Ch : 17 War dragon sect

When Ye tian reached the mountain peak, he was the last one to climb the mountain.

"Tsk, a waste of time. Why are we waiting for a trash, wasting our time?" The disciple from before again criticized Ye tian. Ye tian still let go of the matter and bowed to the elder. The elder nodded and said, "Those whose names are taken will be coming with me to sect. And those, whose names aren't taken here, will be guided by another elder to the handyman quarters." The elder started to announce the names. After all the name were announced, a disciple said,

"Elder, there seems to be some mistake in the list. My name is not on the list." A disciple said.

"If your name is not announced or not on the list, that means that you have failed the test and are going to handyman quarters." The elder replied calmly.

"No, how can this be? How can I fail the test? I am not willing, I was finally about to be heaven's chosen. How can I fail here?" The disciple was in a deep shock. Many disciples were the same, they lost their mind.

"Quiet." The elder shouted. Suddenly, all the disciples that lost their minds were shaken and woke up.

"There is no need for any of you to be depressed. One can become a true disciple of War dragon sect if he shows enough potential and ability in the handyman arena." The elder motivated the disciples that were about to be taken to handyman quarters.

After that, the handyman disciples were taken to their quarters.

"Now, follow me." The elder asked the disciples to follow him. After a little walk, they reached an open ground.

"All of you, this place is for the elders to select disciples for their peaks. Many of you will be given a chance to worship a peak, while some of you will be even offered a role of direct disciple of elders." The elder explained and looked at the sky.

Several elders came down from the sky.

"We greet the elders." The old disciples bowed to the elders.

"Haha, no need for any formalities. Be at ease." The elders caressed their beards.

"Haha, Old Lu, there are many good seedlings this time." One of the elders said.

"Yes, this time, the batch of incoming disciple is a lot better than the previous batch." Another elder said.

"Ning Yao, are you willing to be my disciple?" One of the elders directly offered a disciple with the role.

"Disciple is willing, master." Ning Yao accepted the offer. Just like that, many other disciples were taken and offered direct disciple role by the elders.

Just then, Ye tian felt a gaze, staring deeply at him. The gaze was like an abyss, deep and cold, without any limit. Ye tian looked in the direction he felt the gaze from. He looked in that direction for sometime before turning to the elder. The elders continued to accept the disciples. After a long time, only hundred such disciples were left on the arena, including Ye tian. The remaining disciples were looking at the elders eagerly and excitingly that the next person the elder recruit will be them. Just then, all the elders left the arena, to bring along their peak's disciples. The remaining disciples on the arena were like they were disappointed.

"Don't be depressed, even without the support of peak. One can become a powerful master with their efforts. So practice hard." The elder looked at the remaining disciples pitifully, but gave them some motivation. The disciples looked motivated and went back to their house for practice. But they knew that without the support from any peak, it will be very hard. But none of them were willing to give up now. Because they worked hard to bones to enter the sect, if they gave up now, all the efforts they put in practice will go to nothing. Ye tian also came back to his house and found that the three of Di feng, Lei Qian and Meng Lin were not in their house.

"I guess they were selected by elders." He shook his head and went into his house for practicing.

It was already the middle of the night when he opened his eyes. Ye tian got up and walked towards the direction he felt the gaze from earlier. After a bit of walking, he reached at the bottom of a mountain. He looked up the mountain. The mountain was towering in the sky. Its peak was already so high that it was beyond even the clouds. Ye tian started to climb the mountain. After around one hour, he saw a building. He got curious and entered the building quietly. To his surprise, the building was empty. There was none guarding the building, not there was any elder.

"What is this building? There is no one here?" Ye tian was a bit confused. After some observations, he found that this building was a library.

"Such important library is not guarded by even a guard?" Ye tian got even more confused. After some time, Ye tian decided to take a look at some martial arts book. He approached a library shelf and picked up a book. After taking a look at the book, he put it back and picked up another book. Just like the first one, he put it back. This process repeated again and again for a long time.

