Chapter 3 Meeting the Master

The master of the temple said solemnly: "Whether Ji Changsheng is the reincarnation of a true immortal or he accidentally resolved a conspiracy for our Xuandu Temple, he is a seed of merit that our Xuandu Temple needs to vigorously support. Even if Ji Changsheng is not the reincarnation of a true immortal, we must cultivate him more carefully."

The other vein masters nodded in agreement.

Giving face to the master of the temple is one aspect, and on the other hand, the reincarnation of the true immortal has its own origin. But if Ji Changsheng is a blank slate, then it is obvious that he will have a stronger sense of belonging to Xuandu Temple.

Moreover, Xuandu Temple is the right path after all.

At a young age, Ji Changsheng had already become the mortal enemy of the Demon Leader.

If Xuandu Temple does not protect Ji Changsheng, how can it eliminate demons and defend the way of Taoism?

"I think Ji Changsheng can become my disciple..."

Before the master finished speaking, Li Changxi interrupted him: "Master, I have promised Ji Changsheng before. He has made great contributions in reporting the undercover of the Heavenly Demon Sect. As long as he can pass the assessment of inner disciples, he can become my disciple."

The faces of the Guanzhu and other pulse masters changed drastically.

It was even more terrifying than when he heard Yu Lao Mo's plan just now.

The master of the temple spoke subconsciously: "Absolutely not."

Li Changxi's face darkened instantly, and she said unhappily, "Master, do you think I can't be a good master just like everyone else?"

The master of the temple: “…”

How can I say it to save her some face?

The master of the temple was in a difficult situation.

The other clan leaders were not embarrassed. A big man with a curly beard spoke directly: "You have accepted eight disciples, and eight of them died. Ji Changsheng is a good boy, you should give him a chance to live."

Li Changxi said calmly, "Life is a dream, why bother about life and death. The splendor of life does not lie in its length, but in its breadth. Studying under me for ten years is better than living a hundred years in vain. Besides, cultivating immortals is against the will of heaven, and life and death are common. The eight disciples before were not strong enough, so they could not break the illusion of life and death. Ji Changsheng is different. He can condense merit petals in the Qi Refining Stage. I am optimistic that he will inherit my legacy and break the illusion and ascend to become a true immortal."

The bearded man sighed and said, "This is bad. She actually thought that she survived to this day by her own strength. It seems that she didn't take her medicine today and she got sick again."

Li Changxi sneered: "A mere fusion cultivator wants to ruin my Dao heart. I am normal, but you are sick, sinking into the illusion without knowing it. Forget it, summer insects cannot talk about ice, and cicadas do not know spring and autumn. There are some things that you will not understand even if I tell you. In short, only I can teach Ji Changsheng's seeds of merit, and giving them to you is a waste of good talent."

Everybody laughed.

The master of the temple coughed lightly and made the decision directly: "Let Ji Changsheng choose for himself."

…

While the temple master was talking to other vein masters, Ji Changsheng already felt that he was almost losing control of his cultivation and would be able to successfully build his foundation soon.

Laying the foundation is the second threshold to cultivating immortals, and it is also the most important threshold in the early stages to distinguish the talents of immortal cultivators.

Qi refining is used to exclude creatures without the talent for cultivating immortals, while foundation building will screen out those creatures with talent for cultivating immortals but not many. Generally, the elimination ratio at this stage is ten to one.

Since the Foundation Establishment Pill came out of nowhere, foundation establishment has become relatively easier, but it has only increased the ratio of foundation establishment to 8:1.

In the Qi-inducing Array, Ji Changsheng hesitated for a moment. As an undercover agent, would it be bad if he acted too high-profile?

A moment later, Ji Changsheng decisively stepped into the foundation-building stage.

Undercover? What undercover? I am the first new inner disciple of Xuandu Temple, the candidate for the future master of Xuandu Temple, and the rising star of the righteous immortal sect. What am I afraid of? Besides, a seed of merit like me, even if I want to keep a low profile, my strength does not allow it.

He kept a low profile when he was in the Demonic Sect, so he was sent to Xuandu Temple to die by a mere outer sect elder, and no one from the higher-ups of the Demonic Sect wanted to protect him.

He learned his lesson and became an unshakable genius in the eyes of the top leaders of Xuandu Temple.

