Dual cultivation makes you stronger, everyone else is a prodigy, and I'm the only one slacking

Her voice was clear and crisp.

"The outer sect relatives, Luo Ning, paid the proceeds from the secret realm."

After saying that, she gently patted the Qiankun bag at her waist, and the next moment, a giant cauldron exuding ancient divine charm crashed into the center of the square, and also into everyone's hearts.

Everyone stared at the giant cauldron, their breathing becoming rapid.

Autumn Water Fairy's eyes widened for a moment, then she exclaimed, "Excellent, excellent! I never expected that the one who obtained the Nine Netherworld Gathering Cauldron would be such a little child like you. Truly, you are worthy of our admiration!"

Yu Luoning smiled and said, "Thank you for the compliment. It was just a lucky win for the team. My friends trust me, which is why they let me accept the reward on their behalf."

Autumn Water Fairy nodded and then asked, "So, who do you intend to use this inner sect qualification on?"

Without the slightest hesitation, Yu Luoning turned to look at the audience below the stage, pointed to one side, and said, "I want to use this spot on my friend."

The next moment, everyone looked at Mo Fei with envious, reddened gazes that seemed to want to drown him.

Mo Fei was so moved that tears streamed down his face.

On this trip to the secret realm, he was just a human-shaped ornament, no, to be precise, a burden. He did nothing and only survived thanks to his teammates risking their lives. Now, he has unexpectedly been given a core disciple position.

What's this called? Choice is more important than effort.

Is this what it feels like to be carried away?

Seeing his tearful joy, Lu Feishuang said irritably, "What are you still standing here for? Waiting for someone to invite you up?"

Mo Fei then seemed to wake up from a dream and staggered onto the high platform.

At this moment, a murmur arose from the audience.

"She just casually gave such an important inner sect qualification to an outsider?"

"That person is only at the eighth level of Qi Refining. How can he be promoted directly to the inner sect? What about us cultivators who have been struggling in the outer sect for many years?"

"Why am I not lucky enough to have friends like that? God, please give me a whole stack of friends like that!"

On the high platform, Fairy Qiushui withdrew her gaze from Mo Fei and asked hesitantly, "You are currently only a relative; why not keep such an opportunity for yourself?"

Yu Luoning patted the Qiankun bag at her waist and said with a smile, "It's okay, I still have more."

After saying that, she raised her hand and waved it.

A crystal lotus-shaped cup flew out of the Qiankun bag and hovered quietly in mid-air.

Yu Luoning: "It contains Primordial Origin Qi. Please provide a vessel so I can replace it. I would like to keep this lotus lamp."

The elders: "..."

On the high platform, several peak masters who were originally sitting upright also looked astonished and leaned out slightly.

The audience erupted in cheers.

"No way? Someone actually managed to get two supreme treasures at the same time? What kind of incredible luck did she have?"

"Exactly! I strongly disagree! This is definitely cheating!"

"Are you out of your mind! The laws of this secret realm were established by the great powers of heaven and earth; who can cheat?"

At this moment, Chu Chen and Xu Bifa, who were sitting on the stage, had complicated expressions.

There was nothing they could do; even though they had gone through countless hardships to find it, it had been taken away by cultivators from other realms.

They can only blame themselves for being less skilled.

After Fairy Qiushui replaced the Primordial Origin Qi into the sect's treasure bottle, Yu Luoning put the Glazed Lotus Cup back into his Qiankun Bag.

Fairy Qiushui laughed, "Very good, very good, I've certainly broadened my horizons today. Your cultivation at the Foundation Establishment stage of the outer sect is already comparable to my elite inner sect disciples. This is a good opportunity to dampen their arrogance and let them know that there are always people more capable than themselves, and that there is always something beyond their understanding."

Yu Luoning said modestly, "You flatter me, Fairy. I'm just someone who got the job. This is all thanks to the team's hard work."

Autumn Water Fairy stared at her and asked again, "Shouldn't you use this second inner sect qualification on yourself?"

