"Headmaster, these two girls can be considered my apprentices. Please take care of them." Ling Xian grinned.
"Of course. Such beautiful gems, of course I will do my best to polish them." Zi Dong Lai stared at the two beautiful girls before him, and the happiness on his face deepened. He didn't think such beautiful gems would appear during this recruitment drive.
"Then let me introduce you. Her name is Yun Meng. She is not very talented in cultivation, but she is very talented in alchemy. She is already a Ninth Realm Alchemist." The corner of Ling Xian's lips curled up as he pointed at Yun Meng.
"Ninth Realm Alchemist?"
Zi Dong Lai's eyes flashed with shock. Alchemists were highly respected and rare. Though Yun Meng was merely a Ninth Realm Alchemist, her importance to the House far exceeded that of a normal foundational cultivator.
"Good, good. I cannot believe that this recruitment drive not only left a Heaven's Favorite for the House of Zi Yang, but also a Ninth Realm Alchemist with a bright future." Zi Dong Lai's face was rippling with joy. As the leader of the House, the more talented the House has, the happier he is.
"Her name is Yun Yan, Yun Meng's sister. She is a Heaven's Favorite of the tenth level." Ling Xian smiled and pointed at Yun Yan.
"Tenth level of Qi?"
Zi Dong Lai gasped. If the fact that she was a Ninth Realm Alchemist surprised him, then the fact that Yun Yan was a Heaven's Favorite of the undefeatable realm shocked him.
To know that not every cultivator can achieve the tenth level of Qi.
That was the undefeatable realm of the meditational level. Only real geniuses can achieve that!
Once a cultivator reaches the undefeatable realm of the meditational level, it means they have reached the peak of their realm. Not only do their battling abilities surpass normal cultivators, it also proves their talent and potential!
This was why when Ling Xian said Yun Yan had reached the tenth level of Qi, Zi Dong Lai was shocked. He used his Qi to investigate Yun Yan's cultivation level and laughed, "Haha, you really are a Qi of the tenth level. The Zi Yang House sure is lucky."
"Of course it is. Or else why would I lie to you?" Ling Xian's lips curled up into a smile, feeling proud and happy.
On the way to the House of Zi Yang, under his guidance, Yun Yan finally became a rare Heaven's Favorite and became a rare Heaven's Favorite.
"Haha, great! Our House of Zi Yang originally only had one Heaven's Favorite. Now, we have one more. This is a sign of prosperity for the House of Zi Yang!" Zi Dong Lai laughed out loud as he stared at Yun Yan. He was contemplating whether or not to accept her as his apprentice.
Embarrassed by Zi Dong Lai's stare, Yun Yan's cheeks flushed red. She whispered, "It is all thanks to you. If it wasn't for you, I wouldn't have reached the tenth level."
It was true. Whether it was her becoming a Heaven's Favorite of the meditational level or Yun Meng becoming a Ninth Realm Alchemist, she had to thank Ling Xian.
If it weren't for him, Yun Yan wouldn't have been able to cure her innate spiritual energy deficiency. Naturally, she wouldn't have been able to break through to the tenth level.
El Mar would never know that he had talent in the Dao of Alchemy and became a Ninth Tier Alchemist.
If they didn't run into Ling Xian, the entire Yun Clan would've been wiped out.
Therefore, all of this was thanks to Ling Xian.
"Yun Yan, there is no need to be humble. You are very talented. Even without me, you would've reached this level." Ling Xian waved his hand.
"No, it is all thanks to you. Without you, I wouldn't be where I am today," Yun Yan said stubbornly.
"Girl, you're really stubborn." Ling Xian shook his head helplessly and shifted his gaze to Zi Dong Lai. He grinned, "Headmaster, these two sisters are direct descendants of the Yun Clan. Since they have entered the House of Zi Yang, then the Yun Clan's yearly tribute should be reduced, right?"
"Of course. I will order the Yun Clan to reduce their tribute by 70 percent. What do you think?" Zi Dong Lai waved around his sleeve.
"That's good." Ling Xian smiled in satisfaction. "I thank you on behalf of the Yun Clan."
Yun Yan and Yun Meng were ecstatic. Reducing the tribute by 70 percent meant the Yun Clan doesn't have to work so hard every year. They can save a lot of spiritual stones and use them to purchase more resources.
Because of this, the Yun Clan's capabilities will grow exponentially. It was not hard to predict that in the near future, the Yun Clan will have many powerhouses.
"It's all because of you," Yun Yan whispered. She peeked at the handsome Ling Xian and blushed.
She knew very well that the reason why the Headmaster of the Zi Yang House changed the rule from 30 percent to 70 percent was not because of her and Yun Meng, but because of Ling Xian.
Or else the Headmaster of the House would not change the rule so easily.
"We are family, there is no need to thank me." Zi Dong Lai laughed. Looking at the darkened sky, he smiled, "It's about time. Let's enter the House."
"Okay."
Ling Xian nodded and followed behind Zi Dong Lai.
The completion leveled cultivator waved his hand and the space around him vibrated. A ripple of water rippled out and a golden door appeared before them. It was shining with colors and was as bright as a rainbow.
