Volume 1: Heavenly Machine Pavilion Turbulence Chapter 46: Disciple Ceremony (Part 2)

  Before his words had even faded away, Ling Feng only felt a flash of light in front of his eyes, and a tall figure appeared before him.

  Ma Dezhong saw the approaching person clearly, and a hint of sinister expression appeared on his face. His right hand, which had been about to withdraw, instead curled into a claw shape, with wisps of red air flowing from between his fingers towards the person's right shoulder.

  "Master Ma's gift is so unique and thoughtful, it's the first time I've ever received something like this!"

  That man smiled lightly and swung his large sleeve out. A massive surge of energy suddenly emerged, and in an instant, it collided with Ma Dezhong's right palm.

  "Bang!"

  A low, muffled sound, and Ling Feng, standing behind the man, felt a strong gust of wind brush against his face, causing his eyes to narrow. In his blurry line of sight, he saw that the detestable 'Cold Skin Face' seemed to have been at a disadvantage, stumbling backward for several feet before finally steadying himself.

  The man who appeared in front of him, with a tall and majestic body like a mountain, stood still after one move. With his hands behind his back, just looking at his back, Ling Feng felt that this person was extraordinary and outstanding!

  "He must be my master, a high-ranking expert, absolutely a high-ranking expert!"

  The strong wind that had been blowing in his face had dissipated, and Ling Feng opened his eyes to look at the figure's back, a look of admiration on his small face.

  "Zhong Sun Tian, why does Ma want to take this kid as an apprentice and what business is it of yours?"

  Ma Dezhong's face turned red with rage, and he shouted loudly. From the brief exchange just now, he had already sensed that his opponent's reputation was not undeserved, and his strength was indeed formidable, not something he could match. However, due to the presence of many fellow disciples, he did not want to lose face, so he made this remark.

  "Master Ma, I had already set my sights on this child. Why must you intervene and ruin the harmony between us?"

  "The sect's rules are clear, new disciples who enter the door, we all have the right to accept them as our own. Obviously, you, Zhong Sun Tian, think you're superior to others with your high moral standing, and yet you come here to compete with me, Ma Mou, and still speak with such arrogance! It's really too much!" Ma Dezhong's face was dark and stern, his eyes fixed intently on the person in front of him, his voice severe as he said: "This matter, I will report to our Master, let him come and judge what is right!"

  His words had barely fallen when a ray of light descended from mid-air, revealing a figure - none other than Li Feng, Lingfeng's uncle!

  "It's all because my younger brother arrived a step late, causing the two masters to quarrel here. It's my fault, my fault!" Li Feng appeared with an apologetic face and bowed his hands in respect to Ma Dezhong, saying: "This child is my own nephew, and I had already begged Master Zhong Sun to accept him as a disciple a month ago!"

  He said that, and Ma Tak Chung, who originally thought he was in the right, immediately became the one at fault.

  "It's all a misunderstanding!" At this moment, Zhang Zhenglin hurried out to mediate. He couldn't afford to offend either of the two parties in dispute, and if these two were to start a big fight here, he might even be implicated.

  "Master Ma, among these disciples, there are several with fire attribute single spirit roots, which is most suitable for you to train. I'll help you pick one?" Zhang Zhenglin said with a smile.

  "It doesn't matter!"

  Ma Dezhong was extremely angry, but he had no choice. In terms of strength, he couldn't compare to the other person, and in terms of reason, he was also at fault. Now that things had reached this point, if he continued to stay, it would only be humiliating for him.

  With a wave of his large sleeve, Ma Dezhong rolled up his nephew Ma Yan and transformed into a beam of light that flew up into the sky.

  "Zhong Sun Tian, I'll find you another day and we'll have a good spar! " As he was leaving, he didn't forget to say a few words to save face.

  "Anytime!"

  Zhong Sun Tian lightly laughed and responded indifferently. From his tone, it seemed as if he didn't take Ma Dezhong seriously at all.

  After the unreasonable person left, all the monks on the scene came over to greet Zhong Sun Tian, each with a humble attitude, and occasionally, someone's eyes would reveal a hint of fear.

  Zhang Sun Tian responded with a few perfunctory words, then turned around and looked at Ling Feng.

  "He is my master?"

  Ling Feng finally saw his true face.

  But seeing Zhong Sun, he looked like a scholar in his thirties, with eyes as deep as a pool, profound and clear, with an extraordinary appearance, a long beard fluttering under his chin, with a bit of an ethereal and otherworldly air about him, inspiring reverence at first glance!

  "Longevity, hurry up and pay respects to Master!"

  Ling Feng was enchanted by Zhong Sun's heavenly music, when he heard his uncle Li Feng's voice beside him. He quickly came back to himself and rushed forward to kowtow, respectfully saying: "Disciple Li Changqing pays respects to Master!"

