Primordial Era: I am a treasure trove, full of magical treasures.

The group arrived at the Sanqing Hall.

Behind the door, all that could be felt was a deep, tranquil, and chaotic mist. An aura of holy power and supreme authority emanated from it, calming everyone's minds and preventing any distracting thoughts from arising.

The Three Pure Ones sat cross-legged on their prayer mats. They didn't intentionally exude any pressure, yet their very existence was the core of this hall, even the very essence of this universe. Duobao and the others felt their souls tremble—not from fear, but from the instinctive awe and longing of lower-level beings facing higher-dimensional beings. The many spiritual treasures within him seemed to fall into slumber, daring not to reveal the slightest aura. Before such beings, his previously prized cultivation and collections seemed as insignificant as dust.

Xuanbao walked into the hall and respectfully bowed to the Three Pure Ones: "Disciple Xuanbao has brought people." His tone was as casual as if he were saying, "Master, I've bought the groceries."

Upon hearing their leader address them as "Master," the more than 300 people dared not be negligent and immediately knelt down to pay their respects, saying, "We pay our respects to the Three Pure Ones!" x320

Sitting in the center, Laozi, whose aura was the most detached and indifferent, seemed to have a slight movement in his chaotic Daoist aura. A voice, faint yet seemingly ethereal, like celestial music, resounded directly in the deepest recesses of everyone's minds:

"Hmm. Quite a few people."

His tone remained calm, revealing neither joy nor anger, but Xuanbao keenly sensed a faint hint of surprise passing through Laozi's seemingly unchanging Daoist aura. Perhaps it was surprise that Xuanbao had managed to "reap" so many "qualified products".

On the left, where Yuanshi resided, the Daoist aura that expounded order and majesty solidified for a moment. Then, his clear and majestic voice rang out, "His aptitude is acceptable."

"More than three hundred people, none of them are burdened by karma, and their minds and roots are pure. Xuanbao, you have put a lot of effort into this selection." These words sound like a compliment, but considering that the Primordial Celestial Venerable has always valued background and elites, the standard of "purity" is probably extremely high.

He looked at the group of disciples whose cultivation levels varied (although the lowest was Xuanxian, in the eyes of a sage, they might not be much different from ordinary people), but whose auras were all relatively pure. Although he was picky, he also accepted Xuanbao's selection results—at least there were no mediocre people or those entangled in karma.

The Tongtian Sect Leader on the right reacted much more directly and enthusiastically.

"Hahaha!" A clear, cheerful laugh, brimming with a sharp, heaven-slaying edge, emanated from his vibrant Daoist aura, instantly dispelling the overly solemn holy aura within the hall. "More than just acceptable! More than just pure! Over three hundred people! Each one with bright eyes and unwavering Daoist heart, having undergone numerous trials, their character and perseverance are all of the highest caliber! Xuanbao, well done! This is the spirit that the Three Pure Ones should possess! Though their cultivation is still shallow, they are like rough jade that can be carved; they are all promising talents for the future!"

"If you don't like these rough gems, then they're all mine."

Hearing that his third brother wanted to kick down the nest, he even stopped calling him "second brother."

Yuanshi frowned and snorted, "Tongtian, don't fight like this. This was chosen by selection, and it's not something you can have all to yourself."

The Tongtian Sect Leader waved his hand dismissively, "Second brother, you're too rigid. These disciples need the unrestrained spirit of my Human Sect to nurture them so they can shine even brighter." Laozi slightly opened his eyes, his gaze seemingly able to pierce through people's hearts, "They are all disciples of the Three Pure Ones, so let's not start a dispute. These 320 disciples can be taught by the three of us." Upon hearing this, the Primordial Heavenly Venerable and the Tongtian Sect Leader fell silent.

Duobao and the others knelt on the ground, not daring to breathe, feeling that although the exchange between the saints was peaceful, it also concealed sharpness.

Xuanbao stood aside, watching his two masters bickering. He smiled slightly, feeling that he had done right by his long-term efforts and had successfully improved the relationship between the Three Pure Ones.

Lao Tzu set the tone with his words, and Yuanshi and Tongtian exchanged a glance (although the crowd could not see their faces, they could feel the clash of their thoughts), and each restrained their emotions.

"Very well, then so be it, elder brother." The voice of the Primordial Celestial Venerable returned to its usual majestic calm, and the Daoist rhyme expounding order slowly swept over the more than three hundred people below, "Those with the most superior aptitude, calm and profound character, and enduring blessings may enter the sect of my Jade Purity Earthly Sect."

