Chapter 893: Chapter 497: Becoming a Disciple_2
Upon hearing this, Meng Guangwen couldn’t help but frown slightly. His private relationship with Zeng Xin was quite good, so he inevitably began to worry.
However, after a moment of contemplation, he shook his head, "Don’t think too much about it. Since Steward Huang has invited you to Profound Magnet Mountain’s Drunken Fairy Building, it shouldn’t be anything bad."
Zeng Xin nodded, clearly agreeing with this view, "Alright, then I’ll head over right now."
When Zeng Xin arrived at the Drunken Fairy Building in Profound Magnet Mountain with an uneasy heart, a servant immediately led him into a private room.
"Captain Zeng, we meet again." Ye Feng greeted him first.
Seeing Ye Feng was also here, Zeng Xin’s heart pounded fiercely, and he finally understood why he had been invited. But this made it all the more incredible for him.
Because he had been patrolling earlier, he was not aware of Ye Feng’s situation.
Currently, seeing Ye Feng and Huang just sitting together, chatting and laughing, he didn’t quite understand what was going on.
But without a doubt, his previous action of helping Ye Feng had reaped an immense reward.
"Don’t just stand there. I promised to treat you to lunch; the dishes have just arrived. Sit down and let’s eat together!" said Ye Feng with a smile, seeing that Zeng Xin was still hesitant.
Huang Yunxiang, showing his amiable side as well, turned to the maid beside him, beckoned her over and said, "Bring the menu to Brother Zeng. Let him order two more dishes to his liking."
Zeng Xin, still a bit overwhelmed by the honor, quickly waved his hands in refusal, but when Huang Yunxiang put on a serious face, he dared not utter a word and complied obediently.
Looking at the menu, where any dish could equal a month’s salary for him, Zeng Xin ordered the two cheapest items and hurriedly handed the menu back.
Of course, this was just a minor episode. Huang Yunxiang’s attention was always on Ye Feng.
As they talked, he also discovered that Ye Feng was not very familiar with their Heavenly God Court. He kept extolling the virtues of his own home, incessantly presenting the best aspects.
Ye Feng occasionally agreed with him and, of course, would sometimes raise some questions. As the conversation progressed, he became more and more acquainted with the Heavenly God Court.
The meal ended amidst this casual conversation.
Liu Ying, Zeng Xin, and others were taken to another area, and soon the private room was left with only Ye Feng and Huang Yunxiang.
Seeing this scene, Ye Feng knew that the time had come to talk about serious matters.
"Young friend Ye Feng, you’ve now got a fair understanding of our Heavenly God Court, so I formally invite you to join the Sixth Elder’s Lineage," Huang Yunxiang said with a serious expression.
The Heavenly God Court has ten Great Elders, and the affairs of the God Court are generally managed by these ten Elders.
Only some major matters would disrupt the Courtyard Lord Tiányuán and Vice Court Master Jia Xuan.
Among these ten Elders, the combined strength of the Sixth Elder’s Lineage is considered mid-level.
Thus, joining the Sixth Elder’s Lineage is not necessarily good, but also definitely not bad.
Of course, what Ye Feng truly cared about was not this; after all, no matter which lineage he joined, as long as they were willing to invest resources in his development, it would be enough to boost his ascension.
So, the most important thing was what price the Sixth Elder’s Lineage was willing to pay to cultivate him.
After a brief thought, Ye Feng asked, "Before that, I would like to know what kind of resources and support I could gain by joining your Sixth Elder’s Lineage?"
Seeing that Ye Feng had started to negotiate terms, Huang Yunxian knew he had succeeded halfway, and he couldn’t help but smile, immediately saying, "You can rest assured about that. Before you become a Divine Spirit, we can provide resources free of charge."
"Even after you achieve the True God Realm, we can offer a massive amount of the Power of Faith to help you become Higher Gods as quickly as possible."
"Moreover, most importantly, Elder Zheng Xiuqiong is paying attention to this matter, and if you agree today, you can be immediately promoted exceptionally to become an official disciple of the Sixth Elder."
"If you can obtain the first place among the Ninth Order Strongmen in the upcoming Heavenly Points Competition, you can even leap to become a Direct Disciple."
