After receiving Zhou Xuan's guidance, Yang Yansheng took the token and rowed the boat on the sea.
Compared to the outer sea, Cold Jade Ocean Province's waves were relatively gentle, but there were huge waves from time to time. Fortunately, his boat was not an ordinary object. There were restrictions on the boat, so it did not capsize.
After sailing for six months, he finally saw an island with a white bird.
The token in his pocket trembled, and he knew that this was the place to become his disciple. He could not help but be excited and rowed the boat with all his might.
But after a while, he realized that no matter how he rowed the boat, he could not go any further. The huge boat kept spinning on the sea.
When he came over, the cultivator in green gave him a jade scroll. It was not some profound technique, but some common knowledge about Daoist cultivators.
He guessed that he had encountered the rumored restriction formation. Just as he was thinking of a way, a voice sounded above his head, "Why did this Daoist brother cross the sea?"
He looked up and saw a beautiful girl riding on a white bird, looking at him curiously. He quickly cupped his hands and said, "I am Yang Yansheng, I have received permission from Spiritual Master Zhou to come here and become your disciple."
"Spiritual Master Zhou? Become your disciple? "
That young girl felt a bit confused. Although the sects also brought some people from the Nine Continents over, at this time, most of them were still in the small world and hadn't been released. Thus, she looked at him seriously and asked, "Oh, could it be that Dao Brother isn't a creature of this world?"
Yang Yansheng could not hide his identity, so he answered truthfully, "Yes."
The young girl's interest was piqued. She asked, "Then are you a demon, or a strange spirit monster?"
Yang Yansheng hesitated and said, "Erm, I should be a monster. Is there a problem?"
The girl giggled and said, "Senior brother is worrying too much. My Clear Feather Sect has many cultivators of the different races. "
Yang Yansheng heaved a sigh of relief and thought, "So the sect that Spiritual Master Zhou wants me to join is Clear Feather Sect?"
The girl exclaimed and said, "The Spiritual Master Zhou that senior brother is talking about, is he Zhou Xuan from Qincang School?"
Yang Yansheng nodded and said, "That is his name."
The young girl's expression turned serious and said, "So it was Zhenren Zhou who recommended Shixiong to come here. Little sister is Yu Xuan. After you enter the sect, I might need you to take care of me in the future. "
Yang Yansheng hurriedly said, "Senior Sister Yu is too serious."
Yu Xuan waved her hand, and a ray of light shone down, signaling him to stand up. She said, "Dao Brother, you don't know the way, so I'll bring you along."
Yang Yansheng walked onto the mysterious light and felt as if he was standing on a cloud. Then, he was supported by the light and landed on the back of the white bird.
He watched as the mystic light was absorbed into the girl's body. A look of envy appeared in his eyes.
In the Shan Yang Clan, only the nobles of the upper six clans could acquire such a flying divine ability by refining their blood and Qi. As for the lower thirty-six clans that he came from, they could only acquire some inferior divine abilities that were similar to turning stone into mud.
At this moment, he suddenly thought of a question and asked, "May I ask Senior Martial Sister Yu, what is the cultivation level of your sect leader?"
The young girl revealed a proud expression and said, "Our Clear Feather Sect's Ancestral Master Tao is the Heaven Abode Immortal."
Yang Yansheng's heart shook, and at the same time, a look of anticipation appeared on his face.
He learned from the jade scroll. Many sects were founded by Core Formation cultivators or Heaven Abode Yuanying cultivators. He originally thought that it was good enough for a foreign alien like him to be able to join such a sect. He didn't expect that he would join a sect founded by a Heaven Abode Immortal.
From the description of the records, such a person might be much stronger than a Demon Saint, and he had a sect that the Heaven Abode Immortal was in. Although he knew that he didn't have the right to be picky, as a young man, he naturally had more thoughts in his mind.
The two of them rode on the white bird and soon arrived on the island. At this moment, the token in the bag suddenly shook, and it leaped out by itself, flying toward a mountain peak high up on the island. After a while, a deep voice came down. "Xuan Er, bring him to the mountain peak to see me."
Yu Xuan replied and said, "Yes, Master."
She raised her hand and lightly clapped. The white bird chirped happily and flew toward the mountain peak. The island wasn't big, and after a while, they stopped in front of an abode.
Yang Yansheng leaped down from the bird's body. There was a Daoist child standing beside the abode's door. The child smiled at him in a friendly manner and cupped his hands. "Senior Martial Brother, the Heaven Abode Immortal is waiting for you in the abode."
Yang Yansheng thanked him and walked inside with some apprehension. After about ten steps, the inside of the abode gradually became spacious. After going around a stone screen, he saw a Daoist in his fifties sitting on a stone couch. In front of him was the token that had flown away. He knew that this should be his teacher, so he hurriedly learned the customs of the nine continents and went forward to kowtow. "Yang Yansheng greets Teacher."
The Daoist sized him up and said with a kind expression, "Hmm, get up. I don't like common etiquette. In the future, when we talk to each other, there's no need to be so formal."
Yang Yansheng's heart was filled with excitement and joy. He said yes, kowtowed again, and stood up.
The Daoist nodded and said, "My name is Chen Yicong, and I'm the seventeenth disciple of Patriarch Tao. I only have one disciple, and Just Now, the one who brought you here is your Eldest Martial Sister. She's only one or two years older than you. From now on, you'll cultivate here and learn from her. "
Before Tao Zhenhong formed the Heavenly Abode, he had four disciples. Even though their aptitudes weren't bad, when Clear Feather Sect was first established, external objects were too scarce. Three of them died of old age, and now, only the fourth disciple, Yang Lin, was still alive. However, in the next few hundred years, he had taken in another ten disciples, and Chen Yicong had become his disciple about four hundred years ago.
