Chapter 453 - Special Constitutions

The Blood Transformation Palace Master’s reply quickly arrived. Overall, there were three statements.

The first line: It’s good that you’ve returned unharmed. I will specially bestow a million spirit crystals for this apprentice to settle down his family.

The second line: Special constitutions generally belong to the recruited disciples who directly enter the inner sect. So long as there aren’t any problems with their character and origins, they’ll be accepted no matter the number. If their constitutions are suitable, they can immediately become palace hall disciples.

The third line: This teacher believes that the people this apprentice recommends will certainly have no problems. They’ll be recruited after testing.

As soon as these three lines came out, everyone present realized just how much Gongyi Tianheng’s master, the Blood Transformation Palace Master, favored him. Not to mention anything else, just the cost of settling down his family was enough to get the point across. What’s more, the degree of trust was truly exceptional.

Gu Zuo inwardly chuckled.

Actually, he felt that there was indeed a degree of trust, but the cost of settling down big brother’s family... Perhaps, other disciples were also given this gift, but it probably wouldn’t have been this much.

After getting this letter of approval, Xi Yangyun no longer hesitated. He took the initiative to broach the subject with Tianheng: “Can my younger sister join Ten Ultimates Sect, too?”

Tianheng smiled and said: “Senior Sect Brother Xi, if you’re interested, just let Young Lady Xi give it a try. My Ten Ultimates Sect possesses ten heaven-ranked ultimate skills. There should be a palace hall that suits Young Lady Xi.”

Xi Yangyun naturally hoped that his family’s younger sister could enter this silver-ranked organization — As for gold-ranked organizations, were those places so easy to get in? Even if it was this silver-ranked organization, if he wasn’t familiar with Tianheng, it probably wouldn’t have been easy to find a way inside under normal circumstances.

Besides, deep down in Xi Yangyun’s heart, he still believed in Tianheng’s choice. After all, he had once looked into Tianheng’s actions and methods. Tianheng had deep plans and distant thoughts, and practically never suffered any setbacks.

Shortly thereafter, Tianheng looked at Huang Ji and Ling Ziwei again: “Senior Sect Brother Huang, Young Lady Ling. What do you two think?”

Huang Ji nodded his head to express his agreement.

Meanwhile, Ling Ziwei somewhat shyly glanced at Tianyang: “I’ll listen to Big Brother Gongyi’s words.”

Gu Zuo couldn’t help but smile.

Perhaps, after another length of time had passed, she could drop the two syllables “Gongyi”.

Following this, Xi Yangyun and the others checked into their guest rooms under the arrangements of the two managers. As for the remaining Gongyi Yan and the other close relatives, they were arranged somewhere else.

Gongyi Zhuoyue patted Tianheng’s shoulder: “Tianheng, it’s better that we go down the mountain, and stay with the other children. All of them are quite young. Without any elders on the side to give them pointers, they’re nothing more than newcomers. Their hearts won’t be steady.”

Gongyi Yan and Liu Suyan felt the same way.

Tianheng said: “Since they’ve arrived, they’ll need some time to adapt. Grandfather, all of you are this Tianheng’s next of kin. Naturally, there’s no need to cohabitate with the other clan members.”

Gongyi Yan had a clear and bright smile: “This father knows that you’re filial, but everything has its rules. We also have our own responsibilities!”

They didn’t come over just to hold Tianheng back. When it came to the arrangements of the younger generations and the development of the Gongyi Clan here, plans needed to be put forward for all of these things. How was it proper if someone stayed with their son all day long? Moreover, it was simply too garish and conspicuous.

Listening to this, Gu Zuo wanted to persuade them.

However, Tianheng faintly pressed onto his shoulder. After pondering for a bit, he answered: “This Tianheng understands everyone’s feelings... Very well. You all can go settle down in the courtyard below, and stabilize those clan members. If you have any plans, you can mull over them first. After staying for a few days, I’ll also have some arrangements for the clan members. I’ll think about the details, and discuss them with everyone at that time.”

Of course, having heard what was said, Gongyi Yan and the others smilingly agreed.

Tianyang and Mingxia also followed the others down. Then, there was just Tianteng. With a stern and serious face, he walked over with quick steps and hugged Tianheng’s leg. Then, he turned around and hugged Gu Zuo’s leg.

Gu Zuo felt this was cute, and stooped down to hug Tianteng.

After that, under the smiling gazes of everyone, Tianteng steadily strode down the mountain together with his parents, grandfather, older siblings, and the others.

Gu Zuo and Tianheng also returned to their residence at the top of the mountain. In the subsequent period of time, they had a lot of things to do one by one.

The next day, early in the morning.

Xi Yangyun, Xi Shuangyun, Ling Ziwei, Ling Ziqi, Huang Ji, and the others arrived at the location that Gongyi Tianheng designated. What they currently needed to do was to follow at Tianheng’s side, and test their constitutions.

Of course, Xi Yangyun and Ling Ziqi weren’t able to follow along. Only those with special constitutions could get this kind of additional treatment.

Tianheng had a smile on his face, and summoned a wild bird, which carried the three prospects high into the sky. Then, it went straight to the Martial Arts Practice Hall.

Gu Zuo was left behind to accompany Xi Yangyun and Ling Ziqi. He was going to deal with the matters that Tianheng hadn’t completely finished.

