Chapter 648: The Immortal Comes to Take in a Disciple



Because of Mei Yang's intervention, the Yuxiao Sect headed straight for Bianliang, the capital of Dayu.

The spirit boat sailed for about ten days and arrived over Bianliang.

The spirit boat was in the clouds above, at least several thousand meters above the ground, so people on the ground did not notice it.

The leader of the Yuxiao Sect this time was a man of Meiyang's uncle generation, named Chen Xian. He lowered the spirit boat directly above the palace.

At this time, a spring banquet for the Shangsi Festival on March 3rd was being held in the palace. A huge ship fell from the sky, casting a huge shadow on the ground. The guards outside the palace were all stunned. When they reacted, they hurried into the hall to report.

The emperor was stunned for a few moments, then quickly stood up from his seat and walked out of the hall, followed by the rest of the people.

Everyone was shocked when they saw the huge boat hovering in the air.

The emperor could not help but think of the words that the late emperor had repeatedly told him before he passed away, "My son, there are immortals in this world. I saw one when I was young. An immortal descended from the sky on a boat. I will never forget that scene... In the future, when you see an immortal, you must be respectful and never offend him..."

At that time, he thought that his father was sick and confused. Where did immortals come from in this world? His father was still dreaming of immortals before his death.

Who knew there really were immortals in this world!

Isn't the current situation exactly the same as what Father described?!

Chen Xian stepped out of the spirit boat and walked down step by step. He was a Jindan stage cultivator and could walk in the air. This move completely shocked everyone present. Many of them knelt down on the spot and called him an immortal.

The emperor was able to keep his composure, but his knees were a little weak. He stepped forward quickly, and said in a sincere and respectful tone: "I wonder why the Immortal has come to visit?"

Chen Xian asked, "You are the emperor here, right?"

"Exactly."

Chen Xian introduced himself, "I am Chen Xian from the Yuxiao Sect in the world of immortal cultivation. You can call me Chen Zhenren." His tone was calm, not as arrogant and contemptuous as the emperor thought. This eased the nervousness and panic of the emperor and those present.

Then he took out a jade box from his sleeve and handed it over. In the jade box were several bottles of pills. To cultivators, they were just some low-level pills, but when taken by ordinary people, they had the effects of strengthening the body, improving health, and prolonging life.

"These pills are very beneficial to mortals. Please accept them."

The emperor was surprised and delighted to accept it. "Thank you very much, Master. If you have any instructions, I will send someone to do it right away."

In front of the monks, he automatically changed his usual self-proclaimed name.

Chen Xian said, "I came out this time to recruit disciples. Children aged six to eighteen can come for the test. If there are children who meet the requirements, I will bring them to the sect for teaching. Since you are the emperor, please issue an imperial decree for me to publicize this matter."

The emperor quickly agreed, "Don't worry, Master. I will issue the decree right away."

On the spirit boat, Mei Yang saw Gu Xueting in the crowd at a glance. He was only fifteen years old now, still a young boy, but his eyes and eyebrows had already revealed his charm. One could imagine his extraordinary demeanor when he grows up.

It was the first time she saw such a young Gu Xueting. She couldn't help but feel a little curious and stared at him for a longer time.

Gu Xueting below seemed to sense something and looked up at the spirit boat in the air.

"Xingzhou, I didn't expect that there really are immortals in this world. Our age is just right. Is there any chance that we will be selected?" Pei Fei asked excitedly.

Not hearing any response, Pei Fei followed his gaze upwards and was stunned for a moment.

Such a big ship could actually float in the air out of thin air. This was a huge shock to him.

As soon as the imperial decree was issued, the news that the immortal had come to recruit disciples spread throughout the entire Bianliang city in less than an hour.

Shen family.

Shen Yizhi was feeding his younger brother Little Carp with egg custard. The little carp was leaning back in his walker. After taking a bite, his tender red little mouth immediately opened and waited for feeding.

When Shen Yizhi was about to feed the spoon to his mouth, he deliberately took it back and ate it himself. Well, the egg custard was smooth and tender, and quite delicious, but a little bland.

The little carp was so anxious that it flapped its wings and was about to open its mouth to howl.

Shen Yizhi fed the egg custard to his mouth before he could cry. After eating the egg custard, the little guy immediately swallowed his tears and ate the egg custard obediently, which made Shen Yizhi laugh.

This little foodie! Just when she was having a great time playing with her brother, Shen Xing came running back.

"Mom, Uncle Su, Zhizhi! An immortal is here to recruit disciples!"

This news was like a bolt of thunder out of the blue, shocking everyone in the house and outside the yard.

What does it mean that an immortal has come to recruit disciples? After Shen Xing's detailed explanation, the few people finally understood what was going on.

"Mom, Zhizhi and I are both of the right age, do you think we should give it a try?"

How could an eleven-year-old boy not have fantasized about immortals who could fly into the sky and hide in the ground? In the eyes of men (whether they were ten or eighty years old), riding a flying sword and whizzing through the air was the greatest romance, right?

Shen Yizhi also looked at Shen expectantly, waiting for her consent.

Immortal, she also wants to see him.

The little carp hadn't been fed for a while and was about to cry again. Shen took the egg custard from Shen Yizhi's hand and said, "Let your Uncle Su take you there."

The test was held at Chengde Gate, the north gate of the imperial city. When Shen Yizi and his companions arrived, a long queue had already formed in front of Chengde Gate.

There were Royal Guards nearby to maintain order.

Shen Xing took her by the hand and stood obediently at the end of the line. Because Su Chaiyu was an adult, he was not allowed to enter and could only stand outside like other parents.

The test was still going very fast, and the team was making progress all the time.

Suddenly, a man in front was taken away by two imperial guards. A higher-ranking imperial guard pointed at the man and said loudly, "Do you know why he was taken away? This man lied about his age, but he is actually over 18 years old. Not only did he commit the crime of deceiving the emperor, he also deceived the immortal and prevented him from accepting disciples!

"I tell you, the Immortal has his own way to measure a person's bone age, and this cannot be fooled. So I advise those who lie about their age in an attempt to fish in troubled waters to quit on their own. If they are found out again, they will not be let off easily!"

As soon as these words were spoken, several people in the team really withdrew in disgrace.

The imperial guard who had just spoken snorted coldly, "The methods of the immortals are not something that ignorant mortals like you and I can guess. You'd better be honest."