"You must know, there are currently only two direct disciples of Elder Zheng, and even counting you, there would only be three. On average, the level of support you can receive is tremendous," Huang Yunxiang said with a tempting tone.
Hearing this, Ye Feng’s heart stirred; to be honest, he was indeed somewhat tempted.
Being accepted as a direct disciple by an elder was almost the best outcome he could have imagined before coming to the Heavenly God Court.
Moreover, Huang Yunxiang was right—if that Sixth Elder truly only had three direct disciples, then he would undoubtedly be more dedicated when teaching.
Of course, an even more important point was that Ye Feng’s requirements were not high. His main goal in attending this Heavenly Points Conference was to unlock a channel for cultivation.
Even without any cultivation resources, he believed he would quickly reach the True God Realm, and by then he would have established a firm foothold.
Add to that the attitude of Huang Yunxiang, which had made Ye Feng feel comfortable, so after a moment of contemplation, he nodded, "Good! I am willing to join the Sixth Elder’s Lineage, and please, Steward Huang, take good care of me in the future."
"Haha, my pleasure, my pleasure," Huang Yunxiang said, his face beaming with a smile.
However, after he finished laughing, Huang Yunxiang’s expression turned serious, "But there is one thing I must clarify in advance. As you know, our Heavenly God Court and the Primordial Temple are at odds with each other."
"Therefore, every Elder is extremely cautious when accepting disciples, worrying about the possibility of the other side sending spies."
"Before you become an apprentice, you will have to make a vow with your Dao heart, asserting that you do not belong to the Primordial Temple."
Such a requirement was naturally very reasonable, and Ye Feng had no reason to refuse; he immediately nodded in agreement.
After confirming this matter, they did not linger there any longer.
Huang Yunxiang then directly led Ye Feng to the Qiong Palace, where the Sixth Elder Zheng Xiujing normally resided.
"Please wait here for a moment, I’ll go and notify her," Huang Yunxiang instructed before quickly walking inside.
It wasn’t long before a maid came out, leading Ye Feng and his four subordinates together into the heart of the Qiong Palace.
Naturally, Ye Feng’s four subordinates were directly taken to a side hall, while Ye Feng followed the maid, passing through the garden in front to arrive at the main hall.
Here he finally saw the Sixth Elder Zheng Xiujing.
To Ye Feng, she seemed powerful, profound, and vast, as if looking at her was like gazing upon an endless ocean.
"Greetings to the Sixth Elder," Ye Feng said respectfully.
"If nothing unexpected happens, you are indeed the most exceptional talent of this conference. I am very pleased to have a disciple like you. But of course, before this, you need to make a Dao heart vow to the Heavenly Stone," Zheng Xiujing said in a gentle voice.
"Alright, what should I do?" Ye Feng immediately nodded and asked.
Zheng Xiujing raised her hand, and a stone emitting a rainbow radiance appeared before Ye Feng.
"Place your hand on it and then make the vow," Zheng Xiujing instructed as she looked towards Huang Yunxiang.
Huang Yunxiang immediately understood, approaching Ye Feng and handing him a piece of paper with the terms of the vow.
Ye Feng carefully read through it, essentially vowing that he was not from the Primordial Temple, with the wording so precise as to leave no loopholes.
After reviewing it twice with no issues, Ye Feng placed his hand on the Heavenly Stone and made his vow according to the text.
Ye Feng could feel that as he made his vow, there seemed to be a force between Heaven and Earth watching over him.
This force was not unfamiliar to Ye Feng; it was the Cosmic Will paying attention to him.
The spectacle made Ye Feng feel a bit surprised, but that was that.
After completing the vow, he immediately looked towards Zheng Xiujing and asked, "Elder, is this acceptable now?"
"Now that you have made your vow, why have you not yet switched to a different form of address?" Zheng Xiujing asked with a smile.
Ye Feng was startled for a moment, but he quickly grasped what was expected and said with an even more respectful tone, "Disciple pays his respects to Master."
"Very good, very good! Here, this is your gift for becoming my disciple," Zheng Xiujing said, and she took out an item that floated towards Ye Feng.
