Lingyuan Immortal

Chapter 502: Disciple Selection Requirements
The next morning, the sky was dyed rose red.

Chen Mu slowly exhaled a breath of fresh air, stood up, pushed the door open and walked out. He stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the distant sky, and did not move for a long time.

After a night of reflection, he had roughly figured out his current state of mind.

Currently, he has cultivated three methods and four supernatural powers. Needless to say, he has mastered the "True Record of the Capital Water Palace". After another eight to five years of hard practice in seclusion, he can advance to the late stage of the Golden Elixir.

The "Heart Mantra of the Ancient Buddha Dipankara" is a pure Buddhist practice. For him at the moment, it only has the effect of purifying the erosion of murderous intent.

However, after he reaches the late stage of the Golden Core, he can use this opportunity to practice the legendary number one magical power of fighting in the Western Desert, the "Burning Lamp Seal of the East", so he cannot give up.

As for the last method, which is also the most important one for him, it is the "Wuwang Visualization Diagram", a method of cultivating the soul.

Through this method, the strength of his soul has now reached the level of Golden Elixir perfection. This is also the reason why his cultivation level has been continuously improved without any bottleneck.

According to his estimation, if his realm could keep up with the strength of his soul, perhaps he would not need any spiritual materials to form an infant and could become an infant right away...

Of course, this is just speculation. Whether it is possible or not is still to be seen. If there is an opportunity, the spiritual materials for forming a baby should be prepared in advance.

This applies to martial arts techniques, and supernatural powers are no exception.

There is no need to say much about the two innate magical powers, just practice them step by step.

However, the progress of Qiangu Chuanliu and Qingtian Jueyun was a little exaggerated.

Especially the Eternal River Flow, which Ximo often practiced during his retreat. Now it has reached the great perfection realm and has been integrated into the Lingshu Qingyuan True Water, making it more powerful.

It can be foreseen that if he goes into seclusion for another ten years, his realm will be broken through, his supernatural powers will be improved, and there will be even fewer cultivators below the Golden Core stage who can pose a threat to him.

Chen Mu's mind moved quietly, and he took out the jade slip given to him by True Man Huohong. On it was recorded the specific location of the third-level spiritual lake, as well as the method of breaking the formation that obscured the fluctuations of the spiritual lake.

However, the location recorded on it is quite far away from Fushan Changhe, and it will take several months to go back and forth.

"There's no rush to go to the far east of Beiyuan... We can go there after we get out of the customs."

He made up his mind, sent a message to inform Gao Xiaoqing, and then took off to Nanming Mountain.

……

Nanming Mountain is located to the south of the mountain gate. It was once chosen by an ancestor of a certain generation as a Taoist temple. This shows that the spiritual energy there is rich enough to support the practice of Nascent Soul cultivators.

It’s a pity that it has been chosen as the basis for the mountain protection formation in recent years, so few people can set up caves here.

Chen Mu received the order from the headmaster and was able to practice here temporarily.

However, what excited him most was not the spiritual energy on it. After all, in the Changhe Mountain Gate of Fushan, places with rich spiritual energy were common, but there was only one source of the fourth-level spiritual river...

He is practicing hard in seclusion here, perhaps he can absorb more spirits from the long river of the heavens. By then, maybe he won't need the third-level spiritual lake, and the Lingshu Qingyuan True Water will be able to advance to the highest level of magical power!
Chen Mu walked on the clouds and in a moment he landed on the top of Nanming Mountain, next to the Tianchi Lake that stretched for hundreds of miles.

I revisited the old place, but there was no trace of Qingluan from the past.

He knew in his heart that this was because he had refined three parts of the Long River Spirit.

After waving his hand to dismiss the disciple on duty who followed him, he kept walking and chose a remote and quiet cave. When he was about to shut himself in to practice hard, his heart suddenly moved, as if he had sensed something.

"I almost forgot about this..."

He shook his head and smiled, then took out his identity token and spoke a few words before sitting down, closing his eyes and waiting. Not long after, a voice rang out from outside the cave: "Sun Chengxian, the deacon of the Mountain and River Territory, has come to pay his respects to Elder Lingyuan..."

Chen Mu waved his hand, the door of the cave opened, and an old man walked in.

This man's cultivation level was not high, only at the Foundation Establishment stage. He had a head full of white hair and a kind face, but his movements were relaxed and vigorous. When he saw Chen Mu sitting at the head of the table, he hurriedly bowed and said with great trepidation, "Elder Lingyuan, I am honored to meet you."

Chen Mu nodded and smiled, then said softly, "Are you the manager in charge of the Mountain and River Region?"

Sun Chengxian nodded and replied, "Elder, did you summon me here to accept me as a disciple?"

Chen Mu's expression remained unchanged as he said calmly, "The rules of the mountain sect are in place, and I can't escape them either..."

Sun Chengxian smiled apologetically and said, "To be honest, even if the elder didn't have such intention today, I might come to visit you soon."

All disciples of Fushan Changhe who have reached the Golden Elixir stage must choose a disciple to teach them the Dharma. No one can escape this. However, there are no restrictions on the choice of disciples, and they can choose freely.

However, most of them were selected from the mountain and river areas under Fushan Changhe.

Shanhe Territory is equivalent to Shuiyun County under Shuiyunjian's jurisdiction, but its scope and population are much larger.

For a sect like Fushan Changhe that has existed for thousands of years, the number of mortals within the mountain gate is also one of its foundations. After all, geniuses are rare, and the chances will be greater when the number of people increases.

This is the case with the Shanhe Territory, where the total population is tens of millions.

For thousands of years, Fushan Changhe has been passed down from generation to generation. Although some disciples have long since died, their relatives still take root in the mountains and rivers and have branched out.

Most of the disciples accepted by the mountain gate today are selected from them.

There are only a few like him, who joined the sect halfway through...

Chen Mu pursed his lips and smiled, saying, "I will be practicing in my master's sect in the next few years. You can pay more attention to it. If there is a suitable person, you can bring him to me for a look. If there is a connection, it will be a relief."

Sun Chengxian was delighted when he heard this and immediately responded, "Yes, Elder, rest assured. I will work hard and select a suitable disciple for you!"

As a "new star" who has risen in the mountain sect in recent years, Chen Mu not only has amazing combat power, but also has an extraordinary identity. He learned from Zhuang Yan, who has reached the perfect state of golden elixir, and has a close relationship with the ancestor Tianxing.

In his opinion, Chen Mu's path to cultivation was smooth sailing, and achieving the Nascent Soul stage was highly possible. Now that he had accepted a disciple and placed the power of selection in his hands, whether he succeeded or not, it would be beneficial to him...

If he could establish himself in Chen Mu's lineage, he would gain something extraordinary!
"May I ask, Elder, what are your requirements for your disciple?"

Sun Chengxian calmed himself down and asked cautiously in a low voice.

He has been selecting disciples for the mountain sect master for many years, so he is used to seeing strange requests.

Needless to say, things like gender, age, etc., but what impressed him most was that a real person actually required his apprentice to be half-demon!
This was really difficult for him. He searched for ten years before he finally completed his mission...

"Elder Lingyuan, you shouldn't be that kind of strange person, right?"

While he was thinking, Chen Mu chuckled: "I have no other requirements, just good character."

Having good character is neither difficult nor easy...

Sun Chengxian's beard twitched, and he smiled as he accepted the task: "I've made a note of it. I'll go and do it for the elder right away..."
