The Lifire Palace's selection was currently in full swing. However, Yi Tian had a different way of testing the disciples he had his eyes on. After secretly notifying Niu Renjie of Sunrise City, he gave Fu Zhao his life. When the main examiner, Duan Weiqi, received Yu Fu Zhao's order, he also had a look of bewilderment on his face.
It was just that the sect leader's words carried enormous weight. He naturally didn't dare to go against his words. In the following selection test, he secretly increased the difficulty of Xia Minyu's dao heart test by three times.
Originally, Yi Tian didn't want Xia Minyu to pass the selection test so smoothly, but he didn't expect that after a few hours, when the number ninety-nine appeared on the screen in front of the examiner, Xia Minyu would actually break through the illusion array and wake up.
He had a look of wild joy on his face. He stretched out his hand and activated his jade token under the praying mat. The screen in front of the rostrum suddenly sensed a trace of spirit energy fluctuation. After that, the number 99 changed to 100.
The disciples in the surroundings all heaved a sigh of relief. Since the members of the selection test were already decided, they only needed to make arrangements for those who were eliminated.
However, the main examiner, Duan Weiqi, was currently frowning. He was also the first to know the result. But when his divine sense swept over, his expression changed. He helplessly glanced at Niu Renjie who was standing beside him.
Niu Renjie also knew about this. A helpless expression flashed past his face. The two of them exchanged glances and instantly saw the thoughts in each other's eyes. They lowered their heads and their lips twitched a few times as though they were discussing how to deal with this.
Very quickly, the hundred cultivators were all escorted to the rostrum. The main examiner directly bestowed the outer sect disciple's token and robes.
After the formation below slowly retracted, those who had been eliminated woke up one after another. At this moment, they could only watch as the hundred cultivators who passed changed into the outer sect robes of the Lifire Palace and wore the sect's jade token. Just one wrong step and the difference between everyone was like the difference between heaven and earth.
Although there were some who were doubtful, the attendants of the Lifire Palace naturally weren't people to be trifled with. In just a few moments, they directly led the people out of the selection test.
As for those who remained, each of them could go to the exit and take a set of spirit stones. It could be considered that this trip wasn't in vain.
Yi Tian slowly stood up. After surveying the rostrum, he turned and left. Not long later, he walked to the exit of the selection test and stopped. After a short moment of waiting, Xia Minyu was personally carried out by Niu Renjie.
The people here were all stunned, they didn't know what was going on. Niu Renjie waved his hand and said, "The most important thing is for disciples of the dao heart Dao. You befriending people from the devil path is naturally not in the eyes eyes's eyes. Since you are still young, you befriended befriended is naturally not in the sect's eyes... because you befriending someone from the devil Dao, you's's naturally wouldn't the sect's you.....
As soon as these words came out, the crowd that was watching the excitement from the outside had a look of fear on their faces. It was not a big deal to make friends with people from the Devil Path after the Devil Disaster. Those low-level devil cultivators left behind by the devil army were all integrated into the Spirit World. The Spirit Cultivator Alliance also closed one eye and closed one eye to this. After all, they couldn't possibly kill all of them, right? This was why the new sect leader of the Lifire Palace built a city on the Army Breaker Mountain to house these devil cultivators.
It was just that for a low-level cultivator like Xia Minyu, honestly speaking, he didn't have the strength to befriend a devil cultivator. Just as he was about to defend himself, Niu Renjie pointed to a person in front of him and said, "Haven't you sensed the faint devil qi radiating from him? To think that I once took such good care of you. To think that you can't tell right from wrong. Today, I will remove you from the selection test. I hope that in the future, you won't remember this matter in your heart. Following your dao heart's guidance is the correct path."
To others, these words sounded very righteous. However, Yi Tian had a disdainful smile on his face. Niu Renjie was trying to distance himself from this matter. In the future, when Xia Minyu ascended to the position of sect leader, Niu Renjie couldn't wait for an opportunity to settle the score with him.
Although Niu Renjie appeared arrogant on the surface, he was actually extremely afraid in his heart. This was a task that would offend the future young sect leader of the Lifire Palace. It was just that he didn't dare to act rashly in front of him. He could only brace himself and follow Fu Zhao's orders.
Xia Minyu looked in the direction where Niu Renjie was pointing. At this moment, he saw a faint trace of black qi radiating from Yi Tian. At this moment, how could he still not understand the crux of the matter?
Very soon, everyone in the surroundings started to leave. They did their best to avoid the two people in front of them. However, Yi Tian's lips curled up in a smile. He walked up and surveyed the disappointed Xia Minyu before speaking, "I say, you might not even be able to enter the Lifire Palace. But this is good as well. Follow me to roam the Spirit World and take me as your master."
