Go to become a god, let me marry into the sect

After reading the letter, Gu An looked slightly puzzled.

Looking down again, he noticed the paper doll had already taken out the jade pendant and the box.

The box most likely contained the elixir.

The jade pendant should be a treasure that could prolong life.

Both items were priceless.

One hundred and eighty years.

For many, it was a long time.

Comparable to the lifespan of a typical Foundation Establishment cultivator.

But it was only used to cultivate the Qi Sea Heavenly罡.

This... was truly extravagant.

Under normal circumstances, would anyone really cultivate the Qi Sea Heavenly罡?

Starting from a young age during the Qi Refining stage, it was possible to complete the first volume within a hundred years.

But completing the second volume within the Foundation Establishment stage was simply unbelievable.

Five hundred years was one thing.

The main thing was having to stay in the Foundation Establishment stage for five hundred years, which was very difficult.

Who would disregard the opportunity to advance to the Golden Core stage and choose to cultivate the Qi Sea Heavenly罡?

What if they failed to complete the second volume of the Qi Sea Heavenly罡 within five hundred years?

Moreover, five hundred years was too expensive.

Ordinary people simply couldn't do it.

This was just the Foundation Establishment stage, what terrifying years would the Golden Core stage require?

Would anyone disregard everything else for the sake of the Qi Sea Heavenly罡?

Gu An didn't know, but he knew that truly mastering the Qi Sea Heavenly罡 was too difficult.

However, the spirit stone matter was also perplexing to Gu An.

If they could casually give away such a good thing, why would they lack spirit stones?

Did they not want him to be rich?

With a sigh, Gu An kept a hundred spirit stones for himself and gave the remaining thousand plus spirit stones to the paper doll.

The other party accepted them all without question.

Not knowing where to put them.

With that, the little figure floated up and quickly disappeared.

Gu An had no idea where it went.

Nor how it would follow the noodles back.

After casually taking some peanuts and attaching the Qi Sea Heavenly罡 to them, Gu An tossed them to the noodles.

The noodles ate them with a satisfied expression, unusually excited.

It seemed this time the food was especially delicious.

After that, it happily returned to the pond.

Gu An went out and found a place to test the power of his wrist.

The boulder shattered directly.

The powerful force was more than twice as strong as before.

It could really tear a person apart.

After that, it was simply a matter of nourishing his cultivation and familiarizing himself with his current realm and power.

In order not to affect the outer sect, he didn't even go logging.

Chu Meng shouldn't deceive him.

May fifteenth.

The day to select inner disciples.

Gu An simply washed up and left some stubble.

Looking in the mirror, he found himself quite handsome.

Although not young, and with a bit of white hair.

But he was indeed not bad.

Of course, ordinary fairies still wouldn't fancy him.

After all, compared to young and handsome men, the difference was not small, and there was no reason to choose him for his age or stubble.

After changing his clothes, Gu An found Senior Sister Chen Yue.

At this time, there were a total of nineteen outer sect disciples in the room, including him.

Seven of them were fairies.

There were actually eight Foundation Establishment cultivators.

Gu An was a bit surprised, had eight more Foundation Establishment cultivators appeared in just one year?

If these eight were not selected, wouldn't that mean eight Foundation Establishment cultivators competing for three inner sect spots?

However, the possibility shouldn't be high.

Only one of these people was about the same age as him, and might be eliminated.

These people were more or less acquainted with each other.

Seeing Gu An enter, everyone looked over.

They quickly withdrew their gazes.

No one recognized him.

They weren't curious either, because there were always people who would secretly improve their cultivation and then participate in the inner sect disciple recruitment at the last moment.

They didn't take Gu An's cultivation and age to heart.

After all, there was no competition in the first round of selection.

Being valued was enough.

The second round was the competition.

After waiting for a while, three more people arrived, all of whom were women this time.

One was already in the early stage of Foundation Establishment.

So there were a total of twenty-two people, ten women and twelve men.

Nine Foundation Establishment cultivators.

"Everyone's here, let's go," Chen Yue, who was reading, stood up and said.

Under Chen Yue's leadership, Gu An and the others walked all the way up the mountain, finally stopping in front of a grand hall.

"Remember, once you enter, you are not allowed to whisper once people arrive, also do not take the initiative to speak unless asked, do what they say, do not explain too much, otherwise it will be detrimental to you," Chen Yue reminded everyone, looking at them.

Then she turned her gaze to Gu An and another middle-aged man: "You are not young, there is a certain probability of being eliminated, don't worry too much, there are still three places in the second round, Foundation Establishment cultivators will basically enter the inner sect, it's just a matter of time."

Gu An and the other middle-aged man thanked Senior Sister Chen Yue.

After that, Chen Yue no longer lingered: "After you enter, whether you succeed or fail, someone will lead you away."

Everyone nodded and thanked her in unison.

With that, they walked inside.

The inside was spacious and fragrant, the spiritual energy was much richer than outside.

The white floor and magnificent walls made everyone feel inexplicably fearful.

The hall was solemn and dignified, definitely not a place to make noise at will.

Gu An was silent, and the others dared not whisper either.

Arriving in the hall, everyone didn't know what to do.

They didn't even know whether to stand or sit.

Of the twenty-two people, four or five were restless.

Gu An stood quietly, not feeling anything.

He roughly had an answer as to whether he could enter.

He wasn't in a hurry.

After waiting for a while, everyone finally calmed down, and then someone walked in from outside.

There were a total of nine people.

All of them were young disciples, but their cultivation was not weak at all.

Gu An discovered that each one of them exceeded the Golden Core stage.

As for how much they exceeded, it was impossible to guess.

When they arrived at the high platform, everyone saluted and said: "Greetings, Senior Brothers and Senior Sisters."

Two people were a step slower, but also imitated them in a decent manner.

They were a little nervous, feeling that they might not have performed well enough.

At this time, the leading young man revealed a gentle smile and said: "Junior Brothers and Junior Sisters are the future of the sect, there is no need to be restrained.

I am the person in charge of this inner sect selection, you can call me Senior Brother Ye."

Everyone lowered their heads and did not speak.

Then Senior Brother Ye continued: "The inner sect wants to select people who are naturally virtuous and talented, outstanding disciples who are proficient in both literary and martial arts.

Therefore, Junior Brothers and Junior Sisters over the age of forty can step forward."

Hearing this, Gu An was stunned.

Slightly surprised.

Eliminated at forty years old?

Chen Yue had not mentioned this, if she was intentional, then Chu Meng would not have failed to mention it.

If Chu Meng was deliberately teasing him, then Hua Jiyang's letter should have mentioned it.

So this rule about being over forty years old was probably newly introduced this year.

As soon as the words fell.

Gu An stepped out, along with another middle-aged man.

He had a goatee and looked quite helpless.

"You two are diligent but lack talent," Senior Brother Ye said, looking at the two of them:

"It's not intentional targeting, it's just that our selection values youth, and the master's orders are hard to disobey.

Otherwise, we would definitely let the two of you enter the sect first."

Gu An was silent.

Sure enough, he was disliked for being too old again.
