Chapter 67: Temporarily Rejecting the Elders
Su Lingxi, who was bathed in the celestial phenomenon, stretched after completing her breakthrough. She retracted her spirit gates.
The light emitted by the Spirit Gate Bell also slowly dissipated and returned to calm.
Only then did she look up and see that the five elders were already standing there, as if they had been there for a long time.
Su Lingxi was a little terrified. She had only seen the Fifth Elder among them.
But with years of experience, she guessed that the remaining few were probably also elders.
So she hurriedly bowed. “Disciple Su Lingxi greets the elders.”
The several elders smiled at each other, and their gazes towards Su Lingxi also became loving.
The Great Elder was the first to speak. “Hehe, Su Lingxi, you are truly the biggest surprise of our Snowfall Sect.”
“Only one person in our Snowfall Sect has ever had four spirit gates. Do you know who it is?”
Su Lingxi shook her head. “I don’t know…”
“That is our Snowfall Sect’s Sect Master, Jiang Xianyue, a peak Mahayana realm expert who achieved it in less than fifty years.”
“And you, Su Lingxi… not only do you have four innate spirit gates, but you also have two spirit gate phantoms. Such talent is extremely rare in the entire continent.”
The Great Elder’s words were not false, and the other elders also expressed their agreement.
“Thank you, elders, for your praise!” Su Lingxi bowed in return.
“But such a genius definitely needs a perfect teacher to guide your cultivation. Before you, I have already cultivated an excellent three-spirit-gate genius.”
With that, the Great Elder looked at Luo Yunxuan.
“Luo Yunxuan, with three innate spirit gates, is already at the peak of the Nascent Soul realm at around thirty years old. This is on the premise of a solid foundation, otherwise he would have broken through to the Soul Formation realm long ago.”
“Before you, besides Luo Chuxue, he is the only one in the Canglan Nation who can reach Luo Yunxuan’s cultivation at the age of thirty!”
The Great Elder smiled, his intention already very clear.
“With Luo Yunxuan as an example, if you become my disciple, your cultivation and achievements in the future will not be inferior to the Sect Master’s.”
Hearing the Great Elder’s words, the group of disciples below gasped.
What level was the Sect Master? She was one of the few Mahayana realm experts in the Canglan Nation. Although she was not the strongest in the Mahayana realm, she was the youngest.
Young… meant unlimited potential.
The status and power that a Mahayana realm expert possessed in the Mortal Realm were far beyond your imagination.
At this time, an untimely voice interrupted, “Great Elder, isn’t it a bit too early to say that? Who doesn’t know that Luo Yunxuan has enjoyed top-tier resources since he was a child, plus his three innate spirit gates.”
“Even if he had two spirit gates, he would probably have reached the Nascent Soul realm long ago under my tutelage.”
The speaker was the Second Elder. He was the youngest among the elders, but his strength had already reached the peak of the Body Integration realm.
With that, the Second Elder bent down and casually slapped the Spirit Gate Bell. Instantly, three spirit gates and two spirit gate phantoms were displayed.
This was the first time Su Lingxi had seen the spirit gate talent of someone in the position of an elder. The Second Elder’s talent was considered high among the five elders.
That was why he was so young.
“Su Lingxi, a genius knows a genius best. But a genius also has his own cultivation method.”
“Are you willing to cultivate with this group of old men, or do you want to follow me?” the Second Elder smiled.
Good heavens… Su Lingxi understood. These elders wanted her to choose.
“Don’t listen to the Second Elder’s nonsense. It’s true that he’s young, but he might not be the most suitable for you.”
The speaker was the Third Elder. He circulated his spiritual energy, and an ice lotus appeared in his left hand, and a water flower in his right.
“Su Lingxi, I have long since sensed that you have both ice and water elements in your body. If you want to cultivate both elements at the same time, I am undoubtedly the most suitable for you.”
“Besides some old monsters from the Canglan imperial family, I am the most proficient in these two elements.”
“Do you know that mastering multiple elemental powers undoubtedly gives you an extra means in battle, and can even achieve a surprise victory at a critical moment!”
When the Third Elder spoke, his eyes revealed a desire for a talent like Su Lingxi.
Back then, Luo Yunxuan had chosen the Great Elder instead of him. At that time, he had regretted it for more than half a year.
He still hadn’t completely let it go.
He could not let go of a top-tier genius like Su Lingxi.
The Fourth Elder smiled slightly. He did not have the intention of taking such a talented disciple under his tutelage.
He was already old and no longer had the energy to accept new disciples.
What’s more, a genius like Su Lingxi would only waste her talent by following him. And he also had to take care of his granddaughter.
He immediately said, “Su Lingxi, the Great Elder, the Second Elder, and the Third Elder are all not bad. You can consider them as you see fit.”
“As for the Fifth Elder…”
The Fourth Elder looked at the Fifth Elder.
The Fifth Elder’s face was already flushed, and there was even a little shame on his old face.
He felt that he had lived his life in vain, and had almost let a genius slip through his fingers.
Although he also longed for young and talented disciples, a genius like Su Lingxi was still too eye-catching.
His ability was limited.
At this thought, he immediately waved his hand. “I am not worthy to be the master of such a genius. Su Lingxi… I agree with the Fourth Elder’s words.”
“You can choose one of the first three elders.”
The several elders had all expressed their attitude. It was up to Su Lingxi to choose.
To be honest, Su Lingxi hadn’t expected to attract so many high-ranking elders.
In fact, she had no intention of choosing any elder. She just needed to enter the inner court to complete her mission.
Just now, Xiao Bai had already reminded her that the mission was half completed. After obtaining the last four levels of the Ice Heart Art, she would get two thousand points.
Besides, she couldn’t stay in the Snowfall Sect forever.
If she entered an elder’s tutelage, it would be difficult to leave then.
And refusing in public would also embarrass the several elders.
After some deliberation, Su Lingxi still said tactfully, “Thank you, elders, for your kindness. Can this disciple enter the inner court and consider it for a while…”
Hearing this, the several elders were not angry.
The Great Elder smiled. “In that case, then you can consider it. This is also a major event in your life.”
Even if the Second and Third Elders were anxious, they did not say much more and agreed with the Great Elder’s idea.
Seeing that the matter had come to a conclusion, the Fifth Elder immediately announced, “This sect test is over!”
With that, the five elders had already flown away.
After this sect test, Su Lingxi had undoubtedly become the focus of the entire sect.
Su Lingxi took a deep breath. It was really uncomfortable to be stared at by five elders just now.
“By the way, I should discuss these things with Chuxue…”
“Eh? Where did Chuxue go?”
