Chapter 237 Weird Old Man

The edge of the city is shrouded in clouds and mist, with steep cliffs, dense trees, and cold springs and waterfalls cascading down.

From time to time, cranes delivering letters and parcels fly by in the clouds and mist, their calls clear and melodious.

Many cultivators were driving flying swords, various magical weapons, and a variety of flying monsters, shuttling back and forth.

The city in front of us is made up of mountains of different sizes, and the peaks are connected by bridges that rise from the sky.

Above the city, there are red tiles and white bricks, houses standing in rows, and people everywhere.

Luo Diandian immediately breathed a sigh of relief, finally finding a populated place.

So she flew up with Xiaohuo on her sword.

After passing through the barrier, two city towers made of huge black iron and huge stones with spiritual patterns rose from the ground and came into view.

Three large and elegant characters "Qinglan City" were written on the city wall.

Luo Diandian had already thought about it on the way here.

The world is so big, it is better to have a sect to rely on. She can't go back to Dongzhou for a while, so she has to find a place to stay!

Moreover, he realized that he would soon make a breakthrough, so he decided to find a safe place to practice first before going out for a walk.

Then, after paying ten low-grade spirit stones and obtaining a pass, Luo Diandian and Xiaohuo entered the city smoothly.

The man and the beast immediately arrived at the Holy Land of Intelligence—

Inside the restaurant.

Xiaohuo was eating and drinking voraciously, stuffing all kinds of things into his mouth crazily.

Luo Diandian secretly looked at the people around her and saw that in the hall, most people's cultivation was at the foundation-building stage, and there were also some golden cores scattered around like her.

As for the person in the private room upstairs, she couldn't detect him. She thought that his cultivation level must be higher than hers, or there might be some formation upstairs.

"Ah, I didn't expect that the selection of the seven major sects would actually limit bone age. I'm afraid that old guys like us have no chance."

"There's probably no hope for the seven major sects, but other smaller sects are still possible. If that doesn't work out, the worst that can happen is I can just go in and become a deacon."

"But after all, deacons won't receive the sect's focused training, so it's really a bit difficult."

......

Luo Diandian quietly pricked up her ears and eavesdropped on what was being said at the next table.

Selection from the seven major sects?

Luo Diandian didn't know much about the seven major sects in Nanzhou.

So she continued to listen patiently to what the people around her said.

After listening to it, Luo Diandian realized that it was the time when the seven major sects were selecting disciples throughout Nanzhou.

Qinglan City is one of the places where disciples are recruited, and the process is currently taking place in the square in the city.

In addition, there are slightly inferior sects that accept heartbroken disciples who cannot enter the seven major sects.

Apparently, the issue of these seven major sects recruiting disciples has now become the main topic of discussion for everyone in the restaurant.

Luo Diandian easily found out a lot of information he wanted.

Unexpectedly, she happened to catch such a good time.

Without further ado, let’s set off now!

So she picked up Xiaohuo, who was eating madly, left the restaurant directly and ran towards the square in the city.

......

"What? Not allowed over 18???"

Luo Diandian was stunned. Hearing the person in charge of recruiting disciples say this, he felt like the sky was falling.

"Yes, and you have already practiced the techniques of another sect. If you want to join our sect, you must practice again."

In fact, the other party has already put it very tactfully.

They just want disciples who have never practiced martial arts or have only practiced basic martial arts to be trained in the sect system.

After all, if the disciples of a sect do not practice the sect's inherited skills, then the name of the sect is meaningless.

Luo Diandian expressed his understanding. After all, it was the same in the Sword Sect, where people would practice the skills of each peak.

She was just an exception.

So I asked the seven major sects in succession, and the results were the same.

However, when they saw Luo Diandian's Golden Core cultivation level, they recommended her to join the sect and be elected as a deacon.

Be a deacon?

Luo Diandian touched his chin and finally understood why those people sighed before.

Being a sect deacon has to work for the sect all the time, which is not an easy job.

Luo Diandian said that she didn't really want to be a deacon.

After all, she still wants to continue learning formations, and she certainly can't worry about this and that every day, but if there is really no other way, she has to choose this path.

There is no point in trying to go to the seven major sects, so I can only look at the slightly inferior sects.

Fortunately, each of the seven major sects has two affiliated sects, so Luo Diandian wandered among the fourteen sects, stopping and starting.

Then, an unexpected scene caught her attention.

"Eh? May I ask, Senior, what sect are you from?"

I saw a young man asking an old man in a remote corner.

Luo looked over curiously.

The old man was leaning on a small bamboo stool, his face covered with a palm-leaf fan.

Hearing the young man's words, he didn't even move, but uttered a slightly hoarse voice.

"Boy, it's a little short, let's go."

The young man seemed to have not expected the old man in front of him to say this, and even directly told him to drive him away.

So he said a little unconvinced,

"Senior, Xinglan and Yunding from these seven sects both gave me tokens for the entrance examination. Why is it that you are so bad?"

The young man had already obtained the examination permits from two sects and wanted to look for more sects. After all, he had good talent and had room for choice, so he was ready to compare prices.

But he didn't expect that the old man he met by chance would say that he was not qualified?

So he continued to ask, "Senior, is it possible that your sect is more powerful than the seven major sects?"

But the old man opposite seemed unwilling to say anything more, and no matter how the young man asked, there was no movement.

At this moment, a passerby saw this and walked up to the young man, pulling him aside and asking, "Brother, why did you come to this old man?"

"Is there a problem?" The boy was confused.

So the passerby explained,

"This old man has been here for many years. Every year when the various sects recruit disciples, he is always there, but he hasn't accepted a single disciple."

"Many people like you have come to him out of curiosity and asked him about this before, but he always rejected them outright, citing lack of talent."

The passerby then glanced at the old man and continued in a low voice,

"Besides, so far, it seems that everyone has only seen him. He doesn't even have any close associates around him. What kind of sect is this?"

At least other sects have elders and deacons come together to test the spiritual roots and bone age before recruiting disciples.

But this old man always comes here to sleep alone. How can he recruit disciples? It's totally incomprehensible!

The young man was stunned when he heard this, "So you're just being mysterious?"

The passerby snorted, "Who knows? You should go find another sect quickly and stop wasting time here."

So the young man nodded, thanked the other party, and left.

Luo Diandian, who witnessed the whole process, was also a little confused. There was such a weird old man?

But she is not the kind of person who would ask for trouble. After all, her qualifications are just average.

So he prepared to continue looking for other sects and didn't take this little episode to heart.

But who would have thought, when she passed by the old man.

Suddenly, the old man's nose twitched slightly, as if he had noticed something, and suddenly opened his eyes.

"Girl, wait a minute."

Luo Diandian only felt that his feet were fixed, and he was shocked.

Then she looked over there and saw an old man who had put down his palm-leaf fan and was staring at her with slightly confused eyes.
