Professionals of the Starry Skies - Chapter 654

Chapter 654: Qing Emperor’s Immortality

“That white fox has already cultivated its primordial spirit, and the key is that it seems to have stimulated a trace of Qingqiu blood… In the future, it can be developed into the art of seduction…”

Lingbao Palace.

Inside the main hall.

The immortals and demons sat on jade mats, sipping tea and drinking wine, and occasionally commenting on the disciples who came to learn from them.

Ao Xin casually praised the white fox, but in his heart he thought: “There are all kinds of people here, good and bad… Opening the mountain gate is ultimately just a temporary measure… It is far inferior to the small world of the sect where the population multiplies and the loyalty of the people selected and cultivated from childhood…”

“However, my Wujie Mountain seems to be similar…”

However, the Taoist Qi Sha, looking at one of the images in the Xuan Guang Mirror, had an idea in his mind: “This Yiling Sanren is a killer… It’s a pity that he won’t live long.”

Seven or eight out of ten celestial beings and demons in the palace were keeping an eye on Yiling Sanren.

After all, those who can become the overlord of the soul are rarer than those who are immortals or demons.

And unless someone is deliberately making things difficult for him, the Soul Overlord should be able to pass any test in the Soul Realm easily!

Yiling Sanren was a Confucian scholar, dressed in white, with a handsome appearance, holding a branch of plum blossom in his hand, but his temples were slightly gray.

He turned into a stream of light, the fastest among the challengers, and had already reached the last platform.

On the platform, there was only a green-scaled snake woman holding a whip in her hand.

“Heavenly Demon Puppet?”

Yiling Sanren was somewhat surprised: “The Lingbao Palace Master is indeed wealthy, he even has this kind of puppet…”

Naturally, he had some ulterior motives when he came to join the Black Dragon Demon Emperor.

Because his life span is running out, and it is notoriously difficult for the Soul Overlord to break through.

Now that Lingbao Palace has been newly established, perhaps I can compete for the title of founding disciple.

Even if it was for the thousand-dollar horse bone, the Black Dragon Demon Emperor couldn’t just watch him die of old age, right?
Moreover, he would definitely do his best for the Lingbao Palace, even after the breakthrough.

After all, it is quite difficult to find a backer as strong as Lingbao Palace.

For a casual cultivator, this level of loyalty is already enough.

But when he saw this celestial demon puppet, Yiling Sanren’s heart suddenly sank, and he felt that he might have overestimated himself before.

His role is not as big as imagined!

“Does the Black Dragon Demon Emperor look down on me? Is he planning to eliminate me?”

Yiling Sanren felt bitter in his heart.

He is just an ordinary Yuanshen Overlord, with strength equivalent to the first or second level of Heavenly Immortal at most.

If you encounter a master above the third level of celestial immortal, you will be defeated.

“Take ten of my moves, and you can pass through this platform and enter the mountain gate.”

Fortunately, Green Slave’s next words made Yiling Sanren breathe a sigh of relief: “Thank you… But is this also the final test for those mortals?”

“Of course not. I am only one level higher than you.”

The green slave smiled gently.

“A small realm?”

Yiling Sanren’s expression froze, and then he felt a burst of Heavenly Demon Fourth Layer magic power, and a trace of bitterness and determination appeared on his face: “Seven Star Secret, ignite!”

The plum blossom energy in his hand emanated, and there was a hint of the law of life hidden in it…

Whip shadows filled the sky, scattering the plum blossoms.

After a few breaths.

“Ten moves have passed, congratulations.”

The green slave disappeared.

Only Yiling Sanren was left. Looking at the treasure in his hand which had become bare with only branches and no plum blossoms, a bitter smile appeared on his face:
“It turned out to be a puppet of the peak of the Heavenly Demon…”

“We have come to the right place, Lingbao Palace.”

…

Outside Lingbao Palace, Yiling Sanren was tidying up his clothes and then walking into the hall.

In an instant, the gazes of celestial beings and demons all came towards him.

Yiling Sanren seemed to be unaware of it. Only when he met Fang Xing’s eyes did he tremble and bow down with great respect: “Disciple Yiling, I sincerely worship Lingbao Palace and ask the teacher to take me in…”

“Yiling?”

Fang Xing smiled and said, “You have great talent, so you can be my registered disciple…”

This nominal disciple is just like the teacher and student in modern society. You can say they are master and apprentice, but it is too far-fetched to say that there is any cause and effect.

Therefore, strong people often recruit a large number of nominal disciples, but they have to be extremely cautious when it comes to true disciples and disciples who inherit their legacy.

“hiss……”

There was a sound of people gasping for air all around.

“The Yuanshen Overlord’s status is almost the same as ours, but he is just a nominal disciple?”

“This Black Dragon Demon Emperor is so demanding in accepting disciples?”

“Now we are going to see something interesting. It is said that Yiling Sanren has always been arrogant and has rejected many offers from other forces. I wonder what choice he will make now? Will he just walk away?”

“Hehe, you’re overthinking it, bro. If it was four or five thousand years ago, it would probably be like this… But now, Yiling Sanren is already more than nine thousand years old…”

A veteran celestial being smiled.

He has an infinite lifespan and has seen a lot of thoughts from these short-lived species.

Even if you are the overlord of the soul, your life span is still only ten thousand years!

Once you die, there is nothing.

Therefore, except for a few who are full of heroic spirit, the Yuanshen Overlords in their later years will look for various ways to try to break through the bottleneck.

