Chu Youwei can provide a reasonable answer to this.

"You can think of it as fate. Meeting is destiny. Lingxian Palace does not consider birth, background, or talent when accepting disciples. They only look at one word: whether there is fate between them."

In terms of background, he was just a peasant's son, and didn't even own any land.

As for his background, he was all alone, with only one father whom he had risked his life to snatch back from the clutches of death.

In terms of talent, compared to proper cultivators, he's already in his early twenties and hasn't even considered the path to immortality.

But, Sect Leader Su, Immortal Su, stood right in front of him, and that was it...

Is it a predestined connection with the divine?

He didn't want to turn his life around; he just wanted his father to have a better life.

He wasn't after money; twenty taels a month was nothing in the sect!

However, in Lingxian Palace, everyone from the sect leader to the disciples receives twenty taels of silver.

In the entire Lingxian Palace, there were only two exceptions. One was the second disciple personally taught by Sect Leader Su, who always liked to run up debts. Twenty taels of silver was never enough for him, and now he owed Ye Qinghan more than three years' worth of monthly payments...

Secondly, there's Deacon Xu, who not only doesn't receive a monthly salary, but also has to pay protection money every month...

Apart from these two unlucky guys, everyone else, including Ye Qinghan and Su Cheng, received twenty taels a month.

Ning Yuan still planned to think it over, and Su Cheng didn't intend to make things difficult for him.

"However, you will also need to pass the Lingxian Palace's trial. If you want to try, you can come anytime."

Afterwards, Ning Yuan left with his father.

May I come in and sit down?

"Of course, Sect Leader Su, this is your room. Miaomiao is just using it."

Su Cheng smiled; he knew, he understood, the source of this politeness.

"Miaomiao, I don't really like it when you call me Headmaster Su."

"Huh?" Miaomiao looked a little dazed. "Then... Immortal Su?"

"Could you please call me Master?"
