The elder on the dais spoke in a gentle voice.
Qin Fang bowed slightly and sat back down.
He could feel waves of burning, curious, probing gazes on his back… All he could do was sigh softly.
'Whose fault was it but my own for coming out dressed in these flashy True Inheritance robes?'
"Nephew Qin, you must have broken through to the next realm only recently, yes? It's been two days since you entered the Sect. Have you selected your True Essence Root Technique?"
Surprisingly, the elder didn't resume his lecture. Instead, he began to chat amicably with Qin Fang.
Qin Fang's scalp tingled with apprehension, but he took a deep breath and answered respectfully, "I chose my True Essence Root Technique yesterday."
"Oh? Let's see… Huh?!"
At first, the elder was still smiling. As he spoke, a spiritual light flickered in his eyes, but once it faded, the gentle expression on his face vanished, replaced by sheer astonishment.
