Lord Daoist Lingxi formed his Nascent Soul at the age of two hundred. With the help of his spiritual root, he was diligent and had many opportunities.
However, no matter how many opportunities he had, he had never seen so many top-grade medicinal pills.
Lord Daoist Huayan enthusiastically introduced to him, "Lingxi, you probably haven't seen this before. This is the Longevity Pill."
Unexpectedly, Lord Daoist Lingxi said, "I've seen the Longevity Pill in my master's place, but it's of a higher grade."
"Oh …" Lord Daoist Huayan remembered that his master, Lord Daoist Tianyun, had taken the Longevity Pill, but he died in the end.
He said with a smile, "This Longevity Pill is unusual. It can increase one's lifespan by five hundred years."
He said it casually, intending to shock Lord Daoist Lingxi. This time, he finally got what he wanted. Lord Daoist Lingxi was so surprised that he couldn't speak.
"Really?"
"Of course."
"Five hundred years. If this news gets out, I'm afraid the world will be shocked." Lord Daoist Lingxi calmed down immediately and thought of this.
"Yes," Lord Daoist Huayan said, "Not only the Longevity Pill, but also other medicinal pills and spiritual herbs.
Ten thousand years of fruit, which can help people form their Nascent Souls, and some can even be used to break through the Nascent Soul realm. We might not be able to get these medicinal pills even if we risked our lives in the past.
Besides, we also have the Constitution-Enhancing Pill. It can be said that our cultivation progress and realms may increase to an incredible level.
If these things are leaked, it will bring great trouble to the sect. "
There was no way the Dao Lords hadn't thought about what Daolord Rhino said.
"So, confidentiality is the top priority.
The fewer people who know about this batch of materials, the better. "
As soon as Lord Daoist Jinghe finished speaking, Lord Daoist Lingxi wondered, "Who will know if we don't tell them?"
Lord Daoist Huayan shook his head. "Lingxi, there's more than what we have. There's another batch."
"There's another batch?" Lord Daoist Lingxi's eyes widened in surprise.
Lord Daoist Huayan said, "Those things are not as precious as what we have, but they are much more valuable to the sect than what we have."
Lord Daoist Lingxi was speechless.
He knew the weight of the Qiankun Bag in his hand. If it was more than that, how valuable would it be?
He stared at Mo Tiange and Qin Xi with admiration in his eyes.
"Senior Martial Brother Shoujing, Junior Martial Sister Qingwei, could it be that you've plundered some great ancient sect's collection?"
Lingxi's half-joking words made the two of them smile.
With a smile, Mo Tiange said, "How could the books and records of a great ancient cultivation group only contain these?
Unfortunately, when we went to the Returning Ruins Sea last time, we didn't manage to move that immortal palace's storehouse back. Otherwise … "
"You little girl, you really don't know what greed is!"
Lord Daoist Jinghe blew his beard, pointed at Qin Xi, and said, "When this brat was in the Foundation Building realm, he discovered the remains of a great Middle Ages cultivation group. Several great cultivation groups divided a lot of resources, but those were only a few small storehouses. How could the storehouses of a great Middle Ages cultivation group be easily moved by others?"
The four of them talked among themselves, but none of them asked about the source of the resources. Mo Tiange felt at ease. She thought what Qin Xi said was right — they wouldn't insist on knowing where these treasures came from. She should have more confidence in the sect.
Because of this batch of medicinal pills and spiritual herbs, the Lord Daoists made several decisions.
First of all, Lord Daoist Huayan, who had enough lifespan, would return to the sect and enter Closed Door Meditation like them, trying to advance to the middle stage. Second, Lord Daoist Jinghe had to guard the sect for a long time and train disciples. It would be best if he could train a new generation of Nascent Soul Lord Daoists in the next few hundred years.
As for Xuanyin and Miaoyi, they could only be temporarily sacrificed.
"Senior Martial Brother, what about me?" Lord Daoist Lingxi asked.
