Seeing Lin Xuankong remain silent, Sect Master Li of the Crane Immortal Sect grew increasingly anxious.
Although Lin Xuankong had just agreed to let him become the first elder of the Crane Immortal Sect.
Unfortunately, the conditions offered by the vice sect leaders of those other immortal sects were simply too good.
Even the sect leaders of the Crane Immortal Sect were somewhat helpless in this situation!
What he fears most right now is that Lin Xuankong might suddenly renege on his promise and agree to the conditions set by the other vice sect leaders!
Unfortunately, this Sect Master Li had no other choice. After all, the Crane Immortal Sect's 'hard conditions' were what they were, and he couldn't conjure up anything else!
For a moment, he couldn't help but anxiously wink at Crane Fairy Qu Qiao'er, hoping that this always intelligent Crane Immortal Fairy could come up with some solutions!
Even at this point, the Sect Master Li of the Crane Immortal Sect was somewhat considering offering the Crane Fairy Qu Qiao'er to Lin Xuankong as a condition.
The reason I didn't mention this condition to Crane Fairy Qu Qiao'er Crane Fairy Qu Qiao'er telepathy wasn't because I was afraid she wouldn't agree! After all, ' Mu Shiba ' was a master weapon refiner. Although Crane Fairy Qu Qiao'er was only Third Grade Earth Immortal, it was foreseeable that in the future, whether within the Crane Immortal Sect or when facing other immortal sects, her status would never be comparable to ' Mu Shiba '. Making Crane Immortal Fairy Crane Fairy Qu Qiao'er Crane Fairy Qu Qiao'er submit to Mu Shiba would absolutely not be an insult to her!
The problem is, in front of so many other immortal sects and terrestrial immortals, the headmaster of the Crane Immortal Sect, Sect Master Li, simply couldn't bring himself to say it, nor could he get Crane Fairy Qu Qiao'er Sect to do so!
Are you kidding me! Qu Qiao'er, Third Grade Earth Immortal and one of the genius Earth Immortals of the Crane Immortal Sect, said in front of everyone that she wanted to be Mu Shiba's immortal servant just to keep Mu Shiba in the Crane Immortal Sect. That would be too embarrassing and would probably make many immortal sects laugh at her to death!
Seeing the sect leader frequently giving her meaningful glances, Crane Fairy Qu Qiao'er naturally understood what the sect leader meant.
But what could she do? Even the sect leader was at a loss—if the emperor couldn't do anything, what could the eunuchs possibly do?
However, in her haste, the Crane Immortal Fairy suddenly thought of her older sister Qu Wan'er and her apprentice Li Xiaolan.
Her eyes flickered, and she smiled at Lin Xuankong:
" Mr. Mu, although our Crane Immortal Sect cannot offer you the same conditions as the other immortal sects..."
However, you and Li Xiaolan, the True Disciple of my sect's immortal Qu Wan'er, are from the same hometown, both from the Great Xia Dynasty. I suppose you would also like to be in the same sect as a fellow townsman!
At this moment, Crane Fairy Qu Qiao'er was desperate and had no choice but to play the emotional card!
Little did Crane Fairy Qu Qiao'er know that Lady Li Xiaolan was not merely Lin Xuankong's fellow villager. In this universe, if one were to find the person Lin Xuankong cared about most, it would undoubtedly be Lady Li Xiaolan!
As soon as Crane Fairy Qu Qiao'er uttered these words,
The other Earth Immortals from various immortal sects couldn't help but laugh.
The Third Grade Earth Immortal of the Northern Desolate Immortal Sect laughed and said, "Fairy Linghe Qu, the Crane Immortal Sect has no other conditions that can compare with our Northern Desolate Immortal Sect!"
Fairy Qu has actually resorted to using the "fellow villager" card! Hahaha! But we cultivators aim for immortality and the Dao, so how could we care too much about worldly relationships? What's with all this talk about fellow villagers? In Mr. Mu's heart, is that fellow villager of your Crane Immortal Sect Li Xiaolan, more important than immortality and the Dao, or any other superior conditions?
Guo Haishan, Third Grade Earth Immortal of the Western Nether Immortal Sect, couldn't help but laugh.
"Fairy Linghe Qu, if you feel you can't offer any good terms to keep Mr. Mu here, then you might as well just shut up!"
What nonsense about fellow villagers meeting again! Hahaha, do you think we're all just ordinary folks?
"I think your Crane Immortal Sect is really not worth keeping Mr. Mu here as an honorific. Coming to our Western Nether Immortal Sect would be the best choice for Mr. Mu!"
