Chapter 291: Two hundred and ninety, good news Chapter 291: Two hundred and ninety, good news The Great Elder nodded and turned his gaze toward the stage, where he noticed that Song Yan Ning had already finished making her talisman, showing a slight hint of surprise, “That disciple has finished already, from which peak is she?” He was usually preoccupied with countless matters, and with each peak having its own Master to manage, he rarely paid much attention to any disciple other than the true geniuses.
“Reporting to the Great Elder, she is Song Ning, a disciple from Spiritual Medicine Peak. She has not finished crafting the talisman, but rather, she did not do any refining at all,” Elder You naturally knew whom the Great Elder was referring to.
The Great Elder slightly furrowed his brows, “What’s going on?”
“This disciple is a waste who does not possess a Spirit Root,” Elder You stated.
The Great Elder’s expression darkened, “How could someone without a Spirit Root be admitted into the sect?” The Yunshan Sect was known for its rigorous standards when it came to accepting disciples.
“She is a descendant of an old acquaintance of the Spiritual Medicine Peak Master. When the Peak Master brought her back to the sect, the Sect Master was consulted,” Elder You said.
The Great Elder pondered for a moment, “I seem to recall such an incident. Still, keeping a waste without a Spirit Root in the sect is always somewhat improper; it’s bound to cause dissatisfaction among the other disciples.” If it were an Outer Disciple, it would be somewhat better.
Elder You nodded in agreement, “The Spiritual Medicine Peak Master has already agreed that if she remains in last place after this competition, she will be expelled from the sect.” He knew that the Peak Master of Spiritual Medicine Peak was reluctant, but could not stand against the pressure from the other peak masters. The Peak Master knew well that a waste without a Spirit Root had no hope of remaining.
The Great Elder nodded once more, then looked back towards Song Yan Ning and shook his head. What a pity, if she were not a waste without a Spirit Root and with the favoritism of the Spiritual Medicine Peak Master, she could have definitely become a core disciple of the Yunshan Sect.
As time passed, the various disciples on the platform had also set down their pens, completing the crafting of their talismans.
Elder You walked up to the stage and scanned the talismans of all disciples with his Divine Sense. When he scanned the talisman in front of Song Yan Ning, he was taken aback. She had actually succeeded in refining one as well.
Approaching Song Yan Ning, he picked up the talisman and inspected it carefully, “Did you craft this?” She was supposed to lack a Spirit Root; how could she craft a talisman of such quality?
“Yes,” Song Yan Ning nodded her head.
“Weren’t you without a Spirit Root?” Elder You looked at Song Yan Ning curiously. It would be impossible for her to cheat; the entire stage was under the watch of an array.
“I do have a Spirit Root, only, it was awakened late,” Song Yan Ning stated.
“Who taught you to make talismans?” Elder You inquired. If Song Ning truly knew how to refine talismans, it was impossible that no one would be aware of it.
“Senior Sister Xue Qi taught me how to refine talismans, and she also taught me Alchemy,” Song Yan Ning had already prepared her story. Now that Xue Qi was gone, she could say whatever she wanted.
Elder You nodded, half doubting and half believing. Although he found Song Ning’s words somewhat dubious, the fact that she had crafted a talisman was undeniable.
After inspecting all the disciples’ talismans, Elder You announced to everyone, “The first place in the talisman crafting competition goes to, Song Ning, a disciple from Spiritual Medicine Peak.”
As soon as he spoke, the crowd below buzzed with disbelief.
The Great Elder’s face fell. How could Song Ning, who was without a Spirit Root, manage to craft a talisman? The result bewildered him.
Elder You stepped down from the stage, and upon seeing the Great Elder’s displeased face, he realized that there must be questions on his mind. In truth, he also had many questions of his own.
“What happened?”
All Elder You could do was repeat what Song Yan Ning had just told him.
The Great Elder looked towards Song Yan Ning. It was the first time he had heard of such a thing, yet the evidence right before his eyes forced him to believe.
Song Yanxue had exited the Emperor Realm and began searching for the secret book she had previously lost. After this mission, she was certain that there must be Cultivators in this world.
She did not know if the secret book she discarded was a Cultivation Method, but she was sure that it was no ordinary book. If that person could give her the Peace Pendant allowing direct access to the Middle and High-level System of the Emperor Realm, then the secret book must be equally extraordinary.
After a long search, Song Yanxue finally found the secret book in a corner.
Upon opening the secret book and carefully reading a few pages, Song Yanxue’s face revealed a happy smile. Just as she had suspected. Now with the qualifications to enter the Emperor Realm and possession of the Cultivation Secret Book, returning to the Song Family would be a breeze.
Thinking this, Song Yanxue glanced at the time and picked up the phone to make a call.
Yang Xin’er had just woken up and was preparing to wash up when her phone rang. She reached for the phone, saw the caller ID, and pressed the answer button. Why was Xiao Xue calling so early?
“Mom, I have some good news to tell you.”
“What’s the good news?” Yang Xin’er glanced at Song Yufeng, still asleep, then stepped out of the room.
“I can re-enter the Emperor Realm.”
“Really?” Yang Xin’er was surprised. The loss of her qualification to enter the Emperor Realm was the reason Song Yanxue had been expelled from the family. Now that she could re-enter the Emperor Realm, didn’t that mean she could return to the family? That was wonderful! Their family could finally be reunited.
“Mom, go find grandfather, I want to tell him the good news,” Song Yanxue said. She was worried that if she called her grandfather directly, he might not answer her call.
“Alright, just wait a moment,” Yang Xin’er said as she quickly walked downstairs.
Mr. Song was having breakfast and looked up in surprise as he saw Yang Xin’er rushing over excitedly.
“Dad, I have some good news for you,” Yang Xin’er said, exhilarated as she approached Mr. Song.
“What’s the good news?” Mr. Song put down his chopsticks and wiped his mouth with a napkin.
Yang Xin’er handed the phone to Mr. Song, “Better let Xiao Xue tell you herself.”
“Xiao Xue?” Mr. Song took the phone with puzzlement and brought it to his ear. Regardless of the news, he would not allow Xiao Xue back into the family, and even if he agreed, it would be futile without the consent of the rest of the family members.
“Grandpa! It’s Xiao Xue, I have some good news for you.”
“Hmm,” Mr. Song answered.
“I’ve secured a spot to enter the Emperor Realm, I can now re-enter the Emperor Realm. Grandpa, aren’t you happy?”
“Really? How did you obtain it?” Mr. Song asked, astounded. He had called in many favors for a chance at the Emperor Realm, yet he hadn’t been able to secure a spot.
“It was given to me by someone incredibly powerful; not only can I enter the Emperor Realm now, but I also have access to the Middle and High-level System of the Emperor Realm,” Song Yanxue said with pride.
“Very well,” Mr. Song nodded happily. Finally, someone from the Song Family was entering the Emperor Realm.
