Chapter 158 Elder Su and Vice Sect Master's Tragedy
Tu Che took them to the mansion where there were many Black robe elders. They all looked at the new disciples with curiosity in their eyes. They were trying to find out Brian.
After all, they just asked the ancestors about him but they haven't seen him so they were curious.
"Elder Tu, is there any disciple suitable for me this year?" An elder walked toward Elder Tu and asked. He had a gloomy look on his face but he seemed to be trying his best to keep a smile.
"I am not sure, Elder Su. Once we register them, you can look up their resume and choose if any one of them had such potential." Tu Che smiled and replied as he walked away from Elder Su.
When he walked away, he used his spiritual sense and spoke.
'I don't know if you have any interest in alchemy or not but don't be his disciple. That crazy man won't even hesitate to experiment with his own disciple.'
'If he hadn't been the only Domain Rank Alchemist in our sect, we wouldn't have kept him.'
Hearing his words, Brian paused for a moment and turned around. His movement didn't go unnoticed by others. Tu Che felt like Brian was once again going to say something.
He hesitated whether to stop him or not. Brian's previous words inspired him as well. So, he had great respect for Brian's words.
Brian walked next to the elder and called out.
"Elder, have you ever thought of experimenting on monsters?"
Hearing his words, Elder Su turned around and looked at Brian with confusion.
"What do you mean by experimenting on the monsters? What help would it be?"
Brian shook his head and said "We eat chicken but we also eat monster beast meat. Monsters eat us and spirit. The devil eats everyone. There is almost no difference on us except for some difference created by our cultivation."
"From a biological aspect, we humans are no different than monsters or spirits. The only differences are the appearances and bloodlines. So, instead of experimenting on humans, you can experiment on monsters. After all, they are our enemies."
"As a cultivator, we can go on without sleep or eating for weeks or even months or even years. But, you still have those dark circles around your eyes. You are probably the one who works the hardest in the entire sect. I don't even need to think twice before making this statement."
"So, as long as you understand how your experiments affect your reputation and change it, I believe you will get many disciples. Thank you for listening!"
Saying so, Brian turned around and walked next to Tu Che.
"Elder, let's go for registration!"
"Ahh yes!" Tu Che suddenly woke up from his thoughts and led him to the vice sect master's office.
"Disciple, stop right there!" Suddenly, Elder Su shouted from behind and rushed toward them. Tu Che instantly walked in front of Brian in a defensive stance.
But, Elder Su didn't make any move but rather smiled and asked "Can you tell me your name? And, would you like to join Alchemy Branch?"
Brian shook his head "My name is Brian Jackson. I already have a master. Although I am curious about Alchemy, I am in rush for cultivation. So, sorry I can't put my time in Alchemy."
"Y-y-you are Brian, the one with Divine Rank Martial Soul?" Elder Su looked at him with wide eyes as he asked.
"He is a Brian, the one who got Holy Armor."
"I thought he would be with Elder Ping. I don't see her."
The elders all around the mansion started whispering as their gazes landed on Brian.
It was a bit overwhelming even for Brian. He quickly turned around and said.
"Elder, we should really go and register."
Tu Che felt a bit funny seeing him like that. He turned around and left with his disciples.
"Brother Brian, it seems like you are going to be famous in the sect soon enough." A young man slowly approached him and spoke.
Brian turned around and this time, he didn't see that old fear in their eyes. Instead, they seemed curious about him.
"Well, I just hope they won't disturb me." Brian smiled and replied.
His smile made them even more comfortable.
One of the girls asked, "Brother Brian, why do you know so much?"
"Just call me Brian. Adding Brother doesn't sound quite good with my name. As for why I know so much. Would you believe me if I tell you I am the Smartest Man in the world?" Brian smirked and asked.
Hearing his words, everyone rolled their eyes but Tu Che suddenly spoke.
"I believe."
Everyone including Brian was stunned by that reply.
"After all, there is no one in this world who can connect to our ancestor's Dao in a single try. But of course, I still remember what you said. You might be the smartest person but you are not the wisest." Tu Che answered.
Brian didn't expect him to answer it. He looked at Tu Che and chuckled.
"Elder, you are correct. I am definitely not the wisest person. In fact, I am quite reckless."
Elder Tu put his hand on Brian's shoulder and patted.
"Don't worry! As you experience more, the more wisdom you will gain."
Brian nodded as they finally entered a room. It was a completely simple room with a big desk directly in front of the door. There was a chair behind the table where a middle-aged man was sitting.
On the desk, there were several papers and different items that he didn't recognize.
The middle-aged man raised him when the door opened.
"Elder Tu, you have finally arrived. Are these the new disciples?"
"Yes, we get ten new disciples this year." Elder Tu nodded.
"Well, including the one who had already arrived and registered, there seems to be nine of you. Hmm….. you must be Brian, right?" The Vice Sect Master glanced directly at Brian.
Next to him, Chu Ling was holding his hand.
Both of them bowed down.
"Greeting Vice Sect Master!"
"I can't believe you managed to subdue that dysfunctional armor. Anyway, let's register all of you. You have already chosen Elder Ping as your master so you just have to write your name on this stone." Vice Sect Master pushed a flat black stone with a golden pen and spoke.
Brian was surprised when the Vice Sect Master called the armor dysfunctional. He couldn't help but look at Elder Tu who tilted his head in reply.
Brian sighed and walked to the front. He picked up the pen and wrote his name.
"Now, this little girl also needs to write her name. I assume her Martial Soul is Earth Rank. If so, then she will be directly under your master as well." Vice Sect Master pushed the stone next to her.
The golden letters on the stone slowly vanished. On that desk, there was a strange mouth-shaped tool. Vice Sect Master put his hand inside it and took out a green jade stone.
"This is your identity. It records your Contribution Points, your ranks, your master's name, and yours. Keep it safe and don't lose it."
Brian nodded and put it inside his spatial ring.
"Now, take these things as well!"
Vice Sect Master released some items from his spatial ring and placed them on the table. There was a miniature boat, three scrolls, three bottles filled with three different colored pills, and finally a bronze token.
"Using the token in the Weapon Gathering Room, you can get a weapon for yourself. Don't forget to read these scrolls and also you can enlarge this boat with your spiritual energy. As for other resources, you will get those from your master."
Brian put everything inside his Spatial Ring and at this time, Chu Ling finished writing her name. Thankfully, the desk was a bit short, or else she wouldn't even reach the top.
Vice Sect Master took out a small black ring and gave it to her.
"This has everything you need. Since you have entered the sect under Disciple Brian's identity, you would be given the same benefits as those with Heaven Rank Talent."
"Since you are under Elder Ping, you will receive your cultivation technique and martial arts from her as well."
"Next!"
Saying so, he immediately called out another person. Brian and Chu Ling retreated. Elder Tu took them out while Brian asked.
"Don't we need to wait for them?"
Elder Tu shook his head and said "They will find their own masters who will take them away. Let's go! I will take you two to her cave."
Brian nodded. After they left the mansion, Brian couldn't help but ask.
"Why did the vice sect master call this armor dysfunctional?"
Elder Tu heavily sighed and said "Just like you, he was also able to motivate this armor very much. In fact, it even allowed him to wear it. But, during a great battle, the vice sect master wanted to give this armor to his loved ones to keep her safe."
"But, this armor didn't listen to him and only stuck with him no matter how much he tried. After the battle, she died. From that moment, he threw away this armor and said he will never wear this armor even if he dies."