After making up his mind, Ji Changsheng had already become a cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage. At the same time, he clearly felt that the bloody evil energy in his body had instantly surged, and his physique had instantly become more than ten times stronger than that of a cultivator in the Qi Refining Stage.

The energy of merit and the energy of blood and evil can be cultivated together. Ji Changsheng confirmed this and became more determined to be righteous and to follow the right path.

Ji Changsheng's breakthrough naturally attracted the attention of the master of the temple.

"Ji Changsheng's merits can directly advance him to the peak of the middle stage of foundation building, and his physique is far superior to that of normal cultivators. Hey, why is there still blood evil energy in his body?"

The master of the temple had a sharp gaze. Although Ji Changsheng tried his best to hide his bloody murderous aura, he still discovered some clues.

Li Changxi quickly offered her help: "After discovering that Bing Ziping was an undercover agent of the Heavenly Demon Sect, if it were an ordinary person, they would probably keep to themselves to avoid trouble. But Ji Changsheng decisively reported the information to me, which shows that this boy is determined to kill, and he is not an ordinary cultivator who has good intentions but no means. With his personality, he must have really killed demons in the past, so it is not surprising that he has a bit of bloody aura."

The master of the temple pondered for a moment and nodded slowly; "That makes sense."

In fact, whether it makes sense or not depends entirely on the viewer's thoughts.

But Ji Changsheng had made great contributions in reporting the illegitimate son of the leader of the Demonic Cult, and he had also shown enough talent, plus with the assist from Li Changxi, the master of the temple naturally thought it was reasonable.

When the situation is fifty-fifty, your own weight and your background and connections will determine the direction of things.

If Ji Changsheng had been found to have bloody evil aura before this inner sect assessment, he would definitely have been investigated.

But now... what Ji Changsheng needs to consider is which lineage leader to become his disciple.

Seeing that Ji Changsheng had successfully established his foundation and was showing a trend of continuing to improve his cultivation, the temple master, in order to prevent Ji Changsheng from blindly improving without an stable foundation, simply reached out and grabbed Ji Changsheng and pulled him out of the Qi-inducing Array.

Before Ji Changsheng could react, the outer sect elder immediately took the initiative to speak: "This is the abbot himself, and the eight meridian masters of my Xuandu Temple. Why don't you show your respect?"

Ji Changsheng felt nervous and quickly saluted.

The temple master said with a smile: "No need to be so polite, Ji Changsheng, I heard from Master Li that you reported an undercover agent of the Heavenly Demon Sect before?"

"yes."

The master of the temple looked at Ji Changsheng and liked him more and more. After all, he was his auspicious symbol in human form and the first peerless genius after he became the master of the temple.

But even though he liked her, he couldn't help but feel teasing.

"Do you know the identity of that undercover agent?"

Ji Changsheng was stunned. He was really stunned. There was no acting involved. "What other identities could an undercover agent of the Heavenly Demon Sect have? He should be an ordinary disciple of the Heavenly Demon Sect, right?"

"Unfortunately, you are lucky and have met a special undercover."

Ji Changsheng: “?”

The temple master chuckled and said, "The person you reported was the illegitimate son of Yu Lao Mo."

Ji Changsheng was still confused at this time: "Who is Yu Lao Mo?"

When he was in the Demonic Sect, he kept a low profile and didn't care about the changes in the outside world. He focused on practicing and wanted to take revenge on those disciples of the Demonic Sect who massacred his town, so he didn't know much about this world.

This is also consistent with an ordinary small town child's perception of the world.

After coming to Xuandu Temple, he behaved very timidly and never took the initiative to inquire about things that he shouldn't ask about.

So the temple master said that he really didn’t know the old demon Yu.

Then……

"I forgot that you were born as an ordinary child. Yu Lao Mo is the leader of the Heavenly Demon Cult and the most powerful demon in the world."

Ji Changsheng's brain buzzed and he felt as if he was falling into an icy cave.

Fuck you.

I just casually reported an undercover agent, but his background is so great? Is this the level of the illegitimate son of the leader of the evil cult?

Is the leader of the Demon Cult sick? He sent his own son to the grave of Xuandu Temple to dance? He became the mortal enemy of the most powerful demon in the world? I am an undercover agent of the Demon Cult, and I killed the son of the leader of the Demon Cult?