Yiling Sanren has always been free and easy, but now he has taken the initiative to come and become a disciple, so it is obviously the latter.

Bang!

He immediately kowtowed: “Disciple greets the teacher!”

“good!”

Fang Xing nodded. After all, this Yiling Sanren was worth a fortune, not to mention that he was a Yuanshen Overlord with the combat power of a celestial being. There was no need to teach him after accepting him as a disciple. He could just give him a few secret books to practice with. Except that he was a little old and could not be a good slave for a few more years, everything else was fine.

And there is a solution in this regard.

“Since you are the first one to come and become my disciple, your heart is sincere. I will give you a piece of ‘Green Emperor Wood Heart’. After you refine it, you can extend your life by three to five thousand years…”

Fang Xing smiled slightly, flipped his palm, and a piece of green wood heart emerged.

A breath of life immediately emanated.

“This is… the heart of the tree of the Green Emperor’s body, right? Even for the Chaos Realm, it is a rare and precious item.”

“To extend the life of a mere soul is a waste, such a waste!”

For a moment, many celestial beings and celestial demons gathered their gazes together, as if they couldn’t wait to snatch Yiling Sanren away.

In fact, this is exactly the case. If they were not in Lingbao Palace, they might have taken action directly.

“Thank you, Master! Thank you, Master!”

Yiling Sanren was also stunned by this surprise that came out of nowhere.

Although he was open and honest, he came to become a disciple in order to achieve a breakthrough and gain longer life.

But he thought that Fang Xing would definitely test him, at least treat him like a beast of burden for a period of time before he could show his loyalty.

Some unreliable sects might just treat people like beasts of burden until they die, and then pretend nothing happened.

But he had no other options and Lingbao Palace was accepting disciples for the first time, so he still gave it a try reluctantly.

I didn’t expect…the surprise would come so suddenly!

Fang Xing didn’t care about it. He was not worried about the cattle and horses running away anyway.

“Hello, Soul Overlord… In this Qingyuan Realm, many secret realms can only be entered by Soul cultivators. You can be my slave…”

From Fang Xing’s perspective, he naturally knew that even if he was given another five thousand years, it would be difficult for the Yiling Wanderer to break through.

In fact, all the Yuanshen Overlords are tragedies. If they can break through to the Celestial Immortals or the Celestial Demons, it is almost impossible for them to stay in this realm for too long.

“Unless… I train you at all costs.”

“Well… it all depends on his luck. If he can obtain something that pleases me, it wouldn’t be a big deal if he were promoted to the Heavenly Immortal Realm.”

“I paid first…”

Fang Xing thought calmly.

Not long after, after Yiling Sanren, Dongshan Ao, Baishan Fox and other demons entered the palace one by one and solemnly performed the ceremony of paying homage to their master.

Fang Xing accepted everyone who came to him, but he did not have a single direct disciple. All of them were registered disciples, which made the immortals and demons secretly astonished.

“Senior, your vision is really high…”

After all, Ao Xin had some friendship with Fang Xing before, so he spoke more casually: “How could you even look down upon Yiling Sanren and the cultivator with the ‘Sky Moon Body’?”

“Haha, I only accept disciples based on personal liking.”

Fang Xing looked at the densely packed registered disciples below and coughed, “My Lingbao Palace has thousands of dharmas and countless treasures… There are twelve celestial immortals and celestial demons available, you must do your best to get them.”

As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of the monks from the Nuwa Palace became extremely ugly.

The disciples who knew the inside information were naturally gearing up secretly, knowing that they had come upon a good opportunity.

If we wait until the Twelve Celestial Immortals return before we can make a breakthrough, it will be extremely difficult without the massive resources provided by the Lingbao Palace.

“Then I wonder which disciple you are optimistic about, Senior?”

Ao Xin glanced at it a few times, feeling a little curious.

“Spread the internet widely… Speaking of the disciple with the plant body, he is pretty good now.”

Fang Xing pointed at someone at random.

Ao Xin looked over and saw a young human in a green robe with an ordinary appearance.

Although the body of plants can be considered a spiritual talent, it is only okay when one is in the Yuanshen realm, but it is far inferior to the ‘body of the sky and the moon’ which can still play a role when one is in the thirteenth realm of heavenly immortals and heavenly demons.

She was a little suspicious for a moment.

“In my Lingbao Palace, there is a volume of ‘The Green Emperor’s Longevity Secret’, which I think is quite suitable for this person to practice…”

Fang Xing explained with a faint smile.

After obtaining the longevity tree of the Green Emperor, he naturally did some research on it.

Now we have begun to experiment on how to produce tree species from the longevity tree.

And when the tree species mature, they can naturally be handed over to the monks. Combined with the talent of the druid [Tree Shepherd], they can be cultivated into lifelong spiritual plants. Perhaps they can break through the restrictions of the laws of this world and live for more than ten thousand years in the Yuanshen realm.

Of course, this technique only had a rudimentary form in his mind, the key still depended on the actual action.

“And observing all the ways is to prepare for opening up new ways in the future…”

Fang Xing looked at the complacent disciples below and couldn’t help feeling a little pity for a moment.

Most of these disciples would probably become cannon fodder on his road to “opening up the path”.

Of course, many people cannot even hope to become such cannon fodder.

“Now that I have everything ready, it all depends on me…”

“No, I am the original body… But the talents of this black dragon body are obviously inferior to the original body, especially the ‘great divinity’…”
