126: Chapter 126 Registration Fee

Lin Bei looked up and met eight pairs of eyes filled with astonishment.

"Eight Saints?"

After sensing the strength of the people opposite him, he was somewhat speechless.

Since when have Saints become as common as cabbages?

"Little Friend Lin Bei, could you enlighten us... How are you able to avoid death time and time again?"

The person in the center opposite him spoke, surprisingly calling him by his name directly.

Lin Bei was taken aback, "Who is Senior?"

He could vaguely sense that this Saint who spoke was much stronger than the Middle Stage Saint Peng Huai.

"No need to be surprised. You are still within the grounds of the Sacred Heart Mansion, and everything on the trial square is under our observation..."

"So that's how it is!" Lin Bei nodded, and immediately began to spout nonsense.

"Have you Seniors ever heard of the Undying Heavenly Art?"

"Undying Heavenly Art?" The old man frowned and repeated it to himself, then his expression changed drastically, "Are you talking about the Undying Heavenly Art created by the legendary Undying Heavenly Emperor?"

"That's right!" Lin Bei nodded with a smile, "Before facing death, I had already separated a wisp of my true spirit. Once my main body dies, the true spirit can immediately transform into a new main body!"

"Unless all my true spirits can be completely annihilated in an instant!"

"All your true spirits?" The old Saint had lived for so long, he was far too shrewd to miss the implication in Lin Bei's words.

He smiled and shook his head, "Rest assured, whether what you say is true or false, we will not take action against you..."

"In that case, many thanks, Senior!" Lin Bei breathed a sigh of relief inwardly.

If these eight Saints really did take action, it would truly take some extra effort to escape.

"Little Friend, do you really not intend to join our Sacred Heart Mansion?" the old man in the center suddenly asked.

"Uh... actually, this Junior is very fond of the Sacred Heart Mansion, but unfortunately, I don't have a sacred heart token..." After finishing, Lin Bei looked at the eight Saints with eager eyes.

Instantly, all eight Sacred Heart Mansion Saints felt the same helplessness as Saint Tianyuan.

This kid is really infuriating!

"Ahem... The matter of the sacred heart token is entirely under Saint Tianyuan's responsibility. We don't have any extras here, so we are powerless in this matter!" the old man in the center said with a wry smile.

"Alright then..." Seeing there was no advantage to be gained, Lin Bei felt a bit disheartened, "Then this Junior will take his leave!"

"Go then..." The old man in the center waved his hand, and a portal appeared in the pavilion.

Lin Bei nodded and stepped directly into it.

Watching his figure disappear, one of the Saints spoke faintly.

"I don't believe he can really separate that many true spirits!"

Another Saint beside him immediately agreed, "Indeed, he should be easiest to kill right when he has just resurrected!"

"Hehe..." The old man in the center smiled faintly, "Then you can still chase after him now if you hurry!"

The two who spoke froze; they had seen the fate of Saint Peng Huai with their own eyes, and they dared not claim to be stronger than him.

"Psh! What are you saying? Since you, Senior, have spoken, we naturally wouldn't disobey!" The two hurriedly found a way to back down.

The old man glanced at the two and sighed inwardly.

"If it were ten thousand years ago, I might have had the same thoughts as them, but unfortunately... the Mansion Master said that time is running out for this era. The Undying Heavenly Art? Under the Great Destruction, what can the Undying Heavenly Art do?"

On the square, the trial-takers holding a sacred heart token had already left the line under the direction of Saint Tianyuan and stood in a separate line.

Most of them had arrogant expressions on their faces as they looked at the group of Cultivators opposite them who did not have a sacred heart token.

"Damn it! What are they acting so smug about?" Lv Zi was full of displeasure, "Have they really forgotten how they got their sacred heart token?"

"Save it!" Niu Ren patted his shoulder, "Winners are kings, losers are bandits. The fact is that others can join the Sacred Heart Mansion now! You can only stand here and grumble!"

"Wuwuwu... Boss Lin! Come back quickly! This bunch of idiots is bullying people too much!" Lv Zi sighed up at the sky.

