“That Dongshan Ao is not bad…”

“That white fox has already cultivated into a Nascent Soul, and the key is that it seems to have stimulated a trace of Qingqiu bloodline… In the future, it can develop in the direction of charm techniques…”

Lingbao Palace.

Inside the main hall.

The Heavenly Immortals and Heavenly Demons sat on jade mats, sipping tea and drinking wine, occasionally commenting on the disciples who came to seek apprenticeship.

Ao Xin casually praised the white fox, but thought to himself: ‘A mixture of good and bad… This opening of the mountain gate is ultimately just an expedient measure… It’s far inferior to the population reproduction within the sect’s small world, selecting and cultivating loyalty from a young age…’

‘However, my Boundless Mountain seems to be about the same…’

Daoist Qisha, on the other hand, looked at an image in the Xuan Guang mirror and had a thought: ‘This Yiling Sanren is a killing machine… It’s just a pity that his lifespan is not long.’

Seven or eight out of ten Heavenly Immortals and Heavenly Demons in the hall were paying attention to Yiling Sanren.

After all, those who can become Nascent Soul Overlords are even rarer than Heavenly Immortals and Heavenly Demons.

And unless deliberately making things difficult, any test for the Nascent Soul Realm should be easily passed by a Nascent Soul Overlord!

Yiling Sanren was a Confucian scholar, dressed in white, with a handsome appearance, holding a plum blossom branch in his hand, but his temples were slightly frosted.

He transformed into a stream of light, the fastest among the challengers, and had already ascended to the last platform.

On the platform, there was only a green-scaled snake woman holding a whip.

“Heavenly Demon Puppet?”

Yiling Sanren was a little surprised: ‘The Palace Master of Lingbao Palace is indeed wealthy, even having this kind of puppet…’

He came to seek refuge with the Black Dragon Demon Emperor, naturally harboring a little thought.

Because his lifespan was already running out, and Nascent Soul Overlords were known for their difficulty in breaking through.

Now that Lingbao Palace was newly established, he might be able to compete for the title of the first disciple of the mountain.

Even for the sake of attracting talent, the Black Dragon Demon Emperor couldn’t just watch him die of old age, right?

Moreover, he would definitely do his best to serve Lingbao Palace, even after breaking through.

After all, it was quite difficult to find a backer as strong as Lingbao Palace.

For a rogue cultivator, this level of loyalty was already enough.

But seeing this Heavenly Demon puppet, Yiling Sanren’s heart suddenly cooled down, feeling that he might have overestimated himself before.

His role was not as great as he had imagined!

‘Could it be that the Black Dragon Demon Emperor doesn’t like me? Is he preparing to directly eliminate me?’

Yiling Sanren felt bitter in his heart.

He was just an ordinary Nascent Soul Overlord, at most equivalent to the strength of a Heavenly Immortal of the first or second level.

He would be defeated when encountering masters above the third level of Heavenly Immortal.

“Take ten moves from me, and you can pass this platform and enter the mountain gate.”

Fortunately, Green Slave’s next words relieved Yiling Sanren: “Thank you… However, is the final test for those mortals also this?”

“Naturally impossible, I will only be one small realm higher than your own strength.”

Green Slave smiled lightly.

“One small realm?”

Yiling Sanren’s expression froze, and then he felt a burst of Heavenly Demon fourth-level power erupt, and a trace of bitterness and firmness appeared on his face: “Seven Stars Secret Technique, Burn!”

The plum blossom in his hand emitted an aura, with a hint of the law of life hidden within…

Shadows of whips filled the sky, scattering the plum blossoms.

A few breaths later.

“Ten moves have passed, congratulations.”

Green Slave’s figure disappeared.

Only Yiling Sanren was left, looking at the treasure in his hand that had become bare, with only branches and no plum blossoms, a bitter smile appeared on his face:

‘It turned out to be a Heavenly Demon peak puppet…’

‘This Lingbao Palace, it seems I came to the right place.’

…

“Yiling?”

Fang Xing smiled: “Your talent is not bad, you can be my honorary disciple…”

This honorary disciple is like a teacher and student in modern society. You can say it’s a master-disciple relationship, but there’s not much karma involved.

Therefore, powerful figures often accept a large number of honorary disciples, while true disciples and successors are chosen with great care.

“Hiss…”

A sound of gasping immediately came from the surroundings.

“The status of a Nascent Soul Overlord is almost the same as ours, but he’s only an honorary disciple?”

“This Black Dragon Demon Emperor is so strict in accepting disciples?”

“There’s a good show to watch now. It is said that Yiling Sanren has always been arrogant and has refused the recruitment of many forces. I wonder how he will choose now? Will he leave in a huff?”

“Hehe, brother, you’re thinking too much. If it were four or five thousand years ago, it would probably be like that… But now, Yiling Sanren is already over nine thousand years old…”

An old Heavenly Immortal smiled.

He had an endless lifespan and had seen many short-lived species’ thoughts.

Even a Nascent Soul Overlord only has a lifespan of ten thousand years!

Once dead, nothing remains.

Therefore, except for a few heroic individuals, Nascent Soul Overlords in their later years will look for various ways to try to break through the bottleneck.

Yiling Sanren has always been carefree, but now he is taking the initiative to seek apprenticeship, obviously the latter.

Bang, bang!

He immediately kowtowed: “Disciple greets the teacher!”

“Good!”

