56: Chapter 56 Mysterious Maiden Sect? Succubus Sect?

The steps for recruiting Disciples at the Yuxu Palace also consisted of three parts: testing Spiritual Roots, questioning the heart, and observing physiognomy.

"Why are the steps for recruiting Disciples so mysterious? Are they reliable?"

Su Mo looked at the knowledgeable Wang Gui, but saw that he also seemed troubled.

"Brother Su, I don't know either! It's my first time participating, I'm just going by what others have said."

Fine, even Wang Gui didn't know.

The Yuxu Palace's queue moved much faster than the other two Sects, and in less than a quarter of an hour, it was Su Mo and his group's turn.

The first two items were still the same as before. This time, Su Mo didn't dare lie and could only honestly say he was ten years old.

The recording Disciple just glanced up at him and let him pass.

"Why did they seem so surprised when they saw I was ten years old?"

"Brother Su, you may not know this, but the Immortal Fate Conference happens once every ten years. Ten-year-old children are still at an age where they cannot take care of themselves, so under normal circumstances, the Sects naturally do not accept them."

"However, seeing that you, Brother Su, have this... um... appearance, you don't seem like someone unable to live on your own, so they naturally let you pass."

"I see."

There was nothing to say about the second item, questioning the heart; the three of them passed very easily, even faster than before.

The third step, observing physiognomy, was even more straightforward; one just had to pass in front of the Yuxu Palace Elder, Xiaoyaozi.

Xiaoyaozi was lying on a very comfortable reclining chair, happily sipping some wine. The rich aroma of the wine wafted throughout the entire Yuxu Palace area, causing many people to swallow their saliva in craving.

However, in Su Mo's opinion, this wine was far inferior to the Hundred-Fruit Brew made by the Old Turtle.

Why wasn't this old man even opening his eyes while observing physiognomy? Could it be that his eyes were so small that they were already open as wide as they could go?

Wang Gui passed by in a flash, followed immediately by Su Mo...

"Wait!"

Xiaoyaozi, who had been half-reclining, suddenly sat up and put away the gourd in his hand.

A sharp light flickered in his bright eyes.

Su Mo hesitantly pointed at himself.

"Me?"

"Move aside, don't block this old man."

Xiaoyaozi waved his hand, and Su Mo was instantly pulled aside by an invisible force.

"Little girl, this old man sees that you have extraordinary bones; you will surely be a one-in-ten-thousand Dragon among men and a Phoenix among women! Are you interested in joining my Sect?"

Xiaoyaozi widened his eyes, looking at the bewildered Luo Qingxue. His drunken appearance was just like a tipsy drunkard molesting an innocent young girl.

Luo Qingxue looked at Su Mo for help, and Su Mo helplessly stepped forward.

"Elder, even if my sister has High Grade Spiritual Roots, it's not worth you treating her like this, is it?"

Upon hearing this, Xiaoyaozi let out a hiccup and glanced at Su Mo.

"Although this old man looks old, I am not senile. You, a ten-year-old child, could have an eighteen-year-old sister?"

"Just adopted! Just adopted!"

Just as Xiaoyaozi was about to make a move, Su Mo hurriedly winked at Luo Qingxue.

"Yes..."

Luo Qingxue bit her lip and reluctantly admitted it.

Xiaoyaozi put his hand down, half-believing.

"Since that's the case, I'll explain it to you."

"Your sister has an extraordinary physiognomy; her brow reveals nobility, and she possesses the Kui Water Body, one of the Five Elements Spiritual Bodies, which has yet to awaken."

"High Grade Water Spiritual Roots combined with the Kui Water Body, complementing each other, will make her cultivation progress by leaps and bounds. Achieving the Nascent Soul stage will be effortless, and there is even a sliver of a possibility of advancing to the Soul Transformation stage."

Is this old man's eyes that sharp? Can he recognize if someone has a Spiritual Body just by looking at them?

However, listening to the old man's words, Su Mo was truly a bit envious.

Why does this girl get all the good things?

Su Mo looked at Luo Qingxue, asking with his eyes, but saw Luo Qingxue shake her head.

"Elder, I think this matter shouldn't be rushed. Let my sister consider it for a while before deciding."

A cyan Jade Slip flew out from Xiaoyaozi's sleeve and landed in Luo Qingxue's hand.

