Duobao Wants to Take Yuanshi as His Master

Xuandu watched this senior disciple brother speak with such ferocity, and while surprised, he could only let out a bitter laugh.

The Three Pure Ones, who had been observing in secret, also felt helpless when they saw Xian Junyu cursing so explosively.

Taiqing Laozi went so far as to wave his hand and isolate the voices of those at the foot of the mountain.

After the noise disappeared, Xian Junyu lay back down again. He and Xuandu silently waited for people destined to become disciples to arrive.

Three whole days passed without a single destined person appearing. Finally, on the third day, that person arrived.

"This is the Daoist Sanctuary of a Saint? As expected, it's extraordinary!"

Duobao arrived at the foot of Mount Kunlun. Looking at the immortal mountain before him, wreathed in clouds and mist and abundant with spiritual energy, he could not help sighing in admiration.

He glanced at the monsters meditating at the foot of the mountain, then entered Mount Kunlun directly. After passing through the grand formation, he became the first person to enter.

The many monsters watched Duobao enter so easily and felt extremely envious. But envy would not help them; he possessed Earth Immortal cultivation.

He was simply not someone they could compare with.

"Senior brother, senior brother... Someone entered Mount Kunlun!"

Seeing someone pass the grand formation's trial and enter, Xuandu hurriedly called out to his senior disciple brother, who was sleeping soundly.

"Hmm? Someone came...?"

Hearing Xuandu's voice, Xian Junyu wiped the drool from the corner of his mouth and opened his bleary eyes.

"Senior brother, look over there!"

Following the direction Xuandu pointed, Xian Junyu also saw the first person to cross the grand formation and enter during these past few days.

The man had a pair of large earlobes and wore luxurious immortal robes. His body was adorned with glittering golden accessories, and he was slightly plump, giving him the appearance of a nouveau riche.

He had arrived so early and looked like such a nouveau riche. After thinking briefly, Xian Junyu knew who he was.

At this time, the only one who could have arrived was probably the Treasure Seeking Rat—the original First Disciple of the Interception Sect, Daoist Duobao.

"Poor Daoist Duobao greets the two fellow Daoists!"

Duobao came before the two of them and immediately bowed in greeting.

Hearing this, Xuandu and Xian Junyu merely nodded without returning the salute. They were Saint Disciples and had no need to return anyone's courtesy, much less that of an unaffiliated Earth Immortal.

Seeing this, Duobao did not think much of it. After all, they were Saint Disciples, so it was normal for them to have some bearing. Besides, he would soon become a Saint Disciple himself.

He would possess that bearing sooner or later.

"Being able to enter Mount Kunlun means that you have a destined connection with a Saint. There are Three Saints on Mount Kunlun. Which Saint do you wish to become a disciple of?"

Xian Junyu asked indifferently.

As the first disciple beneath the Three Saints and the one with the senior-most standing among the disciples, Xuan­du could not take this matter from him. Only he could ask. That was the rule.

Hearing this, Duobao had already made up his mind. On his journey to Mount Kunlun over the past few days, he had more or less considered this question.

As the saying went, one entered the greater rather than the lesser. Since he wanted to become a Saint's disciple, he naturally had to choose the Saint with the highest status, Saint Taiqing. If that did not work, he would settle for the next best option.

"Fellow Daoist, I wish to become a disciple of Saint Taiqing's Renjiao..."

Upon hearing this, Xuandu interrupted him before he could finish.

"Fellow Daoist, you should choose one of the other two Saints. My Master has no intention of accepting disciples!"

Hearing the words "my Master," Duobao looked at Xuandu in surprise. He had not expected this person to be a Saint's disciple; he had thought Xuandu was merely a Daoist Child or servant.

Since this person was a disciple of Saint Taiqing, the one beside him with an even grander bearing was probably a Saint Disciple as well.

Duobao immediately developed a few more points of respect in his heart.

However, since Saint Taiqing did not accept disciples, he turned his attention to the second-ranked Three Pure One, Saint Yuqing.

