Lang Nana stepped forward and said softly, "Little brother, this is not your problem. The three of us all have our own sects and paths of cultivation, and accepting disciples is a big deal, which requires the consent of the sect and many considerations. We can't accept disciples casually, so as not to delay your future."

The girl in the light blue cloth skirt also stood up and said, "Three heroes, we know the rules of accepting apprentices. But we really have no other choice. There are often some dangerous things happening in this town. We just want to be able to protect ourselves and our families. We believe that as long as we learn from you, we will definitely become powerful."

Nan Fengxue looked at this group of eager people and felt a little sorry. He said, "We understand your feelings, but the path of cultivation is not always smooth, and the hardships are far beyond your imagination. And we can't stay here to teach you for a long time."

However, the group did not give up because of Jiang Qiong's rejection. The seven or eight-year-old boy ran over, grabbed Jiang Qiong's clothes, and said in a baby voice: "Big brother, please, I really want to learn magic. I want to be as powerful as you so that I can protect my parents in the future."

The little boy's eyes were filled with tears, which made people feel distressed. Facing the desperate pleas of the crowd, Jiang Qiong and the other two were very conflicted.

They knew that this group of people were truly eager to learn magic, but their circumstances did not allow them to accept disciples at will.

Jiang Qiong thought for a moment and said, "How about this, although we can't accept you as our disciples, we can teach you some simple ways to strengthen your body and skills to deal with danger before we leave."

After hearing this, everyone had a glimmer of hope in their eyes, but they were still a little unwilling. The leading teenager said, "Three seniors, we know these methods are also very useful, but we really want to become your disciples and practice with you."

Jiang Qiong shook his head helplessly and said, "Little brother, cultivation is not just about learning magic, it also requires the right opportunity and environment. Our sect has its own rules and requirements, and we cannot violate them."

"Moreover, even if you cannot become our apprentice, as long as you have determination and perseverance and keep working hard in life, you will be able to find your own path to growth."

After hearing what Jiang Qiong said, the young man was silent for a long time.

He knew that Jiang Qiong and the other two were telling the truth, and their refusal was not because they looked down on them. Finally, the young man sighed and said, "In this case, we will not force it. Thank you three seniors for being willing to teach us some skills, and we will definitely cherish this opportunity."

After saying that, the young man bowed deeply to Jiang Qiong and the other two again, and the people behind him followed suit.

Jiang Qiong and the other two felt relieved when they saw this group of sensible people. In the next few days, Jiang Qiong and the other two found an open space in the town and began to teach everyone some simple ways to strengthen their bodies and the basic knowledge of magic.
They patiently explained every movement and key point, and everyone learned very seriously. Everyone followed Jiang Qiong and the other two's demonstration and practiced attentively, fearing to miss any details.

During the teaching process, Jiang Qiong and the other two discovered that although this group of people had no foundation in spiritual practice, their enthusiasm and perseverance were admirable.

Whether it was under the scorching sun or in the breezy early morning, they arrived at the practice ground on time and practiced hard.

Although the little boy of seven or eight years old was young, he learned the most seriously. His small figure was particularly eye-catching in the crowd, and he performed every movement in a very professional manner.

A few days passed quickly, and it was time for Jiang Qiong and the other two to leave.

When everyone heard the news, they felt very sad.

They took out the best things in their homes and wanted to give them to Jiang Qiong and the other two to express their gratitude.

But Jiang Qiong and the other two politely declined, as they knew these things were very precious to those who did not live well.

On the day of separation, everyone came to the town entrance early to see Jiang Qiong and the other two off. Their eyes were full of reluctance and gratitude. Jiang Qiong and the other two looked at this group of familiar faces and felt a little emotional.

Jiang Qiong's eyes were gentle and full of expectation. She said, "Everyone go back. I hope you can live a good life in the days ahead. If you encounter difficulties, don't give up easily."

Everyone nodded. The leading young man straightened his back and responded sincerely: "Don't worry, three seniors. We will remember your teachings in our hearts. We also wish you all a smooth journey. If you have the opportunity in the future, please come and visit us again."