Ji Changsheng felt very regretful at this moment, and he should have been more merciful to his colleagues.

The master of the temple and the other vein masters all understood Ji Changsheng's confused and frightened reaction.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

A young cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage killed the illegitimate son of the most powerful demon in the world. Anyone would be scared.

However, the temple master still loves talents, and quickly said: "Don't worry too much, since you have joined Xuandu Temple, Xuandu Temple will protect you. Although Yu Lao Mo is strong, he can't do anything to us in Xuandu Temple. No one can touch the people who Xuandu Temple wants to protect."

In the end, the master's arrogance and pride were not concealed at all.

Ji Changsheng's mood did not ease much because of this.

He smiled bitterly and said, "It is impossible to be on guard against thieves for a thousand days. If the leader of the Heavenly Demon Cult wants to kill me, he has many ways to do it."

He is an undercover agent of the Demonic Cult.

God knows if there are other undercover agents in Xuandu Temple.

Ji Changsheng didn't feel safe at all.

The temple master understood Ji Changsheng's thoughts and comforted him, "Don't worry, the world of cultivation has its own rules. With Yu Lao Mo's status and position, he is not allowed to attack you, otherwise our Xuandu Temple will definitely retaliate equally or even double. Ji Changsheng, you have now officially joined the inner sect of Xuandu Temple. If there are masters of the demon sect who bully the weak and touch a hair on your body, Xuandu Temple will destroy all ten of their true disciples."

Ji Changsheng took a deep breath and took the initiative to thank the master: "Thank you for your protection."

He believed that the master of the temple was telling the truth and that Xuandu Temple was capable of doing this.

But it didn't work.

Old Demon Yu’s son died.

The hatred of killing a son is irreconcilable.

In the face of such hatred, expecting Yu Lao Mo to abide by the rules is completely ostrich behavior.

You can't expect a big evil man who is sending his son to his death to follow the rules.

That's too naive.

Li Changxi suddenly spoke up: "Your report on Bing Ziping has not been spread outside, so Old Demon Yu should not know about it."

Ji Changsheng's eyes lit up.

Yes.

He only told Li Daoyan, and then Li Daoyan told Li Changxi, and Li Changxi told the top management of Xuandu Temple.

As long as these people don't spread the news, Yu Lao Mo should not know.

The temple master also reacted and nodded, saying, "I will ask all those who know about this to swear an oath to the heavens that they will not spread this matter. Since you are a disciple of Xuandu Temple, Xuandu Temple will naturally protect you."

"Thank you, Master. Thank you, Master Li."

Ji Changsheng was not completely relieved, but it was somewhat of a comfort.

"Well, I called you here this time so that you can choose a master. We have seen your talent and contributions, and I would like to accept you as my disciple. Are you willing?"

The abbot took the initiative to extend the olive branch.

Ji Changsheng was very willing.

The master of the temple is naturally the strongest one, and this is the thickest thigh.

Moreover, the master of the temple did not hide his admiration for him, and he saw it all. If he became the master's disciple, his future should theoretically be bright.

However, the threat from Old Demon Yu was like a thorn in his side. Even though the temple master said that he would make all those who knew about it swear an oath to the Heaven, Ji Changsheng did not dare to be completely at ease.

In the world of cultivating immortals, even the dead cannot keep secrets completely.

It was hard for him to feel safe.

So Ji Changsheng hesitated for a moment, but still spoke boldly: "Disciple, I dare to ask who is stronger, the temple master or Yu Lao Mo?"

The master of the temple: “…”

Ji Changsheng was very disappointed.

The silence of the master was deafening.

He looked at the other vein masters.

But no one spoke.

Ji Changsheng felt even colder.

It seems that he can't find a master stronger than Yu Lao Mo.

At this moment, Li Changxi stepped forward and said with a smile: "Old Demon Yu is the strongest demon in the world. Even in our Xuandu Temple, there is only one person who can truly suppress Old Demon Yu, and she is also recognized as the best in the world - Fairy Linglong. Unfortunately, Fairy Linglong is now focusing all her attention on transcending the tribulation and ascending to heaven. She will definitely not accept you as her disciple."

Without waiting for Ji Changsheng to be disappointed, Li Changxi continued: "Fairy Linglong is my mother!"

Ji Changsheng bowed without saying anything and said, "Greetings, Master!"
