Disciple Li Qingyang Pays Respect to Sect Leader

Trying to pressure a mistake? That's not possible.

Even though Jun Changxiao had never read the original novel of Journey to the West, he had watched the television series countless times. He knew the story so well that he could recite it backward.

Without any consideration, he said, "The first sect leader of our Iron Bones Sect absorbed the essence of the heavens, earth, sun, and moon. Not only did he experience countless years of cultivation and accumulation before breaking out of a spirit rock, he also learned and inherited the teachings of Patriarch Subhuti in Spirit Platform Fangcun Mountain!"

"Human bodies are made of flesh, how could the first leader of your sect come out from a rock?" the elder of the Azure Mountain Sect angrily rebuked. "You little child, stop talking rubbish and deluding people!"

"Old fellow," Jun Changxiao said nonchalantly. "You are ignorant of many living creatures' paths to evolution."

"You… You…" The elder of Azure Mountain Sect was so angry that his face turned red.

"I have answered all your questions," Jun Changxiao said calmly. "If you're unsatisfied and wish to hear more, you can continue asking."

The elder of Azure Mountain Sect could not suppress this indignation. He had wanted to continue asking, but Li Qingyang spoke ahead of him. "I didn't expect Iron Bones Clang Clang Sect to have such a long-established historical background."

The whole crowd almost fell to the ground.

Did the descendent of the Li clan really believe him?

"But…" Li Qingyang paused for a moment. "All that you have said is merely the past glory of Iron Bones Clang Clang Sect. What about the superiority and advantages that the sect has today?"

Yes!

Even if Iron Bones Sect had not been spouting nonsense and had thorough records of their 'history', they were nothing more than a ninth-grade sect now!

"Sigh." Jun Changxiao let out a sigh and said, "There is no eternity in this world. Even the strongest sect will eventually wither. Our Iron Bones Clang Clang Sect did not escape this fate and eventually declined to what we are today."

Declined, what rubbish.

You Iron Bones Sect had not even been strong since the start alright!

"Young Master Li." Jun Changxiao looked over and spoke profoundly. "But our sect is still considered a sect of ancient times. Even if we have dropped from the divine altar, we still have existing concrete information within us. For example, the alchemy pill that you took before. That's the best evidence."

Alchemy pill?

The crowd was left dumbfounded upon hearing this.

Li Qingyang was silent.

At that time, he had been seriously injured and seemed to be in a coma. However, he could remember from the faint conscious moments that he had consumed one alchemy pill. Then, his injuries had recovered.

Jun Changxiao had fabricated stories previously, and Li Qingyang had only treated them as merely stories. However, when Jun Changxiao mentioned the alchemy pill and how Li Qingyang had benefited from it, he could not help but think that the Iron Bones Clang Clang Sect probably was not so simple.

"In order for this seat to revive my sect's past glory, I need a talent like you to assist me," Jun Changxiao said. He looked at the few cultivators from the various sects who had come to poach Li Qingyang. "The conditions that they have promised you, this seat is unable to promise the same. But if you wish to reach the Martial Empyrean Realm, then come join the Iron Bones Clang Clang Sect."

Reach the Martial Empyrean Realm?

This fellow is indeed capable of saying anything!

The Martial Empyrean Realm was the strongest realm of the Fallen Star Continent and the most respected divine entity in the hearts of people.

Jun Changxiao, who was only at the fifth stage of Meridian Opening Realm, actually said that he could help someone reach that kind of realm. His formidability in boasting was not average at all!

"Alright," Li Qingyang answered straightforwardly. "I will join the Iron Bones Clang Clang Sect."

Those few simple words resounded in the skies of the drill grounds. The expressions of various cultivators had frozen, and they seemed like many unsophisticated stone statues.

Ding!

"Congratulations to the host for completing the side mission. You have received five contribution points!"

Ding!

"Sect Contribution Points: 19/100."

Having heard the voice internally, Jun Changxiao felt a little stupid and murmured in his head, This is considered complete? I have successfully tricked the first talent of Qingyang City into joining us?

"Qianqian!"

After a few moments of distraction, the great sect leader Jun said loud and clear, "Bring over the entry form for joining the sect."

Lu Qianqian placed the form on the table.

Shoosh!

Jun Changxiao sat down confidently and spoke as he raised the brush. "Name?"

"Li Qingyang."

"Gender."

"…Male."

"Age."

"Sixteen years old."

"Aptitude."

