Chapter 215 Deduction
Baiyun Temple.
More than a hundred disciples stood in a neat row in a square in front of the hall.
Today is the day when the elders of Kunlun come to Baiyun Temple to select disciples. Baiyun Temple is only the outer sect of Kunlun School, the second largest sect of the righteous way. If they can enter Kunlun, become formal disciples, and practice in Kunlun Cave Heaven, their lives will be completely changed.
Whether you will be a mortal or an immortal in the future depends on today.
Some male and female disciples with outstanding looks dressed up and put on their most beautiful clothes before going out, hoping to leave a good impression on the elders of Kunlun who were selecting disciples.
According to Elder Sun, even if one fails to gather Qi, if one is good-looking, one may still be chosen by the elders of Kunlun. All the disciples tried their best to show their best side.
In the square, everyone stood straight and upright.
In the crowd, there was only one person who had a confused look on his face and kept looking around.
Chen Ming looked at Li Yu beside him and asked in confusion: "What are you looking for?"
Li Yu shook his head and said, "I don't know..."
That long dream had become so vague in his mind that he could not remember anything. He himself did not know what he was looking for, but there was a voice in his subconscious telling him that he should do that.
Soon, he woke up from his trance.
Since discovering the mysterious alchemy furnace, he has also successfully gathered Qi. I wonder if he will be selected by Kunlun this time. If he can become a formal disciple, he should have hope of building a foundation in this lifetime, right?
After building the foundation, one can live for more than 200 years.
When he was still in the countryside, Mr. Li's father only lived to be eighty years old. Li Yu hoped that he could live to be over two hundred years old like Elder Sun, so that his life would not be in vain.
I don’t know how long it took, but finally a few streaks of light appeared in the distant sky.
On a high platform in front of the hall, an old man looked up and asked in surprise: "Why are they here?"
…
Kunlun has very strict conditions for selecting formal disciples. Those real geniuses are brought to the sect to practice very early. The reason why these outer sects exist is, on the one hand, to avoid omissions, but the most important purpose is to recruit some menial disciples to serve.
As the second largest sect in the world of immortal cultivation, Kunlun has requirements for cultivation talent even when recruiting menial servants.
In terms of cultivation, none of this batch of Baiyun Temple disciples met the requirements. However, a disciple named Liu Dong was chosen by a Kunlun elder as a serving disciple and was specially recruited. Although Li Yu did not meet the requirements in terms of cultivation, he was also unexpectedly selected.
The person who chose him was a young and beautiful woman.
A young man with an extraordinary temperament and ordinary appearance looked at Xu Qingxin, extremely puzzled, and asked: "Junior Sister Xu, this person has average talent, why did you make an exception and accept him as your disciple?"
Xu Qingxin glanced at the handsome Baiyun Temple disciple and chuckled, "He's quite pleasing to my eye. Is this an acceptable reason?"
In fact, she herself didn't know why she made an exception and accepted Li Yu as her disciple. She couldn't even explain why she came here today. It seemed that something was pulling her here.
It was just a matter of the sect recruiting one more disciple. With her status, let alone one, even a hundred could be recruited with just a word.
Li Yu came back to his senses from the surprise and immediately clasped his fists and said, "Thank you, Senior Sister!"
Xu Qingxin smiled slightly and said, "No need to thank me. When you get to the sect, practice well. We in Kunlun are famous for alchemy. Since you have cultivated three spiritual veins, I will have someone arrange for you to go to Danding Peak. I hope you can become an excellent alchemist in the future..."
"Thank you, Senior Sister. I will try my best!"
…
There is no time limit for practice.
A year passed in the blink of an eye.
During this year, Xu Qingxin, whose cultivation had reached the peak of the foundation-building stage, spent most of her time in seclusion at Yuzhu Peak and was unaware of the sect's affairs. Until one day, her master handed her a jade box and told her that the box contained a precious pregnancy pill.
Xu Qingxin looked at the jade box in her hand and said in shock: "Doesn't the sect only have one pregnancy pill? I heard that Patriarch Taiyi and several other ancestors also want it..."
Grandmaster Xuanzhen said, “Lu Taiyi and Zhang Dongming both wanted this pregnancy pill, so the headmaster used it as a prize for the first-class alchemist competition and let them fight for it. For this pregnancy pill, the two paid a lot of price and won over the alchemy peaks, but they didn’t expect that this pregnancy pill would eventually fall into the hands of an unknown alchemist…”
Xu Qingxin asked in confusion: "Then how did Master obtain it?"
Patriarch Xuanzhen glanced at her and said, "You asked me, but I also wanted to ask you. The champion of this first-class alchemist competition is a disciple named Li Yu. After he won the pregnancy pill, he rejected the extremely generous conditions of Lu Taiyi and Zhang Dongming on the spot, and gave the pill to me, and specifically asked to give it to you. Could this person be your admirer?"
Xu Qingxin was slightly stunned: "Li Yu?"
She had almost forgotten the name, but when she heard her master mention it, a figure gradually emerged before her eyes.