"Follow me."
Smiling, Zi Dong Lai led the way.
Ling Xian, the Demonic Fairy, Yun Yan, and Yun Meng followed.
In the next second, they entered the House of Zi Yang's territory.
This place was filled with undulating mountains, towering ancient trees, exotic flowers, and waterfalls. Like a paradise, it was picturesque and picturesque.
The spiritual energy here was dense, the land was vast, and everywhere was shrouded in mist. It was a scene of immortals.
"So it was transformed by an extremely rare spatial treasure."
Looking at the scenery that was no different from the real world, Ling Xian realized that this place was transformed by a spatial treasure. Or else the spiritual energy wouldn't be so dense and the scenery wouldn't be so beautiful.
He couldn't help but exclaim. After all, the once illustrious House of Zi Yang. Even though it had fallen, its history was not something normal forces could compare to.
After all, spatial treasures were not something normal forces could possess.
Spatial treasures were extremely rare in the world. Based on their unique classifications, they can be divided into three types.
The first was Paradise, the second was Paradise, and the third was Little World. Paradise was suitable for a small number of cultivators to live in. Most of them were controlled by powerhouses.
Paradises were suitable for different forces to live in. Only the top forces were qualified to own them. As for the best Little World, in the entire world, there weren't many of them.
The Painting of the Nine Immortals in Ling Xian's hand was the best and rarest Little World.
The Little World before him was a mid-level Paradise. Even though its space and spiritual energy could not compare to a Little World, it was still an extremely rare treasure. If the House of Zi Yang wasn't once glorious, it wouldn't have been qualified to own one.
"It seems like Master Ling is very knowledgeable. Normal people do not recognize spatial treasures."
Hearing Ling Xian reveal the nature of this place, Zi Dong Lai's eyes flashed with shock. He realized that he couldn't see through Ling Xian anymore.
"It's not that I'm knowledgeable or anything. It's just that I like to read books, so I get my knowledge from them." Ling Xian was humble. He had to be humble. He couldn't tell Zi Dong Lai the truth and tell him that he only knew this place was a Paradise because he had a Little World.
If he said that, Zi Dong Lai would go crazy from jealousy and kill him for his treasures.
After all, a Little World was far too valuable. It was hundreds of times more valuable than this Paradise!
"It's no wonder you are so elegant and graceful like an immortal. You have a lot of knowledge in you," Zi Dong Lai complimented. Zi Dong Lai complimented. Then, he extended his right hand, "Come, let me show you around and pick a place to stay."
"You go ahead. I need to go back and meditate." The Demonic Fairy suddenly spoke. Staring at the handsome young man, she said in a low voice, "In three months, we will fight at the Peak of Swords. This time, I will avenge myself and defeat you."
"Then you have to work hard. I, Ling Xian, am not that easy to defeat." Ling Xian teasingly looked at her and teased, "I suggest you read more books about being a maid. Be a good girl and be my maid."
"Is that so? I suggest you read more books about being a maid as well. Otherwise, when the time comes, you won't get whipped by me." The corner of the Demonic Fairy's lips curled up.
"Then I will wait and see. Don't disappoint me." Ling Xian faintly grinned, his handsome face full of confidence.
"Hmmph."
The Demonic Fairy glared at Ling Xian and floated away.
"Please don't blame her. The Demonic Fairy is naturally arrogant. Even though people call her a demon, she only kills people who deserve to be killed. She is not a bad person." Zi Dong Lai tried to defend the Demonic Fairy. He didn't want these two Heaven's Favorites that he spent so much effort to recruit to fight to the death.
"I know. Headmaster, please take us to pick out a palace." Ling Xian nodded.
"Okay, follow me."
Zi Dong Lai extended his right hand and walked towards the mountain peaks that pierced through the clouds.
Ling Xian and the Yun Sisters followed closely behind.
After a while, Yun Meng chose a mountain peak. Yun Yan was also very satisfied with the mountain peak. Thus, the two sisters settled down on this mountain peak.
Ling Xian and Zi Dong Lai continued to choose.
After a while, Ling Xian's eyes brightened. Before him, there was a giant mountain peak that pierced through the sky like a sharp sword. White fog surrounded it. Around this mountain peak, there were no other mountains. This was perfect for his quiet personality.
"This is it." Ling Xian grinned.
"Okay, then this mountain peak belongs to you."
Zi Dong Lai paid his respect, "Since you have picked out a palace, then I will leave first. If you need anything, come find me at the Peak of Zi Yang."
"Headmaster, please." Ling Xian smiled.
Zi Dong Lai nodded, turned into a ray of light, and disappeared.
After his silhouette disappeared, Ling Xian's expression revealed a trace of happiness. He quickly flew to the peak of the mountain and waved his hand to set up a simple inhibition spell. Then, he hurriedly walked into the palace as if something extraordinary had happened.
Normally speaking, his mentality was calm and collected. Even if Mt. Tai were to collapse before him, he should be able to remain calm.
Why was he in such a rush?
Because he heard the Keeper of Land and Sea say something.
A sentence that made him extremely excited.
"The third immortal has awakened. Enter the Painting of the Nine Immortals."