Yu Luoning shook her head, her finger stopping on a person in the audience, "This spot is for Lu Mingyu."

Another wave of shock swept through the audience, and the outer disciples felt their Dao hearts were about to collapse.

Another one given away?

This time, even the elders on the platform couldn't sit still any longer. "Don't act impulsively. Loyalty is important, but you also need to consider your future. The inner sect and the outer sect are not the same. Once you enter the inner sect, you will be a formal disciple of the Dongbao Upper Sect. You will have free access to the entire library, as well as abundant monthly pills and various privately held teachings from renowned masters... Don't be confused!"

Faced with the earnest advice of the senior elders, Yu Luoning smiled slightly.

His tone was seemingly casual: "I appreciate the elder's kindness, but I never said I hadn't prepared anything for myself, did I?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a crystal-clear, vibrant green fruit hung in the air.

The All-Powerful Fruit!?

The last of the three great treasures of the secret realm.

Unlike the previous two eruptions that were filled with fervor, this time no one spoke; thousands of breaths seemed to have stopped at the same time.

Everyone froze in place, unable to utter a sound.

So what we were doing just now? Making fun of them?!

With three treasures in one person's possession, she deliberately didn't reveal them all at once, but instead took them out one by one, like squeezing toothpaste.

I'm so angry, I really want to hit someone.

Only Cheng Min, seated at the head of the table, merely lifted her eyelids, seemingly unsurprised.

He glanced down and slowly spoke, "Entering the inner sect and choosing a peak, the three of you have only average aptitude. The highest cultivation level is only at the early Foundation Establishment stage, and the other two are still in Qi Refining. Although you have barely made it into the inner sect, it will be difficult for you to find a renowned master."

Cheng Min's words were actually intended to give a warning to the other seven peak elders and deacons. Each of them remained calm and collected, clearly showing no intention of taking on disciples.

Mo Fei scratched his head sheepishly and asked, "Sect Master, I am naturally afraid of death and am not cut out for fighting on the front lines. I think Dan Ding Peak is more suitable for me."

Elder Dan Dingfeng's lips twitched. Despite his disdain, he had to save face, so he agreed, "Since you are fond of plants, then come with me to Dan Dingfeng."

Following that, Lu Mingyu also made his choice and joined the Artifact Peak, which was proficient in array formations and artifact crafting.

Once the dust had settled between the two of them, all eyes turned to Yu Luoning.

Yu Luoning raised her eyes and looked straight at Elder Jianfeng Lei on the stage.

Lei Changchun readily agreed, laughing heartily, "I promised you that if you were qualified to enter the inner sect, the gates of my Sword Peak would be open to you. I keep my word."

Yu Luoning smiled and was about to kneel down to become a disciple when a burst of spiritual energy steadily supported her knees.

Immediately afterwards, an arrogant voice resounded throughout the heavens and earth.

"Isn't the sect leader being a bit too unfair? All the peaks can choose, but my Zhexue Peak is the only one left out. What does this mean?"

Upon hearing this voice, Cheng Min was jolted.

Who set this rule? They hate trouble and don't want a single disciple.

Yu Luoning below was even more surprised; she knew that voice all too well.

Who else could it be but Choi Soo?

At this moment, the screen that had been blocking Cui Xiu's way had been removed, and he, dressed in magnificent robes, slowly walked down the steps, staring at Yu Luoning with a mocking and determined look in his eyes.

"My Zhexue Peak has been deserted for hundreds of years, and I don't have a single disciple to this day. I find this girl pleasing to the eye, and since I happen to need someone to serve me, she'll do."

Immediately, the entire audience erupted in uproar.

Zhe Xuefeng, the ancestor who never accepted disciples and had an eccentric temper, actually took the initiative to snatch people away.

Elder Lei was not offended at all upon hearing this; on the contrary, he was filled with envy.

He quickly turned to Yu Luoning and said, "Luoning, the ancestor has personally spoken. You should go to Zhexue Peak and serve him well from now on."

Yu Luoning: "..."
