Chapter 11: Apprenticeship Ceremony
The square was thousands of meters wide with a large platform in the middle and a dozen chairs at the back of the platform.
“Do you see the chairs behind? Those are the position of the leaders of major peaks. They probably won’t come but send representatives.” Qiu Zen said.
In a grass house behind the peak of the Arctic Front of Medicine Valley, an old man sat cross-legged and a teenager stood on his side. If Ye Shang was here, he would have recognized this boy. It was Qin Zen.
“Zen, why don’t you go to cultivate?” The old man opened his eyes and his eyes flashed when blinking.
“Well, Master, a teenager came with me. He treated me very well. I hope that Master can help him to keep him in Medicine Valley.” Qin Zen hesitated and said.
“Zen, Medicine Valley has its rules. Just like you, you are now my grand-disciple, but not the disciple of Medicine Valley. You must enter Medicine Valley with your own ability.” The old man looked at Qin Zen and said, then closed his eyes after finishing the sentence.
Qin Zen didn’t continue to speak, but continued to meditate at the side. The old man was the peak leader of the Arctic Front. Everyone had to obey his words, not to mention Qin Zen, even in Medicine Valley.
Qin Zen started meditating, but he couldn’t calm down.
“Fine! I will take you to take a look. If he can’t be accepted, he can only do the chores.” The old man stood up and came out of the grass house, followed by Qin Zen.
Out of the grass house, the old man flicked his robe cuffs and a stream of air around him wrapped up Qin Zen and moved towards the bottom of the peak. The old man didn’t even touch the mountain road, but went straight to his destination. The valley was like a flat surface under his feet.
Qin Zen was shocked by their flight. Cultivators at the condensing soul realm of cultivation base couldn’t do it. Only the cultivators who have golden soul cultivation base could do it.
The Arctic Front was a thousand miles away from the gate of Medicine Valley, but with the rapid travel of the old man, they arrived instantly.
The old man arrived at the square and landed directly in front of the platform. At the time, only a seat in front of the platform was vacant and the others were occupied.
After seeing the old man, everyone sitting on the chair stood up, bowed, and greeted. One of them came out and bowed in front of the old man.
The old man nodded and went straight to the seat belonging to the Arctic Front.
“It seems to be the blessing of the disciples that Master Uncle can come in person.” The middle-aged man sitting in the middle position clasped his hands.
“Lingxiao, your cultivation base is becoming better, the family of Senior Brother is really outstanding.” The old man nodded to the middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man Chu Lingxiao was the manager of Danding Peak of Medicine Valley. He was also the host of each apprenticeship ceremony.
“Who is the supervising elder? He hasn’t come yet.” The old man frowned at the vacant seat.
“Junior Brother has forgotten, but we can’t think of the arrival of Third Senior Brother.” An old man in black robe appeared in the square and then flashed to the vacant seat.
“Junior Brother Liu, you’re here? Are you the supervisor?” The old man was shocked to see the old man in black robe.
“Yeah, more than a decade ago, it was my turn to supervise, but I have forgotten it because of seclusion. So I can’t forget it this time. In addition, there aren’t many disciples on my Taixuan Peak, so I must recruit more people.” The old man said and sat down at the same time.
“Taixuan Peak Leader, Liu Yangyu!”
“He is really the peak master of Medicine Valley!”
“The other one is the peak leader of the Arctic Front, Yan Arctic. He’s also a great master.”
Not far away, the whispers came into the ears of Ye Shang, making him size Liu Yangyu up.
“Ye Shang, Medicine Valley is famous for refining pills, but Leader Liu is famous for his strong military strength in Jinyan Mountains.” Qiu Zen looked admiring.
Chu Lingxiao clasped his hand against Yan Arctic and Liu Yangyu and announced that Medicine Valley Apprentice Ceremony had officially began.
First, they verified the qualifications. There was an old man checking the bone age and cultivation. Medicine Valley wouldn’t accept those whose bone age was over 18.
The youngsters lined up and came to the old man with their plates one by one.
After half an hour, it was Ye Shang’s turn.
Ye Shang stretched his arm to the old man and let the old man check it.
“1126, bone aged 14.” The old man yelled at a young disciple on the side.
“1126! Sorry, your cultivation base is only at the Qi-refining stage 3and you can’t meet the requirements of our apprenticeship.” The elite disciple in charge of recording said.
“How did the rules of the apprenticeship change this year?” Yan Arctic looked at the elite disciple who was responsible for recording and asked.
“Yes, the minimum standard for this year’s apprenticeship is Qi-refining stage 4. There are 4 boys at Qi-refining stage 3 in the registration. We need to remove them from the list.” The elite disciple bowed and said.
Yan Arctic glanced at Qin Zen, who stood on one side, meaning that he could do nothing.
“You should work hard and come back next year. Next one.” The elite disciple who was in charge of registration said to Ye Shang. Although the disciple refused him, the disciple was still very polite to answer him.
“Can you give me a try? Can you give me just one chance?” Ye Shang was really unwilling to be eliminated. Coming all the way from Zhuyuan Village, Ye Shang couldn’t accept the result.
“Well, can you reach the benchmarks of Qi-refining stage 4? Lingxiao, can you give him a chance?” Yan Arctic said with a smile. He noticed that Qin Zen looked somewhat disappointed.
He wanted Qin Zen to cultivate single-mindedly and not to be distracted by Ye Shang.
At the time, Chu Lingxiao looked at Liu Yangyu since the supervisor of apprenticeship ceremony this time was Liu Yangyu.
“Young people don’t easily admit defeat. Good temperament! Are rules of the second round of assessment still the same?” Liu Yangyu asked.
“The second round has not changed, but the distance has increased by half a meter. Now we have to choose the best and we have no time to cultivate mediocrity.” Chu Lingxiao said.
“Then let him try. Since he has come, just give him a fair chance.” Liu Yangyu nodded and said, fixing his eyes on Ye Shang.
As Chu Lingxiao waved his hand, several disciples came and carried a 3-meter-high stone wall. In addition, a disciple came with a fine steel column with the width of a human’s arm.
Chu Lingyu stood up and took the fine steel column from the hands of the disciple. He walked to the platform and volleyed. He exhaled and swung his arms, inserting the fine steel column into the black rock ground.
The elite disciple measured the distance and placed the stone wall.
“Now you go to hit the column, as long as the column bends and touches the touchstone, you can pass.” Chu Lingxiao walked down the platform and said to Ye Shang.
