Cultivation: I have an equipment slot

Zhang Yan was indeed taken aback when he heard Gu Taixuan's words.

Brother, you guys are really good at this.

If there's a mentor, let them join too.

What, are you five major sects so easy to join?

So simple?
They just let people join so easily? And they even make them disciples of the Dharma Aspect Realm directly?
If Zhang Yan were to tell Zhuge Wan this news, Zhuge Wan would definitely agree.

After all, who wouldn't want a master at the Dharma Aspect Realm?
But unfortunately...

Zhuge Wan is not here, and even if she were here, no matter how much she was tempted, she could not join the other party's sect.

The reason is also very simple.

Regardless of the circumstances, they are all members of the Qingheng Sect.

If we join the Heavenly Dao Sect, will they then tell us about the Qingheng Sect?
Having revealed information about the Qingheng Sect, how will the Heavenly Dao Sect deal with them?
Zhang Yan didn't want to take any risks with this.

It's impossible for them to reveal this information.

Otherwise, wouldn't he be a traitor?
If he really did that, it would definitely affect his Dao heart, not to mention anything else.

after all.

Qingheng's party is really too good to him.

"I'm sorry, my master isn't here, and I can't make the decision on his behalf." After thinking for a moment, Zhang Yan politely declined Gu Taixuan's offer.

His heart was pounding when he politely declined Gu Taixuan's offer.

This is the Dharma Image Realm!
He never expected that he would dare to refuse the other party.

This is also something that cannot be done.

"Um?

"You refused?" Gu Taixuan narrowed his eyes and looked at Zhang Yan, as if the air around them had frozen.

"Young friend, why not join our Little Thunderclap Temple!"
"You don't need to become anyone's disciple; you just need to be registered at our Little Thunderclap Temple." Upon hearing Zhang Yan's refusal of Gu Taixuan, the old monk of Little Thunderclap Temple immediately chuckled softly.

As soon as he spoke, the somewhat tense atmosphere around him instantly relaxed.

"what?"

Hearing the old monk's words, it was Zhang Yan's turn to be surprised this time.

The other party wanted him to join.

It's really so humble.

They are so humble that they don't seem like one of the five major sects at all.

He doesn't seem like a powerful being at the Dharma Aspect Realm.

after all.

He showed enough potential on the Ascension Path.

But it's only potential.

Every year there are many geniuses, but if geniuses cannot monetize their talents, then it is meaningless.

Moreover.

Which cultivator at the Dharma Aspect Realm isn't a genius?
They might recognize Zhang Yan's talent and take him under their wing, but they would never stoop so low.

The only explanation is that there's something wrong here.

There must be sufficient benefits for someone to be willing to set aside their pride to try and get them to join.

However, Zhang Yan didn't know what the specific benefits were; his level was still too low, and he simply couldn't access such high-level information.

"You old bald monk, don't you know anything about first come, first served? I was here first, so I get to take on disciples first!"

Gu Taixuan was immediately annoyed when he heard the old monk speak.

"What are you looking at? You still don't want to?"
"If you're not willing, the two of us can have a match!" Gu Taixuan said coldly to the old monk.

The old monk heard Gu Taixuan's words but remained silent.

Although their Little Thunderclap Temple is not afraid of their Heavenly Dao Sect, that is only the part. Moreover, the fact that Little Thunderclap Temple is not afraid of the Heavenly Dao Sect does not mean that it is not afraid of Gu Taixuan.

Why is Gu Taixuan such a bastard with such a bad temper?

It's because he's not afraid at all.

His combat power is amazing!

Do you think others don't know he has a bad temper?
You think others are well-mannered?
No, those are all appearances.

The most fundamental reason is that guy; he's strong in combat, and he really does fight!

They might even kill someone at the slightest disagreement.

If you get verbally abused, it's better to just put up with it than to be verbally abusive.

Everyone just endured it and got used to it.

Anyway, I'll just get scolded, it won't hurt me.

"If you join our Heavenly Dao Sect, you can freely study our classic spells. Whatever magical artifacts or spiritual weapons you want, we can get them for you. If you need guidance, you can come to me anytime. Just like the Little Thunderclap Temple, you only need to be a nominal member." Gu Taixuan looked at Zhang Yan: "So, are you willing?"

Hearing Gu Taixuan's words.

Zhang Yan remained silent for a long time.

Then nodded.

He felt the conditions were about right.

After all, the conditions offered by the other party were already very generous.

Moreover, it seems he has to join a sect today.

Otherwise, he would probably have a hard time getting away.

Of course.

Most importantly, he discovered that the Taoist priest in front of him might actually be quite powerful.

Don’t say anything else.

He actually dared to threaten that old monk.