Jiang Qiong and the other two showed warm smiles on their faces. They raised their hands to wave goodbye to everyone, then turned around and started their journey home.

They walked slowly along the winding path. The wild flowers on the roadside stretched out their bodies freely, swaying in the breeze, and sending out wisps of fragrance.

The three of them leisurely admired the scenery along the way and quietly recalled every moment they spent in the town.

Not long after walking, a misty mountain suddenly appeared in the forest ahead.

On the top of the mountain, pavilions and towers are looming and scattered, and rays of light light up and go out, as if stars have fallen into the forest.

Jiang Qiong's eyes suddenly lit up, and he shouted in surprise: "Look, there seems to be a fairy gate over there."

Lang Nana and Nan Fengxue looked in the direction he pointed and were also deeply shocked by the scene before them.

A hint of curiosity flashed in Lang Nana's eyes, and she suggested enthusiastically: "It's such a mysterious place, why don't we go and explore it."

Nan Fengxue nodded slightly to show her agreement. The three of them quickened their pace and walked towards the immortal gate.

As the distance gradually shortened, they felt more and more deeply the extraordinary nature of this immortal gate.

The immortal gate is surrounded by lush spiritual plants, which emit a faint halo. Some leaves gleam with a cold metallic luster, while some flowers are as warm as burning flames, strange and gorgeous.

At the entrance of the Immortal Gate, there stand two huge stone beast statues. The stone beasts are carved lifelike, with bared fangs and claws, as if they are faithfully guarding the Immortal Gate.

The gate of the Immortal Gate is made of an unknown material and is engraved with mysterious runes. The runes flicker with faint light and seem to contain endless power.

The three of them came to the door and knocked gently. After a moment, the door slowly opened and a young disciple in a white robe appeared.

This disciple has a delicate face and his eyes reveal a lively spirit.

When he saw Jiang Qiong and the other two, he bowed slightly and asked politely, "What can I do for you, the three distinguished guests?"

Jiang Qiong quickly returned the greeting and said modestly, "We happened to pass by here and saw the majestic and magnificent mountain of your sect. We were attracted by it and came to visit you."

The young disciple smiled friendly and said, "I see. Please follow me."

The three followed the young disciple into the immortal gate, where they saw rows of pavilions and towers with carved beams and painted rafters, which were magnificent.

The architectural styles inside the Xianmen are unique. Some are simple and elegant, exuding the charm of time; some are magnificent, showing the majestic state. Each one reveals a profound cultural heritage.

A clear spiritual spring gurgled down from the mountain, running through the entire immortal gate. The spring was filled with rich spiritual energy, which made people feel refreshed. Led by the young disciples, they came to a hall. In the hall, a white-haired but vigorous old man was sitting in the main seat, and on both sides were several people of extraordinary status.

When the old man saw the three people coming in, he stood up slightly and said with a smile: "The three distinguished guests have come from afar. I hope I am sorry for not welcoming you in person."

Jiang Qiong and the other two hurriedly saluted, then sat down in the hall with the old man and others.

After some polite greetings, everyone began to chat happily.

Jiang Qiong and others told stories about their cultivation experiences and adventures. The high-level people of the Immortal Sect listened attentively and expressed sincere admiration from time to time.

During the conversation, Jiang Qiong suddenly thought of the children in the town who were enthusiastic about cultivation, so he asked, "I wonder if your sect is recruiting disciples now?"

The old man nodded gently and said slowly: "Our sect has always upheld the principle of recruiting talents. As long as young people have spiritual roots and qualifications, we warmly welcome them to join us."

Jiang Qiong's heart moved, and he immediately said: "We met a group of children in the town at the foot of the mountain. Although they were born in ordinary families, they were very enthusiastic about cultivation. I wonder if your sect can give them a chance?"

After hearing this, the old man pondered for a moment, and then said: "In this case, you can bring them here, and we will conduct some tests. If they are indeed qualified, we will naturally not miss out on such talents."

When Jiang Qiong and the other two heard this, they were filled with joy.

