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

Chen Ping watched as the two men pushed him into the restaurant, and he did not refuse.

He had originally intended to help recruit disciples, but since both of them said that, he had no choice but to give up.

Because that's how the elders who usually teamed up with him arranged things for Chen Ping.

Then Chen Ping called out to the waiter, "Waiter, prepare the dishes and wine, and bring out all the signature dishes."

Yun Muyao and Wang Qing both curled their lips at Chen Ping's casual behavior.

There was nothing they could do; after all, Chen Ping was Murong Yue's junior brother, and they didn't dare to order him around.

Without hesitation, the two headed straight for the Lord's Mansion of Liufeng City.

Yun Muyao and Wang Qing arrived at the City Lord's Mansion.

Upon seeing the two, the city lord of Liufeng City noticed that they were dressed in the robes of Qingxuan Sect disciples, riding flying swords, and possessed an otherworldly air.

He quickly put on a smile and came forward.

Immediately afterwards, all of the City Lord's subordinates were mobilized to announce the Qingxuan Sect's recruitment of disciples throughout Liufeng City.

Of course, all of this has nothing to do with Chen Ping.

He was currently indulging in a hearty meal, as the disciples of Qingxuan Sect, being a sect focused on cultivating immortality, generally did not care about worldly delicacies.

Therefore, Chen Ping's usual diet is extremely simple.

Since it was a rare opportunity to indulge himself, Chen Ping didn't hold back at all and began to eat heartily.

At that moment, two strangely dressed figures walked into the restaurant and sat down at the table next to Chen Ping.

A person, their face veiled and dressed in plain clothes, looked travel-worn and somewhat down on their luck.

But her exposed eyes were clear as water, bright and captivating, revealing her to be a beautiful young girl of sixteen or seventeen.

The other one was rather unattractive; she was an elderly woman with wrinkles on her face.

Chen Ping also glanced at the two of them indifferently; that was why he had been paying attention to them.

It was because the moment the two entered the restaurant, his aura suddenly surged to the Void Realm.

This means that one of the two must be at the Profound Core Realm.

In a secular small town like Liufeng City, the appearance of a Xuan Dan Realm expert is astounding. Such strength would qualify someone to serve as an elder in the Qingxuan Sect.

Chen Ping found it slightly strange, but didn't pay much attention to it.

As long as these two don't cause trouble and don't affect the Qingxuan Sect's recruitment of disciples, it's fine.

He didn't bother to interfere and continued eating his food heartily.

"Princess, we have now left the territory of the Great Yan Dynasty."

"Elder, please don't call me princess anymore. I'm no longer a princess."

The young woman immediately interrupted the old woman, her eyes filled with deep sadness.

"Yes, Miss."

The old woman quickly agreed, and then spoke again.

"When we arrived, we heard that the nearby immortal sect, Qingxuan Sect, is recruiting disciples. Why don't you go to Qingxuan Sect and lay low for a while?"

After listening, the young woman hesitated for a moment, then let out a soft sigh:

"Let's forget it. We're already in too much trouble. If we join the Qingxuan Sect, it will only bring them unnecessary disaster."

The old woman remained silent after hearing the woman's words.

At that moment, several more figures strode into the restaurant, the young man at the head of the group beaming with joy.

This man's name is Lin Tian, ​​and he is the young master of a prominent family in Liufeng City.

During the aptitude test conducted by the Qingxuan Sect, it was discovered that he possesses a low-grade Xuan-level root bone, and he has already been admitted to the Qingxuan Sect.

In this world, physical qualities are divided into: Mortal, Profound, Earth, Heaven, Saint, and God.

Chen Ping, however, possessed only a mortal-level physique, meaning he was destined to remain stuck at the Body Tempering Realm and unable to break through to the Foundation Establishment Realm.

The minimum standard for Qingxuan Sect to recruit disciples is Xuan level. Only those with Xuan level physique have a chance to break through to the Foundation Establishment Realm.

As soon as Lin Tian entered the room, he scanned the entire room and immediately noticed the strangely dressed young woman at the next table. His eyes lit up instantly.

