Xiaoyue Immortal Sect.
Today is the once-in-a-century recruitment fair of the Xiaoyue Immortal Sect.
At the foot of the mountain, a large crowd gathered, and Qin Shou stood silently among them.
It has been more than three months since he ascended to heaven.
For the past three months, he dared not walk with his head up, dared not speak loudly, and even when a dog barked at him from the roadside, he resisted the urge to slap it. He was afraid that this immortal realm was full of powerful beings, and that if he slapped a dog, a great Buddha might jump out and kill him.
However, he hasn't been completely idle these past few months.
He had been working hard to gather information on purchasing and had come to understand his current situation.
The Immortal Realm has three thousand Immortal Domains. The Immortal Domain he is currently in is called the Crimson Cloud Immortal Domain. The Crimson Cloud Immortal Domain has three thousand Immortal States, and the territory of any one of them is larger than the entire Tianxuan Continent.
When he first learned about it, he was really afraid that Qin Shou would shock him. Therefore, he became more cautious and kept the words "Gou Dao" in mind at all times.
So what he needs to do now is to join a sect, obtain a 'Celestial Certificate', and become a legitimate 'native' of this world.
However, choosing a sect requires utmost care.
After careful consideration, he finally chose the Little Moon Immortal Sect.
There are three reasons:
The Little Moon Immortal Sect is located in the Moon Immortal Continent, a relatively remote location. It is one of the three major True Immortal Sects in the Moon Immortal Continent, with several True Immortals guarding the sect. Its strength is relatively formidable. If one hides their cultivation and stays inside, no one can discover their identity. They can also receive the sect's protection and have a certain sense of security.
2. It is said that the Little Moon Immortal Sect has friendly rules, and the disciples help each other. There is less of the deceit and treachery in the cultivation world. The sect emphasizes treating people with kindness and valuing harmony. They never make enemies easily. It is the best place to build a "nest of peace".
3 Hearing that the female disciples of the Little Moon Immortal Sect were numerous and beautiful, he had no other intention than to test his own Dao heart.
Another thing is that he happened to be there during the Little Moon Immortal Sect's recruitment fair, and he didn't want to travel any further.
Thump! Thump! Thump!
The bell tolled three times, its sound echoing throughout half of the immortal land.
The admissions meeting has officially begun.
An old man appeared on the cloud platform ahead, along with several young men and women.
"Following the line, each person step forward one by one, stating their name, cultivation level, and place of origin... Then place your palm on the Immortal Testing Stone to verify your talent and potential. The Immortal Testing Stone has nine colors; each additional color indicates a greater strength of your talent and potential..."
The white-haired old man's voice was calm, yet it clearly reached everyone's ears. Then, one by one, the cultivators at the front of the line stepped forward and placed their palms on the Immortal Testing Stone.
"Zhang Tianyuan, 7,300 years of Dao experience, perfected Body Integration stage, ascended cultivator from the Heavenly Fire Realm, possesses two colors of talent, two-star talent, average potential, not suitable for advancement..."
"The Immortal of Wine Transformation, with a cultivation age of 3,412, at the second level of the Tribulation Transcending Realm, is an ascended cultivator from the Water Element Realm. He possesses four colors, a four-star talent, and moderate potential. He may advance..."
"Nangong Tianli, Dao age 921, seventh level of the Integration Realm, cultivator from Xianle City, Moon Immortal State, Crimson Cloud Immortal Domain, four colors, four-star talent, medium potential, eligible to advance..."
"Bei Gongxuan, 620 years of Dao age, Level 1 Void Realm cultivator, ascended from the Li Huo Minor World, three-color cultivation, three-star talent, lower-middle potential..."
“............”
The cultivators who came here today to participate in the recruitment include native cultivators of the Immortal Realm and cultivators who have ascended from various small worlds. Their cultivation levels are also different. The Little Moon Immortal Sect does not set cultivation level for each recruitment event; it mainly looks at potential.
Although the cultivators in the lower small world are much older than the native cultivators of the Immortal Realm within the same realm, they are in different cultivation worlds and therefore cannot be compared.
