31: You call this a useless body? This is clearly an ancient sacred body!

The people from Taiyi Holy Land ran away dejectedly.

They didn't even dare to claim that garishly ostentatious Nine Dragons Agarwood Chariot, immediately tearing open the Void Realm to escape.

Before leaving, that Peak Nascent Soul Third Elder "voluntarily" left his Storage Ring, claiming it was "compensation for emotional distress."

Li Daoxuan expressed great satisfaction with this.

"These people from Central Continent are much more polite than those bumpkins from the Eastern Barrens."

He weighed the heavy ring in his hand, feeling greatly pleased.

With this "sponsorship," the Hidden God Sect's food expenses for the next year were finally settled.

"Revered Master is mighty!"

"Revered Master is dominant!"

Xiao Chen and Shi Tian crowded around, their eyes sparkling, showering him with deafening flattery.

Although Leng Yanran didn't speak, her cold eyes were also filled with admiration.

Suppressing a Peak Nascent Soul with a single word.

What kind of Divine Might was this?

Revered Master's power had once again refreshed the upper limits of their understanding.

"Alright, stop flattering me."

Li Daoxuan waved his hand and tossed the ring to Xiao Chen. "Divide the contents among yourselves. It's all Trash, I have no use for it."

Having said that, he turned and walked toward the Main Hall, preparing to go back and catch up on sleep.

However.

He hadn't taken two steps yet.

"Ding!"

That familiar mechanical prompt sounded in his mind again.

[Random Mission Triggered!]

[A target with A+ level great Luck has been detected at the foot of the Sect mountain!]

[This target possesses a special Physique, is currently at a low point in life, and urgently requires the Host to use their Wisdom Eye to recognize talent and offer assistance!]

[Mission Reward: To be assessed based on the result of accepting the Disciple.]

Again?

Li Daoxuan paused his steps, raising an eyebrow.

Is this System treating him like a "Wretched Soul Recycling Center"?

Why does it keep picking up people who have been dumped, had their bones dug out, or are being hunted down?

Can't it send someone normal?

For example, a rich second generation like a Holy Land Divine Son or an Imperial Dynasty Crown Prince?

That way, he wouldn't even need to give out beginner gear; he could just fleece them directly.

Although he complained internally, Li Daoxuan’s body was very honest.

A+ level.

Although it couldn't compare to Leng Yanran's SSS+ abnormality, it was still higher than Xiao Chen and Shi Tian.

This kind of potential stock is hard to come by.

"Let's go, we'll take a stroll down the mountain."

Li Daoxuan waved his hand, and taking his three Disciples who were still immersed in the joy of splitting the spoils, they leisurely walked down the mountain... At the foot of Hidden God Sect's mountain.

This place was originally desolate land.

But ever since the Hidden God Sect's reputation (notorious reputation) spread, this place had become quite lively.

Many Loose Cultivators who had nowhere else to go, or who had been rejected by major Sects, held a sliver of hope and wanted to try their Luck here.

What if this mysterious Sect truly accepted talent without sticking to conventions?

At this moment, under the Crooked-Neck Tree in front of the mountain gate.

A young man was kneeling there.

He looked about seventeen or eighteen years old, wearing a faded Blue Long Gown. Although he looked disheveled, his back was straight, and his eyes were clear black and white, revealing an unyielding stubbornness.

Surrounding him was a group of Loose Cultivators watching the spectacle, pointing and whispering.

"Hey, isn't that the kid named Ye Fan?"

"Yeah, I heard he's been kneeling here for three days and three nights."

"It's useless. His Physique is too wicked. His Dantian is like a bottomless pit; he can't gather Qi at all. Which Sect would dare accept him?"

"Exactly. A naturally Wasted Physique, the most useless Physique in the Cultivation World. Why is he still dreaming? He should just go home and farm."

Ye Fan listened to the surrounding mockery, tightly pursing his lips, his fingernails digging deep into his palms.

Wasted Physique.

Those two words again.

From the day he set foot on the Path of Cultivation, these two words became his label, following him like a shadow.

He had visited over a dozen Sects. Without exception, the moment his Physique was tested, they threw him out like garbage.

The Hidden God Sect was his last hope.

If even this mysterious Sect, rumored to be capable of subduing a hundred thousand strong army, didn't want him... then he truly would have nowhere left to go.

Just as Ye Fan’s heart was filled with despair.

A faint sound of footsteps approached.

"Why is everyone gathered here?"

"Are you having a tea party?"

Everyone turned their heads and saw a Youth in White Robes leading three young people slowly descending the mountain.

That young man was more handsome than an Exiled Immortal from the Nine Heavens, and his temperament was ethereal and transcendent, making anyone who saw him feel ashamed of their own appearance.

"It's someone from the Hidden God Sect!"

"The one in white robes must be the legendary Sect Master Li Daoxuan!"

The crowd instantly stirred.

Li Daoxuan ignored the gazes of reverence.

His gaze passed directly through the crowd and landed on the young man kneeling under the tree.

