Chapter 17 – Loyalty Below Sixty: Entry Denied

"Who... exactly are you?" Xiao Xier finally began to take Su Bai seriously.

Su Bai had seen through her, yet she knew nothing about him.

This feeling made her uneasy. Could this young man really be some hidden old monster, coming out to train on purpose?

"I am Xiao Yan's master, who do you think I am?" Su Bai chuckled softly.

Xiao Xier fell silent, and at that moment, Xiao Yan happened to walk out of the Immortal Arts Pavilion.

"Master, I have found an Immortal Art that suits me!"

As soon as he came out, he knelt in front of Su Bai with a scroll in his hands, looking ecstatic.

"Good, very good!" Su Bai nodded. He already knew what had happened in the Immortal Arts Pavilion.

Body refining is also a path with limitless potential!

"Can Brother Xiao Yan really cultivate now?" Xiao Xier was once again shocked, her face full of disbelief.

Xiao Yan's physical condition was something even Uncle Ying couldn't solve, let alone provide a method for cultivation!

"Master, how much silver is needed to cultivate this Immortal Art?" Xiao Yan asked eagerly.

Although he knew in his heart that the Harmony Body Refining Art was precious and the silver required might be beyond his means, he still wanted to try.

To be able to cultivate, he was willing to give anything!

"Every disciple who joins the sect can choose one Immortal Art for free, so no silver is needed." Su Bai shook his head.

"Free?" Xiao Yan was stunned for a moment, then became extremely excited, quickly kneeling before Su Bai again, "Master, please accept another bow from your disciple."

"Alright, go and cultivate, strive to reach the Flesh Realm soon." Su Bai waved his hand.

The realm of body refining begins with the Flesh Realm, which also has nine levels, corresponding to the nine levels of Qi Refining.

"Thank you, Master." Xiao Yan stood up and left respectfully.

Afterward, he sat cross-legged and began to carefully read the Harmony Body Refining Technique in his hands.

However, when he saw the first page, he gasped.

Run ten miles with a 100-pound weight in a quarter of an hour!

Do a hundred push-ups with a 100-pound weight continuously!

Take a hundred lashes with a whip continuously!

Only with a body strength that completes these tasks is one qualified to officially cultivate! (Note: The physique of ordinary people in the cultivation world is slightly higher than normal.)

Even with Xiao Yan's willpower and endurance, a bead of sweat appeared on his forehead after reading this.

Xiao Xier also saw the training content and immediately shuddered.

Is this something an ordinary person who hasn't cultivated can complete?

"Brother Xiao Yan, maybe you shouldn't cultivate this?" she advised worriedly.

This set of training might cost him half his life!

Even Xiao Yan was a bit scared. He had never suffered much besides enduring the strange looks from others since he was young, how could he withstand such torture?

Su Bai glanced at the two of them and smiled faintly, "What, do you want to still be trampled under Liu Yanran's feet three years from now?"

"This..." Xiao Yan gritted his teeth, his fists clenching with a crackling sound.

Finally, he clutched the scroll tightly, saying word by word, "I want to become stronger, I want to defeat Liu Yanran!"

"I want to prove that I, Xiao Yan, am not inferior to anyone!"

His eyes were bloodshot, his face flushed purple, clearly using all his strength to shout this out.

After speaking, he immediately got up and started running around the foot of the Heavenly Dao Sect's mountain.

He wanted to prove himself, to become stronger!

At this moment, Su Bai glanced over and saw Zhuge Feng and Xiao Lingxi watching from the side, and immediately said, "Go cultivate, the sect's strength depends on your efforts."

Upon hearing this, Zhuge Feng and Xiao Lingxi did not prepare to cultivate but instead looked at Xiao Xier.

Obviously, the Immortal Arts they were cultivating were too extraordinary, if seen by outsiders...

"No worries, the Immortal Arts of our Heavenly Dao Sect are neither stolen nor robbed, there's no need to avoid anyone." Su Bai smiled.

Hearing Su Bai's words, Zhuge Feng and Xiao Lingxi finally breathed a sigh of relief and turned to leave.

Xiao Xier was stunned, somewhat confused.

Cultivating Immortal Arts, and they had to avoid her?

What, could their Immortal Arts be stronger than her family's?

One must know, her family was an unimaginably colossal force on the entire continent!

Even a mere gatekeeper, upon coming to this Great Zhao country, could reign supreme!

She couldn't even be bothered to look at the town-securing Immortal Arts of the Soaring Heavens Sect and the Yuntian Sect, why would she care about these trashy arts?

"Hmph, putting on airs, I want to see how remarkable your Heavenly Dao Sect's Immortal Arts are!"

She thought to herself, her beautiful eyes fixed on Zhuge Feng and Xiao Lingxi as they cultivated, afraid of missing any detail.

"One, two, three..."

She had only counted to three when her expression changed.

Her insight was much higher than Xiao Lingxi's, and she had a deeper and broader understanding of some supreme Immortal Arts.

Too fast!

The circulation of spiritual energy was too fast!

Such rapid circulation of spiritual energy indicated almost no impurities, its quality was unimaginably high!

Moreover, the colors and attributes of the spiritual energy operated by the two were different, clearly two completely different Immortal Arts.

"20... 20 breaths for one cycle, this is the supreme art my father spoke of in legends!"

"And... there are two of them!"

"How is this possible..." Xiao Xier was utterly shocked, her pretty face flushed red.

Too defiant of the natural order!

And such defiant Immortal Arts, aren't they only for direct blood relatives to cultivate?

For example, her family's highest Immortal Art could only be cultivated by her father and herself, others practiced different Immortal Arts to prevent them from leaking out.

But in this Heavenly Dao Sect, an ordinary disciple could cultivate such defiant Immortal Arts?

This...

So good to the disciples?

"Um... can I join the Heavenly Dao Sect?" she suddenly asked.

She looked at Su Bai with some apprehension.

Su Bai glanced at her with slight surprise, then shook his head.

Because, in front of him, a line of text appeared.

Sect Loyalty below sixty, unable to join!!! (Note: Loyalty doesn't sound quite right, it gradually changes to Favorability after about forty chapters.)

This was the first time he discovered there was such a restriction, because previously, whether it was Zhuge Feng, Xiao Lingxi, or Xiao Yan, their loyalty was above sixty.

Especially when Xiao Yan joined the sect, he had seventy, and after obtaining the Immortal Art, it immediately rose to eighty, showing that sixty loyalty was not high.

In other words, without sixty loyalty, they didn't really consider the sect important!

How could such a person join the sect?

"Sigh..." Xiao Xier sighed, quite disappointed, but she didn't press further.

After all, her time here was limited.

Family disputes still needed her to balance.

And Su Bai, watching Xiao Yan running at the foot of the mountain, watching Zhuge Feng and Xiao Lingxi focused on cultivating, couldn't help but chuckle to himself.

The upgrade task of recruiting three disciples was complete, and the sect points were only ten short of a hundred.

The sect upgrade was all set, just waiting for the points!