After thanking the old man and others, they left the Immortal Gate and hurried back to the town.

After returning to the town, Jiang Qiong and the other two couldn't wait to tell the good news to those who had once come to study with them.

When everyone heard this, they immediately cheered and their eyes sparkled with hope. The leading young man was so excited that his voice trembled a little: "Three seniors, thank you so much!"

The next day, led by Jiang Qiong and two others, the group of children set out on the journey to the Immortal Gate with a feeling of nervousness and excitement.

Along the way, the children chattered non-stop, full of beautiful visions for their future spiritual life.

The seven or eight-year-old boy held Jiang Qiong's hand tightly, with curiosity glittering in his eyes. He looked up and asked, "Big brother, can I learn a lot of powerful spells in the immortal sect?"

Jiang Qiong smiled and patted his head, saying patiently: "When you get there, as long as you study hard, you will definitely master many powerful skills."

Soon, they arrived at the Immortal Gate. The disciples of the Immortal Gate had been waiting at the gate for a long time. When they saw them coming, they led everyone to a wide square.

Various magical instruments for testing spiritual roots and qualifications are placed in the square.

The elders of the Immortal Sect personally conducted tests for the children. They first asked the children to place their hands on a crystal ball that emitted colorful light. The crystal ball would emit different colors of light according to the attributes and strength of the children's spiritual roots.

Then, some other instruments were used to test the children's understanding and physical fitness. During the test, the children were very nervous, but they all tried to calm themselves down.

When the leading young man was taking the test, the crystal ball emitted a bright blue light, indicating that he possessed an excellent water-attributed spiritual root. The elders nodded in admiration upon seeing this.

As for the girl in the light blue cloth skirt, the test results showed that she had wood-attributed spiritual roots and a high level of comprehension.

What is surprising is that the little boy of seven or eight years old, despite his young age, has a very special spiritual root attribute, which is an extremely rare thunder attribute spiritual root.

When the crystal ball emitted dazzling lightning, the entire square was illuminated, and the elders could hardly hide their surprise and joy.

After a series of tests, most of the children showed good spiritual roots and qualifications.

After discussion, the elders of the Immortal Sect decided to accept all these children as their disciples.

When the children heard the news, they were so excited that tears welled up in their eyes. They bowed and thanked Jiang Qiong and the other two as well as the elders of the Immortal Sect.

Jiang Qiong and the other two were filled with joy as they looked at these children who were about to embark on the path of cultivation.

They know very well that from this moment on, these children's lives will undergo earth-shaking changes.

After properly arranging the children's accommodation and cultivation-related matters, Jiang Qiong and the other two prepared to embark on their journey home again.

When the children learned that they were leaving, they gathered around them, their eyes filled with reluctance.

The leading young man said, "Three seniors, thank you for giving us this precious opportunity. We will practice hard and will never let you down."

Jiang Qiong had a gentle smile on her face and said, "Children, practice well. I hope you can all become outstanding practitioners in the future."

Lang Nana and Nan Fengxue also urged the children to study hard and take good care of themselves.

The children nodded vigorously, following the backs of Jiang Qiong and the other two as they left.

Jiang Qiong and the other two walked out of the fairy gate and looked back at the fairy mountain shrouded in clouds and mist, feeling filled with emotion.

They understood that this experience would become an unforgettable memory in their lives.

And the fate between them and these children will continue in this world of cultivation.

The three of them turned around and walked slowly along the way they came. At first, the sky was still clear blue, and the sun shone through the gaps between the leaves, forming patches of golden light that illuminated the road ahead.

However, accidents happen all the time. Not long after we walked, the originally clear sky suddenly turned gloomy. Large patches of dark clouds quickly gathered, like a huge black curtain, covering the entire world.

"It looks like the weather is going to change." Nan Fengxue looked up at the sky and said with a frown.

As soon as he finished speaking, bean-sized raindrops began to fall down. In an instant, the rain became heavier and heavier, forming a rain curtain that made it almost impossible to see the road ahead. (End of this chapter)
