Don't be fooled by his young appearance, as if he is thirty years old, but his actual age is already forty-five years old. However, he has only barely broken through to the fourth level of Qi training.
In terms of combat capability alone, he might not even be as good as Liu Tongzhi, the dean of the martial arts academy next door.
"Alas, being sent by the sect to manage mortal affairs may seem easy and comfortable, with endless wealth and glory, but this is the only way to go on the path to immortality."
"I guess I will only be able to stay at the fourth level of Qi training in my entire life." He Wei sighed inwardly.
He is nominally the city lord, and the dean of the martial arts academy and the county magistrate are all under his control, but he knows that he is a cultivator, not a management talent, so he does not care about many things and lets people who know how to do them do them.
He was responsible for drinking tea, fishing and visiting brothels.
The people below were also happy with his behavior and provided him with good food, drink and entertainment.
Not only him, but also other expatriates were like this.
After all, when they were asked to manage it, Huashen Sect knew that most of them were not cut out for it, and it was purely to provide them with a place to retire.
However, apart from people like He Wei who have completely given up, there are also those who are unwilling to accept this, and this is more likely to cause trouble.
When He Wei was still in the sect, he heard that there was an outer disciple who was sent out. He relied on his status as the city lord and an outer disciple of the Huashen Sect to act arrogantly and oppress the local people and wealthy families.
The local gentry and the county magistrate could no longer tolerate it, so they jointly wrote a petition and sent it to the Huashen Sect. After reading it, the elder of the Discipline Hall of the Huashen Sect, Mu, became furious and directly ordered people to capture the disciple and whip him with the Lianshen Whip for seven days and seven nights.
Beat the opponent to death.
During that period, if you were close to where the man was being held, you could hear his terrifying howling.
After such an example, most of the disciples sent abroad dared not to mess around anymore.
After all, within the influence of Huashen Sect, no matter whether it is the common people or officials, even a dog or a blade of grass, they are all part of Huashen Sect.
As an outer sect disciple, you are only there to manage things. You may enjoy wealth and glory, but if you do something that would anger heaven and man, then don't blame the law enforcement elder for using his merciless spirit-refining whip.
"Boom!"
A huge roar was heard, and the people below could see clearly the source of the sound, which was a 20-meter-long dragon-headed flying boat!
"Oh my goodness, is this something from the gods? This is the first time I've seen a ship that can fly in the sky."
"How does this ship fly? Is it the power of immortals?"
"I wish I could ride on this boat once."
Dozens of people in the back chattered and discussed with each other.
"Hush, how can you covet the things of the immortals?"
"Don't talk nonsense, or you'll lose your head."
"Oh, the immortal is coming down, stop talking."
The flying boat landed slowly, causing huge waves and dust all over the sky.
Fortunately, most of the people here are disciples of the Martial Academy, and they have basically reached the Skin Refining Stage, so a little bit of sand and gravel hitting their bodies is no big deal.
"I was like them when I first met them."
He Wei looked at the familiar flying boat with reminiscence in his eyes, but only for a moment, then he put it away.
Then he bowed to the Dean of the Martial Academy, Liu Tongzhi, and said, "Congratulations, Dean Liu, congratulations."
"Congratulations?"
Seeing him like this, Liu Zhitong quickly returned the greeting, "City Lord, you are embarrassing me."
They all knew that the city lord was a disciple of Huashen Sect, and Huashen Sect was the sky of this land.
Although in Liu Tong's perception, the city lord was not very strong, if a real fight broke out, the city lord might even be inferior to him.
But this cannot be counted as such, he is a warrior, just a mortal, while the city lord is a cultivator, an immortal master.
If the city lord had not been sent here, he would have called the other party "Immortal Master" when he saw him.
"You'll know in a moment." He Wei said.
The Ascension Ceremony is held every twenty years and is a top priority event for the Huashen Sect. Many things have long been reported to the city lords from various places, asking them to make arrangements.
