Chapter 2068 The Vengeful Young Lady 4

"I'm happy for you, of course I'm happy for you," Tianxing said insincerely.

The various immortal venerables have started vying for Su Yan again. Although her aptitude isn't exceptional, it's still quite good.

"Come to my Beast Taming Peak, and my fellow disciples can help you catch a high-level spirit beast."

"Come to my Weapon Peak. You have a golden spiritual root, which is perfect for weapon crafting."

"Come to my Sword Peak. My Sword Peak hasn't accepted female disciples for many years. If you come, you'll be the beloved junior sister of all the senior brothers."

"You may also come to my Pill Peak. Although your spiritual root is not as good as Tianxing's, your metal and wood spiritual roots are suitable for alchemy."

Cultivating immortality was an easy thing for Su Yan, and she didn't want to waste her energy on it. The best thing for her was to enter a main peak where she could retire.

Su Yan glanced around and finally looked at the Xuanling Immortal Venerable of Tianwai Mountain. If she remembered correctly, Tianwai Mountain was rarely visited by disciples because of the perennial snow and thin spiritual energy.

Tianwaishan has always maintained a single lineage, and has not accepted any new disciples for two hundred years.

Because Tianwaishan has few disciples, it never participates in Qingxia Sect's grand competitions or any other important missions.

Although it is the main peak of the sect, it has been dwindling in talent over the years. If it can no longer recruit disciples, it is feared that Tianwai Mountain will become a cold palace of the sect.

This quiet place is perfect for retirement.

Su Yan pointed to the peak master of Tianwai Mountain, Xuanling Immortal Venerable, and said, "May I ask to become his disciple?"

Originally, Xuanling Immortal Venerable was indifferent and only came to make a formality, but he did not expect her to choose him.

"Little child, do you know what my Tianwai Mountain is?"

"I don't know."

“His outer mountain is covered in snow all year round, and the cold wind is biting. Ordinary people simply cannot live there. You are just an ordinary person now. If you go to the outer mountain, you will probably freeze to death before you even begin to cultivate Qi.” Xuanqing Immortal Venerable advised.

Although the Immortal Venerable Xuanling also wanted to take on a disciple, he could not disregard the lives of others.

Those who wish to cultivate in the Outer Heavens Mountain must possess exceptional talent and innate abilities in order to quickly cultivate Qi and resist the coldness of the Outer Heavens Mountain.

Xuanling Immortal Venerable also advised, "You want to become my disciple, but I must make it clear to you that Tianwai Mountain is not a place for ordinary people to live. It is possible that before you have even cultivated your Qi, you will not be able to withstand the cold of Tianwai Mountain. In that case, it would be a small matter to injure your body, but a big matter to lose your life."

Su Yan insisted, "I'm not afraid. Cultivating immortality is inherently difficult, and I'm already mentally prepared."

The other immortals also advised her to reconsider, saying that Tianwai Mountain was not a good place to go.

However, Su Yan was determined. When Xuanling Immortal Venerable saw that she was determined to become his disciple, he thought that if she really couldn't stand the cold, he would teach her cultivation by himself until she could cultivate Qi into her body.

It's been a rare treat in two hundred years for a disciple to be willing to join Tianwai Mountain and to choose him so firmly. This is fate, it shows that they have a master-disciple bond.

"Alright, since you sincerely want to become a disciple of my Tianwai Mountain sect, then I will accept you as my apprentice."

"Disciple greets Master."

"My dear disciple, this is a gift from your master to mark our first meeting."

Xuanling Immortal Venerable took out a white, shimmering, gossamer-thin gauze robe and handed it to Su Yan.

"The Thousand-Year Heavenly Silk Feather Robe is said to be able to withstand a blow from a powerful expert in the Tribulation Transcending stage, and it also has the effect of keeping you warm in winter and cool in summer."

"Senior Brother Xuanling is truly generous."

"Senior Brother Xuanling finally got a disciple, and he even brought out his own private stash."

"Senior Brother Xuanling is probably worried that his only disciple won't be able to withstand the severe cold of Tianwai Mountain."