  "Evergreen... huh, get up!" Zhong Sun Tian's face showed a faint smile, his sleeve robe lightly swept, and Ling Feng only felt a surge of great strength coming, lifting his body up.

  "Zhang Sun Shixiong, are you satisfied with your nephew?" Li Feng walked over and said with a smile.

  "Not bad!" Zhong Sun Tian slightly nodded his head, a hint of delight flashing in his eyes.

  Although it was just a brief two words, he could see that he was very satisfied with his new disciple.

  "Longevity!" Li Feng stretched out his hand and gently patted Lingfeng's little head, saying: "Zhong Sun Shixiong's Taoist magic is more than ten times higher than Uncle Zu's. Being able to worship under him is also a blessing for you, so in the future, you must cultivate diligently and not disappoint Uncle Zu's expectations of you. One day, if your magical powers are fully developed, you must make our Li family of Four Pings glorious!"

  "Uncle's teachings, forever remembered in heart!" Ling Feng respectfully replied.

  Then Li Feng reminded Lingfeng a few more words, with affectionate feelings from the heart, making Lingfeng feel deeply moved.

  "How wonderful it would be if I really had such an uncle!"

  In his heart, he secretly sighed, yet felt vaguely uneasy, and Ling Feng's mind was entangled with a thousand knots.

  "Li Shixiong, your nephew has already become a disciple of Zhong Sun Shixiong, you can also be considered to have fulfilled your wish. I don't know if you, Shixiong, plan to accept another disciple?" Zhang Zhenglin said with a smile.

  "Thanks for reminding me, I was indeed planning to take on another disciple!" Li Feng replied with a smile.

  "Probably you, Li Shixiong, are lacking someone to do chores for you!" Zhang Zhenglin said bluntly. The two of them had a very good relationship and didn't have many taboos when speaking to each other.

  "It's better to be Li Mou's Dan Tong than to bow down at every temple and get by!" Li Feng said proudly.

  His words were not false, according to the rules of Tianji Pavilion, new inner disciples who were recruited, except for those who were selected and taken away, all others would be assigned to various temples under the jurisdiction of the executive gate. These executives mostly only had cultivation at the 8th or 9th level of Qi Refining, with few having reached the Foundation Establishment stage. Moreover, they had many disciples under them, and after entering the sect, they would just go through the motions, teach some techniques, and then not bother to ask about their progress again!

  Compared to Li Feng, this person has only mid-stage Foundation Establishment cultivation, but is extremely skilled in alchemy and artifact refinement. Being able to become his disciple isn't too bad!

  The conversation between the two fell into Ling Feng's ears, and he moved his mind, looking at Guan Bai with a glance, but found that the other party was also looking at himself with a pitiful gaze.

  After some thought, Ling Feng had an idea in mind.

  "Help him this once, whether it succeeds or not is up to fate!"

  He let out a soft sigh, and Ling Feng tugged on Li Feng's sleeve. The latter came to his senses, turned around, and Ling Feng whispered a few words in his ear, his face filled with pleading intent.

  Zhong Sun Tian saw this and smiled slightly, but didn't make a sound.

  "Alright..." Li Feng looked at Guan Bai after hearing this, his face showing a hesitant expression, indecisive. After a long while, he finally let out a sigh and said: "Fine, I'll agree to it!"

  "Thank you, Uncle!" Ling Feng was overjoyed and jumped up immediately, thanking him repeatedly.

  Li Feng saw the excitement on his small face, and his eyes turned to Zhong Sun Tian. He couldn't help but smile, using the transmission technique to say: "Chang Qing is a good kid, as his uncle, I naturally want to fulfill his wishes!"

  "This child has a good innate talent and temperament, Li Shidi, thank you for finding such a good apprentice for me!" Zhong Sun Tian also replied with a sentence through the transmission technique, at the same time, his gaze towards Ling Feng was full of appreciation.

  At this time, the cultivators who came to select their disciples bid farewell and left one by one. Except for Ling Feng and the other three heterodox spiritual root disciples, those twelve single spiritual root disciples were also selected and left with their respective masters. There were also a few lucky double spiritual root disciples who were selected and left happily.

  Guan Bai was also one of the lucky ones, he was taken in as a disciple by Li Feng. When he found out that he had been chosen, his face was filled with excitement, his eyes looked at Ling Feng, his eyes were brimming with tears, wanting to say something, but because of his agitated mind, he couldn't speak.

  "Brother Li, I will never forget your great kindness. If in the future you need me, even if it means sacrificing my life, I will help you..."

  At this moment, Guan Bai secretly made a vow in his heart. He decided to use his own life to repay Ling Feng's kindness.

  "Time stands still for no man, we should be going too!"

  Zhong Sun Tian bid farewell to Zhang Zhenglin, Li Feng and others, pulled Ling Feng's hand, and with a flash of his body, turned into a green light that broke through the air and disappeared.