And the old monk really didn't dare to speak.

That means the other party is not only powerful, but will also likely actually take action against that old monk.

And so on.

He even dared to mess with old monks.

If he doesn't agree, he might kill him too!

So for your own safety.

Zhang Yan accepted Gu Taixuan's invitation.

"I am willing to join the Heavenly Dao Sect," Zhang Yan said with a sigh, somewhat helplessly.

"Good, good, good, you'll be incredibly glad you made that choice." Hearing Zhang Yan's words, Gu Taixuan immediately beamed with joy.

Then they grabbed Zhang Yan, and in a blur, they arrived at the location of the Heavenly Dao Sect.

"How was it, Master? Did you succeed?" Gu Jingsong asked hurriedly when he saw Gu Taixuan bring Zhang Yan back.

"Of course I succeeded. How could that old bald monk from Little Thunder Temple possibly beat me?" Gu Taixuan said with a smug look on his face. "However, I promised him that I would only be nominally in his name."

They only enjoy the benefits and are not subject to our control.

Gu Taixuan sighed and spoke with a somewhat desolate expression.

Obviously.

He was still somewhat resentful that he hadn't taken Zhang Yan as his disciple.

"A nominal disciple?" Gu Jingsong was stunned when he heard Gu Taixuan's words. He knew about nominal elders, but this was the first time he had ever heard of the term "nominal disciple".

All I can say is... they know how to play the game.

However, he also knew that Gu Jingsong was after those rewards.

Otherwise, they definitely wouldn't agree to this request; it's just ridiculous!

"Regardless, Junior Brother Zhang, welcome to our Heavenly Dao Sect," Gu Jingsong said to Zhang Yan with a smile.

"Thank you, Senior Brother. May I ask your honorable surname?" Upon seeing the other party's Nascent Soul stage cultivation, Zhang Yan quickly stood up and bowed.

"No need for formalities, Gu Jingsong. This is Gu Taixuan, the Supreme Elder of our Heavenly Dao Sect." Gu Jingsong quickly introduced himself and Gu Taixuan.

"So it's Senior Brother Gu!" When Zhang Yan heard that he shared the same surname as this Supreme Elder, his smile became even more amiable.

no way……

Given their interaction pattern and the fact that they share the same surname, they must be relatives.

Maybe he's even her biological son...

Therefore, you must not offend them.

You absolutely must not offend them.

"Alright, alright, you two brats, stop pretending. It's giving me a headache." Seeing the two of them exchanging empty compliments.

Gu Taixuan was getting impatient.

"Have all the disciples come out yet? If they have, then we should head back to the Heavenly Dao Sect. It wasn't easy to find such a promising talent, and I can't stand having him out here." Gu Taixuan said coldly.

"They'll all be out soon." Gu Jingsong hurriedly said, "This time, Shao Xie is also very good. He has completed the forging of immortal bones. I think he will at least have sixth-grade immortal bones."

Gu Jingsong quickly spoke up.

"Sixth-grade immortal bone?"
"Not bad." Gu Taixuan nodded slightly upon hearing about the sixth-grade immortal bone.

In the past, acquiring a sixth-grade immortal bone would indeed have been a significant achievement.

However, this sixth-grade immortal bone is indeed somewhat lacking when placed in front of Zhang Yan.

It could even be said that it was extremely bad.

"What grade of immortality do you have, kid?"

At this moment, Gu Taixuan looked at Zhang Yan and asked him a question.

What grade?
How can we tell the difference?

"I don't know what grade of immortal bone I am." He had long heard that immortal bones were also divided into different grades.

1-9 items.

The ninth rank is the worst, and the first rank is the most powerful.

"If you use your magic to activate all the bones in your body, I can tell just by looking at them. Generally speaking, it's based on color to distinguish them."

White light is graded from seventh to ninth.

Red light indicates a grade of 4-6.

The golden light indicates grades 1-3.

Gu Jingsong explained it to Zhang Yan and then asked him to activate the bones in his body.

"Alright, then you can see what rank I am. I should be at least rank three, right?"

As Zhang Yan spoke, he gently activated the bones within his body using his magic power.

Then, golden light shimmered, illuminating almost the entire room.

And that's not all.

As the golden light appeared, golden lotuses condensed in the void, creating lotuses in the void!
When the golden lotus fell to the ground, it did not break. Instead, golden dragons emerged from it and continuously swam around Zhang Yan.

It exuded a terrifying aura.

"Fuck!"

See this scene.

Gu Taixuan couldn't help but exclaim "Holy crap!"

He never expected Zhang Yan to be so awesome.

"So, what grade is mine?" Zhang Yan was also quite curious about his immortal bones and wanted to know their grade.

