Chapter 229 - Differential Treatment
Chapter 229 Differential Treatment
“Hmph, that’s because your talent is good.” Elder Song was unconvinced.
“Our talent test results are clearly the same. How can my talent be good?” the fourth elder continued to retort.
“There are also differences in talent between those of the same level.” Elder song was angry.
“Hehe, you’re being unreasonable. In my opinion, it’s the same even if you raise your strength in the sect to Silver Rank before going out to gain experience. There’s no need for you to go around fooling around like you did before.”
“Who’s fooling around? I’m just tempering my heart. Tempering my heart!” Elder Song was furious.
“Is this tempering your heart? You’re already angry with just a few words. I don’t think it’s of much use,” the fourth elder continued to rebuke.
“You!”
Elder Song was furious. He rolled up his sleeves and wanted to fly into a rage. Fortunately, he was pulled back by the other elders, but he was still indignant in his heart.
“Hmph, I won’t stoop to your level.” Elder Song snorted.
“You can’t beat me, right?” the fourth elder replied disdainfully. “Ahhhhh!”
Elder Song was about to go crazy. He clenched his fists like he was in a great battle, but he was pushed back by the first elder. “Alright, someone is coming up. Didn’t you guys guess who would go up the mountain first? Now it’s time to reveal the answer.” The first elder’s eyes flashed with light.
“Oh? According to the usual practice, it will take at least half an hour for someone to arrive, right? Who is so amazing this time, to be able to arrive so quickly?” Everyone was astonished. They looked carefully at the entrance of the square, looking expectantly at it quietly. As everyone watched, the sound of running slowly entered their ears. That kind of sound caused everyone to be slightly stunned.
“Strange, why does this sound like a Perception Beast running?”
“It seems to be a Perception Beast running. Strange, why is it running up?”
Everyone was puzzled. They looked carefully at the entrance of the square, waiting for the Perception Beast to appear.
Whoosh!
The sound of air being torn apart suddenly sounded.
Along with this sound, the tall and mighty Perception Beast jumped up from the mountain road and landed steadily on the square, scanning the surroundings.
Its domineering appearance and sharp antennae instantly attracted everyone’s attention.
When the sect master and elders saw the Perception Beast, they were initially only surprised. However, when they saw the small figure on the Perception Beast’s neck, everyone stood up.
“How is this possible? There’s actually someone on the Perception Beast’s back!” the fifth elder exclaimed in shock.
“It’s Li Xuan, it’s actually Li Xuan, he’s actually riding on the Perception Beast!” The fourth elder raised her hand to cover her small mouth. Her beautiful eyes swept over Li Xuan who was on top of the Perception Beast, and she was stunned on the spot.
“It’s really Li Xuan, what’s going on? How can the arrogant Perception Beast allow someone to sit on its back? Moreover, it’s even acting as a mount?”
“I don’t know, I was worried that Li Xuan wouldn’t be able to pass the Perception Beast test. In the end, I didn’t expect that not only did Li Xuan pass, he even rode on the Perception Beast. This is too unbelievable.”
“It is indeed unbelievable. Just now, we were discussing who would be the first to reach the top of the mountain. We felt that Li Xuan wouldn’t be able to do it…” “In the end, not only did Li Xuan manage to do it, but he also rode on the Perception Beast. This is too amazing.”
Everyone discussed animatedly. They looked at the back of the Perception Beast in disbelief. They looked at Li Xuan sitting there, grabbing the fur of the Perception Beast.
This unbelievable scene made everyone present feel a little dazed. They wondered if their eyes were playing tricks on them.
While everyone was in a daze, Li Xuan raised his small hand and gently patted the Perception Beast’s head, signaling it to squat down.
Following Li Xuan’s signal, the Perception Beast obediently squatted down, even lying on the ground, allowing Li Xuan to better squat down.
This kind of considerate scene caused the sect master and elders to have some doubts about life.
The main reason was that the Perception Beast was too arrogant in the past, and it always ignored the sect elders. It had always been arrogant and unruly.
However, the Perception Beast was actually so considerate to Li Xuan. It was really unbelievable.
“Not bad, this is for you.”
