After being tied to a bed and humiliated by Hu Niang for years, exhausting eight or nine hundred years of his cultivation, in the end, it was still he who personally carried out such a plan of investigation…
Niu Benben forcefully slapped his forehead as a hot tear rolled down.
His body was of the Human Race; not even a Golden Immortal could see any flaw in it, which was the marvelous part of the Qingqiu Secret Technique.
To come to Wanyun Sect, Niu Benben was only for two things!
First, to confirm whether Wanyun Sect really had a Daluo Golden Immortal.
Second, to uncover the secret of the Great Wealth Immortal of Wanyun Sect and the Daluo Pre-Immortal Enlightenment.
The first task, Niu Benben had actually already completed.
After entering Wanyun Sect’s Mountain Protection Array, he used seven or eight kinds of ancient probing secret techniques, and the final conclusion was that there were no Taiyi Golden Immortals, nor Daluo Golden Immortals of such high expertise here.
Of course, Niu Benben did not dare be careless, as he clearly sensed the Dao Charm of three Golden Immortals.
Every Human Race Golden Immortal was a formidable character.
This was his father’s admonition to him on his deathbed.
‘Come to think of it, this Wanyun Sect has quite a lot of rules.
You have to wait in the Floating Cloud Pavilion to see if any Immortal takes disciples; otherwise, you have to do chores in the outer sect?’
‘If this king were in charge of this sect, then I would simply let the disciples fight to the death, and the last one standing would be the fiercest!’
Following that thought, Niu Benben started to worry.
The Qingqiu Secret Technique also had a drawback—this Human Race body he had cultivated had the potential for immortal cultivation and some fate, but neither was particularly high.
After all, it was an imitation of the Human Race.
If no Immortal took a liking to [Young A’niu], was he really going to lodge his demon soul in this wretched place and muddle along for three years?
What about after three years?
If he joined the outer sect, would he move to another mountain peak to cultivate?
This place didn’t even have any food to eat; when hungry, one actually had to eat Elixir Pills.
Can these Elixir Pills stave off hunger?
This Five Grains Pill…
The teenager that Niu Benben transformed into sniffed with his nose, frowned, and looked at the pill in his hand as if he was about to put a hot iron into his mouth.
Closing his eyes, he put the Five Grains Pill into his mouth and tried to chew it.
What is this, what is this!
A rich fragrance burst forth from his teeth, like a traveler walking through the desert suddenly seeing a river akin to a silver belt.
The desert was swept away by a gentle breeze, as if he were in the midst of the boundless grasslands, making Niu Benben involuntarily let out a mooing sound.
The essence of plants and trees!
This small Elixir Pill actually contained so much of the essence of plants and trees, and such sweet essence at that!
Niu Benben abruptly stood up, gazed at the few Five Grains Pills in his palm, and silently shed tears.
If he could bring this kind of Elixir Pills back to Niu Village, how would the Clan Leader Grandmother praise him!
The Human Race’s alchemy, truly magical!
Their newly begun disciples could actually enjoy such a delicacy; it was simply…
‘Hmm, let’s add a third goal then, to learn alchemy!’
Niu Benben flipped back onto the clay bed, took a gentle breath, carefully stored away the few Five Grains Pills, then pinched another, and held it up to his nose to sniff deeply.
He lay down slowly, placing the Five Grains Pill into his mouth and began to wriggle on the clay bed.
Elixir Pills with the flavor of the essence of plants and trees are truly great for the Niu Tribe!
Outside the small courtyard of the Floating Cloud Pavilion where Niu Qi stayed.
A man and a woman were passing by, both turning their heads to glance at the courtyard.
With a puzzled face, Ningning Mu asked softly, “Elder Brother, are the junior disciples now so excited over a single Elixir Pill?”
Li Ping’an smiled and said, “It must be because they’ve been longing for the path to immortality and have finally found it.
It’s fairly amusing.”
The two exchanged a look and strolled toward the small building where Li Ping’an once lived.
The duty officer here had changed to an older one, a bit slower in reaction, and had now recognized Li Ping’an’s figure, hurrying forward.
The old minister bowed and said, “Greetings to the Grand Enlightenment Pre-Immortal.”
Minister, please refrain!”
Li Ping’an and Ningning Mu quickly returned the greeting with a Daoist salute.
With a serious face, Li Ping’an said, “Why would a minister show such a courtesy to a disciple?
You’re overly flattering me!”
The minister smiled warmly and said, “You’re too humble.
Who doesn’t know that becoming an immortal is as easy for you as drinking tea and wine, a matter of course…
Have you come to the Floating Cloud Pavilion today to choose a disciple in advance?”
Li Ping’an shook his head with a smile and spoke slowly, “Lately, I’ve suddenly missed this place.
I lived here for three years.
Back then, it was Minister Weiyen who was stationed here.
Today, I suddenly felt like visiting.”
The old minister’s eyes filled with expectation: “Please, this way.
We’ve always been taking care of your small building.”
“Thank you, Minister.
You’ve gone to a lot of trouble,” Li Ping’an thanked with a bow, following the old minister at a leisurely pace.
Ningning Mu crisply said, “Elder Brother, look, the courtyards inside the Floating Cloud Pavilion are almost all filled up.”
Li Ping’an looked around, seeing unfamiliar yet youthful faces and noticing a few disciples with exceptional potential.
The old minister sighed with emotion: “This is all thanks to the Castcloud Hall by Ancestral Master Dazhi, and the reputation of the Grand Enlightenment Pre-Immortal.
Now, when we search for Immortal Sprouts in the neighboring Immortal Dynasty, we always encounter Loose Cultivators bringing their children to join the buzz.
Nowadays, everyone in East Continent says that our Wanyun Sect is good for cultivation and abundant in blessings; our Floating Cloud Pavilion’s courtyards are almost not enough.”
Li Ping’an nodded with a smile, a hint of emotion stirring within him.
Suddenly, a somewhat trembling young male voice came from behind him: “Is, is it you?”
Li Ping’an turned instinctively and saw the young boy in an oversized blue Daoist Robe.
The boy was not tall, his face still showing signs of youth, yet there was already a sense of rightness and dignity about him, with an air of maturity beyond his years.
