Even Zhao Xin was saved by Ning Yao back then because he was corrupted by the turbid energy.
These familiar events and people, presented before us, only illustrate one point.
Turbid air can be deadly, but it can also bring good fortune.
The election lasted for a full month, selecting a total of 400 outer disciples. With the addition of the Nine-Petal Lotus, the total number of outer disciples reached 500.
The other thirty inner disciples and seven personal disciples.
The Ning family members don't need to participate; they are born with preferential treatment.
None of the five hundred outer disciples had spiritual roots, but they all had some comprehension or other achievements.
Ning Yao and Ning Que Linyu both agreed to wait a year or two before having them temper their bodies.
I'll try to temper my body with turbid energy and see if I can cultivate a spiritual root.
The inner disciples are all either single-spiritual-roots or dual-spiritual-roots. These people are born with their own spiritual roots and are naturally suited for cultivation.
Therefore, they all have impressive backgrounds.
For example, military generals, civil officials, and wealthy merchants.
Inner disciples also need to undergo body tempering after a year or two.
Finally, there were seven direct disciples: Yun Xiang Nanshan, Yun Xiang Nanxi, Hua Yan, Lin Qinglan, Xiao Yuanhuai, Consort Jiang, and a member of the Jiang Yu clan.
Lin Qingyu was originally quite talented, but his ambitions lay elsewhere.
At Ning Yao's urging, he chose to stay in the sect for two years as a nominal disciple.
He returned to the imperial court two years later.
Ning Yao also wanted Lin Qingyu to have the ability to protect himself when he entered the imperial court in the future.
The first Thousand Illusions Sect selection has concluded, and those who have joined the sect have begun their daily cultivation.
But the excitement outside the sect was not over yet.
Because the Thousand Illusions Sect announced that, in order to expand the sect, the first three sect selections would be held once a year.
Starting from the fourth edition, it became a triennial event.
Starting from the second session, the age range for selecting disciples by the sect is from three years old to forty years old, regardless of gender.
Those over forty years old, if they have talent, may be exceptionally made to become outer disciples!
Meanwhile, the Thousand Illusions Sect will select disciples from all walks of life and all industries in various ways at any time, and the opportunities are uncertain.
This news gave hope to those who were unable to run for office.
Even those who were not selected saw hope again.
People who are restricted by age are not angry.
If you can't do it yourself, then raise your sons and grandsons!
If your sons and grandsons aren't good enough, then raise your daughters and granddaughters!
In order to seize the opportunity, many people choose to settle down in Licheng.
Some families even moved their entire families to Licheng.
Ning Yao even received news that the family that sold her the manor and moved to the capital was now planning to move back.
They inquired about their original businesses, intending to buy them back.
But after hearing the news from the city and seeing what he saw with his own eyes, he immediately gave up the idea.
Finally, someone delivered a message, expressing a desire to buy back the three-courtyard house in the city.
Ning Yao agreed without hesitation, and then, as if she had just thought of something, she said to Zhilan, "You handle this matter personally."
"After they move in, take them to the Pinglan Tower to test their spiritual roots."
Zhilan nodded.
She herself now possesses dual spiritual roots and could have become an inner disciple, but she chose to continue helping Ning Yao manage internal and external affairs and businesses.
As early as when Ning Yao finished her seclusion, she and Ning Lang went to ask for a favor.
They are now engaged, and the wedding is scheduled for early March next year.
Ning Lang has a single spiritual root and mediocre talent. He prefers being a butler to cultivating.
Therefore, Ning Yao entrusted the vast Ning family manor and all its properties to the two of them to manage.
We will definitely still stay at the Ning family manor, but now the whole family lives on the clan land, so we only stay at the manor for a short time.
In Prince Duan's family, everyone except Prince Duan himself had spiritual roots, which were not detected.
Prince Duan has no spiritual root, only slightly better aptitude, but his path to immortality is a distant dream.
Yun Xiangnan was found to have a single spiritual root, but for the sake of her husband, she chose not to cultivate.
Yun Xiang Nanshan and Yun Xiang Lingyu are direct disciples and are destined to embark on the path of cultivation.
The high priest and the clan chief both possessed a single spiritual root, but due to their advanced age, they chose not to cultivate.
Shen Ci'an possesses dual spiritual roots and is only fifteen years old. If he were to undergo body tempering, he would undoubtedly become a personal disciple.
But after the battle of Moon City, he seemed to have found his goal.
So, like Lin Qingyu, he chose to become a nominal disciple, stay in the sect for two years, and then return to the imperial court.
We'll come back once the situation settles down.
As Shen Ci'an grew older, he realized how big the gap was between him and Ning Yao.
Ning Yao is now the leader of the Thousand Illusions Sect, the number one cultivator in the world.
But he was just an ordinary mortal, and he had the responsibility of ruling the entire Chu kingdom on his shoulders.
One step behind leads to another.
He began to learn to restrain his feelings and bury that flutter in his heart.
In this sect selection, he was among the crowd, while she stood at the pinnacle.
With just one glance, he knew she could see him.
But so what?
The difference between them is more than just a little bit.
Since we can't catch up, let's realize her thoughts and wishes little by little!
He knew that all the actions his uncle took before his abdication were her ideas.
Now that the new emperor has ascended the throne, those policies still need to be implemented.
Since the Imperial Uncle has left, then I'll do it myself!
If I choose it myself, does that mean I'm in sync with her?
Thinking of this, Shen Ci'an's handsome eyebrows relaxed, like an immortal in a painting.
When Ning Yao approached, she saw this scene.
The boy was tall and straight, already much taller than her.
The fiery red fox fur cloak made her skin appear even whiter.
Her long, beautiful eyebrows and eyes were exquisite; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call her a femme fatale who could bring ruin to a country.
