Chapter 601 Entry (next)
Han Li and others naturally will not have any comments, immediately that Yu surname youth drive feet under the giant bowl, straight to the distant so-called “Tianquan Peak” and go.
On the way they met a few passing cultivators, most of them are refining period of low-ranking cultivators, the moment they saw the youth immediately salute respectfully greetings, it seems that the youth in this drop cloud clan fame is not small look.
The only Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator he met was a yellow-robed cultivator with sharp ears. The other party just happens to be from that day spring peak driving a flying fork flying down. Upon seeing the youth surnamed Yu, he was first stunned, but then greeted him with a smile on his face, ”Senior brother Yu, are these people new disciples? It looks like there aren’t many this time!”
This person was enthusiastic about the youth, but did not even look at Han Li and the other few casual cultivators with a very mercenary look.
”So it’s Senior Brother Yan! These people still have to go through the Mind Inquiring Technique test and report it to the Sect Leader for knowledge before they can be counted as official disciples of this Sect. Right now, they are just candidates.” This heroic youth surnamed Yu, once he saw this yellow-robed cultivator, his face inadvertently frowned, but he still replied indifferently.
”That’s so. But senior brother you also know, senior brother my place refining talisman, still lacks two talisman making disciples, how about directly dividing two people from these people under my door?” After this yellow-robed cultivator’s eyes rolled, he immediately said with a smile.
Only then did his gaze survey the crowd behind the youth for a moment or two.
Han Li’s face was as normal, but there was something in his heart that wasn’t quite comfortable. This person’s gaze made him very disgusted, going so far as to treat several of them as if they were things, and by the tone of his voice, he really wanted to use several of them as hard labor.
The other few loose cultivators’ faces changed slightly when they heard this. It seemed like they likewise didn’t have a good impression of this person.
”Senior Brother Yan, this matter is something that junior brother can’t make a decision on. You should know that this matter of assigning disciples has always been handled by the Sect Leader. If senior brother really thinks that there aren’t enough talisman making disciples, he can go to the Sect Leader to apply for it. Senior Brother still has important matters to attend to, and Senior Brother Miao is still waiting for the few of us at the Ying Song Residence. So I won’t accompany you any longer.” The youth surnamed Yu was quite familiar with the yellow-robed cultivator’s temperament, and immediately rebuffed the other party’s excessive request, then immediately found an excuse to urge the magic weapon under his feet, leading Han Li and the others towards a pavilion under the mountain to quickly vanish.
The yellow-robed cultivator would have liked to open his mouth to continue pestering, but once he heard the words “Senior Brother Miao”, a hint of hesitation appeared on his face, and under a daze, he actually let the youth leave in this way.
Looking at the youth and other silhouettes into the distant pavilion, the yellow-robed cultivator’s complexion was still uncertain. He lowered his head and pondered for a while, then suddenly snorted coldly, and turned into a yellow light and flew toward another mountain peak.
By this time, the youth had already led Han Li and several others into the first floor of the pavilion, while an unfamiliar person appeared on the opposite side.
Looking at the withered youth sitting in a sandalwood tai shi chair, holding a scroll of bamboo slips in his hand and reading them with great interest, Han Li was surprised for a while. This person was only thirty-four or thirty-five years old, but his cultivation had actually reached the late stage of Foundation Establishment. Although just entered the late stage, has not yet consolidated the appearance of more, but is definitely a rare talent, with his age today, but there is a great opportunity to form a golden dan and enter the ji dan stage. No wonder that the annoying yellow-robed cultivator, once heard the name of this person, actually dare not dwell on it.
The other cultivators who came with him saw the withered youth’s amazing cultivation, and were equally shocked and looked at each other for a few moments.
At this time, this person had already put down the bamboo slips in his hand, and after glancing at the youth surnamed Yu, he asked softly, ”Senior brother Yu, it’s been hard on you. Just now, Senior Brother Yan from the Smoke Locking Peak stopped you?”
”Since senior brother already knows about it, why bother asking about it again. However, is that person here to pester Senior Sister Pei Ling again?” The handsome youth asked with a few shades of disgust.
”What do you mean by that person, Senior Brother Yan is just a little bit too much again, but he is also a fellow disciple of our Falling Clouds Sect, Senior Brother Yu’s words were a little inappropriate, in the future, you need to pay more attention to it, or else if Master hears about it, a chastisement is unavoidable.” In the words of the sickly looking youth, there was a slight meaning of reproach, but his voice was light, not a trace of fire.
But this, in turn, made the youth surnamed Yu’s heart flinch, and hurriedly opened his mouth and responded, “Senior brother’s lesson is, junior brother will definitely pay attention in the future.”
