"Ye Ling, come forward!"
Seeing that all the disciples had no objections, Sect Master Zhao secretly let out a sigh of relief, summoned Ye Ling to the stone steps of the main hall, and began to formally award the reward.
"The master of this sect makes you the eldest disciple of the sect! From now on, you are the eldest brother of the qi training disciples of the Yaogu Sect! You will be given a high-level rejuvenation jade slip, five bottles of the Ruyi Divine Transformation Pill, and a Seven-Yao Pill Furnace."
Sect Leader Zhao put all the rewards he had prepared in advance into the brocade storage bag, solemnly delivered them to Ye Ling, and then ordered: "The high-level rejuvenation technique is the secret technique of the sect, and it can be called the most important treasure of the sect! Jade! The slip has the spiritual brand of our sect leader, which should be destroyed immediately after practicing! It must not be passed on to anyone else."
Ye Ling's heart was shaken, and he quickly took it and bowed: "Disciple, please obey the master's orders."
All the qi training disciples in the entire Taoist altar, and even the elders in the foundation building stage, looked at Ye Ling with extremely envious and jealous eyes.
If looks could kill, Ye Ling would probably die thousands of times!
In their opinion, rewarding Ye Ling with Ruyi Divine Transformation Pill and Qiyao Pill Furnace is nothing more than rewarding her. As Elder Cui said, Ye Ling is extremely talented in alchemy, and Ye Ling deserves these.
But high-level rejuvenation is different!
The disciples of the Yaogu Sect, both the outer and inner sects, can only learn low-level rejuvenation techniques, and their treatment capabilities and scope are very limited; as for the mid-level rejuvenation techniques, they are only awarded to those who have made great contributions to the sect, or who have Ranked first in all previous outer disciple competitions.
The high-level rejuvenation jade slips have always been a secret of Yao Valley and are only passed down to the sect leader! Now, with this move of Sect Master Zhao, he undoubtedly regards Ye Ling as a true disciple of the sect and as a candidate for the next Sect Master!
Zuo Boming, Xie Xiang and Yuan Hao immediately woke up from the dejected loss. They stared at the storage bag in Ye Ling's hand with burning eyes. The shock just now turned into unwillingness and hatred towards Ye Ling. !
Even Foundation Establishment Elder Zhou Chong's face was livid, and his hatred for Ye Ling was overwhelming! He secretly swore in his heart that no matter what, he would find an opportunity to plot against Ye Ling to get rid of his troubles!
After Ye Ling received the reward, the more than a thousand Yaogu disciples in the Taoist altar discussed in secret for a while.
Among the crowd, the most excited person was Sun Erhu. In order to continue to serve Senior Brother Ye in the future, he took the lead and shouted: "Sun Erhu pays homage to Senior Brother!"
His voice immediately reminded everyone!
Now Ye Ling is no longer what he used to be. He is probably the next leader of the Medicine Valley Sect. They all immediately became enthusiastic and shouted:
"Inner Sect Zhang Yong, meet Senior Brother!"
"Elite disciple Huang Chang, congratulations to Senior Brother Ye! After training in Dong Lingze, we will definitely obey Senior Brother's orders!"
"He Jingsheng congratulates senior brother!"
Su Qin and Zi Shan also bowed to Ye Ling Wanfu, having met their senior brother.
Ye Ling bowed his head in return, standing in front of more than a thousand Yaogu qi training disciples, ranking first among Zuo Boming and Xie Xiang.
Zuo Boming had no choice but to salute with a dark face and cupped his fists.
For the sake of Ye Ling's promising future, Xie Xiang smiled sweetly and was deeply blessed. She had already ignored the fact that Ye Ling was one level lower than her in cultivation and called her senior brother.
Ye Ling nodded and returned the salute with his fists clasped. Both Zuo Boming and Xie Xiang had an expression of neither coldness nor indifference.
This made Xie Xiang extremely depressed, and she secretly hated her in her heart: "Humph! Why are you putting on such a stinky air? You're showing her charming eyes to a blind man! It's rare for me to be so attentive, but she doesn't even look at her."
