In a simulated life scenario, how do you defy fate and change your destiny every time?

Chapter 483 Eighth Generation: When in doubt, consult the Supreme One!

"A true disciple of a sect?"

Upon hearing these four words, Lu Yuan's expression shifted slightly.

As far as he knows.

The status and treatment of true disciples are even more generous than those of many inner sect elders, and they don't need to worry about cultivation resources at all.

However, true disciples are extremely rare. Usually, only those who have made outstanding contributions to the sect or those with exceptional talent are qualified to become true disciples of the sect!

Upon hearing this, the other Qingyun Sect disciples looked at Lu Yuan with immense envy.

Within the Qingyun Sect, true disciples hold an extremely prestigious position, enjoying not only various preferential treatments but also being potential candidates for the next sect leader or hall master.

If Lu Yuan could become a true disciple of the sect, it would be like ascending to heaven in one step!
"With your words of advice, senior, I am relieved."

A relieved smile appeared on Lu Yuan's face.

In fact, he was not worried about the Tai Xuan Sect's retaliation.

Anyway, we'll deal with whatever comes our way. If the Tai Xuan Sect dares to openly confront him, then who knows who will retaliate against whom?

The reason he pretended to be so scared was simply to take this opportunity to gain more benefits from the Qingyun Sect.

The great battle is over, but there are still many things to deal with.

After exchanging a few pleasantries with Lu Yuan, Li Nianchen led the other disciples to begin clearing out the casualties and lost supplies.

Lu Yuan volunteered to handle the corpses of the Black Tiger Stronghold bandits.

He walked to Dong Ruonan's body, picked up the two battle axes and put them aside, then carefully searched the area and successfully found a storage bag and a few miscellaneous amulets.

Subsequently.

He then searched Lin Hu and the bandits of Black Tiger Stronghold one by one, and went to Black Tiger Stronghold again to take everything from the underground vault before finally returning to the Qingyun Sect team with satisfaction.

Seeing this, Li Nianchen and the other disciples did not say anything.

After all, Lu Yuan saved their lives, and these spoils of war should rightfully belong to Lu Yuan.

However, in order to win people's hearts and establish a good reputation, Lu Yuan still took out the gold and silver jewelry and low-level weapons that he didn't need and distributed them to everyone present.

"Thank you very much, Senior Brother Lu Yuan!"

"Senior Brother Lu Yuan is selfless, chivalrous, and truly a good person!"

The other disciples were overjoyed and immediately expressed their gratitude.

Even if Lu Yuan ate alone, they wouldn't dare say anything; at most, they would feel some dissatisfaction.

However, Lu Yuan's actions directly dispelled everyone's dissatisfaction, elevating his prestige in the eyes of the people to a whole new level.

"Knowing when to advance and retreat, understanding how to make choices, and being decisive in crucial moments, this young man has a limitless future."

Seeing all this, Li Nianchen nodded slightly, inwardly praising Lu Yuan.

Many geniuses, despite their excellent talent, often become arrogant and disdainful of others, making it difficult for them to go very far.

On the contrary, it is people like Lu Yuan, who are powerful and know how to navigate social situations, who can be successful in all aspects and reach higher levels.

Something happened here.

The Qingyun Sect's caravan regrouped and finally arrived at the sect two days later.

at the same time.

The news of the sect's convoy being attacked, and Lu Yuan killing Lin Hu and Dong Ruonan, also reached the sect immediately, causing a huge uproar.

Who is Lin Hu?

This was the top inner disciple of the Tai Xuan Sect back then; his strength and talent were not to be underestimated.

Moreover, although he was expelled from the Tai Xuan Sect, he has gathered a large number of desperados over the years and built Black Tiger Stronghold into an impregnable fortress.

The annual toll fees alone amount to an astronomical figure, causing the Qingyun Sect to suffer considerable losses.

Yet this powerful figure died at the hands of an unknown outer disciple of the Qingyun Sect.
When the Qingyun Sect Master learned of this news, he was deeply shocked and immediately summoned several hall masters to discuss the matter.

The main hall of the sect.

The five hall masters and two peak masters gathered together.

Before them stood a man in a black robe with slightly graying temples, his hands behind his back, exuding a powerful aura.

He was reserved, yet possessed an imposing aura that commanded respect without anger.

Not to mention Spirit Sea Realm warriors, even powerful Soul Palace Realm experts would be trembling in fear before him, not daring to even breathe loudly.

Because this person is the current sect leader of the Qingyun Sect.

Han Qingxuan!
"I believe everyone is already aware of the ins and outs of this matter, so I will not go into details."

"According to the sect's rules, anyone who makes a significant contribution is qualified to be directly promoted to a true disciple."

"However, this matter is of great importance. At least five of the three peaks and five halls need to agree. It is by no means something that I alone can decide. I wonder what the hall masters think?"

Han Qingxuan spoke in a low, calm voice.

