'Is the Taoist priest dead too?'

Yan Zhe muttered in his heart.

It is impossible for a cultivator like Taoist Changchun who seeks immortality to fight to the death for the City Lord's Mansion. How could he die so easily?

He felt that there was something strange about this matter.

On the other side, after hearing the news of Li Nansheng's death in battle, Li Shaobai's face turned pale and he remained silent.

Elder Tonglin sighed and said, "Now that you've come to the sect, you should let go of what's happening outside. From now on, you two will be my disciples of Xiulin Peak and will receive my true teachings. What do you ask for? I'll take them to the main peak later to apply for identity tokens."

From now on, you two will practice in Xiulin Peak. If you have any questions, I will answer them for you once on the 15th of every month.

Okay, you guys get to know each other, I'm leaving now."

After saying this, Elder Tonglin went straight out of the mountain.

Second Senior Brother Zhao Wusheng came over and said to Li Shaobai, "Junior Brother, the situation is irreversible. Uncle sent you here to avoid disaster. Please accept my condolences."

Li Shaobai took a deep breath and said, "Thank you for telling me, Senior Brother. I'm not feeling well today. I hope you all will forgive me for my impoliteness. I'll go back and rest first."

Seventh Senior Sister Tan Xiao saw Li Shaobai's haggard appearance and came over to say with concern: "Junior Brother, are you okay? I'll take you back, don't let your mind get upset."

"In that case, thank you very much, senior sister." Li Shaobai left.

Yan Zhe was like a transparent person throughout the whole process. Only at this time did someone remember that there was a junior brother here.

He Qiu said, "By the way, Azhe, who is older, you or Shaobai?"

"I am one year older than the young idiot." Yan Zhe said.

"Then you will be the ninth from now on, and Shaobai will be the youngest," He Qiu said. "I see you have strong Qi and blood. Could it be that you practice both martial arts? How is your martial arts cultivation?"

Yan Zhe nodded and said, "Yes, I just entered the seventh level of the Blood Refining Realm in Qi and Blood Martial Arts not long ago."

"Wow! Junior brother is really strong!" He Qiu exclaimed, "However, in our sect, we naturally still focus on cultivating immortals. Qi and blood martial arts are just a low-level cultivation method. The martial arts golden elixir is the pinnacle, and we, through spiritual cultivation, can become immortals!"

"Brother, you are right. I think so too. But I have been exploring on my own before, without the guidance of a famous teacher or the help of a sect. Therefore, my progress on the path to immortality has been slow. It is my luck to be able to join the Lihuo Sect." Yan Zhe said.

His attitude made He Qiu very satisfied. The other senior brothers and sisters did not care much about him. In fact, no one checked the spiritual roots of the two from beginning to end.

In the eyes of several people, Yan Zhe and Li Shaobai were just relatives and could not be compared with people like them who grew up in the immortal sect.

The immortal sects accept disciples who are all children of twelve or thirteen years old. People like Yan Zhe and Li Shaobai, who are eighteen or nineteen years old, join in the middle of their journey, which naturally creates an extra barrier in their hearts.

After all, Li Shaobai has a tragic life story and a friendship between his father and Elder Tonglin. Yan Zhe looks like a follower no matter how you look at him.

Therefore, subconsciously, everyone ignored him.

Yan Zhe is also very happy with such a role. He will not receive too much attention, while enjoying the benefits of the immortal sect. This is the correct way to practice in a low-key manner.

The cultivation world is inherently too dangerous. Although the highest combat power is similar to that of the beast taming world, there are too many insidious means such as curses, which make it difficult to guard against.

So Yan Zhe tries to keep a low profile as much as possible here.

Unless they are in a situation where they have to fight for their own interests, they will not take the initiative to expose their strength and cultivation.

He Qiu liked to show off his knowledge about the immortal sect, so Yan Zhe pulled him aside and asked him some more questions.

As true disciples of the sect, they can be allocated five spirit stones every month, while ordinary inner disciples can receive two.

But these spirit stones are not given for free. True disciples will have 10 points deducted every month. If the points are not enough, there will be no spirit stones for the next month. Only when the debt is paid off will there be a spirit stone subsidy.

Points are obtained by completing sect missions. Completing more than two sect missions will be enough for three months, which means that on average, two missions will be completed every three months.

The more tasks you complete, the more points you can earn.

Points can be used to redeem opportunities to learn spells and enter secret realms.

There are many types of tasks, all issued by the elders of each lineage. To receive and submit tasks, one must go to "Tianquan Peak", which is also the residence of the cultivators of the lineage.

Yan Zhe asked again about the secret realm.

For him, there is no shortage of spells, magic weapons, and elixirs, but the secret realm is more attractive.

When talking about the secret realm, He Qiu became even more excited.

He said: "There are four secret realms still in operation in our sect, namely the Fire Secret Realm, the Sword Forest Secret Realm, the Ghost Secret Realm and the Jade Tower Secret Realm.

Inner disciples can only enter the Sword Forest Secret Realm and the Jade Tower Secret Realm, true disciples can enter the Ghost Secret Realm, and only elders can enter the Fire Secret Realm.

The Sword Forest Secret Realm is a place where you can comprehend the Dao of the Sword and hone your swordsmanship. The Jade Tower Secret Realm is a place where you can challenge the phantoms in the tower to clear the level. Each time you advance one level, you will receive a reward.

The Phantom Secret Realm is a gloomy ghost den. It is rumored that there is a ghost king in it who is equivalent to a great cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Realm. However, hunting the ghosts in it can obtain a ghost core, and refining and absorbing it can greatly improve the soul.

As for the Lihuo Secret Realm, I haven't been there either. It's said to hold the legendary inheritance of the Nanming Lihuo, but no one has ever known about it."

Hearing the words "Nanming Lihuo", Yan Zhe couldn't help but feel warm in his heart.

Among the news he had heard about the Lihuo Sect before, there was a saying that the Nascent Soul Patriarch of the Lihuo Sect earned the name of "Lihuo Patriarch" by relying on his Nanming Lihuo.

This Nanming Lihuo is the flame that is said to be able to burn immortals. Needless to say, the one mastered by this Lihuo ancestor must be a weakened version, but it is also a very powerful magical power.

Yan Zhe didn't mind either. It was good enough to get this weakened version.

At the very least, being invincible in this world should be no problem.

Of course, this is a long-term plan. For now, let’s explore several other secret realms.

Points are required to enter the secret realm. Yan Zhe and He Qiu came to Tianquan Peak together and found the huge crystal where the mission was issued.

In a large hall, a huge crystal more than three meters wide and more than ten meters high stood there, with tasks scrolling on it, just like an electronic screen.

Since everyone can cultivate immortality, it’s not surprising to see an LCD screen.

Yan Zhe focused his attention on the above tasks, which can be simply divided into three tasks.

The first one is chores, helping the elders with some chores. The chores here are not cleaning or something like that, but dealing with some worldly disputes; the second one is hunting monsters. Although the number of monsters is not large now, it is still much more than the number of cultivators, and they are not uncommon in the big forests or wilderness.

What Yan Zhe cares most about is the third task.