On the mountain peak,

"Master, someone has entered the library." A man with sharp eyebrows said to a man. The man was sitting on a throne.

"Let him play by himself." The man replied with a smile. 

"It has been a long time, that someone has visited the peak. You don't need to report again when he comes in the future." The man said with a care free attitude. 

In the library, 

Ye tian was looking at the books when he saw an old, dusty book in the last shelf. He picked up the book and opened it.

"Huh?" Ye tian was shocked. Because although the book was very dusty and old, it was very good for it to get rusty in some shelf's corner. After memorizing the concepts of the book, he put the book back and ran down the mountain. After he came back to his house, he sat crossed legs and closed his eyes. He was memorizing and practicing the technique he just saw in the book on the mountain. He immersed himself into the technique. When he opened his eyes, it was already morning. After a quick break from the meditation, he came out of his house. 

"It is such a surprising technique. But to practice the technique, we must purchase a sword." There was no sword on Ye tian as he always fought with his fists and punches. Just then, he saw Di feng and other two carrying their belongings.

"Ye tian!" they were surprised to see Ye tian still in the house.

"Ye tian, why are you still in this house?" Di feng asked.

"Don't you move to your peak?" Lei Qian asked with some curiosity.

"Haha, I am staying because I don't belong to any peak." Ye tian replied.

"What? You weren't selected?" Meng Lin and other two were shocked.

"Don't worry, Ye tian. After I gain some foothold in the peak, I will recommend you to the elder. The elder will definitely take you into the peak." Lei Qian said.

"Haha, don't worry guys. Although I am not selected into any peak, doesn't mean that I will be left behind. You focus on your cultivation. I will soon catch up to you." Ye tian said with smile. He felt a little warm in his heart that there was someone who he could truly call friends.

"Of course, we are waiting for you." Di feng grinned at him.

After the conversation, three of Di feng and others left for their peaks. Ye tian also left the hill and walked to the market.

In the market,

Ye tian went to the Lingyue pavilion. He entered the pavilion,

"Hello, young master. What would you like to buy?" A maid came and asked Ye tian. Ye tian looked at the maid,

"I would like to purchase a sword with fine quality." Ye tian asked the maid.

"This way." The maid took Ye tian to the room. In the room, there were many types of sword. Long sword, short sword, heavy sword, light sword etc. Ye tian looked at the swords, but none of the swords met his requirements.

"Are there any better ones?" Ye tian asked.

"Of course, sir. There are many other good swords as well. But the price of the those swords are a bit high." The maid looked at Ye tian.

"Show me." Ye tian asked the maid to show him the swords.

"This way, sir." The maid smiled happily and took Ye tian to the other room. In that room, many swords were placed inside. Some of them were put safe in the glass. Ye tian looked at the swords, but was still not satisfied. Suddenly a sword caught his eye. This sword was not in a good condition. The sword was nothing special either. The sword was not very heavy nor very light. Ye tian picked up the sword and swung a few times. The sword was in perfect balance.

"How much is this sword?" Ye tian asked the maid.

"Sir, this sword is not very good, although this has been placed in the room, no one has purchased it for about five years now. Are you sure you want to buy this sword?" The maid asked with explaining the history of the sword.

"Yes, I will buy this sword." Ye tian confirmed that he wanted to buy the sword.

The maid took Ye tian to the counter,

"This sword is seven thousand silver taels, sir." The maid on the counter told the price to Ye tian.

"I don't have many silver taels, but can it be exchanged with monster materials?" Ye tian asked.

"Of course, sir." The maid replied.

Ye tian took out all the monster materials he had. After the maid counted the price, she told ye tian, "sir, these materials are ten thousand silver taels. After cutting the price of the sword, this is three thousand taels of silver." She placed the silver taels on the table.

"Good." Ye tian took the taels and picked up his sword and left the pavilion.

He reached the sect when he suddenly felt the unknown gaze again. He couldn't detect where this gaze was coming from, but the gaze was the same as when he first discovered it.