“I agree. Lu Yuan is the orphan of a disciple of my sect. His parents sacrificed themselves for the sect. They are a family of loyal martyrs.”

"He worked as a handyman in my weapon-refining hall for many years. He has a clean and reliable background and a calm and steady personality."

"Now that he has made great contributions, he should be promoted to a true disciple."

After pondering for a moment, Zhou Xiong, the master of the weapon refining hall, raised his hand in agreement.

"Since he is the last descendant of my Qingyun Sect, he should be rewarded according to his merits."

Han Qingxuan nodded slightly, then looked around at the other hall masters and asked again.

"Gentlemen, what are your opinions?"

"I did have a brief encounter with this young man when he was promoted to an outer disciple."

The master of the Transmission Hall picked up the gourd, took a big gulp of fine wine, let out a burp, and then spoke slowly.

“He has good talent and already has his own understanding of martial arts. Whether from the perspective of aptitude or other aspects, he is indeed qualified to be promoted to a true disciple.”

Upon hearing this, the other hall masters' expressions shifted slightly. They hadn't expected that the Transmission Hall Master, who was usually indifferent to worldly affairs, would give Lu Yuan such a high evaluation.

You should know that the Master of the Transmission Hall is a heavy drinker. He is drunk all day long, and even if his backside is on fire, he can continue drinking as if nothing is wrong.

In the past, when other disciples were promoted to true disciples, he always acted as if it were none of his business and rarely spoke.

"Even the old drunkard, the Master of the Transmission Hall, has taken the initiative to express his opinion. It seems that Lu Yuan is indeed a promising talent."

The head of the alchemy hall couldn't help but ponder to himself.

However, just as everyone was slightly favoring Lu Yuan, an old man with fierce eyes and a strong aura of killing intent suddenly spoke up.

"Lu Yuan has made great contributions to the sect and should certainly be rewarded."

"But the spots for true disciples are too precious. I feel it would be inappropriate to just give them to an outer disciple."

He wore a dark red blood-red robe, exuding a murderous aura, like a demon crawling out of a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood.

An ordinary person would be terrified at just one glance and have nightmares for several nights in a row!
When the other hall masters saw this person appear, their expressions changed slightly, and they felt somewhat uneasy.

Because this person is the head of the Enforcement Hall, severe punishment!

The Enforcement Hall is a vital institution of the sect, responsible for punishing disciples who have committed serious offenses or hunting down traitors to the sect.

It can be said.

Among the Three Peaks and Five Courts, the Law Enforcement Hall holds a position second only to the Main Peak and the Supreme Peak.

Yan Xing was a ruthless and decisive man.

Under his influence, the Enforcement Hall has become increasingly ruthless in recent years. Many ordinary disciples tremble with fear just hearing the words "Enforcement Hall."

Now, his words have instantly changed the entire situation.

"Elder Yan is right. Although Lu Yuan has made great contributions, his aptitude is still too shallow. He needs to hone his skills for a few more years before he is qualified to be promoted to a true disciple of the sect."

The head of the Talisman Making Hall immediately chimed in agreement.

“That’s right. True disciples value strength and talent more. Lu Yuan is only at the first level of the Spirit Sea Realm. If he becomes a true disciple of the sect, I’m afraid he will not be able to win people’s respect in the future.”

The Beast Taming Peak Master nodded, agreeing that this action was somewhat inappropriate.

"What do you mean by 'unconvincing'? Last year, your Beast Taming Peak actually made a person with connections become a true disciple of the sect. Do you think that will convince everyone?"

Seeing this, the head of the weapon refining hall sneered and mocked without any politeness.

Having spent hundreds of years in the Qingyun Sect, he was well aware of what Yan Xing and the others were up to.

Yan Xing is extremely ambitious and controls the Law Enforcement Hall, a powerful institution. He is virtually the only one who can be trusted within the Qingyun Sect, and even the sect leader can't do anything about him.

The reason they opposed it was simply because they were in cahoots and wanted their own disciple to become the sect's true successor.

Then they gradually take control of the sect's affairs, thereby undermining or seizing the position of sect leader.

However, compared to the outspoken Zhou Xiong, the Qingyun Sect Master Han Qingxuan remained calm and composed, showing no particular interest in the matter.

He ignored the argument between Beast Taming Peak and Zhou Xiong, and instead turned to look at an elderly Taoist priest sitting in a grand chair, his eyes lowered and meditating.

"Elder, I don't understand what you mean..."

Han Qingxuan asked in a low voice, his tone carrying a hint of respect.

There has always been an unwritten rule among all the high-ranking members of the Qingyun Sect.

When in doubt, one can consult the Supreme Being.

The two characters "太上" refer to both the Supreme Peak and the Supreme Elders within it.

Because in the Qingyun Sect, only Nirvana Realm experts are qualified to become Supreme Elders.

