Chapter 6: Heaven rewards diligence

"Ordinary spiritual medicines, my Snowfall Sect naturally does not lack, but the Opening Spirit Pill is different." The white-clad celestial envoy furrowed her brows and looked over with a gaze that seemed to say you truly do not know the heights of heaven and depths of earth: "I have already said, the Opening Spirit Pill is rare. To refine it, one must use more than a dozen kinds of rare herbs, and while the auxiliary herbs may be manageable, the two main ingredients are naturally formed from the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. How could they be so easily obtained? To refine it again, it is simply out of the question in a short time."

Now everyone has canceled the qualification for opening the spirit, and they cannot compare with the immortal families. They never expected that this inconspicuous fellow would climb above them, and naturally, their hearts were filled with extreme jealousy.

He merely waved his sleeve, casually casting a spell. With his movement, the sword light beneath his feet suddenly became bright, like a dazzling rainbow, swiftly flying towards the distance

Envy, jealousy, and hatred; their expressions as they looked at Qin Yan were still filled with resentment.

The expressions of everyone looking at him were filled with resentment and even malice

Fool

Upon hearing such a question, the white-clad celestial envoy wore a mocking smile on his face: "One who does not manage a household does not know the value of firewood and rice; refine some more, what an audacious remark!"

"Just because he was appointed by the elder." The white-clad celestial envoy's expression was indifferent

Delusional infatuation

... ...

Indeed, as you have said, this young man comes from a poor background, merely an inconsequential child of a humble family. However, it is precisely because of this that he has practiced the "Book of Seeking Immortality" without the aid of any elixirs, relying solely on his dedication and willpower to reach this point

Indeed, after much effort, we have successfully cultivated the "Seeking Immortal Manual" and have already been recognized by the Immortal Gate. Why should our qualifications be revoked for no reason? Even if there are difficulties, we can simply wait.

A trace of pity flashed in the eyes of the white-clad celestial envoy: "Do you think opening the spirit is a trivial matter? To speak frankly, this spirit-opening ceremony has prerequisites; one must be under the age of 18 to participate"

Everyone looked at each other in confusion, their faces pale with distress. The number of elixirs produced was twenty fewer than expected, while there were seventeen or eighteen people present. Clearly, the disciples born of mortals had been disqualified, whereas the young masters from immortal families and the young ladies from scholarly families were not significantly affected.

What will happen when one turns eighteen

A look of confusion is evident on someone's face

And this is not the end, as the voice of the white-clad celestial envoy continued to reach my ears: "Not only that, although you all passed the assessment, there are still differences in the depth of your internal energy, and this young man ranks among the top three in everyone's results."

Indeed, even if it takes a few years, I am willing to wait for the new elixir to be produced

The rest of the people were in an uproar, as if they had found an outlet for their emotions, speaking in a cacophony. In an instant, Qin Yan became the target of everyone's criticism.

What, is there no assistance from elixirs?

Clearly, it is their own lack of effort, yet they put on a face of deep grievance, as if Qin Yan has robbed them of their opportunity to cultivate immortality

... ...

If one exceeds the age of eighteen, the chances of manifesting an exceptional spiritual root will significantly decrease. No sect would take such a risk, so missing the opportunity means it is truly missed. One can only say that it is fate, and there is nothing to be done about it. Those of you who are wise should descend the mountain as soon as possible

It is no wonder that they feel uncomfortable. Although these individuals are also of mortal origin, they are either wealthy or noble. Aside from Xu Quan, who has a calm demeanor, the others originally looked down upon Qin Yan, the son of a poor family.

It's all right, we can make it, etc

Upon hearing the words of the white-clad celestial envoy, everyone except Xu Quan displayed expressions of astonishment, their faces revealing an air of incredulity

Elder's appointment

The fact remains that originally, due to insufficient fixed interest elixirs this time, the result of the elders' discussion was to revoke the qualifications of all mortal disciples. However, in the case of Qin Yan, the elders made an exception, and the reason for this is their appreciation of talent

Many people even muttered curses; they did not dare to offend the Immortal Sect, but they had little hesitation towards Qin Yan

Everyone was talking at once, and in a single sentence, no one was willing to give up this hard-earned opportunity for cultivation

"Not bad, he is also a mortal, so why?"

Everyone was rendered speechless

Shameless!

Go

Favoring one side over the other, they appeared somewhat powerless amidst their frustration. After all, the cultivation families were originally established by the disciples of the immortal sects and have always served as a bulwark for the sects. It can be said that both sides share in glory and suffer together in loss. Therefore, there have always been rules in the cultivation world, where the immortal sects prioritize the recruitment of disciples and the acquisition of resources for the disciples of cultivation families.

Fortunately, it is of no use; thus, the white-clad celestial envoy does not concern himself with how troubled or envious these individuals may feel. Informing them of the reasons and consequences, he has already done his utmost in terms of kindness and righteousness. As for whether these fellows are willing to accept it, that is entirely beyond his consideration.

They have endured considerable hardships from a young age in order to pass the assessment of the Immortal Gate. Each month, they need to spend over a thousand taels of gold to procure the most precious herbs for consumption. Despite this, every time they circulate their internal energy, it still feels worse than death. Yet, this young man has not relied on any external aids.

It is important to understand that whether it is fixed-interest pills or herbal medicine, they not only alleviate suffering but also provide significant benefits for cultivating internal energy

The expressions of the crowd remaining in place varied; some were dejected and confused, some were filled with anger, some were pounding their chests and stamping their feet, while others wore looks of defiance. However, at this moment, none of this could change anything.

However, to say that they can let it go is also impossible; they do not possess such magnanimity or grace. Even though they are aware that Qin Yan has made far greater efforts than they have to gain the favor of the immortal sect, understanding this principle in their hearts is one thing, while being willing to accept it is another.

I am not convinced, the elixir is insufficient, and we are disqualified. I have nothing to say, who made the rules of the cultivation world like this? But why does this kid have the right? He is just an ordinary person, and a poor one at that. Why has he not been disqualified?" A chubby boy dressed in silk spoke up, his face filled with indignation.

... ...

Is there a mistake? Is this still a human being? How did he endure the pain akin to being devoured by thousands of ants?

What is there to be concerned about? Could it be that with the capabilities of the Immortal Sect, they cannot accomplish such a trivial matter? It is merely a few spiritual pills and miraculous medicines. The faces of the young men displayed a clear sense of skepticism, evidently believing that the other party was intentionally evading responsibility.

No one has anything to say

Naked jealousy

Is it true or not

This young man, without borrowing any external resources, achieves remarkably good results, which is no surprise that the immortal sect would regard him with special favor

On what basis?

Indeed, the sect prioritizes selecting disciples from families of cultivators; however, when they encounter exceptional talents, they are also reluctant to let them slip away easily. Clearly, the efforts and achievements demonstrated by Qin Yan have moved them, which is why we see the outcome of today.
