Fairy!

"Run!"

Shen Bai's mind was blank as he stared at the scene. To be honest, when he saw the small flame before, he actually felt relieved. Now thinking about it, it seemed ridiculous and ironic.

Even the nearby immortal sect disciples were stunned for a moment, not knowing what expression to make.

"Calm down!"

The old Taoist in the sky shouted loudly to maintain order. He looked calmly and seriously at the Ascension Platform where Ye Hong was.

Several other immortals also fell into deep thought. After a few moments, no one spoke first.

Finally, the white-clothed woman from the Hua Sect frowned and finally made a conclusion, "Heavenly grade, water spirit root!"

This created the illusion of a dragon emerging from the sea, which was in no way a height that could be reached by top-grade creatures.

A single spiritual root of heavenly quality. There have been immortal materials of this caliber in the past. They were all capable of such miracles as the Azure Dragon moving clouds and rain, and the Vermillion Bird burning the mountains and boiling the sea. None of them were ordinary people. However, it has been difficult to find one in the past few hundred years.

If this matter were to be known by the immortal sects in other states, it would become a fierce battle for it.

……

Ye Hong straightened his clothes slightly, bowed to the people in the sky, then straightened his back and slowly walked down the platform step by step. The originally noisy crowd suddenly fell silent and spontaneously moved to the sides to make a path for him.

He walked through the crowd, came to Ye Wanqing, gently took her wrist, and pulled her forward slowly.

From then on, it was like a dragon entering the sea, showing its might.

After the two of them left, people started discussing loudly.

"I was scared to death just now!"

"See? That's a true genius!"

……

As Ye Wanqing walked, she couldn't help crying again.

She also didn't understand why she had become so weak recently. Her emotions were always fluctuating greatly, and her tears were completely out of control. The whole world in front of her seemed to have become a blurred shadow, and Ye Hong was getting farther and farther away from her.

"Why are you crying..." Ye Hong said with concern.

"I'm happy for you." Ye Wanqing hurriedly wiped away her tears.

Several immortals also descended from the clouds and surrounded them.

The woman in white walked briskly in front of them, looked Ye Hong up and down, smiled slightly, and slowly said, "May I know the name of this young friend?"

"My last name is Ye Hong. This is Ye Wanqing." He added, "We have always depended on each other."

The other party nodded slightly, and then asked: "How did you eliminate your fire spirit root?"

Speaking of which, it was the first time that Ye Hong saw such a graceful woman. His eyes naturally stayed on her, stayed for a few seconds, and then quickly moved away.

This kind of occasion is really not a good opportunity to appreciate a beautiful woman up close. Just like a job interview, you have to leave a good first impression on the examiner.

He thought for a moment, looked directly into her bright eyes, and answered loudly, "I had a serious illness not long ago, and the disappearance of my spiritual roots may be related to this."

The woman in white nodded slowly, agreeing with his words. In fact, there have been precedents of people losing their spiritual roots due to serious injuries, but most of those people had their spiritual roots completely severed, falling from the immortal path to the mortal world. It is really rare for someone like him to go from dual spiritual roots to a single spiritual root, which will be of great benefit to his future practice.

Then, she raised her slender jade finger, pointed at herself, and said softly: "I am Liu Ruochen, the chief of Hua Sect. Ye Hong, you are very talented. Except for my Hua Sect, which does not accept male disciples, you can choose from the other seven sects. Do you need my advice for you?"

"Thank you, Immortal, but it's not necessary. I volunteer to join the Qiuye Sect."

Hearing this, the young man representing Qiuye Sect among the immortals behind was obviously stunned, then he stepped forward and said with a smile: "That must be my junior brother. Please stay for a while. When everything is over, we will return to the mountain gate together."

Since it was Ye Hong’s own choice, Liu Ruochen didn’t say much. After all, this was “fate”.

Her eyes slowly shifted from Ye Hong to Ye Wanqing beside her. As they looked into each other's eyes, she suddenly felt that it was rare to find a woman as bright and beautiful as her among mortals.

In fact, there is an unwritten consensus in the world of immortal cultivation that those with outstanding appearance are often favored by heaven and earth and have a greater chance of possessing spiritual roots. Moreover, the descendants of those with spiritual roots will also have a greater chance of possessing spiritual roots. In other words, if a child is detected to have spiritual roots, then his ancestors must have had someone with spiritual roots.

Seeing the two of them leaning against each other, holding hands and looking affectionate, Liu Ruochen immediately came up with an idea and said to Ye Wanqing with a faint smile, "Miss Ye is also a fairy from now on. Do you have any intention of living in the Fairy Palace of my Hua Sect?"

Chapter 10: The Blue Lotus Appears

Ye Wanqing was stunned, and there seemed to be some expectation in her eyes, "What Fairy Palace... Ruochen, the Immortal, could it be that I can still cultivate immortality at such an old age?"

She had learned with Ye Hong before that the practice of cultivating immortals must start from childhood. After the bone age is over twelve years old, the little "innate Qi" brought from the mother's womb will dissipate, and the efficiency of drawing Qi into the body will be greatly reduced. Even if you waste half your life, you may still be standing still and only stay at the stage of "practicing Qi".

So, she thought that instead of wasting time on this, it would be better to stay at home and open a business.

Liu Ruochen said meaningfully: "When a child ascends to heaven, his companion also becomes famous and glorious. This has been the case since ancient times. This is the wealth and honor he earned for you."

Ye Wanqing's face immediately became full of pride when she heard this.

But after hearing this, Ye Hong did not feel happy. Instead, he felt irritated and uneasy.

After all, he knew that Hua Zong's "Fairy Palace" was not a good place to go. Although he lived in it with gorgeous pavilions and golden doors, fine clothes and delicious food, and had special servants to serve him, to put it bluntly, it was just a place to "deposit hostages."

