Painting of the Nine Immortals - Chapter 620

Chapter 620
The Shang Qing Sect is insanely capable with as many powerhouses as there are clouds . It is one of the controlling forces that dominates Yuezhou .



Naturally, there exists many different paths one can follow inside this extremely capable force . Or rather, there are many different roles its pupils and descendants get to choose and follow .

With the cultivation path as the most respectable and the main path, the Shang Qing Sect has four peaks in total and is a great place to cultivate . After all, capabilities is the reason why people can stand tall in the Taoism community .

Then, there are the paths of alchemy, crafts, and ancient arrays . Compared to the path of cultivation, these three paths are more lacking in status .

If a cultivator feels that he or she is more talented in one of these paths, he or she can pick one and join that one .

Therefore, when a new pupil was accepted, the four commanders of the four different divisions always come to the Path Choosing Pavilion and pick the pupil they want to bring back .

Currently, all the commanders have gathered and were waiting for the new pupil's arrival . They have already gotten the news that an undefeatable Heaven's Favorite of the meditational level appeared in this year's test . Therefore, all four leaders, responsible for the four different peaks of the cultivation path all arrived .

The other three leaders also arrived, but they knew very well that for a Heaven's Favorite with such talent in cultivation, they will not be chosen . Therefore, coming here today was just out of courtesy . They didn't want to break any rules .

When Ling Xian walked into the great hall, the cultivation leaders glanced at him and searched him using his Qi .

The other three leaders did the same . There remained admiration in their eyes, just not as intensely as the four cultivation leaders .

"I am Xian Ling, it is a pleasure to meet all of you elders . " Ling Xian faintly smiled, and exclaimed .

He could recall all seven of these elders . Now that they were meeting again, he naturally felt the need to exclaim .



At this, a middle-aged man smiled in satisfaction . "Not arrogant, not cocky, not restrained; he has a great mentality . "

"That's right . Mentality, capabilities, and talent wise, he is a top notch candidate and a great Heaven's Favorite . " A stalky looking man with a round face compliments, "The pupil will be the Peak of Battle's . "

At that, many people interrupted to argue .

The first one to speak was a proper looking woman . She glared at the round-faced man and said, "Don't you know the rule of the Shang Qing Sect? All those who pass the test gets the right to choose . In other words, he gets to choose who he picks . It's not us who pick which candidates we want . "

Then, she shifted her gaze towards Ling Xian and revealed a beautiful smile .

"Young man, come to the Peak of Sanit . I can provide you with powerful techniques, high quality Dans, and an endless amount of whatever resources you need . "

Hearing this, Ling Xian grinned but didn't comment .

He had already predicted that after displaying his insane capabilities, he would snatch the attention of all four peak leaders . He originally did want to choose one of the four peaks in the cultivation path, but on the way here, he changed his mind .

Against the tempting offer made by the leader of the Peak of Saint, he didn't answer right away .

Seeing this, the beautiful woman raised an eyebrow, resulting in all the other peaks' leaders laughing .

"Young one, join the Peak of the God . Whatever she offered, I can give you even more . Whatever she cannot offer, I can give you also . " A man with an icy cold temperament spoke .



Then, the Peak of Dao leader also spoke . He didn't say much, but they were hefty words .

"Come to the Peak of Dao . I will give you whatever you want . "

At his words, the other three peak leaders frowned . Though this statement was a little exaggerated, it was enough to prove the Dao Peak's determination to have Ling Xian .

What could they do? His talent and capabilities were all good enough to be known as a real genius . Whichever wing receives him as a pupil receives a huge load of honor and glory . Naturally all four peak leaders desired him .

"What an exaggerated statement . "

The icy cold man pouted, "Though your peak is the most powerful, you have no rights to make such presumptuous words . "

"The Peak of Dao leader ignored him and instead, focused on Ling Xian, "Out of the four peaks in Shang Qing Sect, the Path of Dao has the strongest capabilities . That is something we can all agree on . So, you better think clearly which path do you want to get on so that it can make your cultivation journey full of potential?"

Ling Xian had a faint smile on his lips, but he remained silent .

He spent a handful of time at Shang Qing Sect and naturally knew very well the pros and cons of each of the four peaks . However, in terms of overall capabilities, or leader capabilities alone, the Dao Peak overruled the other ones .

Pity though, if the Immortal of Crafts didn't awaken, he would've considered joining the Dao Peak . However, now he had plans to learn crafts . One, he wanted to take a break from going to places where war happens every day, for two, he wanted to learn some knowledge about crafts .

After all, if he went to any of the four peaks, his life would compose of fighting and battling . He was of the completion level . How could he bear fighting against a bunch of unskilled kids?

If he chooses the Path of Crafts and study all the different treasures, that would be different . Not only can he save the trouble of fighting against little kids, he can also absorb some knowledge – killing two birds with one stone .

"Xian Ling, there are many beauties at the Peak of Saint . If you come, you might get yourself a nice little companion . " The beautiful lady smiled, trying to entice Ling Xian with beauties .

"About that… thank you for your kind intentions, Saint Peak leader . " Ling Xian chuckled, shaking his head .

"Xian Ling, all four of peak leaders personally arrived just for you and made you so many promises . "

The Dao Peak leader spoke slowly, "I hope you can quickly make up your mind . Don't worry, the Shang Qing Sect rules state that you can choose whichever path you want . No matter which peak you choose, I will not blame you . "

Pausing, he then added, "However, I do hope that you will think for your future and choose a place that suits your growth the most . "

Once again, the hidden meaning behind that was that he should choose the Dao Peak .

Sadly, Ling Xian's final decision was not within the expectation of the Dao Peak leader, nor within the expectation of anyone there .

"I am grateful for all of your kind intentions . However, I have always been interested in craftsmanship . Therefore, I choose the Path of Crafts . "

At his words, everyone fell into awe .

The leader of the Path of Crafts in particular, was wide eyed and he really did not think Ling Xian would make such a decision .

He only came today to be courteous . He never thought he had the chance to acquire such a pupil . This was something obvious to everyone . A Heaven's Favorite with Royal Leveled talent, and battling capabilities, why would he choose a path of profession?

Yet before his eyes, Ling Xian really did choose a profession . Why wouldn't everyone there be shocked?

Luckily, nobody there was ordinary . After moments of shock, they regained their composure .

"Xian Ling, I hope you can think about this carefully . With your talent, if you choose a profession, then it's a waste of talent . " The Dao Peak leader was expressionless, nobody could tell if he was happy or mad .

The other three peak leaders didn't speak . However, their brows were tightly furrowed, revealing how they were feeling .

They didn't want Ling Xian to pick a path of profession

Because it wasn't just a waste of talent, it was him destroying his own path and future!

For someone with such talent in cultivation to choose a profession, anyone would think he was playing with his future .

However, Ling Xian didn't think so .

He was already a completion leveled powerhouse and he wasn't there in the Shang Qing Sect to cultivate . Plus, he had the inheritance from the Immortal of Crafts . If he doesn't study, that would be a waste of an opportunity!

Therefore, Ling Xian made a very firm statement that angered the four peak leaders so much, they flapped their sleeves and left .

"I have made my final decision . Four peak leaders, please save your words . "
