Mortal Cultivation: Immortality begins with the Spirit Gathering Array!

At this time, the morning sun was rising, and the sky was full of red clouds.

Under the leadership of Chang Yun, they arrived in front of the ancient courtyard a year ago.

The rules of Guiyuan Sect were strict. Without the leadership of Chang Yun, an inner disciple, they, the outer disciples, did not even have the qualifications to enter this courtyard.

Chang Yun bowed respectfully at the door as he did a year ago and said, "Senior Sister He, I am here with five junior brothers and sisters to hand over the task."

"Enter."

The cold voice of He Ru came from the courtyard. Chang Yun pushed open the wooden door and walked in with Su Ming and others.

After passing through the path of the courtyard, Su Ming and the other five followed Chang Yun into the hall.

A familiar figure appeared in everyone's sight. He Ru was wearing a snow-white robe, exuding a cold temperament like a Tianshan snow lotus. She swept her eyes calmly over Su Ming and the other five. An invisible pressure made Su Ming's eyes fluctuate slightly.

‘This Senior Sister He’s aura is getting deeper and deeper. I’m afraid she is not far from the state of perfect Qi Refining…’ Su Ming felt the fluctuation of spiritual power on He Ru’s body and secretly smacked his lips in his heart.

As expected of a cultivator with special spiritual roots second only to the Heavenly Spiritual Root, she has reached such a state before the age of 20. In another two years, she may break through to the Foundation Establishment Stage. At that time, Su Ming will call her “Uncle He”.

During this year, Su Ming has asked Chang Yun for guidance on the practice of talismans. During the conversation between the two, Su Ming also talked about this Senior Sister He.

She has ice-type special spiritual roots. She has cultivated to the ninth level of Qi Refining at the age of 19. Two years ago, she successfully broke through and refined a first-level superior spiritual talisman, becoming a first-level superior talisman master. There are many suitors in the sect, and Senior Brother Chang Yun is one of her suitors.

At the same time, this Senior Sister He Ru’s background is not bad. Her aunt is the “Fairy Yuechan” mentioned by Senior Brother Ding.

This "Fairy Yuechan" is also a cultivator from the other courtyard, a cultivator in the late stage of foundation building, and is known as the youngest second-level talisman master in Guiyuan Sect.

Originally, a cultivator in the late stage of foundation building was not considered a big deal in the Yuanying Sect, but this "Fairy Yuechan" was different. In addition to her identity as a second-level talisman master, she herself was a cultivator with golden spiritual roots, and there was no bottleneck at all in breaking through the Jindan stage.

Adding up various factors, the status of "Fairy Yuechan" in the sect is almost the same as that of a Jindan Zhenren. At present, all the affairs of the Talisman Hall are basically in charge of her.

As the niece of "Fairy Yuechan", He Ru has a very high status even among the inner disciples. Whether an outer disciple like Su Ming can stay in the Talisman Hall is basically a matter of her words.

This time, who among the five outer disciples will stay and become a formal disciple of the Talisman Hall is also decided by this senior sister.

Fortunately, this Senior Sister He has a cold personality and always acts fairly. In addition, it is impossible for Su Ming's five outer disciples to have any intersection with this "favored daughter of heaven", so there is basically no possibility of "favoritism".

Thinking of this, Su Ming's mentality became more peaceful.

It's not that he is arrogant, but that his competitors are not up to the task. No one noticed the flash of confidence in Su Ming's eyes.

When Su Ming and the others saw He Ru, they bowed and greeted her respectfully: "Hello, Senior Sister He! ×5"

When Chang Yun, who was walking in front, saw He Ru, he smiled brightly and greeted her: "It's been a long time since we last met. Senior Sister He's magic power has become stronger and more charming than before!"

"I think Senior Sister He is not far from perfecting Qi Refining. I will call you 'Uncle Master' in a while!"

Faced with Chang Yun's deliberate flattery, He Ru's delicate face remained calm and she said softly: "I haven't cultivated to perfect Qi Refining yet. It's too early to talk about breaking through the foundation-building stage now..."

