"Senior Brother Jin, I have already said before that I am not an ordinary Spiritual Bone."

  At this moment, the young man in the fancy clothes also opened his eyes and had an equally proud expression upon seeing the ges in the Dragon Pearl.

  Xu Taiping remained calm and ued, showing no envy or jealousy.

  Lin Buyu, who was beside him, was the same.

  "Little one, what is your he Bck Dragon Elder asked the haughty young man.

  "I am the Ninth Prince of Tianng Kingdom, named Ye Xuan,and I..." the young man replied.

  "Alright, you step aside," the Bck Dragon Elder said, waving his hand to dismiss him, clearly not pleased with his arrogant personality.

  Although Ye Xuan was somewhat displeased, he didn't dare to say anything and could only walk to Jin Hezhi's side with a sullen expression.

  "You, e forward," the Bck Dragon Elder said, pointing at Lin Buyu.

  Lin Buyu nodded and took small steps to approach the Bck Dragon Elder, then reached out a small hand and pced it on the Dragon Pearl.

  Seeing this se, Zi Yan from the Sixth Peak felt a tightness in her heart.

  Although the Spiritual Boele rarely made mistakes, there was always a possibility. After all, the differen achievements between cultivators with Gold Spirit Bones and Bck Spirit Bones was not insignifit, not to mention the differences in boegories.

  So Zi Yan couldn't help but feel nervous, although it was impossible for her to be nervous.

  "Buzz..."

  As another faint buzzing sound rang out, the Dragon Pearl in the Bck Dragon Elder's hand once agaied a golden light. However, this time, the fmes that surrouhe Dragon Pearl turned into crag electric sparks.

  "It's a Thunder Variant Bone, and it's a Gold Spirit Bone level Thunder Variant Bone!" Even the usually reserved Fairy Zi Yan couldn't help but excim in surprise upon seeing this se.

  "gratutions, Senior Sister Zi Yan. A Gold Spirit Bone level Thunder Variant Bone, Qingxua hasn't seen one in hundreds of years."

  "Senior Sister Zi Yan, sihe Sixth Peak has found such a treasure, we must invite everyoo Drunken Immortal Inn food meal."

  Qingxuan and Linglong immediately stepped forward to gratute her.

  "gratutions, Senior Sister Zi Yan," Jin Hezhi also relutly stepped forward to express his joy.

  "Hahaha..."

  At this moment, even the usually serious Bck Dragon Elder burst into hearty ughter, causing the entire hall to tremble.

  "Ohunder, one fire, both are Gold Spirit Bones. Our Qingxua has hope for revival!" the Bck Dragon Elder ughed.

  Xu Taiping, who had taken ihing, remained calm as ever. It was only when Lin Buyu walked past him that he whispered, "gratutions, Buyu."

  Lin Buyu turned her head and g Xu Taiping, then nodded and said, "Thank you."

  Both of them had the kind of temperament that remained ued by favor or humiliation, but Lin Buyu seemed even more posed.

  "You, it's your turn," the voice of the Bck Dragon Elder rang out again.

  Upon hearing this, Xu Taiping raised his head and saw the Bck Dragon Elder's vertical pupils staring at him expetly.

  Qingxuan and Linglong became nervous at oheir gazes als to Xu Taiping.

  "Yes," Xu Taiping calmly nodded after meeting the Bck Dragon Elder's gaze.

  Then, under everyone's gaze, Xu Taiping pced his hand on the Dragon Pearl held by the Bck Dragon Elder and closed his eyes, fog his mind.

  "Buzz..."

  As he felt a radually enveloping him, it didn't take long for him to sehe trembling of the Dragon Pearl in his hand.

  When Xu Taiping opened his eyes, he saw that the inally transparent Dragon Pearl had turned a pale white color, resembling the color of the abandoned beast bones on the roadside.

  "As expected," Xu Taiping murmured to himself.

  His guess was correct. Although the elixir his grandfather left him could make his name appear in the Immortal Status, it couldn't make him a true Spiritual Bone.

  "White... White Bone?" Zhao Linglong's eyes were filled with disbelief as she looked at the white-colored Dragon Pearl.

  Although Qingxuan didn't say anything, his expression revealed his astonishment, han Zhao Linglong's.

  "The Spiritual Boele actually picked a white bohe luck of your Seventh Peak is as bad as ever," Jin Hezhi from the First Peak suddenly ughed again after seeing this se, his tone full of sarcasm.

  "You!"

  "Sister."

  Upon hearing this, Zhao Linglong was about to retort, but she was stopped by Qingxuan beside her.

  "Bck Dragon Elder, you please test again?" Qingxuan requested.

  "Qingxuan, you should know very well that this pearl won't make a mistake," the Bck Dragon Elder said with a tone full of authority.

  "Sigh..."

  Qingxuan sighed deeply upon hearing this.

  "Zi Yan, Hezhi, the two of you take the child up the mountain. You have nothing to do with this anymore."Bck Dragon Elder g Zi Yan and Jin Hezhi.

