Primordial Cultivator-Chapter 3: Outer Disciple
Chapter 3: Outer Disciple
While Yang Wei quietly waits in line for further instruction. Many were pointing fingers and discussing him.
“Look at this beggar, his strength is good but trash spiritual root is still trash in the end.”
“That’s right, what’s the point of being strong when you can’t even cultivate true qi.”
“Hahaha, let’s just see him get rejected in the end.”
Although Yang Wei’s spiritual root is garbage in their knowledge, his raw strength is insane for his age. They were also thinking about what kind of alchemy pill he has eaten to boost his strength.
Those youth are accusing Yang Wei of cheating with an alchemical pill simply because of jealousy.
Humans are like this, being poor and having a ridiculous appearance would be a shame no matter what.
If the person who accomplished this was someone with a powerful background, they would flock to them even if they have an Earth spiritual root.
Yang Wei has completely ignored them as his mindset was straightforward due to his mature soul.
To climb the peak and become a great cultivator requires many efforts. Responding to these people who are destined for failure is a waste of time.
Not to mention, he has no power or influence to be able to start an argument with them. Ignoring does not mean cowering because one day, he would show them what it means to be strong.
Only those who are strong get to be the righteous ones even if it’s something horrendous like killing a mere mortal. The people would ridicule the mortal instead for offending a strong cultivator.
‘This is a dog eat dog world and only those with stronger fist rules.’ Yang Wei has this word in his mind every day.
Such is the way on how this world operates and Yang Wei understood this really early. Maybe it could be a blessing in disguise in reality from that event that honed his mentality.
As Yang Wei quietly waited without checking around his surroundings, one person was staring extensively at him.𝒇𝑟e𝙚𝑤𝙚𝐛𝗻𝐨ν𝚎𝘭.c𝐨m
It was Meng Yan who was curious and a bit interested in this person. Despite him obtaining a raw strength of 311, his spiritual root can be considered trash in terms of cultivation.
However, she didn’t see any disappointment in his eye and it only shows a crystal bright eye even when he’s being the topic of a joke among the youths here.
Besides, he was the only male that didn’t stare at her with a lustful eye, much less a glance.
Being born in an imperial family and loved by her father extensively. Many can’t even wait to flock toward her to obtain her favor but he’s the opposite.
A seed of interest in her mind is planted as she wants to know more about this mysterious youth.
Although his appearance is really below average with those tattered clothes and disheveled hair, his composure is worthy of compliment.
Yang Wei didn’t know he had attracted the princess unknowingly with his behavior and attitude. All he cares about is getting stronger and stepping into the path of a cultivator.
There was no way he would neglect his training to become strong for a sudden interest in a female that will never become his.
He doesn’t have time for romance or even if he tries to find a partner, they would avoid him like a plague back in the village.
The only reason they still allowed him to live there was that if he leaves, no one else would be willing to do many odd jobs.ƒ𝒓e𝐞we𝚋𝙣ｏ𝚟𝚎𝘭.co𝙢
After a long time, all the youths have been tested and once again, the sect elder took the stage platform again.
*Cough*
“Listen to all youth here, we are happy to receive a great amount of application but as you know, we are a sect and resources are limited. Therefore, if I called your name, then congratulations, you are now an outer disciple.” The sect elder announced aloud.
Everyone is now full of tension and nervous because if their names aren’t called, then their entry fee would be returned in 1/4 but to them, the money isn’t worth anything.
They are scared because being rejected means the end of their path as a cultivator and a disgrace is going to label in them.
Being a disgrace in a middle-class family could spell a lot of trouble such as the void of being a successor or receiving the family resource.
Yang Wei may seem indifferent on the surface but he was sweating. The others can still have a life if they were rejected but he was different.
He has spent all 6 years for this chance and if he was to be rejected then his whole life was meaningless.
The sect elder continues his speech for a while before announcing multiple youth names. When the youth heard their name being called, their expression was full of joy.
Yang Wei didn’t notice anyone of them except when he heard Meng Yan’s name being called. It was within his expectation given her talent and every sect would want her.
However, besides being called, her treatment was definitely way better than other youth because the sect elder said it with his utmost respect.
Nobody notices this change of tone but Yang Wei was too sensitive and was paying careful attention to his name so he spotted this difference.
A mental note was added in Yang Wei’s mind as he can tell that this Meng Yan has a special identity. One that even an outer sect elder is extremely afraid of.
‘For a peerless woman like her to join a third-rate sect. She must definitely be those rich people that are trying to find some excitement in a new place.’
Yang Wei has seen these types of people back on Earth where many rich generations go to lower places and flaunt their wealth for fun.
Another 2 hours go by, the sect elder finally finished his name-calling and Yang Wei could only feel disappointed. His name was not called and he could only accept his fate.
Raw strength is great but having a low spiritual root means you need to spend a lot of resources and he was a nobody.
Yang Wei shakes his head and starts to walk out to see what else is left in his path as a cultivator.
When Yang Wei was about to exit the sect, a sudden outburst could be heard.
“Sect Elder, I believe this Yang Wei deserves to be accepted into the sect. His spiritual root may not be the best but he has the determination and mindset of a great cultivator.”
Everyone was shocked since the person who spoke of this was the peerless beauty who has a Heaven spiritual root, Meng Yan.
Instantly, almost all the males have a fiery expression brim with jealousy eyeing Yang Wei.
Yang Wei’s name was popular because of his immense raw strength and trash spiritual roots, plus his appearance is completely like a beggar.
Yang Wei has stopped his walking because he didn’t know why she would help him out. He was confused, much like the youth here.
‘Why would she help me out when I look like a beggar?’ This question floated around Yang Wei’s brain.
Meanwhile, the sect elder was contemplating his decision because if the person who spoke this was someone else, he would have thrashed them hard before expelling them.
But he couldn’t because this person’s status is above him and if she was to be harmed in any way then their sect can be exterminated.
Pondering for 3 minutes, the sect elder gave a low sigh before giving in to her condition. ‘Although this Yang Wei has a trash spiritual root and ridiculous appearance, his raw strength is indeed noteworthy.’
“Thinking about Yang Wei raw strength and to be able to reach this amount despite having a low spiritual root. This sect elder here shall be lenient once and allowed him entry to the sect. This is final and if you have any complaints, I don’t mind talking to you.”
The sect elder said aloud while increasing his aura as a cultivator in the 3rd stage Core Formation. With this overbearing aura, the youths who tried to outrage and complain shut their mouth.
Yang Wei was happy inside and bowed in thanks to the sect elder and Meng Yan. Although he has no clue why she would help him, he was thankful and would repay this favor soon.
With the sect ceremony coming to an end, all youth who are accepted was to follow the sect elder.
Yang Wei with the rest slowly follows as he is now an Outer Core Disciple. He has finally achieved the first step to becoming a cultivator.
‘My dream to become a prominent cultivator will no longer be daydreaming. I can succeed at this dream.’ Yang Wei clenched his fist as his past 6 years of efforts had finally paid off.
Although it was due to some luck of having an unknown woman to help him out, the result is all that matters.
