Big Bodhi

Chapter 61:

"Junior Brother Ji! It turned out the rumored person with the Tong Xuan Heart Ghost bloodline is actually you." Jiao Xiuyu, stood quietly in the Eclipse Moon Peak atrium, looking up at the huge light curtain list with a complex expression on his face.

"If I had known this, I would've befriended you earlier!" Xu Yan, Li Zhao, and others were also dumbfounded by this newly found information. A lot of discussions ensued outside, as they walked out of their attic courtyard, looking at the ranking list.

"Senior Brother Jiao, I heard that you have some friendship with Senior Brother Ji. If you have time, can you introduce me to him?" An atrium disciple approached with an ingratiating look and spoke cautiously towards Jiao Xiuyu.

Jiao Xiuyu glanced at him, but before he could say anything, almost all the disciples in the Eclipse Moon Peak atrium swarmed over. Surrounding Jiao Xiuyu like a star on the moon, their words were full of flattery.

"Senior Brother Jiao, can you give me a piece of Senior Brother Ji's Communication Jade Talisman? I am willing to exchange it for five primeval stones!" A disciple gritted his teeth and took out several Yuan stones from his storage bag.

"Senior Brother Jiao, I heard you have a close relationship with Junior Brother Ji. Even today, you personally sent him to Tongming Peak's, Luoxia Hall to participate in the assessment. Senior Brother has an unkind request..."

"Senior Brother Jiao..."

Since Jiao Xiuyu entered the Eclipse Moon Peak, all he had encountered was cold words and seclusion, but now he was treated with such enthusiasm by these disciples, which made him feel a little at a loss for a while.

"A group of people who follow the power trend, are you blind or deaf? That Ji Yuenian has already chosen the Xingyuan Peak to pursue cultivation within the Outer Sect. I'm afraid this proud Demon who walked through the 300 stone steps will not return to the Eclipse Moon Peak again."

The sound of laughter spread throughout the atrium, and the disciples all turned their heads and glared at the person who opened his mouth.

The man didn't care about the disciples' gaze, he just looked at Jiao Xiuyu with some pity, while saying, "Jiao Xiuyu, as a demon, you suffered a lot of injustice in this human-led sect. Yet you still work hard to protect those new disciples. I really don't know what your actions mean! I advise you, in the future, you may have a chance to break into the realm of Returning to the Truth, if you continue to be so kind..."

Jiao Xiuyu pulled out a smile and said, "Senior Brother Liu, I know."

With a snort, Senior Brother Liu turned around and left the atrium.

"Is it true that Junior Brother Ji won't go back to Eclipse Moon Peak?" Most of the disciples quickly cooled down, except for a few who stayed encircled around Jiao Xiuyu, hoping for an answer.

"Indeed, Junior Brother Ji choose Xingyuan Peak, and it's a good thing to be able to get away from Eclipse Moon Peak." Jiao Xiuyu sighed, "Eclipse Moon Peak has never had a real peak master at the helm. This led to the disciples in the peak having to work hard on their own to break into the realm of Returning to the Truth. Which is unsuitable for an enchanting genius like Junior Brother Ji."

After hearing this, the disciples gradually scattered away, leaving only Li Zhao and Xu Yan, who had coaxed Ji Yuenian earlier to remain by Jiao Xiuyu's side. One of them asked, "Senior Brother Jiao, what is your relationship with that Ji Yuenian? Now that he has shown his amazing qualities, risen to the top, and has become a candidate Holy Son, such that we are not even qualified to look up to him. Are you not able to glean the slightest bit of advantage to your name?"

Xu Yan from the side said sourly: "Yeah, it's all thanks to Senior Brother Jiao. Today, you turned into your demonic form and took Ji Yuenian to Luoxia Hall to participate in the assessment. Now that this brute has gained power, he has forgotten all his fellow disciples in the Eclipse Moon Peak, it is really disgusting!"

At the end of the day, they were just trying to gain some advantage. But now, even Jiao Xiuyu, who was most familiar with Ji Yuenian, was not sure whether the candidate Holy Son would return to the Eclipse Moon Peak again. Which further swept away any hopes of this atrium disciples trying to climb the ladder of hierarchy.

Jiao Xiuyu shook his head and said, "I didn't help Junior Brother Ji much to ask for anything in return. It's enough that I have a clear conscience going down the path of cultivation."

After speaking, he ignored Li Zhao and Xu Yan, and the others turned around and walked towards his attic.

"Brother Ji."

"Greetings, Brother Ji."

Countless salutations echoed in his ears, and Ji Yuenian surrounded by Yin Qi of heaven and earth just stepped out, jumped several meters high, and landed on top of Peak Master Xingyuan, Li Shixuan's Imperial Chariot.

"You performed excellently in the fourth level assessment." Li Shixuan gave him a deep look and said in a meaningful tone, "The 'illusion' had been recorded by the jade artifact. This will be a great benefit for your future when compete for the position of the Third Mountain Range's Holy Son."

"Thank you, Peak Master Xinguan." Ji Yuenian bowed to Li Shixuan and thanked him.

"No need to be polite," Li Shixuan pointed to the Chaoxia Hall in the distance, "The top 100 disciples of the entrance examination will be rewarded in the Chaoxia Hall, I will take you there."

Ji Yueniaodded, then the imperial chariot under his feet trembled, and after a few breaths, it turned into a rainbow of light, and went straight into the Chaoxia Hall on the Tongming Peak.

When seeing Li Shixuan's imperial chariot driving past to the hall, many of the disciples standing below were envious and talked among themselves.

After the examination, the main peak master personally took him into the Chaoxia Hall. What an honor!

Disciples who scored within 5,000 in the entrance examination were all rewarded. However, the rewards were divided into several grades, one grade between 5,000 -- 2,000, and one grade between 2,000 -- 1,000, which were the two worst rewards in comparison.

The rewards for the 1,000th to 500th places were much better than these two grades, and the rewards for the 500th to 100th places were enough to make even the Outer Disciples of the Upper Profound Realm jealous!

An ordinary disciple of the Outer Sect only had two primeval stones as a monthly share of resource, while the reward for the five hundred to one hundred, there were as many as ten for a single unit stone!

An ordinary disciple of the Outer Sect only had two primeval stones as a monthly allotted resource, while the reward for those who were ranked in between 500 and 100 would be as many as 10 stones!

As for the top 100, it was given by the many peak masters in the Great Chaoxia Hall. Most importantly, it was the time for the 10 top peaks of the Luoxia mountain Range and several other unique peaks to choose their disciples.

Inside the great Chaoxia Hall.

Unlike Ji Yuenian, who was personally picked by the Peak Master Xingyuan, the rest of the disciples all came on foot from the Luoxia Hall. They only managed to reach the Chaoxia Hall after a full two incense sticks of time and entered one after another, standing quietly on one side; awaiting orders from the peak masters.

More than ten peak masters were sitting on top of the honorable seats, and their eyes shuttled back and forth within these 100 disciples.

On the other hand, Ji Yuenian stood alone on one side of the hall, separate from the other ninety-nine disciples. Currently, the other ninety-nine people were all looking at Ji Yuenian with complex eyes, with varying expressions.

The second place was Yu Yan.

Liu Baishui of the Liu family of Xiangcheng was in seventh place.

As well as the Lu family's Lu Changye, and the deer demon Lu Mingxi were ranked tenth.
