My disciples are all qualified by the emperor

Everyone has a different personality.

It’s just that because the weak are too weak, they can only suppress their own personalities, and their outward performance is not much different from the mainstream.

That's what we call following the crowd.

The strong are so strong that they are above most people, so their personalities are released without any concealment. There is no need to follow the crowd and suppress their own personalities.

Just like Dean Cang Xuan, when others mention Dean Cang Xuan, isn’t the first thing that comes to mind his high moral character and sage-like demeanor?

Who would have thought that Dean Cang Xuan was actually half-squatting next to a tree stump, grabbing a handful of tea leaves and casually throwing them into the hot water. He had been wearing that linen robe for who knows how long, and it was all wrinkled.

This is a manifestation of not suppressing individuality.

In their view, if you don’t like someone, just get lost, and if you don’t want to make friends with someone, just get away. At their level, it is almost impossible to get them to accommodate or actively curry favor with others.

Of course...if you have that value, you can still make them actively curry favor with you.

After all, almost everything in this world can be exchanged for benefits. If it cannot be exchanged, it means that the benefits you give are not enough.

"Are you here? Come and sit down. And try some of my big leaf tea."

Looking at Dean Cang Xuan squatting there and waving at them.

Ye Qiubai and Xu Yeming looked at each other, then walked over. Just as they were about to bow, they heard Dean Cang Xuan wave his hand and said, "Since I have called you to Cang Xuan Peak, don't do those empty formalities. I don't want this place to become fake."

Ye Qiubai and Xu Yeming insisted on bowing.

Dean Cang Xuan frowned slightly upon seeing this, and threw away two cups of large leaf tea with an unhappy look on his face, "You don't give me any face at all, I won't give you this tea."

Ye Qiubai smiled and said, "What you said is just empty etiquette, but we respect you for your hard work for the academy, for your teaching and answering questions in the academy, and for your willingness to give those casual cultivators the opportunity to enter the academy to practice."

When Cang Xuan Academy recruits students, it has an iron rule: it does not consider background but only talent.

This is also the rule issued by the current Dean Cang Xuan.

Although the talents of independent cultivators are much lower than those of children from aristocratic families, there are always some gold hidden among them.

Ding Xuan, that's it.

“So, our greetings are not fake as the predecessors said, but are sincere.” Ye Qiubai concluded with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Dean Cang Xuan's hand hesitated slightly, then he laughed loudly, refilled the two cups with water, grabbed a handful of broad-leaf tea from his pocket and threw it in.

"You didn't have a restricted air formation, but you still managed to climb all the way up. You're quite thoughtful. Let's have some tea."

As he spoke, Dean Cang Xuan gently waved his hand towards Ye Qiubai and the other man, and an invisible force forced the two to sit on the ground, but this force did not give any sense of oppression.

"Drink."

So, the two of them took a sip of the tea. Although it was the common large-leaf tea and casually brewed tea, it had a unique taste.

Dean Cang Xuan said as he drank, "Drinking tea is like practicing. You drink a state of mind. People with a calm mind can appreciate the taste of my tea, while people with a restless mind can only use it to quench their thirst."

Seeing Ye Qiubai and the other man looking somewhat enjoyed, Dean Cang Xuan couldn't help but feel a hint of appreciation for their talent.

Not only is he sincere, but he is also able to remain calm when facing him. These two qualities alone have already surpassed 90% of the young people in the world of immortal cultivation today.

"I don't deserve the evaluation from my seniors." Ye Qiubai said.

Dean Cang Xuan: "He was born in the mortal world, and at this age he has already passed the second level of thunder tribulation, and entered the realm of sword rules. He is unprecedented, and he is not arrogant because of his achievements. He advances and retreats in moderation and is neither arrogant nor impatient. Why can't he deserve it?"

Dean Cang Xuan's tone was a little agitated, and he seemed very excited.

Then he looked at Xu Yeming and said, "Although I don't know what kind of physique it is, but the owner of the Classic of Mountains and Seas can absorb the blood of the Qilin clan... If my guess is correct, I'm afraid you have also absorbed the blood of other exotic beasts, right?"

At this point, Dean Cang Xuan showed a teasing expression on his face, "You should be the son of that kid Xu Canghai, right?"

Xu Yeming's face was shocked, and Ye Qiubai also frowned slightly.

"There's no need to be wary of me. I'm just an old man in his twilight years and have no intention of getting involved in those power struggles." Dean Cang Xuan waved his hand jokingly.

"How does senior know?"

Although Dean Cang Xuan did not guess the heart of the Great Wilderness Beast, it was a physique that had never appeared before after all.

But it still reveals some of the abilities of the Great Wild Beast Heart.

What's more, since Xu Yeming came to Cang Xuan College, he has never shown this ability in front of anyone, so when Dean Cang Xuan said it, he was surprised.

Dean Cang Xuan smiled and said, "You will know this later."

"But before that, I, an old guy, would like to talk to the young people of this generation. I don't know if my thinking is backward."

"Please speak, senior." Ye Qiubai said.

"If there is a way for you to successfully survive the ninth level of thunder tribulation, but the prerequisite is to do it at all costs, what choice will you make?"

Dean Cang Xuan's words were very straightforward.

After saying this, he stared at the two people in front of him with burning eyes.

But Ye Qiubai disagreed.

He had already experienced this choice when he was at the ruins of the Ascension Gods.

The condition is to join the divine world.

Ye Qiubai rejected it at that time.

This condition doesn't seem as difficult to achieve as Dean Cang Xuan said. Ye Qiubai was able to reject it, let alone this?

So he said calmly: "If it violates my Dao heart, I will naturally reject it."

Hearing this, Dean Cang Xuan turned his gaze to Xu Yeming again.

Xu Yeming was stunned.

It would be a lie to say I wasn't moved.

That is the ninth level of thunder tribulation.

Let’s put it this way, if you can survive the nine-fold thunder tribulation, as long as you don’t die in the middle, then you will definitely be able to stand at the pinnacle of the six realms in the future.

But...if he were to do this at all costs.

Xu Yeming asked himself and realized that he couldn't do that. In his opinion, the purpose of cultivation was to protect the people he wanted to protect and to do what he wanted to do.

What if the price he pays goes against his own heart, then what is the point of practicing?

What’s more… Master is here.

Thinking of this, Xu Yeming shook his head and smiled: "I agree with my senior brother."

Dean Cang Xuan smiled: "You are also smart people. You should know that when I ask this question, it means that I do have this method, right?"

The two nodded.

"Then you may have just rejected the path to the Ninth Lightning Tribulation. Don't you regret it? Perhaps I can give you another chance."

The two shook their heads.

Dean Cang Xuan then stood up and said, "You are so decisive in rejecting me... If that's the case, come with me."

After saying that, Dean Cang Xuan pressed his palm towards the wooden house behind him.

The wooden house turned into sawdust in an instant!

And below it, there is actually a space teleportation array.
