Chapter 130: Fighting Over a Disciple

This time, it was Jiang Yushan who spoke. He was anxious, as Xiao Fan had awakened the Enlightenment Seed while listening to his lecture…

While excited and envious, he also felt a strong sense of pride in his heart.

His lecture had allowed the student he favored to awaken the Enlightenment Seed…

"I, I…"

Xiao Fan stammered a bit, but finally decided to reveal the changes in his Dantian.

"A sapling has grown in my Dantian…"

A sapling?

Everyone around was stunned, and the ten thousand Disciples behind were dumbfounded.

They had never seen such a grand spectacle before…

Usually, the Outer Sect and Inner Sect of the Jixian Sect had no contact; they had never seen the Inner Sect Elders or the Sect Master of the Jixian Sect.

At this moment, they were already scared silly.

And upon hearing Xiao Fan say that a sapling had appeared in his Dantian…

The surrounding Disciples were bewildered, having no idea what was going on.

But the Elders' expressions changed drastically, and many showed looks of sudden realization, as if saying "so that's how it is."

"Hahahaha… Correct, correct, it is indeed an Enlightenment Seed." Jiang Yushan was so excited that his body was trembling…

The many Elders around were also astonished.

Each of them looked at Xiao Fan with eyes gleaming.

Possessing an Enlightenment Seed proved that this child would have a boundless future…

Sect Master Xu Yongnian of the Outer Sect beamed with joy; his Outer Sect hadn't produced such a Prodigy in many years…

The Inner Sect Disciples of the Jixian Sect were either promoted from Outer Sect Disciples or were Geniuses directly selected and recruited by Inner Sect Elders.

Rarely would an Outer Sect Disciple be so outstanding.

And this year, not only were there Geniuses like Nangong Lingxuan and Chen Feixing.

But there was also Xiao Fan, who could not only challenge those above his level but had also awakened the Enlightenment Seed.

He Yutang's face turned a bit dark… a bad premonition welled up in his heart.

Just then, a red-haired old man with a burly build, wearing red robes with his sleeves rolled up, revealing sturdy muscles on his arms…

The red-haired old man flashed in front of Xiao Fan and laughed heartily: "Good, good, good, little guy, you are very good. I am Beiming, and I wish to take you as my closing Disciple. What do you think?"

This red-haired old man named Beiming was full of wild joy…

Possessing an Enlightenment Seed made him top-tier material for either Alchemy or Artifact Refining.

If he took in this Xiao Fan, he would surely bring honor to his ancestors.

"Wait!"

"Wait!"

At this moment, two voices rang out simultaneously…

The speakers were Jiang Yushan and Kong Ping.

The two exchanged glances; Jiang Yushan glared at Kong Ping, who gave an awkward smile.

Then Jiang Yushan said in a deep voice: "This child has extraordinary talent. It would be a waste if he learned Artifact Refining. Come learn Alchemy instead; his future will be boundless."

"That's right, my Alchemy lineage has claimed him." Kong Ping chimed in from the side, afraid that Jiang Yushan alone wouldn't be assertive enough.

"You…" Beiming was furious, his pointing finger trembling. He was the Head of the Artifact Refining Lineage.

A Fifth-Grade Artifact Refiner…

One of the rare top-tier Artifact Refiners in Wuhuang Province.

"I favored this child first and asked to take him in first. You actually want to snatch him now?" Beiming said indignantly.

Elder Cao Mu also flew to Beiming's side and whispered: "That's right, we indeed favored Xiao Fan first."

Both sides started arguing directly…

Sect Master Xu Yongnian of the Outer Sect felt awkward seeing this and didn't speak… he couldn't afford to offend either side.

The majestic-looking middle-aged Inner Sect Master was the same and did not speak…

"Wait, why must he join your Alchemy lineage or Artifact Refining Lineage? Is my Formation Branch not good enough?"

Just then, a female figure rushed over. She was stunningly beautiful, with an air of bewitching charm in every movement.

The Head of the Formation Branch, Elder Shi Pin.

"That's right, I favored this child when he first joined, but I never had the chance to speak. Xiao Fan, would you be willing to join our Formation Branch…" Elder Shi Ji added with a smile.

She and Elder Shi Pin were sisters.

"I…"

Xiao Fan was speechless… although he hadn't had the chance to learn their identities, judging by their demeanor, none of them were to be trifled with.

If they had come to him individually, he surely would have been overjoyed and agreed without a second thought.

But…

What about this situation?

Was it even his turn to decide?

He was afraid that if he agreed randomly, he wouldn't make it out of this place alive…

He Yutang's face was extremely livid, and he cursed himself for being an idiot countless times in his heart…

He had seen Xiao Fan first, favored him first, and intended to take him as a Disciple first, but what was he hesitating about?

What was there to test?

Observe, my ass?

Now it was done; a bunch of old geezers were eyeing him, and his plan to take him as a Disciple was basically ruined…

Among them, the Head of the Martial Dao lineage had also arrived and was right beside He Yutang…

This man was tall and strong, a head taller than He Yutang. He wore red robes, but one could still see his bulging muscles…

He Yutang transmitted his voice to him: "Senior Brother, you must take this child in…"

The tall Head of the Martial Dao lineage turned his head slightly to look at He Yutang and transmitted back: "I can't afford to offend them… I want to take him too, but those three lineages… we can't afford to offend them."

He Yutang was speechless…

Indeed, whether it was Alchemy, Artifact Refining, or Formation, the Heads of these three lineages held extremely important positions in the Jixian Sect and could not be easily offended.

Even the Head of the Martial Dao lineage was the same.

But He Yutang was unwilling to give up…

"Senior Brother, this child has extraordinary talent; at the seventh level of the Huaqi Realm, he can battle a Half-step Tongtian Realm cultivator…"

Upon hearing the transmission, the tall Head of the Martial Dao lineage was stunned…

A Genius? No…

This is a damn Prodigy; even when he personally went out to select Genius Disciples for the Inner Sect, none had this kind of strength, right?

At this moment, the tall Head of the Martial Dao lineage also joined the fray…

He must snatch this child…

"Wait…" The Head of the Martial Dao lineage stepped through the air, arriving directly in front of Xiao Fan and the others.
