(What about monthly votes? Can I ask for a few more monthly votes?)
As time passed, Yu Nianxin was running around, trying to recruit esoteric disciples with enough talent, potential, and strength to assist him in the fight for the honor of being a Daoist. However, he failed repeatedly.
There were two reasons for this. First, Yu Nianxin became a reserve Daoist later than the other four. Most of the esoteric disciples with talent and potential were recruited by the other four reserve Daoists. Even if there were some left, they were either not in the Ice Phoenix Path, or they were threatened and did not dare to do so.
Weighing the pros and cons!
After all, although they didn't say it explicitly, Red Phoenix had secretly released the news. Whoever assisted Yu Nianxin would be regarded as a thorn in Red Phoenix's side. Once there was a chance, they would remove the thorn in Red Phoenix's side.
Anyone who could become a true or esoteric disciple of the Ice Phoenix Path was not a fool. They would all think about it.
There was no doubt that among the five preparatory Daoists, the most competitive one was undoubtedly Senior Sister Hong Feng, followed by Second Senior Sister Hua Yourong. According to everyone's analysis, the probability of Senior Sister Hong Feng winning the title of Daoist was more than 80%.
Second Senior Sister Hua Yourong could pose a threat to Red Phoenix's Eldest Senior Sister, but she did not have the confidence to win, let alone the other reserve Daoists. The gap was obvious.
Of course, there were still variables, and that variable was foreign aid.
Asking for foreign aid was a special feature. A strong foreign aid could possibly turn the situation around.
However, even in terms of foreign aid, Red Phoenix was extraordinary.
Advantage!
At least in all the aspects that had been revealed, Red Phoenix had the most advantage, and the possibility of winning the honor of being a Daoist was the highest.
Yu Nianxin was undoubtedly the most disadvantaged. Everyone was very clear about which choice to make.
One side had the most advantage, and the other side had the most disadvantage. The difference was very obvious.
Of course, most of the people who were recruited by Yu Nianxin found an excuse and a reason to tactfully refuse, so as not to offend Yu Nianxin. In any case, Yu Nianxin's bloodline awakening was extraordinary. Even if he could not become a Daoist, his talent and potential were extraordinary, and his future achievements would not be low.
"These people are too infuriating." Li Jiayin's baby face was full of anger.
Failure!
Failure!
Failure!
After failing again and again, Yu Nianxin's eyebrows were filled with exhaustion.
So far, Li Jiayin was the only disciple she had recruited through her own efforts. It just so happened that Li Jiayin had consumed a few dozen Sky Underworld Fruits, which had stimulated some of her potential. Her cultivation base had already reached the peak of the Dao Manipulation Realm. After going into seclusion, she had finally successfully broken through and reached the low-level Yuan Underworld Realm, thus becoming a secret disciple.
But to be honest, Li Jiayin alone could not provide much help. It was better than nothing.
In fact, Yu Nianxin didn't even try to recruit Li Jiayin. Li Jiayin was the one who offered herself to him. After all, the two of them had a good relationship.
…
Chen Zong went into seclusion again, focusing all his attention on improving his body tempering cultivation. He had consumed all the high-grade Tianming Supreme Elixirs, and it was difficult for him to obtain other body tempering elixirs, etc. For the time being, Chen Zong's body tempering cultivation was still stuck at the mid-level of the Greater Mastery Divine Body Realm.
But the seclusion was not ineffective. At the very least, his cultivation base was approaching the high-level level. His World Domain was also expanding continuously, gradually approaching the second level of 10,000 meters.
As for Yu Nianxin, Chen Zong was not worried about anything at the moment. He could only contribute some strength by working hard to improve himself.
While Chen Zong was cultivating in seclusion, Yu Nianxin was constantly trying to recruit people. Ao Shengwang of the Ice Sacred Palace's Ice Dragon Path came to Yu Nianxin.
"Senior Brother Ao, what can I do for you?" Yu Nianxin bowed slightly and asked.
"Nianxin, you don't have to be so polite to me." Ao Shengwang acted as if he was very close to Yu Nianxin. Then, without waiting for Yu Nianxin to speak, he said again, "Let me first congratulate you on awakening your bloodline, increasing your cultivation base greatly, and becoming a preparatory Path-Chosen. But recently, Nianxin, your actions seem to have been hindered and not smooth."
Yu Nianxin becoming a preparatory Path-Chosen and recruiting the Ice Phoenix Path Sisters to be his assistants were not secret news. Ao Shengwang also paid close attention to Yu Nianxin's actions, so he knew very well. Now, he seized the opportunity that he thought was suitable and took the initiative to come to Yu Nianxin.
"In half a month, the battle for the Path-Chosen position will begin. Nianxin, your current situation is very unfavorable for you." Ao Shengwang had the mentality of having everything under control. He spoke as if he was in high spirits. Divine light shot out from his eyes and flickered incessantly. His words were sharp and pointed directly at Yu Nianxin's current predicament. "But Nianxin, you don't have to worry too much. These two people are the disciples that my Ao Family has carefully cultivated. They both have the cultivation base of the Complete Yuanming Realm and their battle strength has reached the Eleven-Star level. The two of them are twins and have cultivated together since they were young. They have a great tacit understanding.