Fang Xing nodded. In any case, this Yiling Sanren can be considered a valuable asset. Moreover, he is a Nascent Soul Overlord with the combat power of a Heavenly Immortal. After accepting him, there is no need to teach him much. Just throw a few secret manuals to practice. Except for being a little old and unable to be a beast of burden for a few years, the rest is okay.

Moreover, there is a way to solve this aspect.

“Since you are the first to come to seek apprenticeship and are sincere, I will bestow upon you a ‘Green Emperor Wood Heart’. After refining this item, you can extend your lifespan by three thousand to five thousand years…”

Fang Xing smiled slightly, and with a flip of his palm, a cyan wood heart appeared.

A life aura immediately emanated.

“This is… the tree heart of the Green Emperor’s main body, right? Even for the Chaos Realm, it is a rare treasure.”

The most ⊥ new ⊥ small ⊥ say ⊥ is ⊥ at ⊥ six ⊥ 9 ⊥ ⊥ book ⊥ ⊥ bar ⊥ ⊥ first ⊥ release!

“Giving it to a mere Nascent Soul to extend his lifespan is a waste, too wasteful!”

For a time, the gazes of many Heavenly Immortals and Heavenly Demons converged, as if they couldn’t wait to snatch Yiling Sanren away.

In fact, that was indeed the case. If it weren’t for being in Lingbao Palace, they might have directly taken action.

“Thank you, Master! Thank you, Master!”

Yiling Sanren was also stunned by the surprise that fell from the sky.

Although he was upright and came to seek apprenticeship to break through and obtain lifespan.

He thought that Fang Xing would definitely test him, at least use him as a beast of burden for a period of time, and then hand in a certificate of loyalty before it would be possible.

Some unscrupulous sects might just use him as a beast of burden until death and then pretend that nothing happened.

But he had no way to go, and Lingbao Palace was accepting disciples for the first time, so he still tried it reluctantly.

Unexpectedly… the surprise came so suddenly!

Fang Xing didn’t care about this. Anyway, he didn’t worry about this beast of burden running away.

‘Nascent Soul Overlords are good… In this Qingyuan Great World, many secret realms can only be entered by Nascent Soul cultivators, just right for me to use as beasts of burden…’

In Fang Xing’s eyes, he naturally knew that even if he gave this Yiling Sanren another five thousand years, it would be difficult for him to break through.

Nascent Soul Overlords are actually tragedies. If they can break through to Heavenly Immortal or Heavenly Demon, it is almost impossible to stay in this realm for too long.

‘Unless… I cultivate him at all costs.’

‘Well… it depends on his fortune. If he can obtain something that moves my heart, promoting him to the Heavenly Immortal Realm is nothing.’

‘I have already paid the money first…’

Fang Xing thought indifferently.

Not long after Yiling Sanren, Dongshan Ao, Baishan Hu, and others, demons one by one entered the palace and solemnly performed the apprenticeship ceremony.

Fang Xing accepted all comers, but there was not a single direct disciple, all were honorary disciples, causing a group of Heavenly Immortals and Heavenly Demons to secretly click their tongues.

“Senior’s vision is truly high…”

Ao Xin had some friendship with Fang Xing before, so he spoke more casually: “He doesn’t even like Yiling Sanren and that ‘Heavenly Moon Body’ cultivator?”

“Hehe, I accept disciples, only based on fate.”

Fang Xing looked at the dense honorary disciples below and coughed: “My Lingbao Palace has countless methods and countless treasures… There are twelve Heavenly Immortal and Heavenly Demon spots, you must strive to win them.”

As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of the Nuwa Palace cultivators became very unsightly.

And the disciples who knew the inside story naturally rubbed their fists in secret, knowing that they had encountered a good time.

If they waited until the twelve Heavenly Immortals were in place, it would be even more difficult to break through without the massive resources provided by Lingbao Palace.

“Then I wonder which disciple Senior favors?”

Ao Xin glanced around, somewhat curious.

“Cast a wide net… As for now, that Wood Body disciple is not bad.”

Fang Xing casually pointed to one person.

Ao Xin looked over and saw a young human man in a green robe, with an ordinary appearance.

Although the Wood Body is also considered a spiritual body talent, it is okay in the Nascent Soul Realm, but it is far inferior to spiritual bodies like the ‘Heavenly Moon Body’ that can still play a role in the thirteenth realm of Heavenly Immortals and Heavenly Demons.

She was a little suspicious for a while.

“In my Lingbao Palace, there is a volume of ‘Green Emperor Longevity Technique’, I think it is quite suitable for this person to practice…”

Fang Xing explained with a faint smile.

After obtaining the Longevity Tree of the Green Emperor’s main body, he naturally did some research.

Now he has begun to experiment with how to cultivate tree seeds from the Longevity Tree.

And when the tree seeds mature, they can naturally be handed over to cultivators, combined with the Druid [Tree Shepherd] talent, and cultivated into their natal spiritual plants, perhaps they can break through the restrictions of the laws of this world, and Nascent Soul Realm cultivators can live for more than ten thousand years.

Of course, this technique is only in its infancy in his mind, and the key is to see the main body take action.

‘And observing the myriad paths is to prepare for opening up new paths in the future…’

Fang Xing looked at the disciples below, scattered like stars, and couldn’t help but feel a little pity.

Most of these disciples may become cannon fodder on his path of ‘opening up paths’.

Of course, many people seek such cannon fodder but cannot obtain it.

‘Now that I have everything ready, it depends on what the main body does…’

‘No, I am the main body… But the talent of this Black Dragon body is obviously inferior to the main body, especially the ‘Great Divinity’…’