After all, the laws of the upper realm are perfect and the spiritual energy is abundant, while the various small worlds are extremely barren compared to the upper realm... But precisely because of this, those cultivators who can ascend all possess some potential.
The path to immortality is cruel. Every year, millions of cultivators ascend to heaven, but through the process of natural selection, only a tiny fraction—less than one in ten thousand—can become True Immortals. And of those who can advance further beyond True Immortal, almost one in a million remains, and the difference is even greater for those who go higher…
"Master, is there any way to evade the detection of the Immortal Testing Stone?"
Call me "Father," and I will cover up your secrets.
"Hmph, a true man can bend and stretch, Father, please cover for me."
"...You're so spineless!"
"Can backbone feed you?" Qin Shou rolled his eyes. "You talk as if you have backbone? You don't even have any bones!"
【...Why do I feel like you're insulting me??】
"Be confident, and get rid of the 'feeling'."
【...........】
"Next. "
The woman on the platform who was taking notes called out.
Qin Shou immediately trotted forward with a smile on his face.
"Hello, Senior Sister. My name is Qin Haoren, I am 4,400 years old, and I have reached the third level of Tribulation Transcending cultivation. I come from the Peach Blossom Minor World..."
As he spoke, Qin Shou placed his palm on the Immortal Testing Stone. With a hum, four colors lit up. Just as the fifth color was about to light up, Qin Shou had a thought, and the colors dimmed again.
The woman glanced at the Qin beast a few more times, then lowered her head to take notes.
"Qin Haoren, Dao age 4,400, Tribulation Stage 3, ascended cultivator from the Peach Blossom Minor World, four colors, talent 4.5 stars, potential above average, eligible to advance..."
The woman paused in her grip on the pen, then added a sentence: "He is very handsome."
Qin Shou glanced at the line of small print, his lips twitching, his eyes lowered, pretending not to see it... He secretly memorized the woman's appearance, thinking to himself, "She has such good taste. When I become powerful in the future, I can reward her by making her a member of my harem."
But that's absolutely not possible now. I made a decision before my ascension: I will never touch a beautiful woman before I become an Immortal Emperor. Never.
"Junior Brother, this is your token. Welcome to our Little Moon Immortal Sect." The woman smiled and handed over a token containing Qin Beast's information. "Normally, cultivators recruited today need to undergo three years of assessment in the outer sect. Only those who pass are qualified to enter the inner sect for cultivation and enjoy the resources of inner sect disciples. However, I have a recommendation spot, which I'm giving to you today. I believe you will definitely become outstanding in the future. Keep it up!"
The girl clenched her small, pink fist to cheer for Qin Beast, a scene that truly made the other cultivators still in line extremely envious. Some even said indignantly:
"Why? I'm younger than him in cultivation, and our levels are about the same. Why can't I win my senior sister's favor? This isn't fair!"
"Yes, it's unfair!"
"I object! I'm reporting this! I'll testify! There's something fishy going on!"
Once one person starts, others will join.
But in the end, the woman in the pink dress glared at them and swept her sleeve, sending them all flying.
"Quiet down. Anyone who keeps chattering will be thrown out."
The crowd fell silent instantly.
Only then did they realize that this was the realm of immortals.
"Alright, my dear junior brother, let me take you to your cave."
The woman in the pink dress gave Qin Shou a playful smile, then turned and tugged at Qin Shou's sleeve as they walked into the sect.
"Senior Sister Nan Yue, the recruitment fair isn't over yet, you can't leave..." a disciple from the Immortal Sect reminded her.
But she was quickly glared at back by the woman in the pink dress.
"Let Xiao Heizi take over my job."
After saying that, he pulled Qin Beast and flew into the clouds.
Once the woman in the pink dress had walked away, the silent crowd erupted in loud protests.
"Damn it! Why can that kid go straight into the inner sect while we have to stay in the outer sect for three years and take the assessment? I'm not having it!"
"I'm not convinced either! That guy's cultivation is just a tiny bit higher than mine, he's a tiny bit more handsome, and his talent is a tiny bit better..."
