006 Wild Maple Forest

  This time, four disciples passed the assessment all at once. This result was beyond Jiang He's expectations. If Qi Lei had performed exceptionally well, it might have been possible, but how could Liu Qingyun possibly pass the assessment? He was only in the fourth layer of the Refining Qi stage, and his mastery of spiritual symbols was also extremely average, making it impossible for him to pass the assessment.

  Jiang He couldn't understand, and when he looked at Liu Qingyun again, all he saw was his smug face, which made him feel extremely disgusted. But Gao Yuan beside him was smiling mysteriously. Was it because of him? Jiang He's heart skipped a beat.

  Lu Zhanglao then encouraged the disciples who did not pass the assessment, talking about some of the rights and privileges enjoyed by inner door disciples, as well as things to note. Jiang He listened seriously.

  After becoming an inner disciple, apart from having his own separate room, he could also obtain a suitable advanced cultivation technique for himself. Every year, he would receive two pieces of low-grade spirit stone, twenty specially-made spirit talismans, and three days out of every eight to listen to the elder's lectures on cultivation techniques and drawing talismans, among other benefits. This made Jiang He extremely delighted.

  "You four, go to Qingteng Peak to report to Elder Li within three days. Don't be late. Alright, those who didn't pass the assessment, go to Lanzhu Peak to receive arrangements from Elder Cui." With that, Lu Elder left the school.

  As soon as Lu Zhanglao left, the school immediately boiled over. The disciples surrounded Gao Yuan, Liu Qingyun and Qi Lei in the center, and voices of congratulation and celebration erupted.

  However, Jiang He was alone beside him, looking very lonely. Jiang He originally wanted to talk to Qi Heng about his feelings, but when their eyes met in the crowd, he found that Qi Heng's usual gentle gaze had turned sharp and piercing!

  What's going on? Is the relationship between Jiang He and his disciples really that bad? Jiang He felt very strange, he had no memory of the details of how he interacted with these disciples before. The only impression he had was of Gao Yuan. But thinking about it, Qi Lei did greet him yesterday morning, so it shouldn't be that bad.

  Is it because of the plateau? Jiang He thought of the plateau again, and there was no way to help it. The impression this plateau left on his mind was too deep.

  Can't understand, Jiang He didn't want to stay in this place and feel the atmosphere that made him very uncomfortable, so he wanted to leave. But Gao Yuan called out to him: "Jiang He, are you leaving without exchanging feelings with us?" The crowd burst into laughter.

  "Never mind, you all talk, I have something else to attend to and will leave first."

  "Jiang He, I've got some good news for you. I'm leaving Mount Qi Yun tomorrow and heading to Mount Yan Ling. From then on, you won't have to be bullied by me anymore. Aren't you thrilled? Hahaha!" Gaoyuan burst out laughing.

  "Plateau, don't be so smug. We're all inner disciples. It's hard to say what will happen in the future. You don't have to be so arrogant." Jiang He's eyes shot out with anger.

  "Hahaha, it's really funny, you don't think you'll have a chance to surpass me in the future, do you?" A strange smile appeared on Gao Yuan's face.

  "Hmph! Arrogance!" Jiang He sneered.

  "I'll tell you, from now on things will be easy to say, at least for the next ten years, it's already been decided. You just need to remember three words and you'll know I'm not talking nonsense." The strong self-confidence in Gao Yuan's tone made Jiang He feel a sense of unease, asking: "What are the three words?"

  "Wild maple forest. You'll know in three days." Gaoyuan smiled: "But there's one thing you can rest assured of, even if I leave, there will still be people to play with you later. Qilei, Qingyun, don't you think so?"

  "Yes, I won't let Jiang and you be lonely." Liu Qingyun said with a smile. Qi Hui nodded in the same way, and the disciples around him started to tease, loudly mocking this disciple who had already been selected into the inner door. Outer door disciples mocking inner door disciples, such a thing is absolutely strange enough.

  "Hmph, a group of petty people." Jiang He coldly snorted in his heart. But Jiang He also understood that if things escalated, he would definitely be the one to suffer! For now, he didn't say another word and left with his head down.

  A person facing everyone alone is so desolate.

  The jeers and taunts from behind grew fainter, Jiang He suddenly lifted his head, his teeth clenched tightly together, with a hint of blood red in his eyes. What was originally worth remembering had suddenly become so detestable, only by becoming stronger would such things not happen again.

  "I originally wanted to give him an unforgettable memory, but I didn't expect him to hold back, it's a bit regrettable." Gaoyuan said with a smile, today's events made him very satisfied.

  "For him, it's already an unforgettable memory." Qi Hui smiled and said.

  "Haha, not bad, just hope he won't find another place to secretly cry, it's really pitiful. Even if he enters the inner circle, he'll still be a clown." Gaoyuan laughed loudly.

  While everyone else was laughing and agreeing, Gao Yuan's face turned gloomy. For the past two days, Jiang He had been giving him a very bad feeling, as if he had become a different person, no longer the timid and reserved one he used to be.

  "No way, this scourge can't be left behind, it must be eliminated. Tomorrow, the people sent by Big Brother will arrive, and at that time, we'll take action, no more playing around." Gao Yuan had a plan in mind.

  Jiang simply packed his clothes and went to report to Qingteng Peak. Qingteng Peak was not far from here, and with his current Qi Refining stage six body, he could arrive in a day's time.

  "What a pity, if I had a flying sword, I could also fly." Jiang He thought to himself when he arrived at Qingteng Peak, seeing many disciples flying in the air.

  "Senior brother, may I ask where is Elder Li who is in charge of receiving new disciples?" Just then, he saw a disciple flying down with his sword and Jiang He hastily went forward to ask.

  "Keep walking along this main road, and you'll see it right in front of you." The disciple pointed the way, then mounted his flying sword and took off again, apparently to get familiar with his newly acquired flying sword.

  Jiang and Xin were even more envious, not knowing when they would have a flying sword of their own. He walked along the main road ahead, soon seeing a large temple, this temple stood alone beside the main road, with no other houses around.

  Jiang He entered the grand hall and saw a young man sitting in front of a green desk, looking at a name list. Jiang He stepped forward and asked, "Excuse me, are you Elder Li?"

  "Not bad, you're a newly promoted inner disciple, what's your name?" The young man asked with a gentle tone.

  "River and Harmony."

  "This is your stuff, check it out clearly. This is a simplified map of Qingteng Peak, the Su Yun Academy marked on it is where you will be listening to lectures in the future, starting three days later. This is your room number plate, find your room according to this plate number." As Li Chang spoke, he waved his hand and a pile of items appeared in front of Jiang He out of thin air.

  Is this the legendary storage ring? Jiang thought to himself as he caught sight of a cyan-colored ring on Li Chang's finger.

  Apart from the Ling Stone and special silk paper, there was actually a flying sword. Jiang He's heart was filled with great joy, and soon he would be able to fly with his sword as well.

  "By the way, inner disciples not only enjoy privileges but also have the obligation to serve the sect. This is an introduction to Wild Maple Forest, your task is to be responsible for sweeping the fallen leaves of Wild Maple Forest, small sweep every eight days, big sweep every sixty-four days, someone will go over to inspect." Elder Li said, and handed over a small booklet.

  "Wild Maple Forest!" Jiang's heart skipped a beat as he gained a clearer understanding of the plateau's energy.
