Chapter 40: Talent Doesn’t Matter

　　Such a good thing, why couldn’t it be the turn of their talented geniuses, but instead, let those hot chickens with mediocre talent take over.

　　”These hot chickens of theirs, how is it possible for them to ascend to the Jindan Stage, and that too within what a short period of time?”

　　”That’s right, none of us have risen to the Jindan Stage, so why would those with mediocre talent be chosen?

　　I think there must be some hidden agenda here.”

　　A few people with good talent gathered together and whispered.

　　Xu Yang was in the great hall above, watching this scene, calmly picking up his teacup and taking a sip.

　　What all these people would be discussing, Xu Yang had actually known about it for a long time.

　　This time, he had elevated all these disciples with bad talent but good character to the Jindan Stage in public, just to let the others know.

　　In the Tian Lan Sect, talent and cultivation, were secondary , good character and loyalty to the Tian Lan Sect was the main thing.

　　dong ……

　　When the sun rose to the middle of the sky, a dull bell sounded.

　　Ling Qingshu held a parchment scroll in a serious hand and said with a cold face, “The Promotion Ceremony, officially begins, please Old Ancestor!”

　　As this clear voice fell, the disciples above the square, all cast their eyes, on Xu Yang, eagerly wanting to know, what technique Xu Yang would use, to make a Foundation Establishment Stage, or even a Qi Practicing Stage disciple, successfully form a Jindan, within a day’s time.

　　Although all of them expressed their skepticism, however, their gazes did not show the slightest hint of disrespect, Xu Yang was famous in Qi Zhou, and their status as Xu Yang’s disciples had risen as well.

　　The moment the others heard that they were disciples of the Tian Lan Sect, their gazes would become adoring.

　　Within a short period of time, they had gone from cautious overgrown rats to disciples of the Tian Lan Sect, the number one sect in Qi Zhou that everyone envied.

　　This was due to this mysterious old ancestor of theirs.

　　Therefore, they were very worshipful of this mysterious old ancestor of theirs.

　　Xu Yang, amidst everyone’s gazes, walked over to a teenager.

　　This teenager, was one of the dozen or so disciples who had been chosen by Ling Qingshu, who had good character and were loyal to the Sky Lan Sect.

　　This person, visually no more than seventeen years old, had a thin figure and a bloodless face.

　　A green shirt looked empty and loose on his body.

　　Seeing Xu Yang arrive, his face was filled with nervousness as he trembled and said, “Good day, Old Ancestor Xu.”

　　”What’s your name.”

　　Xu Yang said while sizing up the teenager.

　　This person’s breath was cowardly, devoid of the arrogance and overriding killing aura that a cultivator should have.

　　At first glance, he wanted to be a bitter child in a farming family.

　　However, these could be cultivated later on, so that when he had formed a Jindan and was above all people, Xu Yang did not believe that he would still have such a cowardly and incompetent look.

　　”My name is ……

　　Liu Egg ……” Liu Egg said timidly, above his palms, squeezed with sweat, a face also nervous and bloodless.

　　Outside the onlookers of the Tian Lan Sect disciples, many people bared their teeth and laughed out.

　　”See, a sweeper is a sweeper, what can he do, just like this, he still wants to form Jindan, dreaming?”

　　”That’s right, I don’t know how our Patriarch, chooses people.”

　　”That’s right, I don’t want such a heavenly talent, chose a scum like that, really don’t know, why.”

　　”It is said that it was only because he protected a senior brother during a battle and was seriously injured, therefore, he was chosen.”

　　”Just because of that?”

　　Liu Dan was even more nervous when he heard people talking about her not being able to do it.

　　His nervous appearance, Xu Yang saw in his eyes.

　　He didn’t say anything more, but just handed Liu Dan a bottle of elixir and said, “Eat this.”

　　Amidst the attention of ten thousand people, Liu Dan ate the elixir.

　　His aura instantly became berserk, and heaven and earth changed color.

　　Xu Yang put one hand on Liu Dan’s shoulder to help Liu Dan, manipulating the raging aura in his body to help him impact the Jindan Stage.

　　With a boom, in just a quarter of an hour, Liu Dan’s aura, suddenly became even more berserk, before stabilizing quickly again.

　　However, at this moment, his aura had been transformed.

　　”Thank you, Old Ancestor.”

　　With a plop, Liu Egg knelt on the ground, his eyes filled with excitement.

　　He truly felt the Jindan in his body, and he was also a Jindan stage cultivator.

　　He couldn’t help but secretly swear in his heart that he would use his life to repay the Tian Lan Sect.

　　Xu Yang nodded and said, ”You go down first.

　　By the way, what did you do before.”

　　”Disciple, responsible for cleaning the mountain gate daily.”

　　Liu Dan replied respectfully.

　　Sweeping the mountain gate?

　　It’s just sweeping the floor ah.

　　Xu Yang slightly frowned, letting a Jindan Stage cultivator me, to clean the mountain gate, not quite appropriate.

　　”You don’t have to do it tomorrow, I will give you a position as an elder.”

　　Xu Yang said there, Liu egg you will not be an elder, this is not important at all, as long as it is of good character, these can be learned.

　　”This ……” Liu Egg was shocked, from a sweeper, into an elder.

　　This leap was so big that he couldn’t believe it.

　　”There’s nothing but, how I arrange it, how you listen is fine.”

　　Xu Yang said indifferently.

　　Liu Dan hurriedly agreed, then was silent.

　　The onlookers below were dumbfounded, in a short span of ten minutes, a disciple with extremely poor talent and only one level of Foundation Establishment was forcibly elevated to Jindan Stage by Xu Yang.

　　They pinched their thighs in death, it was very painful, it was true.

　　A bunch of people, all converged their envious and jealous gazes on Liu Dan’s body.

　　At this moment, Liu Egg was still unable to adapt to the raging power of the Jindan Stage, and with all his aura exposed, everyone was very sure that Liu Egg, had truly elevated to the Jindan Stage.

　　”How could this happen, this genius, actually let a sweeper surpass.”

　　Some people couldn’t believe it and shook their heads repeatedly.

　　”I only beat up Liu Egg yesterday, he is now an elder of the Tian Lan Sect, will he seek revenge on me.”

　　Xu Yang walked towards the second person, this person’s name was Zhang Dong, he was still relatively famous in the Tian Lan Sect, his talent was poor, his cultivation was also poor, but he had a spirit that was unconvincing and able to endure hardship.

　　Although his cultivation was very grueling, it was because his talent was just too poor.

　　His cultivation time was more than several times that of others, but his cultivation level still remained at the first level of Foundation Establishment.

　　Everyone said that in Zhang Dong’s life, no matter how hard he tried, he would not be able to raise his cultivation level even a little bit.

　　Xu Yang walked to Zhang Dong’s front, who looked very robust due to his long years of cultivation.

　　Xu Yang didn’t make a fuss, he directly gave Zhang Dong the pills and told him to eat them.

　　With Liu Dan in front of him as an example, Zhang Dong painfully ate the pills.
