"Let me see. It says that the Yu Kingdom was destroyed because a spiritual weapon was destroyed by a casual cultivator."

"Humph, a casual cultivator dares to cause trouble in my Huashen Sect's territory."

The short and fat old man snorted coldly: "No matter whether he is a real or fake cultivator, I will have the sect issue an extermination order to avenge you."

"Destroy his three clans, destroy his forces, extract his spirit, and send him to the Nine Abysses, where he will never be able to rise again."

"..."

Damn, this guy is a bit overbearing.

Are all immortal cultivators like this?

Seeing Tang Ansheng's strange look, the short and fat old man thought that he had softened his heart, so he said: "You are a disciple of my Huashen Sect. Bullying you is equivalent to slapping my Huashen Sect's face."

"Don't worry about this matter. None of the people who destroyed your Yu country will escape."

"If you are not satisfied, you can destroy the Wu Kingdom."

"If there are any descendants of the Yu Kingdom's royal family, you can let him be the emperor. It's up to you."

As the saying goes, when a common man gets angry, blood splatters five steps away.

If this Yuanying gets angry, the heaven and earth will be in turmoil.

With just one sentence, the Yu Kingdom, which had been destroyed for who knows how long, was able to revive again. This is Yuanying Zhenjun!

But it was only because of Tang Ansheng. If it were an ordinary spiritual root disciple, this kind of thing would never have happened.

But this also indirectly reflects the importance that Huashen Sect attaches to disciples with natural spiritual roots.

"That doesn't have to be the case."

"Alas, mortals are soft-hearted." The short and fat old man shook his head, "Since you have spoken, I will not pursue this matter too much. I will only punish the main culprit."

"No, what I mean is don't kill anyone first. Innocent people can be let go. As for the evildoers, arrest them first and I will kill them myself later." Tang Ansheng said.

It's not like he hasn't read novels about cultivating immortals. Some of the magic techniques require the use of humans, but slaughtering innocent people on a large scale can easily cause trouble.

And now, there is a group of evil people in front of him. He can't use them now, and it is not ruled out that he will not be able to use them in the future.

In short, use it as a backup hidden energy source, just in case.

"..."

The short and fat old man was stunned for a moment, then he laughed: "Interesting, interesting, okay, I'll do as you say."

"I like you more and more. My name is Qian Zhenhai, and outsiders call me Zhenhai Zhenjun."

"True Lord Zhenhai." Tang Ansheng responded.

"Ah."

The short and fat old man Zhen Hai Zhen Jun smiled, then waved his hand and said, "We have arrived at the heart of the sect. I will take you down."

"We'll talk about the rest later."

…………

In the heart of Huashen Sect, Sect Master Qiao Shuzhen stood in the main hall with sweat constantly beading on his forehead.

There were constant quarrels all around him, but he didn't dare to say anything and could only listen.

"That girl has a natural wood spiritual root, so she should be my disciple."

"Bullshit, you haven't even mastered the Nine True Wood Element Art yourself, yet you're teaching others? Be careful not to mislead them." An old voice retorted.

A clear female voice said, "Old man, don't you see how old you are? Would a girl be willing to be with you?"

"I'm old? Humph, you are hundreds of years older than me. You are the oldest among all the Taoist friends present here!"

A clear female voice said angrily, "What do you know? Age is age, but my heart is not old at all. Besides, if we go out together, people will just think you are old and immortal."

"Okay, we are all fellow Taoists, there is nothing to argue about. Since you are all fighting for that girl, the young man with golden spiritual roots can become my disciple." A hoarse voice sounded.

"Okay, you old man, you are waiting here. How can you, a guy who forged his Nascent Soul with fire, teach others?"

"You don't need to tell me how to teach."

"Why don't we have a competition, and whoever comes first gets to choose the apprentice first."

"Okay, let's compare."

Sect leader Qiao Shuzhen was standing below, and the more he listened, the more sweat he felt on his forehead.

Originally, the several great elders were talking peacefully, but the more they talked, the more excited they became, and now there was a vague tendency for a fight to break out.

Is this okay?

If these Yuanying Zhenjuns started fighting, he, the sect leader, would be the first to die here.

After he dies, this hinterland will no longer exist!

"True Lord! Supreme!"

Qiao Shuzhen hurriedly cupped his hands and shouted, "It also depends on the disciple's willingness to accept a disciple!"

After he said this, everyone gradually calmed down.

Although they are overbearing, accepting disciples is not something that can be achieved by being overbearing.

After all, in the world of cultivating immortals, the relationship between master and disciple is more solid than that between father and son.

It would be bad if accepting someone as your disciple causes dissatisfaction and plants some seeds in their heart, which will bear bad consequences in the future.

Seeing that the several True Lords had calmed down, Sect Master Qiao Shuzhen spoke again: "True Lord, there is one more thing."

"What's the matter?" came the hoarse voice from before.

"Among the disciples recruited this time, there is also a person with a natural spiritual root, and he is a person with a different natural spiritual root."

"Oh, there's more?" The clear female voice asked with a hint of surprise.

I originally thought that having two people with natural spiritual roots was already a great blessing for the sect, but I didn’t expect there was another one.

"What is the spiritual root?"

"According to preliminary detection, it should be a rare poison-type spiritual root." Qiao Shuzhen said respectfully.

"poison?"

“This is a bit rare.”

"What's so rare? I haven't seen any poisonous spiritual roots in the past two thousand years!"