"Junior Brother Chang's magic power has improved a lot. I think he will be able to break through to the eighth level of Qi Refining in a while. As long as he continues to work hard, he can try to break through the foundation-building stage before he is thirty years old..."

Hearing the conversation between the two, the four people around Su Ming unconsciously looked a little depressed.

In terms of age, He Ru and Chang Yun are actually younger than them, but one of them is a double spiritual root cultivator, and the other is a different spiritual root cultivator, so Jiang Caiyun and the other two are far inferior to these two inner disciples in terms of cultivation.

The fellow cultivators are talking about breaking through the foundation building stage, but they are still stuck in the bottleneck of the late Qi Refining stage and cannot break through.

It is really annoying to compare people.

Among the five people, only Su Ming's expression remained unchanged, without the slightest movement.

The past cannot be changed, but the future is yet to be written!

Spiritual roots are determined by heaven, and even if you feel sad, the speed of cultivation will not increase, so why worry about such things.

The four people who looked a little depressed at this time noticed Su Ming's calm face, and their melancholy in their hearts suddenly dissipated.

Junior Brother Su's cultivation is only the fifth level of Qi Refining, and he is also a pseudo spiritual root of the four elements. He is not depressed, so what qualifications do they have to be melancholy?

This thought suddenly emerged in the minds of the four people, and their slightly melancholy eyes became bright again.

Noticing the changes in the expressions of the four people and the looks they gave him, Su Ming, who was standing behind the crowd, was speechless.

You can't compare to the inner disciples, so you use me as a psychological comfort?

Su Ming shook his head in his heart and focused his attention on He Ru and the other person who were talking.

As the two talked, Chang Yun's smile became brighter and brighter. Just as he was about to say a few more words, he was interrupted by He Ru's words: "I believe Junior Brother Chang has already told you that the sect has a heavy task assigned to the Talisman Hall during this period, so we decided to make an exception and select two of you to join the Talisman Hall..."

"If any of you do not want to join the Talisman Hall, you can give me the task token now, and the chores for this year will be handed over."

At this point, He Ru glanced at the five people calmly, as if waiting for them to quit automatically.

After waiting for a few breaths, Su Ming and the other five did not move at all.

Joining the Talisman Hall is a "chance" that Su Ming and other outer disciples have been looking for, so naturally no one will quit at this time.

Seeing that none of Su Ming and the other five chose to quit, He Ru nodded and said, "For the past year, Junior Brother Chang has been in charge of refining talismans in the Talisman Hall for the five of you, and I have not paid attention to it."

"Now it has been nine months since the first assessment of the Talisman Hall, and I don't know your progress in practicing the talisman..."

"For the sake of fairness, the five of you will refine a 'Wind Talisman' in the main hall, and I will decide who among the five of you will join the Talisman Hall in the end."

"Any objections?"

Faced with He Ru's arrangement, how could the five outer disciples of Su Ming dare to have any objections.

Not to mention that He Ru's way of doing things is extremely fair, even if He Ru directly decides who will join the Talisman Hall today, Su Ming and others dare not complain.

Whether in terms of cultivation or status, the five outer disciples are far different from He Ru in front of them. He Ru is willing to say so much, which shows that she respects them very much.

"Listen to the arrangements of Senior Sister! ×5"

"Yes."

He Ru nodded, waved her hand, and took out five wooden tables from her storage bag.

"One person refines three 'Wind Talismans', and finally the two candidates who join the 'Talisman Hall' are determined by the quality of the talismans..."

After speaking, He Ru waved her sleeves again, and a jade bamboo talisman pen, some spiritual ink, and three blank talisman papers appeared on each wooden table.

It seems that they have been prepared for a long time, ready to let Su Ming and others refine talismans directly in the hall.

After doing this, He Ru pinched the magic formula in her hand, which seemed to open some restrictions in the hall, and the five wooden tables were separated by restrictions.
