135: children make choices

“All of us on Scarlet Cloud Peak are fair-skinned, beautiful, and have long legs. Would you like to consider joining us?”

Hearing this, Mo Fan was stunned.

Are the female elders of Jade Void Academy all so open-minded?

But soon, Mo Fan realized.

The person in front of him was Xu Chaomu of Scarlet Cloud Peak!

The legendary Elder of Scarlet Cloud Peak—Xu Chaomu—who was said to be incredibly beautiful, incredibly powerful, dared to challenge the sect master, liked to take advantage of her disciples, enjoyed teasing them, and often ‘insulted’ them with spirit stones and cultivation resources!

Mo Fan’s heart was itching.

A master like this… was simply divine!

Thinking of this, Mo Fan couldn’t wait to agree immediately and follow this beautiful master to Scarlet Cloud Peak!

But very quickly, he calmed down.

This person was also Mo Yingying’s master… and was also gay!

Thinking of this, Mo Fan was torn.

Should he succumb to the beautiful peak master’s ‘tyranny’?

Seeing Mo Fan remain silent, Xu Chaomu frowned slightly and said,

“Little one, haven’t you made up your mind yet? Am I not fierce enough? Don’t worry, Scarlet Cloud Peak has someone even fiercer than me~”

Hearing this, Mo Fan was dumbfounded: “Ah, this—”

Just then, Xie Siyuan, dressed in a scholar’s robe, holding a folding fan, and exuding an elegant demeanor, walked out.

He chuckled softly and slowly said,

“Junior Sister Xu, haven’t you realized yet? This little one is clearly scared by you.

“Haha, who just throws themselves at someone? When did our Jade Void Academy become so unrefined?”

With that, without waiting for Xu Chaomu to get angry, Xie Siyuan quickly turned around, took Mo Fan’s hand, and said with a sincere expression,

“Little one, come to our Demon Slayer Peak.

“Scarlet Cloud Peak is full of women, who will only hinder your cultivation speed. Demon Slayer Peak is your true home.

“Oh, and Zhining is also a disciple of Demon Slayer Peak. I presume you two are already acquainted, so you’ll have someone to look out for you on Demon Slayer Peak.”

With that, Xie Siyuan quickly turned his face to Li Zhining and winked.

Li Zhining immediately understood and quickly said, “Ah, yes, I am a disciple of Demon Slayer Peak. Demon Slayer Peak is all men, full of masculinity. Junior Brother Mo can consider—”

Li Zhining hadn’t finished speaking when Xie Siyuan glared at him fiercely.

Looking at his fierce-looking master, Li Zhining could only swallow his words, give an awkward smile, and turn to sneak away.

His master’s expression just now was too terrifying, like he was going to eat someone!

If he didn’t leave now, he might be beaten to death!

Taking a deep breath, Xie Siyuan immediately plastered a smile on his face, looked at Mo Fan, and whispered,

“Don’t panic, little one. Tomorrow, I’ll recruit a few fair-skinned, beautiful, long-legged female disciples to be your junior sisters!”

“Ah, this, isn’t that a bit inappropriate?” Mo Fan’s scalp tingled.

“Hahahaha, Senior Brother Xie, are you trying to make us die of laughter?

“Little Mo Fan already said he only likes fair-skinned, beautiful, long-legged masters.

“Which part of you do you think fits those words?

“Also, don’t you have a clear understanding of your own teaching abilities?

“This little one has such great talent. Letting him cultivate with you, what’s the difference between that and pushing him into a fire pit?

“And recruiting female disciples, hehe, you’re going to disgrace Jade Void Academy!”

Xu Chaomu looked at Xie Siyuan with an idiotic gaze.

“You—” Xie Siyuan’s brows furrowed, about to erupt.

“Cough, cough—”

Just then, Sect Master Gu Qingshan walked over.

He coughed twice, stopping the two arguing individuals, and slowly said,

“Stop arguing, both of you. It’ll be the same as last time. The elders of each peak will introduce themselves, and Mo Fan will make the final choice.”

At these words, everyone immediately quieted down, concentrating on their words.

