Chapter Fifty-Four: The Scripture Storage Pavilion
The six elders looked at Li Chen, looking at the fist print, all of them had an incredulous expression.
No matter how they thought about it, they didn't dare confirm that the three-inch fist print in front of them was made by this fifteen-year-old youth.
But the fact is in front of them, yet they can't help but believe it.
Knock knock knock!
Suddenly, three consecutive deafening bell sounds resounded throughout the Xuan Yun Sect, shaking the air for dozens of miles around, causing everyone to look up in unison.
"This... This is the Sect's Celebration Bell!"
The six elders exchanged a glance, their faces filled with incredulity and shock, all turning to look at Li Chen simultaneously.
This celebratory bell only tolls when a major joyous event occurs in the sect, and three peals represent that a genius of the sect has emerged.
In the Xuan Yun Sect, only those who enter the Refining Truth realm before the age of eighteen can become elite disciples.
Like Zhang Chulang, who had such a natural talent, he only broke through to the Refining Truth realm at the age of eighteen, and barely became an elite disciple.
And this fifteen-year-old youth in front of him may very likely enter the Realization Realm before he turns eighteen, let alone that his previous move already represented a cultivation extremely close to it.
"Senior, should the disciple receive the identity jade card now?"
Li Chen felt quite uneasy being stared at by six old men and cleared his throat.
"Can do, of course!"
Old Liu came back to his senses with a start and hastily took out from behind him a thumb-sized blue jade stone from a large trunk.
He picked up a special pen with a sharp tip that emitted a soft glow from the table and began to lightly engrave on the jade stone.
"True Boundary of Martial Arts!"
Looking at the golden aura revealed in Old Liu's hand, Lei Chen's pupils contracted, and only then did he realize that the six seemingly carefree old men were all incredibly powerful Refining Truth realm warriors.
"Go!"
After taking a dozen breaths, Old Liu threw the jade stone to Li Chen.
"Thank you, senior! Your junior takes his leave!"
Li Chen took out a gray jade stone from his bosom and placed it on the table. Without further delay, he headed towards the outer hall.
"Ah, indeed it's the rear waves of the rivers and seas pushing forward the front waves, a new generation replacing the old!"
Looking at Li Chen's back, Liu Lao couldn't help but sigh.
"It's out! It's out! Quick, look!"
As soon as Li Chen walked out into the square outside the main hall, a burst of noise erupted, even drowning out the call that had just been made.
Li Chen walked straight towards the group with the fewest people, who were precisely the disciples promoted from outer door to inner door.
The first one was a thin and tall man, half a head taller than Li Chen. Seeing him arrive, he nodded: "I am Chen Chong Su, the instructor of the inner courtyard. You can call me Shu Shu, but with your qualifications, I think I will soon be calling you Shi Di!"
Genius, wherever you go, there will be people who are jealous of you, and naturally, you won't lack flatterers. Chen Chong Su is obviously the latter.
"Disciple Lei Chen has seen Master Chen Shu!"
Li Chen was neither arrogant nor condescending, and he fulfilled his duties as a disciple.
Making too many enemies within the sect is absolutely not a good thing, he didn't want to offend a Refining Truth realm instructor just after entering the inner sect.
"Haha!"
Chen Chong was obviously very pleased with Li Chen's respectful attitude and became quite close to him in conversation.
Among the seven or eight disciples in this wave, each of them showed a look of admiration and envy. Some were jealous, while others worshipped. These youngsters, who were only fifteen or sixteen years old, were at an age where they liked to compete with each other and admire the strong. It was quite normal.
Time passed slowly as one disciple after another went in and out, and it wasn't until several hours had passed that everyone finally finished the test.
Even as warriors, these half-grown boys were all so hungry that their stomachs were stuck to their backs, and a low murmur of complaint was circulating.
"Let's go!"
After the last outer disciple left, Chen Chong Su waved his hand and led nearly twenty disciples who had successfully advanced to another path, under the envious gaze of many registered and outer disciples.
Chen Chong Su, who was walking ahead, had an extremely fast pace. In the dim light of dawn, he discovered that Chen Chong Su was actually using a rather mysterious footwork technique.
Seemingly slow footsteps, but actually extremely fast, especially on this bumpy stone road, in the blink of an eye, the last person fell dozens of feet behind.
Although these disciples have cultivation on their bodies, they have been hungry for more than half a day, without a drop of water, and climbed the mountain early in the morning. Now walking on this road, their strength is not enough, and it's hard to keep up.
What made Li Chen's heart feel even more astonished was that Chen Chong Su actually led them in circles.
To know, he had been fleeing in the mountains for more than half a year, and was most familiar with the mountain roads. Chen Chong Su led the crowd to climb up and down, and every time they reached the top, he would choose to go down instead.
The exhausted disciples, where is the mood to observe these?
"Is this some kind of test?"
Li Chen turned a corner in his mind, although Chen Chong Su's footsteps were extremely fast, but he didn't use his full strength and was closely followed by him.
It was a good hour before Chen Chong suddenly lost sight of Su, and when he looked again, he saw that it was a stone wall with a passageway inside.
Li Chen was the first to flash in, followed by the people behind him. It took a full half minute before the third person came up.
"After finding it, send it back to the inner courtyard and arrange a place for it!"
Chen Chong Su gave a few faint orders to several inner disciples wearing blue robes, and they entered the passage and disappeared from view.
"Not bad, you three have the opportunity to enter the Scripture Hall and choose one martial skill and one internal skill!"
Looking at Li Chen's unchanged face and the two panting people, Chen Chong Su pointed to the majestic temple hidden behind the giant stone and smiled lightly.
"The Scripture Hall!"
It wasn't just Li Chen, those two also forced themselves to lift their spirits, with surprise written all over their faces, as they followed Chen Chong Su inside.
It seems that this is a special reward for them to follow Chen Chong Su here, otherwise, they can only exchange it at the Treasure Exchange Hall set up on Nan Yun Peak.
Those are all common goods, even if there are good things, they will be exchanged for good treasures by the geniuses in the inner gate, and it's impossible for them to get a turn.
Of course, Li Chen was an exception. With the many treasures on his body, not to mention the Inner Breath Boundary disciples, even the Refining Truth Boundary warriors might not be able to match him.
Three people followed Chen Chong into the house. An old man lay silently on a soft couch at the entrance, not making a sound.
Chen Chong Su respectfully bowed to the elderly man without a word, made a silencing gesture to the three of them, and then entered the temple gate.
The three of them were amazed and realized that the old man was an extraordinary strong expert, after paying their respects they entered, and at once all eyes were drawn to the numerous classics inside.
No one noticed that after the three entered, the old man who had been silent suddenly opened his eyes and shot out two piercing gazes, scanning Li Chen with a look of astonishment.
But then he immediately showed a puzzled expression, seemingly muttering to himself that he was old, turned around, changed his posture, and closed his eyes to rest again.