Xia Minyu had a look of anger on his face. After that, he coldly snorted and turned to leave. After taking a few steps, he heard Yi Tian transmitting his voice to him, "Little friend Xia, you have just experienced great joy and great sorrow in the mortal world. Naturally, it's hard for your heart to calm down. However, I feel that the path of cultivation isn't just about joining a sect. A moment of success or failure cannot be the standard to measure a person's strength. You must know that even the current sect leader of the Lifire Palace isn't from the main branch. He only returned to the sect after he succeeded in his cultivation outside the sect. "
After taking a few steps, Xia Minyu suddenly halted. After that, he inclined his head and sighed as though he was contemplating about something. After three breaths of time, he turned his head back. His countenance recovered slightly as he clasped his hands and said, "Brother Yi, please forgive me. I was too rash. Earlier, when I fell from the peak of my life to the bottom of the abyss, I truly couldn't endure it. But you are right. The path of cultivation isn't the only path. "
"Then what does little brother Xia mean?" Yi Tian smiled faintly and said, "If you follow me, you might be able to open up a new world for yourself."
Xia Minyu lowered his head and thought for a moment. He didn't reply directly. Instead, he asked, "Previously, that Niu Renjie said that I made friends with evil cultivators. I wonder if Brother Yi is true?"
Yi Tian smiled faintly and said without thinking, "Little brother Xia, why do you believe other people's words instead of using your own eyes to verify it?"
Xia Minyu's face was solemn as he sized up Yi Tian. Then, he asked, "I think Brother Yi has taken good care of me along the way and hasn't mistreated me. What if you are really a demonic cultivator and you covet what I have? To be honest, in terms of family background, I am far inferior to others. Even those people from the Xunyang Qiu Clan are inferior. In terms of aptitude, there are many people who are better than me. To be honest, I really don't understand this. "
"Some things can't be judged by appearances." Yi Tian waved his hand and said, "If you still believe me, then follow me. Actually, there are many benefits for you if you acknowledge me as your master. At least you can focus on cultivation as you wish and won't be troubled by the secular world." After speaking, Yi Tian turned around and ignored Xia Minyu's reaction. He walked toward the wine shop in the city alone. After three breaths, his Divine Sense sensed that Xia Minyu, who was behind him, was moving with difficulty and quickly caught up.
An hour later, the two of them came to a restaurant in the city called 'Morning Sun'. They found an empty seat on the top floor and sat down. Yi Tian knew that he was in a bad mood. Then, he ordered a spiritual food dish and poured two cups of immortal peach wine.
Xia Minyu didn't hold back at all. He took a cup and poured it into his stomach. He only recovered after drinking three cups in a row. The gaze in his eyes gradually became clear, as if he had understood many things. His gaze also became somewhat respectful when he looked at Lin Huang.
Yi Tian knew that his mental state had improved. Although his cultivation wasn't high and his lifespan was less than 20 years old, his mental state had improved a lot. But after the earlier events, his state of heart was much stronger compared to his peers. One could say that for those who passed the Lifire Palace's selection, none of them could surpass him in terms of state of heart.
Many people had heard what Niu Renjie said outside the selection venue. At this moment, there were many cultivators on the top floor of the 'Morning Sun' Restaurant. They naturally recognized the two of them. During this time, there were even some people who knew what was going on. However, due to the trace of black qi that Yi Tian revealed, they all thought that he was a loose cultivator from the devil race and didn't dare to provoke him.
After a short while, he heard some noises coming from the staircase. It seemed to be the three people from the Qiu Clan. Yi Tian came up with a plan. He had tested Xia Minyu many times before, so this one wouldn't make much of a difference.
Then, he said, "When the people from your Xunyang Qiu Clan come, how will you face them? Don't forget that they will definitely report your actions to the clan. Even if you take me as your master, you will implicate the clan. This matter must be investigated. "
After saying that, Yi Tian observed Xia Minyu's reaction. He guessed that Xia Minyu still had family ties that he hadn't tested yet. Now was the perfect time to test him. As expected, Xia Minyu was stunned when he heard this. Then, he lowered his head and fell into deep thought. After about three breaths, he suddenly raised his head and asked, "I wonder what level Master's cultivation will reach in the future?"
Hearing that he had changed the way he addressed Yi Tian, Yi Tian was naturally happy. However, after slightly restraining himself, he asked, "You should know the cultivation level of the Xunyang Xia Clan's Clan Head. It can be said that my cultivation level in the future will definitely not be lower than his. However, saying this is a bit of an exaggeration. I wonder if you believe it? "
"I believe it." Xia Minyu replied firmly, "Not to mention the strength of your cultivation method, just by looking at Master's bearing and the way you faced Yuanying cultivators, I know that you are not a person in a small pond. Even if your strength is not strong now, as long as your Dao Heart is firm, you will definitely achieve great things in the future."
