Chapter 27: On the token that signifies the last disciple, there will be a certain place engraved...
Anan took a deep breath, his eyes gleaming with a faint light, "Anan has something to ask of you."
Wu Hanfeng looked surprised, "What's the matter?"
Anan said, "I want to enter Cangqiong Mountain."
The two elders of Cangqiong Mountain, along with Wu Hanfeng, all remained silent.
Even Xie Wuyang was startled.
According to the rumors Xie Wuyang had heard, Anan had clearly become a disciple of Lianwu Sect in the end. Why was he going to join Cangqiong Mountain now?
Xie Wuyang thought for a moment, then turned to Yun Wanzhou and asked, "Master, have you heard of the female disciple at Cangqiong Mountain who is famous for meeting An Nan?"
Yun Wanzhou said calmly, "No."
That leaves only two possibilities.
Looking at the scene in front of him, Xie Wuyang narrowed his eyes.
Either the rumor is false, and Anan changed his name after joining Cangqiong Mountain; or the rumor is true, and something went wrong before Anan joined Cangqiong Mountain, and he accidentally became a disciple of the Lianwu Sect.
"Ye Nan! What nonsense are you talking about to the immortal? Why don't you come and stand next to me?" Ye Liang roared.
Wu Hanfeng raised his hand to stop him and continued talking to An Nan, "Why do you want to join my Cang Qiong Mountain?"
Anan: "The best sect in the world, of course I want to join it."
This is true. Although Cangqiong Mountain gradually declined during the reign of Demon Lord Xie Wuyang five hundred years later and ranked last among the three major sects, five hundred years ago, it was also a famous holy place that countless disciples were vying for admission to.
Such a frank answer made Wu Hanfeng laugh helplessly.
No one dislikes hearing nice words.
If it were any other time, when Wu Hanfeng saw a child with such talent and state of mind, he might really agree to the other party's request.
But today is different. Today he and the two elders of Cangqiong Mountain went down the mountain for other important matters.
Wu Hanfeng pondered for a moment and said, "Miss Ye, you may not know that the other two immortals and I came here today to recruit a disciple, but this person is not the Second Miss."
Anan frowned, "Who is that?"
Wu Hanfeng said, "He is a person born with a spiritual body. Has Miss Ye ever seen him?"
"A natural spirit? How do you identify one?"
Wu Hanfeng waved his hand, and an elder next to him waved his right hand, conjured up a crystal ball that looked like a night pearl, and handed it to Wu Hanfeng.
Wu Hanfeng smiled and said, "Use this thing."
As soon as he finished speaking, Anan suddenly stretched out his hand and touched the crystal ball. Wu Hanfeng was shocked. Before he could open his mouth to stop him, the crystal ball in his hand began to emit heat, and then a red light became brighter.
If Wu Hanfeng was not a cultivator with an extraordinary character, he would have let go of the treasure and dropped it to the ground.
"The natural spiritual body that the immortal was talking about is me?" Anan withdrew his hand and looked into Wu Hanfeng's eyes.
The hall fell silent for a moment.
It took Wu Hanfeng a long time to come back to his senses, and he answered blankly, "That's right."
Anan remained calm and said, "I wish to go back with the Immortal."
Aside from his talent for cultivating immortality, Anan, a natural spiritual body, lives a daily life that is no different from that of an ordinary person. He only practices swordsmanship, but no one has ever taught him how to circulate spiritual power. That is why no one in the Ye Mansion has discovered Anan's uniqueness.
But if that is the case, how did Anan know that he was born a spirit?
Wu Hanfeng placed his hand on Anan's head and used his spiritual power to probe Anan's cultivation level, but he only found an empty sea of consciousness.
His spiritual consciousness has not been awakened and he is no different from ordinary people.
Wu Hanfeng frowned, "How did Miss Ye know that she was born with a spirit body?"
Anan said, "It was the Immortal who first said that he wanted to accept people with natural spiritual bodies as his disciples. I wanted to enter Cangqiong Mountain, so I gave it a try."