Talking about Li Yu, a strange look flashed in the eyes of Xuan Zhen Patriarch, and he said: "During this period, he has been very popular. Even I have heard a lot about him. He has only been a student for a year, and he has won the first place in the alchemy apprentice competition and the first-class alchemist competition. He has an excellent alchemy talent. In the illusion trial, his name is only second to the head disciple..."
Xu Qingxin looked stunned.
How could she have imagined that her casual action would actually help the sect recruit such a talented disciple?
When she saw Li Yu again at Ziyun Peak, he had already become the sect's top-grade alchemist, and his cultivation had reached perfection in the five spiritual veins of Qi refining. At this time, it had only been a year since he entered the sect.
Li Yu looked at Xu Qingxin and said with a smile: "Senior Sister Xu, long time no see."
Xu Qingxin smiled and said, "I'm really surprised by your changes after not seeing you for a year."
Afterwards, she returned a jade box to Li Yu and said, "Please accept this pregnancy pill. This item is too valuable and I cannot accept it."
Li Yu waved his hand and said, "Without my senior sister, I wouldn't be who I am today. Please give me a chance to repay my kindness."
"But……"
“Oh, Senior Sister, please accept it. This pill is fine in your hands. If it were in my hands, as long as I dare to leave the sect, I’m afraid I won’t be able to come back…”
"Well... well, I'll give you these foundation-building pills. After you've built your foundation, you can come and ask me if you have any questions about cultivation."
"Then it's settled..."
…
Time flies, and several years have passed in the blink of an eye.
Kunlun Cave Heaven, Yuxu Palace.
Wang Daoxuan, the head of Kunlun, looked at Li Yu and said, "Would you like to be my disciple?"
Li Yu said respectfully: "Disciple is willing."
The master sect master, who never accepted disciples before, made an exception and accepted a new disciple, but the Kunlun disciples were not surprised. At the Immortal Conference, when many alchemists betrayed the sect, Li Yu single-handedly turned the tide and restored the honor for the sect. He had long been a hero in the eyes of the Kunlun disciples.
Behind Yuxu Palace, Wang Daoxuan pointed at a figure and said, "This is Keren, your senior sister. You should have heard of her name."
Li Yu looked at the figure in white, bowed and said, "Greetings, Senior Sister."
Qin Keren nodded slightly.
The two looked at each other, and time seemed to stop at this moment.
Looking at the veiled woman in front of him, a strange thought emerged in Li Yu's mind. It seemed that he had called her "Senior Sister" a long time ago, but when was it...
…
now.
Emei Cave Heaven .
Located in a large hall in the belly of the mountain.
The white-haired old woman who was sitting cross-legged in the corner of the hall suddenly opened her slightly closed eyes.
The Emei headmaster beside her asked tentatively, "Ancestor, what's wrong?"
The white-haired old woman looked up at the mountain and river map and said slowly: "The consumption of mana has slowed down."
The head of Emei immediately looked at the two figures sitting cross-legged in the hall.
Under normal circumstances, the speed at which the mana is consumed by the deduction of the Mountain and River Map is balanced. The slower the consumption of mana, it means that the things that need to be deduced become fewer in an instant.
It also means that they met in the illusion.
Before the two met, Shanhetu needed to deduce their lives in the illusion based on their memories, but the moment the two met, their world lines would completely overlap.
The Mountain and River Map is an immortal weapon and has its own consciousness. In order to save its own consumption, it will tend to make the life lines of two people always overlap, so that only one line needs to be deduced.
Although this saves mana, it may also have some serious consequences.
For example, in reality, they have been senior and junior sisters for several years.
But in the illusion, they may have been Taoist companions for hundreds or even thousands of years, inseparable every day. This is the most mana-saving deduction.
Several years in reality, a thousand years or even longer in fantasy.
The memory differs by more than a hundred times.
By then, the memories in the illusion will most likely cover reality.
…
Yuxu Palace.
Wang Daoxuan looked at the two people playing chess in the back hall, and a smile appeared on his face.
I thought that with her lovely personality, it would be difficult for her to get along with Li Yu, but I didn't expect that their relationship as senior sister and disciple would be so good. They have been together for ten years and are still inseparable every day.
Not only did they practice together, but they also went out together to explore secret places.
Even if they are Taoist couples, they are not as clingy as they are.
If this continues, their relationship, that of senior sister and junior brother, will most likely go a step further.
This is what he expected too.
Whether in terms of appearance, talent, or status, no one is more suitable for each other than them.
However, Senior Sister Xuanzhen’s disciple seems to have an ambiguous relationship with Li Yu.
Not only that, Emei is also pushing for a marriage between the two sects.
Over the past ten years, the Tiandao Sect has become more and more domineering and arrogant, and the future of the immortal cultivation world is unclear. Only by forming a complete alliance can Kunlun and Emei consolidate their current status.
The candidate for Emei's marriage is Bai Qingying, a disciple of Junior Sister Yuzhen and one of the four beauties of Emei.
And the person they chose in Kunlun was Li Yu.
