In the courtyard of one of the residences in the city, a kind-looking yellow-robed cultivator with a sword on his back watched Fairy Hong Chen's silhouette disappear into the richly ornamented building. He muttered to himself as if he had understood something, "So that's how it is!"
He seemed to have understood something. With a slight smile, he turned around and entered the house. He sat cross-legged on the couch and formed an orchid Buddhist seal with both hands, placing them on his knees. He closed his eyes and opened his mouth, letting out a cryptic Sanskrit chant.
Ordinary people might not be able to see anything, but those with profound transcendence energy would definitely be able to see a golden'd '. The word'd 'emerged from between his trembling lips, growing larger and larger, before quickly flying out the door and disappearing without a trace...
In the city, the three siblings finally managed to avoid Head Guard Huang and sneak in. They heaved a sigh of relief.
Miao Yi found an old well and washed it with a bucket of water, then led the siblings out onto the streets. The three of them were exceptionally excited as they walked through the crowd, looking forward to the beautiful days of becoming Immortals.
But what gave them a headache was that they didn't know which Immortal sect to join!
Normally, it would be better to join the more powerful Immortal sect, but the three of them didn't know which one was the most powerful.
The treasures found in the Boundless Secular World were coveted by all the sects and clans. In the early days, there were fights and robberies, but rules were slowly set down. For the sake of fairness, the various cultivation sects that had gathered here were not allowed to use underhanded means, nor were they allowed to 'solicit customers' on the streets. Everything was up to the treasure seekers, and the treasure would belong to whoever they delivered it to.
But it was impossible to be completely fair. The residences of the big sects in the ancient city were grand and imposing, while the residences of the small sects were of a much lower standard. If the treasure seekers were willing, the small sects would definitely be at a disadvantage.
But there were many grand and imposing residences! The three siblings prepared to compare.
"Zhang Fengbao … Zhang Fengbao …"
The three siblings had just turned a corner when Fatty Zhang stopped in his tracks and turned his head, looking around with a startled expression.
"Second Brother, what are you doing?" Miao Yi and Little Lu stopped and asked.
"Someone's calling me." Fatty Zhang looked around.
"Who's calling you?" Miao Yi and Little Lu didn't see anyone.
"Listen! It seems to be coming from over there. "Fatty Zhang pointed to the other end of the street.
Lao Da and Lao San pricked up their ears but did not hear anything. They looked at each other and shook their heads. Little Lu sneered and said, "Second Brother is lying again."
Miao Yi didn't seem to dare compliment his Little Brother's character. He frowned and said, "Little Brother, stop fooling around."
Fatty Zhang panicked and pointed at the end of the street. "Listen to it yourself! Someone kept calling Zhang Fengbao, Zhang Fengbao. "
Little Lu expressed her doubts, "Second Brother, people who know you call you Fatty Zhang, right?"
"I …" Fatty Zhang was speechless. He thought he was hearing things. He dug his ears with his little finger, but he could still hear it. He said helplessly, "Big Brother, you really didn't hear it? Are you kidding me? "
Little Lu shook her head and looked at her unrepentant Second Brother with disdain.
Seeing that Little Brother didn't seem to be lying, Miao Yi suddenly recalled the situation back in the Boundless Secular World. At that time, he had heard the sound of the zither, but Yan Beihong had pretended that he hadn't heard anything at all. It seemed to be a little similar to the current situation.
"Come, let's go take a look!" Miao Yi called out and had Fatty Zhang lead the way.
After walking down a street, the three of them arrived outside a small courtyard of a residential house. Fatty Zhang pointed at the courtyard and said, "It's here."
Without another word, without waiting for Miao Yi to call out to him, Fatty Zhang had already pushed open the courtyard door and shouted, "Who is it? Old Zhang … "
The words were stuck in their throats. The three siblings widened their eyes and looked at the courtyard in disbelief.
Without opening the door, it looked like an ordinary residential house from the outside. But as soon as the door was pushed open, they immediately discovered that it was a completely different world. Inside, there was a dazzling glow, an auspicious aura coiled around, celestial music drifted in the air, and a strange fragrance assailed their nostrils. Several majestic golden-armored deities stood to the left and right. This wasn't a residential house, it was clearly an immortal's paradise.
In the inner room shrouded in the glow of treasures, a yellow-robed Immortal with a sword on his back sat cross-legged on a lotus throne. With a friendly smile on his face, he beckoned the three of them to enter.