As he spoke, an invisible force descended, and among the crowd below, led by the twelve Golden Immortals of his previous life—Guang Chengzi, Taiyi, Chijingzi, Huanglong, and others—about a hundred people trembled slightly. They felt a clear resonance between their own Daoist hearts and this Daoist aura that emphasized rules, foundation, and fortune. They involuntarily raised their heads, looking in the direction of Yuanshi Tianzun, their eyes revealing longing and determination. Most of these disciples possessed a balanced and peaceful aura, a solid foundation, and faintly auspicious energy surrounding them.

The Tongtian Sect Leader laughed heartily, his vibrant and sharp Daoist aura spreading outwards. His voice was bold and forthright: "Those with unwavering will, a pioneering spirit, a straightforward and unconventional nature, or unique talents in swordsmanship, formations, escape techniques, or various supernatural abilities may enter the ranks of my Shangqing Human Sect!"

Another, distinctly different, more active and inclusive force descended. This time, the number of people drawn was significantly greater, numbering over one hundred and fifty, led by Duobao, Guiling, and others. Among them were those with eyes as sharp as swords, those sensitive to changes in qi, those with lively personalities yet clear gazes, and those whose auras were slightly mixed but whose wills were incredibly tenacious. Enveloped by this Daoist aura, they felt their hearts expand, as if they had found a realm where they could better express their true nature.

The remaining seventy or so people, led by Yu Ding, Zhao Gongming, and the Three Immortals, felt their own Dao hearts leaning towards purity and nature. They were more attuned to alchemy, cultivating their Qi, and comprehending the Dao of non-action, and were naturally drawn to the serene and profound Daoist aura of Laozi. Most of them were gentle in nature, disliked fighting, and possessed clear Daoist hearts.

Three streams of Daoist energy, clearly distinct yet running parallel, guided the 320 disciples. In an instant, they discerned the most suitable path for themselves, and each moved, forming three relatively distinct groups.

Yuanshi looked at his nearly one hundred disciples. Although he felt that the number was slightly less than Tongtian's, he was satisfied with their excellent aptitude and fortune.

Tongtian looked at the largest group of disciples in front of him and smiled broadly. If he hadn't been a little more reserved in front of his two elder brothers, he probably would have clapped his hands in praise.

Lao Tzu remained indifferent, showing little reaction to his seventy-odd disciples who preferred quietude, as if everything was as it should be.

With the assignments finalized, the Daoist aura of the Three Pure Ones slightly subsided, and the suffocating holy might also eased considerably, but the Daoist aura within the hall remained as vast as the sea.

At this moment, Xuanbao stepped forward again and bowed towards the direction of the Three Pure Ones Cloud Bed: "Disciple congratulates the three masters on the birth of their fine disciple." Then he turned around and faced his junior brothers and sisters, who were still somewhat nervous and bewildered, and showed a warmer smile than before. The smile even carried a hint of "Look, there's meat to eat if you follow your senior brother."

"Fellow disciples," Xuanbao's clear voice echoed throughout the hall, "now that you have joined the Three Pure Ones' sect, you are all one family. As the chief disciple of the Three Pure Ones, I am your senior brother. I hope you will not find this small gift offensive."

As he spoke, he lightly flicked his sleeve.

In an instant, the entire Sanqing Hall was filled with precious light and abundant spiritual energy!

Hundreds of streams of light, each a different color and aura, flew out from his sleeves and landed precisely in front of each new disciple. Upon landing, these streams of light stabilized and transformed into mid-grade acquired spiritual treasures.

As for the origin of these acquired spiritual treasures, Xuanbao expressed his gratitude to the Celestial Court for sponsoring tens of thousands of acquired spiritual treasures. Nowadays, his junior brothers' equipment is basically standard equipment, and there are tens of thousands of acquired spiritual treasures piled up in the warehouse collecting dust. Taking out more than 300 of them as a gift for his junior brothers and sisters is just a drop in the ocean.

The new disciples were pleasantly surprised to see the mid-grade acquired spiritual treasure in front of them. They hadn't expected their senior brother to be so generous. A mid-grade acquired spiritual treasure was still out of reach for most of them, who were at the Profound Immortal Realm.

Everyone decided that they must follow closely behind their senior brother Xuanbao from now on, because the senior brother was just too generous.