Sect Leader Zhao also explained the preparations that the elite disciples should make before rushing to Donglingze. Before departure, the sect distributed a corresponding array of flags, tents, spiritual talismans and other items.
As for the elixir, Sect Master Zhao glanced at Ye Ling with deep meaning, and then said to the twenty or so elite disciples: "I have ordered your senior disciple Ye Ling to refine your third-level God-Returning elixir, and your senior brother will naturally distribute it at that time." For you."
Everyone was startled. Many of the elite disciples were greedy for the sect's elixirs, and they became more and more respectful to Senior Brother Ye Ling.
"Hehe, I would like to congratulate you, Senior Brother, for your alchemy skills to reach a higher level!"
"That's right, Senior Brother Ye was promoted to Alchemist in just one month! I'm afraid it won't take long, and the promotion to Alchemist is just around the corner!"
The disciples of the great cultivator family, such as Yuan Hao, had no shortage of top-quality elixirs. They snorted coldly, saying that they would never take the God-returning elixir refined by Ye Ling.
After everything was explained clearly, Sect Leader Zhao led the elders back to the Medicine Valley Hall and dismissed the disciples on the Taoist altar.
At this time, countless qi training disciples congratulated Ye Ling one after another. Whether they were familiar with Ye Ling in daily life or those who had never spoken a word to him, they all became enthusiastic now.
Except for the three friends He Jingsheng, Suqin and Zishan who had met with him as gifts, Ye Ling was still indifferent to others. He said calmly to everyone: "I still have to go to the sect medicine warehouse to collect the sacred grass and honeysuckle. Refining the elixir immediately, everyone takes your leave!"
"Yes! I understand, I understand, senior brother, walk slowly!"
"Hehe, for a small matter such as collecting medicinal materials, the younger brother will do it for the senior brother. Why should the senior brother go there in person?"
There were even many female disciples from the inner sect, all of whom had bright eyes and asked shyly: "I wonder if the senior brother needs someone to make medicine, take care of the alchemy furnace, and serve someone? I would like to be a helper for the senior brother." maid."
Ye Ling's scalp felt numb after hearing this. He waved his hand, rejected everyone's kindness, and walked away in separate groups.
After he left, Yuan Hao and a group of other disciples from the Immortal Cultivation Family gathered together, each filled with indignation and cursing in a low voice.
"What's so great about Ye Ling? He actually occupies the position of top disciple! I'm the first to refuse to accept it!"
"The sect leader is fatuous! He only protects his direct disciples. He left Zuo Boming and Xie Xiang, two highly cultivated direct disciples, and chose Ye Ling! Wouldn't it mean that the other four major sects around Fengqiao Town would be disappointed? joke!"
"That's right! What ability does Ye Ling have? Alchemy, haha! Who knows whether what Elder Cui said is true or false? Even if Ye Ling's alchemy talent is really great, what about killing the foundation-building monk? Even if he kills me, I won't believe it. ! Most of the foundation-building monks of the Lu family were killed by the sect leader because he didn’t like it, so it must be like this if his disciples take the credit!"
The dissatisfaction and anger of these people struck a chord in the heart of Yuan Hao, the young master of the Yuan family.
Yuan Hao said in a deep voice: "No matter whether what the sect master and Elder Cui said is true or not, this damn Ye Ling, I am not done with him! I lost all my face in the competition between the outer disciples, and now I have won a high-level Rejuvenation Technique, but he also asked us to respectfully call him Senior Brother, it’s hateful!”
"Please rest assured, Young Master Yuan! From now on, we will only listen to Young Master Yuan's orders! If you don't listen to Ye Ling, no one is allowed to call him Senior Brother, do you understand?"
Many children of the Immortal Cultivation Family expressed their support for Young Master Yuan and wanted to isolate Ye Ling.
Sun Erhu mingled in the crowd, heard their dissatisfied and angry comments, and quietly withdrew from the crowd, wishing he could report the news to his senior brother immediately.
