An Unexpected Surprise

An Unexpected Aurprise

Nan Shan stood there with a troubled expression.

He did not know if being the First Elder's direct disciple would affect his investment. If it was like in the fantasy novels where he went into seclusion for decades or even centuries, it would be troublesome.

"Do you have other concerns?" The First Elder asked after a while.

"Not really, but I've just entered the sect and I'm afraid that I'll damage First Elder's reputation if I become your disciple."

Nan Shan weighed his tone, appearing to be fearful and a little excited.

After all, every sect had its own rules. If an ordinary in-name disciple wanted to reach the position of a pro-disciple, it would take decades of effort, and it also depended on whether the master was willing to accept them.

Nan Shan's innate Five Element spiritual pulse was already eye-catching enough. If he still jumped levels to become a pro-disciple, the other disciples would probably have a grudge.

The First Elder looked at Nan Shan with even more satisfaction and admiration.

As expected of a disciple with five elemental spiritual meridians! He thought things through more clearly than others.

Fortunately, he did not know what Nan Shan was thinking at the moment. Otherwise, he would have vomited blood.

"Fine, since this is your choice, I won't say anything more. I'll just wait for you to win a place in the disciple competition and then become my disciple."

The First Elder waved his sleeve and was about to return to the stands to continue monitoring the exchange.

Soon however, he smacked his forehead as if he suddenly remembered something. "Nan Shan, are you interested in going to the hall of cultivation to choose your own internal force cultivation method?"

The other disciples were in an uproar!

One had to know that the reason why the Outer Sect elders had such a high status was not only because of their own abilities, but more importantly, because they had real power in their hands.

For example, the First Elder was the hall master of the resource hall. Whether it was the sect's food, clothing, or the monthly salary of the elders and disciples, everything was in his hands. He could not be easily offended.

There were also the mission hall, punishment hall, and so on, a total of nine halls.

The First Elder's resource hall had many inner force cultivation techniques that he had found himself or obtained from the sect's resources. Compared to the ones in the cultivation hall, they were of a higher grade!

"Internal strength? Can I choose anything I want?" Nan Shan was surprised.

Although the investment would also be returned to him, the more cultivation techniques and weapons he had, the better. Even if he could not use them, he could use them as the cost of his future investment.

You can even pick randomly!

'I'm overjoyed!'

"Of course. Now that you've passed the hell challenge, you have free pick of the cultivation techniques inside."

The First Elder said and brought Nan Shan to the resource hall, not caring that the examination was still going on.

It was conceivable that the selection of internal cultivation techniques for the five element spirit meridians was much more lively than the exchange meeting. Moreover, today's process was more than half completed, and many disciples were eager to follow and see.

"The opening of the resource hall is a big event. Those who are interested in observing can follow me."

Seeing that the main character was leaving, the substitute elder was also itching for a show. He simply tidied up the arena sloppily and ran away.

Gradually, more than a hundred people gathered in front of the resource hall, which was usually not open.

The center of everyone's attention was Nan Shan, who had been calm and collected.

"This is the resource hall that I'm in charge of. Whether it's inner force cultivation methods or all sorts of heavenly treasures, there's everything here. Not bad, right?"

The First Elder stood with his hands behind his back and his chin slightly raised. His intention was obvious, like a peacock spreading its tail.

He also had his own thoughts. If the innate five elements spirit meridians were intimidated by the resources hall's wealth, he would definitely be asked to teach him!

Nan Shan looked at the resource hall in front of him and was shocked!

The Linglong Pagoda, which was so tall that it reached the clouds, looked like it was floating in the air. There was a faint cloud of mist lingering around it, and it was also faintly emitting a faint glow.

He did not even need to go in. Just by looking at the exterior of the tower, he could tell how deep the foundation of the resource hall was.

"The resource hall is divided into six floors. The first two floors are for the outer disciples, while the middle two floors are for the inner disciples. Only core disciples or legacy disciples can enter the last two floors to choose their own internal arts."

The First Elder spoke leisurely, his voice containing a wonderful rhythm. It fluttered and accurately entered everyone's ears.

"Wow, this is my first time coming to the resource Hall. In the past, the restrictions here were never activated, and I didn't even have the chance to take a look."

"Why do I feel like the resource hall is a little different from the last time I was here? It seems to be brighter and more exquisite."

"Tsk, what's your status? What's the status of someone with innate five elemental spiritual meridians? The First Elder is determined to take him in as a disciple, so it's understandable that he would dress up the resource hall."

Some of the other disciples were discussing among themselves. Perhaps they thought that their voices were soft, but Nan Shan still heard them clearly.

This First Elder was quite interesting.

However, the inner force mantras provided by the resource hall were also divided into different levels, which Nan Shan had not expected.

He had thought that he could casually browse through the books and choose what was more suitable for him, but now it seemed that he was limited to different floors according to his status.

The first two floors probably did not have anything good.

Nan Shan's initial excitement had mostly calmed down. He then sized up the resource hall with interest.

"According to the usual rules, the Outer Sect disciples can only choose from the first two levels. The inner force mantras there are not that powerful."

As the First Elder spoke, he looked deeply at Nan Shan, as if he was thinking about something important.

"However, on account of your extraordinary talent, I will allow you to choose from the third floor of the resource hall."

After careful consideration, the First Elder spoke.

After all, these were the five elemental spiritual veins, which were extremely precious and rare. It was nothing to give himsome special privileges.

"If I remember correctly, that Junior Brother Nan Shan hasn't taken an outer disciple's uniform or jade card. He's only an in-name disciple, how can he be so popular?"

"Yeah, don't you think it's even scarier now that you've said it? Even registered disciples can go to the third floor of the resource hall to choose their cultivation techniques. I don't think we can even enter the gate of the resource Hall."

"Everyone has their own fate and can not be forced. The cultivation techniques in the resource hall are not for anyone to take. Not only do people have to choose their cultivation techniques, but the cultivation techniques also have to choose the people."

The discussion did not stop. Everyone's attention was on Nan Shan.

"The third floor?" Nan Shan muttered to himself. He did not show any surprise. Instead, he seemed hesitant.
