Li Bingxin gave a wry smile, "The problem is that there are too many people seeking immortality, but our sect has a limited number of disciples. In the past few days, all the disciples in the sect have been mobilized, and each person has to verify hundreds of people every day. Even so, we still don't have enough manpower."
Su Nian: "..."
He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
"Is it... really that exaggerated?"
Xu Xinrou shook her head again, sighed, and looked at Su Nian resentfully, "That's not all! Besides these disciples seeking immortality, the people coming to propose marriage are practically swarming our Ice Heart Peak. Princess of the Dynasty, female disciples of other sect elders, and renowned female cultivators... they all hope to hitch a ride on your ship as a future True Immortal. My master and I have barely rested these past few days, repeatedly emphasizing to them that you're not in the sect, before finally sending them off Ice Heart Peak. And what do you do... come back and yell like that? Now look what's happened, Ice Heart Peak is probably going to be in turmoil for the next few days..."
Su Nian then realized the magnitude of her mistake and wisely shut her mouth, not daring to utter a sound.
“Someone used to be known as the most handsome man in Rivet City, but in just over a month, he has become the most handsome man in the South.” Li Bingxin said to Xu Xinrou with a hint of resentment in her voice.
Xu Xinrou nodded, and said sourly, "Yes, someone's fame is so great now, it won't be long before he's rumored to be the most handsome man in Kyushu, right?"
"Sigh! Quanxiu is all female cultivators... The Second Elder specifically instructed me to control someone's private life and not let it become too chaotic, but there are so many female cultivators in Quanxiu, and some even sneak over to spy on us in the middle of the night, so many people... How can I manage them all by myself?" Li Bingxin sighed deeply, her tone resentful.
"It's alright, Master." Xu Xinrou held Li Bingxin's hand and comforted her, "No matter what happens, Xinrou will always be by your side and face it with you!"
Su Nian: "..."
The two of them talked back and forth, making Su Nian feel guilty.
This matter arose because of him, and he felt obligated to take responsibility for it.
He scratched his head, stood up, and said firmly, "Since they've all come for me, then I'll host the Quanxiu's apprentice recruitment ceremony this time!"
"Really?" Li Bingxin raised her eyebrows and looked at Su Nian, then became worried. "But they all came for you. If you show up, the situation will probably become even more difficult to control."
"It's alright! Don't worry, I can protect myself," Su Nian nodded and said.
Li Bingxin remembered his identity as a reincarnated immortal and nodded.
"Very well, I am content with your kind heart. You are now a beacon of light in the hearts of many, and any word you utter carries more weight than any of us."
Su Nian nodded.
This wasn't the first time he'd presided over a grand ceremony to seek immortality, so he naturally knew what to do.
but……
He pondered.
Since so many people have come seeking immortality this time, I must carefully select and find the best talents for the entire show.
Li Bingxin and Xu Xinrou exchanged a glance and smiled slightly, both satisfied with their cooperation.
At the foot of the mountain lies Rivet City.
A young girl came to the teahouse, ordered a pot of tea and two snacks, and sat quietly in a corner, resting her chin on her hand, watching the crowd gathered around her and listening to the storyteller's passionate words.
"Legend has it that there is a fairy mountain where heaven and earth meet, called Immortal Realm Mountain! This mountain is surrounded by immortal energy, and no one knows where it is!" The storyteller stood on a wooden table, holding a folding fan in his hand, slowly swinging his arm horizontally, his voice as loud as a bell, resounding throughout the audience.
"If nobody knows, how can we prove its existence?" a listener in the crowd questioned.
"Hey! Sir, please don't be impatient. Let me tell you the story!" The storyteller closed his fan and continued, "Although no one has ever found the location of Immortal Mountain throughout history, there are people who have actually been there! As for how to get there, that is a closely guarded secret."
"Has anyone been there?" someone in the crowd asked.
The storyteller closed his folding fan, pointed to the horizon, and said, "Legend has it that twenty years ago, the Glazed Fairy of Quanxiu Glazed Immortal Mountain accidentally entered the Immortal Realm Mountain! She found an infant at the Immortal Spring at the foot of the mountain! Although this infant was still in swaddling clothes, he was blessed by heaven and earth! His whole body was surrounded by immortal energy, and he seemed to be a reincarnation of a true immortal! Twenty years have passed, and this infant has already made a name for himself in the cultivation world. When the cunning demon race plotted against our Holy Glory Sect, he displayed the great power of heaven! He held a thunder arrow in reverse and shot a hole in the blue sky with one arrow!"
Someone in the crowd realized, "You're not talking about Young Master Su, are you?"
"Hey! That's right!"
The crowd became lively, excitedly discussing among themselves that there hadn't been an immortal in the world for tens of thousands of years. If Su Nian was truly a reincarnated immortal, then they all had a chance to bask in the glory of a true immortal!
Among the crowd, Ye Hua wore a mask, using the alias Wang Mu, and sat alone in a corner drinking tea.
He gripped the teacup tightly, his eyes narrowing dangerously. "A reincarnated immortal... Hmph! I don't care whether you're a reincarnated immortal or not. I am the chosen one, and in the end, you will still die by my hand!"
