Chapter 57 52: A Daoist Would Rather Die Than Let His Companions Die



After some intense bargaining, Sun Daofu wrote down a full page of "compensation" and signed his name with a seal.

"From today onwards, all disciples under my brother's tutelage, whether they are personally taught, true disciples, or nominal disciples, all elixirs will be provided by our Alchemy Peak lineage."

"And before reaching the Fifth Grade Core Formation Realm, the elixirs will be provided free of charge."

"After reaching the fifth-rank cultivation, the required elixirs will be exchanged at half the cost, until the Fourth Grade Spirit Aperture Realm."

As he spoke, Sun Daofu grimaced and said, "Senior Brother knows that advancing from the fourth-rank to the third-rank Heavenly Union Realm cannot be solved by mere medicines."

Gu Tiangang looked at the long list of elixirs corresponding to various Martial Arts realms in his hand and nodded in satisfaction.

"Junior Brother Sun has been thoughtful, these elixirs should be enough."

"So, Senior Brother, with such compensation, could you consider giving up those two disciples with talents in Alchemy Dao?"

"Two?" Gu Tiangang looked at him suspiciously, "We talked earlier only about that girl called Hua Xianzi."

"HA HA HA HA..."

Pang Kuan couldn't help laughing out loud.

While laughing, he pointed at the dumbfounded Sun Daofu and shouted, "Sun Zamao, you finally got your comeuppance."

"I've told you long ago that the way you were going about things would end badly."

"Now you see what happens? Deserved!"

"..."

Sun Daofu ignored the noisy Body Cultivation Sect Leader, but looked at Gu Tiangang, whose face was a depiction of "rascality," and gritted his teeth to ask:

"Then, Senior Brother, what else do you want?"

"Hand over all the elixirs suitable for cultivators in the Ninth Grade Mortal Realm and Eighth Grade Nayuan Realm that you have."

Gu Tiangang put away the "Alchemy Peak Contract" and smilingly reminded, "Old Dao said all, if you're too stingy, don't blame me for flipping out and denying our agreement."

"Take them, take them all!"

Sun Daofu flung the hundreds of porcelain bottles he carried on his body onto the table.

Now that such an unequal "contract" was signed, why would he care about these low-grade elixirs?

As long as he could get those two girls with talents in Alchemy Dao to join Alchemy Peak, all his efforts would be worth it.

"You've shown some sense."

Only then did Gu Tiangang happily collect the bottles, planning to gift all these elixirs to Chen Yi and others later.

Such generosity from Old Dao should be described as "magnanimous," right?

At this moment, Pang Kuan, who had been watching the drama for a long time, glanced outside of the Taihe Hall and looked delighted.

"Damn, I've finally waited!"

Gu Tiangang and Sun Daofu, hearing this, also shifted their attention.

"A Barbarian Clan member with the Ancient Barbarian Bloodline? Lao Pang, you really stumbled onto something."

"Indeed, with such a physique practicing the Body Cultivation techniques, he is sure to shine in the Sect's minor competition."

"Not necessarily,"

Gu Tiangang scoffed, "In this batch of disciples, not to mention Chen Yi who possesses top-tier talents in Sword Dao, just Lin Xueru, who has phoenix blood, is enough to match him."

Pang Kuan's face stiffened, and he glared irritably at him, "You won't know who's stronger until they compete."

"Oh?" Gu Tiangang glanced at him sideways, "Sun Thief, are you not acknowledging Old Dao's words?"

"It's the truth!" Pang Kuan declared, standing tall.

Hearing this, Sun Daofu knew someone else was about to be unlucky.

Sure enough, he saw Gu Tiangang leisurely saying, "Old Dao was feeling something was missing before, now I know."

"It's your Body Peak's unique Body Tempering Medicine."

"What do you mean?" Pang Kuan was taken aback and doubtful, "Why bring this up all of a sudden?"

Sun Daofu timely spoke, "Senior Brother Gu means that he just returned to the Sect, and his subordinates still lack a suitable disciple."

Somehow, saying this made him feel inexplicably exhilarated.

Could this be the true essence of "a Daoist would rather die than make his companions suffer"?

"And then?"

"Then,"

Gu Tiangang waved the freshly obtained "contract" leisurely and said, "Old Dao thinks this Barbarian Clan disciple with the Ancient Barbarian bloodline would be quite suitable to inherit the mantle."