Lord Daoist Huayan said, "The three of you, just focus on cultivation as before."
"This … Senior Martial Brothers and Sisters are all busy, but I don't care about anything. I even got so many treasures for free …"
"Lingxi," Lord Daoist Jinghe interrupted him, "You're the disciples with the most promising prospects in the sect. The advancement of your cultivation level is the enhancement of the sect's strength, and you're also working for the sect. Don't think too much and just focus on Closed Door Meditation."
"And you two." Lord Daoist Jinghe turned to Mo Tiange and Qin Xi. "I heard you said you're in Closed Door Meditation, but there are people coming and going in your caves. What's going on?"
Qin Xi said, "Master, since we're in Closed Door Meditation, we naturally have to deal with trivial matters first."
"You have so many trivial matters?"
Lord Daoist Jinghe looked at Mo Tiange. "You accepted two formation masters as registered disciples. Do you want to pass on what you've learned?"
Mo Tiange nodded and said, "I always feel that I won't have this leisure in the future. I'm not like Senior Martial Brother Zhenyang and Senior Martial Brother Huayan who have many disciples and inheritance.
If I don't pass them on now, I'm afraid I won't be able to pass on what I've learned. "
Lord Daoist Huayan sighed. "Qingwei, it's Xuanqing School's good fortune that you think like this."
Mo Tiange didn't know whether it was Xuanqing School's good fortune or not, but she just thought it was the right thing to do.
The Lord Daoists exchanged some information before going back to their respective caves.
When they returned to their caves, Qin Xi saw Mo Tiange had a lot on her mind, so he asked, "What's wrong?"
Mo Tiange shook her head and then nodded. "I'm thinking, who should I pass the Art of Engineering to?"
Qin Xi didn't answer immediately. Instead, he sighed and reached out to touch her head. "How about we also start accepting disciples?"
Mo Tiange was a bit hesitant. "This … We might not have much time in the future. Is it okay to accept disciples?"
Qin Xi said, "You're overcomplicating things.
There's a Dao-Seeking Palace in the sect that's responsible for teaching disciples.
Except for handymen, outer disciples, and inner disciples who don't have a master, elite disciples whose masters are in Closed Door Meditation are also under the jurisdiction of the Dao-Seeking Palace.
Your cultivation technique is unique, and Master has never been in Closed Door Meditation, so you haven't experienced that stage. We all went through it like this. "
"Oh …" Mo Tiange thought he was right. High-level cultivators in Closed Door Meditation could easily last for years or even decades. Didn't they care about their disciples?
She asked again, "Who in the Dao-Seeking Palace is in charge of the elite disciples? What realm are they in?"
Qin Xi said, "According to the usual practice, the Dao-Seeking Palace's Technique Imparting Elders are all experienced Core Formation cultivators, so under normal circumstances, even if the elite disciples are Core Formation cultivators, they can still handle it.
Besides, Core Formation cultivators have Nascent Soul Daoists to guide them regularly, so it's not a big problem.
Junior Martial Brother Lingxi is an example. He doesn't have a master, and for many years, he's been guided by his senior martial brothers and sisters in turn. "
Qin Xi paused and smiled again. "You … You advance too fast. You haven't experienced the stages that many disciples have gone through, so you don't know."
"I see …" Mo Tiange suddenly understood. "That's right. Big sects have a perfect system, so they should have ways to deal with all kinds of situations."
"So if you want to pass on your knowledge, you can start to accept disciples. When we have time in Closed Door Meditation, we can give them some pointers.
First, as elite disciples, they must have the ability to be independent. Second, the sect will consider everything and won't hold them back. "
Mo Tiange thought for a long time and finally made a decision. "Alright, in that case, let's also start accepting disciples."
* * *
Once Mo Tiange made her decision, the whole Xuanqing School became busy.
"Lord Daoist Shoujing and Lord Daoist Qingwei are going to accept disciples!"
