Chapter 898 Registered Disciple
Lei Jingxiang shook his head and interrupted:

“The Strange Flame already belongs to True Venerable Ranxi, and its origin is traceable. If she has inherited Lei Hongxuan’s mantle, then she must have the complete cultivation technique. We have absolutely no advantage.”

Lei Jingxiang's words silenced the hall. After a moment, the Grand Elder sighed and said:

"Then what should we do appropriately?"

Lei Jingxiang then replied:
"We, the Lei family, will do what other sects and families do and maintain friendly relations. Perhaps, True Venerable Ranxi will consider the cultivation technique we obtained and use the matter of the immortal bone to settle our karmic debt with the Lei family."

But we cannot force it, because from beginning to end, apart from the strange fire, True Venerable Ranxi has never used the "Peerless Sword Thunder Technique." All cultivators who have fought or cooperated with Ranxi know that her offensive weapon is a long black staff, her defensive magic item is an umbrella, her hidden weapon is ice needles, and she cultivates ice-based techniques, rarely using swordsmanship. Do you think the Lei family can possibly establish a relationship with True Venerable based on these two things?

After hearing Lei Jingxiang's overly blunt analysis, the Lei family members fell silent. At this point, they had to admit that the Lei family had declined and that their approach to solving problems was somewhat naive.

The Grand Elder sighed and said:

“Jing Xiang is right. Let’s do as he says. Send someone to find out where Wan Qian is. She disappeared in the Ghost Realm. Before she disappeared, she was with the disciples of the Haoran Sect. This might be an opportunity.”

Lei Jingxiang sighed inwardly. He naturally knew what the elder meant by "opportunity." He simply nodded. In any case, Wan Qian was an outstanding disciple cultivated by the Lei family. It was impossible to let her disappear without a trace. So he accepted the mission and left the Lei family with Lei Wanjun and Lei Wanlu.

Having been reprimanded by Yunxi, Lei Wanjun is now much more composed. The arrogance of "I am an elite disciple of a great cultivation family" is gone from his face, and he has become much more silent. When he learned that he was going to find his clanswoman Wan Qian, he agreed without hesitation.

Lei Jingxiang decided to first go to the place where Lei Wanqian last appeared in the Ghost Realm to see if he could find any useful clues, and then look for the Haoran Sect disciples who had interacted with Wanqian. Following this line of investigation, he was sure he could find something useful.

Yunxi was unaware that she was about to receive even more visitors. She had just finished her tour of the inner sect and accepted ten nominal disciples, five men and five women. She then took the ten lucky ones to the Disciple Hall to register them, changed their identity jade tokens, and brought them into Lingxue Peak.

Yunxi didn't just casually accept disciples. These ten were carefully selected by her. After she came out of seclusion, she went to the "Hive" and checked all the inner disciples who had any of the three spiritual roots: lightning, ice, or wind. After removing those who had already become disciples, she further screened the remaining disciples, trying to select those who had followed the Haoran Sect since the Weiyu Realm.

Then, she silently observed them for a period of time, learning about their cultivation progress, their learning of the four arts of cultivation, their completion of sect missions, and finally, their character and the friends they associated with. Of course, she also had Li Li take a look to make sure that the disciples she had taken in were not puppets of evil cultivators before finally selecting these ten people.

After the candidate was chosen, she informed Haohui first, which surprised Haohui somewhat:
"I didn't expect you to beat me to it this time. I haven't even taken on half a disciple, and you've taken on ten in one go. Can you manage to teach them all?"

Yun Xi chuckled and said:

"The master leads you through the door, but the cultivation is up to you. I only need to control the general direction and teach according to your aptitude. The rest is up to them. I have given them the opportunity; whether they can seize it is up to them."

Most importantly, Lingxue Peak is too desolate. After my master and I ascend to immortality, I fear the Lingxue Peak's lineage will be severed.

Hao Hui nodded and said, "Okay, it's good that you have a plan, but don't have too high expectations. After all, not everyone has your luck and cultivation speed."

After Yunxi nodded in agreement, she began to take action. Taking on disciples was a matter of mutual consent. If a disciple she favored did not want to join Lingxue Peak, or had a master she preferred, she would not force him.

However, because of her great reputation and her status as a confirmed ascendant cultivator, when she asked to take on disciples, all ten disciples agreed without hesitation. They moved into Lingxue Peak the next day and became the lucky ones in the eyes of the sect disciples, which was discussed for a long time.

Yunxi looked at the ten disciples standing before her, each with different appearances, temperaments, and cultivation levels, and smiled with satisfaction before speaking:
"You ten are disciples carefully selected by me. The reason I did not directly accept you as my personal disciples is that I wanted to test you further. Only those who pass the test can become my personal disciples."

However, let me make this clear from the start: on Lingxue Peak, the ten of you are fellow disciples. Even if you compete, you must do so openly and fairly. If I find out that you have used any underhanded means to secure a place as a direct disciple, I will not only revoke your registered disciple status but also expel you from Lingxue Peak. Do you understand?

Upon hearing this, the ten men's expressions tightened, and they immediately bowed respectfully in reply:
"Yes, Master."

They knew very well that even being a nominal disciple of the Great Vehicle True Venerable would bring them many benefits, not to mention the opportunity to compete for the position of personal disciple. Their starting point was already superior to others.

After all, it was healthy competition among the ten people. If they were not as skilled as others, they would naturally have to accept it. At worst, they could keep their status as registered disciples. As long as they could stay in Lingxue Peak, they could receive guidance from the True Venerable at any time, which would definitely benefit them immensely. After thinking it through, they agreed even more readily.

Yunxi nodded in satisfaction, then tossed out ten jade slips, one for each person, before giving the order:
"You have one month to gather all the spiritual plants listed in the jade slip. It's best if you find these plants yourself or exchange them using your sect points. I will not accept spiritual plants purchased with spirit stones. Remember, you only have one month. This is the first test."

"Yes, Master."

After everyone agreed, a beautiful female disciple cupped her hands and asked:
"Master, may I exchange the spiritual plants I have found for the spiritual plants I need?"

Yun Xi nodded and said:
"can."

The female disciple's eyes lit up, and she smiled happily before leaving the main hall at the summit with her fellow disciples.

Once they returned to their lodgings halfway up the mountain, someone spoke up:

"The spiritual plants that Master asked us to find are all suitable for our cultivation levels. I wonder what Master needs these spiritual plants for?"

"I guess Master is going to refine pills or potions suitable for us to take, but he wants us to rely on ourselves."

"The pills refined by my master must be of very high quality. Even if it's just to obtain the pills refined by my master, I will work hard. I won't talk to you anymore. I'll go to the mission hall to exchange for some of the spiritual plants I need first, and then I'll go find the rest."

Following the disciple's suggestion, the ten of them hurriedly left Lingxue Peak, unaware that ten Flying Cloud Butterflies were already following behind them, keeping a close eye on their mission progress.
