“Brother Jin, I said long ago that I am by no means an ordinary spirit bone.”
　　The youth in fine clothes also opened his eyes at this time. After seeing the change of the Dragon Pearl, he also had a look of pride on his face.
　　In response, Xu Taiping showed great calmness, without envy or jealousy.
　　Lin Buyu beside him was the same.
　　“Little guy, what’s your name？”
　　While taking back the Dragon Pearl, Elder Black Dragon asked the proud youth in fine clothes.
　　“I am the ninth prince of Tianlang Country, with the surname Ye and the name Xuan. Since I was a child…”
　　“Alright, go to the side.”
　　Before the youth could finish speaking, Elder Black Dragon waved his hand to make him step back, as if he didn’t like his proud personality.
　　Although Ye Xuan was a little displeased, he didn’t dare to say much and could only walk resentfully to the side of Jin Hezhi.
　　“You,　come　on.”
　　At this time, Elder Black Dragon pointed at Lin Buyu.
　　Lin Buyu nodded, then walked forward with small steps and put a small hand on the Dragon Pearl.
　　Seeing this scene, Zi Yan of the Sixth Peak felt a tightness in her heart.
　　Although the Spirit Bone Tablet rarely “misjudges”, there is always a one in ten thousand chance. After all, the cultivation achievements of cultivators with Gold Spirit Bones and Mysterious Spirit Bones in the future are not a little bit different, not to mention that there are also differences in the grades of spirit bones.
　　So it is impossible for Zi Yan not to be nervous.
　　“Buzz…”
With another slight buzzing sound, the dragon pearl in the hand of Elder Heilong shone with golden light again. But the difference was that the flame Winding in the dragon pearl this time became crackling electric sparks.
　　“It’s a thunder anomalous bone, and it’s a golden spiritual bone-level thunder anomalous bone！”
　　After seeing this scene, even the originally very reserved Fairy Ziyan couldn’t help but exclaim at this time.
　　“Congratulations, Junior Sister Ziyan. A golden spiritual bone-level thunder anomalous bone hasn’t appeared in our Qingxuan Sect for hundreds of years.”
　　“Senior Sister Ziyan, Liufeng has picked up such a big treasure. Be sure to invite us to have a good meal at Zuixianju later.”
　　Qingxiao and Linglong immediately stepped forward to congratulate.
　　“Junior Sister Ziyan, congratulations.”
　　That Jin Hezhi also reluctantly stepped forward and said congratulations.
　　“Hahaha……”
At this time the usually Elder Heilong also suddenly laughed heartily and the sound shook the main hall for a while.
　　“One thunder and one fire, and both are golden spiritual bones. Our Qingxuan Sect has hope of rejuvenation！”
　　Elder Heilong laughed and said.
　　Xu Taiping, who took all this into his eyes, still had no waves in his heart. It was only when Lin Buyu walked past him that he whispered： “Congratulations to you, Sister Buyu.”
　　Lin Buyu turned her head to look at Xu Taiping, then nodded and said： “Thank you.”
　　Both of them had the kind of disposition that remained calm in the face of honor or disgrace, but Lin Buyu seemed to be even more composed.
　　“Little guy, it’s your turn.”
　　At this time, the voice of Elder Black Dragon sounded again.
　　Hearing this, Xu Taiping raised his head and saw that Elder Black Dragon’s vertical pupils were staring at him full of anticipation.
Beside him, Qing Xiao and Linglong suddenly became nervous at this time, and their eyes also looked at Xu Taiping.
　　“Yes.”
　　After looking at Elder Black Dragon for a moment, Xu Taiping nodded calmly with a calm expression.
　　Then, under the gaze of everyone, Xu Taiping placed his hand on the dragon ball in Elder Black Dragon’s hand and then began to close his eyes and concentrate.
　　“Weng…”
　　After feeling a warm force gradually wrapping himself, not long after, he felt the dragon ball in his hand trembling.
　　Xu Taiping opened his eyes and saw that the original transparent dragon ball had now turned pale white, very much like the color of the withered bones of a wild beast abandoned on the roadside.
　　“Sure enough.”
　　Xu Taiping muttered to himself in his heart.
　　His guess was correct. Although the pill left to him by his grandfather could make his name appear on the immortal register, it could not make him a real spiritual bone.
　　“White…　white　bones？”
　　Looking at the dragon ball in the color of white bones, Senior Sister Zhao Linglong’s eyes were full of disbelief.
　　Although Qingxiao beside didn’t speak, it could be seen from his expression that the surprise in his heart was no less than that of Zhao Linglong.
　　“The Spirit Bone Monument actually picked out a skeleton. The luck of your Seventh Peak is still as bad as ever.”
　　After seeing this scene, Jin Hezhi of the First Peak suddenly laughed again and then said with a sarcastic tone.
　　“You！”
　　“Junior Sister.”
　　Hearing this, Zhao Linglong was about to open her mouth to argue, but was stopped by Qingxiao beside her.
　　“Elder Black Dragon, can you measure it again？”
　　Qingxiao asked Elder Black Dragon.
　　“Qingxiao, you should be very clear that this bead of mine will not make mistakes.”
　　Elder Black Dragon took back the Dragon Pearl and said in a majestic tone.
　　“Alas……”
　　Upon hearing this, Qingxiao let out a long sigh.
　　“Zi Yan, Hezhi, you two take the little brat up the mountain. There’s nothing for you here anymore.”
　　Elder Black Dragon looked up at Zi Yan and Jin Hezhi.
