"you……"
Seeing that several people were about to quarrel again, a short and fat figure suddenly walked in. Seeing this, the sect leader Qiao Shuzhen was the first to react and said with a bow:
"Meet Zhenhai Zhenjun."
"Hey, Xiao Shuzhen, why are you being so polite to me? Don't do this again next time." said the short and fat old man.
“Master, could you please stop calling me Xiao Shuzhen…” Qiao Shuzhen’s old face turned red.
He is hundreds of years old, and it is a bit uncomfortable for him to be addressed like that in private. If he is addressed like that in public, how can he face it?
"Okay, Xiao Shuzhen."
Qian Zhenhai waved his hand, stepped forward, and then said: "What are you arguing about, fellow Taoists?"
"Humph, Zhenhai, you came here by chance. Tell me, what should we do with the disciples with heavenly spiritual roots this year?"
Seeing this, Qiao Shuzhen below hurriedly explained to him what had just happened.
In response, Qian Zhenhai laughed and said, "This is simple. The master chooses the apprentice, and the apprentice also chooses the master."
"How many years has it been since our Huashen Sect has produced a disciple with a natural spiritual root?"
"As far as I know, not only our sect, but also the other two sects and factions have recruited more than one disciple with a natural spiritual root."
"I don't need to explain what this means."
Qian Zhenhai's words made the others silent.
There must be something wrong when things are abnormal. The appearance of so many geniuses will probably cause unpredictable turmoil in the world of immortal cultivation.
“This is a time of great contention.”
"Not only should the disciples work hard, but we old men should also contribute our share of strength."
"Oh, you mean..." an old voice asked.
Qian Zhenhai did not answer, but looked at the sect leader Qiao Shuzhen and asked, "After each Ascension Ceremony, is there an entrance test for new students?"
"Reply to Master Zhen, there is such a thing."
Sect Master Qiao Shuzhen said: "The talents and numbers of the disciples recruited this time are far greater than in the past. I am preparing to reform the assessment method."
"Yes." Qian Zhenhai nodded. "In that case, how about the top five disciples choosing one of the Nascent Souls to be their master?"
Those who rank high in the assessment will receive rewards, but there has never been such a reward.
Firstly, this matter has to be voluntary on the part of the Yuanying masters and cannot be forced. Secondly, these Yuanying masters do not look down on those former disciples.
But this time it’s different, there are too many talented disciples.
"This..." The other Yuanying Zhenjuns were a little hesitant.
"Anyway, you won't achieve anything after arguing for a long time, and you might even have to fight in the end. Don't destroy the thousands of years of foundation of our Huashen Sect." Qian Zhenhai said.
The others thought about it and felt that what he said made sense.
Firstly, as Nascent Soul masters, if they were to come to blows, not to mention the destructive power, there is a greater chance that the enemy forces would find their flaws, which would be bad for both the sect and them.
Secondly, the disciples recruited this time are indeed extraordinary. Those who can make it into the top five are probably no less qualified than when they were young, or even stronger. It is not a loss to accept them as disciples.
"Okay, let's do as Manami says."
After several people made an agreement, the noisy sounds disappeared, and the figures gradually dispersed. Soon, only the sect leader, Qiao Shuzhen and Zhenhai Zhenjun were left in the entire hall.
"Hey, thank you very much for your help, otherwise..." Qiao Shuzhen said with a bow.
These supreme elders all have strange tempers and were true geniuses when they were young. Unless they really fight, no one will submit to anyone else.
But if a fight really breaks out, they might be fine, but he will be dead.
"It doesn't matter. Those old immortals can't improve their realm or increase their skills. They can only take advantage of each other in verbal battles."
These words made the sect leader Qiao Shuzhen ashamed. Since this concerned Yuanying Zhenjun, who would dare to slander him like this? Only Qian Zhenhai, who was also a Yuanying Zhenjun, could say this.
"Then Master, I will go down and make arrangements." Qiao Shuzhen didn't want to get involved in Nascent Soul affairs.
After all, he is just a Jindan, and if he gets involved, he will be shattered to pieces if he is not careful.
"Wait a minute, I have some things I need you to arrange regarding that disciple named Xia Ansheng." Qian Zhenhai stopped him and instructed.
"True Lord, please speak."
