After Taishang, Yuanshi, and Taiyi arrived at Sanqing Peak, everyone present immediately put down their tasks and bowed, saying:
"Greetings to the two Sect Leaders, greetings to Senior Brother Taiyi!"
Taishang and Yuanshi nodded and said:
"Rise! Get back to your work!"
Upon seeing Taishang, Chang'er felt as if he had seen a savior. He quickly stepped forward and asked:
"Eldest Martial Uncle, how many whole sheep do you specifically need out of the hundred-plus heads?"
Hearing this, Taishang replied:
"Just leave a hundred head. String the rest into lamb skewers!"
Upon hearing this, Chang'er felt a huge weight lifted from his heart, and he let out a sigh of relief!
After receiving the specific quantity, Chang'er took his leave to tend to the sheep!
Yuanshi saw the skewers of lamb being prepared and knew what was being made. Although he could go without eating or drinking, he was still looking forward to Taishang's lamb skewers!
Ever since he tasted them once, the flavor was unforgettable!
After Chang'er departed, Qilin also left the skewer-making group and approached Taishang and Yuanshi. With Taishang and Yuanshi present, Qilin no longer feared Tongtian. He bowed and greeted them:
"Greetings, Eldest Martial Uncle, greetings, Second Martial Uncle!"
Taishang and Yuanshi nodded. They hadn't seen this young man Qilin for some time.
The four of them walked past everyone else and headed towards the Sanqing Hall.
Along the way, people they encountered greeted Taishang, Yuanshi, Qilin, and Taiyi one by one.
The four arrived at the training ground. Yuanshi saw that all his disciples were present and looked at Qilin, asking:
"Chen'er, why didn't you have them help out?"
Hearing this, Qilin replied with a smile:
"Second Martial Uncle, my master has many disciples, and they can manage."
Yuanshi narrowed his eyes and said meaningfully:
"Chen'er, don't forget, you are not only the Eldest Disciple of Third Brother, but also the First Disciple of Sanqing!"
Taishang also said with a half-smile:
"Yes, Chen'er, what your Second Martial Uncle said is correct!"
Qilin was momentarily confused. Had he done something wrong? However, Qilin still nodded and said:
"Your disciple remembers!"
Yuanshi did not elaborate but looked at Taiyi and said:
"Taiyi, test your junior brothers and sisters for me and see what level their cultivation has reached!"
Before Taiyi could react, Taishang pulled Yuanshi aside and said:
"Second Brother, I just gave them a day off. Let's go find Third Brother. There's no rush."
Yuanshi nodded upon hearing this:
"Very well, since Eldest Brother says so, we will let them off this time!"
He then said to Taiyi:
"Taiyi, your chief disciple of Yuqing is somewhat incompetent! But considering you've been at the foot of Yuqing Peak for so long, I won't pursue it further!"
Hearing this, Taiyi knew that Yuanshi was displeased with the disciples. With his cultivation, he could see at a glance that the highest cultivation among his junior brothers and sisters was only at the early stage of Da Luo, the level of Nanji Xianweng, while the lowest, Huanglong, was only at the early stage of Taiyi Golden Immortal!
And Yuanshi's eyesight was even keener! Asking him to test the cultivation of his junior brothers and sisters was merely an excuse! Su Dan Novel Network
Fortunately, Martial Uncle Taishang intervened, and his master relented out of respect for Martial Uncle.
The people on the training ground also saw Yuanshi and his entourage and excitedly ran forward to greet them:
"Greetings, Master, Martial Uncles!"
"Greetings to the two Senior Brothers!"
Yuanshi looked at them and nodded:
"You have all worked hard during this period. Your cultivation has reached the Golden Immortal realm! From now on, you will all be collectively known as the Twelve Golden Immortals!"
Yuanshi's words did not naturally include Nanji Xianweng. Only Nanji Xianweng barely caught Yuanshi's eye!
They enjoyed the guidance of all the elders on Sanqing Peak, yet only reached this level, naturally displeasing Yuanshi!
As Yuanshi walked, he noticed that Tongtian's disciples had quite a few Da Luo Golden Immortals!
The disciples, hearing this, thought Yuanshi was praising them and were all beaming with pride, saying:
"It's all due to our Master's excellent teaching!"
Taiyi didn't know what to say. Why were they so oblivious?
Taiyi couldn't help but cough, wanting to remind them but not daring to!
The Twelve Golden Immortals, hearing Taiyi's cough, asked with concern:
"Eldest Senior Brother, are you alright!"
Taiyi: I'm fine, but I'm afraid you're in trouble.
Yuanshi remained silent and walked towards the Sanqing Hall.
Taishang shook his head and followed behind Yuanshi. Qilin and Taiyi quickly followed.
After Taiyi left, he could still hear the disciples congratulating each other:
"Master praised us! We reached the Golden Immortal realm in just ten thousand years, we're quite good!"
Taiyi's face turned dark. Alas! They lacked perception and hearing. Didn't they see their master's unhappy expression or hear the displeasure in his tone? Truly quite good indeed!
Taishang and Yuanshi naturally heard the disciples' voices. Taishang shook his head, not knowing what to say.
Qilin looked at his two martial uncles and Taiyi, none of whom seemed happy, and wondered why.
Taishang caught Qilin's confused gaze and sighed inwardly. Had he also made a mistake? Was he too hasty?
Looking at Qilin's simple and honest demeanor, Taishang felt that this young man, besides being handsome, possessed a certain beauty that seemed to lack a bit of brainpower.
The four arrived in front of the Sanqing Hall and saw Tongtian already preparing charcoal. Upon seeing Yuanshi, Tongtian immediately ran over, exclaiming:
"Second Brother! You've come down the mountain too?"
Yuanshi rolled his eyes, not wanting to deal with his foolish younger brother. If he wasn't here, would he be a ghost standing in front of you! He had truly mastered the essence of nonsensical literature!
