Chapter 55: Gathering Disciples

  "Su Han? Western Yuan Town's Su Han, could it be that Su Han who broke the ancient and mysterious 'Green Micro Star Big Dipper Formation'?"

  "I heard that after he broke through the array, he lost his trace and didn't expect him to come to Xiaoyi Gate!"

  "It's said that the Qingwei Star Array is an ancient, mysterious array chosen by a powerful being of the past to select their disciples. If Su Han can break through this array, doesn't that mean he has the qualifications to become a disciple of a powerful being from the past?"

  “…….”

  At this time, a large circle of people had already gathered beside the bluestone pillar. As soon as they heard Su Han's name, their faces changed slightly and they began to discuss it in whispers.

  Everything that happened in Guyueshan has spread in all directions like it grew wings. Many major powers have already heard of Su Han's great name. As Su Han had expected, he was famous throughout the land.

  "Are you Su Han?" Shen Mu Feng's heart slightly stirred, he deployed the secret technique of observing people, and a faint spiritual light emanated from his eyes as he looked at Su Han, seeing the situation within Su Han's body.

  Shen Mu Feng glanced at Su Han, a hint of regret flashing in his eyes: "Indeed, the main dantian is damaged, and there's no hope for innate talent in the future!"

  Shen Mu Feng said sincerely, "Su Han, your Dantian was damaged and originally didn't meet the qualifications for our Xiaoyi Gate's recruitment. However, I heard that you broke the Qingwei Star Array, and your array skills are unmatched in the world. I'll go report to the sect now, please wait here for a moment."

  The three major sects recruit disciples, and what they value is the disciple's future malleability and potential. Su Han's dantian was damaged, making him almost hopeless from birth. Shen Mu Feng also didn't have the authority to bring him into the sect.

  "Yes! Senior brother!"

  Before long, Shen Mu Feng returned with a smile that was as gentle as spring rain on his face and a hint of envy in his eyes. He bowed to Su Han: "Congratulations, junior brother. From today onwards, you are an inner disciple of our Xiaoyi Gate. Once you pass the trial of the true transmission disciples, you will become a true transmission disciple of our Xiaoyi Gate."

  "True Disciple!!"

  "Sū Hán this time, really took a step into heaven. It's truly enviable."

  “……”

  A murmur of discussion immediately came from below, and those martial arts geniuses from all over the Great Flame Dynasty looked at Su Han with envious eyes.

  Named disciples, outer door disciples, inner door disciples, true transmission disciples, core disciples. Every level ordinary martial arts geniuses want to cross, need years of time. Especially from inner door disciples to true transmission disciples, it is a threshold that most people can hardly cross. Su Han crossed three levels at once and directly became the true transmission disciple of Guyue Sect, naturally making countless people envy and jealous.

  The main hall of the Xiangyi Gate's Grand Peak Temple.

  On the main seat, a middle-aged handsome man with a face as white as jade, eyebrows like stars, and an aura of righteousness between his brows slowly said: "Su Han broke the Qingwei Star Array, it is said that those who break the Qingwei Star Array have the talent to become a disciple of the ancient great masters. I want to take him as my apprentice, what do you think?"

  This middle-aged handsome man with a righteous aura between his eyebrows is Luo Ming Shu, the master of Xiaoyi Gate. On both sides of Luo Ming Shu are the masters of the five peaks of Xiaoyi Gate.

  As soon as Luo Ming's words fell, an old man with white hair and beard, wearing a crimson robe, frowned slightly and said: "Master of the sect, at the last disciple recruitment ceremony, you took away Qian Mingyu and Lu Tianxiang, who had the best qualifications. Our Haoshu Peak has not had the first pick for many years, this time Su Han should belong to our Haoshu Peak."

  The old man in crimson robes was Li Dongyuan, the master of Haoshu Peak.

  A woman with a snowy complexion and elegant appearance, looking only in her thirties, with a hint of wrinkles between her eyebrows, smiled lightly and said: "Elder Li is right. Sect Master, your sect has already recruited disciples many times before, taking away many talented young people. This time, let's not compete with us. I think it's better to let Su Han choose which peak he wants to join himself."

  That middle-aged beauty was Tang Ying, the master of Yunhuafeng. After hearing Tang Ying's words, Luo Mingshu couldn't help but smile wryly and hesitated for a moment before saying: "Forget it, this time you two can split it."

  An old man with a gaunt appearance, who seemed like an unsheathed sharp sword wherever he was, said coldly: "We, the Sword of Qi, have abandoned our rights."

  This old man, like a sharp arrow out of its sheath, is Wang Yijian, the master of Kuixiaofeng. Although Su Han bears the astonishing title of being a disciple of an ancient great power, his broken dantian is an indisputable fact. The main focus of Kuixiaofeng is on swordsmanship and not much research has been done on array techniques, therefore Wang Yijian isn't very interested in Su Han.

  A middle-aged scholar with a fan in hand, looking elegant and smiling, said: "Who wants to compete for Su Han's favor? This time, let the one who will be chosen as his disciple within five years give up. I, Qian Jingfeng, relinquish my right."

  This smiling gentleman is Shen Xiangxiu, the master of Qianjing Peak. Qianjing Peak likes to recruit scholars who are well-versed in classics and history, with both literary and military talents, and Su Han is not particularly interesting to him either.

  An old man with a blue robe, white hair and beard, with blue flames embroidered on his robe, said faintly: "Shen Shidi is right. Gu Danfeng also gives up his power."

  The old man in blue robes was Fang Guo, the master of Gudan Peak. Gudan Peak specialized in refining elixirs and to reach the pinnacle of alchemy, one had to cultivate to the level of Innate. Su Han couldn't cultivate to that level, so Fang Guo wasn't interested in him either.

  Tang Ying saw the other three peak masters give up so readily, and her heart was slightly stunned for a moment. However, she quickly reacted. Su Han's dantian was damaged, and he couldn't advance to become a pre-heavenly strong practitioner, even if his array skills were unmatched in the world. But in the internal competition of the sect, where personal interests were at stake, he was useless.

  The Xiaoyi Gate was also built on the site of an ancient ruin, and it had a powerful array that could be used to defend itself. However, this array could only be activated when the gate was under threat, and even then, its effects were not always significant. The resources required to maintain the array were substantial, but its benefits were limited. For the sect, having Su Han, an unparalleled array master, join their ranks was a great boon. But for certain individuals, this might not necessarily be good news. To cultivate an array master like Su Han would require a tremendous amount of resources, and sacrificing the priority to select new disciples for five years made it an even more unattractive proposition.

  Tang Ying's expression changed with a smile, and his tone shifted: "If that's the case, then I, Yunhuafeng, will also give up my rights. Li Shixiong, let Su Han be given to Haoshufeng."

  Li Dongyuan glanced around at everyone and laughed heartily: "Alright!! It's settled then."

  The grand ceremony of recruiting disciples came to an end, and Su Han followed Shen Mu Feng and others as they walked towards the interior of the Xiaoyi Gate.

  As soon as Su Han and his party stepped into the main peak of Xiaoyi Gate, a majestic voice immediately rang out: "Which one is Su Han?"

  Everyone's gaze shifted, and they immediately saw Li Dongyuan walking towards this side in a long blue robe.