The other Third Grade Earth Immortal from the Western Dwelling Immortal Sect also burst into laughter, clearly convinced that Lin Xuankong would never stay in the Crane Immortal Sect just because of some fellow villager!
In the eyes of these three Third Grade Earth Immortal,
Although the conditions offered by the three families were different, they were all far better than those offered by the Crane Immortal Sect. Lin Xuankong would never refuse them and instead stay with the Crane Immortal Sect!
Lin Xuankong, however, paused upon hearing Crane Fairy Qu Qiao'er's words, his expression gradually hardening as his gaze hardened.
Back then, Li Xiaolan traveled a great distance to the Crane Immortal Sect in order to join the Crane Immortal Sect and learn the method of refining the Ascension Treasure Pill, so as to create conditions for her Husband to transcend tribulation and become an immortal in the future! For this goal, Li Xiaolan not only gave up her home in Dazexiang where she had lived for many years, but also endured the pain of separation for many years!
The main reason he wanted to come to the Crane Immortal Sect to learn immortal arts was because his mistress, Li Xiaolan, was there. He also hoped to become immortals with Li Xiaolan and others in the Crane Immortal Sect future and stay with them for a long time!
Why have I wavered now? Why do I want to join another immortal sect? Have I forgotten the original aspirations I've always held onto?
Thinking of this,
Lin Xuankong no longer hesitated in his heart.
He glanced at the several Third Grade Earth Immortal from the Northern Desolate Immortal Sect, the Western Nether Immortal Sect, and the Western Dwelling Immortal Sect, then slightly cupped his hands and said:
"The senior Earth Immortals value Mu Shiba so highly and offer such generous terms; Mu Shiba is truly grateful!"
However, since Mu Shiba has already promised Sect Master Li the Crane Immortal Sect Crane Immortal Sect, he will naturally not go back on his word and switch to another immortal sect. He hopes that the senior Earth Immortals will not take offense!
Upon hearing this, Sect Master Li of the Crane Immortal Sect Sect's eyes lit up, filled with joy.
He couldn't help but stroke his three long strands of beard, then gave the group of Third Grade Earth Immortal a rather smug smile.
Then, the Sect Master Li of the Crane Immortal Sect Master Li nodded slightly to Crane Fairy Qu Qiao'er, clearly believing that Crane Fairy Qu Qiao'er's words had moved Lin Xuankong!
The other three third-rank Third Grade Earth Immortal from the immortal sects all showed expressions of surprise upon hearing Lin Xuankong's words.
The Third Grade Earth Immortal of the Northern Desolate Immortal Sect spoke with some surprise:
" Mr. Mu, are you really sure? Won't you reconsider?"
Our Northern Desolate Immortal Sect possesses a top-grade Immortal Essence Peak, which can be specially crafted for you to rapidly absorb immortal Cave Dwelling! Such a top-grade Immortal Essence Peak is absolutely impossible to find or obtain in the Crane Immortal Sect!
Lin Xuankong nodded slightly.
A resolute look appeared in his eyes.
How could he possibly separate from his beloved Li Xiaolan just for a Immortal Yuan Cave Mansion!
Let alone one Immortal Yuan Cave Mansion, even if there were ten, a hundred, a thousand, or ten thousand Immortal Yuan Cave Mansion built from top-grade Immortal Essence Spirit Peaks, I still couldn't compare them to my little wife Li Xiaolan!
Moreover, he possesses the almost infinitely vast Bashan Secret Realm formed from the Heavenly Demon Bone, and the Pure Grass and Wood Pure Bottle gifted by Jialin Bodhisattva of the Lingtai Buddhist Sect. The number of spiritual herbs and medicines he can cultivate in the future is virtually limitless, which can completely supply him with inexhaustible True Qi True Qi. After he consumes the Ascension Treasure Pill and overcomes the Heavenly Tribulation to become an Earth Immortal, that true energy will naturally be converted into a large amount of immortal essence through the Earth Immortal Golden Core! Most importantly, he has the Old and Vigorous Destiny even in old age, so he doesn't need to worry about the amount of immortal essence at all!
The Third Grade Earth Immortal from the Western Dwelling Immortal Sect also showed a look of resentment.
He looked at Lin Xuankong and frowned, saying:
"Five low-level Demon King- level beasts can be of great help to Mr. Mu. Mr. Mu, and can also increase his strength several times over. Don't you really want to consider it!"
Lin Xuankong shook his head firmly.