Only after hearing the youth’s words of recognizing his mistake did a trace of a smile appear on the withered youth’s face. After he nodded his head, his gaze turned and landed on Han Li’s several people and sized them up one by one.
He saw very carefully and looked from head to toe very slowly, making most of the people anxious!
However, I don’t know if it was Han Li’s illusion or not, but he realized that when the other party’s gaze saw the bearded man, it seemed to subconsciously pause, and then his eyes jumped directly to the others a bit quickly.
With Han Li’s cultivation level, it was naturally impossible for the other party to see any cracks, but in his heart, he quietly kept this matter in his mind.
After a moment’s work, this Senior Brother Miao withdrew his gaze, and then calmly molded towards his waist, and a dozen brilliant silver talismans appeared in his palm.
”There are only seven people this time, which isn’t too far from what I expected, otherwise if there were more people, the Heart Questioning Talismans I have here would really be a bit insufficient. Senior Brother Yu will put these talismans on the bodies of these Daoists in a while, and when the effects kick in, bring them to my practice room.” Senior Brother Miao’s voice was very calm, and after placing these talismans into the youth’s hands, he stood up and walked towards the second floor without looking back.
However, as the withered youth walked slowly up the corner staircase, for some reason, his back was turned to a few people and he suddenly coughed dramatically as he bent over. Listening to the sound, it seemed like the pain was unbearable, but then he stood up and disappeared at the stairway in the crowd’s astonished gaze.
Seeing this scene, a hint of surprise flashed in Han Li’s eyes, but quickly disappeared without a trace and returned to his normal color.
After the youth surnamed Yu revealed a few worried expressions, he let out a sigh and turned back to Han Li and the others, “These in my hands are the rumored Questioning Heart Talismans. I don’t think I need to go into detail about the efficacy of this talisman for you all to know about it. If you are harboring evil intentions, or have other plans that you want to muddle through, it would be best if you take the initiative to exit now, or else if you find something amiss in a moment, don’t blame our Falling Clouds Sect for being impolite.”
As soon as he finished saying these words, the youth’s eyes flashed with a cold aura as he coldly swept across the opposite seven people once. Although his tone was a bit eerie and frightening, naturally, there was nothing that would stand out at this moment.
Thus, the youth surnamed Yu nodded with a slowed down expression, and with a wave of his hands, seven silver lights flew out, exactly one for each person, pasted on top of each person’s right shoulder. The youth then unhurriedly sat down on his knees, ignoring the seven people’s eyes closed and rested their minds.
Now the bearded man and other people looked at each other. Although they each have ideas in mind, but since they do not dare to tear off this questioning heart talisman, so they can only stare blankly at the dry waiting.
At this moment, Han Li slightly inclined his head, took a look at the silver talisman on his shoulder that was close at hand, the corner of his mouth slightly curled, but immediately as if nothing had happened. Not long after, the talisman on Han Li’s shoulder suddenly flourished with silver light, then flickered brightly and dimly.
The seated youth surnamed Yu sensed something and opened his eyes at once, saying emotionlessly to Han Li’s, “You alone go to the top, Senior Brother Miao is waiting for you there!”
Han Li heard this and looked at the talisman on one side, lifting his leg without saying a word. A moment later, the person was standing on the second floor of the pavilion.
It was empty, with nothing but two futons. The withered youth was seated on one of the futons, and as soon as he saw Han Li walk up, he immediately showed a faint smile on his face and rushed the other futon in front of him, pointing a finger.
”Sit down! There’s no need to worry, it’ll be over soon enough. And the Questioning Heart Technique isn’t a mesmerizing technique, it’s just judging whether your answer is sincere or a lie.”
”Although the judgment of this technique can’t be said to be completely correct, not even a single mistake, but nine times out of ten, it’s still right. Therefore, I will ask you ten questions below, and if more than three of them are judged to be false, you won’t be accepted into the Sect, do you understand, fellow Daoist?”
”Late generation understands.” Han Li sighed and said honestly with a nod of his head, then sat down similarly on the futon in front of the youth.
However, Han Li laughed coldly in his heart. If the Questioning Heart Technique could ask for his true feelings, it would really be a hell of a thing!
”Alright, the following questioning will begin. Let’s start with your origin.” …… “This Senior Brother Miao glanced at the flickering silver talisman on Han Li’s shoulder and began to inquire.
……
Han Li and the other seven people flew out of the pavilion, then headed straight for one of the tallest peaks in the area.
The seven people, including Han Li, were all judged to be fine by the withered youth.
Therefore, several people only needed to go and have that Falling Cloud Sect Sect Master recognize and log their names, even if they were official Falling Cloud Sect disciples.
