Chapter 1204: Chapter 1204: Chen Tianlong Is Chosen

Chen Tianlong and the others were waiting in the hall, while Pure Yang Feifei followed in. Inside, Elder Yun Zhonghe sat by the table, poured a cup of tea, and took a sip.

"Master, I..."

Pure Yang Feifei was about to say something when Elder Yun Zhonghe spoke.

"Hey, Feifei, don’t say anything. I have my plans."

Elder Yun Zhonghe raised his hand to stop Pure Yang Feifei.

Outside, Chen Tianlong and Hao Shuai were anxiously waiting, when suddenly numerous objects flew out of the room. Chen Tianlong caught one casually and, upon closer inspection, was speechless—it turned out to be aniseed beans.

Isn’t this what Old Chen likes to eat?

Hao Shuai leapt into the air, using both hands to skillfully catch every single aniseed bean, thinking this might be Elder Yun Zhonghe testing their martial arts cultivation, so he showcased his skills to the fullest.

Landing, Hao Shuai held a handful of beans in his hands, while Chen Tianlong had just one bean pinched between his fingers.

Feeling quite pleased with himself, Hao Shuai thought he had done far better than Chen Tianlong this time, thinking, "This fool, unaware they’re testing martial arts cultivation, thinks he can compete with me with that brain of his, huh!"

Suddenly, Elder Yun Zhonghe flashed in front of them like lightning.

"Haha, I’ve already chosen one of you to become my disciple. My disciple selection criteria are known to all—at most, I take one disciple a year, and one of you will be my next student."

Hao Shuai secretly laughed, thinking, "Chen Tianlong, you’ve been smart all your life, yet you’ve fallen short at this crucial moment, haven’t you?"

Chen Tianlong was surprised, tossing the bean in his hand playfully, then said with a grin, "Elder Yun Zhonghe, you like to eat aniseed beans, huh? I like them too, haha."

"Yes, I enjoy pairing little liquor with aniseed beans. It may seem plain, but it has another kind of charm." freewёbnoνel.com

Seeing Chen Tianlong not asking to be his disciple and instead starting a casual chat, Elder Yun Zhonghe felt this person was unfathomable and had a sense about him that even he couldn’t perceive.

If Chen Tianlong had immediately asked if he could be his disciple or similar things, Elder Yun Zhonghe would have been slightly disappointed; being overly concerned with such matters might lead one’s mind astray.

Hao Shuai found it amusing that Chen Tianlong had said something so seemingly out of place. Thinking the conversation was about discipleship and Chen Tianlong was talking about aniseed beans, he felt it was disrespectful.

Seeing an opportunity, Hao Shuai quickly knelt on the ground and said, "Elder, please accept me as your disciple. I will learn attentively and live up to your expectations."

Just enjoying his conversation with Chen Tianlong, Elder Yun Zhonghe was briefly taken aback by Hao Shuai’s large gesture. After hearing Hao Shuai’s request, he shook his head, confirming his decision not to take him.

Too eager and self-important.

Seeing Hao Shuai’s behavior, Elder Yun Zhonghe discerned Hao Shuai’s impatient nature, unable to enjoy life fully, always seeking gain. If he were to train, there’s no telling if he’d end up possessed.

"Hey, Hao Shuai, what are you doing? Did I say I would take you as my disciple?" fгeewebnovёl.com

Elder Yun Zhonghe asked with a hint of doubt.

"Huh?"

Hao Shuai was dumbfounded, his face burning as if set ablaze, feeling ashamed.

"Alright, stand up. I’ve already found my disciple. Hao Shuai, if you wish to stay, you can stay for two days. Otherwise, you should head back."

Elder Yun Zhonghe didn’t consider whether Hao Shuai cared about his pride or not. His personality was odd; he liked what he liked, and if he didn’t like something, he wouldn’t bother with others’ feelings.

Elder Yun Zhonghe had already achieved Celestial Dao Great Perfection, was uninterested in worldly emotions, and certainly wouldn’t fear retaliation.

With Celestial Dao Great Perfection strength, what was there to be afraid of from someone like Hao Shuai?

"Elder Yun Zhonghe, the disciple you’re referring to—is it Chen Tianlong?" Hao Shuai, though defeated, asked unwillingly.

"Indeed, Chen Tianlong is the disciple I favor. As for you, you genuinely don’t meet my requirements." Elder Yun Zhonghe spoke frankly, unafraid of offending anyone.

"What? Why, didn’t I perform better just now than Chen Tianlong? I caught more beans than he did!" Hao Shuai protested, thinking Elder Yun Zhonghe looked down on him.

"You’re overthinking it. You caught more beans just because you were eager to show off. Cultivation requires patience and persistence. The main issue isn’t just that—it’s the hatred in your heart and your muddled thoughts. Misused, it leads to demonic possession."

Elder Yun Zhonghe explained to dissuade Hao Shuai from wanting to be chosen.

"But, I..."

"Hey!" Elder Yun Zhonghe raised his hand to stop him, saying, "I have important matters to discuss with Chen Tianlong’s brother now. Please excuse yourself."

Hao Shuai felt helpless, but facing Elder Yun Zhonghe, he could only sulk quietly.

Yet, he wouldn’t leave immediately, wanting to stay a bit longer to see if there’s any chance. After all, this place is the dream of many cultivators. If he missed this chance, he might never get into the Celestial Pill Sect or the Lingyun Pavilion in his lifetime.

So he quietly stood aside, joining Wu Mengting and Lin Wushuang.

Elder Yun Zhonghe glanced over without saying much. Since he wanted to stay, so be it. Turning back to Chen Tianlong, he said, "Chen Tianlong’s brother, you’re my disciple now. Hurry up and pay respects to the old man—what are you waiting for?"

"Huh? But I already have a master; taking another one doesn’t seem right!"

Chen Tianlong felt awkward. He hadn’t expected Elder Yun Zhonghe would directly accept him as a disciple. He had thought simply coming here for some training methods would suffice.

"Oh? Are you looking down on the old man?"

Elder Yun Zhonghe frowned slightly, sounding a bit displeased.

"No, I’m sorry, Elder Yun Zhonghe. I’ve previously apprenticed to some masters, and taking another one seems inappropriate," Chen Tianlong said somewhat embarrassed.

"Haha, what’s the harm, Chen Tianlong’s brother? Think about it; since you have several masters already, one more or less doesn’t make a difference. You can’t be exclusive anymore."

Elder Yun Zhonghe burst into laughter. This quirky personality left everyone present a bit speechless.

Thinking about it, Chen Tianlong realized it was indeed the case.

With this thought, Chen Tianlong knelt on both knees, saying sincerely, "Master, please accept my bow."

Then, Chen Tianlong kowtowed deeply, slowly raising his head, and Elder Yun Zhonghe stepped forward, helped him up, and said, "Hahaha, good disciple."