When did such a stunningly beautiful woman appear in Liufeng City?

Although the woman's face was veiled, her eyes alone were enough to make her breathtakingly beautiful.

He strode over to the woman and said with a grin:

"Young lady, may I see your face by removing your veil?"

The woman remained expressionless upon hearing Lin Tian's words, sitting upright with a somber expression.

But the old woman standing to the side was furious. She slammed her hand on the table, and the whole restaurant trembled slightly.

"roll!"

Lin Tian was instantly startled by the aura emanating from the old woman.

He couldn't understand how this seemingly frail, wrinkled old woman could unleash such a powerful aura.

But being publicly humiliated in front of everyone in the restaurant filled Lin Tian with anger.

With a gloomy and unwilling expression, he shouted:

"You look down on me, don't you? Things change every thirty years."

"I've just been noticed by the Qingxuan Sect and am about to join them. Once I've completed my cultivation and returned, you won't even be worthy to carry my shoes!"

Upon hearing these words, Lin Tian's pent-up frustration vanished, and he felt refreshed all over.

He predicted that the two men would be surprised to hear that he was about to become a disciple of the Qingxuan Sect, and would then change their attitude to curry favor with him.

But when he looked up at the two, he saw that the young woman and the old woman completely ignored him.

They didn't even give him a second glance.

Lin Tian was so angry that he scratched his head and cheeks, his face turning bright red.

Chen Ping watched Lin Tian silently from the side, and shook his head slightly, thinking, "Such character."

Once one embarks on the path of cultivation, if one achieves success in cultivation, one will surely become a scourge to the region.

He then glanced at Lin Tian and said calmly:

"You can go back now. My Qingxuan Sect does not accept disciples like you."

As soon as Chen Ping said this, the restaurant fell silent, and all eyes were on him.

Everyone stared at him curiously, secretly wondering to themselves:

Who is this person? What an arrogant tone!

Many people present recognized Lin Tian. He had already been accepted by the Qingxuan Sect and was currently packing his things to go to the assembly point.

This young man actually wants to expel someone with just one sentence. Does he think he can represent the Qingxuan Sect in deciding on matters related to accepting disciples?

Lin Tian also turned to look at Chen Ping, his face full of disdain, as if he were looking at a fool:

"Heh, what arrogance! You think the Qingxuan Sect won't accept me just because you say so? Who do you think you are?"

Chen Ping didn't react at all upon hearing this, continuing to eat and drink as if nothing was wrong, completely ignoring Lin Tian.

Lin Tian glanced at the time, realizing it was getting late, and decided not to argue with Chen Ping any further.

He was about to board the Qingxuan Sect's flying boat, and from then on, he would rise to the top in one step.

Naturally, I didn't want to get entangled with these ordinary ants any longer.

He glared at Chen Ping and the woman with a cold look in his eyes.

He secretly vowed that when he returned from his cultivation, he would avenge the humiliation he had suffered today.

Make all those who mocked him and looked down on him pay a heavy price!

Lin Tian gave a cold glance at everyone, snorted, and strode away from the restaurant.

This scene in the restaurant instantly became the focus of all the guests' discussion. Everyone whispered among themselves, and their eyes kept glancing at Chen Ping.

However, the young woman and the old woman at the opposite table remained unmoved, their thoughts seemingly elsewhere.

[Ding! Task issued: Recruit a Heaven-level disciple for the Qingxuan Sect. Completing the task will reward you handsomely.]

Just as Chen Ping was eating by himself, the system's voice suddenly rang in his mind.

Chen Ping was stunned for a moment, then speechless.

Finding someone with Heaven-level talent is incredibly difficult; even his senior sister, Murong Yue, only possessed Heaven-level talent.

"System, are you kidding me? Is the first task this difficult?"

[Ding, a recruitment target has been detected ahead.]

Name: Ye Qingxue

Identity: Former Princess of the Great Yan Dynasty

Talent: Heavenly Grade Sixth Rank Root Bone

Recent events: The Prince of Zhenbei conspired with foreign sects to rebel; the Ye family, a royal clan, was wiped out and is currently being hunted down.
