Elder Lo and Mubarak exchanged a look as their expressions softened somewhat. They too never imagined that Ezra would actually end up rejecting Elder Sonk and Lopap's offer.
Lo's stern face was now much more relaxed than before. He was a rather inflexible and old-fashioned person by nature but treated his disciples with amazing earnesty. Hence, numerous disciples both respected and feared him in Alchemic Rune Peak.
He looked towards Mubarak who was the strongest disciple he had and asked, "What do you think?"
Mubarak nodded his head and said, "As the one who became the champion of the peak selection ceremony, he's naturally a good seedling."
Mubarak knew that Elder Lo had been brooding over the Lopap's shift to Alchemic Rune Peak. However, due to the repeated failures for so many years, Elder Lo could only accept the arrangements made by the sect master and the other hegemons.
Although Lo was strict and old-fashioned, he did give his all when it comes to his disciples. The only problem was that it was an exceedingly difficult task to find any good saplings to nurture in their Alchemic Rune Peak, hence why his disciples still found it hard to compete with the other peaks.
Now that a champion of the peak selection ceremony had at long last come their way, and had even declined to join Elder Sonk's faction, Mubarak knew that although Elder Lo appeared calm on the surface, his heart was surely churning with emotions.
Mubarak knew that Lo would never give up, and was definitely going to duke it out with Sonk.
"So I believe that it will be best for this young guy to join our ranks." Mubarak smiled.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtLo's eyebrows moved, but that face of his remained impassive. After some silence, he nodded to Mubarak.
Lo gazed at Ezra Zephyr and said in a slightly soft voice, "Since that's the case, you shall join us today, and I will earnestly guide you in the path of alchemy."
The prince bowed towards Elder Lo, as Lo watched, a smile finally surfaced on his stern face. With a wave of his hand, a flash of gold flew towards Ezra, turning into a golden belt.
Faint, complicated runes were etched onto the golden belt as it gave off a peculiar ripple that was actually able to gather the surrounding spiritual energy. It had clearly been inscribed with a spiritual energy-gathering rune and could be said to be a support-type spiritual treasure.
"As the champion of the peak selection ceremony, I have bestowed upon you a gold belt." A rarely heard kindness could be detected in Lo's voice.
"Thank you, Elder Lo."
Under the many envious gazes, the prince received the golden belt. He knew that he was now formally a gold belt disciple of Spirit Devouring Mountain's outer mountains.
As Ezra tied the gold belt around his waist, the complex and ancient runes on it glittered faintly, and the surrounding energy began to flow towards him strand by strand, ultimately slipping into his body.
The numerous surrounding disciples wore looks of envy as they watched. They knew that the gold belt was not merely a beneficial tool for cultivation, but also represented one's status and perks.
After wearing the gold sash, the prince moved to the side.
Now that they were done with Ezra, the remaining disciples began to make their choices, the majority followed Ezra to join Elder Lo's group.
After the allocation was done, perhaps because of Ezra Zephyr, the number of disciples that had joined Lo was roughly equal to Sonk, for the first time ever.
Thus, all the new disciples were split up into two groups.
Of the two factions, Elder Sonk had a large number of disciples, and he was indeed more of a playful and mischievous individual and did not have much interest in competing or grand aspirations.
Elder Lo, on the other hand, was very competitive. They had the least disciples, but Elder Sonk's disciples were clearly hard workers. Elder Sonk was after all from the Blood Slaughterer Peak, and the resources available to him were far greater than Elder Lo.
When they were done, Elder Sonk stood up to leave, with no intentions of discussing anything with Elder Lo
However, it was at this moment that the silent Lo suddenly spoke, "Please wait Elder Sonk."
Sonk's foot paused as he turned around, looked at Lo and said, "What is it, Elder Lo?"
Lo hesitated for a moment, before he said, "I hope to discuss the final Diamond Quarters of our Alchemic Rune Peak."
(NOTE: Purple Belt Disciples are changed to Diamond Belt Disciples.
The rank follows Silver Belt, Gold Belt, and Diamond Belt.)
Sonk's eyes narrowed slightly. Soon after, he seemingly smiled as he mockingly swept a glance at Ezra Zephyr and said, "Elder Lo is truly a lover of talent. To think that you would even plan on preparing Diamond Quarters for him.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHowever, does a new gold belt disciple like him deserve such treatment?"
The prince was slightly taken aback, somewhat surprised as he looked towards Lo.
During the few hours, he had gotten a basic understanding of the outer mountains. Every outer mountain disciple would be given a quarter, similar to the little houses of the unofficial outer mountain disciples.
However, this quarter was clearly even more precious than the little houses.
Every quarter was equipped with a spring of sorts from which an endless stream of pure spiritual energy would spout, making it extremely beneficial to one's martial prowess.
The quarters were also split into different ranks which were related to the disciple's status. From the lowest, the Silver Quarters, the Gold Quarters, and finally the highest rank Diamond Quarters.
Ordinarily speaking, only a diamond belt disciple could enjoy the luxury of a Diamond Quarters.
Hence, Ezra was rather surprised when he heard Lo intended to give him a Diamond Quarter.
"Fenrir, does Elder Lo has an aptitude in alchemy?" He asked his partner.
To which the wolf replied. "I have to see his talent first."
Ezra slightly nodded his head, and a wild thought appeared in his mind.
