On the hill behind Huangmu

Village, Huang Liang walked towards Lin Jiang cautiously. Looking at the bird beside Lin Jiang that was bigger than him, Huang Liang still broke out in a cold sweat.

"Greetings, Senior."

"Yes, you came just in time."

"I wonder if you have any advice for me."

"I am about to leave Huangmu Village and need your help."

"It is my blessing to serve you,"

Huang Liang said flatteringly. Great, this great god is finally leaving, and he finally doesn't have to be so cautious.

"Here is a token. Use your spiritual power to activate it. Someone will come to pick me up in three to five days at the latest. I want to become his disciple as a mortal. You must remember my identity. I am the son of an ordinary farmer in Ma Cao Village. Ten years ago, Ma Cao Village was destroyed by monsters. I fled here with the villagers. I am fifteen years old this year. The token was passed down from my ancestors..."

Lin Jiang said. Ma Cao Village was Xiao Yuan's village. It was one of the three destroyed villages. There are not many people alive in Ma Cao Village now. In a few decades, all these people will die out, and his identity will be impeccable.

"This..."

Huang Liang was dumbfounded. He was going to lurk in the sect as a spy.

"Well, I have already planned it for you. If it is exposed, I may be able to escape, but your whole family will definitely die. You have no choice now,"

Lin Jiang said to Huang Liang. He should be over 60 years old now. He has given birth to seven children in Huangmu Village in the past few years. The oldest is almost six years old. Huang Liang no longer has the time and energy to go anywhere else. Now his family is his biggest weakness.

"Yes, yes, senior, I dare not."

"I will give you one hour to think about the details and then activate it."

Lin Jiang threw the Ascension Order to him. There are two ways to use the Ascension Order. One is to take the token to the Five Elements Sect, and the other is to activate it with spiritual power. The Five Elements Sect will naturally send someone to pick you up.

Huangmu Village is thousands of miles away from the Five Elements Sect. Lin Jiang certainly can't go there by himself, unless he sits on a big sand sculpture. Huang Liang is not reliable to escort him. With the strength of the fifth level of Qi training, he might be killed halfway. Letting the Five Elements Sect pick him up is the safest thing.

······

"Welcome, senior"

Five days later, two disciples of the Five Elements Sect appeared in Huangmu Village, and Huang Liang went to greet them immediately.

"Are you the immortal cultivator stationed here?"

"Yes, senior"

"Who activated the immortal order of my Five Elements Sect?"

"Reporting to the senior, it was me, but I activated it for someone else"

Huang Liang's heart tightened. He thought it was the immortal order of a small sect, but it turned out to be from the Five Elements Sect. He was finished, he was going to die this time.

"Where are the people?"

"Hey, I'll call them now."

Huang Liang quickly called Lin Jiang who was working. Lin Jiang had just returned from the fields and was covered in mud.

"Kid, is this token yours?"

"Yes, immortal"

"How did you get it?"

"My father gave it to me before he died"

"Tell me in detail, what happened"

"Yes, immortal"

Lin Jiang told him everything, which was the same thing he had made up before.

“Fellow Daoist, can you guarantee that what he said is true?”

“That should be the case. I am the only cultivator in this village. They all migrated here from other villages. The previous villages were ravaged by monsters. If you don’t believe me, you can check it out.”

“Kid, come here.”

The disciple of the Five Elements Sect didn’t have time for this. He just pricked up his ears and listened for a while, and indeed heard some villagers talking about what happened before.

Lin Jiang walked in front of the Five Elements Sect disciple, and the man put his hand on Lin Jiang's shoulder and probed into Lin Jiang's body.

"The meridians are different from those of ordinary people, but everything else is fine."

The man turned around and said to the others. No spiritual power was detected in the body, and no cultivation was detected. Only the meridians were stronger than ordinary people, but this kind of exploration could not determine how strong the meridians were.

"Then there is no problem,"

the others said. Some people are gifted and their meridians are stronger than ordinary people. This is not a rare thing. There are even more special ones.

"Kid, are you willing to join my Five Elements Sect?"

"Immortal, can I be an immortal too?"

"Of course"

"Then I am willing, immortal, do I not have to farm in the future?"

"Haha, that's not necessarily true,"

the Five Elements Sect disciple laughed. The most common people in the Five Elements Sect are spiritual plant husbands, and they still have to farm.

"Ah, you still have to farm after becoming an immortal?"

"Then are you going?"

"Go, it's all farming anyway, I want to farm the immortal's fields too."

"Okay, then go back soon,"

one of them said. They didn't investigate too much. First, they didn't believe that a child and a casual Qi-training cultivator would dare to deceive them. Second, even if they were to join the sect, it would depend on the situation. If they were just outer disciples, it didn't matter, since they couldn't get in touch with the core anyway. If they were to join the inner sect, there would naturally be other people to check.

"Here are ten spirit stones for resettlement. He has no family anymore, so I'll give them to you."

The Five Elements Sect disciple threw ten spirit stones to Huang Liang for resettlement, and then flew away directly. Huang Liang looked at the spirit stones in his hand, but fell into deep thought.

That night, Huang Liang lit an oversized incense stick at home. When the incense spread throughout the village, he quietly took away several children, even those in slings. He was going to run away, and he didn't want his wife or concubines anymore. There were women everywhere, and children were his hope.

"Hmm..."

However, before he flew far, he saw a huge monster beside him. Turning his head, he saw a huge bird head appeared beside him. Huang Liang almost fell down.

······

"Name"

"Xiao Yi"

"Age"

"Fifteen"

"Spiritual roots"

"What"

"What's the matter? You don't even know your spiritual roots. Come here and test it again."

The outer sect disciple of the Five Elements Sect grumbled in dissatisfaction, then pulled Lin Jiang to the spirit testing platform, pierced Lin Jiang's finger, and dripped the liquid into the spirit testing platform.

"All five elements are full, and there are five spiritual roots again ."

"Immortal..."

"Call me uncle or senior brother in the future, don't call me immortal, it's embarrassing."

"Yes, uncle."

"Five spiritual roots, outer sect, next one."

The disciple wrote down Lin Jiang's identity on the jade butterfly, and then called the next one.

"Uncle Master, our Five Elements Sect focuses on the five spiritual roots, why are they still outer disciples?"

said a young man next to Lin Jiang. Lin Jiang looked back and thanked him in his heart. He also wanted to ask this question.

"What a joke. Eight out of ten immortal cultivators have either five or four spiritual roots. If we respect five spiritual roots, then everyone is an inner disciple?"

"But, Uncle Master, that's what people say outside."

"It's just a rumor, but the Five Elements Sect can indeed give you a chance to become an inner disciple or even a true disciple. This is an opportunity that other sects don't have. Someone will tell you the details later. Now the next one..."
