Primordial Chaos: A return of ten thousandfold! Sage, please die!

A cool, clear voice echoed in the main hall.

Fei Zhong and You Hun were shocked to hear this and immediately lay on the ground, pleading.

"Imperial Preceptor, Imperial Preceptor, please don't!"

"Is the Imperial Preceptor still holding a grudge against our previous offensive remarks? But that was because we didn't understand the Imperial Preceptor before. We also had to consider the safety of the Great Shang Dynasty. We didn't mean anything by it."

"I beg the Imperial Advisor for mercy..."

Seeing the two kneeling in the hall, trying to continue their tantrums and begging, before Su Yuan could even make a move, Di Xin, who was standing to the side, could no longer stand it.

"The teacher says there's no fate between us, and that's final. How dare you two act so unreasonably and disrupt the order of the palace?"

"Get out of here."

With a shout, Di Xin waved his hand, and a surge of powerful spiritual energy swept the two figures away from the Wanfa Palace.

"this......"

Seeing King Zhou make his move, everyone in the hall trembled. Some who had originally planned to pester him like Fei Zhong and You Hun immediately abandoned their plans.

At the same time, everyone's respect for Su Yuan and their desire to become his disciples became even stronger.

They knew that although King Zhou was skilled, he was at most a first-rate general. However, since the arrival of the Grand Preceptor of Shang, he had been able to use such immortal techniques within a few days, which showed how powerful Su Yuan was.

"Next, continue."

After cleaning up Fei Zhong and You Hun, Di Xin composed himself and gave instructions to everyone.

After saying that, he turned to look at Su Yuan, afraid that his actions might be seen as overstepping his bounds.

"Di Xin, you have done a very good job in this matter."

"Fei Zhong and You Hun are the root of disaster for the Shang Dynasty. You should eliminate them when the time is right."

Just then, he heard Su Yuan's voice transmission in his ear.

Upon receiving Su Yuan's affirmation, Di Xin was slightly pleased and quickly replied telepathically, "Yes, Master."

"I'll deal with those two when I have the chance."

The others were unaware of the telepathic communication between the two people inside the hall.

Soon, the third, fourth, fifth... people came forward one by one to become his disciples.

Unfortunately, not many people are recognized by the system and rated as third-class geniuses.

The system only gave a new prompt when Yin Jiao and Yin Hong appeared.

Name: Yin Jiao

Age: 12

[Realm: Mortal]

[Evaluation: Third-rate geniuses can take on apprentices; base return rate: 100 times]

......

Name: Yin Hong

Age: 10

[Realm: Mortal]

[Evaluation: Third-rate geniuses can take on apprentices; base return rate: 100 times]

Upon receiving the notification, Su Yuan happily accepted the two as his companions, bestowing upon them cultivation techniques and treasures, and receiving a return reward in return.

After the two, Su Yuan discovered another talented person.

Name: Yang Ren

Age: 28

[Realm: Mortal]

[Evaluation: Third-rate geniuses can take on apprentices; base return rate: 100 times]

After Yang Ren, it continued until almost everyone in the hall had been tested.

At this moment, Shang Rong and Bi Gan, who had always been mindful of their age and status, approached Su Yuan somewhat reservedly, as if they had planned it beforehand.

"Shang Rong greets the Imperial Preceptor. If the Imperial Preceptor does not mind our advanced age, I humbly request that the Imperial Preceptor accept me as a disciple and pass on his immortal techniques."

"Bi Gan has met with the Imperial Preceptor. If the Imperial Preceptor does not mind our advanced age, I humbly request that the Imperial Preceptor accept me as a disciple and pass on the immortal arts to me."

As soon as the two finished speaking...

Several lines of text suddenly appeared and began to flash and jump in front of Su Yuan.

Name: Shang Rong

Age: 77

[Realm: Mortal]

[Evaluation: Second-rate genius can take on apprentices; base return ratio: 1000 times]

......

Name: Bi Gan

Age: 68

[Realm: Mortal]

[Evaluation: Top-tier geniuses can take on apprentices; base return rate: 10000 times]

"Huh!"

"I didn't expect there to be an unexpected surprise at the end."

Upon seeing the two individuals' basic information, Su Yuan's eyes flashed rapidly, especially when he noticed that Bi Gan had been rated as a first-class genius by the system, which filled him with excitement.

A first-rate genius receives the highest return rate.

He hadn't expected that the return of this civil official would be so high.