Wu Hanfeng stared at An Nan and fell silent, as if he was considering the truth of this sentence.
This lie was really poorly written. Wu Hanfeng was the head of the sect after all, so how could he easily believe it? However, thinking of Ye Nan's natural spiritual body, Xie Wuyang didn't think Wu Hanfeng would miss it.
After all, it is very easy to cultivate a natural spiritual body. Even if it cannot ascend in the end, it is more than enough to reach the Nascent Soul stage.
What the hundreds of immortal sects need most are masters who can uphold the name of the sect.
As expected, Wu Hanfeng's expression froze for a moment after hearing this. He turned and asked the elder beside him, "Where is the disciple token I brought with me on this trip?"
"Here." Another elder took out a brown-red wooden sign from his arms.
Xie Wuyang had seen this token before. It was exactly the same as the one he had "lost".
Cangqiong Mountain disciple token.
Something that ordinary people can hardly obtain at all.
Anan took the token without showing any surprise. Instead, he turned it over and carefully examined the words on it.
Because the name of the natural spirit was unknown, the area on the token where the disciple token was engraved was still blank, with only a small "Wu" character engraved in the lower right corner.
Although Cangqiong Mountain does not have the obvious distinction between high and low as other sects, it still makes some subtle differences on the tokens to distinguish between closed disciples and ordinary disciples.
For example, on the token of the closed disciple, there would be a place engraved with the elder's signature, either a surname or a courtesy name. The one in Anan's hand was specially made by Wu Hanfeng.
Whether it was the old piece or the one Yun Wanzhou gave Xie Wuyang later, Xie Wuyang had never paid much attention to it. When he saw the word "Wu" under Anan's finger, Xie Wuyang subconsciously touched the Emperor's Sky Wood hanging around his waist, until he touched a small uneven place, then he stopped and touched it carefully twice.
Noticing Anan's pause, Wu Hanfeng explained, "If Miss Ye enters Cangqiong Mountain, she will become the last disciple of our sect leader. Her future will surely be limitless."
For those who aspire to cultivate immortality, this is undoubtedly a huge temptation. Wu Hanfeng believes that An Nan will not refuse.
"No." Anan shook his head and handed the token back to Wu Hanfeng. "I don't want to be the master's disciple."
Wu Hanfeng was stunned. "Why?"
Anan said, "Anan heard that the headmaster is a talisman practitioner with profound attainments in talismans, but he is not specialized in swordsmanship. Although Anan is a natural spirit, he has never learned any magic and only loves to practice swordsmanship. If he were to become a disciple, Anan would prefer his master to be a swordsman."
In his words, he gave enough face to the head of Cangqiong Mountain, and his reasons were reasonable, which made Wu Hanfeng and the two elders feel troubled.
"Since you are born with a spiritual body, practicing swordsmanship is not a bad way out. However, most of the elders in my Cangqiong Mountain are talisman practitioners and body practitioners. The only elder who practices swordsmanship is difficult to approach. I'm afraid..." The elder fell silent after speaking.
Another elder also looked troubled.
Anan's gaze fell calmly on Wu Hanfeng, and his words were filled with stubbornness. "Anan wants to meet with that elder. If he is rejected, Anan will obey the elders' orders and practice talismans and cultivate the Tao."
Wu Hanfeng sighed and nodded, "Okay."
Hearing this, Xie Wuyang raised his eyebrows with interest and looked at Yun Wanzhou beside him.
There is only one sword-cultivating elder in Cangqiong Mountain. Coincidentally, he only knows this one, Yun Wanzhou who is carrying the Broken Snow Sword.
…
When Anan left, she packed a lot of things. Yun Wanzhou and Xie Wuyang followed Anan and watched her and Ye Huixuan busy packing for two days.
Counting carefully, today is the third day that Xie Wuyang has been trapped in this illusion. Not eating or drinking for three days is really a test for Xie Wuyang's body, which is half-fasted.
