After becoming a Taoist partner with my senior sister, my master changed

Lin Chuan, who was traveling outside, spent a few days sorting out the original owner's memories and adapting to the new environment, then he continued to head towards the Qingluan Holy Land.

Through the original owner's memory, Lin Chuan learned that there are three main races on this continent: humans, monsters, and demons.

The human race resided in the eastern part of the continent, rich in resources and a pleasant climate. The demon race resided in the western part of the continent, facing a resource-scarce and cold climate. The demon race, on the other hand, resided in the southern part of the continent, where demonic energy lingered year-round, making it unsuitable for other races to survive. Consequently, conflicts over territory between the human and demon races frequently erupted. As for what lay to the north of the continent, the original owner's memories contained no mention of it.

When talking about the war between humans and demons, we have to mention the four holy places of humans. It was precisely because of the existence of the four holy places that the demons failed to invade humans successfully.

Lin Chuan knew that if he wanted to survive in this world, strength and background were both indispensable, and Qingluan Holy Land, one of the four holy places, was undoubtedly the best choice.

Qingluan Holy Land, Trial Square.

The square was filled with dense crowds of people, all looking expectantly at the immortals in the front.

"I declare that the 10086th Disciple Recruitment Conference is now open. First, please allow our Qingluan Holy Land's Holy Lord, Li Jun, to speak."

There was a burst of warm applause.

"First of all, welcome everyone..." (10,000 words omitted here).

Lin Chuan was stunned by the scene before him. Even in the world of immortal cultivation, was he still dependent on the leadership's words?

After Saint Lord Li Jun had been rambling on for over two hours, a Peak Master, a man of serene elegance and beauty, finally couldn't take it anymore. An expression of impatience crossed her face, as if she was incredibly fed up with this long and monotonous speech.

I saw a sword mark appearing on the ground. If I took another step forward, the sword mark would fall on the sect leader.

"Hey, Senior Sister Xu, what are you doing?" Li Jun asked secretly.

"Hurry up, I still have to go back to practice swordplay."

"okay."

"I declare the trial to begin. This trial will primarily test your character and aptitude."

"One's character determines the breadth of one's immortal path, while one's aptitude determines its length. Both are indispensable."

"The first test you will face is this Heavenly Ladder. You must attempt to climb it. The further you go, the better your character will be, and the wider your future path to immortality will be."

"Brother, do you know what the ladder to heaven is?" Lin Chuan asked a strong man next to him.

"You come to become my disciple without knowing this? Go back to where you came from, you bastard!" The burly man looked at Lin Chuan with a mocking expression.

Lin Chuan was speechless. "I just asked a question, and you're mocking me. Am I some kind of destiny?"

"There are 99 ladders to heaven. Every time you climb one, the climber will experience a test of inner demons or illusions. In the past thousand years, only Xu Hanyi, the elder of Tianjian Peak in Qingluan Holy Land, has reached the top. Xu Hanyi is also known as the most promising person to achieve the immortal realm in the past thousand years on the continent." As if she couldn't stand Lin Chuan being ridiculed, a woman in yellow took the initiative to explain to Lin Chuan.

"So, she is very powerful?" Lin Chuan immediately turned into a curious baby.

"Nonsense, Master Xu Feng is not only one of the best in the entire continent, but also very beautiful. The only difference is that she has a cold personality. If I can become her disciple, my life will be worth it (*≧▽≦)." An ordinary young man took over the conversation directly, explaining to Lin Chuan with a silly smile on his face.

"My dear, please stop drooling and laugh like a fool. Master Xu Feng and his people only have one disciple, and she's a woman. You'd better give up on this idea." said a passerby who couldn't stand it any longer.

Lin Chuan didn't care about their subsequent conversation. He only remembered one thing: Xu Hanyi was one of the strongest people in the entire continent.

"Isn't this a perfect template for a big boss? If I can pass the test, I will definitely take Master Xu Feng as my teacher. Not for anything else, just because I want to improve so much." Lin Chuan thought secretly.

"Let's start climbing the ladder now." Following the announcement of an elder, a dense crowd began to flock to the ladder.

"Mei Limao, climb the 5th step, eliminated." As a loud voice sounded, Mei Limao's body slowly floated up and drifted out of the holy land.

"There are 99 steps in total on the ladder. In the process of climbing, you will encounter various inner demons and illusions. Those who reach 70 steps can enter the next link. Otherwise, go back to where you came from. The Qingluan Holy Land does not need people with bad character." Another loud voice sounded.

