Introducing Yourself

After passing the final examination and meeting Long Yijun and Elder Xuan, Yusri followed them out of the examination area through the portal and directly into the audience room with the other sect elders present.

"Where is this?" Yusri looked around at the unfamiliar scenery.

"This is a spectator room, where high-ranking sect elders can watch the disciple examination and see if there are talented participants they can accept as disciples." Long Yijun said.

"Hello, Daoist Yusri. Why don't you become my student? I can promise you that we will have a 'good' time together," one of the elders of the female sect, who had an adult and dazzling figure, suddenly said to Yusri with an alluring look, even blinked her bright eyes at him.

"How shameless are you, Elder Shan! Sect Master and Grand Elder were present, you know!" The other sect elders quickly scolded him.

"Then what? It's not like they don't know my character yet." Elder Shan shrugged, and he continued, "In addition, someone as talented as Yusri... I would do anything to make him my disciple..."

Elder Shan glared at Yusri with a hungry expression on her beautiful face, almost like a predator before her prey.

Yusri gulped nervously when he saw this, as he had never been looked at with such a cold gaze before.

"You scared him, Elder Shan." Elder Xuan said to him, and he continued, "I know you all want him to be your student, but we can talk about it later. For now, let's make sure he's comfortable and understands the situation we're in."

Some time later, Yusri sat with the others sitting around him.

"For starters, let's introduce ourselves." Long Yijun said. "Again, I am Long Yijun, the current Sect Master of the Dragon Essence Temple."

Elder Xuan went next and said, "I am one of the three Grandfathers, Xuan Zan."

The adult female elder then said, "Price Shan— Shan Shang, and I am in charge of the Core Disciple. If you ever feel lonely or bored, come look for me, okay, Daoist Yusri? I'll cheer you up."

"..."

After a moment of awkward silence, the next elder in the room spoke, "Xin Ming, and I are also in charge of the Core Disciple with Elder Shan."

"Bai Ling, and I are in charge of the Discipline Hall. If you ever run into trouble, whether it be with another disciple or an elder of the sect, you can come looking for me."

Long Yijun then said, "There are a few more sect elders who have seen your appearance from this place, but they have to leave early for other tasks. Do you want to introduce yourself? Brief introduction about yourself and a little about why you decided to join our Dragon Essence Temple."

Yusri nodded and took off his black jade mask, revealing to them his handsome and young face.

Yusri tried his best to ignore the strange woman and said, "My name is Yusri, and I am 18 years old. I have just become a Cultivator and I want to learn more about the cultivation world, so I came to the Dragon Essence Temple to broaden my outlook!"

"..."

To Yusri's surprise, no one there responded to him, and they all stared at him with wide eyes filled with shock.

"Y-You're only 18? And you just became a Cultivator? How recently were we talking about? A few years ago?" Long Yijun was the first to come out of his daze and ask Yusri.

"No, I became a Cultivator just a few weeks ago," Yusri replied with an innocent expression on his face.

"A FEW WEEKS AGO?!"

Everyone in the room simultaneously exclaimed in a shocked voice with one of them even breaking his chair and falling to the floor.

"Where are you from? If you don't mind, can you tell us your background? Which family are you from? I can promise you that it won't leave this room, and no matter where you come from, we don't treat you differently - I swear as the Sect Master of the Dragon Essence Temple!" Long Yijun asked in a nervous voice.

"Why does everyone think I come from a strong family?" Yusri responded in confusion, and he continued, "I don't belong to a strong family."

"How is that possible? What about your parents? They must be strong Cultivators, right?" Elder Xuan asked him next.

"No, my parents are not Cultivators. They are musicians" Yusri said. Since he had no family in this world, he told them about his family in the real world.

"What?! Your parents are human?! And they gave birth to cultivation miracles like you?! What does Heaven think?!" Long Yijuan shouted loudly.

It was as if Heaven created a cultivation miracle like Yusri just to mess with every Cultivator in the world. Not only was Yusri of the same background and human family, but he possessed a talent that surpassed even the Founder of the Dragon Essence Temple, who was once recognized as the number one expert in the entire Lower Heaven! If this did not spit on the face of every Cultivator, especially those born from powerful families, then what was it?

"If what you say is true, and I don't mean to doubt you, then we have a serious problem," Long Yijun spoke a moment later with a serious expression on his face.

The other sect elders also nodded their heads with grim gazes on their faces, instantly making the atmosphere heavy.

"Eh? Why is it a problem that I'm not from a strong family?" Yusri asked, still unaware of the situation he was in.

"Well, put simply, there will be a lot of people who will envy your talents, and because you don't have a strong family supporting you, there will be nothing stopping these people from trying to harm you - destroying you before you can grow too strong," Long Yijun told him.