Saint Tianyuan also cast his gaze on their group and sighed slightly.

Wang Teng, Feng Xiaoyao, Chen Ping, and Shi Hao were all outstanding among the Prodigies; he really hoped to be able to recruit them all into the Sacred Heart Mansion.

"Sigh! Forget it, forget it! Everything is fate; it cannot be forced!"

He looked at the group of trial-takers who possessed a sacred heart token, his voice impassioned, "Today, you take pride in joining the Sacred Heart Mansion! I hope that in the future, the Sacred Heart Mansion can take pride in you!"

"Holy crap! That's classic!"

Lin Bei, who had just come out from the high tower of the Sacred Heart Mansion, heard Saint Tianyuan's rallying slogan and had to admire it.

He had been hearing this kind of talk since elementary school all the way through university...

"Good! Now, follow me into the Sacred Heart Mansion! I will explain to you one by one the benefits the Sacred Heart Mansion has for your Cultivation!"

"Then you will understand why my Sacred Heart Mansion can claim to increase the probability of becoming a Saint by thirty percent!"

Speaking of this, Saint Tianyuan could not help but show a hint of arrogance on his face.

Immediately, the group of people followed Saint Tianyuan and flew toward the Sacred Heart Mansion in a grand procession.

However, having flown no more than a hundred zhang, everyone's figures came to an abrupt halt, and they looked ahead with expressions as if they had seen a ghost.

"Oh my! All old acquaintances! Congratulations to you all for joining the Sacred Heart Mansion!"

Lin Bei looked at each of his previous clients, his face full of smiles, looking every bit like a profiteer.

"You... you... you are still... not dead?!"

The Prodigies stuttered, unable to speak.

On the distant square, Jiang Yunyi's eyes were shining as he muttered to himself.

"Outside the Spirit Refining Secret Realm, Brother Lin exhausted all his means and in the end, even with self-detonation, could only heavily injure one Early Stage Saint, yet now he has taken away a Middle Stage Saint powerhouse..."

In the mountain and river map, he did not choose to buy a sacred heart token.

It wasn't that he didn't have enough fangyuan, but he instinctively sensed that there was a trap in it!

Sharing the same thought were Xia Mang and Li Jiuyou.

The two stared blankly at the reappearing Lin Bei.

They knew Lin Bei was strong, but they didn't expect him to be strong to such an outrageous degree.

At this moment, the two looked at each other, and simultaneously, the same thought popped into their minds.

Perhaps, being able to owe him ten thousand fangyuan could also be considered a kind of luck?

Saint Tianyuan stared at Lin Bei for a long time, and finally, his gaze became firm.

"Fellow Daoist Lin, I sincerely invite you to join the Sacred Heart Mansion! A permanent membership!"

Now, how could he still be embarrassed to address Lin Bei as "Little Friend"?

Once these words were spoken, the entire Sacred Heart Square fell silent.

For tens of thousands of years, this was the first time the Sacred Heart Mansion had made an exception to invite someone without a sacred heart token to join.

One must know, how many Saints on the Desolate Ancient Continent wanted to join the Sacred Heart Mansion only to be turned away.

Whenever the Golden Great Era arrived, the Prodigies recruited by the Sacred Heart Mansion were not considered to have truly joined; at most, they could only Cultivate here for three hundred years.

To permanently belong to the Sacred Heart Mansion, one must pass through rigorous examinations.

However, in an instant, everyone felt it was reasonable.

If such a Prodigy had appeared earlier, the Sacred Heart Mansion would have likely made an exception long ago!

"This..." Lin Bei showed a look of difficulty, "To be honest, Senior, this Junior actually wants to create his own faction to wreak havoc... no, to protect a region!"

After speaking, he looked at the nearly three hundred trial-takers behind Saint Tianyuan, "I also welcome everyone to enthusiastically sign up for the faction I am creating. The requirements are not high, just a special Physique, plus a one thousand fangyuan registration fee!"