"Oh, you are observant. That's right. However, there is still one thing you have not done." Yi Tian said with satisfaction, "You have not gone through the ceremony of taking me as your master. It is naturally inappropriate for you to rashly call me Master."
Xia Minyu's expression turned serious when he heard this. He immediately reacted and was about to stand up to propose a toast when he suddenly heard a strange voice behind him. "I was wondering who it was. Isn't this the Thousand Mile Colt of our Xunyang Xia Clan? We let you come here for the one in a thousand selection. I didn't expect you to not restrain yourself and even make friends with a demon cultivator. My Xunyang Qiu Clan's Qiu Lu is really ashamed to be associated with you. "
As soon as the voice fell, it attracted the attention of everyone on the top floor. Many people who knew what was going on restrained themselves at first. However, once someone took the lead, they began to whisper. There were even people who pointed at Xia Minyu and criticized him.
Yi Tian turned a deaf ear to these people's reactions and leisurely drank the wine on the table. On the other hand, Xia Minyu's face showed a little guilt. He then stood up and said, "Everyone, although I passed the selection, it is a pity that I can't enter the Lihuo Palace. It's just that opportunities can only be encountered by chance. Everyone has their own fate. Today, I will go through the ceremony of taking you as my master. I hope everyone can be my witness. "
After speaking, he walked to Yi Tian and knelt down in front of him. He knelt down three times and kowtowed nine times in front of everyone. Speaking of which, there were dozens of cultivators drinking together on the top floor. These people had all become witnesses.
During this period of time, there were still some people who criticized Xia Minyu's actions. There were also some who were rather fearful of Yi Tian's identity as a Devil Cultivator. However, there were also many who secretly praised Xia Minyu's performance.
After the ceremony was over, Xia Minyu knelt down and took the wine cup on the table. He gently toasted and said, "Master, please drink this cup and accept me as your disciple. From now on, Minyu will listen to your teachings and focus on cultivation. I will definitely advance further on the path of cultivation."
"Good, good disciple said it well." Yi Tian took the wine cup and drank it in one gulp. He laughed heartily and said, "This way, my orthodoxy will have a successor."
As he was talking, Yi Tian suddenly turned around and looked into the distance. He then said helplessly, "I really came at the wrong time."
He didn't say it loudly, but everyone present heard it clearly. Everyone was puzzled when they suddenly saw several escape lights flying from the city lord's mansion toward them.
After three breaths, those escape lights landed on the top floor of the restaurant. The person in the lead was wearing the Lifire Palace's inner disciple uniform. There were two flame symbols embroidered on his cuffs. Behind him was the examiner of Sunrise City this time, Duan Weiqi. It was just that there was only one flame symbol on his cuffs.
Everyone naturally knew Duan Weiqi's cultivation base. He was a late stage Divine Transformation cultivator, a genius of the Lifire Palace's inner sect. The identity of the person in the lead was naturally stronger than him.
As for the Sunrise City's inspector Niu Renjie, he was lucky enough to be in this group. His name naturally resounded among the low-level cultivators. But today, he was just an attendant standing at the back. It could be imagined that the identity of the person in the restaurant today must be at the same level as the Sunrise City Lord.
When Yi Tian saw this, he immediately gestured for Xia Minyu to sit below him. He then snorted impatiently.
The person in the lead hurriedly came forward and knelt down on one knee, "Sunrise City's guard, Jiang Shaobai, pays his respects to sect master and junior brother."
With just one sentence, the entire floor's spirit cultivators were frightened. Jiang Shaobai was an inner disciple of the Lifire Sect. He had been guarding Sunrise City for many years. Although he was elusive, any spirit cultivator who came to this place would more or less know of his great name.
But today, even he had to kneel down in front of the person in front of him. This person's identity was obvious. It was the new sect master of the Lifire Palace. In an instant, all the spirit cultivators in the restaurant sensed it. The surrounding people hurriedly knelt down in front of Yi Tian.
On the other hand, Xia Minyu's expression changed slightly. He asked in a trembling voice, "Are you really the legendary great cultivator, the number one person under the Mahayana Stage in the Spiritual Realm, Yi Tian Old Ancestor?"
Yi Tian touched his chin and said disdainfully, "Am I old? Also, when you see me in the future, you have to call me master. Don't be so unruly. You are my first disciple. If you don't know proper etiquette, in the future, when people see you, they will say that I did not teach well. "
Xia Minyu sucked in a breath of cold air. His eyes flashed with ecstasy as he hurriedly knelt down and thanked, "Thank you master for your teachings."
