This was difficult. If he couldn't even see him, how could he become his disciple?
And he had to be his personal disciple!
After thinking about it, Xu Yan still couldn't think of a way to get in touch with Immortal Daoyun.
Thinking about it, Xu Yan casually made a hand seal, and the stone door of the seclusion room slowly opened.
Originally, the reason why Xu Yan was in seclusion in this world was because he was preparing to break through to the True Immortal Realm. However, because of Xu Yan's arrival, the breakthrough was left unfinished.
After walking through a cave, Xu Yan came to the outside of the seclusion room.
There were three people standing outside, one male and two females.
Xu Yan scanned their faces and compared them to his memories. He recognized that they were his three disciples.
Standing in the middle was Xu Yan's eldest disciple, Qin Junlin. On his left was his biological sister, Qin Junru, who was also Xu Yan's second disciple.
On his right was Xu Yan's third disciple, Liu Yusheng.
Seeing that Xu Yan had come out of seclusion, Qin Junlin took the lead and shouted, "Welcome back, Master!"
"Mm," Xu Yan nodded and said, "Did anything happen while I was in seclusion?"
Qin Junlin hesitated for a moment before replying, "Replying to Master's question, during the time that Master was in seclusion, the sect was very peaceful. Nothing happened."
When Qin Junru heard her brother's words, she looked at Qin Junlin from the corner of her eyes. There was a hint of doubt in her eyes, but she quickly returned to normal as if nothing had happened.
Although her actions were very subtle, Xu Yan still noticed.
"Is there really nothing?"
Xu Yan stared at Qin Junlin and said calmly, "Don't hide anything. Just tell me if you have something to say."
"Master, nothing happened these few days. Please don't worry." Qin Junlin met Xu Yan's gaze and said seriously.
Xu Yan and Qin Junlin looked at each other for a few seconds. After confirming that Qin Junlin didn't want to say anything, Xu Yan didn't ask anymore.
"Since nothing happened, I'll go back to my room first."
Xu Yan turned and walked towards the house not far away. Before he left, he said to the three of them with his back facing them, "If you encounter anything that you can't solve, feel free to come to me. After all, you are my disciples. I won't let you suffer!"
"Many thanks, Master!" The three of them expressed their gratitude.
Seeing this, Xu Yan didn't say anything more. He walked straight to his room and closed the door.
Seeing Xu Yan's figure disappear, the three of them also walked towards their own residences.
Along the way, Qin Junru asked Qin Junlin, "Brother, why did you tell Master about the Spiritual Pool Selection?"
"That's right. Eldest Senior Brother, why didn't you say anything?"
Liu Yusheng was also puzzled. "With Master here, Zhou Yuanlin wouldn't dare to be so arrogant!"
Hearing their questions, Qin Junlin shook his head and said helplessly, "Things are not as simple as you think!"
"That Zhou Yuanlin's strength is the same as mine. We're both in the late stage of the Spirit Body realm. If we really fight, I'm not afraid of him!"
"But he has an uncle who is an Inner Sect Elder. That's the key!"
"Inner Sect Elder?!" Qin Junru and Liu Yusheng were shocked. They immediately understood what Qin Junlin meant.
To be an Inner Sect Elder, one had to be at least a True Immortal!
And Master's strength was only at the Heaven Immortal level. Regardless of strength or status, he was inferior.
If they told Master about this, it would only put him in a difficult position. Moreover, it might not be useful.
Rather than that, they might as well not tell him.
"Originally, I was still feeling a bit of hope that my master would be able to break through from his secluded cultivation this time around. If my master were to break through from the Heavenly Immortal Stage to the True Immortal Stage, his words would have a lot more weight. He would be able to go against Zhou Yuanlin's uncle.
"But Master didn't break through. His aura is still at the late stage of the Heaven Immortal level."
At that moment, the three of them fell silent.
Regarding the current situation, the three of them were powerless. There was nothing they could do.
"But if we miss the Spiritual Pool Selection this time, the next one will be ten years later!" Qin Junru said unwillingly.
The Spiritual Pool Selection of the Cangyun Immortal Sect was targeted at outer sect disciples who had reached the Spiritual Body Realm. Through the competition, the thirty most talented outer sect disciples would be selected and sent into the Spiritual Pool.
The Spiritual Pool contained some mild Immortal Power. It could help the disciples who had reached the Spiritual Body Realm to adapt to the changes in their bodies. This would increase their success rate of climbing the Stairway to Heaven.
As the outer sect disciples were generally not very talented, it was impossible for them to climb the Stairway to Heaven on their own. Therefore, the Spiritual Pool Selection was extremely competitive!
After all, entering the Spiritual Pool was equivalent to becoming a True Immortal!
"Yes, if we miss this time, we will have to wait another ten years!"
Qin Junlin said unwillingly. "No matter what, I have to try. Maybe thirty people can enter!"
Although he said so, he knew that it was basically impossible.
Out of the thirty spots, twenty of them had already been decided. Those twenty were all at the Complete Spiritual Body Realm and were much stronger than the others. There was no need to even think about it.
Among the remaining ten spots, although they were all at the late stage of the Spiritual Body Realm, Qin Junlin's strength ranked tenth.
This was also the reason why Zhou Yuanlin only targeted him!
…
When Xu Yan returned to the house, he didn't pay attention to the conversation outside with his spiritual power.
After all, Xu Yan was no longer the original Xu Yan. He did not feel close to the disciples of this world's Xu Yan.
If they were willing to tell him, then he would help them a few times on account of the fact that he had taken over this world's Xu Yan's body.
But if they were not willing to tell him, then Xu Yan would not bother to investigate further. He would just let nature take its course.
After entering the house, Xu Yan went straight to the study.
No matter the time, it was always good to have more information.
There was a bookshelf in Xu Yan's study. On it were all kinds of basic knowledge, prose, and anecdotes. These were all things that Xu Yan wanted to know.
Arriving in front of the bookshelf, there were only a few books on paper. The rest were mostly jade scrolls.
Jade scrolls were small in size and had a large capacity. A jade scroll could hold ten times the number of words than a book. Therefore, other than a few books with special meaning, the other records were all copied into jade scrolls by this world's Xu Yan.
Xu Yan picked up the jade scroll on the bookshelf. A familiar power surged into his body. It was the modification points!
Looking at the interface, this jade slip had a modification value of 50 points, which was not bad.
In the previous world, he had not absorbed any modification points for more than a year. Now, he finally had some modification points!
Closing the panel, Xu Yan immersed his consciousness into the jade scroll. A large amount of words opened in Xu Yan's mind, allowing him to read them easily.
Time gradually passed. As the sun set, Xu Yan had already read all the books on the bookshelf. He had a deeper understanding of this world and the Cangyun Immortal Sect.