"Since Saint Taiqing has no intention of accepting disciples, I am willing to become a disciple of Saint Yuqing. I hope you will grant my request!" As he spoke, Duobao bowed again.

Xian Junyu, however, was somewhat surprised upon hearing this.

Laozi, Saint Taiqing, was the Dao Ancestor's First Disciple and the First Senior Uncle of the other Saints. It was perfectly normal for someone to wish to become his disciple.

However, after learning that First Senior Uncle did not accept disciples, Duobao's second choice was not his Master but Second Martial Uncle. This surprised him greatly.

"Saint Yuqing..."

"Very well. Follow me."

After giving Duobao a strange look, Xian Junyu said no more and led him toward Second Martial Uncle's Daoist Sanctuary.

Duobao followed Xian Junyu away, while Xuandu remained where he was, continuing to wait for the next destined person to arrive.

On the way to the Daoist Sanctuary.

Looking at Xian Junyu's back, Duobao hesitated for a moment before asking, "Senior brother, that senior brother just now was a disciple of Saint Taiqing. Then are you also...?"

Hearing this, Xian Junyu replied indifferently:

"That person just now was Xuandu. My name is Xian Junyu. Although I am also a Saint Disciple, I am neither a disciple of Saint Taiqing nor a disciple of Saint Yuqing!"

He was a Saint's disciple, but not a disciple of either Saint Taiqing or Saint Yuqing. Then he could only be a disciple of Saint Shangqing.

Although Saint Shangqing ranked last among the Three Pure Ones, he was still a Saint Disciple.

"So you are a favored disciple of Saint Shangqing. Duobao was discourteous!"

"There is no need for that. The Three Pure Ones are originally one family. If you enter the sect, you and I will be martial brothers. Just call me senior brother; there is no need to be so courteous!"

Xian Junyu did not hold much prejudice against Duobao.

His turning toward the Western Lands had truly been an act of helplessness. On this vast and fertile land of the East, he was the First Disciple of the Interception Sect, with countless immortal disciples and immortal grand-disciples beneath him.

If he had had any other choice, he would not have wanted to join the Western Lands either.

Moreover, Xian Junyu was certain that Second Martial Uncle would never accept Duobao. In the end, this fellow could only become his junior brother.

He understood the temperament of Second Martial Uncle Saint Yuqing too well.

Soon, the two arrived at Yuanshi's Daoist Sanctuary.

"Disciple Xian Junyu has brought Daoist Duobao to request an audience with Second Martial Uncle!"

After arriving at Second Martial Uncle's Daoist Sanctuary, Xian Junyu respectfully called out.

There was nothing wrong with referring to himself as a disciple. After all, the Three Pure Ones had not yet split apart.

Looking at the enormous Daoist Sanctuary, where Saintly Aura flowed everywhere, Duobao sighed inwardly. As expected, a Saint's Daoist Sanctuary was truly extraordinary.

Unlike Laozi, Saint Taiqing, and Tongtian, Saint Yuqing Yuanshi cared greatly about his dignity. His Daoist Sanctuary was also the largest and most imposing among the Three Pure Ones.

At that moment, Yuanshi's voice came from inside.

"Yu'er, you've come. Come in!"

As his voice fell, the door before the square opened with a creak, and two Daoist Children walked out, standing on either side of the entrance.

Seeing this, Xian Junyu walked straight over, while Duobao followed behind him.

"Senior brother, please come in!"

"Thank you for your trouble, junior brothers!"

Xian Junyu did not look down on these two Daoist Children. After all, they were close attendants of a Saint. As the saying went, one should show respect to the Buddha through the monk's face; he still had to show them this much courtesy.

Besides, with his Earth Immortal cultivation, he simply had no ability to look down on Golden Immortal Daoist Children.

That was right. Both Daoist Children were at the Golden Immortal realm, several major realms higher than Xian Junyu.

"Senior brother, you are too courteous!"

After replying, the two Daoist Children gestured for them to enter.