Not long after, the group came to the Martial Arts Practice Hall.

As the name implied, this palace hall was where ordinary disciples practiced and trained. Special equipment was set up inside to simulate different environments. This equipment could also test a disciple’s strength. As a result, even though many disciples had their own base of operations, they still came to this Martial Arts Practice Venue to gain a precise understanding of themselves every so often.

Another major feature of the Martial Arts Practice Venue was that disciples in the sect could go over to test their aptitudes no matter the time of day. Thus, for any elders, upper echelons, or outstanding disciples who discovered a good seedling outside the sect, the seedling was usually brought to this place for testing if they possessed the qualifications to make an exception.

Today, there were people coming and going inside the Martial Arts Practice Venue. In several side halls, there were many who were in the middle of sparring and competing. There were also those who continuously contemplated the murals on the palace hall’s walls. In short, it was a scene of bustling activity.

All of a sudden, four people walked in through the entrance. There was one man and three women. The man had an outstanding demeanor and handsome complexion. Meanwhile, though the women had different temperaments, each one of them was a rarely-seen beauty.

Just as they entered, they attracted many lines of sight.

Tianheng walked into the main hall. Arranged in this place were several pillars as well as a giant jade annulus. Among these things, those pillars could test a martial artist’s aptitude, and the annulus examined whether a martial artist truly had a special constitution. The results of the measurements were considered quite accurate.

Next to a pillar, a man who appeared to be in his thirties was keeping watch. At this moment, he seemed to have heard the sound of footsteps. He lifted his head, and saw people approaching: “You guys are coming over to test?” Then, his line of sight swept over Tianheng, “As it turns out, the all-star prodigy has arrived. This is too high an honor.”

Tianheng smiled: “These three are newly-discovered seedlings. Because of their special constitutions, we came to get them tested.”

That man’s interest was piqued: “All three of them have special constitutions?”

Tianheng nodded his head: “Precisely.”

The man smiled, and stood up. Then, he made way for the jade annulus, and repeatedly said: “Come, come, come! These three junior sisters can measure their constitutions first!”

Tianheng stepped to the side. Shortly after that, he gestured at Huang Ji: “Senior Sect Brother Huang, could I trouble you to lead the charge for these two young ladies?”

Huang Ji was relatively considerate when it came to delicate and pretty girls. He nodded right away, and took the initiative to walk over: “How is everything measured?”

That man said: “To measure your potential and aptitude, you have to strike those pillars. As for measuring your constitution... Either extract a drop of blood and smear it onto the jade annulus, or inject your internal qi into the center of the annulus. Having a special constitution is enough to cause the artifact to undergo a change.”

Huang Ji listened to these methods, but didn’t say anything. He arrived in front of the jade annulus, pressed a palm against the artifact, and imbued his profound qi in rolling surges.

In an instant, the surface of the jade annulus blossomed with glittering rays of light. The colors were changing from light to dark. Within a breath of time, it shifted from light-green to dark-red, and from dark-red to deep-purple.

Once the jade annulus finished shining, Huang Ji withdrew his hand.

The man’s eyes were bright: “So it’s actually a high-grade special constitution? Indeed, this aptitude is pretty good!”

Tianheng faintly nodded his head.

After getting the result, Huang Ji still didn’t say anything. Meanwhile, Ling Ziwei and Xi Shuangyun felt somewhat nervous in their hearts. They didn’t know what kind of grades their own constitutions would be.

At this time, the man was already a little impatient: “These two junior sisters have also come to measure?”

Xi Shuangyun and Ling Ziwei exchanged glances.

Ling Ziwei went to test first — In actuality, although her status was undetermined, she was currently regarded as half a member of the Gongyi Clan. Naturally, she had more advantages.

When Ling Ziwei injected her profound qi into the jade annulus, the artifact similarly began to shine. It was just that, this time around, the color of the radiance remained a deep-red. Even though it vaguely appeared that several rays of light were about to turn a deep-purple, when all was said and done, there wasn’t any true change. In the end, it was only this color and luster.

Ling Ziwei was somewhat disappointed, but she quickly straightened out her mood, and went to listen to that man’s verdict.

The man said: “Congratulations, you also have a special constitution. It’s an above average constitution.”

Following that, it was Xi Shuangyun’s turn.

Once she injected her own internal qi, the reaction of that jade annulus was exactly the same as when Ling Ziwei imbued her qi. It was a dark-red that was approaching purple. She likewise had an above average constitution.

Each of the three women had aptitudes that were out of the ordinary. This would cause people to feel admiration in their hearts.

Upon seeing this, Tianheng also felt rather pleased.

For those who possessed special constitutions of these two grades, so long as they didn’t perform too poorly when testing their innate talents, the three of them could enter Ten Ultimates Sect. Moreover, the probability of directly entering the inner sect and becoming palace hall disciples was much greater.

While Xi Shuangyun and Ling Ziwei were slightly embarrassed, Tianheng suddenly had a thought... If his little pharmacist was also here, Ah Zuo might’ve wondered which grade of special constitution his own Tiandu Body was considered!

T/N: For the last scene in this chapter, the point of view is being told from the perspective of the onlookers. Thus, Huang Ji’s gender is narrated as female, even though he identifies as male.

Thanks for the correction, Charysa.
