It grows stronger when faced with a strong opponent; even an Immortal Emperor would have to kneel be

A month has passed in the blink of an eye at the Qingxuan Sect.

Today is an important day. The newly initiated disciples of the Qingxuan Sect have been living in the sect for a month.

During this month, they practiced the basic introductory techniques of the Qingxuan Sect, familiarized themselves with the circulation of spiritual energy, and adapted to the environment of the Qingxuan Sect.

Today is also the day for the formal apprenticeship ceremony.

All the newly initiated disciples of the Qingxuan Sect were looking forward to it.

If you are favored by the peak master and become his disciple, your status will soar to new heights.

Chen Ping was the same; he came to select disciples on behalf of Xingyue Peak.

Murong Yue has been in seclusion in the Peak Master's Hall for the past month.

Now, all affairs, big and small, of Xingyue Peak are handled by Chen Ping.

There was no other way; although Chen Ping was an elder in charge of the Qingxuan Sect, he was also the deputy peak master of Xingyue Peak.

However, Chen Ping had his own way of handling things, and then handed the matter over to Lu Youran to manage.

"You Ran, your master has important business to attend to, and the peak master is not here either. As the chief disciple, you should take charge on your own."

"These tasks are now in your hands."

Today, Lu Youran followed behind Chen Ping, watching his back, her teeth itching with hatred.

She felt that among the nine peak leaders, she was the most frustrated.

When the leaders of other peaks go out, they are always met with respectful gazes.

Surrounded by a retinue, they enjoyed immense prestige.

But she was different; she had always lived in Chen Ping's shadow.

She would give all the good stuff she received as rewards to Chen Ping during the sect competitions or the four sect competitions.

Seeing Chen Ping's nonchalant and expert demeanor, Lu Youran stomped her feet in anger.

Chen Ping led the Xingyue Peak disciples, completely ignoring Lu Youran's expression behind him.

Although the disciples of Xingyue Peak behind him were also dissatisfied with Chen Ping, they were restrained by Murong Yue's authority.

They had no choice but to give up.

At that moment, a group of people walked straight towards them.

The leader was a young man with a somewhat effeminate appearance, who was holding a folding fan in his hand.

He looked at Chen Ping but ignored him.

He then turned his gaze to Lu Youran behind him.

"Oh, Junior Sister Lu, look at you! On Star Moon Peak, you're like a background character. Who takes you seriously?"

"Even this piece of trash in the Body Tempering Realm is arrogant in front of you. Why don't you switch your allegiance to my Fire Cloud Peak? My Fire Cloud Peak will not treat you unfairly."

The person who exited was Liu Yunfei, the chief of Huoyun Peak. At the age of twenty-six, he had already reached the peak of the Xuan Dan realm.

Lu Youran was immediately displeased when she heard Liu Yunfei speak like that.

Although she was somewhat resentful of Chen Ping, Murong Yue had not treated her harshly at all while she was on Xingyue Peak.

All the necessary cultivation resources will be provided without exception.

Although she was not Murong Yue's personal disciple, Murong Yue treated her no differently and often guided her in her cultivation.

Murong Yue will double the resources she won in the competition and gave to Chen Ping, in another way as compensation.

As for Chen Ping, although they were not convinced by this useless senior uncle who was only at the Body Tempering Realm.

However, Chen Ping was kind and gentle to everyone at Xingyue Peak and would not deliberately make things difficult for them.

The disciples of Xingyue Peak behind him heard Liu Yunfei's provocative words.

They immediately glared at her angrily, sharing the same thought as Lu Youran.

Seeing the displeased expressions on Lu Youran's and the other Xingyue Peak disciples' faces, Liu Yunfei immediately gave a faint smile.

"Hehe, I was just joking, don't take it seriously."

"You agree, right, Uncle Chen?"

Liu Yunfei looked at Chen Ping with great interest.

Chen Ping's name resounded throughout the entire Qingxuan Sect, how could Liu Yunfei not know it?

He looked at Chen Ping with no respect whatsoever for a senior, but rather with a mocking and provocative expression.

Chen Ping looked at Liu Yunfei with a calm expression and said indifferently.