"Little girl, when you've made up your mind, just come. The Yuxiao Palace's doors are always open for you."

Upon hearing this, Luo Qingxue nodded amidst the envious gazes of others.

...

On the way to the Xuan Nv Sect's queue, Wang Gui sighed enviously.

"Miss Luo is truly a darling of the Immortal path; she will definitely be a powerful figure in the future!"

"Not at all, not at all. In the future, I may have to rely on Brother Wang's care."

Luo Qingxue smiled slightly and responded modestly in a soft voice.

Looking at Su Mo in front, she discovered he was staring straight into the distance.

Looking in the direction of his gaze, Luo Qingxue's pupils shrank.

That was the Taixu Sect's recruitment site!

...

"Senior Brother Wang, you are truly lucky!"

"This time you actually recruited a Disciple with High Grade Spiritual Roots! This is worth three great merits!"

The Taixu Sect's recording Disciple exclaimed enviously.

"It's just luck. If you went, Junior Brother, you might also be able to find an Immortal seedling with High Grade Spiritual Roots."

Wang Shixian smiled slightly and responded.

He then glanced towards a certain place without leaving a trace, and a moment later, he turned his head back.

Just now, he sensed two gazes staring straight at him from that direction, but when he looked over, he didn't discover anything.

Wang Shixian didn't take it to heart, assuming it was just because there were many people around.

...

The moment before Wang Shixian looked over, Su Mo hurriedly pressed Luo Qingxue's head down and hid behind the crowd.

"Su Mo, what are you pressing my head for?"

Luo Qingxue struggled, wanting to stand up, but she couldn't resist Su Mo's strength at all.

After Su Mo sensed the gaze behind him disappear, he released Luo Qingxue's head.

"Do you know him?"

"Who?"

"Wang Shixian from the Wang family."

As soon as the name was mentioned, Luo Qingxue immediately remembered.

"I saw him once when I was little, but that was over a decade ago. What's wrong?"

"Nothing, I just have a small grudge against him."

It was nothing more than killing his father, his brother, and his younger brother.

"Hmm, the people of the Taixu Sect are indeed not good things. When I Cultivate, I will destroy them."

Luo Qingxue said viciously.

Since she was little, she had seen the evil deeds committed by the Taixu Sect in the imperial palace garrison, so she naturally had no good feelings towards the Taixu Sect.

"Brother Su, are you two done?"

Wang Gui asked tentatively.

Su Mo turned his head and found him standing not far away, with his back turned.

"If you two want to play, I'll open a premium room for you at my family's restaurant tonight. Isn't it a bit early now?"

"Damn it! Brother Wang, what are you thinking? I just saw someone I didn't want to see and hid, that's all."

"I see. You should have said so earlier! I thought you two were doing that..."

Wang Gui immediately breathed a sigh of relief, turned around, and patted his chest.

Luo Qingxue didn't understand what the two were talking about at first. It took her a long time to realize, and immediately her face flushed red, and she secretly cursed.

Most of the people in the Xuan Nv Sect's queue were women.

As soon as they arrived at the Xuan Nv Sect, Wang Gui leaned into Su Mo's ear with a smile and whispered:

"Brother Su, if you enter this Xuan Nv Sect, you definitely won't be lacking in the 'Companion' among the four elements of cultivation: Wealth, Companion, Method, and Ground."

As a man, Su Mo naturally knew what Wang Gui was talking about.

He glanced at the front of the queue, a flash of appreciation in his eyes.

Indeed, after stepping into cultivation, there was basically no one who was ugly.

In front, the female Disciples of the Xuan Nü Palace were all as beautiful as Heavenly Immortals, and they had a kind of transcendent temperament that was very eye-catching.

"Brother Wang, does this Xuan Nü Palace also recruit male Disciples?"

Just by hearing the name, one knew that the Xuan Nü Palace was a Sect for female Cultivators, but there were quite a few Male Cultivators in the queue.

Wang Gui smiled mysteriously:

"Brother Su, you may not know this, but although the Xuan Nü Palace is primarily for female Cultivators, it also recruits many male Disciples with excellent Aptitude to serve as 'Flower-Protecting Envoys'."

"Many Sects have Male Cultivators who have become Dao Companions with female Cultivators from the Xuan Nv Sect, and the Taixuan Dao Sect and Yuxu Palace are no exception."