Gu Qingshan smiled and directly said,

“Let’s start with this old man.”

He glanced at Mo Fan and directly said, “This old man is Gu Qingshan, the Sect Master of Jade Void Academy, residing on Jade Void Peak, and the highest-cultivated person in the academy.

“Jade Void Peak primarily cultivates the Jade Void Art, a supreme secret technique with the power to turn decay into wonder.

“If you are willing, you can follow this old man in cultivation. This old man will impart everything without reservation, striving to make you the youngest Return to Origin, or even a Supreme Expert, in history.”

After speaking, Gu Qingshan stepped aside and remained silent.

After all, he was the Sect Master. Although he really wanted to take Mo Fan as his disciple, he had to maintain his composure no matter what.

After Gu Qingshan finished speaking, Xie Siyuan immediately stepped forward.

However, at this moment, Xie Siyuan seemed to have been stimulated by something, and his state was a bit off.

His eyes were slightly red, and his original elegant demeanor had long disappeared, replaced by a visible roughness.

“Hahahaha, it’s finally my turn!”

“You’re Mo Fan, right? I won’t say anything else!

“As long as you join our Demon Slayer Peak! No one will dare to bully you in the future!

“If anyone dares to bully you! I’ll chase them with a knife and hack them! From Jade Void Peak all the way to Blazing Flame Peak!

“Even Gu Qingshan! If he dares to bully you! I’ll tear down his Jade Void Peak!

“You must remember, in Jade Void Academy, I am invincible. I claim second, and no one dares to claim first!”

As he spoke, he glanced at Gu Qingshan with a hint of guilt.

You’re only a tiny bit stronger than me for now!

In a few days, when my Demon Slayer Record breaks through again!

I’ll chase you and beat you!

After speaking, Xie Siyuan looked at Mo Fan and said, “I’m done. Think about it carefully!

“Oh, and the cultivation method of Demon Slayer Peak is the Demon Slayer Record. The more talented a person is, the more suitable they are for cultivating the Demon Slayer Record.

“With your talent, you are perfectly suited for the Demon Slayer Record. I guarantee that if you cultivate the Demon Slayer Record, in at most another ten or eight years, you will reach Return to Origin!”

Mo Fan nodded, not immediately expressing his stance.

At the same time, a tall, stern-faced middle-aged man walked out.

He introduced himself solemnly: “I am Lu Chengkong of True Martial Peak, with a cultivation of Return to Origin Eighth Layer.

“Our True Martial Peak follows the body-refining path, pursuing ultimate physical strength, longing for fist-to-flesh combat, and the grandeur of splitting mountains with our palms!

“True Martial Peak cultivates the Primordial Magnet Body Forging Art. Cultivated to the highest realm, one can withstand supreme treasures and tear apart demon kings with bare hands!

“Your physique is robust, and your aura is very stable, making you most suitable for cultivating the Primordial Magnet Body Forging Art. If you come to True Martial Peak, in time, you will surely be invincible under heaven!”

After speaking, Lu Chengkong consciously stepped back, waiting for others to introduce themselves.

Next to introduce herself was Xu Chaomu of Scarlet Cloud Peak.

Besides being fair-skinned, beautiful, long-legged, and very fierce...

Xu Chaomu was also an incredible existence whose cultivation at Return to Origin Seventh Layer could contend with Xie Siyuan’s Return to Origin Ninth Layer.

Scarlet Cloud Peak specialized in formations, and successive peak masters were all grandmasters of formations.

The peak masters of each peak introduced themselves one by one, each with their own unique characteristics.

There was Destiny Peak, skilled in artifact refining.

There was Flying Snow Peak, skilled in talismans.

There was Rising Sun Peak, skilled in sabre arts.

There was Flowing Light Peak, skilled in movement techniques.

And even Blazing Flame Peak, skilled in alchemy.

After everyone finished their introductions, Gu Qingshan appeared again.

“Since everyone has introduced themselves, I will now give Mo Fan time to consider.

“Coincidentally, the third day of next month is a good day to hold the Master Selection Ceremony. By then, Mo Fan will have more or less made up his mind and can officially enter the inner sect.”