Every day, with an empty stomach, he sat on the ground anywhere, sleeping in the open air. If it weren't for the spiritual power of Yun Wanzhou's Broken Snow Sword, Xie Wuyang was really afraid that he would not live to see the day when he could get out of the illusion.
Wu Hanfeng originally wanted to wait for An Nan to pack up before setting off back to the mountain together, but unexpectedly he received a sound transmission note from the elder who stayed behind in Cangqiong Mountain.
The elder said that the Demon Lord's decision to give up the city was opposed by several kings in the Demon Realm. Seeing that the Demon Lord refused to give in, those kings had quietly gathered their demon soldiers and were preparing to attack Cangqiong Mountain.
The banner for this military expedition was "The Immortal Sect is bullying us by taking advantage of their power, and we must seek justice."
Although these few little kings are not to be feared, there is no guarantee that something unexpected will not happen. If a fight really breaks out, Wu Hanfeng will still have to stay at the mountain gate to prevent a sneak attack from the demon world.
After hearing the news, Wu Hanfeng did not dare to stay any longer. He quickly gave An Nan a few instructions and flew back to the mountain gate with the two elders on his sword.
Looking at the empty space where only a cloud of dust remained, Anan said "Oh" slowly.
Wu Hanfeng told her that in three days, someone from Cangqiong Mountain would come to pick her up with the leader's token.
But Wu Hanfeng was in such a hurry that he apparently overlooked one thing.
Xie Wuyang casually said, "Cangqiong Mountain can observe celestial phenomena and know the existence of natural spirits. Can't other sects do the same?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Huixuan hurried into Anan's room, "Anan, two more immortals from the Wax Apple Sect have come to our house. They are discussing matters with father in the hall."
Anan was packing his bag to go to Cangqiong Mountain, and he didn't even turn his head when he heard it.
Ye Huixuan was a little impatient and walked back and forth in An Nan's room twice. "From what I heard about their conversation with my father, it seems that they also want to accept you as a disciple, but you just agreed to the immortals of Cangqiong Mountain. Could it be that the Lianwu Sect is here this time to interfere?"
As he spoke, Ye Huixuan thought of the rumors about the conflict between the Wax Apple Sect and Cang Qiong Mountain. He scratched his head and said, "If that's true, then the Wax Apple Sect is obviously trying to drag you into the fight and make you a target for their internal conflicts!"
Before Ye Huixuan could finish his words, An Nan, who had just been indifferent to the world, suddenly stood up, picked up the sword standing beside him, and walked out the door quickly.
It was not until An Nan disappeared in the courtyard that Ye Huixuan realized that something was wrong.
Just go to the hall, why bring a sword?
Anan doesn't seem to be meeting a guest here, but more like seeking revenge!
Ye Huixuan smacked his forehead in regret and hurriedly chased after him.
Xie Wuyang and Yun Wanzhou followed closely behind.
Xie Wuyang lowered his head and sorted out what had happened in the illusion in the past few days. When he thought about it together with the ending of An Nan, he always felt that something was not right.
Considering Anan's attitude towards Cangqiong Mountain and Lianwu Sect, it doesn't seem like he will join Lianwu Sect in the end. What kind of changes happened in the middle that made Anan change his mind?
When Anan rushed to the front hall angrily, Ye Liang was chatting happily with the monks from the Lianwu Sect.
After hearing the noise, Ye Liang looked up at An Nan.
Seeing the sword in Anan's hand, Ye Liang frowned, "Ye Nan, what do you mean?"
Anan looked at him coldly and said in a cold voice, "I heard that the immortal from the Lotus Mist Sect also wants to see me dance with a sword?"
The elder of the Lotus Apple Sect was startled. "Who is this..."
Ye Liang hurriedly said, "This is my daughter Ye Nan, the person with the natural spiritual body that the immortal just mentioned."
The elder hesitated and laughed dryly, "It's a girl..."
