Chapter 1500 - 1395: So It’s a Wasted Body
I was wrong.
After saying this, Ren Zhengfei felt as if he had exhausted all his strength and was utterly depleted.
At this moment, a voice came from overhead. "Alright, get up," said Qin Hao.
Ren Zhengfei didn’t get up, not because he didn’t want to, but because he found himself utterly exhausted.
A single movement, a single word, had drained all his strength.
"Old fool! Why are you still kneeling! Get up!"
Jin Kui started shouting again, "Staying here will only hinder our boss from being accepted as a disciple, understand!"
Upon hearing this, Ren Zhengfei’s body shook violently.
Afterward, he slowly climbed up, his figure hunching as he retreated to the side.
"Useless!"
Even as he walked far away, he could still hear Jin Kui’s insults.
At that moment, the unbearable blow made him collapse to the ground, his heart ashen.
As for this scene, Sect Leader Lei and the others seemed to turn a blind eye.
He who insults others will himself be insulted.
Since they had already handed Ren Zhengfei’s life and death power to Qin Hao and the others,
they had no intention to intervene.
To be frank, cultivation is to pursue truth, to go against the current, to face difficulties.
If one is timid and fearful, unable even to help humiliate their enemy,
then their disposition is ordinary, and they are unsuited for the path of cultivation.
If Qin Hao and others appeared overly timid or magnanimous, the higher-ups would actually view them unfavorably.
...
"Alright, this matter shall end here, and no one is allowed to mention it again,"
with the matter settled, Sect Leader Lei spoke aloud, met with heartfelt approval from Qin Hao and the others.
"Now, let’s discuss the matter of accepting disciples,"
Sect Leader Lei said this to several fellow cultivators.
Ji Xinhu stated earnestly, "By calculation, it has been a long time since I accepted a disciple. Even if I cannot secure Qin Hao this time, I am willing to accept one as a disciple."
Upon hearing this, the beautiful Hall Master of the Medicine Hall laughed and said, "I think the same way. Since I came, even if I don’t secure the ’Champion Scholar,’ I shall still accept a disciple."
Elder Zhuge knocked off the mud from his straw sandals, "To see this beautiful jade, I even stopped my digging. If I can’t secure this one, I need to find someone to farm with me!"
Instantly, nearly every elder expressed their intentions.
Qin Hao and the others saw this scene and were utterly shocked.
These elders all intended to accept disciples.
So today, wouldn’t we have the opportunity to become True Disciples?
In terms of rank, True Disciples are actually equal to Inner Sect Disciples.
But the difference is, Inner Sect Disciples have no teacher to guide them, unlike the True Disciples.
True Disciples’ teachers are big shot figures, effectively giving them backing and support, with more resources available. Naturally, this makes cultivation even more convenient.
Now, such a good opportunity lies before us?
Qin Hao and the others couldn’t help but feel excited.
"Ahem." Sect Leader Lei cleared his throat causing the place to quiet down, and then he looked with burning eyes at Qin Hao, "Since you’ve all set your minds, let’s take a look at the qualifications of this ’Champion Scholar’."
With that said, he beckoned to Qin Hao, "Please come over."
Qin Hao understood what the other meant and walked over confidently.
"Don’t move." Sect Leader Lei placed his palm on top of Qin Hao’s head, very gently.
As he did so, the senior members all craned their necks to watch attentively.
A moment later, Sect Leader Lei’s hand moved away, his expression solemn.
"How is it?"
The first to ask was the Punishment Hall Elder.
"It’s hard to say." Sect Leader Lei looked at Qin Hao with a complicated expression, "It really is a once-in-a-century good seedling. But..."
"But what? Is it a wasted body?"
The Punishment Hall Elder’s eyes widened.
"You could say that." Sect Leader Lei sighed, his brows furrowed in some sadness.
"Is it really a wasted body?"
The Punishment Hall Elder stopped in his tracks and gazed at Qin Hao very disappointed, "I hurried here all for a wasted body?"
"You can’t say it like that."
Sect Leader Lei waved his hand, "Aside from the bloodline issue, Qin Hao’s talent is still quite exceptional."
"What’s the use of talent? With the bloodline shackles present, he’s destined to be unable to break through the Qi Condensation, ultimately just an ordinary person!"
Kong Denghui also stepped forward, looking at Qin Hao with a hint of delight.
By calculation, Qin Hao was considered his enemy.
To see an enemy so miserable, his heart was still quite joyful.
"Wonderful! Such a wasted body! Hahaha! This kid!"
The prone Ren Zhengfei stood up, shouting somewhat crazily.
"Sect Leader, can you tell me what wasted body means?" Despite knowing it was something bad, Qin Hao still resolutely asked.
"Do you know your bloodline has issues?" Sect Leader Lei looked at Qin Hao with a complex expression.
"I know." Qin Hao nodded. His bloodline was incredibly mystical and pure, able to neutralize all poisons and devour all things.
"Sigh, your kind of bloodline indeed has many mystical aspects. Before discovering its drawbacks, we used to call it the Immortal Bloodline."
As Sect Leader Lei said this, Qin Hao exclaimed, "Drawbacks? My bloodline has drawbacks?"
"Of course!"
Sect Leader Lei’s voice was filled with helplessness: "Your bloodline has a devouring nature, it swallows everything, including Spiritual Qi. That’s why your Spiritual Qi is now mixed with your bloodline."
At this fact, when Qin Hao was expelled by Master Chu, it was because his Spiritual Qi was hidden within his bloodline.
"Currently, your bloodline’s devouring force is not strong enough to affect your cultivation. But once you reach the Qi Condensation Realm, it will be different," Sect Leader Lei’s voice carried sympathy: "Cultivators wish to cross into the Qi Condensation Realm must attempt rebirth, and if successful, all their bodily functions will receive a transformative enhancement."
"And if your bloodline level gets enhanced, its devouring force will be more terrifying. It will consume all your Spiritual Qi, making you unable to cultivate."
Upon hearing this, Qin Hao understood.
It turns out my bloodline is too voracious, a complete glutton.
And once I attain the Qi Condensation Realm, this glutton will rampage and consume all my Spiritual Qi.
Without Spiritual Qi inside me, naturally, I cannot cultivate and thus stagnate.
That’s why my physique is called a "wasted body."
"Now, do you understand?" Sect Leader Lei looked at Qin Hao.
"I understand," Qin Hao nodded, his voice calm.
"Sigh, even upon receiving such terrible news, your composure is truly remarkable," Sect Leader Lei sighed.
"What’s the use of a remarkable composure? Still just a waste of a person."
Not far away, Ren Zhengfei laughed out loud.
Kong Denghui also shook his head, "Since this child is so incapable, I won’t be competing with any of you."
That was a falsehood; even if Qin Hao’s talent were better, he did not intend to accept him as a disciple.
After all, this fellow was his enemy.