Pang Kuan blinked, looking back and forth between Gu Tiangang and Sun Daofu, then he realized.

"Gu Shixiong, you're damn too bullying!"

"I'm going to your..."

...

Half a day passed, and the first assessment finally concluded.

The results were unexpected, yet reasonable.

Especially for the Grand Void Sect disciples who were in charge of this assessment.

They looked at the twenty young boys who passed the assessment, and reminisced about the whole process as if it had been as tumultuous as traversing mountains and valleys.

Initially, out of over thirty children, only two passed the assessment.

Then, ten passed in succession, among them three with exceptional talents, even making those with superior talents seem dull by comparison.

Normally, during the opening of the sect doors in previous years, having a few disciples with superior talents was already pleasing to the sect.

Unexpectedly this time, before the deadline for recruiting disciples had passed, several with exceptional talents had already appeared.

This truly brought them joy, and they couldn't help but look forward to the subsequent rewards from the sect.

As for the subsequent fifty-plus boys, only seven passed, which was within expectations.

Apart from the Barbarian Clan boy with superior talent and an Ancient Barbarian bloodline, the other six were of intermediate talent.

As those who failed the assessment left, the Green Stone Square seemed much emptier.

Xiao Xuanzhen stood with a petite figure, hands behind his back, resembling those sect leader elders of the Grand Void Sect, and spoke in a calm tone:

"Since the founding of our Grand Void Sect, our ancestor left behind the legacy that 'for cultivation, talent is secondary; character is paramount'."

"Therefore, the second assessment will be on character!"

"However, different from previous years, this time the test is not about loyalty and goodness, nor about determination, but about Martial Arts courage."

Xiao Xuanzhen, who had been following Xiao Huang in cultivation since childhood, vaguely understood that goodness and determination can change with the environment and state of mind.

But Martial Arts courage, or the heart towards Martial Arts, is a necessary condition for a cultivator to go far.

Chen Yi and the others looked at each other, wondering if it was what they thought?

Ordinary families may not know, but they, born into the nobility of the Capital City, were aware.

After all, each family's Martial Arts Arena had a demon corpse to train their courage.

Could this assessment be the same?

Seeing these confused young boys, Xiao Xuanzhen did not explain further, but clapped his hands and said, "Bring it up."

It?

Chen Yi had a bad feeling and quickly gave Lin Xueru and others a meaningful glance.

Be careful, it seems the Grand Void Sect is bringing out a big one!

Before the others could respond, they heard a loud rumbling on the Green Stone Square, stirring a gust of wind, causing them to squint involuntarily.

When they managed to see what was before them, even Chen Yi couldn't help but frown.

They saw that the cause of the loud noise was a giant ancient bronze cage, behind bars as thick as arms, a hideous demon curled up inside.

It lay in the cage, its fleshy wings wrapped around its body, and in its furry head, a pair of crimson eyes full of murderous rage coldly watched Chen Yi and the others.

In the next moment, everyone heard the beast's roar in their ears, "Roar! Meat, delicious meat…"

Hiss!

Watching its wide mouth full of sharp, dense teeth as it roared, aside from a few individuals, the rest of the boys were frightened, their hair standing on end.

And Hua Yourong, who was already timid, was scared to hide behind Fairy Hua Xianzi, trembling all over.

"Is this a joke? A living demon..."

"Looking at the coloring of the down on its neck, its strength seems comparable to a Fifth Grade Core Formation Realm?"

Listening to the discussions around him, Chen Yi scrutinized the demon.

When he had reached the Sword Dao Small Success Realm, he had fought with such demons.

Its weaknesses were located at the neck down, an inch below the chest, and the temples on both sides of the head, hidden by the mane.

The rest of the body might seem fleshy, but inflicting even significant damage wouldn't kill it instantly.

As the demon appeared, Xiao Xuanzhen also observed everyone's expressions.

He had made his judgments about a few boys who showed no fear.

"Next, each of you will step forward to undergo the assessment."

"The content of the assessment is very simple; just touching its body is considered passing."

"One thing you can be assured of, it cannot leave the cage, not even stretch out its arms."

After saying this, Xiao Xuanzhen's face unexpectedly showed a hint of a smile.

"So, who will go first?"
