as he said this, the elders present rushed to the Little Immortal Sect.
After all, the top prodigies had just finished their tests, and they couldn’t afford to be late!
The six peak leaders also shook their heads and smiled, preparing to leave.
But then, Su Nan looked at the Great Sage of Buddha Peak and called out, "Master Shanming, please stay a moment."
Shanming paused, then clasped his hands together and asked, "Lord Su, is there something you need?"
"Something small, and I need your help with it."
Su Nan stepped forward and whispered with a smile, "Would you like to give Spirit Mountain a taste of its own medicine?"
While all Buddhist sects originated from the Western Regions, not all Buddhists aspire to Spirit Mountain.
Master Shanming was one such case.
In his youth, he had studied at Spirit Mountain but was falsely accused of stealing a Buddhist artifact. In a fit of anger, he rebelled against the Western Regions and was pursued by Spirit Mountain.
Despite this, Shanming not only survived but also achieved the rank of Great Sage.
Recently, he was found by Su Nan, who offered him protection, and he became the leader of the Buddha Peak in the Little Immortal Sect.
"Oh?"
At the mention of tricking Spirit Mountain, Shanming’s eyes lit up, and he clasped his hands together, saying, "Amitabha, please let this poor monk participate!"
...
Wu Jiuling watched as the two men conversed, occasionally exchanging cold laughs, and silently mourned the fate of Spirit Mountain.
"I should go check on my disciple."
Wu Jiuling took a large gulp of wine to suppress the pain in his body, then chuckled as he stepped into the air and headed for the Little Immortal Sect.
Meanwhile, within the Little Immortal Sect.
Su Changqing looked at the numerous elders surrounding Xuan Qingzi, Lin Yuan, and others, then at himself, who was completely ignored, and couldn’t help but pout.
"At least I’ve contributed to the Little Immortal Sect, right? And now you don’t recognize me?"
"Any elder would do, as long as I can cultivate."
Su Changqing thought to himself.
Suddenly, a strong smell of alcohol hit him, and he looked up in surprise.
"Kid, would you like to become my disciple?" Wu Jiuling asked with a light smile.
Looking at the disheveled, thin, and tipsy old man before him, Su Changqing couldn’t help but twitch his lips.
He wasn’t picky, but this was a bit too casual, right?
