Xue Lin’s beautiful eyebrows frowned unhappily – she did not like these men hitting on her.
However, she also knew that since she, Qixuan Zhenren, and the Fate Elder’s powers had all disappeared, she was in no position to show anger towards these people. She didn’t want to put them in grave danger.
Xue Lin missed Qingfeng Li and wished that he was there by her side.
She knew that the ball of white light swallowed her spirit nucleus, and imagined that the same thing happened to Qingfeng Li. She worried about him but was helpless.
Xue Lin secretly swore that she was going to join a powerful sect, level up her powers, and find Qingfeng Li as soon as she could.
On the other side of Mars, Qingfeng Li was worried about Xue Lin as well.
Black Puppy saw through Qingfeng Li’s worries and rubbed its tail against his leg. “Qingfeng Li, don’t worry. Xue Lin is a lucky woman, nothing’s going to happen to her. She’s going to become a disciple of a powerful sect.”
Qingfeng Li nodded. He knew that Xue Lin had the Ice Phoenix Bloodline, and as soon as the recruiters saw that, they would take her in as a disciple.
Swoop!
A ray of sword energy broke through the skies like a comet and landed in front of the crowd of people.
Qingfeng looked up to see a young man standing atop the golden sword energy.
He was young, at most twenty-eight years old. With distinct eyebrows, starlit eyes, and a strong physique, this handsome young man’s entire body exuded powerful sword energy.
Magnificent sword energy split through the air as he advanced.
A golden arrow was sown onto the young man’s robes, reflecting golden light so bright that it hurt their eyes.
The fat middle-aged man hurried up at the sight of the young man and said, “Welcome, emissary of the Sword Supreme Sect, are you here to scout talent?”
The young man smiled faintly and nodded without getting off the golden sword.
This young man was rude and impolite, but the fat middle-aged man didn’t mind.
He was not just any disciple – he was the final disciple of the master of the Sword Supreme Sect and was here to take in any potential talents as disciples. (TL Note: final disciple is the last student the sect master takes in before saying, that’s it, no more students. Final disciples are usually the youngest but also most treasured by the Sect Master, and are usually sent to find more disciples when the sect master is ready to take in more students)
Once he found a disciple that he liked, the fat middle-aged man would be awarded with an emperor-level vitality stone, so naturally, the fat man was on high alert.
The handsome young man looked back and forth at the self-cultivators until his eyes finally lit up when he saw two potential talents amidst the crowd.
They were brother and sister, both in their late teens, both cultivated to that of Heavenly Spirit Realm; this pair were rare powerhouses.
“My name is Yangtian Jin, the direct disciple of the Sword Supreme Sect. Would the two of you like to come with me and train as our disciples?” the young man asked the twins in front of him.
The twins beamed at Yangtian Jin’s words. They had risen from a low-tier planet with the sole purpose to train on a high-tier planet and become powerful self-cultivators with powerful techniques.
So naturally, they were more than willing to become a disciple of the Supreme Sword Sect, and happily ran up to the handsome young man.
After taking in the twins, Yangtian Jin turned his attention back to the hundred or so self-cultivators, but he didn’t find anyone else he liked. Suddenly, his eyes landed on Qingfeng Li.
At first, Yangtian Jin’s eyes lit up in surprise, as he felt a unique energy from Qingfeng Li. However, his surprise quickly turned to disappointment.
Yangtian Jin failed to detect any vital essence from Qingfeng Li – he seemed to be no more than an ordinary person.
An ordinary man into his twenties who hadn’t cultivated nor had any vital essence was obviously untalented. Yangtian Jin looked at Qingfeng Li in disappointment one more time before turning his head away.
“Fatty, not bad, I took in two disciples this time around. Here are two emperor-level vitality stones,” Yangtian Jin said to the fat middle-aged man as he took out two stones from his robe and threw them at the fat man.
Then, he turned around with the twins and left the spirit world platform.
The fat middle-aged man looked at the vitality stones happily.
Having already reached the peak stage of spirit king realm, he could use these stones to level up to spirit emperor realm, he thought in delight.
The fat middle-aged man secretly hoped that Yangtian Jin could take in more disciples, but unfortunately, Yangtian Jin was not interested in anyone else.
Black Puppy reached out its paw and tugged the bottom of Qingfeng Li’s pants. Quietly, it asked, “Why did you hide your bloodline power just now when Yangtian Jin looked at you?”
Qingfeng Li shook his head and answered, “I just don’t like that guy, so I didn’t want to become a disciple of the Sword Supreme Sect.”
Black Puppy rolled its eyes at Qingfeng Li upon hearing this.
The Sword Supreme Sect was one of the most powerful sects on the Crimson Fire Continent. One could only imagine how powerful Yangtian Jin was to have become the final disciple of the master of Sword Supreme Sect.
Qingfeng Li clearly saw that Yangtian Jin was at the ninth level of the spirit emperor realm and was about to level up. He must have had incredible talent and potential to be able to cultivate this far at such a young age.
However, Qingfeng Li didn’t care for him at all – perhaps geniuses disliked each other.
Qingfeng Li hid his dragon and devourer bloodlines with the energy inside his body so that Yangtian Jin wouldn’t notice his powers.
Of course, the other reason for why he didn’t want to become a part of the Sword Supreme Sect was the twins.
He remembered clearly that when he first arrived on the spirit world platform, it was them who called him a beggar and a nobody. And since the twins went with Yangtian Jin, Qingfeng Li wouldn’t.
A bright saber light shone brightly after Yangtian Jin left.
The light pierced through the sky as a young man in black came flying in on a black saber.
