Chapter Ninety-One: Grouping

  A massive airship soared through the sky, blocking out the sun and radiating an aura of immense power that dispersed the clouds at the horizon, carrying everyone on board as it pierced through space and emerged into the outside world.

  "Fellow disciples, several small towns at the foot of the mountain are being attacked by ghosts and monsters at the same time. Let's split up and each lead two or three people to gain experience. This is the first time our new junior fellow disciples have gone out for training, I don't want them to get into any trouble."

  On the sky ship, Chu Cheng wore a white robe that fluttered in the wind, his hands clasped behind his back as he spoke faintly to a group of young men and women standing behind him.

  "I humbly obey the Master's order."

  A dozen or so young disciples, including Luo Yun, all bowed their fists and respectfully replied to Chu Cheng.

  "Alright, let's start dividing into groups now, it's best if we can make them as even as possible." Chu Cheng said.

  "Yes."

  These young disciples were the worst of the best, and their cultivation was at the initial stage of the Transcendent Realm. They could be called the most elite disciples in the sect. However, they all listened to and obeyed Chu Cheng's words, which showed that Chu Cheng's status in the Three Extremes Sect was extraordinary.

  A dozen or so people responded in unison, then gathered all the newly admitted disciples over.

  "Now let's start grouping. Those of you who have transcended the ordinary realm, stand on one side. Those in the initial, middle and late stages of the Condensing Spirit Realm should also separate."

  At the sound of Chu City's order, all disciples automatically dispersed and gathered together.

  Xiao Fan naturally chose to stand with the disciples who were in the Deva Realm. After he walked over, he only then discovered that among the newly promoted disciples, he was the only one in the Deva Realm.

  At the beginning, when everyone first entered the Three Extremes Sect, more than half of the disciples were at the Mortal Refining Realm. Who would have thought that after more than half a year had passed, everyone had broken through to the Condensing Spirit Realm, leaving only Xiao Fan awkwardly standing in the area belonging to the Mortal Refining Realm.

  "Isn't he the first person in the test? How come he still hasn't broken through?" The newly admitted disciples looked at Xiao Fan with some curiosity, discussing among themselves.

  "Detaching from the mundane realm is the best way to cultivate, it's just a matter of accumulating quantity, as long as there are enough spiritual stones, one can break through to the peak of the detached mundane realm. How come he hasn't broken through yet? Is his so-called purple-grade talent fake?"

  "Yes, thinking back to when I first entered the sect, my cultivation was only at the 6th level of Mortal Ascension. After entering the Three Extremes Sect, I received the rewards and benefits from Master and the sect, and after refining many spirit stones, I broke through to the peak of Mortal Ascension in just ten short days. Later, under Master's guidance, I broke through to the Condensed Spirit Realm in just two months."

  Listening to the discussions of those disciples, Xiao Fan's face looked extremely ugly. No wonder others had broken through, it turned out that their masters had given them enough spirit stones, while his own master seemed not to have given him a single spirit stone. No wonder his cultivation couldn't break through.

  Xiao Fan's heart felt a pang of bitterness, 'Master, Master, with your cultivation that can reach the heavens, how could you give me, your disciple, only a few hundred million top-grade spirit stones? I wouldn't have lost face for you.'

  "Who wants him?"

  Xiao Fan was still thinking wildly at the same time, those elite disciples had already been assigned to people, only Xiao Fan stood alone, no one wanted him.

  "Why don't we just send him back? With his current level of cultivation and spiritual energy not yet condensed, he's no match for ghosts and monsters." one of the disciples spoke up.

  "Yes, before he condensed his divine soul, even a small ghost could invade him." Another disciple spoke up.

  "Master brother, have you considered how?"

  "Shut up." With a cold laugh, Chu Cheng spoke up: "Elder Luo's order is for all newly admitted disciples. Didn't you hear clearly?"

  "Just with his transcendent cultivation, even if he were to descend from the mountain, it would be hard for him to protect himself." A young female disciple said.

  "Shut up." Chu Cheng suddenly let out a loud shout, and instantly, all the disciples were shocked and didn't dare to speak again.

  "If they all have the power of self-destruction, what else do you need to do? You just need to protect their safety, but also give them enough opportunities for empowerment, got it?"

  Listening to the conversation of these elite disciples, Xiao Fan's face rarely showed a hint of embarrassment, as if he had become a burden and was being shunned by these elite disciples.

  "It seems it's time to think of ways to speed up my cultivation." Xiao Fan secretly made a decision, after experiencing the trials, he must quickly raise his cultivation to the peak of the 9th rank of the Transcendent Realm, and then break through to the Condensing Spirit Realm.

  "Come with me." Luo Yun said.

  "Uh-huh."

  Chu Cheng nodded slightly and glanced at the other elite disciples before opening his mouth to say in a light tone, "I don't want there to be a next time."

  Although the tone was calm, a group of elite disciples who had reached the realm of Houtian and above all nodded in unison, not daring to show any dissatisfaction. This is Chucheng, representing the absolute prestige of the Eldest Senior Brother of Sanjueduan.

  "Follow me." Luo Yun smiled faintly at Xiao Fan and led him to the other side of the Tianjian.

  At this moment, another female disciple was waiting there, who was in the early stage of condensing her spirit and belonged to Luo Yun's group.

  "You two get acquainted first, for the next few days it will be just the three of us together." Luo Yun smiled and said to the pair.

  "Yes, thank you elder sister."

  Xiao Fan gave Luo Yun a faint smile and looked at the girl. The girl was petite, her face not particularly stunning, only average-looking.

  "Little sister Chen Yan, I've met Master Xiao." Chen Yan smiled frankly at Xiao Fang, and one glance was enough to tell that she was an outgoing person.

  "Miss Chen was being polite, I suppose you also know me, so I won't introduce myself, haha, for the next period of time, please take care. Xiaofan's face also showed a smile."

  "Young sister has no virtue and ability, should be asking elder brother for more care instead." Chen Yan said with a smile.

  "Your cultivation has already reached the Condensing Spirit Realm, while I'm still just in the Departing Mortality Realm. When we encounter danger, it's only natural that Chen Gongzhuang will have to take care of you." Xiao Fan said with a light smile.

  "Xiao Shixiong is joking, little sister believes that with Xiao Shixiong's talent, breaking through to the Condensed Spirit Realm would be easy as can be. It must be that with Shixiong's talent, even if temporarily not breaking through to the Condensed Spirit Realm, dealing with some evil spirits and ghosts would also be effortless." Chen Yan smiled kindly.

  "Hehe." Regardless of how much truth was in Chen Yan's words, perhaps it wasn't her true inner thoughts, but after hearing them, Xiao Fan felt a warm current flowing through his heart, making him feel extremely comfortable.

  "Has Shixiong ever encountered ghosts or monsters before?"

  "Haven't met you before, have you?"

  "I also don't..."

  Two people chatted, meanwhile, Xiao Fan's gaze turned to the other people on the Tianjian, he unexpectedly found that Xiaopang, Qin Jian and Zhang Chuchu were assigned to the same group, led by a beautiful woman.

  Moreover, it seems that Zhang Chuchu and the woman who led the team were quite familiar with each other, and they chatted happily.

  Seeing the three of them in the same group, Xiao Fan felt a sense of relief and a smile appeared on his face.
