No one would choose a magic treasure that is completely useless to them.
The Mysterious Moon Pipa doesn't seem like a treasure of the Joyful Sect. Last time Jiang Feng borrowed a magic treasure from Ying Ling because it could be activated simply by inciting spiritual energy. Although its effect was not obvious, it could at least affect people's minds.
However, the pipa in front of him was different. Such a specialized magic treasure emphasized the word 'harmony'. Strumming it randomly couldn't activate this item. Unless one was sufficiently skilled in music, this pipa of excellent quality would only serve as a fire poker.
It might not even be as useful as a fire poker.
"Lao Gu, you were first in this grand martial arts meeting, so you should choose first. After you pick, we'll follow in order, and it will be up to you to maintain order."
Chen Shan stepped back without any concealment and started discussing it directly. This idea made everyone present nod. After all, the rules were set long ago, and everyone agreed to them before deciding to enter.
"Since everyone trusts me, then I shall be impolite."
After some back-and-forth, he was the first to make a selection.
There's no choice; he was the legitimate first place this time.
Gu Yuanshan just looked at the dazzling treasures placed in front, scanned around, and glanced at the colorful teacup on the far left, which emitted a gentle and smooth glow, and then his eyes lit up immediately.
These treasures were personally selected from the collections by the Elders and Peak Masters. Every disciple with decent strength certainly had something suitable, but when these seniors prepared the prizes, they naturally wouldn't inform the disciples, letting them choose freely.
Slightly touching and carefully comprehending, there was a brief encounter during the opening ceremony of the martial arts meeting, and at that time, he vaguely felt that he was destined for this artifact.
He immersed his divine sense entirely into this exquisitely crafted teacup, meticulously sensing it. The Glazed True Fire and the might within it were striking, especially as this Pure Fire Colored Glaze Lamp complemented his Purple Gold Alms Bowl.
His eyes lit up, and he immediately held it in his hand; a colorless and invisible flame instantly lifted off the cup lid, encircling him. With just a slight incitement, he could feel the temperature inside the Gathering Yuan Pavilion rising.
Left hand grasp!
The invisible flame vanished immediately, shrinking back into the cup. At the same time, even the excess temperature in the air was swept in at this moment, an impeccable control of spiritual energy with one hand.
"Elder Shanyuan, may the disciple take this item? This Pure Fire Colored Glaze Lamp is genuinely a supreme-grade item, apt to be the most suitable magic treasure for me."
His face revealed undisguisable excitement.
Although he had already predicted, holding it in his hand still felt quite thrilling.
He did not lack high-level magical treasures, but the issue was one is a master sect inheritance, and the other relies on his effort.
The magic treasure passed on by his junior sister was inherited according to the sect's rules after he broke through to the Nascent Soul Stage. The Purple Gold Alms Bowl in his hand was acquired through this, but there's a drawback to such inherited magic treasures.
They do not necessarily match his current realm.
Those used by the elders were mostly possessions of unparalleled experts, typically in the Body Integration Realm or higher. How could someone in the Nascent Soul Stage unleash their power?
But this Pure Fire Colored Glaze Lamp before him seemed tailor-made for him, and although he still couldn't wield all its might at the Nascent Soul Stage, displaying just half its power would suffice for him to navigate seamlessly among cultivators of the same realm.
"Of course, you can take it, make your choices wisely."
"Yes, then it shall be this item."
Without any hesitation.
With a wave of his hand, the glow on the colored glaze lamp vanished. Every treasure had a seal placed upon it. Disciples, while able to activate them on the spot, could not take them out of the sect with malicious intent due to the divine sense left by the elders above.
As the white light disappeared, this Pure Fire Colored Glaze Lamp finally found its new owner after many years. Even the teacup and lid trembled slightly, as if in delight.
Simultaneously, as the white light vanished, a snippet of unfamiliar memory poured into his mind, depicting the processes by which a sect elder successfully brought this treasure out of the Cave Heaven Secret Realm. It was the last divine sense residue held within by the elder, and at this moment, a successful connection was made across generations.
