C223 092 Elder Guan

To become a direct disciple, one had to be nurtured by them with great effort, and even inherit everything they had. Thus, many elders had extremely strict requirements for their direct disciples, so at the very least, there was a eighty percent chance of them becoming a Holy Lord Stage in the future.

Furthermore, he had to at least reach the Holy Lord Stage before the age of fifty. Otherwise, he would be a trembling old man who was about to die.

Therefore, because the direct disciples of the elders were too strict, the elders still did not hold high hopes for the new inner disciples. Although Ye Han had reached the peak of the Nine-Star Silver Stage at the age of fifteen, it was also because he was too young that the elders did not dare to bet their treasures.

After all, some people used up all their potential in the early stages, but had no way of advancing in the later stages.

This sort of thing was not common in the past. Thus, every elder had more than one direct disciple, and some of them even had three or four.

If Ye Han was an inner court disciple, he would be able to increase his strength at a super fast rate, perhaps these elders would accept Ye Han as their direct disciple. But no matter what, Ye Han had already entered the eyes of the elders, and was preparing to focus on the future. Some elders were even thinking about whether to recruit Ye Han as an ordinary disciple ahead of time and just become Ye Han's teacher.

Shun Xuyuan was also honored. However, his pale face made many of the elders slightly displeased with Shun Xuyuan's first impression.

The battle between Ye Han and Shun Xuyuan had just ended, however, the elders and Zi Xingtian had not received any information. Otherwise, Ye Han would have been snatched away by the elders not too long ago.

Previously, Elder Sun was worried that the sect master and elders would blame them, so he didn't mention this matter. After all, it was already a bit late when they came to see him, and Elder Sun could clearly feel that these higher-ups were a bit unhappy. If he said it out, the higher ups would blame him for this and he would be done for.

Elder Sun didn't know that because of his concealment, many of the higher level elders regretted it. They wished they could beat Elder Sun up.

"..."

In the hall, an elder filled with killing intent said coldly: "That Shun Xuyuan, just become my ordinary disciple. If you perform well in the future, you can become my direct disciple."

This elder specifically dealt with a few matters of murder in the Astral Sect, so he had a good impression of Shun Xuyuan's cleanliness and decisiveness.

When the other elders saw this, they also nodded and nodded their heads. However, they did not become their direct disciples, nor did they become their ordinary disciples. Instead, they directly became disciples.

Zi Xingtian sighed inwardly, was Astral Sect going to decline like this? It should be known that out of the Astral Sect from several dozens of years ago, there would always be one or two new inner disciples that would be called upon to become direct disciples, but now …

"That Ye Han can become my direct disciple!"

They could not be more familiar with the owner of this voice. In the entire Astral Sect, other than the sect master, the elder had the highest status.

"Elder Guan?"

Zi Xingtian was stunned at first, but soon after, he revealed an expression of enlightenment.

not only was Elder Guan himself a Intermediate Level of the Holy Lord Stage expert, he was also a High Grade of the Sixth Rank alchemist and an alchemist who had stepped into the Realm of the Pill King with a single step. A few years ago, Elder Guan even accidentally refined a Seventh Stage King Pellet!

Even though it was just a coincidence that Elder Guan did not manage to refine a Stage Seven beast core again in the future, but even so, I have to admit that the power of Elder Guan's pill refining skills is publicly recognized as the number one person in terms of Astral Sect!

Furthermore, Zi Xingtian and many other elders believed that in a few years, when Elder Guan's cultivation breaks through to Advanced Holy Lord Stage, his pill refining skills will have a breakthrough and become a pill refiner of Realm of the Pill King in one fell swoop. At that time, Elder Guan's position in the Qingtian Empire might even surpass Zi Xingtian's!

The other elders clearly knew that Ye Han was likely to be a Rank 4 alchemist, so they were not too surprised. To be able to reach such a level in alchemy at just 15 years of age, even these elders were impressed by Ye Han. However, they were not alchemists, and were not interested in Ye Han's alchemy skills.

However, many of the elders held some sympathy for Ye Han as well. The way that Elder Guan taught the direct disciples was really not flattering. The other elders took great care of the direct disciples, and they were afraid that the direct disciples would be wronged. This was also the reason why the direct disciples held such high status and no one dared to offend them.

You can ask him about alchemy. Of course, the prerequisite is that Elder Guan has the time and even the freedom to go into the room that Elder Guan has specially arranged for you. Inside are all kinds of books on alchemy, some of which are the experiences of senior alchemists, it can be said to be quite precious.

What's more, you can freely leave the herb storage room that Elder Guan specially arranged. There are a lot of precious herbs inside.

However, there was only one thing, no matter what grievances one suffered, Elder Guan would not stand up for you. For those direct disciples of Elder Guan, other than learning alchemy and reading alchemy books being better than other direct disciples, the rest of them were basically the same as ordinary inner disciples. In fact, if they lost and lost Elder Guan's face, their identity as direct disciples would be removed.

Not only that, but every half year, Elder Guan would sternly assess the direct disciple. If they couldn't pass, their status as a direct disciple would also be revoked.

Those who became the direct disciple of Elder Guan felt as if they had entered hell, suffering unspeakably. Many people couldn't stand it any longer and took the initiative to revoke their status as direct disciples.

However, because of this, those who could survive under Master Guan's hands were still doing well.

For example, the two direct disciples that Elder Guan currently had, one of them was a High-Level Purple Jade Grade Stage cultivator, while the other was a Middle Level of the Purple Jade Stage alchemist. As for those of the same generation as these two, many of them were still stuck at the middle level of the fifth step, with a small portion being only at the bottom level of the fifth step.1

Ye Han became a direct disciple by name, so he didn't know if it was a blessing or a curse.

Zi Xingtian said he was also very interested in this. Someone his daughter had her eyes on wouldn't be easily defeated, right?

"..."
