The Mortal's Path to Immortality

The morning light is rising.

Spiritual mist rises in the Spirit Beast Sect, like a fairyland.

Today is the tenth day after the inner sect competition.

The Spirit Beast Sect’s ten-year disciple recruitment ceremony officially opened today.

The first step of the recruitment ceremony.

Organized by the Internal Affairs Hall, the Spirit Beast Sect selects disciples who have spiritual consciousness in the late stage of Qi Refining and goes to testing points across the Moon Country for spiritual root testing.

Those with spiritual root qualifications will be brought back to the Spirit Beast Sect.

After a series of procedures such as identity verification and spiritual root re-examination, they will all join the outer sect of the Spirit Beast Sect as outer sect disciples.

Among them, those with excellent talents will naturally receive different treatments. Some will be directly promoted to inner sect disciples, while others will be directly listed as true disciples by the foundation-building elders. They are all welcome.

For this recruitment ceremony.

Sect Master Lu Xiaoxiao organized a high-level meeting on the fifth floor of the cultivation pagoda.

As the head of the Alchemy Academy, Cao Rui naturally participated in this meeting and was also the only Qi Refining Stage present.

The fifth floor of the cultivation pagoda is the place with the most abundant spiritual energy in the entire Spirit Beast Sect.

Two cushions were lined up in a row, and Lu Xiaoxiao sat at the top.

Cao Rui was at the end on the right, facing Feng Yunfan, the sect elder with a low presence.

Cao Rui knew that although he was considered a high-level member of the Spirit Beast Sect, his cultivation was still in the Qi Refining Stage, and he was young. If he really participated in the meeting, it would only add to the joke.

Therefore, he just watched his eyes and noses, and just made up the numbers.

"Cao Rui, you are the head of the Alchemy Institute."

"Recovery pills should be prepared in sufficient quantities to supply the disciples who are going out to perform inspection tasks." Lu Xiaoxiao may be afraid that Cao Rui is too bored, so he opened his mouth to remind him.

Cao Rui nodded slightly: "Don't worry, Master, the Huiyuan Pills are already prepared in sufficient quantities and will be distributed tomorrow."

"That's good." Lu Xiaoxiao nodded.

"Xu Ye, your Law Enforcement Institute must be vigilant within the Moon Country to prevent the demon cultivators from taking the opportunity to cause trouble."

Xu Ye, the head of the Law Enforcement Institute, nodded in response.

Although the spiritual energy of Yunzhou's immortal cultivation world has declined, demon cultivators still exist.

The methods of demon cultivators often harm others and benefit themselves, and their methods are cruel. Ordinary cultivators are no match for demon cultivators.

After the meeting, the Alchemy Institute also had to respond to several cultivators who were going out for inspection.

However, due to the special situation of the Alchemy Academy, the Alchemy Academy needs to send five people.

Cao Rui sent Zhang Chenyi to bring four Alchemy Academy disciples in the late stage of Qi Refining to support the sect's spiritual root detection.

The second day.

Nearly a hundred cultivators in the late stage of Qi Refining from the Spirit Beast Sect set out from the Spirit Beast Sect and went to monitoring points in various parts of the Moon Country to start detection.

If nothing unexpected happens, after the detection is completed, with the population of the Moon Country, this time it should be able to bring back about a hundred children of the right age with the talent for cultivating immortals.

At the same time.

Luoyue Xiuxianfang.

Wei Chang, who rushed to this place all the way, followed the address left by the mysterious man.

In a teahouse in the place, he met the black-robed man who had bewitched him before.

This person was thin and small, covered in a black robe, with a haggard face, like an old man who was about to die.

The only thing was that his eyes were not cloudy, but they emitted cold light from time to time, which made people alert.

The old man looked at Wei Chang jokingly: "Hehe, when I first saw you, I knew you would come to me."

"You were so desperate to collect spiritual medicine at that time, and now you are so unwilling, right?"

The old man's words penetrated deeply into Wei Chang's heart.

