I've become addicted to seizing opportunities after transmigrating into the body of an immortal

Chapter 59 The Chosen One: Starting bid one million!

"What does Broken Sword Peak have? My Profound Sword Peak will give you double that, as long as you leave Broken Sword Peak and become my disciple at Profound Sword Peak," Mo Xuan said.

He said enticingly, "I heard you have five spiritual roots. If you are willing to come to Xuanjian Peak, I will find five elemental ores to forge your natal sword."

"Basalt, Vermilion Bird Stone... you can have any of these."

Xuanjian Peak is the second largest main peak of Qingyun Sect, only below the sect master's peak. Mo Xuan is extremely confident that Su Su will not refuse this opportunity to ascend to the top.

He raised a knowing smile.

Lin Xiao's hand, which was forming a hand seal to protect his disciple, trembled slightly. Would Su Su go to Xuanjian Peak?
That's how it should be. Back then, everyone looked down on him, but now climbing up is the right thing to do, Lin Xiao told himself.

He was deeply resentful; he had once been a prodigy, how could he tolerate someone stealing his disciple?

In ancient times, the relationship between master and disciple was like that between father and daughter. Once they recognized each other, the karmic ties were recognized by the Heavenly Way.

Headmaster Zhang, sitting at the head of the table, frowned: "Mo Xuan, you have disregarded the sect rules. Even though your subordinates have bullied the disciples, you have now tricked a disciple into betraying the sect. What is your punishment?"

"How could the sect leader know this was a deception? It's merely a matter of abandoning darkness for light. As for the mistakes Chen He made," Mo Xuan said calmly, ignoring Chen Zhenjun's pleading eyes behind him, "Isn't suppressing him at the bottom of the Blackwater Pool for a month enough?"

Blackwater Pool is specifically for punishing Golden Core True Monarchs who have made mistakes. The pool has extremely high water pressure, and there are also strange creatures underwater that devour spiritual energy, making it impossible to cultivate. If True Monarch Chen were to be thrown into the bottom of the pool for a month, he would either die or lose half his life.

Chen Zhenjun turned pale with fright and ran to his knees before Mo Xuan, begging for mercy: "Your Excellency, I was working for you, you can't treat me like this!"

Mo Xuan feigned anger and kicked Chen Zhenjun in the chest. "I gave orders long ago that no one in the Xuanjian Peak lineage is allowed to cause trouble. You still didn't know how to restrain yourself. Now that you've violated the sect rules, you deserve it!"

After saying that, he turned to Su Su and asked, "How about it? It wasn't a bad deal to acknowledge me as your master, was it? From now on, no one will dare to bully you anymore."

Watching the two's half-hearted performance, Sect Leader Zhang scoffed inwardly. Who were they putting on this act for? Just fooling their junior disciples! But since Mo Xuan was willing to send True Lord Chen to the Blackwater Pool, then she wouldn't blame him for resorting to underhanded tactics!
"Your Excellency Mo Xuan said you'd give me double, is that true?" Su Su pretended to ponder, but a mischievous smile appeared on her lips.

"Of course, I, Mo Xuan, never lie."

So Su Su began to list them off: "Master's gift of 100,000, dozens of bottles of pills, and a magic sword; Eldest Brother's gift of 50,000, three top-grade spirit stones, and a seventh-grade magic weapon; Second Senior Sister's gift of 10,000; and Third Senior Brother's gift of 10,000."

"Back in the Sword Qi Pavilion, my second senior sister gave me 90,000 contribution points."

"When he achieved enlightenment and broke through, the eldest brother used 100,000 spirit stones."

"In total, that's 270,000 spirit stones, three top-grade items, 90,000 contribution points, and a seventh-grade magic weapon." Su Su's calculations clicked rapidly.

"Exchange all the small items for spirit stones. Venerable Mo Xuan, just give me 550,000 ordinary spirit stones, six top-grade spirit stones, 180,000 contribution points, and a sixth-grade magic weapon."

Su Su said very considerately, "If you don't want the hassle, you can pay with ordinary spirit stones. We'll round down the total price to one million spirit stones."

Mo Xuan: "..."

Sect Leader Zhang: "..."

Lin Xiao: “…”

Yu Yu: Huh? There are so many?
Imperial Edict: Is raising a junior sister really that expensive?
"Besides, when will Venerable Mo Xuan actually provide the Five Elements spiritual items? It can't just be empty promises, can it?"

The five types of ores, though slightly rare, only cost tens of thousands of spirit stones in total. All five items together cost less than two hundred thousand.

However, this doesn't stop Su Su from using it to annoy Mo Xuan.

Seeing that everyone present was silent, Su Su feigned surprise and asked in a frivolous tone, "No way, no way, Venerable Mo Xuan won't go back on his word, will he?"