Such conditions, if offered to any other cultivator at the Layer Nine Perfection, or even to a Early Earth Immortal, would be enough to tempt them and make them unable to refuse!
However, it couldn't completely move me!
He possessed the Great Samsara Technique brought about by the ninth-tier Heavenly Demon Bone.
If I have the opportunity to become an Earth Immortal in the future and defeat several Earth Immortals, I can directly reincarnate Li Xiaohu, Hu Shuo, Han Lu, Yang Shan and others. In that case, I can have many of the Lin Family Seven Tigers at the Earth Immortal Realm level!
Moreover, they are all Earth Immortals with a thirty-fold bonus, making them far, far stronger than those so-called five low-level Demon King- level beasts!
No matter how precious these five low-level Demon King- level beasts are, how can they compare to the Lin Family Seven Tigers whom I have nurtured for many years and with whom I share a deep bond!
The Third Grade Earth Immortal from the Western Nether Immortal Sect, who had been brimming with confidence and believed he could definitely impress Lin Xuankong, suddenly felt a pang of panic upon seeing Lin Xuankong's decisive and resolute rejection of the other two Third Grade Earth Immortal.
He frowned and looked at Lin Xuankong, "My Western Nether Immortal Sect can not only provide Mr. Mu Mr. Mu several times the amount of offerings, but also supply him with a top-grade Immortal Yuan Cave Mansion, and even send him several extremely obedient and charming fairies. Mr. Mu should not refuse these conditions!"
After listening to him finish speaking, Lin Xuankong couldn't help but smile and shake his head slightly.
A beautiful fairy? Ying'er and Xiao Lan by my side, aren't they both stunningly beautiful? Yu Fei is the great steward of the secret realm, working hard to manage countless spiritual herbs and Spiritual Treasure and countless people in the entire Bashan Secret Realm!
I wasn't with them simply because they were beautiful and charming!
This Third Grade Earth Immortal from the Western Nether Immortal Sect is really underestimating himself!
Upon seeing this, the Third Grade Earth Immortal of the Western Nether Immortal Sect couldn't help but show a look of disappointment.
The other two third-rank Third Grade Earth Immortal from the immortal sects were also somewhat melancholy, disappointed, and unwilling.
Lin Xuankong looked at the three Rank Third Grade Earth Immortal who valued him highly and smiled again. "I appreciate the kindness of Mu Shiba Mu Shiba Earth Immortals! However, although I am unwilling to become an enshrined disciple in your sects, I can still help you refine Early Stage Immortal Artifact in the future!"
Since the three of you value Mu Shiba's weapon-refining skills, as long as you three Earth Immortal seniors can prepare enough materials in the future, I will help you refine Early Stage Immortal Artifact!"
"Oh, is what Mr. Mu said true!" The Third Grade Earth Immortal of the Western Nether Immortal Sect, who had been looking disappointed, immediately looked up at Lin Xuankong upon hearing this, and his face lit up with joy.
The other two third-rank Third Grade Earth Immortal from the Immortal Sects also showed expressions of joy.
Lin Xuankong nodded slightly, "Of course I keep my word!"
Guo Haishan, Third Grade Earth Immortal of the Western Nether Immortal Sect, couldn't help but ask, "If our three Immortal Sects were to commission Mr. Mu to forge Early Stage Immortal Artifact in the future, the reward would definitely be doubled! That reward would be far more than what we gave to that Myriad Immortals Master from the Eastern Region of the Central Divine Dynasty!"
The other two Third Grade Earth Immortal also nodded decisively.
For a sect's deputy sect leader like them, who oversee numerous disciples and have a large number of dynasties at their disposal, obtaining materials for a large quantity of Early Stage Immortal Artifact is an incredibly easy task! Their only headache is that the queue for a master craftsman to forge a low-grade magic weapon is far too long, and the waiting time is far too long!
Now that Lin Xuankong had agreed, they were naturally overjoyed!
at this time,
In the Martial Arts Field of the Crane Immortal Sect,
A large number of disciples and Earth Immortals skilled in setting up formations had already entered the venue and begun to rearrange the area!
Sect Master Li of the Crane Immortal Sect then spoke:
" Wood Guest Official, although these disciples are all skilled at setting up formations, it will probably take several cups of tea's time to complete them. Why don't Wood Guest Official join us at a higher place to rest for a while, and then watch the upcoming disciple-acceptance competition!"
After seeing Lin Xuankong agree to become the first elder of the Crane Immortal Sect,
The Sect Master Li of the Crane Immortal Sect immediately changed his form of address, and as he spoke, he revealed a gentle and friendly expression.
