The meal lasted very late, and the women who came to clean up the table saw that they had been sitting and chatting, so they enthusiastically brought the dishes and heated them up, without any annoyance at all.

Everyone drank, but this time neither Ah Shou nor Du Rong was drunk. Ah Shou didn't say anything, but Chen Xiao could see that Xi Yunting had really woken him up. From tomorrow on, he would no longer live in decadence and would work hard to become stronger.

After the banquet, several people returned to their respective residences. Because it was dark, there was still some distance to go. Chen Xiao took a torch to light up. Xi Yunting accommodated Chen Xiao, and the two walked slowly along the road.

Chen Xiao massaged his stomach contentedly to speed up digestion so that he could go back and go to bed early. It was a busy day, and even though he was just sitting and writing, he really felt very tired.

Xi Yunting took the initiative to break the silence, saying, "Yesterday morning, everything you said to me came true. There are indeed many talented people in Changjia Village. There is even an extremely rare person with a single spiritual root and excellent mutant talent."

Chen Xiao said happily: "Yes, it can be seen that Feng Shui is not useless. Although it cannot enable people to practice directly, it still has its effects."

Xi Yunting said calmly, "That's right. It shows that nothing in the world is absolute. My junior apprentice and I made a wrong judgment at the beginning. We didn't understand it in depth and rushed to make a conclusion. This was wrong."

Chen Xiao heard something wrong, he stopped and looked sideways at Xi Yunting. Fortunately, he saw him stop and Xi Yunting was also standing there. Chen Xiao asked tentatively: "Master Xi, what's wrong?"

Although Xi Yunting habitually had no expression, it was hard to tell what he was feeling. But he was not expressionless after all. When he was upset, his facial expression would change slightly. But these slight changes were very small and could not be seen without careful observation.

At this moment, Chen Xiao was looking at Xi Yunting seriously, trying to find some clues.

Facing Chen Xiao's question, Xi Yunting's eyes flickered slightly, and he actually moved his obsidian eyes away, not looking at him. This was extremely rare, and it was enough to show that Xi Yunting was not at peace.

Xi Yunting evaded the point and said, "I'm fine. Your conclusion is correct. This Feng Shui technique has such an effect. It will surely shine in the world of immortal cultivation. Those immortal sects and independent cultivators who need to recruit disciples can avoid taking detours with your guidance."

Chen Xiao observed carefully. He felt that Xi Yunting seemed a little disappointed when he said this? However, he suspected that he had seen it wrong and understood it wrongly. Master Xi was disappointed that his conclusion was correct? There seemed to be something wrong with this logic.

Unable to figure out the connection, Chen Xiao simply thought he had seen it wrong. Xi Yunting brought up the topic here, and Chen Xiao was about to tell him this, so he followed the topic and said, "That's right. I have such a plan in the future, to cooperate with the immortal sect and help them find suitable students... No, I mean apprentices." He paused, and said to Xi Yunting pleadingly, "So, there is something I need the help of Master Xi."

Xi Yunting was feeling lost and embarrassed that he might have misunderstood. Chen Xiao was not asking him for something in a perverted way, in order to verify his guess. He was very sure of the result, so he sincerely suggested that he do it. The embarrassment of misunderstanding made him look away, not looking at Chen Xiao's bright almond eyes. At this time, Chen Xiao clearly asked him for help, which made Xi Yunting suppress his inner emotions, solemnly turned his face, and looked at him. He said, "What's the matter?"

Chen Xiaoke could not guess what was going on in Master Xi's mind, so he only seriously proposed the proposal he had thought about for a long time: "Master Xi, could you please introduce this function of Feng Shui to the people of your sect? When the next time the Chongxuan Sect selects disciples, can you use me?"

Xi Yunting paused, frowned slightly, and then quickly relaxed. He said, "After returning to the sect, I will report the situation of Changjia Village to the head of the temple and the other temple masters and elders. I think Feng Shui is very helpful in selecting disciples, but... the next time I open the sect to recruit disciples will be ten years later."

Chen Xiao hurriedly said, "It doesn't matter. I can wait. As long as the immortal masters of the Chongxuan Sect can use me, I can send them at any time."

Seeing him lower himself like this, Xi Yunting said uncomfortably, "Don't belittle yourself. Feng Shui has such a function. In less than ten years, you will surely have a long-term development and become famous. Not to mention being sent on a mission, you may even have to be invited in person by the head of the department to get Master Chen's favor."

Chen Xiao blinked before he was sure. The cold-faced Xi Yunting actually said a joke. Then he smiled and said, "I still need your good words. However, if I really need you, you don't have to ask me in person. Just let Master Xi know, and I will definitely not refuse."

Xi Yunting curled his lips and felt better. The two continued to walk towards the villager's house. As they walked, they heard Chen Xiao ask: "Master Xi, what do you think of these high-grade spiritual roots tested by Changjia Village? Although it seems that the time for your sect to accept disciples has been missed, it would be a pity to leave these talented people in this small village deep in the mountains."

Xi Yunting said in a low voice: "Do you know that once they are selected by the sect, these people can receive new apprentice certificates from Zhishitang? And with the help of Chongxuan Sect, they don't even need to check the old certificates."

