What happened?
Why did I suddenly get a task to recruit apprentices?
Hearing this long-lost voice, Lu Changsheng did not feel happy.
This guy's going to be a real handful again, isn't he going to have a headache?
besides.
Wasn't this guy eliminated by the Immortal Palace?
Why is the talent also SSS-level?!
If even SSS-level disciples can't pass the outer disciple assessment of the Immortal Palace, that's outrageous!
With so many disciples in this Immortal Palace possessing talents surpassing SSS level, wouldn't they be incredibly powerful?
However, Lu Changsheng could only attribute all of this to [the following].
The elders in the Immortal Palace who recruit disciples have terrible taste.
We didn't find this promising talent.
You can't exactly say the system is malfunctioning, can you?
They saw Lu Changsheng stop.
Xian Rusheng couldn't help but ask, " Senior Lu, if there's anything you need, you can simply tell me, and I'll take care of it for you."
Lu Changsheng coughed, then took a few steps back to Xian Rusheng's side, and said with a smile, "Anyway, I'm quite free right now, and I'm also a little curious about how long this kid can hold out. I'll stay here for a while."
Xian Rusheng: "???"
Xian Huaxuan: "???"
Is that even possible?
Aren't you being a bit too nosy?
"Um... then I'll stay here with you?"
Lu Changsheng rolled his eyes and said, "What do I need an old man like you to keep me company? Are you sick? If you have something to do, go do it. Don't bother me here."
Upon hearing it...
Xian Rusheng quickly nodded and said, "Alright, then, senior, we'll take our leave now."
"Go ahead, go ahead," Lu Changsheng waved his hand.
immediately.
Xian Rusheng and Xian Huaxuan then left.
Thus, only Lu Changsheng and Fang Qiong, still kneeling on the steps, remained at the Heavenly Fang Qiong.
The people in the Immortal Palace don't have the time to watch someone with no talent kneel for so long.
Fang Qiong naturally saw Lu Changsheng casually find a step and sit down.
Ignoring them, I gritted my teeth and persevered.
For him...
Speaking even a single sentence now is a drain on both physical strength and willpower.
one day.
Two days.
Fang Qiong's body had begun to tremble.
The ethereal Immortal Qi emanating from him had almost completely dissipated.
Clearly, we've reached our limit.
It could collapse at any moment.
However, Fang Qiong remained upright, gritting his teeth to keep himself from collapsing.
Seeing this, Lu Changsheng asked, "Will this persistence work? You're that eager to join the Immortal Palace?"
Fang Qiong's tightly clenched lips trembled as he opened them, his voice soft but his tone extremely firm.
"Only by joining the Immortal Palace can I improve my strength as quickly as possible and achieve my goal."
His obsession runs deep.
Lu Changsheng put his hands behind his head, glanced at Fang Qiong, and said, "But what if they don't like you?"
"Then I'll keep kneeling!" Fang Qiong gritted his teeth.
Lu Changsheng said, "You should know that your talent is very poor."
So what?
Is it possible that neither they, nor even you, have discovered your own strengths?
Upon hearing this...
Fang Qiong was slightly taken aback.
She wanted to look up at Lu Changsheng, but she no longer had the strength.
After struggling for a long time, I had no choice but to give up.
Lu Changsheng did not speak again.
Until the fourth day.
Disciples from the Immortal Palace arrived at the Heavenly Ladder.
Still kneeling?
"Hmm, 104 days. That's pretty strong willpower."
"What good is strong willpower if you lack talent and strength? You can't join my Immortal Palace. If anyone could join the Immortal Palace just by kneeling down, how could our Immortal Palace still be called the number one power in the Immortal Realm?"
As disciples of the Immortal Palace, they were all extremely proud.
"But it probably won't last much longer."
"Yes, the physical body has already begun to crack."
Lu Changsheng spoke up again at this moment, "Did you see that? Their attitude towards you."
Although Fang Qiong was no longer able to speak, the sarcastic voices around him still clearly reached his ears.
He couldn't help but smile bitterly to himself.
I also wonder, without talent, is it really impossible to make any progress?
Is the feud within one's own Lineage truly unsolvable?
Even Fang Qiong, with his strong willpower, was not immune.
After persisting for over a hundred days.
In his view, the extremely powerful Immortal Palace continued to mock him, acting arrogantly and condescendingly.
My resolve began to waver.
Lu Changsheng saw this but did not make a move.
Even at this moment, Fang Qiong was facing the most dangerous situation.
His resolve to follow the Dao wavered.
This is a major taboo in Daoist cultivation!
Fang Qiong thought back to his Lineage, his relatives, and his experiences along the way.
And the City Lord's Manor...
Is it truly impossible to get revenge?
Questions kept coming.
Time and again, from the depths of his heart, a devilish " Fang Qiong " kept speaking and shaking him.
"Give up."
"How can he take revenge with talent like that?"
"Didn't you see that the people in the Immortal Palace you admire and hold hope for are also arrogant, disdainful of everyone, and look down on you?"
"To be unable to avenge our great grudge, to be looked down upon, and to have been kneeling here for so long—aren't you ashamed?"
Every word of denial from the depths of his heart was like a black vine that could erode everything, slowly climbing up Fang Qiong's Dao heart.
Until it's completely covered, it begins to corrode little by little...
On the steps, Fang Qiong's once straight spine began to slowly bend...
Seeing this scene...
Lu Changsheng frowned slightly.
Such a person has such a deep-seated obsession.
Similarly, it was this obsession that transformed into a terrifying willpower.
Once such a person overcomes this hurdle, nothing will be able to shake his resolve in the future!
The disciples of the Immortal Palace witnessed this scene.
Most of them wore sarcastic smiles.
Some people even used harsh language.
"That's all there is to it."
" The Immortal Palace has no need for this kind of person."
"Joining a third-rate faction should be manageable."
Even the strongest forces will always have some disciples who think too highly of themselves.
These words kept echoing in Fang Qiong's ears.
Am I really not suited for this path?
At this moment.
A scene appeared in Fang Qiong's mind.
The scene depicted was of his entire Lineage being murdered by the City Lord's Manor, and then his mother secretly sending him away.
At that moment, he sat there, stunned, watching his mother hug him before running back to the Lineage...
This scene.
Like a thorn.
It's rooted in his heart!
That's what I've been thinking about.
Fang Qiong suddenly let out a roar!
The inner demons within me were completely dispelled at this moment!
The slightly bent spine straightened up once again!
The disciples of the Immortal Palace stared blankly at this scene.
Lu Changsheng stood up and smiled.
"Since the Immortal Palace won't accept you, how about you become my disciple?"
Fang Qiong raised his head and looked at Lu Changsheng.
He recalled the respectful manner of the elder, a master of immortal arrays, in front of this person.
Fang Qiong forced himself to stand up from the steps.
Under the stunned gazes of the Immortal Palace disciples.
Under Lu Changsheng's gentle, smiling gaze.
It took a full cup of tea's time for him to stand before Lu Changsheng, then he knelt on the ground and shouted loudly, "Disciple Fang Qiong greets Master!"
