I can start with eternal life and summon the ancestors of China!

"Qingxuan Immortal Sect is recruiting disciples. Anyone under the age of sixteen can try. Those with spiritual roots can follow me into the sect to practice!"

On this day, an ethereal and beautiful voice resounded in the ears of all the residents of Ping An City. In an instant, the entire city was in an uproar.

Immortal! Anything related to this word seemed high and mighty, untouchable to mortals, yet now, an immortal was accepting a disciple right before his eyes! What if? What if? What if that almighty immortal took a fancy to him?

Unlike other residents, as soon as Chen Ning heard the news, he took Heizi to the backyard of the teahouse and stayed there motionless. He would never go out until the immortal left!

"Dad, I want to try."

Ning Ping'an on the first floor looked at Ning Zhiyuan expectantly. But Ning Zhiyuan kept his head down, not saying a word, and no one knew what he was thinking.

"My girl, it's not that easy to be an immortal." After a long time, Ning Zhiyuan suddenly said something incomprehensible.

"Dad, life is only seventy years long. If I can't go out and see the world, but stay in this peaceful city from birth to death, it will really be boring!"

Ning Ping'an, fourteen years old, was a little different from other children. From a young age, she knew exactly what she wanted and what she should do. Listening to the teahouse guests talk about immortals who could fly and evade the earth, Ning Ping'an had planted the seed of cultivating immortality in her heart. Now, for the first time, Ning Ping'an felt so close to cultivating immortality, and she truly didn't want to give up.

"Alas, you've grown up now, and Dad can't say anything. Just do whatever you want to do!" Ning Zhiyuan sighed deeply and said this as if he had made a great decision.

"Thank you dad!"

Ning Ping'an was very happy to have received her father's permission. She would never give up cultivating immortality, but she also did not want to fall out with her father because of this matter.

Haw!

Ning Ping'an kissed Ning Zhiyuan on the face, then skipped out. Ning Zhiyuan looked at Ning Ping'an as she walked away, his eyes flickering, wondering what he was thinking.

"Chen Ning, why are you hiding outside?"

Ning Zhiyuan suddenly spoke.

"Shopkeeper, I just want to see. Ping'an will definitely be chosen by the immortal."

Chen Ning smiled awkwardly. He didn't know why he always felt that the shopkeeper was strange. After he became an immortal, this feeling became even stronger.

Ning Zhiyuan was still looking in the direction where Ning Ping'an left, as if he could still see his precious daughter.

"Of course I know that she will definitely be chosen. I would rather she didn't have that talent for cultivation, haha..."

Chen Ning was shocked. He felt that there was something wrong with the shopkeeper today. He was acting strangely and he couldn't understand what he was saying.

"Chen Ning, I know you are not an ordinary person. You have been here for two years, but your soul age and bone age have not increased at all. Are there any signs of cultivation on your body?"

Listening to Ning Zhiyuan's calm words, Chen Ning's heart was filled with a turbulent wave. Immortality had been his biggest secret until now. Originally, Chen Ning had thought it was due to the system. But ever since he officially began cultivating immortality, he had a feeling his immortality was connected to Heizi.

"Boss... Boss, what are you talking about? I don't understand."

Whether he believes it or not, I must never admit it!

Ning Zhiyuan smiled slightly and stopped explaining. Instead, he took out a pill.

"Chen Ning, this is the Rejuvenating Pill. Eat it. With the aura of the pill in your body, your soul and bone ages won't be so obvious, unless you encounter a cultivator who specializes in the art of immortality."

"Shopkeeper, this..."

Chen Ning was indeed a little confused now, because he completely couldn't understand Ning Zhiyuan's intentions.

"Chen Ning, don't think too much. I just want to establish a good relationship with you. In the future, if Ping'an is in trouble, I hope you can lend a hand."

Chen Ning's intuition told him that the shopkeeper had no ill will towards him. After thinking for a moment, Chen Ning nodded solemnly and agreed to Ning Zhiyuan's request. He also took the anti-aging pill and swallowed it in front of Ning Zhiyuan without hesitation.

Ning Zhiyuan saw this and a hint of appreciation flashed in his eyes. Being cautious is a good thing, but if a person is too cautious and thinks he is smart, then he will go too far.

Immediately afterwards, Ning Zhiyuan took out a book and a jade talisman from the drawer of the counter.

"You can take a look at this book. Take this jade talisman to the Changsheng Sect and it will give you a safe place to live."

Chen Ning looked at the book in his hand. There were three characters on it, but he didn't recognize them at all. However, there were also three characters on the jade talisman, which Chen Ning recognized: Changsheng Sect!

"Boss, I will never break my promise to you. I swear to my Chinese ancestors!"

Ning Zhiyuan waved his hand: "Let's go to the backyard, someone is coming."

Just as Chen Ning entered the backyard, two figures descended from the sky at the entrance of the teahouse. One was Ning Ping'an, who had just gone to test her spiritual roots, and the other was a female cultivator.

This monk was wearing a long skirt and had a tall figure. She had a stunning appearance that could captivate all. However, the aura she exuded was so repulsive that it made people feel like they were standing thousands of miles away, like an iceberg that had not melted for a thousand years.

"Dad! I can practice! Master said I have a great talent for cultivation!"

Before the female monk could say anything, Ning Ping'an excitedly ran to Ning Zhiyuan and told him the good news.

Ning Zhiyuan rubbed Ning Ping'an's head with a smile, looking doting.

"Old sir, I am Yuxuan, the head of Qingshui Peak of the Qingxuan Sect. Ping'an's talent lies in her natural water spiritual roots, making her a rare talent for cultivating immortals. Don't worry, the Qingxuan Sect will treat her well."

Natural spiritual roots? Ha! Qingxuan Sect is also a good choice. At least the sect's style is still very upright.

"Thank you, Immortal! It is my daughter's blessing to be able to practice with you!"

Ning Zhiyuan looked extremely frightened and was about to bow down to Yuxuan.

Yuxuan's jade hand gently stroked him, and Ning Zhiyuan found that he could not continue to bow, and the panic in his eyes became even more intense!

"Old sir, there's no need for that. I should also thank you for giving me such a good disciple."

Yuxuan was not at all as arrogant as the three immortal cultivators Chen Ning had met before. On the contrary, she was very polite. Both her voice and the tone of her speech gave people a feeling of being bathed in spring breeze, making people linger.

"Ping'an, it's time to say goodbye, and it's time to pack up. The news of your spiritual roots has probably spread, so it's best to leave as soon as possible."

The little girl, who was extremely excited just now, suddenly burst into tears and said goodbye to Ning Zhiyuan and his wife, her eyes full of reluctance.

"Ping'an, you are just going to practice and go on a long journey. If you miss your parents, I will bring you back."

"Thank you, master!"

Ning Zhiyuan and his wife also bowed to Yuxuan with deep fear and trepidation: "Thank you, Immortal, thank you, Immortal!"

"Ping'an, let's go!"

"Wait, Master."

Ning Ping'an ran into the backyard and knocked on Chen Ning's door.

"Brother Ning, I'm going out to cultivate."

Chen Ning smiled and said, "Great! From now on, our Ping'an will be an immortal!"

"Yes! When I become an immortal, I will protect you!"

"Haha! Okay! Then your brother Ning will be waiting for you!"

"Take care, Brother Ning!"

"May our little Ping'an have a smooth and peaceful journey to immortality!"