They hold a prestigious position and their word carries immense weight; they can determine the rise and fall of a sect!
Therefore, whenever there are major controversies in the Qingyun Sect, the final decision is always made by the Supreme Peak.

“Yan Xing’s words are not without reason. Lu Yuan is only an outer disciple, and his foundation and experience are too shallow.”

"If we allow him to rise to the top in one step, it will not only cause dissatisfaction among many disciples, but it will also make him complacent and hinder his future path."

The old man in the Taoist robe opened his eyes a crack, his voice low and hoarse, yet carrying an undeniable domineering air.

"Of course, Lu Yuan has made great contributions to the sect this time, and he should be rewarded accordingly. We cannot let the disciples feel disheartened."

"In my opinion, since Lu Yuan was able to kill Lin Hu, let him participate in this inner sect competition. If he can win first place in this competition, let him be promoted to a true disciple."

After the old man in the Taoist robe finished speaking, he closed his eyes again, as if he had fallen into a light sleep.

But Zhou Xiong's expression turned extremely ugly upon hearing this.

The old man in the Taoist robe may have acted justly and selflessly, but in reality, his behavior was quite unseemly.

Because the winner of each Inner Sect Grand Competition is entitled to be promoted to True Disciple.

If Lu Yuan can win first place in the inner sect competition, then what's the point of giving him a reward?
This is clearly bullying!
However, this matter concerns the struggle between the Enforcement Hall and the main peak lineage, and even the hall masters themselves cannot change anything, so they can only let it be.

“The Supreme Elder is absolutely right.”

Yan Xing smiled slightly upon hearing these words.

The inner disciples are powerful, including not only those at the ninth level of the Spirit Sea realm, but also several prodigies who have already entered the first level of the Soul Palace realm.

Although Lu Yuan was able to kill Lin Hu, he was at most at the first level of the Spirit Sea Realm. How could he be a match for a Soul Palace Realm expert?

When the time comes, won't it be up to him to decide who gets the right to be the true disciple?

"Since both the Master of the Strict Punishments Hall and the Supreme Elder strongly advocate this method, then let's proceed accordingly."

Han Qingxuan nodded calmly, without uttering any objection.

However, just when Yan Xing and the old man in the Taoist robe thought the matter was settled, Han Qingxuan changed the subject and proposed other conditions.

"The right to receive the true teachings is of utmost importance and should not be given to others lightly."

"But Lu Yuan has rendered meritorious service to the sect and must be richly rewarded. I presume that Master Yan Xing should have no objection to this?"

Han Qingxuan glanced at Yan Xing and said in an unquestionable manner.

"This matter can be decided by the sect leader."

Sensing the dissatisfaction in the other party's tone, Yan Xing was unwilling to directly confront them and could only reluctantly respond.

After the discussion ended, everyone gradually dispersed.

And the other side.

As soon as Lu Yuan returned to the sect, he saw a tall woman waiting at the mountain gate.

The woman was tall and slender, dressed smartly, with a long ponytail and a touch of heroism between her brows.

When she saw Lu Yuan, she immediately took a few long, slender steps and walked towards him.

"This must be Junior Brother Lu Yuan, right?"

“My name is Luo Xin, and I am the sect leader’s third disciple. You have made a great contribution this time, and the sect leader specifically ordered me to wait here and take you to receive your reward.”

The woman said decisively.

"Greetings, Senior Sister Luo Xin."

Lu Yuan's expression shifted slightly, and he immediately cupped his hands in a fist salute.

Because he could sense that although Luo Xin's aura was not obvious, she looked almost like a young lady from a noble family.

But in fact.

She was full of energy, with bright and piercing eyes, clearly a genuine Soul Palace Realm expert.

Moreover, she looks very young, not much older than Lu Yuan, which shows just how extraordinary her talent is.

"No need to be so formal. I'm also very interested to see who this person who can kill Lin Hu is."

"Now that I see it, it is indeed well-deserved."

Luo Xin carefully examined Lu Yuan for a few moments, clicking her tongue in amazement.

As a disciple personally taught by the sect leader, she had seen many geniuses and had sparred with prodigies from other sects on numerous occasions.

But Lu Yuan was like an elusive fog; though he stood right in front of her, he seemed unattainable.

You should know that she only feels this way when she is facing the sect leader or other supreme elders!

"This junior brother is extraordinary; it seems he also has a great opportunity and destiny."

"Unfortunately, he was unlucky and got caught up in the struggle between the main peak and the Enforcement Hall at this crucial moment."

Luo Xin shook her head, feeling very sorry.

"However, judging from the way Master looked so distressed earlier, he must have taken out quite a few good things, so perhaps we can still salvage the situation."

Think of this.

She waved her hand and immediately led Lu Yuan toward the main peak.

"Let's go, I'll take you to collect your reward."

"Then I'll have to trouble you, Senior Sister."

Lu Yuan's spirits lifted, and he immediately hurried to catch up.
