Different Entrance Tests

"Please enlighten me Shaman God."

Jiang Yan bowed respectfully.

Chu Feng said unhurriedly, "As the saying goes, 'Heavenly secrets cannot be revealed.' If you can pass my test and join my Dao-Seeking Sect, I will tell you the secrets. If you wish to leave the mountain, I will not force you to stay."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yan's face showed a conflicted expression. He was born weak and had not been interested in cultivation. He had never wanted to become a disciple of any Shaman God. His only wish at this moment was to eliminate disease from the world.

After a long while, Jiang Yan spoke up, "May I ask the Shaman God, could you impart to me the art of healing and saving lives?"

"What's so difficult about that?"

Chu Feng paused for a moment, then asked, "But I want to know, why did you choose to learn this art of healing and saving lives?"

To be honest...

Jiang Yan recounted his experiences from childhood to adulthood to Chu Feng and expressed his grand ambitions.

Chu Feng then gave him a thumbs up. "Good. Since you have such lofty ambitions, once you become my disciple, I will naturally teach you what you want."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yan's face lit up with joy, and he said, "This junior is willing to accept the senior's test."

Chu Feng turned to Ji Jiuwu beside him and said, "Jiuwu, starting tomorrow, you will be in charge of guiding Jiang Yan through our sect's assessment. Just do as you say."

"Your disciple obeys."

After Ji Jiuwu responded, he turned to Jiang Yan beside him and said, "Fellow Daoist Jiang, please come with me."

Chu Feng smiled and said, "Don't rush down yet. There's another little guy on the way up the mountain. You two go outside and wait for it."

Upon hearing this, Ji Jiuwu's face showed curiosity, and he turned to Jiang Yan beside him, asking, "Did you see that person on your way here?"

Jiang Yan shook his head. "After entering the mist, I didn't see any living beings. Perhaps it's because I arrived relatively early."

Chu Feng said, "You don't need to guess anymore; it wasn't just one person who came."

Upon hearing this, Ji Jiuwu and Jiang Yan both froze on the spot, but the look of doubt on their faces quickly disappeared, replaced by curiosity.

Ji Jiuwu, in particular, was very eager to know what kind of demon was the first one to enter the Dao-Seeking Sect.

He then led Jiang Yan out of the main hall.

As time passed and the sun was about to set, Ji Jiuwu and Jiang Yan suddenly heard a series of footsteps.

The two looked up at the stone steps and saw a snow-white deer slowly walking up them.

Upon seeing the two, the white deer immediately said, "This little deer greets the two immortal masters."

"You know about immortals?"

This was the first time Ji Jiuwu had heard the word "immortal" from the mouth of any creature in this world, and he couldn't help but stare wide-eyed at the white deer before him.

"Reporting to the Immortal Master, I learned in a dream that to achieve immortality, one must become an immortal. That day, I saw purple qi descending upon this place, which must have been an immortal descending from the heavens. Therefore, I have come to pay my respects to the Immortal Master."

Bai Lu said respectfully.

Jiang Yan, standing to the side, was completely bewildered. He had never heard of the word "immortal" before, but it sounded very powerful.

Ji Jiuwu said, "I am not some immortal master; my master is. If you wish to become his disciple, then come with us to pay your respects."

Upon hearing this, Bai Lu's face lit up with joy, and she immediately said, "Please, Immortal Master, lead the way."

The two people and the deer returned to the main hall. The white deer stared in disbelief at the extraordinary decorations inside.

A moment later, Ji Jiuwu's voice rang in its ears again. "Master, your disciple has brought the destined deer."

Upon hearing this, the white deer instinctively looked ahead. After just one glance, its legs went weak, and it collapsed to its knees with a thud.

It had traveled throughout the four seas Eight Desolations and seen Shaman God and Demon Emperor, but it had never seen a man with such an ethereal aura as the one before it. In particular, the aura of fortune emanating from the man gave it a feeling that he did not belong to this world.

"Little Deer pays respects to the Immortal Master."

No need for formalities.

Chu Feng's eyes lit up as he looked at the pure white deer before him. The aura of fortune emanating from it was no less than that of Ji Jiuwu and Jiang Yan. Could it be the embodiment of auspiciousness in this world?

"Thank you, Immortal Master."

Bai Lu sensed that the immortal before her meant her no harm, and breathed a sigh of relief.

Chu Feng asked, "Do you wish to become my disciple?"

"Good."

Bai Lu said respectfully.

Chu Feng couldn't help but ask hastily, "The Dao cannot be easily passed on, and I Human Race, while you are Demon Race. Why should I impart immortal techniques to you?"

Upon hearing this, the white deer's heart skipped a beat, but it quickly realized that the immortal master was testing it, not rejecting it.

After its eyes darted around a few times, a sentence flashed through its mind. "The Immortal Master once said that education should be provided to all without discrimination. Although I am Demon Race, I have never done anything immoral. I believe the Immortal Master will accept me as his disciple."

Upon hearing this, Chu Feng's lips curled into a slight smile, "It's not impossible to take you as a disciple. Once you've transformed into human form, you can become my apprentice. Until then, you'll practice the breathing techniques with Jiuwu every day. I'll also give lectures on the first and fifteenth of each month, which you can attend."

Upon hearing this, Bai Lu's face lit up with joy, and she quickly said, "Thank you, Immortal Master."

"Alright, you may all leave."

Chu Feng waved his hand, and then disappeared from the spot.

Ji Jiuwu then arranged for the person and the deer to stay at the Dao-Seeking Sect.

Two new faces joined the Dao-Seeking Sect, and the sect became lively once again.

But Chu Feng's life didn't change much. That day, after Ji Jiuwu finished his cultivation, he asked, "Master, when will you take A-Yan as your disciple?"

Why are you so eager to become the senior apprentice?

Chu Feng asked with a smile.

Ji Jiuwu said, "That's not it. This disciple just feels that Jiang Yan is a good person, and one day he will surely become famous throughout the Eight Desolations, which is why I asked one more question."

"Soon."

After uttering those two words, Chu Feng stopped discussing the matter.

Upon hearing this, Ji Jiuwu immediately went to inform Jiang Yan of the good news.

At this moment, Jiang Yan was tasting a flower he had never seen before, wanting to see what its effects were.

When Ji Jiuwu entered and saw this familiar scene, he didn't interrupt him. Instead, he waited until Jiang Yan swallowed the beautiful flower before speaking, "A-Yan, I have good news for you."

Before he could finish speaking, Jiang Yan's face turned ashen, and he collapsed to the ground with a thud.

Upon seeing this, Ji Jiuwu's expression changed drastically. He immediately ran towards his master's courtyard. In less than ten breaths, he reached the gate and shouted, "Master, something terrible has happened!"