The old voice said, "Poison-type ones are rare, and they are also natural spiritual roots. In terms of value, they are probably more valuable than the other two combined."

Poison-type spiritual root, he is an expert in using poison.

"But among the current Nascent Soul cultivators, I have never heard of anyone achieving enlightenment through poison. How difficult."

Several Yuanying Zhenjuns were in a dilemma, but what made them even more confused was Qiao Shuzhen's next words.

"Master, besides this, this man is already over seventy years old."

"Seventy?!" a voice asked in surprise.

With just one sentence, everyone present instantly quieted down, without the previous noise anymore.

If it were in the past, let alone at the age of 70, even at the age of 80, people would have to be trained, after all, there was no choice.

But now, in addition to this person, there are two more people with natural spiritual roots, so the range of choices is much larger.

"Old Wood, didn't you say that you have the most profound skills? I will leave this disciple to you."

"Get out of the way. I didn't become a Taoist through poison. Why don't you say you are here to teach me?"

"Oh, I think you look down on other people's disciples."

"you……"

Seeing that several people were about to quarrel again, a short and fat figure suddenly walked in. Seeing this, the sect leader Qiao Shuzhen was the first to react and said with a bow:

"Meet Zhenhai Zhenjun."

"Hey, Xiao Shuzhen, why are you being so polite to me? Don't do this again next time." said the short and fat old man.

“Master, could you please stop calling me Xiao Shuzhen…” Qiao Shuzhen’s old face turned red.

He is hundreds of years old, and it is a bit uncomfortable for him to be addressed like that in private. If he is addressed like that in public, how can he face it?

"Okay, Xiao Shuzhen."

Qian Zhenhai waved his hand, stepped forward, and then said: "What are you arguing about, fellow Taoists?"

"Humph, Zhenhai, you came here by chance. Tell me, what should we do with the disciples with heavenly spiritual roots this year?"

Seeing this, Qiao Shuzhen below hurriedly explained to him what had just happened.

In response, Qian Zhenhai laughed and said, "This is simple. The master chooses the apprentice, and the apprentice also chooses the master."

"How many years has it been since our Huashen Sect has produced a disciple with a natural spiritual root?"

"As far as I know, not only our sect, but also the other two sects and factions have recruited more than one disciple with a natural spiritual root."

"I don't need to explain what this means."

Qian Zhenhai's words made the others silent.

There must be something wrong when things are abnormal. The appearance of so many geniuses will probably cause unpredictable turmoil in the world of immortal cultivation.

“This is a time of great contention.”

"Not only should the disciples work hard, but we old men should also contribute our share of strength."

"Oh, you mean..." an old voice asked.

Qian Zhenhai did not answer, but looked at the sect leader Qiao Shuzhen and asked, "After each Ascension Ceremony, is there an entrance test for new students?"

"Reply to Master Zhen, there is such a thing."

Sect Master Qiao Shuzhen said: "The talents and numbers of the disciples recruited this time are far greater than in the past. I am preparing to reform the assessment method."

"Yes." Qian Zhenhai nodded. "In that case, how about the top five disciples choosing one of the Nascent Souls to be their master?"

Those who rank high in the assessment will receive rewards, but there has never been such a reward.

Firstly, this matter has to be voluntary on the part of the Yuanying masters and cannot be forced. Secondly, these Yuanying masters do not look down on those former disciples.

But this time it’s different, there are too many talented disciples.

"This..." The other Yuanying Zhenjuns were a little hesitant.

"Anyway, you won't achieve anything after arguing for a long time, and you might even have to fight in the end. Don't destroy the thousands of years of foundation of our Huashen Sect." Qian Zhenhai said.

The others thought about it and felt that what he said made sense.

Firstly, as Nascent Soul masters, if they were to come to blows, not to mention the destructive power, there is a greater chance that the enemy forces would find their flaws, which would be bad for both the sect and them.

Secondly, the disciples recruited this time are indeed extraordinary. Those who can make it into the top five are probably no less qualified than when they were young, or even stronger. It is not a loss to accept them as disciples.

"Okay, let's do as Manami says."

After several people made an agreement, the noisy sounds disappeared, and the figures gradually dispersed. Soon, only the sect leader, Qiao Shuzhen and Zhenhai Zhenjun were left in the entire hall.

"Hey, thank you very much for your help, otherwise..." Qiao Shuzhen said with a bow.

These supreme elders all have strange tempers and were true geniuses when they were young. Unless they really fight, no one will submit to anyone else.

But if a fight really breaks out, they might be fine, but he will be dead.

"It doesn't matter. Those old immortals can't improve their realm or increase their skills. They can only take advantage of each other in verbal battles."

These words made the sect leader Qiao Shuzhen ashamed. Since this concerned Yuanying Zhenjun, who would dare to slander him like this? Only Qian Zhenhai, who was also a Yuanying Zhenjun, could say this.

"Then Master, I will go down and make arrangements." Qiao Shuzhen didn't want to get involved in Nascent Soul affairs.

After all, he is just a Jindan, and if he gets involved, he will be shattered to pieces if he is not careful.

"Wait a minute, I have some things I need you to arrange regarding that disciple named Xia Ansheng." Qian Zhenhai stopped him and instructed.

"True Lord, please speak."

"He is old. Although he has a natural spiritual root, it will be more difficult for him to embark on the path of immortality than for others."

"Besides, it's poison-related. Our sect doesn't have a Nascent Soul True Lord who has achieved enlightenment through poison-related methods, so it's difficult to help him in this regard."