Speaking of this, Gu Qingshan stroked his gray beard, looked at Mo Fan with a benevolent expression, and said,

“There is still some time until the Master Selection Ceremony.

“These next few days, you can continue to stay in the outer sect to handle your private matters, or you can directly follow this old man to Jade Void Peak and stay for a while. The specific choice is up to you.”

Mo Fan thought for a moment and replied, “This disciple still has some matters to attend to in the outer sect, so I’d like to continue staying in the outer sect for these few days.”

Gu Qingshan nodded: “Very well, then this old man will send you back now.”

With that, Gu Qingshan scanned the crowd: “You may all disperse. We will gather again at Jade Void Peak in five days.”

No one objected, and they all transformed into streaks of light, soaring into the sky and disappearing in an instant.

After everyone left, Gu Qingshan brought out a flying artifact, intending to send Mo Fan back.

Mo Fan smiled awkwardly and directly refused:

“No need for the Sect Master to trouble himself. It’s not far from here to the outer sect, this disciple can go back by myself.”

Gu Qingshan didn’t mind and nodded: “Very well.”

After thinking for a moment, he added: “If you have any requests, you can tell this old man.”

Mo Fan pondered for a moment and then directly said, “Can I still come to the Trial Pagoda in the future?”

Gu Qingshan immediately understood: “Yes, this old man will upgrade your access. From now on, you can come to the Trial Pagoda every day, and stay as long as you wish.”

The Trial Pagoda could support several people training simultaneously.

And there weren’t many people with the qualification to enter the Trial Pagoda, so very few people came.

Mo Yingying’s qualification to enter the Trial Pagoda was obtained by completing a trial mission.

Mo Fan’s qualification was arranged by Liu Xiyan.

According to the normal procedure, Mo Fan’s application to enter the pagoda would require multiple reviews and assessments, and it would likely be one or two months before the qualification was approved.

“Thank you, Sect Master!” Mo Fan was overjoyed.

This way, he could continue to freeload on formation source patterns and domain origins in the Trial Pagoda.

If he could comprehend all of these two things within the Trial Pagoda, he would probably defy the heavens in the future!

“Do you have any other requests?” Gu Qingshan asked again.

Mo Fan didn’t stand on ceremony and directly said, “Yes, I want to apply to go to the secret realm, is that possible?”

“After the Master Selection Ceremony, you will be a core disciple of the academy and should receive one opportunity to enter the secret realm.”

Counting on his fingers, Gu Qingshan continued, “By my reckoning, the secret realm should open again around the tenth of next month. I will make arrangements for you then.”

“Thank you, Sect Master!” Mo Fan thanked him… Returning discreetly to the outer sect, Mo Fan felt physically and mentally exhausted, wanting only to lie on his bed and be a slacker.

“While I still have time, I should visit the Sword Pavilion more often these days and properly guide Senior Sister Chu Qian.

“With my corrections, I’m sure her Sword Nurturing Art cultivation will be much easier.”

Smiling, Mo Fan began to envision his future.

“I’ll be a core inner sect disciple soon.

“After becoming a core inner sect disciple, whether it’s alchemy or formations, I’ll have easy access to them and can grow quickly.

“And the inner sect has abundant resources, making it easy to earn spirit stones.

“Now that I’ve comprehended fist intent, I probably won’t need much time to break through to Transcendent.

“I just don’t know which peak would be better to choose—

“Never mind, Yingying will be back in a couple of days. I’ll ask her then and let her give me some pointers.”

Mo Fan grinned, preparing to call and ask the girl when she would be back.

However, just then, his phone rang.

Looking at the number, Mo Fan answered the call.

Soon, Old Man Qin’s somewhat anxious voice rang out.

“You’ve struck it rich, Mo Fan, you’ve struck it rich!”

“Huh?” Mo Fan was bewildered.

Struck what rich?

Did someone else exchange for Vajra Fist?

But even if someone exchanged for Vajra Fist, one copy only earned 120 spirit stones. How could that make him rich?

Surely not dozens or hundreds of people would exchange for that thing at the same time, right?

Where would the outer sect find so many big spenders?