[Name: Ye Fan]

[Bone Age: Eighteen]

[Realm: None (Mortal)]

[Fate: Son of Destiny (Unactivated), Potential for Great Emperor]

[Special Physique: Archaic Sacred Body (Unawakened)]

[Assessment: This Physique is rejected by the Heavenly Dao in the current era, making the Path of Cultivation ten thousand times harder, hence it is called "Wasted Physique." But if the shackles can be broken, upon Major Achievement, he can challenge Great Emperors and sweep across the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands!]

Li Daoxuan's breathing suddenly hitched the moment he saw the four characters "Archaic Sacred Body."

Immediately following that.

Was uncontrollable ecstasy!

Holy crap!

Archaic Sacred Body?!

How is this a Wasted Physique?

This is clearly a Late Stage invincible Super MT (Meat Shield) plus DPS (Damage Per Second)!

He can fight and endure, with high HP and high defense, fighting battles as if he had activated a health lock cheat.

You call this kind of premium character Trash?

You are simply blind! Wasting heavenly resources!

"Ahem."

Li Daoxuan forcefully suppressed the excitement in his heart, striving to maintain the indifferent persona of a profound expert.

He slowly walked up to Ye Fan, looking down at him.

"You wish to become my Disciple?"

Ye Fan suddenly looked up, and seeing Li Daoxuan's eyes as deep as the starry sky, his heart pounded wildly.

He could feel that the gaze of the person before him was completely different from those Sect Elders before.

There was no scorn, no mockery.

Only a kind of... calmness that saw through everything.

"Yes!"

Ye Fan nodded heavily, his voice hoarse but firm.

"Junior Ye Fan begs Senior to accept me as a Disciple!"

"Even if it's just to be a Handyman, Junior is willing!"

The surrounding Loose Cultivators all laughed.

"Handyman? Even the Sect's guard dog is a Demon Emperor. Why would a Mortal like you go in? To shovel dog poop?"

"Exactly, stop daydreaming. How could Sect Master Li accept a Wasted Physique like you?"

Li Daoxuan did not speak.

He extended a finger and lightly touched Ye Fan's Glabella.

A strand of pure Spiritual Qi probed into Ye Fan's body.

Sure enough.

The Dantian was like a Sea of Bitterness, vast and boundless, yet filled with Death Qi.

The Meridians were incredibly tough, but they were bound as if by Divine Gold Chains, unable to circulate even a trace of Spiritual Qi.

This was the shackles of the Archaic Sacred Body.

"A bit interesting."

Li Daoxuan withdrew his finger, a playful curve appearing at the corner of his mouth.

He turned around, facing everyone present who was watching the spectacle, as well as the Loose Cultivators waiting to mock Ye Fan.

Then.

He announced in a plain yet undeniably clear voice:

"This child."

"My Hidden God Sect accepts him."

Silence.

A deathly silence.

Everyone's laughter was stuck in their throats, their expressions as if they had seen a ghost.

Accept... accepted him?

Accepting a universally recognized Wasted Physique as a Disciple?

Has this Hidden God Sect Revered Master gone mad? Or can he simply not discern this young man's Physique?

Ye Fan, kneeling on the ground, felt as if he had been struck by lightning, completely stunned.

He stared blankly upward, looking at that snow-white robed figure, his eyes instantly turning red.

Accepted?

When I was abandoned by the entire world... when I was about to give up on myself... someone... is actually willing to accept me?

An indescribable warm current instantly surged through his entire body.

It was the emotion of being acknowledged.

It was the ecstasy of seeing hope amid despair.

"Senior... Y-you... are you serious?" Ye Fan's voice trembled, afraid this was a hallucination.

"Of course."

Li Daoxuan turned around and patted his shoulder.

"However, not as a Handyman."

"From today onward, you are the fourth Personal Disciple of my Hidden God Sect."

"How about it? Are you willing?"

"Willing! This Disciple is willing!!"

Ye Fan couldn't hold back anymore and heavily kowtowed, his forehead hitting the hard stone slab with a muffled sound.

"Disciple Ye Fan greets Revered Master!"

"In this life and this lifetime, I swear to brave any danger for Revered Master, even if it means ten thousand deaths!"

The surrounding Loose Cultivators, watching this touching scene of accepting a Disciple, were instead filled with contempt and ridicule.

"Tsk tsk, he really accepted him."

"It seems this Hidden God Sect isn't some Immortal Sect; it's just a junk collector."

"Yeah, one who was dumped, one whose bones were dug out, and now another naturally Wasted Physique. This Sect... is doomed sooner or later."

"Let's go, there's nothing left to see."

The crowd gradually dispersed.

Li Daoxuan listened to the gossip. Instead of getting angry, he sneered inwardly.

A junk collector?

Useless people?

How could you group of Common Mortals know.

I am not collecting junk.

What I am accepting is a God... capable of overturning the entire world in the future!

"Wait until this kid's Sacred Body reaches Major Achievement, and his golden fists smash your dog heads."

"I'll see if you can still manage to laugh."

Li Daoxuan looked at Ye Fan, who was still excitedly kowtowing on the ground, his eyes filled with anticipation.

"Get up, Fourth Disciple."

"From now on, do not kneel to heaven, earth, or parents."

"Having followed me as your Revered Master, no one in heaven or on earth is qualified to make you kneel again."

"Let's go, return to the Sect."

"Your Revered Master is in a good mood today, so I will cook personally and make you a good meal."