Even though Clear Feather Sect hadn't chosen a location, as a Yuanying cultivator, he had his own island as a place to cultivate. However, he wasn't like his senior martial brothers who were indifferent and didn't compete with others. Other than his hobby of raising strange birds and beasts, he didn't have any hobbies and rarely interacted with his fellow disciples.
This time, when Zhou Xuan recommended this disciple of a different race to be his disciple, he was only slightly surprised before agreeing to it. He didn't even ask for the reason.
Yang Yansheng said, "Little disciple will definitely work hard to cultivate. I won't disappoint you."
Chen Yicong shook his head and said, "Cultivation is your own business. I'll teach you whatever you want to learn. Even if you can't cultivate it, I won't blame you."
He pondered for a moment and said, "Since you're my disciple, you should change your name. Your surname is the fire of the sun and moon, but it's too rash and violent. It doesn't leave any room for retreat. As the saying goes, a long time of prosperity leads to decline. It's not suitable for us cultivators. I'll go to the fire to get wood, and change the dead to give birth to new life. Let's change your surname to Yang."
Yang Yansheng was overjoyed. "Many thanks, Master. The name Yansheng was casually given to me by a noble. Could you please change it as well?"
Chen Yicong stroked his beard and said, "You're a Sprite of the Mountain and Sea Realm, and have a Dao of illusion. However, now that you're my disciple, you don't need to worry about your past identity. Illusions are real. Master hopes that you won't betray your original heart, and will walk the righteous Dao. I'll give you a name. How about 'Yan Zhen'?"
"Yan Zhen... Yang Yanzhen?"
After repeating his name twice, the young man felt as if he had been reborn. He dropped to his knees and kowtowed. "Many thanks, Master, for bestowing a name upon me." But then he remembered that his Master had taken care of him Just Now, so he quickly rose to his feet.
Chen Yicong looked at him and said, "Master can see that your qi and blood are strong, but I don't know how to use it. I also don't know how to circulate and refine qi. Take a look at this technique. If you don't understand anything, you can ask Master."
He produced a jade slip, which Yang Yanzhen respectfully accepted. He clutched it tightly in his hand, as if he were afraid of losing it.
Seeing that Chen Yicong had closed his eyes and wasn't saying anything, he knew he had to leave. Bowing, he carefully left.
When he came outside, he saw Ding Xuan standing there in an apricot yellow dress. She pursed her lips into a smile and said, "Should I call you Junior Martial Brother now?"
Yang Yanzhen clasped his hands and said, "Greetings, Elder Sister."
Ding Xuan giggled and said, "Even though Master's cultivation is one of the best under Founding Master's tutelage, there are too few disciples. I'm the only one. I don't even have anyone to discuss with. Now that Junior Brother is here, it'll be a little more lively." As she spoke, she waved her hand again. "Junior Brother, come with me. I'll take you to get the medicinal pills you need for cultivation."
He led Yang Yanzhen to a bluestone paved mountain path. After walking for two to three miles, they arrived in front of a cave. He waved a talisman in his hand and warned, "There are a few spirit lizards guarding the cave. Junior Brother, if you don't have the talisman, don't go in. Be careful, they might eat you."
Yang Yanzhen nodded obediently.
Ding Xuan led him inside. The cave was quite deep, and the paths were extremely complicated. It seemed to contain some kind of formation. After walking for about an hour, the two of them came to a cave that was ten feet wide.
Ding Xuan pointed at the pool of water in the middle that was glowing with light and said, "This is the Jade Elixir Essence Pool. Junior Brother, if you cultivate diligently, you can come here to open your meridians in one or two years."
She walked to the side and took down three items from the rack. They were a set of clothes, a sleeve pouch, and a beast ambushing collar. She handed them to him and said, "Junior Brother, keep them well. These clothes are the clothing of my Clear Feather Sect. If you don't like to wear them, you can throw them aside. There are half a load of water and food in the sleeve pouch. You can use it when you're in seclusion. You can order the servants to prepare your daily meals. The beast ambushing collar can catch birds and beasts. This island is surrounded by boundless seawater. If you go out, you can choose a bird from this collar as your mount. As for how to use it, I'll teach you later. "
After that, she explained the rules and taboos of the sect in detail. Yang Yanzhen listened very seriously. It was not easy to come by a cultivation opportunity. He didn't want to lose the big for the small, so he memorized everything in his heart.
As they spoke, a long dragon roar came from outside the island, and a voice came. "Is Fellow Daoist Chen here?"
Ding Xuan said in surprise, "It's Jade Feather Pavilion's Spiritual Master Han."
Yang Yanzhen asked, "Is Jade Feather Pavilion a big sect?"
Ding Xuan shook her head and said, "Even though Jade Feather Pavilion isn't a big sect, Spiritual Master Han is the disciple of Qincang School's Zhang Shangzhen." When she said that, her beautiful eyes turned and revealed a hint of slyness. She grabbed his hand and said, "Let's go, Junior Brother. You just happen to lack a guardian spirit beast. This Spiritual Master Han's cave abode has many rare birds and beasts. Since Master has accepted you as a disciple, and Spiritual Master Han is a good friend of his, you have to give him a greeting gift."