Go and meet the Huashen Sect disciple who came to preside over the event.
"A 20-meter dragon-headed flying boat. It seems that the outer sect disciple who is here to preside over this event is extraordinary."
He Wei thought to himself, and at the same time looked at the dean of the martial arts academy, Liu Tongzhi, and thought: "He specifically asked to come to the martial arts academy, saying that this time there is a disciple who has a history with him, who is it?"
"I hope this time the immortal master is easy to talk to, just like the city lord." County Magistrate Luo thought to himself, "I will retire in a few years, so please don't let anything go wrong during my term."
The dean of the martial arts academy, Liu Tongzhi, had a worried look on his face: "If it is a blessing, it will not be a disaster. If it is a disaster, it cannot be avoided."
"The old fox of the city lord said nothing."
"Alas, I don't know where An'er has gone. If he were still here, he would be able to participate in the Ascension Ceremony at his age."
"Ugh……"
He had never regretted anything in his life. The thing he regretted most was that he did not stop his son. If he had known this would happen, he would have broken the other's legs rather than let his son escape.
The three people below were thinking about something in their hearts, but the flying boat slowly landed on the ground.
"laugh!"
As the light faded, the restriction was lifted, and three people slowly walked down from the flying boat.
The city lord He Wei took the lead and stepped forward, clasped his hands, and then said in a loud voice: "May I ask which senior brother is here? I am He Wei, and I am in charge of this place under the order of the sect."
"Junior Brother He, you are polite." Wei Tao returned the greeting and took out a token from his waist and handed it over.
City Lord He Wei quickly took it and examined it. After a while, he returned it respectfully, and said in a trembling voice: "So... it's Senior Brother Wei."
Everyone has a sect token, which is also a token of one's identity. Many things within the sect require a token. Once it is lost, one has to apply for a new one, which is very troublesome.
Seeing him like this, Wei Tao smiled and said, "Looking at Junior Brother He's appearance, I think he knows me."
He Wei smiled bitterly: "Brother Wei, you are joking. Who doesn't know about the ten great outer disciples?"
When he first saw the 20-meter dragon-headed flying boat, he knew that the visitor was unusual, because usually the flying boats used by those who presided over the ascension ceremony were only 10 meters long.
After all, there are too few people with spiritual roots, and a ten-meter flying boat is enough to bring the other party back to the sect.
Only when going to a prosperous place like the capital would the flying boat be larger.
But in their Liuzhen, a remote place, there are probably only a few people who can pass the screening. Why would they come with such a big flying boat?
The person who came must be extraordinary.
"There are hundreds of thousands of outer disciples, and Senior Brother Wei has been in the top ten for a long time. This really makes me, a incompetent brother who was sent out by the sect, ashamed." He Wei said.
Who wouldn’t be full of ambition and enthusiasm when they set out on the path to immortality when they were young?
If given a choice, who would be willing to be sent to these remote areas by the sect?
"To be honest, before I left the sect, I took Senior Brother Wei as my role model," said He Wei.
Wei Tao nodded and said, "Brother He, cultivators fight for their lives against the heavens. You may not always be trapped here in the future."
"I would like to borrow your good words, Senior Brother."
The two of them were chatting here, not caring what others thought.
In order to avoid trouble, County Magistrate Luo kept his head down and did not dare to look at Wei Tao and his companions.
The dean of the martial arts academy, Liu Tongzhi, was a martial artist and was braver than Magistrate Luo. He raised his head and took a look at the people in front of him, and after this look, he could not look back.
"An... An'er?"
Liu Tongzhi rubbed his eyes, fearing that he had seen it wrong.
"Dad." Liu An took a step forward and walked in front of Liu Tongzhi. Looking at Liu Tongzhi, who looked much older than before, he had an indescribable feeling in his heart.
"It's really... you, An... son, Daddy didn't see it wrong... right?"