"Ao Shisan and Ao Shisi greet Yu's Secret Teachings." The two young men behind Ao Shengwang who looked almost identical stepped forward and bowed to Yu Nianxin with a cold and solemn expression.
Li Jiayin, who was beside Yu Nianxin, narrowed her eyes and was shocked.
Two people with Eleven-Star Yuanming Realm battle strength wanted to be external assistance. This was indeed very shocking. Without a doubt, it would definitely be a great help.
The current situation was very obvious. It was very difficult to recruit enough outstanding people to assist Yu Nianxin in the Ice Phoenix Road. Starting with external assistance might be another good method.
However, Yu Nianxin didn't seem to have any action to ask for external assistance. This made Li Jiayin very puzzled. Now that someone had taken the initiative to come to the door, it couldn't be better. If possible, Li Jiayin wanted to accept Yu Nianxin's place.
However, she didn't say anything because she only recommended herself to assist Yu Nianxin. She didn't have the right to make the decision.
To be honest, having two Eleven-Star external assistance made Yu Nianxin's heart skip a beat. He almost agreed. After all, with two more external assistance like this, the success rate of him vying for the Dao Disciple position would be much higher.
However, these two people weren't recruited by him. They were sent by Ao Shengwang. Moreover, they were members of the Ao Family. Ao Shengwang's attitude towards him was very direct and obvious. Unfortunately, Yu Nianxin's heart couldn't accept him.
Since he couldn't accept Ao Shengwang, he couldn't accept the external assistance brought by Ao Shengwang.
"Thank you for your kindness, Senior Brother Ao. I appreciate it." Yu Nianxin didn't beat around the bush. Instead, she said very directly, "As for external assistance, I have already found one. Also, please call me Junior Sister Yu or Yu Nianxin by her full name."
Although Yu Nianxin would say that every time, Ao Shengwang would act as if he didn't hear it. He would still call her "Nianxin" as if he was very close to her.
However, that didn't mean that Yu Nianxin could ignore him. Even if it was useless to say it, he still had to say it. It was a kind of attitude.
"Senior Brother Ao, I still have something to do. I'll take my leave first." After saying that, Yu Nianxin turned around and left. Li Jiayin glanced at Ao Shengwang and felt that it was a pity.
Anyone with a discerning eye could see that Ao Shengwang had feelings for Yu Nianxin. Unfortunately, Yu Nianxin didn't know what was going on. She just wasn't moved.
At first, everyone thought that Yu Nianxin was pretending to be reserved. She was purposely whetting Ao Shengwang's appetite. However, everyone gradually understood that Yu Nianxin wasn't whetting Ao Shengwang's appetite. She really didn't have any feelings for Ao Shengwang.
This naturally caused many people to be envious, jealous, and hateful.
Li Jiayin was actually very envious as well. However, there was nothing she could do. Ao Shengwang didn't like her.
Although it was a pity, she was now assisting Yu Nianxin. Naturally, she had to prioritize Yu Nianxin.
After bowing to Ao Shengwang, Li Jiayin quickly turned around and chased after Yu Nianxin. However, Ao Shengwang didn't even look at Li Jiayin. He stared at Yu Nianxin's back with an expressionless face. Under his sleeves, his hands were clenched into fists as if he wanted to crush everything.
Although it wasn't the first time he was rejected, Ao Shengwang was getting more and more annoyed.
If it was said that when he was rejected at the beginning, he had a playful attitude as if he wanted to overcome the difficulties, but now, he was gradually feeling impatient.
"After I become a Daoist, I'll deal with you properly." Ao Shengwang secretly made up his mind. Then, he looked at Ao Shisan and Ao Shisi and said, "You two, go to Hong Feng and be her external aid. You must help her to become a Daoist. Remember, if necessary, you can use your last resort."
"Yes, Young Master." Ao Shisan and Ao Shisi's heart skipped a beat and immediately answered seriously.
Helping Hong Feng wasn't a big deal. However, if they had to use their last resort when necessary, then it would be different for them.
Hong Feng was naturally overjoyed with the arrival of Ao Shisan and Ao Shisi. Especially when the two of them came under Ao Shengwang's orders.
With these two powerful external aids, Hong Feng's chances of becoming a Daoist increased by a lot.
Half a month's time was actually very short. Yu Nianxin was still trying her best.
She was at a disadvantage because she took too long to become a Preparatory Daoist. Compared to the other four Preparatory Daoists, she lacked a lot of preparation time.
However, no matter what, she had to give it her all.
Right now, the time was getting closer and closer. Under Hong Feng's invisible suppression and Ao Shengwang's seemingly unintentional words, Yu Nianxin couldn't move an inch. She couldn't recruit any experts to assist her.
The Battle of the Daoist was getting closer and closer. There was only one day left. Yu Nianxin returned to her cave with exhaustion. Today was the last day. She couldn't fight for it anymore. What she had to do today was to gather the people who would assist her because the Battle of the Daoist would begin tomorrow.
Chen Zong naturally received the news and quickly rushed to Ice Phoenix Road.
…
There were a total of five people present in Yu Nianxin's cave.
Yu Nianxin, Li Jiayin, Chen Zong, Lan Shuang, and Wu Qiaoyun.