　　“Elder Black Dragon, Junior Brother Qingxiao, Junior Sister Linglong, goodbye.”
　　Jin Hezhi smiled and took the hand of Ye Xuan beside him and turned to leave.
　　“Senior Brother Jin, our Qingxuan Sect won’t accept even a skeleton, right？”
　　“This kind of waste, anyway, our First Peak won’t accept it.”
　　The voices of the two people came from the door, making Qingxiao and Linglong furious, but they had no choice but to endure it.
　　Ziyan knew that the two of them were in a bad mood, so she didn’t say anything and left with Lin Buyu.
　　After several people left, Elder Heilong reopened his eyes.
　　“Bai Gu is not qualified to become a disciple of the Seven Peaks. You can either stay at the foot of the mountain and become an unregistered disciple to temper for three years and challenge the selection of the Seven Peaks three years later, or go down the mountain immediately.”
　　He looked at Xu Taiping, who was standing there without saying a word.
　　Obviously, this was to let Xu Taiping make a choice.
　　“Taiping…”
　　“Let him decide for himself.”
　　Linglong on the side seemed to want to remind Xu Taiping of something, but was interrupted by Elder Heilong.
　　Hearing this, Linglong sensibly closed her mouth and didn’t speak anymore.
　　“If I can pass the selection of the Seven Peaks, can I still worship under the Seventh Peak and become the younger brother of Sister Linglong and Brother Qingxiao？”
　　Xu Taiping didn’t answer Elder Heilong immediately, but turned around and looked at Qingxiao and Linglong.
　　“This, I can guarantee to the master for you. If you can pass the selection, the door of the Seventh Peak will definitely be open for you.”
　　Qingxiao said with a serious face.
　　He was actually a little guilty for not being able to bring Xu Taiping up the mountain.
　　“Taiping, it would be good if you could pass the selection, but it’s too difficult.”
　　Linglong shook her head at Xu Taiping worriedly.
　　Xu Taiping smiled at Linglong, and then turned to look at the Black Dragon Elder and said：
　　“Elder, I want to stay at the foot of the mountain and temper myself for three years.”
　　Xu Taiping would not break the promise he made to his grandfather.
　　Seeing that Xu Taiping had made a decision, the Black Dragon Elder nodded indifferently, and then took out a jade slip and handed it to Xu Taiping, saying：
　　“Take this jade slip, and someone will take you down the mountain to settle down and explain to you the matters that need attention next.”
　　“Thank　you,　Elder.”
　　Xu Taiping took the jade slip.
　　“Black Dragon Elder, this child was brought up the mountain by me, so let me take him down the mountain to settle him.”
　　Linglong took a step forward and made a request to the Black Dragon Elder.
“Disciples of the Seven Peaks are not allowed to go down the mountain at will and not allowed to interfere in matters at the foot of the mountain. However… seeing that this child was led up the mountain by you, I will make an exception this time.
The Black Dragon Elder pondered for a moment, and then slowly nodded, indicating tacitly.
　　“Thank you, Black Dragon Elder！”
　　Linglong, who had obtained permission, was overjoyed.
　　“You can’t stay at the foot of the peak for more than two hours, and don’t play any tricks. I don’t care about the things on the Seven Peaks, but the things at the foot of the Seven Peaks, even if a single blade of grass or a single tree is broken, it won’t escape my induction.”
　　The Black Dragon Elder warned Zhao Linglong.
　　“Don’t worry, Elder. I promise you that I will never do anything unnecessary.”
　　Revealed by the Black Dragon Elder, Linglong stuck out her tongue and then promised with a squint and a smile.
　　……
　　A　moment　later.
　　In front of the Dragon Gate Hall.
　　“Junior Sister, I have to report the matter here to Master. Taiping is in your hands. You must arrange everything for him. After all, it will be difficult for us to come down the mountain to find him in the future.”
　　Qingxiao　instructed　Linglong.
　　“Senior Brother, don’t worry. I will definitely arrange it properly.”
　　Linglong　promised　Qingxiao.
　　Qingxiao nodded, then jumped up, stepped on a jade flute under his feet, and his figure broke through the air like a stream of light.
　　“Come on, Taiping. Let’s go to register first, and then help you find a good place at the foot of the mountain where you can earn merit and cultivate at the same time.”
　　Linglong patted Taiping’s shoulder and smiled.
　　“Earn merit？”
Xu Taiping was a little puzzled by this word.
　　“That’s right.”
　　Linglong sighed and then explained to Xu Taiping：
　　“The outer disciples at the foot of Qingxuan Mountain have to earn merit every year. Only by earning enough merit can they continue to stay in Qingxuan Sect, otherwise they will be driven out of the mountain.”
　　“Then how can one earn merit？”
　　Xu Taiping then asked.
　　“Every outer sect disciple, after being registered, can obtain a courtyard house, several mu of immortal fields or medicine gardens. Cattle and pigs can be raised in the courtyard house, and immortal grains, rice or herbal medicines can be planted in the immortal fields. When they mature, they can be sold to exchange for merit money.”
　　Linglong very carefully introduced to Xu Taiping.
　　“Thank you, Sister Linglong. I understand. This merit is like the silver in our mundane world.”
　　Xu Taiping nodded upon hearing this.
　　“You can say that.”
　　Linglong smiled, and then took Xu Taiping’s hand and said：
　　“Let’s go, Taiping. First, we’ll go to the Xifeng Pavilion to get registered, and then see if there is anything suitable for you to do.”
