Her name is Yan Ting, and she is also an outer disciple of Huashen Sect.
"Really." Liu An nodded, as if he didn't want to say anything more.
"I heard that people who practice martial arts are called warriors, and they are divided into six realms, namely skin, flesh, tendons, bone marrow and blood. Senior Brother Liu, when you were still a mortal, what level did you reach in your practice?"
Liu An said expressionlessly: "Bone training."
He actually didn't want to say much, not because of anything else, but because he was seasick.
This flying boat was refined by the elders of the sect. It can reach a hundred meters in an instant. There are restrictions on the outside that can block high-altitude strong winds, so they can stand on the deck safely.
But that didn't stop him from getting seasick.
To be honest, his stomach was churning and he was ready to vomit at any moment. In order not to lose face in front of outsiders, he put on a stern face and pretended to be cool.
"How powerful is the Bone Training Realm? Can it compare to the Great Perfection of Qi Training?" Yan Ting, who had her hair in pigtails, seemed very curious.
She had lived in the sect since she was a child, and she learned about the outside world basically from books, or got a few bits and pieces from some outer disciples.
Faced with her questions, Liu An really wanted to say, "Don't ask anymore, I'm going to vomit if you ask me again."
But the other party was the daughter of an inner sect elder, and Liu An could not afford to offend her, so he could only look for help to the person who spoke first - Wei Tao, who was also the person in charge of recruiting new students for the Liuzhen branch of the Huashen Sect.
"Junior Sister Yan, how can a mortal compare to an immortal cultivator?"
Wei Tao smiled and said, "The spiritual energy of immortal cultivators enters their bodies and transforms themselves from the inside out. This is beyond the reach of ordinary people."
"Even if a mortal reaches the highest level of martial arts training, the blood training level, at most it is comparable to the middle stage of Qi training, about the fifth or sixth level."
"It's a long way to go."
"Yeah." Liu An nodded.
He was young and frivolous at the time, and thought that with his martial arts skills at the Bone Training Realm, there was no place in the world that he could not go.
Despite his father's opposition, he went out alone to gain experience and met an old man outside.
The old man saw that he had extraordinary talent and insisted on taking him as his disciple. He was impatient and felt that the old man had weak energy and was not qualified to take him as his disciple.
As a result, when they started fighting, he couldn't even get close to the old man. Later he found out that the old man was an immortal cultivator from the Huashen Sect.
It was also because of this that he was accepted into the Huashen Sect and became an outer disciple.
"Alas, the Ascension Ceremony takes place every twenty years. I hope I can recruit a few geniuses this time." Wei Tao sighed, "Otherwise, I'm afraid I won't be able to collect all the materials for the Foundation Establishment Pill."
The foundation-building pill is extremely precious and can be said to be a must-have item for those who want to move from Qi training to foundation-building. However, there are also true peerless geniuses who do not use the foundation-building pill and rely solely on their own to enter the foundation-building ranks.
But although Wei Tao considers himself a genius, he is still far from that level.
"Ah, Senior Brother, the Ascension Ceremony is held once every twenty years. This is too long." Yan Ting said in surprise.
This time she went out, she got the opportunity after acting like a spoiled child to her father for a long time.
When she heard that he was going to recruit new disciples for the Huashen Sect, she couldn't help but be curious.
She originally thought that the recruitment of disciples should be once every two years, if not once a year, but she didn't expect it to be once every twenty years!
"Twenty years. The life span of ordinary people is generally not that long. Living to sixty is good enough."
Yan Ting said: "So, they can only experience three or four ascension ceremonies in their lifetime."
Without going into other details, her life span so far has not been as long as that required for a complete ascension ceremony.
"Junior sister, you are wrong. Mortals only have one chance." Wei Tao shook his head.
"Ah, what's wrong?" Yan Ting asked.
"The rules of our sect are that if you don't become an immortal by the age of 20, you will have no hope for the rest of your life."
Wei Tao looked down at the scenery underground and sighed, "The Ascension Ceremony is held every twenty years, how many mortals can pass the selection?"