"Ji Taimei, climbed the 69th step, eliminated!!!" This person was the same young man with the silly smile on his face in the square. He was seen floating up and, like the others before him, drifting towards the outside of the holy land.

"Mei Shuzhi, climbed 55 steps, eliminated!!!" The strong man who had mocked Lin Chuan before was also eliminated.

……

As the announcements continued, the number of people on the ladder decreased, and soon there were less than one-tenth of the original number left.

The remaining people naturally passed the first test.

"Huang Ningbing, you have climbed 90 steps and passed!!!" This woman was the one who had just cleared up Lin Chuan's doubts.

"Qiuzhi, climbed the 94th step, passed!!!"

"Chen Chong, climbed 92 steps, passed!!!"

……

"Lin Chuan, climbed the 99th step and passed!!!"

???

The elders and the Holy Lord present were all shocked, and even Xu Hanyi couldn't help but look at him.

"This kid has such a good heart! When was the last time he climbed to the ninety-ninth step? I think it was Senior Sister Xu a thousand years ago. Well, well, the sect has picked up a treasure again this time. If this kid has good aptitude, I will accept him as my personal disciple. Senior Sister Xu, please don't compete with me for him then." Li Jun quickly sent a message to Xu Hanyi, fearing that Xu Hanyi would be thinking of taking him in as a disciple.

Xu Hanyi withdrew his gaze and replied to Li Jun with two words indifferently: "Whatever."

Li Jun was overjoyed. With Sister Xu's words, it seemed that the matter of accepting him as a disciple was a sure thing.

Lin Chuan didn't know what had happened. He only remembered that he was climbing a ladder to heaven. The higher he went and the farther he walked, the better his character was. However, Lin Chuan felt that this was just like climbing ordinary stairs. It was just a little tiring, and he didn't have any inner demons or illusions.

So he walked and walked, with no obstacles along the way, and finally he reached the end.

Am I really a fucking genius?

……

"Now we begin the next stage, the qualification test!" As an elder announced, the people who had just finished the test of the ladder returned to the square.

In the center of the square, a crystal ball floats quietly on a pedestal.

"Those whose names are called, place your hands on the crystal ball. He will measure your spiritual roots. Spiritual roots are divided into four levels: heaven, earth, black, and yellow. Yellow is the lowest and heaven is the best."

"Li Gui, a Xuan-grade spiritual root, enters the outer sect."

"Thank you, Elder." A burly, dark-skinned young man hurriedly expressed his gratitude.

"Huang Ningbing, earth-grade spiritual root, enters the inner sect."

"Thank you, Elder." Huang Ningbing said happily.

……

As the tests were completed one by one, some were happy while others were worried. However, even the weakest Yellow-grade spiritual root disciple was made a menial disciple. After all, those who made it to the second stage were generally of good character, so what if someone was a late bloomer?

"Lin Chuan, heavenly spiritual roots, enter... wait!" With a flash of dazzling white light, the crystal ball cracked.

众高层：∑(?7?5?2?6д?7?5?2?6lll)

"This? Could this be? An immortal spiritual root?"

After saying that, Sect Leader Li Jun rummaged through his sleeves, and with a faint flash of light, a huge stone pillar stood tall in the center of the square.

"Boy, put your hand on it and feel it carefully."

As Lin Chuan slowly placed his hand on the stone pillar, a bright golden light shot straight into the sky, and golden dragons circled above Lin Chuan's head.

"It's actually an anomaly. Could it be that this kid has some special physique?" Li Jun thought secretly.

"Boy, do you feel that you are different from others?" Li Jun asked

Different? Does it count if I'm a time traveler? Lin Chuan thought secretly.

"My Lord, if there's any difference, I didn't encounter any inner demons or illusions when I climbed the ladder to heaven. It was as if the ladder to heaven was just an ordinary staircase to me."

"Without inner demons, and unaffected by illusions, could this be the legendary Immortal Body?"

This immortal body was truly remarkable. While others who absorbed spiritual energy for cultivation had to take elixirs to purge impurities afterward, or directly absorb the pure spiritual energy from spirit stones, the Immortal Body could automatically purge impurities, naturally resulting in faster cultivation efficiency. Furthermore, it had various other advantages. Li Jun had also seen this physique in the sect's ancient texts.

Good, good, I really have a good eye for talent. With me, Li Jun, here in the Holy Land, it deserves to prosper.

"Lin Chuan, right? Ahem, are you willing to take me as your master?" Li Jun said calmly.

"I don't want to."

"Well, okay... eh? You said you don't want to?"

"Disciple wishes to take Elder Xu of Tianjian Peak as his teacher."