"Have you ever seen such immortal bones?" Gu Taixuan did not answer Zhang Yan's question immediately, but looked at Gu Jingsong instead.

"Don't even mention seeing it, I've never even heard of it!" Gu Jingsong quickly shook his head, then said with a wry smile, "Generally speaking, if there's a trace of golden light, that's a third-grade immortal bone; if there's a ray of golden light on the body, that's a second-grade immortal bone; and if a bone on the body is dyed gold, that's a first-grade immortal bone..."

but……

But your whole body is glowing with golden light!

And not only is the whole body radiating golden light, but why are there also other strange phenomena?

What kind of divine bone is this?!

at this time.

Even Gu Jingsong, who is usually quite composed, couldn't help but swear.

He had never seen this before.

This is too exaggerated.

It was beyond his comprehension.

"This is definitely not a first-grade immortal bone, but are there other immortal bones above the first-grade immortal bone?" Gu Taixuan took a deep breath, feeling that he was about to hit the jackpot.

"I don't know, I've never heard of it before," Gu Jingsong said with a mournful face.

He had never heard of any other immortal bones above the first-grade immortal bone.

This was completely beyond his comprehension.

In fact.

Let alone surpassing the first-grade immortal bone.

In the more than a thousand years since then, not even a first-grade immortal bone has appeared in the Central Plains.

There wasn't even a second-grade immortal bone; there was only a third-grade immortal bone.

So he really had never seen anything like what Zhang Yan had.

"Forget it, why worry so much? Just know that this kid is awesome." Gu Taixuan laughed heartily.

On the other side, Zhang Yan remained silent.

Good guy.

These people really don't hide it!
"Um, I have a senior brother who came with me. Could you bring him along?" Zhang Yan suddenly asked at this moment.

Although he was already wealthy.

But we can't forget Musen!
After all, the two of them came together.

"Um?

You have a senior brother?
what is it call?
"How were your grades?" Gu Taixuan's eyes lit up when he heard Zhang Yan's words, and he quickly asked.

Since he's Zhang Yan's senior, his talent must be pretty good.

They are all apprentices taught by the same master.

How bad can it get?

“Mu Sen, my senior brother’s name is Mu Sen,” Zhang Yan quickly said.

"Musen, let me see..."

Upon hearing Zhang Yan's words, Gu Jingsong quickly examined him.

"Mu Sen, ranked 99th, barely made it into the top 100." Gu Jingsong's tone was somewhat surprised when he mentioned Mu Sen.

Zhang Yan is one thing.

I never expected that this so-called Mu Sen could make it into the top 100.

This suggests that the other party's teacher might actually be quite skilled.

Although……

Only at the Golden Core stage.

however.

What Gu Jingsong didn't know was that Zhang Yan and Mu Sen were able to achieve such outstanding results.

It has absolutely nothing to do with Zhuge Wan.

Zhang Yan's outstanding abilities are due to the Five Elements Heavenly Gang Sword Formation, the thirty magical spells, and the enhancements from his equipment slots.

The reason why Musen was able to enter the top 100 is...

It was also because of the sword formation.

It can be said that she had no connection with Zhuge Wan or Mao.

But it doesn't matter.

They won't tell.

99 people?
You can bring it along too.

I heard that Mu Sen only had 99 people.

Gu Taixuan's interest was clearly waning.

However, out of consideration for Zhang Yan, he still brought Mu Sen along.

In general, as long as you make it into the top 100, you have a chance to be recruited by the five major sects.

However, although it was incorporated into the organization.

The treatment of the 99th place winner is definitely not comparable to that of the first place winner.

Once you reach the five major sects, you'll only be considered a disciple with some potential.

There will be absolutely no preferential treatment.

after all……

Being allowed to join one of the five major sects is itself a privilege.

"Thank you, Elder, thank you, Senior Brother." Upon hearing the other party's agreement, Zhang Yan quickly bowed.

"No need to thank me, we're all family now," Gu Jingsong said warmly to Zhang Yan, while simultaneously sending someone to find Mu Sen.

soon,

Musen was brought over.

"Let me say a few words to my senior brother first." Zhang Yan said, leading Mu Sen aside and then explaining the basic situation.

"Junior Brother Zhang..."

you……

"Truly extraordinary!" Mu Sen looked at Zhang Yan for several seconds before finally letting out a slow sigh and saying, "However, I haven't forged my immortal bones. Even though I joined the Heavenly Dao Sect, I'm still at the bottom of the class."

Musen sounded a little sad when he said this.

The opportunity was right in front of him, but unfortunately, he didn't seize it.

"So, what are your plans, Senior Brother?" (End of Chapter)