"If you don't become an immortal by the age of twenty... then your life will be hopeless." Yan Ting murmured.
She is the daughter of a sect elder and has dual spiritual roots. She can be said to have been born with a silver spoon in her mouth.
But even so, she also felt the cruelty of this sentence.
"The Ascension Ceremony is held every twenty years. Some mortals may have missed the last ceremony and waited until this one started, thinking they finally had a chance."
"But I never expected that I'm already over 20 years old and don't meet the requirements," said Wei Tao.
He had climbed up from the bottom and knew how precious the opportunity to become an immortal was.
But the more he knew, the more he lamented for mortals.
"Brother Wei, if you don't become an immortal by the age of 20, is there really no hope for you to become an immortal?" Yan Ting asked.
At this point, Wei Tao smiled and glanced at her, "You are still young, and there are many things in the sect that we haven't told you. I'm telling you these words, and I'm also telling Junior Brother Liu."
"But just listen to it and don't tell anyone, including the fellow students inside."
Wei Tao took a look inside the flying boat and said.
The Huashen Sect recruits new members every twenty years, targeting all those within its sphere of influence.
Wei Tao is only responsible for Liu Town and the surrounding villages, and there are other people to take care of other places.
But even so, it is impossible for there to be only three of them. Just arranging daily life, driving the flying boat, etc. require manpower.
Therefore, there are many servants inside the flying boat and some newcomers in the Qi training stage who need training.
Logically speaking, servants are not considered human beings, but Wei Tao feels that since they are all members of the sect, it is okay to call them junior brothers or sisters.
"Okay, I understand." Yan Ting said.
Liu An also nodded silently and said "hmm".
"Haha, you know, in the past, not to mention twenty years old, even thirty or fifty years old could have entered the immortal path."
"Ah?!" Yan Ting opened her mouth slightly.
Didn’t I say before that if you don’t enter the immortal gate by the age of twenty, you will never have another chance?
Why are you saying now that fifty years old is also okay?
But this time she learned her lesson and did not interrupt Wei Tao, but let him continue speaking.
"You should know the Blood Demon who once dominated the world and suddenly disappeared." Wei Tao asked, changing the subject.
"Yes, I know that this person is on the Demon Hunting Rankings. He seems to be ranked third."
The "Demon Hunting Ranking" is jointly compiled by several major immortal sects, and it contains some old demons who have been around for many years.
These old demons use extremely cruel methods to pursue their immortal path, but their realm is too high to be eliminated.
So several major immortal sects simply issued a bounty order and made a list. As long as you kill the people on the list, you can go to any immortal sect to receive a huge reward.
"The Blood Demon once massacred an entire city overnight in order to forge the Ten Thousand Souls Banner. Several elders from our sect went to rescue him but were also killed by him."
Wei Tao sighed, "The Blood Demon is extremely powerful, but you would never have thought that he was already seventy years old when he embarked on the path to immortality!"
"what?!"
Not to mention Yan Ting, even Liu An, whose stomach was churning, no longer felt dizzy and didn't want to vomit anymore.
There is no other reason, it's just that the news is too shocking.
He entered the immortal path at the age of seventy, slaughtered the elders of their sect, and stirred up the whole world with his own strength. If Wei Tao hadn't said it, they wouldn't have dared to believe it.
"Then Senior Brother Wei, how did the Blood Demon die in the end?" Yan Ting asked.
Who killed such a terrifying guy in the end?
Wei Tao shook his head and said, "I don't know."
"do not know?"
"The Blood Demon had already reached the Golden Core Divine Movement Stage at that time. He was only one step away from forging the Nascent Soul and becoming one of the best masters in the world. But after the blood sacrifice of the city, he disappeared."
Wei Tao said: "Some elders of the sect believe that he may have been in seclusion to break through the Nascent Soul and died."
Even though the Blood Demon was extremely cruel, when they heard the words "death and disappearance", the eyes of everyone present dimmed.