It made Wei Chang feel like a plaything in the eyes of others.

But, it doesn't matter, as long as he can achieve his goal.

Wei Chang looked at the old man in front of him vigilantly, "I can agree to help you place the array plate, and you will give me the spiritual stones you agreed to, and you have to do another thing for me."

"What is it?" The old man put away his joking tone and spoke calmly.

"You are demon cultivators, so I ask you to help me get rid of two people, one is the head of the Spirit Beast Sect's Alchemy Institute, named Cao Rui, and the other is Sun Haoran, a new disciple of the Alchemy Institute."

Wei Chang's heart was already twisted with jealousy for the two people who indirectly ruined his dream that he had been striving for for decades.

"What are you kidding? The head of the first institute of the Spirit Beast Sect, who is at the foundation-building stage, is asking us to make this unequal transaction just for the value of your array plate? It's really stupid!"

Hearing what Wei Chang said, the cunning old man in black robe couldn't help cursing.

Wei Chang suppressed his anger and explained, "That Cao Rui is only at the late stage of Qi Refining. He was listed as the head of the first academy because of his good talent in alchemy."

"That Sun Haoran is even at the middle stage of Qi Refining."

"You, can't even get rid of two Qi Refining stages?"

The black-robed old man frowned when he heard this. If what Wei Chang said was true, the deal could be reached.

"How about it, is the deal still going on?" Wei Chang asked.

The black-robed old man confirmed again, "Is the Cao Rui you said really at the Qi Refining stage?"

"I can be sure of that." Wei Chang nodded to confirm.

The black-robed old man wandered around for a while, suddenly looked at Wei Chang and said, "Let's trade!"

Then the black-robed old man and Wei Chang each made a Taoist oath.

Daoxin oath is a promise made by a cultivator with his own Daoxin.

Daoxin oath of a cultivator cannot be made casually.

If the Daoxin oath is violated, it will have a great impact on one's cultivation state of mind.

In order to better ensure the transaction, the old man in black robe also added the "Life Weaving Shadow Bug" to the Daoxin oath.

‘The Life-Weaving Shadow Bug’ is a first-level contracted spirit bug, transparent, with a faint blue light, and the size of a little finger.

This spirit bug is born with the power to sense people’s hearts and weave contracts. It can sense the content of the heart oath, and is often used by cultivators to conclude important and unbreakable covenants or contracts.

Along with the two people’s Dao heart oath, the Life-Weaving Shadow Bug merged into the eyebrows of the two people.

Wei Chang swallowed his saliva.

The spirit bug entered the brain, and there was no room for turning back. He had to release the array of the demon cultivator.

If he didn’t finish the content of the Dao heart oath, the Life-Weaving Shadow Bug would use the power of the contract to control Wei Chang’s brain and turn it into a paste.

After completing the contract, the old man in black robe was obviously relieved.

He took out a storage bag and handed it to Wei Chang.

"Here is the array plate."

"After you go in, you have to do this to arrange the array plate..."

Wei Chang paused for a while, and suddenly got angry and said: "Why is there such a complicated arrangement process? Don't you just say to put down the array plate?"

Such a complicated arrangement process, if it is discovered by the law enforcement officers, he, Wei Changjiu, will really die without a burial place.

Wei Chang wanted to take revenge on the Alchemy Institute, Cao Rui and Sun Haoran, but he didn't want to leave the Spirit Beast Sect.

The black-robed old man laughed: "It's too late, the contract has been signed. If you leave without completing the arrangement, do you think the contracted spirit insects will explode?"

Cunning demon cultivator! Wei Chang cursed angrily in his heart, and finally accepted the reality.

These days, a large number of sect disciples have gone out to perform spiritual root detection tasks, and the sect should be short of manpower.

It's better to take this opportunity to go back and arrange the array plate quickly.

Wei Chang asked the black-robed old man for a thousand spirit stones, and immediately left Luoyue Xiuxianfang, riding the Thousand Feather Crane towards the Spirit Beast Sect.
