"Master, we are still here!"
Only then did Mu Chunqiu snap out of his momentary lament. The grief in Lu Yan's heart quietly disappeared, allowing Lu Yan to breathe a slight sigh of relief.
"Lu's Divine Soul is quite unique, able to resist the emotional fluctuations of this realm."
Mu Chunqiu remarked with some wonder.
"As for Lu's wish, I'm afraid this old man cannot fulfill it.
The Taiyi Immortal is indeed the most frequently observed among the ten great sects, but even for the Thirteen Vessel Leaders, catching a glimpse of him is as difficult as ascending to the heavens."
"However, if Lu has anything to discuss, feel free to mention it. This old man has some connections and might be able to offer some help to Lu."
Lu Yan felt a wave of hesitation, but after a moment, decided to reveal part of the truth.
"This matter is related to an outsider evil... "
Just as Lu Yan began to speak, Mu Chunqiu immediately raised a hand to stop him.
"Do not speak of this matter!"
Mu Chunqiu's expression was solemn as he said: "The methods of outsider evils are mysterious, and anything related to them could involve endless calamity and causality.
This old man still wishes to live for several thousand more years in pursuit of the immortal path and does not want to be entangled in the unexpected involvement with outsider evils."
Mu Chunqiu's solemn expression sent a chill down Lu Yan's spine.
In Lu Yan's understanding, Mu Chunqiu seemed to be the strongest person he had ever met, and those Nascent Soul True Monarchs outside probably wouldn't withstand even a single move from him.
Yet, Mu Chunqiu's cautious attitude towards outsider evils made Lu Yan increasingly aware of the danger behind them.
At this moment, Mu Chunqiu had already slowly stood up from the Lotus Platform, pacing back and forth above the Spirit Pool, pondering with a grave expression.
After a while, Mu Chunqiu spoke to Lu Yan:
"Conventional methods indeed cannot meet the Taiyi Immortal, but there is one exception, which is the promotion of True Disciples.
Our Taiyi Sect's Sect Leader and Elder positions are merely nominal, and the only recognized positions within the sect are the Thirteen Vessel Leaders and the Thirty-Six True Disciples.
Whenever a new True Disciple is promoted, they may visit the sect's ancestral master. If you are truly entangled with an outsider evil, there is a high probability you can use this opportunity to meet the Taiyi Immortal." Thıs content belongs to 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝✦𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖✦𝕟𝕖𝕥
Lu Yan was moved, having sought immortality for so long, he finally saw a glimmer of hope before Mu Chunqiu, and immediately expressed his gratitude:
"Thank you, True Monarch Mu, for making this possible!"
But Mu Chunqiu immediately stopped him by saying: "Do not hurry to thank me, competing for the position of True Disciple is no easy task. Your mere Early Stage of Foundation Establishment cultivation makes it impossible."
He Dongsheng, noticing the situation, spoke up to support: "Brother Lu is not an ordinary Early Stage Foundation Establishment cultivator. He just defeated Mo Yangzi head-on, exposing Mo Yangzi's corruption by an outsider evil."
This time it was Mu Chunqiu's turn to be surprised.
"Defeating an Early Stage Golden Core with Early Stage Foundation Establishment? Though the strength is still lacking, such extraordinary talent indeed qualifies to participate in the competition for True Disciple."
"However, to participate in the True Disciple assembly, you need at least a recommendation from a Vessel Leader.
Our Four Seasons Vessel still has two recommendation slots, but the True Disciple slot is far more precious than ordinary treasures, the previous promise is far from sufficient to exchange for a recommendation slot.
If you can offer something that satisfies me, I will assist you in the True Disciple competition."
Mu Chunqiu's words immediately sparked He Dongsheng's dissatisfaction, he spoke loudly:
"Are you implying that saving my life by Brother Lu doesn't even equal a True Disciple recommendation slot?
In any case, our Four Seasons Vessel is just you and me left, so let's give one recommendation slot to Brother Lu!"
While speaking, He Dongsheng winked at Lu Yan.
Upon hearing this, Mu Chunqiu glanced at He Dongsheng in annoyance.
"The position of True Disciple concerns the foundation of our Taiyi Sect, how can it be treated so frivolously?"
For He Dongsheng's assistance, Lu Yan was quite moved but did not intend to trouble him.
Long before coming to see Mu Chunqiu, Lu Yan had already made some preparations in his heart.
Seeing Mu Chunqiu deep in thought, Lu Yan solemnly bowed and said:
"I have heard, True Monarch, that you obtained the Longevity Immortal Technique in the Beimang Tomb.
I have come today to assist True Monarch in comprehending the Longevity Immortal Technique, to resolve True Monarch's perplexity!"