"Go away, go away! I finally managed to take on a disciple, don't scare him away!" Xuanling scolded the immortals.

"Thank you, Master." Su Yan accepted the Heavenly Silk Feather Robe. It could withstand the full force of a Tribulation Transcending cultivator, making it a very good life-saving magic treasure.

Tianxing was filled with jealousy, but dared not show it.

She's really lucky; she just randomly became a disciple of someone and managed to obtain such a magical treasure.

Hmph, so what if you have such a powerful magic weapon? It's all for naught if you can't reach the Foundation Establishment stage.

"A common man is innocent, but possessing a treasure is a crime." Obtaining this treasure may not be a good thing for her.

The disciples who climbed the mountain successively became disciples of the various main peaks, until finally only a girl of about ten years old, dressed in tattered clothes, remained, and no one was willing to take her in.

Because she possessed five spiritual roots, also known as pseudo-spiritual roots, and her physical constitution was also subpar, the sect was unwilling to accept her as an outer disciple, let alone an inner disciple.

Without a large supply of resources, such a spiritual root would be difficult to even establish a foundation.

If Su Yan hadn't been able to control her spiritual power, she could only be identified as having five spiritual roots. Even if she had an inner disciple token, she would still be ridiculed in the future.

"Please, esteemed immortals, I have finally climbed the Heavenly Ladder with great difficulty. Please give me a chance."

The immortals have lived for hundreds of years and have seen all aspects of the world. Although they pity this girl, her aptitude is too poor. Forcing her to cultivate would only be a waste of time.

All the immortals shook their heads, suggesting that it was better for her to return to the mortal realm than to waste her time on Qingxia Mountain.

"I beg you, esteemed immortals, Zhongli does not want to give up. I beg you, esteemed immortals, to give me a chance."

Tianxing saw that Zhongli had five spiritual roots and was disliked by the immortals, while Su Yan had also had five spiritual roots before, so why did he become a dual spiritual root when he arrived at Qingxia Mountain?

She feigned reluctance and said, "Su Yan also had five spiritual roots before, but now he has two spiritual roots after the test. I wonder what method he used. Could you please help this Miss Zhongli as well?"

Zhongli looked at Su Yan with hopeful eyes, hoping that she could give her some pointers. Perhaps she could also have her spiritual roots tested again, and maybe she could become a dual spiritual root?

Xuan Qing said coldly, "There is absolutely no way to change the attributes of a spiritual root, unless it is done by deception."

Zhongli's hopeful gaze dimmed again. Couldn't she stay on Qingxia Mountain?

She cannot cultivate immortality, so how can she avenge her family? She doesn't even know what to do next.

"Esteemed immortals, I am willing to serve you like an ox or a horse, as long as you are willing to let me stay."

All the immortals shook their heads and declined. Zhongli slumped to the ground in disappointment, thinking that climbing up would give her hope.

She didn't care that her hands and feet were broken, but in the end it was all for nothing.

At this moment, Tianxing pretended to be innocent and said, "You are willing to be a slave? Then you can be Su Yan's maid. She has been served since she was a child and has no ability to take care of herself. If you take care of her, you may be able to stay in Tianwai Mountain."

“No, you have five spiritual roots, making it difficult for you to cultivate Qi into your body. Staying in my Heavenly Mountain, I’m afraid your body won’t be able to handle it.” Xuanling Immortal Venerable didn’t look down on her; he was simply stating the facts.

However, Zhongli did not want to give up this hard-won opportunity. As long as she was not driven off Qingxia Mountain, she would do anything she was asked to do.

She immediately knelt down beside Su Yan and pleaded, "I am willing to take care of Sister Su and be your maid. Please let me stay in Tianwai Mountain."

Tianxing looked at Su Yan with a smug expression.

If she agrees, she will be contradicting herself. She said before that she didn't need anyone to take care of her, but now she wants someone to take care of her. I'm afraid even the Immortal Venerable Xuanling wouldn't like such a mindset.

If she doesn't agree, then she'll be seen as cold-hearted, lacking any compassion at such a young age, and will be disliked by her fellow disciples.