How could the three of them dare to refuse such a grand invitation from an Immortal? They carefully entered the courtyard, and the door automatically closed behind them.
The gaze of the yellow-robed Great Immortal swept across the three of them, and finally fell on Fatty Zhang's face. He nodded slightly and smiled, "Were you the one who heard my summons?"
Fatty Zhang's usual crafty and mischievous look was nowhere to be seen. He nodded with an honest and foolish look on his face. It was always his style to pretend to be honest when encountering a powerful person.
The yellow-robed Great Immortal smiled, "I wish to find a disciple to pass on my mantle, but I have never had a suitable candidate. Coincidentally, I met the Sorcerer, so I came down to ask for his guidance. The Sorcerer gave me a prophecy, and as expected, the fated one is here."
The three of them were so timid and cautious that they didn't understand what he was saying. The yellow-robed Great Immortal didn't seem to care if the three of them could understand, and only asked Fatty Zhang, "Are you willing to be my disciple?"
When the three of them walked around the city, the residences of the immortal sects that accepted disciples seemed to be more imposing than this one. But behind the open doors, it was obvious that the immortal style couldn't compare to this one. The difference wasn't just a little bit.
Miao Yi couldn't figure out who was good and who was bad. This Immortal seemed to have quite the grandeur. Miao Yi clenched his teeth and reached into his robes for a while. He took out two stalks of immortal herbs and gave them to Fatty Zhang and Little Lu. He then pushed the two of them towards the yellow-robed Great Immortal.
It was also the first time Fatty Zhang and Little Lu had seen the Glorious Star immortal herb. They looked at the red branches and jade leaves in their hands that were shrouded in specks of starlight. For a moment, they couldn't tear their gazes away.
The yellow-robed Great Immortal was also a little surprised when he saw the two stalks of immortal herbs. From the size of the immortal herbs, he could tell that their age wasn't ordinary. They should have grown for more than ten thousand years. He looked at Miao Yi with a slightly surprised gaze and asked, "You entered the Boundless Secular World?"
Miao Yi thought to himself, 'Isn't that obvious? If I didn't find the immortal herbs and offer them to you, would you be willing to accept me?' On the surface, he nodded and said, "Yes."
The yellow-robed Great Immortal immediately swept his gaze over Miao Yi's entire body. He saw that Miao Yi only had two stalks of immortal herbs on him. He said with slight regret, "Your temperament is rare. It's a pity that leaving one stalk for you will only bring harm to you. Never mind!"
As he finished speaking, he raised his sleeves and the immortal herb in Fatty Zhang's hands flew into his large sleeves with a whoosh. He then pointed at the ground and said, "Hurry up and kowtow to your Master!"
Fatty Zhang turned to look at Miao Yi. Miao Yi nodded.
Fatty Zhang immediately knelt down and kowtowed, "Master!"
The yellow-robed Great Immortal smiled knowingly. He nodded to Miao Yi and Lu Xuexin and said, "I will accept him. You two can leave now."
The three siblings were stunned at the same time. 'That's not right. Shouldn't he accept immortal herbs as long as he has them?'
Fatty Zhang was the first to jump up and said, "Master, the three of us are together. We have immortal herbs. Please accept us together."
The yellow-robed Great Immortal shook his head in disagreement.
Miao Yi also quickly pushed Lu Xuexin forward and begged, "Great Immortal, please accept my little sister as well. She has immortal herbs. Little Third, quickly kneel and kowtow to your Master! "
Just as Lu Xuexin was about to kneel, the yellow-robed Great Immortal flicked his large sleeves. The little girl couldn't kneel no matter what.
Fatty Zhang was also panicking at the side and shouted, "Big Brother, Little Third, quickly kneel and kowtow to your Master!"
The thoughts of the three siblings were very simple. If they were together, they would be able to look out for each other.
Miao Yi was in a difficult situation. He had risked his life and only managed to bring back two stalks of immortal herbs.
"I didn't come for the immortal herbs. Our sect doesn't accept female disciples!" The yellow-robed Great Immortal shook his head.
Fatty Zhang immediately refused. He extended his hand and said, "Then return the immortal herbs to me. I won't be your disciple anymore."
The yellow-robed Great Immortal smiled and said, "It's not like we're buying or selling things. I've already kowtowed and called you Master. There's no reason for me to go back on my word."
As he finished speaking, he waved his large sleeves again. The courtyard doors automatically opened and a cool breeze instantly sent Miao Yi and Lu Xuexin out.