This news spread to the six peaks in no time. Disciples from each peak who had connections but didn't started to take action. They inquired about the news, asked for favors, and even directly came to the sect.
Fortunately, Xiaoguzi and Xiaozui were really capable, so they didn't need to worry about these things.
"Martial Nephew Zhan!" A white-haired, sage-like old cultivator called out to the youngster in front of him with a cordial smile.
Xiaoguzi turned around. When he saw the cultivator, he immediately came to greet him. "Isn't this Martial Uncle Yan Mo?
A distinguished guest has come to visit. No wonder the magpies kept chirping today.
Martial Uncle, Xiaoguzi sends his greetings to you. "
The old cultivator waved his hand. "Martial Nephew Zhan is too polite. I'm not a distinguished guest."
"Of course you're a distinguished guest, Martial Uncle Yan Mo …"
The two of them flattered each other for a while before Master Daoist Yan Mo slowly got to the point. "I heard Martial Uncle Shoujing and Martial Uncle Qingwei want to accept disciples. Does Martial Nephew Zhan have any unique information?" As he spoke, he took something out of his sleeve and stuffed it into Xiaoguzi's hand.
Xiaoguzi understood tacitly and took it. He said with a smile, "Xiaoguzi only takes care of the two grandmasters' caves, so how could I have any unique information?
However … "He lowered his voice and said mysteriously," Martial Nephew and Grandmaster Qingwei are old friends, so I know a little about her temperament and preferences. "
Master Daoist Yan Mo also came closer and handed him another package. "I'll have to trouble Martial Nephew Zhan."
Xiaoguzi thought for a moment then said, "Grandmaster Qingwei is the most low-key and amiable person, so she doesn't like arrogant disciples.
When it comes to accepting disciples, first, the disciple must have a good temperament and mustn't be too arrogant. Second, the disciple must be independent and mustn't rely too much on the elders. Third, it's best if the disciple understands formations … "He looked at Master Daoist Yan Mo and smiled." As for the others, they must have good aptitude and a good temperament. I don't need to say more, right? "
Master Daoist Yan Mo understood. "Oh …"
"Of course," Xiaoguzi said, "It's best if the disciple is young. After all, the two grandmasters are only 200 or 300 years old, aren't they?"
Master Daoist Yan Mo understood what he meant. He said, "Of course it's not me. I'm already so old, yet I still want to worship the two martial uncles as my masters …"
Xiaoguzi chuckled. "Martial Uncle is thinking for the sake of the younger generation. It's human nature, human nature."
"Then Martial Uncle Shoujing …"
Xiaoguzi said, "Grandmaster Shoujing's temperament is similar to Grandmaster Qingwei's. Besides, if Grandmaster Qingwei is satisfied, why would Grandmaster Shoujing say no?"
Xiaoguzi winked at him. Master Daoist Yan Mo acted as if he suddenly realized something. "I understand, I understand …"
The two of them continued to flatter each other for a while before Master Daoist Yan Mo left, feeling satisfied.
"Hey!"
Xiaoguzi stroked the Qiankun Bag in his hand. He was extremely proud of himself. "A Core Formation Master is indeed generous!"
"Big Brother!"
Xiaozui, who was standing behind him, frowned. "You casually accepted other people's things. What would you do if the two grandmasters found out?"
Xiaoguzi waved his hand carelessly. "Do you think the two grandmasters won't know I'm accepting things?
If I don't accept things, how can I get rid of these flies?
The two grandmasters are well aware of this!
As long as we properly carry out the task the grandmasters gave us and don't delay their business, they won't haggle over it. "
"You found out again?"
"Aiya, don't worry!" Xiaoguzi gave her a Qiankun Bag. "Besides, between the two of us, do we even need to distinguish who's who?
Isn't what's mine yours? "
After taking the Qiankun Bag, Xiaozui muttered with satisfaction, "You're right …"