Li Xuan took out a few Body Tempering Pill and threw them to the Perception Beast. Then, he took out a chair from his Portable Space and sat lazily on it, waiting to test its aptitude.
The Perception Beast ate the pills that Li Xuan handed over. It originally wanted to rub against Li Xuan, but in the next second, the Perception Beast was stunned. Its eyes flashed with wild joy.
This was because it discovered that this pill was actually helpful to its physique. Although the effect was negligible, it still made it pleasantly surprised. It allowed it to see the direction of increasing its strength.
The excited Perception Beast forgot Li Xuan’s warning again. It began to lick Li Xuan like a dog.
“Get lost! What did I say just now? Do you want a beating?” Li Xuan said unhappily.
“Awoo!”
The Perception Beast let out an aggrieved cry. It no longer dared to lick Li Xuan like a dog. It could only use its big head to rub Li Xuan’s arm.
“That’s more like it. Just lie here obediently,” Li Xuan said with satisfaction.
“Awoo!”
The Perception Beast obediently lay at Li Xuan’s feet, squinting its eyes and not moving at all.
Li Xuan stretched out his hand to touch the Perception Beast’s lion head. He was still very happy about this Perception Beast’s closeness.
Not far away, the sect master and the elders stood dumbstruck. Each of them was like a goose as they watched Li Xuan interact with the Perception Beast.
Seeing the Perception Beast obediently lying on the ground and allowing Li Xuan to touch it, the sect master and the elders once again doubted life.
“Fifth elder, I remember that you studied the Perception Beast the most and even touched it once. I want to ask, is this the nature of the Perception Beast?” Elder Song asked doubtfully.
“Of course not. Back then, I spent a large amount of precious materials and finally got close to the Perception Beast. I took the opportunity to touch it…” “Then, the Perception Beast got angry and slapped me on the wall with its claws. My face was swollen from the impact.” The fifth elder replied gloomily and continued.
“I originally thought that Perception Beasts were arrogant, but now it seems that this is simply a dog. Damn it, I spent so much materials just to touch it and was even slapped away…”
“But Li Xuan bullied the Perception Beast, yet the Perception Beast is still so obedient. Isn’t this differential treatment?”
The fifth elder felt very depressed.
The surrounding elders looked at the Perception Beast in bewilderment. Looking at the calm and indifferent Li Xuan, the elders suddenly realized a problem.
With the existence of the Perception Beast, in the future, no one in the entire Divine Pill Sect would dare to provoke Li Xuan. Even the sect master would not dare to provoke Li Xuan casually
There was nothing they could do. The Perception Beast was too strong. Even the sect master could not defeat the Perception Beast.
If they could take Li Xuan in as a disciple, it would be equivalent to controlling the Perception Beast, greatly increasing the strength of their lineage. The key point was that Li Xuan’s talent was outstanding, and his potential was extremely great.
Therefore, the higher-ups decided that they must take Li Xuan in as a disciple, even if they had to pay a huge price.
Therefore, the second elder stood up and was ready to take action.
“Second elder, why are you standing up? It’s not the time to choose a disciple yet. We will only accept disciples after the aptitude test is over,” Elder Song said faintly.
“I’m just looking at the scenery.”
The second elder sighed. He knew that it would be quite difficult to accept Li Xuan as a disciple, so he could only sit down first and prepare to take action after the aptitude test was over.
After that, all the higher-ups sat quietly. However, when they saw Li Xuan turn his head, all the higher-ups nodded at Li Xuan as if they were greeting him.
This also made Li Xuan speechless. At the same time, several people nodded at the same time. That feeling was really strange.
He might as well.
Li Xuan no longer paid attention to them. Instead, he sat leisurely on the chair and quietly waited for the others to come to the top of the mountain to test their aptitude.
Time passed bit by bit, and finally, a second person came up.
This person was none other than Chen Hao.
However, at this moment, Chen Hao’s face was a little gloomy. Especially when he saw Li Xuan’s leisurely appearance, Chen Hao could not help but feel a burst of anger. “Just wait. Next is my home ground. In terms of Alchemy aptitude, I have never lost to anyone. This time, I will definitely be the most outstanding,” Chen Hao secretly swore.