"Exactly, exactly, what a piece of junk, ptooey..."
"Alright, quiet down, continue lining up for the test."
A disciple of the Immortal Sect shouted.
They were also helpless. Senior Sister Nan Yue's actions violated the rules, but she was the sect leader's beloved disciple, and there was nothing they could do about it.
......
On the cloud-covered steps of a celestial mountain shrouded in mist.
The woman in the pink dress walked ahead.
Qin Beast followed behind.
He's still a bit confused. He was trying to keep a low profile and blend into the crowd, but how did the plot suddenly get out of control?
"My name is Nan Yue." The woman in the pink dress turned around and asked, "Junior brother, what's your name?"
Didn't you already ask that?
Qin Shou muttered to himself, but still replied with a smile, "Replying to Senior Sister, my name is Qin Haoren."
"Hmm, I can tell, junior brother, you must be a very good person."
The woman in the pink dress smiled sweetly, her eyebrows curving into crescent moons.
At this moment, Qin Shou looked at her as if she were the most beautiful peach blossom on the mountain, and he was amazed by her beauty.
Indeed, the women in the celestial realm are all very beautiful.
How did she figure out I was a good person...?
But I am indeed a good person... I can only say that she has a really good eye for people.
"Junior brother, has anyone ever told you that you are very handsome?"
"Yes, everyone there says that."
"Junior brother, with your handsome looks, you must have many women pursuing you, right?"
"Uh...no, that's not the case."
"Oh? So, Junior Brother, you don't have a Daoist partner yet?"
The woman in the pink dress stood gracefully on the cloud steps, her hands behind her back.
In that instant, Qin Shou became alert. That look in her eyes... something was wrong, very wrong... this girl probably had her eye on me.
Damn it, it's all because of my darn good looks.
I should have covered my face in the first place.
Unfortunately, it's too late now.
Suddenly I have this feeling that a little white rabbit is about to fall into the wolf's mouth...
No, before I ascended to immortality, I secretly swore a solemn oath that I would never touch a beautiful woman unless I became an Immortal Emperor.
"Reporting to Senior Sister, from the first day I embarked on the path of cultivation, my master warned me that we cultivators should be single-minded in pursuing the Dao, while beauty is a steel knife that can scrape our bones and marrow, eroding our essence, energy and spirit, and hindering us from reaching the pinnacle of the Great Dao."
Therefore, before the Great Dao is perfected, in my eyes, there is no concept of beauty, only rosy skeletons.
Qin Shou's body was imposing, and his voice was powerful and resonant.
"Junior brother, you look so charming when you're focused."
Nan Yue smiled and reached out her slender, jade-like hand to pinch Qin Shou's cheek.
Qin Shou was instantly embarrassed, but he still tried to remain calm.
"What a pity, junior brother, you're so handsome..."
Nan Yue seemed somewhat regretful.
They continued forward with the Qin beast.
"Junior brother, this is your cave dwelling."
Soon, the Qin beast arrived at its cave dwelling.
The Xiaoyue Immortal Sect has many immortal mountains. The immortal mountain where Qin Beast is located is called "Xianluo Mountain". Halfway up the mountain, there is a cave with the number "six" written on it, which is probably the sixth cave on this mountain.
“Junior brother, this is Luoxian Mountain, where the inner disciples live. Your cave dwelling is the sixth one,” Nan Yue introduced to Qin Shou. “The higher the level of the cave dwelling, the richer the spiritual energy inside. If the first five cave dwellings weren’t already occupied, your senior sister would definitely get you a better one.”
"Senior sister, you're so kind!" Qin Shou was moved.
Seriously, he was devastated. He really made the right choice coming to this immortal sect. The disciples here seemed very friendly, although his own face was largely to blame.
"Alright, junior brother, you can open the cave dwelling with your identity jade token. It's getting late, so take your time to familiarize yourself with it. Another day, your senior sister will personally show you around the sect's scenery."
"Thank you, senior sister." But all I want is to cultivate in peace.
Qin Shou smiled, but inwardly resisted. He opened the cave and went inside.