Mo Xuan felt that Su Su was lying to him. How could one million spirit stones be possible? Su Su was just a candidate for the Heavenly Mandate, not someone whose identity had already been confirmed!

Moreover, he simply didn't have that many spirit stones on his body!

Mo Xuan was furious, but his expression remained impassive. He said in a dangerous tone, "You dare to lie to me?"

"Senior Brother Mo Xuan, Su Su is still a child. Why are you arguing with a child?" Sect Leader Zhang chuckled and took out her all-powerful magic weapon, the Sect Leader's Token, which she slammed onto the table.

"Besides, when did you, Mo Xuan, ever have the final say in my Qingyun Sect?"

Mo Xuan's expression was dark and unreadable. In order to suppress him, that old man made him swear an oath of loyalty to the sect and not to disobey the sect leader's order at the sect leader's succession ceremony.

Faced with this sect leader's order, Mo Xuan was unable to resist for a moment, otherwise his inner demons would immediately rise!
His face was ashen, and he merely snorted coldly before turning away.

He left with the words, "I'd like to see who wins and who loses!"

Between Fu Sinian and Su Su, who is truly the chosen one? Mo Xuan trusted his divination more. He figured that once everyone discovered Su Su was merely putting on an act, he would return to Xuanjian Peak to plead for leadership. Mo Xuan sneered inwardly, thinking that even if Su Su begged to become the sect leader, he would still put on airs!
He strode forward, shrinking the distance between them, and left Broken Sword Peak in just a few steps.

Chen Zhenjun's face was ashen, and he followed Mo Xuan away with stiff steps. When he passed Su Su, he stared at Su Su with a dark and fierce look in his eyes.

Su Su laughed and said with a grin, "True Lord, you must remember to report to Blackwater Pool."

"Humph!"

At the foot of Broken Sword Peak, Chen San, unable to withstand the torment of the Broken Sword Peak disciples, hid in the bridal sedan chair he had brought, his face covered in bruises, and finally waited for his father to come down the mountain.

"Father! They're bullying me!" Chen San ran to greet Chen Zhenjun.

But all he got in return was a slap in the face from Chen Zhenjun: "Who gave you permission to cause trouble outside?"

Chen San thought his father would definitely support him, but to his surprise, a single slap sent him spinning several times, his face immediately turning red and swollen.

He covered his face, feeling a metallic taste in his mouth, and exclaimed in disbelief, "Dad! Are you possessed? I'm your son!"

"Go back! You disgraceful thing!"

Watching the two figures flee in disarray, the disciples of Broken Sword Peak finally felt a sense of relief, "It's finally over."

"These bastards always like to bully us!"

With everyone working together, they threw the bridal sedan chair that Chen San had brought out, and it shattered into pieces.

"I bother!"

He then stopped and chatted with his disciple.

"But speaking of which, could it be that Senior Sister Su has really mastered the Azure Cloud Sword Technique?"

"It looks real; even Mo Xuan is here."

"I wonder where she learned that from. Could it be from the Sword Qi Pavilion?"

"envious."

Everyone felt a pang of sadness.

In the main hall of Broken Sword Peak, Sect Leader Zhang took the initiative and said, "Junior Brother, it's been a long time."

Lin Xiao gave a vague answer, feeling guilty, and said, "Haha, oh dear, I suddenly can't suppress my inner demons anymore, I'm going into seclusion first, hehe."

He tiptoed to the inner palace.

As soon as he entered, Lin Xiao hurriedly activated the barrier. Sweat had already soaked his back. He sat cross-legged to suppress the restless inner demons within him.

Thirty years ago, Lin Xiao and Mo Xuan, due to old grudges and factional conflicts over the position of sect leader, made a life-or-death pact, thus opening the sect's dueling arena.

When Lin Xiao competed with him, his spiritual energy inexplicably disappeared, like a dam opening, and his cultivation level dropped directly from the late Golden Core stage to the mid Golden Core stage.

Mo Xuan seized the opportunity to dissect the sword bone, but fortunately, the situation was reversed; the moment the sword bone left the body, it rotted into ashes.

Otherwise, Lin Xiao would be vomiting blood right now.

Although everyone knew there was something wrong with the match, the two had made a Heavenly Contract before their life-or-death duel, and no one could interfere on the arena.

At that time, Mo Xuan believed that he was invincible in his sect and would surely inherit the throne.

But no one knew that Zhang Yunxia, ​​who was usually quiet, had persuaded the Supreme Elder, who was in seclusion, to take over as sect leader.

She even bore the brunt of divine retribution alone, her hair turning white overnight, as she rescued the dying Lin Xiao from the arena.

From then on, Lin Xiao always felt guilty towards his senior sister, feeling that it was his impulsiveness that had caused her to suffer such a fate.

Above the front hall.

Sect Leader Zhang was still calmly drinking his tea, while Su Su obediently stayed to the side, serving tea and water.

"I want to take you as my apprentice."