While pondering, Su Yuan quickly recalled Bi Gan's special nature. In the original Investiture of the Gods, Bi Gan possessed a heart with seven orifices. After having his heart removed, he was tricked to death by a vegetable-selling old woman disguised as a high-ranking member of the Chan Sect after leaving the palace.

He was later enfeoffed as the God of Literature, and throughout his life he was impartial, fair and selfless, and was also known as the God of Wealth by later generations.

After Shang Rong died by hitting a pillar, he was bestowed the title of Jade Hall Star.

The thought vanished.

Su Yuan reached out and helped the two up: "Bi Gan, Shang Rong, you two old ministers are pillars of our human race, and you have good aptitude and comprehension. You are destined to be with me, and you can become my disciples and learn immortal techniques."

"You two are civil officials, so I will bestow upon each of you a copy of the Five Elements Manual and five Qi Gathering Pills."

"In addition, I bestow upon Bi Gan a writing brush and a spirit inkstone to guide the literary pursuits of our human race and elevate the talents of our people."

"I bestow upon Shang Rong a set of iron scrolls inscribed with cinnabar, recording the history and evolution of our human race."

He finished speaking.

Su Yuan reached out and handed the two treasures he had refined the night before to them.

In an instant, he felt the system space vibrate slightly, and countless memories of the Great Dao of Divine Power appeared in his mind.

The message "10,000 times return" appeared before his eyes.

[You bestowed five Qi Gathering Pills upon your disciple Bi Gan, and have received a ten-thousand-fold return, including one Six-Turn Golden Pill]

[Note: Six-Turn Golden Elixir: A mortal who consumes one can transcend the cycle of birth and death, achieving immortality; an immortal who consumes it can solidify their foundation, making their physical body indestructible, and instantly gain over five thousand years of cultivation. It is a top-tier immortal elixir for enhancing cultivation.]

[You bestowed the Five Elements Manual upon your disciple Bi Gan, and received a ten-thousand-fold return, including the immortal technique "Thirty-Six Transformations of the Heavenly Gang"]

[You have bestowed upon your disciple Bi Gan a Dao-grade writing brush and spirit inkstone, and in return, you have received a ten-thousand-fold return, including the innate spiritual treasure, the Qiankun Diagram.]

......

[You have bestowed five Qi Gathering Pills upon your disciple Shang Rong, and have received a thousandfold return, including one Moon Essence Immortal Pill.]

[Note: The Moon Essence Elixir is an elixir condensed from the essence of the Taiyin Star. After consumption, it can increase one's cultivation and magical power by sixty years, and can also cleanse the impure energy tainted by one's soul, regulate yin and yang, and increase one's understanding of the Taiyin Laws.]

[You bestowed the Five Elements Technique upon your disciple Shang Rong, and received a thousandfold return, including the immortal technique "Seventy-Two Transformations of Earthly Fiends"]

[You have bestowed upon your disciple Shang Rong a Dao-grade writing brush and spirit inkstone, and have received a thousandfold return, including the acquired spiritual treasure, the Sea-Stabilizing Divine Needle.]

"Buzz!"

When Su Yuan saw the harvest returning before him, his pupils contracted sharply, and then his nostrils twitched slightly with excitement.

"This was a huge success!"

"Innate spiritual treasure Qiankun Diagram, Six-Turn Golden Elixir, Thirty-Six Transformations of the Heavenly Gang, Seventy-Two Transformations of the Earthly Fiends, Moon Essence Immortal Elixir, Acquired spiritual treasure."

With the above gains, once he refines the innate spiritual treasure and the sixth-stage golden elixir, his cultivation will be able to break through again.

Moreover, he possesses various powerful supernatural abilities to fight enemies. Even without using the River of Human Fortune, he will have the strength of a second-generation disciple, comparable to the Jie Sect or the Chan Sect.

What Su Yuan should ponder here is that the original Investiture of the Gods did not mention the Thirty-Six Transformations of the Heavenly Gang and the Seventy-Two Transformations of the Earthly Fiends, but these 108 kinds of supernatural powers and creations were indeed passed down from Laozi and Yuanshi.

Presumably, at this time, these two had not yet systematically summarized these Taoist methods, and it was not until the later Journey to the West period that they passed them on to the Twelve Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect and others.

With these two immortal techniques and supernatural powers, Su Yuan's foundation in the Great Dao has been initially established. Whether he directly passes them on to his disciples or comprehends them and creates his own immortal techniques, he can do so with ease.

After Bi Gan and Shang Rong became disciples, everyone in the hall had completed their examinations.

Next, they began accepting apprentices from all the people of Chaoge City.