"He is old. Although he has a natural spiritual root, it will be more difficult for him to embark on the path of immortality than for others."
"Besides, it's poison-related. Our sect doesn't have a Nascent Soul True Lord who has achieved enlightenment through poison-related methods, so it's difficult to help him in this regard."
Qian Zhenhai thought for a moment and took out a storage bag from his pocket. "There are some resources in here. Please give them to him for me. Don't say it's from me. Just say it's a reward from the sect for the disciples with natural spiritual roots."
"How can this be possible, Master Zhen, this is you..."
"It's okay, go ahead." Qian Zhenhai waved his hand.
Seeing this, Sect Leader Qiao Shuzhen had no choice but to accept the things and leave.
In this huge hall, Qian Zhenhai was the only one there at the moment. Looking at his back, he seemed to be somewhat lonely.
"Hua Shen Sect, Hua Shen Sect, can it still be called Hua Shen Sect without Hua Shen?"
"Before the ancestor passed away, he entrusted the sect to me."
"Am I really sure I can protect the sect well?"
Qian Zhenhai sighed. He had no confidence at all when the era of great strife came.
"I hope that among these disciples, there will be a true genius who can protect the sect well."
The three sects of immortality and the two sects of demons are the five top forces in the world of immortal cultivation.
There are tens of thousands of immortal cultivation sects, but only these five stand at the top so far. Why is that?
This is because these five sects all have ancestors who have attained the state of transformation.
If the spirit does not appear, the Nascent Soul will be the master.
But if the God of Transformation appears, can the Nascent Soul still be called the master?
But no one knew that one of the three immortal sects, called Huashen Sect, had ceased to exist for a long time.
Most of the strength we have nowadays is just pretend.
Other Nascent Soul masters in the sect might have some guesses, but they were just guesses. The only one who truly knew that the ancestor was gone was Qian Zhenhai.
He didn't tell anyone about this, otherwise it might cause unrest.
After all, they were both Nascent Souls, so he couldn't force the other party to do anything. He also had no idea what these Nascent Souls would do once they knew the ancestor was gone.
The human heart is the most difficult to guess.
"Xia Ansheng...you look a bit like me when I was young. I hope your journey to immortality goes smoothly."
Qian Zhenhai walked forward and lit a stick of incense on the statue above the hall.
At this moment, he was not a powerful Nascent Soul who could call the wind and rain, but a helpless old man who prayed for peace in the sect.
…………
"Fellow Daoist Ansheng, this is a reward from the sect. Please sign for it."
A figure appeared in front of Tang Ansheng, holding a palm-sized storage bag in his hand.
Chapter 5 Qigong Master Tang Ansheng (k)
"Fellow Daoist Ansheng, my name is Li Bing, Muzi Li, Bing in the Art of War, and I am an inner sect disciple of our sect."
The person who spoke was a middle-aged man wearing a white robe and a black token hanging around his waist. He looked very easy-going.
At this moment, he was looking at Tang Ansheng with envy, and then said: "I am giving these things to you by order of the Sect Master."
"The sect's newborn ceremony has not yet begun. Before that, I will be temporarily responsible for looking after Daoist Ansheng. If Daoist Ansheng has any questions about cultivation, you can come and ask me."
These words were spoken in a very humble manner, but if an outer disciple of Huashen Sect heard them, they would simply find it incredible.
Because all inner disciples of Huashen Sect are in the foundation-building stage, no matter how amazing an outer disciple is, he cannot become an inner disciple unless he has cultivated the foundation-building stage.
Moreover, when an outer disciple meets an inner disciple, no matter who he is, he must call him "Uncle Master".
In the world of cultivating immortals, seniority is not important; only the one who has achieved success comes first.
However, some special relationships, such as direct blood relatives, close friends, etc., are a different matter.
Tang Ansheng looked at the Taoist in white robe in front of him, nodded slightly, and then took the things in his hand - a storage bag and two books.
The storage bag was not big, only the size of a palm, and Tang Ansheng couldn't see what was inside.
As for the books, one is titled "Gui Yuan Jue" and the other is "Benzong Handbook".
Seeing Tang Ansheng collect the things, and thinking that he was still a mortal, Li Bing added: "Fellow Daoist Ansheng, this storage bag is a space magic weapon. The sect's rewards are all in it."