It was because of Ye Hong's extraordinary spiritual roots and outstanding qualifications that these people wanted to capture Ye Wanqing in order to blackmail him and force him to be loyal.

Once you move in, you're essentially under house arrest, and can only sit in the room and watch the flowers in the yard bloom and fall, day after day.

Obviously, he couldn't just sit back and watch this happen.

"My Lord, Wanqing's earthly ties have not yet ended, and her mortal heart has not yet disappeared. She is not suitable to embark on the path of immortality..."

Ye Hong protected Ye Wanqing behind him without making a sound. However, before he could finish his refusal, Ye Wanqing pinched the soft flesh on his waist from behind and whispered in his ear, "You stinky Ye Hong, you want me to control you..."

Ye Hong gently held her soft hand back and whispered, "Let's go home and talk about it, okay?"

After hearing this, Ye Wanqing somehow lowered her head unconsciously, feeling a little depressed and lost.

Then, she pouted slightly, feeling a little aggrieved, and muttered softly behind Ye Hong.

"I don't know you yet, you just don't want to be with me..."

Even the clockwork circle of friends wants to block her.

Why are you so disobedient?

Ye Hong turned his head and looked at her very familiar pretty face. When their eyes met, the resentful mood he had originally had gradually disappeared, and he even felt a little guilty.

He suddenly realized that no one had the right to restrict Ye Wanqing's freedom and choices, or turn his dearest person into an object that could be controlled at will.

The three words "It's up to you" were already on the tip of his tongue but he swallowed them back and replaced them with another way of saying it.

"I respect your choice."

If he were to live his life over again, he should always make progress. He didn't want to be mean to Ye Wanqing anymore.

After saying that, Ye Hong narrowed his eyes and thought, since someone is willing to take care of her for me, then I'll just take it as a good thing.

Anyway, my speed in practicing water magic will be very fast, so fast that it is unimaginable, and then I will beat all of you!

Ye Wanqing took a deep breath, facing Liu Ruochen, and smiled softly, "My Lord, I can't let go of Ye Hong. No matter when and where, I can't help but take a look at him to feel at ease... He will have a great future, and it doesn't matter if I can't catch up. I think it would be nice if I could walk a little longer with him..."

Liu Ruochen looked at her dignified face and suddenly felt a ripple in his heart.

She smiled and said, "Miss Ye, please follow me."

……

The young representative of Qiuye Sect and Liu Ruochen, the chief of Hua Sect, condescended to personally escort Ye Wanqing to the Ascension Platform, one on each side. The people who were cut in line naturally didn't dare to say anything, and the people around them didn't dare to talk loudly either.

It was just a formality. Even if there was no spiritual roots, the treatment a "fairy" deserved would not be less; if spiritual roots were detected, the treatment would be further increased. In any case, it was a sure-win business.

Ye Wanqing lifted her skirt with her hands and stepped onto the stairs. When she reached the highest step, she couldn't help but look back.

Ye Hong stood beside Liu Ruochen and made a victory gesture to Ye Wanqing, hoping that she would return triumphantly.

When she saw it, she pursed her lips, smiled shyly, and finally stepped onto the platform.

As expected, no unusual phenomena occurred.

Ye Hong looked carefully, holding his breath and listening quietly. Several seconds passed, and there seemed to be no movement.

"Alas." Ye Wanqing on the stage complained, "I'm not even as good as that kid."

It’s better not to stay there and embarrass yourself.

Just as she was about to come down, she suddenly noticed that the crowd below began to stir and many people's faces turned green.

Especially his own Ye Hong, his expression was as if he had seen a ghost.

Ye Wanqing seemed to realize something. She turned around belatedly and suddenly widened her beautiful eyes.

It turned out that, since some unknown time, a towering twelve-petal green lotus had blossomed behind her. The huge lotus leaves were like giant umbrellas holding up the sky, dotted with crystal dewdrops, waving in the wind.

This flower takes root in the mud and blooms in the sky, gorgeous and dazzling.

Everyone is bathed in the vibrant green light it radiates. At the same time, this is also a light full of purity and love, allowing countless lives to reside peacefully under this green leaf.

Some people have already knelt down in shock, and more and more people are kneeling down to pray.

"The flower god has come down to earth."

"Goddess of Flowers!"

Soon, the Ascension Platform seemed to be unable to bear it, and dense and tiny cracks appeared, as if it would collapse in the next second.

All the immortals were instantly shocked and looked at the scene in disbelief.

"This, this, this is the true destiny of Huazhou. Is the era of great strife about to begin again?"

Legend has it that whenever there is a great struggle, dragons and snakes will emerge from the land, and heroes from the four states will emerge like carp crossing the river. In short, this will be a great era in which geniuses will continue to emerge once in a thousand years.

Among the eight people, Liu Ruochen was the first to react. He immediately rode on the sword light, carrying Ye Wanqing with him, and flew towards the sect at full speed.

Ye Hong suddenly became anxious, and subconsciously wanted to run after him, but Qiu Ye Zong's senior brother grabbed his arm.

He reminded him, "Junior brother, I know you are anxious, but please stay calm and stay put. This is a matter related to the rise and fall of a state, and it is not something we can get involved in!"

To be honest, he was frightened by the majestic aura of the giant lotus just now, and he is still a little dazed.

Ye Hong was speechless. He held his head and slowly squatted down, as if he was still digesting the shocking information.

Ye Wanqing is the lucky daughter of the state? Her talent in cultivating immortals is even more amazing than mine?

No, she is just a beautiful middle-aged woman...

Chapter 11: Starting Over

After this incident, this Ascension Conference ended almost abruptly.