"I promise not to let you down,"
Speaking to the magic treasure in his hand solemnly, before tucking it into his Qiankun Bag, then turning around with a smile to maintain order.
"Second elder, it's your turn."
"You little brat, getting cocky over acquiring a magic treasure, huh?"
"It's not my fault if you're not proactive. Hurry up, come up and pick."
Just by looking at the expression, it was clear that Gu Miyun was in a very good mood now. Although Chen Shan felt a bit annoyed, he still stepped forward actively, just as Gu Miyun did earlier.
Sensing, selecting, trying to communicate through the divine soul, for magic treasures of this level often start to gain a faint spiritual intelligence, not lifeless objects, and the longer they are nurtured, the more their spiritual intelligence resembles human characteristics.
It is said that some heaven rank and immortal grade treasures no longer appear as magic items and can even transform into human form, battling alongside their owners. It took Chen Shan a little while before choosing his magic treasure.
It was an Everbright Lock.
Everything moved in an orderly fashion, with one person stepping forward to choose one by one. Those standing behind weren't urging anyone. All seated were people with extraordinary talents, understanding the importance of a treasure to themselves, so they were prudent when making their choices.
Some picked divine weapons, some chose high-rank Daoist skills, others opted for elixirs, and even a senior brother from Chi Xiao Peak rushed up with no hesitation, not even asking, just grabbing a nondescript piece of ore in a corner and dashing out.
Well, for people from Chi Xiao Peak, no magic treasure compares to the oddly colored iron ore he just grabbed and ran with.
But uniquely...
That Mysterious Moon Pipa was left unchosen.
Standing before this pile of treasures, someone unwittingly fell into contemplation.
It was now his turn to choose. Those who finished have naturally left, presumably already back at the mountain gate, savoring their prizes.
A new batch of disciples had already entered behind, including Liang Yu and Yun Xiyin, with Liang Yu ranked nineteenth and Yun Xiyin seventeenth this time.
Initially, many questioned Jiang Feng's means of winning, thinking his strength was still far behind Yun Xiyin's, and it was only because he wielded a magic treasure that restrained her, he won.
Even Yun Xiyin harbored a slight hint of this thought. However, this notion vanished entirely after witnessing Jiang Feng's battle with Gu Miyun. From then on, she was convinced.
Although this chief disciple from Yuzhu Peak was defeated, her strength was apparent to all, earning her a rank just below the sixteenth. Her hard power would definitely place her at least in the top ten.
"Hmm... How should I choose?"
Jiang Feng found it difficult.
He looked to the left, glanced to the right, and finally at the middle.
They consist of the Heavenly Clarity and Serenity True Technique, the Mysterious Moon Pipa, and...
"Senior brother, why have you been eyeing the Purple Cloud Cloud Whip? Though it's of good quality, you're not adept at whip techniques, are you?"
A familiar voice reached his ears.
It was Liang Yu.
As a top-twenty disciple, he was among the second batch to enter the Gathering Yuan Pavilion. Lin Jiangxian had ranked beyond forty because he lasted one less round than her, thus hadn't entered the hall yet.
Seemingly aware of her senior brother's hesitation, she spoke in a soft, low voice.
"Senior brother, why hesitate? Weren't you planning to take the Heavenly Clarity and Serenity True Technique, or do you fancy multiple treasures?"
As his junior sister, she naturally understood his senior brother's thoughts. Nodding subtly, she continued.
"What else does senior brother fancy?"
"Two items, the Mysterious Moon Pipa and this whip."
"You..."
She opened her mouth, speechless.
Letting you in to choose a treasure, yet you set your sights on three items alone?
Despite nestled in doubt, she quietly asked.
"Senior brother, I can help you take one, but the pipa and whip—neither would be of use to you."
"Not for me, remember? The one on the mountain who's always wheeling around..."