They were not depressed for the blood demon, but for themselves, for their illusory path to immortality.
The path to becoming an immortal is like this, with a cliff at every step. If you step over it, you will naturally take another step forward. If you fall off the cliff, you will be crushed to pieces.
"If that's the case, why did the sect set a twenty-year rule and not give those mortals more opportunities?"
Hearing this, Wei Tao's expression froze and he said seriously, "Because of resources."
"resource?"
"From ancient times to now, the resources in the world of immortal cultivation have been decreasing day by day. If you start the immortal path before the age of 20, you will consume very few resources. If you start the immortal path after the age of 20, the resources consumed may be ten times that of the former."
Wei Tao said: "You and I are both cultivators, fighting for our lives. If others consume more resources, the resources we obtain will naturally decrease."
"That's why the sect has set up a ceremony to promote immortality every twenty years."
This is also the reason why he hopes to recruit more geniuses.
The more geniuses he recruits, the greater his contribution as the person in charge, the more rewards he will receive, and the more chances he will have to gather medicinal materials before his death and hire someone to refine the foundation-building pill.
If he could recruit a disciple with natural spiritual roots, his merits could be exchanged for a foundation-building pill.
"But how is that possible?" Wei Tao smiled inwardly, thinking that his wish was a bit unrealistic.
The entire Huashen Sect has not recruited any disciples with natural spiritual roots for a hundred years.
He was only in charge of Liu Town and the surrounding villages, so where could he get such an opportunity?
Yan Ting heard what he said and asked again: "Since it is only the consumption of resources that has increased, does it also mean that under certain conditions, the age limit can be ignored?"
Wei Tao looked at him and smiled, "Of course, just like you."
"Me?" Yan Ting didn't know what he meant.
"You are the daughter of an elder. Not to mention that you are not yet twenty years old and have not yet entered the immortal path, even if you are over twenty years old and have not yet entered the immortal gate, the sect will pay a price to let you in."
"This is reality." Liu An on the side sighed inwardly.
The servants in the flying boat work desperately just to enter the immortal gate before the age of twenty, and Yan Ting on the deck is their starting point.
No, before the end.
Even so, the mortals on earth envy these menial jobs, because at least menial jobs have a starting point, but mortals don't even know where to compete.
The gap between people is sometimes even greater than that between people and dogs.
"I will never break the sect's rules. I relied on my own talent to enter the immortal sect." Yan Ting stuck out her tongue, seeming dissatisfied with Wei Tao's statement.
"Of course, senior brother, I believe you are not that kind of person." Wei Tao praised, making the latter smile happily.
Only Liu An, who was standing nearby, could see it clearly.
Yan Ting's talent most likely comes from her parents.
The children of immortal cultivators are generally more likely to embark on the path to immortality. The better the talents of their parents, the better the talents of their children will be.
But ordinary people don’t have this opportunity.
"Except for your situation, if your talent is high enough, the sect can make an exception."
"What kind of talent is required?" Yan Ting asked.
Wei Tao replied: "For those with dual spiritual roots, the age limit can be relaxed to between 20 and 40 years old."
"The specific length of time to relax the limit depends on the quality of the dual spiritual roots."
"As for the natural spiritual roots or the special spiritual roots..."
"How is it?" Yan Ting was a little curious.
The Huashen Sect hasn't had any newcomers with natural spiritual roots for a hundred years, and the most they have are those with top-notch double spiritual roots.
Although the dual spiritual roots seem to be not far from the heavenly spiritual roots, they are actually a huge gap.
"As long as you are not dead, the sect will lead you to the path of immortality!"
Chapter 12: Ascension to immortality, ascension to immortality!
The speed of the flying boat was astonishing, it could travel a hundred meters in an instant. If we calculate it as six hours a day, that would be more than four thousand kilometers, so traveling ten thousand miles a day would be no problem.
Therefore, even though the Huashen Sect had a huge sphere of influence, Wei Tao and others arrived in Liu Town within the specified time.