His eyes were fixed intently on Lin Xuankong, and the more he looked, the more delighted and fond he became.
Lin Xuankong nodded, then turned to look at the Third Princess Xiao Ying'er, Li Xiaohu, and the others. He took out the seven Early Stage Immortal Artifact he had just used and distributed them to Li Xiaohu and the others, then spoke with a look of anticipation on his face:
"Next, you will continue to participate in the Disciple Recruitment Competition Ceremony!"
"Use these Early Stage Immortal Artifact for now, and try your best to win in the next few rounds of competition. That way, you can all join the Crane Immortal Sect and become fellow disciples!"
Third Princess Xiao Ying'er's pretty face showed a determined look, "Yes, don't worry, Little Tiger and I will definitely win the next few rounds of the competition, and we won't let Master Mu down!"
Upon hearing this, Lin Xuankong couldn't help but laugh.
Li Xiaohu, Hu Shuo, Han Lu, and the others accepted the Early-stage Immortal Sword and nodded vigorously to Lin Xuankong.
Each of them already possessed four Early Stage Immortal Artifact, and with Lin Xuankong's one for each of them, they now had five Early Stage Immortal Artifact!
This means that the Lin Family Seven Tigers were able to fight against five powerful immortals at the Early Earth Immortal Realm realm in a short period of time, and they were also able to fight against five pet beasts at the initial stage of the Demon King realm!
Li Xiaohu nodded happily and said, "Don't worry, Adoptive Father, the Lin Family Seven Tigers will definitely do their best and will never let Adoptive Father down!"
Lin Xuankong nodded slightly, patted Li Xiaohu on the shoulder, and nodded vigorously to the others before flying together with the other Earth Immortals towards the cloud platform high in the sky!
A moment later,
The immortals, including Sect Master Li the Crane Immortal Sect and Crane Fairy Qu Qiao'er Sect, sat with Lin Xuankong near the cloud platform high in the sky.
Looking at Li Xiaohu and the others who had returned to their places, Sect Master Li of the Crane Immortal Sect stroked his three long strands of beard and smiled:
"With the Wood Guest Official, each of them will be given a Early Stage Immortal Artifact. Dealing with their next opponents will be a piece of cake, and passing this Disciple Recruitment Competition Ceremony will be no problem at all!"
Furthermore, they are all close associates of the Wood Guest Official, and the Crane Immortal Sect will definitely accept them into the Crane Immortal Sect. As the sect leader of the Crane Immortal Sect, I can absolutely guarantee this!
However, this Crane Immortal Sect's Disciple Recruitment Competition Ceremony has some special features; it's not just about recruiting disciples. Therefore, it would be best if Mr. Mu's close associates participated in the upcoming competition!
Lin Xuankong certainly understood what the special feature that Sect Master Li the Crane Immortal Sect was referring to was!
So he nodded, then frowned and looked at where Li Xiaohu and the others were.
He thought to himself: Normally, with the help of their powerful Early Stage Immortal Artifact, Li Xiaohu and his group would have no problem winning against some opponents. However, many of the geniuses and immortal sect disciples in these Disciple Recruitment Competition Ceremony are here for the Sixth Heavenly Meridian Spirit Material, so they must have made extremely strong preparations!
Who knows, in the upcoming competition, there might be an opponent stronger and more troublesome than the Second Prince Chang Li!
Although he possessed nearly a hundred Early Stage Immortal Artifact, he couldn't possibly give them to the Lin Family Seven Tigers in front of so many people. All he could do now was hope that the seven of them would win and, like him, obtain the Sixth Heavenly Meridian Spirit Material of the Crane Immortal Sect!
I hope they all win!
Just then, the voice of Crane Fairy Qu Qiao'er, came from beside him.
" Mr. Mu, these spiritual fruits are all precious medicines that can strengthen the body, and they taste extremely good!"
Lin Xuankong turned his head and saw the Crane Immortal Fairy, dressed in a yellow robe, carrying a plate of spiritual fruit and walking towards him.
The dignified Crane Immortal Sect's Crane Immortal Fairy, Third Grade Earth Immortal, actually personally brought spiritual fruits to Lin Xuankong, and did so in an extremely polite manner!
This scene fell in the eyes of many immortals around, and they couldn't help but feel a little emotional.
Third Grade Earth Immortal and Crane Immortal Fairy serving a cultivator at the Layer Nine Perfection —if you didn't see it with your own eyes, probably no one would believe it!
