On the way to the Nine Saints Sect, Gao Yan also shared some knowledge about the cultivation world and cultivation practices with them.

Both the twin girls and seven-year-old Zhong Xiaoqi listened very attentively.

After flying for several hours.

Gao Yan took out some food from his mustard seed space and gave it to them to eat.

After they finished eating, Gao Yan said, "Zhong Xiaoli, you only have three spiritual roots, so you can only join the outer sect!"

"It's alright, Immortal Master. As long as I can cultivate immortality, I'm very happy!"

Zhong Xiaoli quickly responded.

Then, Gao Yan looked at Zhong Xiaoqi and said, "You have two spiritual roots, so you can join the inner sect first. If you perform well, you will soon become a true disciple!"

Gao Yan had already explained the disciple ranks to them, so Zhong Xiaoqi was very happy to hear that he could directly become an inner disciple.

"Xiao Qi, congratulations!"

Zhong Xiaoli, standing to the side, said with some envy.

"Thank you, Brother Xiaoli!"

Finally, Gao Yan's gaze fell on the twin sisters, and both women felt a chill run down their spines.

Gao Yan said, "You sisters both have dual spiritual roots, but you also possess spiritual bodies. According to the rules of my Nine Saints Sect, you could directly become true disciples. However, I'm giving you sisters another option: instead of becoming true disciples, you can become my followers. You can choose whichever you prefer, and there's no need for any psychological pressure!"

These two sisters are the female protagonists. If they become true disciples directly, they should have no problem advancing to the Nascent Soul stage in the future.

But if you become his follower and receive his training, you will begin your journey into the Void.

As long as they perform exceptionally well, he will spare no expense in providing them with resources to help them become Dao Integration Realm experts, or even Saint Realm experts.

"May I ask, Immortal Master, do you wish for us sisters to become your true disciples or your followers?"

Zhou Qiang mustered her courage and asked.

Upon hearing this, Gao Yan smiled. This Da Shuang was quite shrewd. He said, "Actually, your choice doesn't affect me. So, you'll have to decide for yourselves!"

After a brief silence, Zhou Qiang made her decision: "My lord, I am willing to be your follower!"

“I’m just like my sister!” Zhou Wei added.

"Alright, from now on you sisters will be my attendants!"

Gao Yan nodded.

At this moment, Zhong Xiaoqi looked at Gao Yan pitifully and said, "Immortal Master, can I also be your follower?"

Gao Yan did not refuse directly: "How about this, I'll give you a test. If you can reach the sixth level of Qi Refining within three years, I'll take you as my follower!"

Upon hearing this, a hint of disappointment flashed in Zhong Xiaoqi's eyes, but she immediately said, "Immortal Master, Xiaoqi will definitely not let you down!"

"Okay, I'll wait and see!"

Afterwards, Gao Yan directly implanted the "Qi Refining Technique" into their sea of ​​consciousness and explained some precautions for cultivation to them.

Two days later.

The flying boat arrived at the Nine Saints Sect.

He first escorted Zhong Xiaoli to the outer gate, then Zhong Xiaoqi to the inner gate, before taking the twin sisters back to the Holy Son's Palace and entrusting them to Qin Xiangxue to settle them down.

Spiritual practice knows no time.

Two months have passed in the blink of an eye.

On this day, the Xuan Yang bamboo was fully mature, and about 200 jin of Xuan Yang bamboo rice were harvested.

Gao Yan took a pound of bamboo rice and asked Liu Qinxian to make it into rice porridge.

And he gave everyone in the Holy Son Temple a bowl as a reward.

After tasting the Xuan Yang Bamboo Rice Porridge, Gao Yan's soul received a slight boost. As for his physical body, perhaps because he was too strong, or perhaps because he ate too little, Gao Yan did not feel any change!

After drinking the Xuan Yang rice porridge, Gao Yan lay back down on the chair and basked in the sun.

Sudden.

He received a report in his mind from a Nascent Soul puppet that was overseeing a shop, saying that a group of cultivators had stormed the city.

This shop is newly opened, and this city was originally the territory of the Xuanming Sect.

After the Nine Saints Sect took over, he had Qin Mi open the shop there.

Although the profits earned by the business were already very small for him, every little bit helps.

He got up and returned to his palace.

Gao Yan summoned the Anywhere Door and arrived in that city.

A sweep of divine sense.

A group of cultivators dressed in black robes are attacking a cultivation family within the city.

The defensive formations of most cultivation families were breached.

Insight activated.

The identities of these black-robed cultivators also came to light.

They're actually cultivators from the Vajra Sect!

He was immediately puzzled. Why would a cultivator from the Vajra Sect dare to show his face at this time?

It should be noted that if the Vajra Sect hadn't fled so quickly, they would have been wiped out by the combined forces of the other major sects.

Their attack on the Nine Saints Sect's city is definitely not just for revenge; it's most likely because they have the support of some other force.

The only thing that could make the Vajra Sect fearless of the Nine Saints Sect was the Hundred Races!

Gao Yan was not surprised by this.

Although the major sects of the Eastern Wilderness previously joined forces to thwart the Feather Clan, Giant God Clan, Golden Horn Clan, and Crimson Phoenix Clan, it does not mean that they will give up their ambition to seize the Eastern Wilderness.

After a period of silence, they should be making a comeback.

Thinking about this...

Gao Yan directly split off several soul seeds, which infiltrated the souls of Vajra Sect cultivators to read their memories.

Soon, several memories were transmitted over.

After reading these memories, Gao Yan secretly exclaimed, "Just as I thought!"

He was right.

The Vajra Sect has already sided with the Feathered Clan.

Their first step was to take over the Xuanming Sect's original territory.

After all, the other major sects had only recently taken over these territories, and the various forces within those territories weren't as loyal to them.