"Of course, why would I argue with a fool? Let's go."

After Chen Ping finished speaking, he led the group of Xingyue Peak disciples away in a long stride.

Lu Youran would occasionally turn around and give Liu Yunfei a fierce look.

At that moment, as Liu Yunfei looked in the direction Chen Ping had left, the sinister smile on his face instantly turned ferocious and ruthless.

He crushed the folding fan in his hand to pieces in an instant.

"A body tempering cripple calls you 'Master Uncle' and thinks he's someone important. If it weren't for Murong Yue protecting you, what would you be? I'd kill you in a heartbeat."

After Liu Yunfei finished speaking, he lost interest and led the group of Huoyun Peak disciples toward the initiation ceremony square in the distance.

He came here on a mission: to help his master, the peak master of Fire Cloud Peak, recruit disciples.

Of course, if one's talent is average but passable, they will be accepted into Huoyun Peak as an ordinary disciple.

If someone has exceptional talent, they will be accepted as a personal disciple.

One after another, the other seven peaks also arrived, each led by its own chief.

As the master of a peak, it would indeed be beneath his dignity to appear in such a small setting.

In the square, Chen Ping sat down in the direction of Xingyue Peak, and Liu Yunfei happened to sit down next to him.

Because of the conflict just now, the atmosphere on both sides was very tense.

At this moment, countless new disciples of the Qingxuan Sect looked at the elders and deacons around them, and their eyes lit up, especially when they looked at the seats of the nine peaks.

The Nine Peaks hold an extremely high position within the Qingxuan Sect.

Second only to the sect leader and the sect's patriarch.

If they can become disciples of the Nine Peaks, they will be protected by the Nine Peak Masters in the future.

Once inside the gate, no one dared to bully them anymore.

Although they are still in the newcomer protection period for the past month, they have been provoked by veteran disciples from time to time.

Therefore, they also longed to be noticed so that they would have a powerful backer in the Qingxuan Sect in the future.

If one is not favored by the Nine Peaks, being taken in as a personal disciple by some deacons or core elders is also acceptable, at least one will have a powerful backer.

Ye Qingxue stood among the disciples. She had joined the Qingxuan Sect for Chen Ping's sake.

She looked around, weaving through the crowd, and finally spotted Chen Ping at a seat.

Chen Ping was sitting in the exclusive seat reserved for the peak master of Xingyue Peak.

It stands out very much, it's very dazzling.

Ye Qingxue's eyes were full of hope. She had already removed her veil and changed into the robes of a Qingxuan Sect disciple.

At this moment, her beauty was unparalleled, ethereal and otherworldly, and her eyes seemed to sparkle like stars.

He was a very outstanding figure among all the disciples.

Liu Yunfei saw Ye Qingxue looking in his direction and couldn't help but sneer.

He had long been attracted to Ye Qingxue, whose temperament and appearance were among the best in the entire Qingxuan Sect.

Then he saw Ye Qingxue looking in his direction, and he put on what he thought was a dashing expression.

It seems she's a little fangirl attracted by her own charm.

He thought to himself that if Ye Qingxue had good talent, he would take her as a disciple of Fire Cloud Peak.

If you're not talented, then be his maid and stay by his side—it's the best of both worlds.

"Keep an eye on this female disciple."

Liu Yunfei spoke to the Huoyun Peak disciple beside him.

"Alright, senior brother, I promise I'll keep a close eye on you."

The disciples of Huoyun Peak looked at Liu Yunfei, then at Ye Qingxue's stunning beauty, and all revealed a wicked smile.

Immediately afterwards, a core elder stood at the front of the crowd. He looked at the countless newly initiated disciples below the stage with a calm gaze, and then flicked his finger.

A moment later, the ground beneath the disciples' feet lit up with the light of an array.

They are standing in the pulse-testing array, which will perfectly display each person's talent and physique to the world.

It's obvious who is a genius and who is a good-for-nothing.

After all, the crystals used by the elders to test qualifications were not actually standard, and there might have been some that slipped through the net.

The next moment, countless lights flashed, but one light stood out brightly and dazzlingly.

Everyone stared in astonishment at the halo.