Liu Tongzhi reached out and grabbed Liu An's shoulders, tears welling up in his eyes. If there weren't people around, he would have burst into tears.
"Dad thought you died in..."
He is no longer the mature and steady dean of the martial arts academy, but a middle-aged father who has finally found his son.
"Junior Brother Liu, you and your son have finally met each other, so don't worry about us," Wei Tao said.
"Thank you, Brother Wei."
"It doesn't matter."
Wei Tao walked forward, and the city lord He Wei and Yan Ting followed beside him.
"County Magistrate Luo, you take care of the junior brothers and sisters behind us. Take them to Hexianju first and provide them with good food and drink."
"If there is any purchase, you can pay for it first. When the matter is over, you won't owe a penny."
The voice of the city lord He Wei reached the ears of County Magistrate Luo from afar.
Magistrate Luo, with a big belly, looked at the young people of all ages on the flying boat and felt a little overwhelmed for a moment.
Although these people are young, only in their teens, they are all "immortal masters". A mortal like him cannot afford to offend them. If he fails to handle one of them well, he will lose his official position.
But he couldn't afford to offend the city lord He Wei.
County Magistrate Luo quickly changed his expression, smiled, and shouted to the young people above: "Dear immortal masters, I am Luo Bufan, the county magistrate here."
"You must be tired from the journey. I have already ordered people to prepare at Hexian Residence to welcome you all."
The young people on the flying boat looked at each other, and then looked at the dozens of people below who were bowing their heads respectfully.
Suddenly, they realized that they were no longer servants that anyone in the sect could command, but immortal masters who were high above them.
An inexplicable seed took root in their hearts.
It turns out that this is a fairy!
Standing high above, overlooking all living beings, that is - an immortal!

Soon, the list of ascension to immortality was posted, and the whole county became lively in an instant.
"It turns out that the soldiers were patrolling because the Immortal Master had come."
"I don't know what the Immortal Master looks like. Does he have three heads and six arms?"
"Hey, are you qualified to criticize the Immortal Master? Be careful and you will lose your head."
Big and small, young and old, all crowded in front of the list, wanting to take a glimpse of the so-called list of ascension to immortality.
There were soldiers beating drums and gongs on the streets. The county town, which had been solemn and lifeless in recent days, seemed to have come alive at this moment, showing indescribable vitality.
At this moment, Xia Fan was squeezed in front of the Ascension List, reading it carefully, while thinking in his heart.
"Immortals? It turns out there are really immortals in the world. I always thought they were just legends."
"Did the old man know this a long time ago, so he brought me here in advance?"
"Well, the old man must have known it a long time ago."
Xia Fan learned from the conversation of some old men nearby that the Ascension Ceremony is held every twenty years.
He is only sixteen years old, so it is normal that he has never heard of it.
"No one among the old people usually talks about ascending to the immortal realm. I think they are afraid of disturbing the immortals. No wonder I have never heard of these things since I was a child. I thought they were just legends."
In fact, because immortals are not common, many elderly people are very secretive about this, for fear that speaking carelessly will cause dissatisfaction to the immortals.
Moreover, only those who have experienced the Ascension Ceremony know that to pass the selection, one has to rely entirely on talent and luck, and this kind of thing cannot be prepared for.
In addition, due to government restrictions and the desire for social stability, the younger generation has mostly only heard what their elders said at home, and in their hearts they probably just treat it as a story.
Xia Fan was thinking in his heart, but his eyes were carefully looking at the list of ascension to immortality.
"There is a fighting arena in the center of the city. Anyone who is interested can go and have a try."
"Step onto the stage, touch the immortal stone, and you will know the destiny."
"The test is free for those under 20 years old. For those 20 years old and above, the fee will be increased by one tael of silver for every five years of age."
Xia Fan muttered to himself and found it quite interesting.
What does it mean to touch the fairy stone and know the fate by yourself?
Is this the so-called Ascension Ceremony? It feels a bit simple.
