C6 Anger Turned into Spirit
"Too arrogant, too arrogant! Listen to what he said!" Not long after Chen Fan left, the Second Elder couldn't hold himself back anymore. The more he thought about it, the angrier he got. He pointed at the direction of the Jade Spring Peak and shouted.
"You actually want to give us a warning? I have never seen such an arrogant junior in all my years of cultivation!"
"Humph, a mere brat who is still wet behind the ears, relying on his ability, he is still questioning the patriarch of the Qing Xuan Sect. He is about to go mad."
"I remember that there was indeed a dispute in this portrait. It seems like two supreme elders have said it before. "Is there any other secret behind this..." Sixth Elder said in a low voice. He was also very angry.
"This isn't the main point of the matter. That kid has only reached the first day of our Qing Xuan Sect, yet he openly disrespected our ancestor. He clearly doesn't put us elders in his eyes, and we can't let his scheme succeed." The crowd in the hall was stirred up. Senior Expert, who was normally calm and collected, was provoked. He wished that he could summon Chen Fan back to the hall and execute his plan.
"Alright, what's the point of talking about that now? Let's get down to business. What should we do about the position of elder?" Sect Leader interrupted the other useless words. This was the most urgent matter at hand.
Bai Yu immediately pricked up his ears. This matter had the greatest connection with him, and he couldn't allow any mistakes to occur. Even if he had Ancient Token of Grand Masters, he had to try his best to persuade the elders. Otherwise, all his efforts over the past few decades would have been in vain.
"Regardless of whether it is in terms of cultivation base or qualifications, Bai Yu is definitely a qualified candidate. So what if he is a stumbling block that came out of nowhere?" It was obvious that Fifth Elder was on the former's side. This was also the opinion of most of the elders.
"Moreover, that Chen Fan's background is unknown. Just a single Ancient Token of Grand Master is enough to make him ascend to the position of elder. It's too sudden and unreasonable. In any case, it's impossible for this old man to give up the eighth seat to someone else."
"Putting aside other prejudices, this kid's aptitude is indeed superior. Why don't we take this opportunity to rope him in? He doesn't have any foundation in the Sect. At worst, we can just leave him empty. As long as the Ancient Token of Grand Master returns, everything will be fine."
Sect Leader had made his suggestion. It was a matter of great importance, and he couldn't act arbitrarily. He could only discuss it.
"Sigh, if we don't agree to his request, we can easily destroy the Ancient Token of Grand Master. If it's serious, it will be detrimental to the Qing Xuan Sect if it falls into the hands of other sects." The Great Elder's words hit the vital part.
Even if he was willing to give Chen Fan a name, the latter would not affect the upper echelons of the Qing Xuan Sect. At most, his reputation would be tarnished, and it would only make those lower ranked disciples envious.
...
On the other side, Chen Fan leisurely enjoyed the so-called elder's treatment provided by the Qing Xuan Sect. The entire cave abode was for him to stay in. The spiritual energy was so dense that it seemed like it could turn into liquid. Even the rare Spiritual Beings on the table looked very attractive.
If it was in the past, he would not even take a glance at these things. Now, he needed to recover his cultivation as much as possible. He could only reluctantly swallow it. Then, he circulated his cultivation method to refine it until it turned into strands of pure energy.
"This... Senior, do you not know that the spiritual spring inside is still flowing normally? If there is a problem, I will immediately invite someone to repair it for you."
Questions came from outside the cave. It had been a long time since this cave was opened. The disciple in charge was worried that something would go wrong.
"I still have..." Before Little Daoist could finish his fairy tale, he was stopped.
"Alright, stay away from here. Don't come and disturb me unless I allow it." Chen Fan interrupted him forcefully. He pretended to be dissatisfied and scolded the little Daoist away. As expected, he recovered from his anger. Due to the latter's cultivation level, it did not increase his strength much. It was not as obvious as the elders.
No matter how small a mosquito was, it was still meat. It was better than nothing.
"Hu!" Chen Fan let out a long breath as he felt the true power of his cultivation base. Those old men must still be discussing how to get the Qing Xuan Sect. I, a Foundation Building Stage, have a long way to go."
There was a clear classification of realms in the Cultivation Realm. From the initial Qi Refinement realm to the successful Foundation Establishment realm, Core Condensating realm, and the Transformation Golden Core realm, these were the top experts in the Cultivation Realm.
If one was lucky, one could use the fortune to condense a Nascent Soul, and after a period of cultivation and even the breakthrough of the Nascent Soul realm, one would become a true Nascent Infant expert, and one could already be called a magnate.
Moreover, there were seven stages in front of each stage. Any one of them would be able to trap countless people. Most of the time, there might not even be a few among the tens of thousands of people who managed to break through. One could even see how terrifying and difficult it was to become a high-level warrior.
With Chen Fan's current combat strength, he was roughly at the Third Transformation of Foundation Establishment. There were still four small steps to break through to the next level. He didn't want to take such a cumbersome path. He could take the shortcut now.
"I don't know where the Desolate Body will come from this time. I have to rise up again in the shortest time possible. Only then can I help. I absolutely can't let those old fellows snatch it first."
Chen Fan muttered to himself. Even though the things that he said were all secrets, he was not worried that the so-called walls would have ears.
Even if these words were spread to the Great Elder and the others, it wouldn't arouse any suspicions. Instead, it would make them even more certain of Chen Fan's crazy personality. Right now, he was afraid that the Cultivation Realm had forgotten about the existence of the Desolate Body a long time ago.
The next day, after an intense discussion in the Heaven Palace Hall, the few elders finally came to a conclusion. They called Chen Fan over to ask again.
"Chen Fan, Little Fellow Taoist, this old man and Sect Leader have been thinking about this for a long time. I think that you are still young, and it would be hard for you to accept the position of elder without thinking about it. Furthermore, the words of the Ancient Token of Grand Master cannot be admitted by those disciples outside."
Seeing Chen Fan frown, the Great Elder quickly turned his eyes and said, "However, the Qing Xuan Sect can give you a place to worship. It is only half a head lower than the elders of this old man and the rest. The status and treatment are no different."
"Chen Fan, Little Fellow Taoist, I wonder if this is possible?"
Sect Leader asked tentatively. This was also their bottom line. Compared to the vague fortune of the Sect, this was also their bottom line. Not to mention getting a young elder at such a special juncture, but it would be less stressful if it was in the name of consecration.
No matter what, he was the famous Senior Expert in the Great Desolate, but he wanted to coax the little kid in this great hall. Only these two old fellows could say it, but the other six elders all kept a straight face and didn't say a word. If they weren't afraid of the Ancient Token of Grand Master, they really wanted to tear this kid to pieces.
"Oh, it's barely possible, right?" Chen Fan didn't force it too much. Asking for the position of elder from the very beginning really made the old fellows feel a little awkward. He decided to take a step back first.
