At this moment, it was the center that everyone was scrambling for.

Li Qingchen, however, wrinkled her delicate little nose in slight distress.

She didn't like being stared at like a rare animal by so many people.

Moreover, the conditions offered by these old men sounded quite good.

But she subconsciously felt that it was definitely not as useful as the "snacks" her father would casually make for her.

She quietly moved closer to Ye Fan and Pang Bo.

At this moment, Elder Wu Qingfeng of Lingxu Cave Heaven suppressed his excitement and tried to speak to Li Qingchen in a gentle tone: "Young lady, you possess such an extraordinary bloodline, your path of cultivation will surely be smooth sailing. Would you be willing to join my Lingxu Cave Heaven? I will personally teach you and treat you as my own disciple!"

Li Qingchen glanced at the old men surrounding him, their faces practically screaming "Pick me! Pick me!", before finally fixing his gaze on Ye Fan.

Those emerald green eyes darted around, and she asked in a clear, crisp voice, "Then...where are Brother Ye and Brother Pang Bo? Where did they go?"

Wu Qingfeng was taken aback and looked at Ye Fan and Pang Bo.

Pang Bo's physique has also been tested. Although it is not as heaven-defying as Li Qingchen's, it is still an extremely rare "demon god bloodline" and is equally worthy of cultivation.

As for Ye Fan...

Wu Qingfeng looked slightly embarrassed, but still told the truth.

"Young friend Pang Bo has a special physique, and our Lingxu Cave Heaven naturally welcomes him."

"It's just that young friend Ye Fan's Ancient Sacred Body is indeed difficult to cultivate in this world. Ancient books from various schools have long established this conclusion. Forcing one to enter the path would probably be a waste of time and resources."

"Perhaps... it would be better to live a peaceful life in this world!"

This was said in a rather tactful way, but the meaning was quite clear.

Pang Bo immediately objected.

He was a man of loyalty, and having shared life and death with Ye Fan along the way, their bond was deep. He immediately shouted, "No way! If Ye Fan isn't going, I'm not going either! If you're going to take us, take us both!"

Li Qingchen immediately nodded and took Ye Fan's arm: "Yes, if Brother Ye isn't going, I won't go either. I want to stay with Brother Ye and Brother Pang Bo!"

She said it so matter-of-factly, with a touch of girlish naiveté and willfulness, that everyone present was taken aback.

Wu Qingfeng and the other elders exchanged bewildered glances, never expecting that this little girl with unparalleled bloodline would care so much about that "useless" companion.

Their gazes toward Ye Fan became complicated once again.

This kid seems to be quite popular.

Zhou Yi, Lin Jia, Wang Ziwen, and other classmates also looked at Ye Fan with different expressions.

Unexpectedly, at the last moment, it was Pang Bo and the mysterious Li Qingchen who insisted on taking him along.

Li Xiaoman's eyes flickered slightly, her lips pursed, but she ultimately said nothing.

Touched, Ye Fan patted Pang Bo on the shoulder and smiled at Li Qingchen.

He promised Uncle Li he would take care of his sister, how could he forget?

Then he looked at Wu Qingfeng and said neither humbly nor arrogantly, "Elder Wu, I am aware of my physical limitations and dare not hope to be treated the same as Qingchen and Pang Bo. If Lingxu Cave Heaven is willing to take me in, I am willing to start as a servant, just asking for an opportunity to come into contact with cultivation and understand this world."

"If it is truly inconvenient, I will have no complaints!"

His frank attitude earned him Wu Qingfeng's respect.

Wu Qingfeng pondered for a moment, then whispered a few words to the other elders of Lingxu Cave Heaven.

Finally, he looked at Li Qingchen, then at Pang Bo with a determined look in his eyes, and sighed: "Very well, Ye Fan, you may enter my Lingxu Cave Heaven with Pang Bo and Li Qingchen."