Of course Chen Xiao knew. When he crossed the sea, he asked Tong Nuonuo to exchange a temporary disciple certificate for him to buy a boat ticket. However, it was not easy to tell Master Xi about this matter at the moment, so he said "hmm" softly, and then he realized something and said, "Could it be that if the people of Changjia Village were accepted as disciples of Chongxuan Sect, would the Lord of Hanshan City make things difficult for Master Xi?"

Xi Yunting shook his head: "Not really. Not to mention that the Han family didn't know the location of Changjia Village over the years, so they had no way of knowing that these people were descendants of the Chang family. Although part of Zhishitang is managed by the Han family, they dare not interfere in the affairs of Zhongxuan Sect's selection of disciples."

Chen Xiao was relieved. He asked, "Will Master Xi select some to bring to Chongxuan Sect?"

Xi Yunting said: "Anyone below the prime age, above the upper grade, who has passed the comprehension test can be selected. There is no limit on the number of places."

Chen Xiao was slightly surprised. The conditions were quite lenient. As far as he knew, the immortal sects only selected children of appropriate age. He had never heard of adults being selected into the immortal sect. He said, "Adults from Changjia Village are also acceptable? Are they too old?"

Xi Yunting shook his head and said, "Not really. These adults are practicing universal techniques, so they can directly choose the corresponding mental techniques to continue practicing." Seeing that Chen Xiao was puzzled, Master Xi explained, "This place is different from the outside world, and we handle it this way because of special circumstances. In the outside world, people with top-grade spiritual roots and talents will not fall to the point where they have no future as adults. They will either be recruited by a family of cultivators, or accepted as disciples by independent cultivators."

Chen Xiao finally understood why Chongxuan Sect only selected students of appropriate age when selecting disciples, and not adults. Also, Xi Yunting made it easy this time, probably because those students before might not have as good qualifications as those in Changjia Village now. Because when those students were still in the school, they might have been selected by big families like the Fan family. No wonder Zhao Fang was so strict, it turned out to be a general among the short ones.

There was another reason, which Chen Xiao could understand even without Xi Yunting saying it. It was for Ah Shou. As long as Ah Shou was not extremely stupid, his progress in cultivation would not be too bad. He was enlightened by Xi Yunting and would definitely work harder. He would definitely be a talent who could become an immortal in the future.

Chen Xiao had always been curious about one thing, so he took the opportunity to ask Xi Yunting for advice. He asked, "How did the Chongxuan Sect select apprentices in Fan Village? It's so far away from Hanshan City, and there are many barriers between it and the Chongxuan Sect. How did your sect determine the place to select apprentices?"

Xi Yunting said: "The selection of disciples by the immortal sects is generally conducted every ten years. Each time, several teams set out at the same time to the affiliated lower heaven. After arriving, they must first go to the local Zhishi Hall to retrieve the map directory. Exclude the places that have been visited by other immortal sects in the past ten years, copy down the list of optional places, and then visit them one by one."

"Huh?" Chen Xiao said in surprise, "Zhishitang even registered a small mountain village like Fancun in the directory?"

Xi Yunting nodded and said, "Yes. This list has been compiled over many years. Some places have disappeared, and new places have been added. It is precisely because of this list that the major immortal sects have saved a lot of effort in recruiting disciples. In the old days, students from all over the country would spontaneously go to the immortal sect's headquarters to wait for selection. However, there is a big limitation. The journey is long and dangerous. What's more, there are barriers between the heavens, and it is often impossible to reach the sect you like. There are also many difficulties at the immortal sect. Without a purpose, it is in vain to spend time and energy and still not find a candidate with good talent."

At this time, the two had already walked into the house where they were staying. It was very late, but the family had not closed the door, just to wait for them to come back. After thanking the owner, the two went into the house. Because he had not finished talking, Xi Yunting sat on the chair in Chen Xiao's room, waited for Chen Xiao to light a lamp, and then continued what he had just said after sitting down.

Xi Yunting said: "Later, as Zhishitang grew, it provided a very convenient way for all practitioners. There was a fairy gate offering a bounty, asking for a list of locations. The fairy gate's requirements were not strict, as long as there had been a fairy cultivator in the local area before and there were relatives or descendants of the other party, they could be registered."

Fearing that Chen Xiao would not understand, Xi Yunting took the initiative to explain: "This is because whenever a cultivator appears in a family, the possibility of having spiritual root talents among their relatives is much greater than in other places."

There was nothing that Chen Xiao couldn't understand. He thought that even if the mainstream background was different, the role of family inheritance should not be much different.

Xi Yunting said: "It is precisely because of the convenience provided by Zhishitang that all the major sects have followed the established rules for many years. Wherever they go, they must greet the local immortal cultivation forces in advance. They will not take away a large number of apprentices from the other party's territory without notice. In this Gengsheng Small Heaven Realm, the immortal cultivation force under its jurisdiction refers to Hanshan City. Then, specifically in the lower places, the local area has the right to give priority to selecting apprentices and replenishing the local immortal cultivation families. The places registered through Zhishitang shall not refuse the immortal sects to come and accept disciples."
