Chapter 10
I'm going to become the head of the Luoxia Immortal Sect?
When Su Yi walked up to Gu Wanquan and his group, she wrung out the water from her clothes and said, feigning embarrassment, "Sorry, sorry, I took a little too long!"
Dressed in white, Gu Wanquan looked at Su Yi with interest and said, "It's alright. Junior Brother Su has caused such an extraordinary phenomenon, so it's natural that it took a little longer!"
None of the others showed any impatience. Even Yin Chaoge, who was always arrogant and looked down on others, was now sizing up Su Yi.
Even Xiao Tian, the youngest among them, looked at Su Yi with admiration.
There's no other reason than that even if they are found to have mutated spiritual roots, at most they will cause some changes in the spiritual gate.
However, Su Yi's spiritual root attribute could directly trigger small-scale celestial phenomena.
In Gu Wanquan's eyes, Su Yi's spiritual root aptitude was far superior to theirs!
Su Yi waved his hand, feigning modesty, and said, "I'm not as strong as you all imagine. I just had some insights after the spiritual energy from the Spirit Gate entered my body!"
To be able to show off in front of the six prodigies who are revered as protagonists by countless players.
This feeling is even more comfortable than crawling into a refrigerator on a hot summer day!
Su Yi feigned modesty, but inwardly he was screaming, "Seriously, buddy, is this genius really that weak? He acts like he's never seen anything like it before. Does he even know what a mythical talent is?"
As they were talking, a giant crane landed directly in front of them.
The young man hurriedly jumped down from the crane, frantically stopped the group, and said urgently, "None of you are allowed to leave. I've already called for help. You are not allowed to leave until then."
The urgent voice sounded like a threat, as if Su Yi and the others were hit-and-run drivers preparing to flee the scene.
The young man, who had been trying to deceive himself, finally had to reluctantly admit the truth before him!
The Luoxia Immortal Sect has indeed welcomed several exceptionally talented geniuses!
These seven people before us will undoubtedly represent the brightest future for the Falling Clouds Immortal Sect!
I have already notified the sect before the inner sect elders arrive.
If I let any one of these people go, I will become a sinner of the Falling Clouds Immortal Sect!
The young man steadied himself, coughed, and, feigning composure but with undisguised elation in his eyes, said, "I apologize, I lost my composure. Let me introduce myself, I am Chen Feng, an inner disciple of the Falling Clouds Immortal Sect!"
"The spiritual roots of several individuals are somewhat unusual, and I cannot make a decision on their behalf. Therefore, I have summoned an inner sect elder to come and re-examine their spiritual roots!"
Seeing Chen Feng's ecstatic expression, as if he'd struck gold, Su Yi's face remained expressionless, but he couldn't help but chuckle inwardly: "Wait, buddy, do you really think you've found a treasure? You're laughing so happily now, but don't you dare cry when the sect is destroyed!"
According to the course of history, none of the six destined protagonists around me are simple.
First, Wen Daoyi led the sect into evil ways, which greatly damaged the sect's vitality.
Then there was the Buddhist spy, Shi Buran, who infiltrated the sect in an attempt to steal its most precious treasure.
Later, Gu Wanquan single-handedly destroyed the sect, and in the great battle with Yin Chaoge, even the sect's mountain was wiped out.
Even Xiao Tian and Ling Yao, who had only played minor roles in previous expansions, have been transformed into the Heavenly Emperor and Empress in the latest expansion.
The two forces clashed and nearly destroyed the entire continent!
The chosen one is powerful, but it depends on whether one has the ability to bear the consequences of being chosen by fate!
The young man was named Chen Feng. Su Yi went through her memories in her mind, but there was no powerful NPC named Chen Feng in the game "Immortal Path".
That means Chen Feng in front of us was probably just an unlucky guy who died randomly in one of the disasters caused by these geniuses.
Just as Su Yi was mourning the unlucky fellow in front of her, a sword light suddenly flew in from the distant fairyland.
An old Taoist priest with white hair and beard, exuding an air of otherworldly wisdom, arrived on a sword!
The old Taoist priest was clearly in a panic, wearing only one shoe, and hurriedly landed in front of Su Yi and the others.
Chen Feng's eyes lit up, and he was about to step forward to pay his respects when the old man pushed him aside.
When the old Taoist priest saw Su Yi and the others, his eyes lit up. He grabbed Su Yi's hand and said excitedly, "Good children, all of you are good children!"
The old Taoist priest holding Su Yi's hand suddenly changed his expression, looking at Su Yi with suspicion and muttering to himself, "No! Just an ordinary water elemental root?"