"Just input spiritual energy and it will open."
"Spiritual energy?" Tang Ansheng asked.
"Well, the air that fills the world is called spiritual energy. If a mortal can draw the energy into his body, he can embark on the path to immortality."
Then Li Bing said: "This Guiyuan Jue is the basic method of our sect to draw qi into the body. Every disciple of Huashen Sect knows it."
"Fellow Daoist Ansheng, do not underestimate this basic method. The great way is simple. This method was obtained through the practice of countless predecessors and is most suitable for mortals to draw Qi into the body."
"Yeah." Tang Ansheng nodded. He remembered the two kinds of particles between heaven and earth that he had sensed through breathing method before. One of them could be absorbed by him, which he called internal force particles.
The other thing that cannot be absorbed is probably the spiritual energy.
"Fellow Daoist Ansheng, please follow me. I will take you to where you live." Li Bing said, "On the way, you can also talk to Daoist Ansheng about the sect's affairs."
As a foundation-building cultivator, Li Bing treated a mortal, especially an old mortal, almost equally. This was almost unbelievable. If other foundation-building cultivators who did not understand the situation saw this, they might think he was crazy.
However, Li Bing knew that the person in front of him was a disciple with natural spiritual roots who was personally taught by the sect master and needed to be taken good care of.
The Huashen Sect has not had a disciple with a natural spiritual root for hundreds of years, but there were some in the past. According to records, as long as the disciple with a natural spiritual root did not die on the way, he would basically achieve golden elixir.
Even though the person in front of him was over seventy years old and too late to embark on the path to immortality, he should have no problem cultivating to the stage of building a foundation. By then, the two of them would naturally be of the same generation.
Therefore, when Li Bing called out "fellow Taoist" he did so sincerely.
Of course, this is also due to personality reasons. Many inner disciples in the foundation-building stage are introverted and look down on others.
In the eyes of those people, a genius is a genius, but he is just a genius who has not yet grown up. Even though they know that the other person's future achievements may surpass theirs, they still don't think highly of the other person in their hearts.
After all, a genius is just a mortal before he grows up. How can he be compared with them who are building their foundation?
Letting this kind of person take care of things might cause any problems, so the leader of Huashen Sect, Qiao Shuzhen, specially found someone with an easy-going personality who never causes trouble, that is, Li Bing.
Perhaps to take care of Tang Ansheng, Li Bing walked very slowly, and even Tang Ansheng's seventy-year-old body could easily keep up.
"Fellow Daoist Ansheng, the storage bag in your hand has no restrictions, so it can be opened by injecting spiritual energy. But this also means that other cultivators can open it easily."
Li Bing warned: "Fellow Daoist Ansheng, remember to keep your things safe and don't show off your wealth."
"Although you are currently in my Huashen Sect and a disciple of my Huashen Sect, you should still be on guard against others."
"Of course." Tang Ansheng nodded.
In fact, Li Bing didn’t know what was in the storage bag. He only knew that it was a reward given by the sect.
He thought that even if the sect wanted to reward him, they would not give too much. After all, although Tang Ansheng had a natural spiritual root, he was still just a mortal. It would be useless to give him too much.
Yes, Yuanying Zhenjun Qian Zhenhai also thought so, but Qian Zhenhai was a Yuanying powerhouse, and the "not much" in his eyes, in the eyes of an inner disciple like Li Bing, was enough to make any inner disciple jealous and crazy.
Of course, they could only be jealous and crazy, but they dared not do anything. The sect's laws were there, and unless they wanted to die, they had better stay here honestly.
Tang Ansheng followed the other person and found that there was no one in such a big place.
"Is there no one else here?" Tang Ansheng asked.
Li Bing replied: "The sect covers a huge area and is divided into many areas. The outermost circle is where the outer disciples live, and the inner circle is where the inner disciples live. We are now in the inner disciples' living area."
"The two parts are actually of similar size, but the number of people is very different. The number of inner disciples is very small, and most of them are either on missions outside or practicing in caves."
"It's normal for Daoist Ansheng not to see people."
"Yeah." Tang Ansheng nodded, thinking that there was no difference between immortal cultivators and ordinary people, so why should they be special? Or perhaps immortal cultivators were transformed from ordinary people.
It's normal that there isn't much difference.
