After the two sides reached an agreement, Samuel Hanson left excitedly.
"Master, what’s the situation now?"
Isaiah Bell hurried in after seeing off Samuel Hanson, now most concerned about Peter Brown’s relationship with the River Mountain Sect.
With a faint smile, Peter Brown said, "Didn’t Rylan Fox die? From now on, I will be the elder of the River Mountain Sect in his place."
"What?" Isaiah Bell was dumbfounded. He never thought Peter Brown would become an elder of a sect just like that.
All this time, sect elders were a group of high-ranking people, but Peter Brown was only at the Qi Refining First Layer, after all!
However, when he thought about Peter Brown being able to kill a Golden Core Pinnacle Level expert, Isaiah Bell guessed that Peter must be hiding his true cultivation.
Thinking that he could be with such a master, Isaiah Bell felt a surge of energy throughout his entire body.
"That’s great, Master. I’ll go tell everyone."
Seeing Isaiah Bell’s excited look, Peter Brown was also happy. It was a good thing that the matter with the River Mountain Sect was resolved . In this way, he finally had a foundation in the cultivation world.
When Peter Brown arrived at the River Mountain Sect, he secretly summoned the protective Ruyi Furnace inside his body. After arriving in such a place, Peter still seemed cautious.
However, it was evident that Peter Brown was overthinking. The River Mountain Sect took his eldership appointment very seriously, and even a grand ceremony for the promotion of an elder had been prepared.
Under the witness of River Mountain Sect disciples, Peter Brown was officially conferred the position of an elder.
With this formal appointment, Peter Brown truly became an elder of the River Mountain Sect.
After the ceremony, Peter Brown paid respects to Sect Master Robert Lee.
Robert Lee was the sect master of the River Mountain Sect, but he was not the highest in cultivation. It was said that a Nascent Soul Stage Great Elder was in closed-door cultivation, and Robert Lee was merely a Golden Core Pinnacle Level expert, comparable to Samuel Hanson’s father, Will Hanson.
At a glance, Peter Brown saw ten Golden Core Middle Stage and above experts who had become elders in the River Mountain Sect, sitting cross-legged.
As Peter Brown entered, everyone stood up to welcome his arrival.
However, Peter Brown noticed that a few people still had unfriendly gazes towards him.
"Elder Wang, please sit."
Robert Lee was a friendly person and smiled as he invited Peter Brown to sit down.
It was evident that the elders were full of curiosity about Peter Brown, with everyone’s eyes on him.
Looking at everyone’s gazes, Peter Brown appeared calm and said, "I hope you all can take care of me. Please point out any mistakes."
Seeing Peter Brown being so amicable, Robert Lee’s face showed even more smiles, "We are aware of your issue with the Turner family. It’s not your fault but the Turner family’s unreasonableness. Our sect will punish the Turner family. We hope Elder Wang will focus on the big picture and work more for the sect in the future."
Clearly showing an unfriendly gaze towards Peter Brown, an elder named Jael said, "I, Jael, have no direct connections with the Turner family. However, it’s possible that we were a family five thousand years ago."
Peter Brown was somewhat speechless when he heard Jael say this.
Jael looked at Peter Brown and said, "Since you have also become an elder of our sect, can you tell us your true cultivation and the magic treasure you use?"
Peter Brown glanced at everyone and asked, "Does everyone who joins a sect have to report all their information to the sect?"
In the cultivation world, this kind of thing was taboo. No one would question others about their situation. Jael obviously had some bullying intentions.
At this moment, Will Hanson said in a deep voice, "Elder Yu, cultivators have their own privacy. I’m sure you have many secrets you haven’t talked about, too. If Elder Wang wants to talk, he’ll naturally talk. Your request is overboard."
"Hmph, the elders are at least Golden Core Middle Stage, right? Although the minority obeys the majority and the sect has acknowledged Peter Brown’s elder position, for the sake of the sect’s power, I still want to ask how a Qi Refining First Layer person can be our sect’s elder."
As he spoke, he glared at Peter Brown with a provocative look.
Peter Brown didn’t know how he had offended this person. His face darkened, knowing that his deterrent power wasn’t enough, he said solemnly, "What do I rely on? I rely on the fact that I can kill Rylan Fox and that I can kill people like you with one finger!"
"What did you say?" Jael jumped up on the spot, not expecting Peter Brown to say such a thing.
Peter Brown stood up, too, and said, "Do you want to try?"
Seeing Peter Brown stand up and show a powerful aura, and thinking about how Rylan Fox was killed by Peter Brown with one finger, Jael hesitated and then snorted as he sat down, "We are fellow sect members, and fighting is against the rules."
Upon hearing this, everyone secretly enjoyed it. Jael was obviously afraid.
In fact, everyone secretly supported Jael’s proposal because they wanted to know more about Peter Brown’s finger technique. Peter Brown’s finger was too astonishing; they couldn’t necessarily survive under his finger attack.
At this time, Robert Lee smiled lightly, "It’s fine. The stronger Elder Wang’s methods are, the more advantageous it is for our sect."
Will Hanson also said, "We should all be harmonious. Peter Brown’s strength is a good thing for our faction and for everyone."
Seeing that no one was provoking Peter Brown, Robert Lee said, "Since Peter Brown has become one of our elders, the sect’s treatment for elders must be implemented. Does anyone have any objections?"
After saying this and waiting for a while, seeing that there were genuinely no objections, Robert Lee was secretly amazed by Peter Brown’s deterrent power and said with a smile, "As an elder, you have ten thousand acres of Spirit Fields. These fields have already been allocated, right next to your own lands. You can collect them with your token later. Besides, as an elder, you will receive ten thousand cultivation coins every month. This is a compulsory treatment, and elders can freely enter the sect’s Scripture Tower. In the future, Elder Wang can enter the tower freely with the token."
What Peter Brown was most concerned about was how to distribute the spiritual objects produced in his Spirit Field. He asked, "Does the sect still need to collect a share from my Spirit Field’s production?"
Shaking his head, Robert Lee said, "There is no such requirement. You can manage it freely as part of the treatment."
Peter Brown smiled faintly and thought it would be convenient for his planting.
Thinking about being able to enter the Scripture Tower freely, Peter Brown remembered the issue of changing his cultivation technique.