Feeling as if he had been deceived, the old Taoist priest glared at Su Yi, puffing out his beard, and said, "Don't you know what kind of spiritual root you have? Why are you wasting my time?"
"???"
"No? You're blaming me now? You grabbed my hand the moment you came up, and I haven't even said you took advantage of me!"
Seeing the old Taoist priest in front of him change his attitude faster than flipping through a book, Su Yi, who was originally stunned, had a hint of embarrassment on his face and cursed inwardly.
The old Taoist priest dismissed Su Yi's hand with a look of disdain, grabbed Gu Wanquan's hand, pondered for a moment, and then spoke with renewed excitement, "Good children, all of them are good children!"
Damn it, what a jerk who treats people differently based on their status!
Su Yi stared at the old Taoist priest, whose mood changed faster than flipping through a book, his face dark. He wondered which elder of the Luoxia Immortal Sect this suddenly appeared was.
In the game "Immortal Journey", the Luoxia Immortal Sect is just an introduction at the beginning of the game, and the characters in the Luoxia Immortal Sect are not listed.
After all, the sect was wiped out at the start, so why did the developers go to so much trouble to create the models?
Therefore, even Su Yi, a veteran player of the game, did not recognize any of the characters in the Luoxia Immortal Sect.
However, looking at the old Taoist priest who kept calling him a good child, Su Yi understood why the Luoxia Immortal Sect had been destroyed.
With such poor eyesight, he took in a bunch of geniuses with mental problems and treated them like treasures.
The Undying Sect is an outrage against Heaven!
After being tricked by the old Taoist priest, Su Yi began to speculate maliciously.
Meanwhile, the old Taoist priest was completely lost in a dream of the sect's great prosperity. He praised each and every one of them as he looked at them from Gu Wanquan's perspective.
Gu Wanquan, good boy!
Yin Chaoge, good boy!
Not so, well, it's just so-so!
Wen Daoyi, good boy!
When his gaze fell on Xiao Tian and Ling Yao, the old Taoist priest was clearly taken aback, his eyes scanning back and forth between the two.
"Old man, what kind of spiritual root do I have?" Ling Yao looked at the old Taoist priest who kept scrutinizing her, and with a hint of displeasure, she showed her two tiger teeth and asked him rather rudely.
The old Taoist priest was not angry at Ling Yao's utterly impolite behavior. After all, what kind of genius would be without a temper?
The kind-faced old Taoist priest patiently explained, "You two both possess mutated earth-attribute spiritual roots, specifically strength-based spiritual roots!"
Finally, I'll offer a reluctant evaluation:
Although it follows the path of strengthening the body through qi and blood, it is still a mutated spiritual root.
Well then, let's just say he's a good kid!
After praising the good children, the old Taoist priest's eyes narrowed into slits with joy. Afraid that he might be wrong, he pointed at Gu Wanquan and the others and counted them again.
It's like counting how many sheep are in your own sheepfold!
Seeing the old Taoist's satisfied expression, Chen Feng, who had been pushed aside earlier, cautiously walked to his side, bowed, and said, "Inner disciple Chen Feng greets the Sect Leader!"
The voice, though not loud, immediately caused an uproar.
The disciples watching were surprised to find that Su Yi and his group had attracted the personal attention of the Luoxia Immortal Sect's leader!
The sect leader of the Luoxia Immortal Sect is elusive, rarely seen even by outer disciples.
When the leader of the Luoxia Immortal Sect appeared, these newly joined henchmen naturally wanted to make a good impression on the big boss in front of them.
A deafening roar of greetings rose and fell.
The old Taoist straightened his back, his body radiating spiritual energy and flowing with profound laws. His every move was graceful and elegant, making him appear like a hermit immortal.
If it weren't for the fact that he wasn't wearing a shoe on his right foot, this reclusive master's appearance would be even more convincing.
Amidst the thunderous cheers and shouts of greetings, only Su Yi stood frozen in place, refusing to pay her respects.
Because the system voice in Su Yi's mind spoke, and Su Yi heard news that almost made him despair:
"Ding! Main quest unlocked: The Path to Sect Leader Starting as an Outer Disciple!"
"Mission Objective: Become the new leader of the Falling Clouds Immortal Sect amidst great anticipation!"
"Accept or not!"
Dressed in white, Gu Wanquan looked at Su Yi with interest and said, "It's alright. Junior Brother Su has caused such an extraordinary phenomenon, so it's natural that it took a little longer!"
None of the others showed any impatience. Even Yin Chaoge, who was always arrogant and looked down on others, was now sizing up Su Yi.