"Although your physique is special, and the sect may not be able to provide you with many resources, once you join our sect, you are a disciple of the Spirit Ruins, and you will have the right to access basic cultivation techniques and the lecture hall. As for your future achievements... that depends on your own destiny."

This is already a huge concession, obviously made out of consideration for Li Qingchen and Pang Bo.

Ye Fan bowed respectfully: "Thank you, Elder Wu, and thank you all, seniors."

The elders standing to the side became anxious as they watched the people in front of them seemingly decide their fate in just a few words.

"Wu Qingfeng, you're taking advantage of our misfortune!"

"Indeed, this little girl possesses the bloodline of the Azure Dragon; how could your Spirit Ruins Cave Heaven possibly monopolize her?"

"We haven't even stated our terms, how can we draw such a conclusion so hastily? This is unfair!"

"We can also pack up our sacred bodies and cultivate together; we're not afraid of being a burden!"

......

Several elders from Jinxia Cave Heaven, Yuding Cave Heaven, and Yanxia Cave Heaven stepped forward, arguing heatedly, their faces flushed. It seemed that the argument was about to escalate into a more intense conflict.

They could concede on Pang Bo's demon god bloodline.

But who would easily let go of this immortal seedling with the innate Azure Dragon bloodline?

They even offered a condition that would allow Ye Fan to join them in their cultivation journey!

The hall erupted into another uproar. Several elders' auras shifted subtly, suggesting they were ready to fight at the slightest provocation before deciding who would belong to whom.

Ye Fan, Pang Bo, and Li Qingchen were caught in the middle, looking both helpless and amused.

Just as things were getting chaotic and noisy, a clear and ethereal female voice, as if it had fallen from the clouds, suddenly rang out in everyone's hearts.

"The innate Qi of the Azure Dragon of the Wood element... How about you join my sect and cultivate there?"

......

The sound wasn't loud, yet it strangely overwhelmed all the noise, carrying a calming, tranquil quality that soothed the restlessness.

Immediately afterwards, everyone was horrified to discover that outside the hall, where it was clearly midday, the sky had suddenly darkened considerably.

Tiny, sparkling snowflakes, imbued with pure and delicate beauty, materialized out of thin air and drifted down softly.

At the same time, purple mist surged from the eastern horizon, like smoke and rosy clouds, quickly spreading over and enveloping the entire town in a peaceful and mysterious pale purple halo.

In the sky, golden lotus phantoms bloomed and vanished, and the Daoist sounds were faint, as if heaven and earth were celebrating and welcoming the arrival of a certain being.

"A strange phenomenon has occurred in the heavens and earth: purple aura is rising from the east, and golden lotuses are emerging... This signifies the arrival of an unparalleled figure!"

A knowledgeable old monk exclaimed in surprise.

Swish!

Swish!

Swish!

The sound of air being cut through rang out one after another, and more than a dozen slender figures rode divine rainbows and gracefully landed in the courtyard in front of the hall.

They were all dressed in similar light purple dresses, their figures light and graceful, their temperament aloof and ethereal, like a group of fairies descended to earth.

The woman at the head of the group immediately attracted everyone's attention.

She looked to be no more than twenty years old, wearing a well-tailored purple palace dress, the hem of which fluttered gently in the light breeze and snowflakes.

She has a slender figure with graceful curves, and her thin waist seems so delicate that it could be grasped with a single hand.

Furthermore, her long, black hair cascaded down her back, loosely tied up with only a seemingly ordinary wooden hairpin, while the rest flowed smoothly over her shoulders, the ends swaying gently with her steps.

A faint, flowing purple mist shrouded her face, making her stunning features somewhat hazy and indistinct, adding to her mystery and sense of distance.

Between his brows, a faint golden Dao seal shone through the purple mist, radiating a subtle glow.

Her purple aura and the swirling snow created a strange harmony, making her seem as if she had become one with the natural world, inseparable from it.

She stood quietly amidst the falling snow and purple clouds, like a purple fairy flower standing alone in the world, pure and beautiful, with an indescribable Taoist charm.
