On this day.
Early morning.
The mighty bell tolls came from the direction of the Xuanhai Sect, cleansing one's soul in waves.
The mist that had been shrouding the area dispersed, revealing the splendid jade palaces, divine palaces, hundreds of birds paying homage to the phoenix, spirit apes presenting fruits, and other marvelous scenes.
Several rays of light flew out of the sect on spiritual artifacts or spirit beasts. They arrived outside the Blessed Fortune Inn and circled above the huge square.
In the Near Immortal Town, everyone was excited. They knew the day of the opening of the Xuanhai Sect had arrived.
Outside the town, Zhu Linger shouted with a serious face, "Break camp and go to the Conference of the Celestial Destiny!"
Many people made the same decision as her. They crowded together and gathered in one place.
…
In the blink of an eye, the square was filled with people.
Chung Shen-soo walked out of the small courtyard and chose a window seat on the second floor of the Blessed Fortune Inn to watch the show.
Of course, he wouldn't lower himself to become the disciple of the Xuanhai Sect. He just planned to meet the Core Formation Ancestral Master as a fellow Daoist and discuss the Dao.
Whoosh!
At this moment, the rays of light circling in the sky landed on the ground. Several figures appeared. They were surrounded by rays of light, which made them look like Immortals.
"All of you, listen up!"
A young man in his twenties, who was wearing a Daoist robe and carrying a long sword on his back, stepped forward and said in a voice that could be heard from afar, "Today is the auspicious day of the Xuanhai Sect's grand opening. We are recruiting disciples from all over the world. All children whose bone age is less than 15 and whose Dao foundation is above the medium level can come forward and be tested by us. If you pass, you can join the sect."
As soon as he said that, many people's faces were filled with disappointment.
"The aptitude test is much stricter …"
"I … I just had my birthday. I'm 16 now. What should I do?"
"Lord Immortal Master, please be merciful!"
A cultivator who looked to be at least in his twenties threw himself in front of the young man. He seemed to want to hug the young man's leg and beg, "I heard that there is a chance to become an immortal here, so I traveled for three years to get here. Lord Immortal Master …"
Bang!
Before he could finish his words, the man was sent flying and hit a wall. Blood spurted out of his mouth and nose.
A trace of disgust flashed across the young man's face as he shouted, "Isn't this young master clear? Those who don't meet the requirements, don't come up … Apart from that, those who practice other unorthodox techniques and cultivate Qi on their own, don't come and humiliate yourselves! "
As soon as he said this, many children of the right age looked dejected.
They were all itinerant cultivator disciples who had long been taught their family's cultivation techniques.
Who would have thought that it would harm them instead?
"Immortal Master, I'm Liu Wendong from Near Celestial Town. I would like to give it a try."
At this time, Liu Wendong was the first to step forward.
He was a veteran of the Near Celestial Town and knew all kinds of taboos, so he was well prepared.
"Yes, let's give it a try."
The young man's expression softened a little. He looked at the boy behind Liu Wen Dong and asked, "What's your name?"
Most of the locals of Near Celestial Town were inextricably linked to the disciples of the Xuanhai Sect. They could be considered as half of their own people, so they were naturally more amiable.
"Liu … Liu Wugen!"
Liu Wen Dong's son looked to be 13 or 14 years old, and he wore green clothes. He looked at the young man with fear and envy.
The young man moved his palm and touched Liu Wugen's body. He nodded and said, "Bone Age 14! Senior Brother, please check the aptitude of your Dao foundation! "
Behind him, another young man in luxurious clothes walked out with a folding fan in his hand.
This young man was handsome and elegant. He gently tapped the folding fan in his hand on Liu Wugen's forehead. After a while, his expression became slightly surprised. "Middle and upper grade foundation. Not bad. You passed!"
"Thank you, Immortal Master. Thank you, Immortal Master!"
Liu Wen Dong was overjoyed. He knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly.
The surrounding people all looked envious.
"The son of the Liu family has reached the sky in a single bound!"
"This Wu Gang has been slow since he was a child. A few days ago, he didn't succeed in building his foundation. I thought he would miss the auspicious day. I didn't expect him to build his foundation before the Conference of Celestial Destiny. This is also luck!"
…
In the crowd, Zhu Linger looked at the young man who began to test the foundation of the children one by one. A hint of joy flashed across her face. "It really is this Immortal Master. He is Hong Yuanxiong, an inner disciple of the Xuanhai Sect. Father spent a lot of effort to find out that this person was the host of this Conference of Celestial Destiny. He also found out that this Immortal Master wanted to forge a flying sword, so he sent a piece of Hundred Refinements Darksteel to him in advance. Brother Long 'er, not only will you pass, but you will also be taken care of in the sect."
Zhu Linger seemed a little nervous as she watched the children step forward one by one. Most of them were rejected mercilessly.
Zhu Linger hurriedly touched his head and comforted him, "Don't be afraid, brother. Go up. The future of the Zhu family will depend on you."
Zhu Linger's face showed a determined expression as she stepped forward.
Above the Blessed Inn, Chung Shen Soo's face was calm. Looking at the people in the world, he felt that his Dao Heart seemed to have some enlightenment.
"It's a trap!"
He heard a happy voice in the private room.
He used his divine sense and saw that in one of the private rooms of the Blessed Inn, there were several people gathered around a young noble.
"Congratulations, Fourth Prince. As expected, the Zhu family has fallen into our trap."
A scholar holding a feather fan said with a smile.
"Hehe … The Zhu family is merely a merchant family. They are like pigs raised by our Yue Country! Once they are fat, we will kill them … They want to produce an Immortal and get rid of our control? Dream on! "
The Fourth Prince's expression was gloomy.
The Rising Sun Trading Company made a lot of money in the Yue Country and controlled the people's livelihood. People with insight were already afraid of them.
It was fine if they worshiped a few Immortals, but they actually wanted to nurture their own Immortals.
If Zhu Linger succeeded in becoming a disciple and even won the favor of the Xuanhai Sect's old ancestor, wouldn't the Zhu family's status be unshakable? They might even develop some indescribable ambitions.
"I heard that Zhu Linger's aptitude is pretty good. He has been nurtured with great effort and has forged a high-grade Dao foundation."
When the Fourth Prince spoke up to this point, his face twisted. He only had a middle-grade Dao foundation.
"A mere Immortal Fate is not enough for the Millennium Coldlight Iron that my royal father personally took out from the treasury!"
The cultivators of this world were influenced by the customs of the ancient times. They preferred to forge magic treasures like flying swords to defend themselves against enemies and demons.
As long as one had a good flying sword and exquisite swordsmanship, it would be easy to kill enemies of a higher level.
Hong Yuanxiong wanted to forge a flying sword. Everyone knew what he was thinking.
The Zhu family had paid a great price and gifted him a piece of Hundred Refinements Darksteel. However, it was only a low-grade material for forging a flying sword. Even if he succeeded, the quality of the flying sword would only be of the lowest quality.
However, the Millennium Coldlight Iron that the Yue Country secretly gifted him was different. With it as a sword embryo and decades of hard work, the quality of the flying sword might be improved. It might even be able to carry some cold energy when it flew out to kill enemies.
To cultivators, a flying sword was no different from a second life.
Thus, after Hong Yuanxiong received the Millennium Coldlight Iron, he immediately decided to sell the Zhu family!
Zhu Linger knew nothing about this. After passing the bone test, he came before Hong Yuanxiong and looked at the person who was said to have received a bribe. He revealed a flattering smile.