"High-grade spirit root."

"Realm."

"Tenth stage of Meridian Opening Realm."

Jun Changxiao could not sit properly and almost fell from the chair.

As a sect leader, he had only reached the fifth stage of Meridian Opening Realm. His second disciple had actually reached the tenth stage of Meridian Opening Realm!

He was indeed worthy of being the top talent of Qingyang City. He was truly formidable!

Jun Changxiao retrieved the sect leader seal from the interspatial ring and breathed a mouth of air on it. He stamped it onto the entry form and said, "From today onward, you are the disciple of Iron Bones Clang Clang Sect."

"Disciple Li Qingyang." Li Qingyang cupped his hands in obeisance and spoke respectfully, "My respect to the sect leader!"

Ding!

"Sect Members: 3/100!"

Ding!

"Sect Contribution Points: 20/100."

Seeing the increase in members and contribution points, Jun Changxiao felt that the system's voice was very beautiful and pleasant!

…

No one could have expected Li Qingyang to reject joining the fifth-grade sects and choose to join the Iron Bones Clang Clang Sect instead. Furthermore, he had completed the entry formalities so quickly and easily!

The deacon of the Long Blade Sect sat paralyzed on the ground and foolishly said, "Impossible… impossible… this must be a dream!"

The despicable Iron Bones sect had unexpectedly recruited the top talent of Qingyang City!

The reality was so cruel that he found it hard to accept.

The disciple of Tiger Roar Sect was stunned as well.

In fact, after Li Qingyang joined the Iron Bones Clang Clang Sect, everyone on the drill grounds became stunned. They all felt as though they were dreaming, an extremely ridiculous dream at that!

"Young Master Li," the elder of Azure Mountain Sect said heavily, "you have a high-grade spirit root. Your future accomplishments will be unlimited. If you join the low-class Iron Bones Sect, you're destroying your own future!"

"Old fellow." Jun Changxiao spoke with a cold face. "Even though my Iron Bones Clang Clang Sect is low-class, that is only temporary. This seat will set down my words today. Our sect will definitely surpass your Azure Mountain Sect in a few years!"

His voice was resounding and powerful. How magnificent!

Those were his serious words. He was being unprecedentedly serious. As he was the sect leader, he detested people who looked down on and mocked his own sect.

They had to become stronger. They had to prove themselves with actions!

"Surpass my Azure Mountain Sect?" The elder of Azure Mountain Sect laughed coldly. "Kid, you think you can make your sect stronger just by using your mouth?"

Using my mouth.

That's definitely impossible.

Jun Changxiao only dared be so confident because he had the system in his hands. He had the contribution points and the sect merchant store!

You cultivators from the Fallen Star Continent are depending on the accumulation of time and spirit qi from Heaven and Earth to cultivate. This seat will slowly make use of contribution points and various valuable treasures to surpass and beat you!

"Old fellow," Jun Changxiao said, "just wait for the day my Iron Bones Sect becomes so notorious it shakes the entire continent"

The elder of Azure Mountain Sect let out a cold snort and said, "Okay, I shall await the day your Iron Bones Clang Clang Sect becomes notorious!"

After he finished speaking, he waved his sleeves and left.

Since the best talent had been recruited, there was no reason to stay there anymore. Hence, he instructed the disciples to remove the facade and prepare to set out on their journey back to the Azure Mountain Sect.

"Elder Ma!"

However, just when he was about to leave, a middle-aged man donned in brocade clothing walked into the drill grounds quickly and said, "Please wait!"

"It's Clanlord Li!"

The crowd recognized the man as Clanlord Li, Li Qingyang's father.

Clanlord Li brought a few servants with him and came over in quick steps. He politely cupped his hands in greeting. "Elder Ma, my son Qingyang is still young and insensible. I will accept your noble sect's sincere invitation on his behalf."

"Clanlord Li." The elder of Azure Mountain Sect spoke in an unhappy tone. "Your son has already joined another sect."

"What?" Clanlord Li was startled and stared at Li Qingyang, who was standing far away. His face was stern as he said, "You brat, why didn't you wait for your father to arrive before making this decision?"

His voice ended with a grunt when his peripheral vision saw the words 'Iron Bones Clang Clang Sect' on a horizontal scroll on top of his son's head. In that instant, Clanlord Li felt a strong bad omen rising in his heart, "Qingyang, which sect did you join?"

"Iron Bones Clang Clang Sect," Li Qingyang calmly replied.