However, after considering that Lin Xuankong was a true master of weapon crafting, many Earth Immortals felt that this matter was quite normal.
Lin Xuankong accepted the spiritual fruit with a smile and thanked him politely.
Until this very moment,
Lin Xuankong was somewhat unaccustomed to it.
He never imagined that he could gain so much attention and respect from so many Earth Immortals simply because he could refine Early Stage Immortal Artifact!
At this moment, the Third Grade Earth Immortal from the Northern Desolate Immortal Sect personally carried a wine pot filled with fragrant spiritual wine, poured it into Lin Xuankong's cup, and then said with a smile:
"Master Mu, once I return to the Northern Desolate Immortal Sect, I will immediately mobilize the sect's disciples to gather materials. Once we have collected enough, I hope that Master Mu will have the time to help our Northern Desolate Immortal Sect forge a Early Stage Immortal Artifact! As for the time, there's no need to rush; just forge it for our Northern Desolate Immortal Sect within ten years!"
Seeing this, the other Third Grade Earth Immortal also gathered around, each holding a wine cup, their faces beaming with enthusiasm.
"Master Mu, I, Guo Haishan, would like to offer you a toast!"
After I return to the Immortal Sect, I will immediately mobilize my disciples to gather the materials!
As for asking Master Mu to forge Early Stage Immortal Artifact, I'm not in a hurry. As long as Mr. Mu can forge one Early Stage Immortal Artifact for our immortal sect within thirty years, that will be fine!
A mere Early Stage Immortal Artifact. A dignified third-rank Third Grade Earth Immortal was so polite as to personally pour wine for himself just for a Early Stage Immortal Artifact!
Moreover, they even said it would take ten or thirty years to forge a Early Stage Immortal Artifact!
If I wanted to, I could easily spend a few days crafting a whole bunch of Early Stage Immortal Artifact with Miss Xiao!
He had crafted over a hundred Early Stage Immortal Artifact in just over ten days, including the time spent collecting materials!
Tsk tsk, it seems that those so-called weapon-refining masters of the Central Divine Dynasty, although they can refine Early Stage Immortal Artifact, are far inferior to Miss Xiao and themselves in terms of weapon-refining skills!
After thinking about all this,
Lin Xuankong felt a surge of emotion, and he thought to himself:
If I hadn't met Xiao Xiuyi, that unparalleled Artifact Refining Prodigy, I would never have achieved my current status and treatment!
As the saying goes, "One trick is all you need to succeed in the world!"
This statement not only applies to Blue Star, but it's absolutely true even in this cultivation world! If I had known this earlier, I wouldn't have bothered to participate in the Crane Immortal Sect's Disciple Recruitment Competition Ceremony!
After exchanging toasts with these earth immortals for a while, several cups of tea had passed.
The array setup for the Crane Immortal Sect's Martial Arts Field is finally nearing completion!
At this moment, the Martial Arts Field arts arena of the Crane Immortal Sect has been completely replaced with a powerful array capable of withstanding the full power of an attack from Early Earth Immortal!
Lin Xuankong's eyes flickered slightly as he gazed at the Crane Immortal Sect disciples setting up the magic array.
He was quite accomplished in setting up magic arrays. Back in the Bashan Secret Realm, he had once used the Prison Demon Array to create Demon Capturing Cage. Now, seeing the disciples of the Crane Immortal Sect setting up magic arrays so quickly and skillfully, a look of surprise appeared in his eyes!
After casually taking a few sips of the spirit wine, Lin Xuankong thought to himself:
Although there are no great weapon-refining masters in the Western Region of the Central Divine Dynasty, according to many Earth Immortals, there are no particularly great weapon-refining masters in the entire Central Divine Dynasty!
However, the Crane Immortal Sect has many extremely powerful array masters. The ability to quickly set up dozens of arrays capable of withstanding the attacks of Early Earth Immortal is something I definitely couldn't do myself!
Therefore, I cannot underestimate the many immortal sects of the Central Divine Dynasty Central Divine Dynasty does not have any powerful weapon-refining masters!
At the very least,
The Crane Immortal Sect disciples setting up these formations are far more skilled than I am at it!
Furthermore, including the pills that Lady Li Xiaolan learned at the Crane Immortal Sect, I've recently received many profound insights into Li Xiaolan refining from her! From this perspective, the pill-refining master Qu Wan'er of the Crane Immortal Sect is absolutely highly skilled. At least in the short term, even if Lady Li Xiaolan is a pill-refining prodigy, she cannot surpass the Medicine Immortal Qu Wan'er in terms of pill-refining ability!