  "Bck Dragon Elder, Brother Qingxiao, Junior Sister Linglong, we will take our leave now."

  Jin Hezhi smiled, took Ye Xuan by the hand, and turo leave.

  "Senior Brother Jin, our Qingxua wouldn't even accept a boneless one, would we?"

  "Such trash, we at the First Peak would never accept."

  The versatioweewo came from the doorway, causing Qingxiao and Linglong to seethe with anger, but they were helpless.

  Knowing that the two were upset, Zi Yan didn't say anything a with Lin Buyu.

  After they left, Bck Dragon Elder opened his eyes again.

  "Bones have no qualifications to bee disciples of the Seventh Peak. You either stay at the foot of the mountain and bee a nameless disciple for three years, challehe Seventh Peak sele after three years, or leave the mountain immediately."

  He turned his gaze to Xu Taiping, who stood silently in pce.

  Clearly, he wanted Xu Taiping to make a choice.

  "Taiping…"

  "Let him decide for himself."

  Linglong, who was standing by the side, seemed to want to remind Xu Taiping of something, but was interrupted by Bck Dragon Elder.

  Upon hearing this, Linglong wisely closed her mouth and said no more.

  "If I pass the Seventh Peak sele, I still bee a disciple uhe Seventh Peak and bee your junior brother, Sister Linglong and Brother Qingxiao?"

  Xu Taiping didn't immediately answer Bck Dragon Elder, but turo look at Qingxiao and Linglong.

  "I guarantee you this. If you pass the sele, the door of the Seventh Peak will definitely be open to you."

  Qingxiao said seriously.

  He felt somewhat guilty for not being able t Xu Taiping up the mountain.

  "Taiping, it's good if you pass the sele, but it's too difficult."

  Linglong shook her head at Xu Taiping with a worried look on her face.

  Xu Taiping smiled at Linglong, then turo look at Bck Dragon Elder and said:

  "Elder, I want to stay at the foot of the mountain for three years."

  Xu Taiping would not go ba his word to his grandfather.

  Seeing Xu Taiping make a decision, Bck Dragon Elder nodded indifferently, then took out a jade scroll and ha to Xu Taiping, saying:

  "Take this jade scroll. Someone will take you down the mountain and tell you what you o pay attention to."

  "Thank you, Elder."

  Xu Taiping took the jade scroll.

  "Bck Dragon Elder, this child was brought up the mountain by me. I should be the oo take him down the mountain."

  Linglong stepped forward and made a request to Bck Dragon Elder.

  "Disciples of the Seventh Peak are not allowed to go down the mountain at will, nor are they allowed to interfere with matters at the foot of the mountain. However… sihis child was brought up the mountain by you, I will make an exception this time."

  Bck Dragon Elder pondered for a moment, then slowly nodded, indig his sent.

  "Thank you, Bck Dragon Elder!"

  Linglong, who had received permission, was overjoyed.

  "You 't stay at the foot of the mountain for more than two hours. Also, don't try any tricks. I 't trol what happens on the Seventh Peak, but if anything happens at the foot of the Seventh Peak, even if it's just a bde of grass or a tree, it won't escape my senses."

  Bck Dragon Elder warned Zhao Linglong.

  "Don't worry, Elder. I promise I won't do anything unnecessary."

  Linglong, whose thoughts had beehrough by Bck Dragon Elder, stuck out her tongue and then promised with a squinted smile.

  ***

  A moment ter.

  In front of the Dragon Gate Hall.

  "Junior Sister, I o report this to Master. I'll leave Taiping to you. You must arrange everything for him. After all, it will be difficult for us to e down the mountain to find him iure."

  Qingxiao instructed Linglong.

  "Don't worry, Senior Brother. I will arrange everything properly."

  Linglong promised Qingxiao.

  Qingxiao hen leaped up, stepping on a jade flute, his figure shot out like a streak of light.

  "Let's go, Taiping. We'll go to the West Wind Pavilion tister first, then find a good pce at the foot of the mountain where you ear and cultivate."

  Linglong patted Taiping's shoulder and ughed.

  "Ear?"

  Xu Taiping was a little fused about this term.

  "That's right."

  Linglong sighed and then expio Xu Taiping:

  "The outer disciples of the Qingxua at the foot of the mountain have to ear every year. Only by earning enough merit they tio stay in the Qingxua, otherwise, they will be driven out of the mountain."

  "So how I ear?"

  Xu Taiping asked again.

  "Every outer disciple get a room in the dormitory and a few acres of Immortal Field or medial garden after registration. You raise cattle and pigs in the dormitory, and pnt Immortal Grain or herbs in the Immortal Field. When they mature, you sell them for Merit s."

  Linglong expio Xu Taiping i detail.

  "Thank you, Sister Linglong. I uand. This merit is like the silver in our mundane world."

  Xu Taiping nodded in uanding.

  "You could say that."

  Linglong ughed, then took Xu Taiping's hand and said:

  "Let's go, Taiping. We'll go to the West Wind Pavilion tister first, then see if there's anything suitable for you to do."
