Traveling through time to cultivate immortality: a life and death test

Elder Su glanced at the supplies that filled half the cave and was astonished. The total value of this collection was already comparable to his own. This disciple of his was truly remarkable, blessed with great fortune.

"Xing'er, these things of yours are only effective for Jindan cultivators. They are of no help to me at all. Please put them all away. You are kind-hearted, but even the gods can't help me in my current situation." Elder Su said kindly to Liu Xing.

Liu Xing had no choice but to put it away, but he felt extremely heavy-hearted.

"Xing'er, I heard that you and Nangong Yan's senior disciple Nie Xiaoqian are in love with each other. I see that you are both quite old. How about I help you propose marriage?" Elder Su saw that his disciple looked depressed, so he tried every means to divert his attention.

"That's great! With the master proposing marriage and marrying her in a formal way, I can finally give Xiaoqian an explanation." Liu Xing replied happily. He had planned to talk to Uncle Nangong himself and marry Nie Xiaoqian in a simple way. People who practice cultivation don't need so many etiquette and details.

On second thought, since his master had offered to help him propose marriage, why not hold a lively wedding? This would not only make Xiaoqian feel happier, but also give his master some joy in his remaining years. In his past life, he had witnessed many weddings and served as best man for a classmate. The full sense of ceremony always brought the bride to tears of happiness.

The next day, Elder Su brought Liu Xing to Nangong Yan's cave, which made Nangong Yan flattered.

"Senior Brother Su, you haven't been to my humble abode for hundreds of years. Your presence makes my humble home bright and glorious." Nangong Yan hurriedly welcomed the master and disciple into the cave, and said nervously.

"Junior Sister Nangong, don't panic. I wouldn't come here for no reason. I'm here today to do good things for our disciple." Elder Su said straight to the point.

"Greetings, Uncle Su!"

"Greetings to Uncle Nangong!"

Nie Xiaoqian and Liu Xing also paid their respects to their elders at the appropriate time. Liu Xing had already informed her about the purpose of their visit, so she was very happy and looking forward to it.

"Miss Nie is both beautiful and intelligent, truly a rare talent. I happen to have a bottle of Phoenix Marrow Replenishing Pill that could save you ten years of hard training, as well as a fairly powerful ancient Fiery Red Silk treasure. I'm giving them to you as a welcome gift from my uncle-master," Su Xingchen said to Nie Xiaoqian with a smile, stroking his beard. With his supreme magical powers as a great cultivator, he could immediately recognize Nie Xiaoqian's exceptional talent and was extremely pleased with her appearance and character.

A bottle of ancient medicinal pills and a red silk treasure imbued with powerful fire spirit energy floated quietly before her. Nie Xiaoqian was momentarily unsure what to do. The gift was so precious. Even Liu Xing was envious, considering his master had never given him any medicinal pills or treasures in all those years.

"Qian'er, why don't you thank your uncle?" Nangong Yan saw Nie Xiaoqian at a loss and quickly reminded her.

"Thank you for the generous gift, uncle. I would not be able to refuse it, so I will serve you at your service to repay your kindness." Nie Xiaoqian knelt down to express her gratitude after being reminded by her master.

"Miss Nie, please get up quickly. These are all external things." Elder Su did not see any movement, but Nie Xiaoqian was gently lifted up just as she was about to kneel down. No matter how hard she tried, it was of no avail. The magic power of a great cultivator in the late Nascent Soul stage was truly unfathomable.

She accepted the gift happily and was very happy.

"Junior Sister Nangong is truly a person who practices hard. Even after breaking through the Nascent Soul stage, she still lives in seclusion. This cave has not changed much from hundreds of years ago. There is still a green lamp, a cushion, and she is alone." Elder Su looked around and sighed.

"How can my level of cultivation compare with yours, senior brother? I would appreciate your guidance." Nangong Yan was naturally respectful in front of the Great Elder.

"I have a set of cultivation experience for breaking through the late Nascent Soul stage. I'm giving it to you for reference. I hope it can help you make further progress!" After Elder Su finished speaking, he took out a jade slip that he had prepared long ago and handed it to Nangong Yan.

"Thank you for your advice, senior brother." Nangong Yan was surprised and delighted, and carefully took it with both hands.

"Xing'er and Qian'er have known each other since childhood and have deep feelings for each other. Now they meet again after a long separation and have already decided to spend their lives together. I want to match them up as husband and wife so that they can support each other and ascend to the Immortal Pavilion together in the future. What do you think, Junior Sister?" Seeing that the groundwork had been laid and the gifts had been given, Elder Su finally stated his purpose of proposing marriage.

"It's up to you, senior brother." Nangong Yan had already guessed the purpose of her senior brother's visit. When she accepted Nie Xiaoqian as her disciple, she saw the true feelings between her and Liu Xing. Naturally, she fully supported them at this time and would not do such a stupid thing as breaking up a couple.

With the support of the two masters, Liu Xing and Nie Xiaoqian finally felt relieved. They didn't know when they were standing together hand in hand, and now they smiled at each other, happy and sweet.

Since we were going to do it, we had to do it with great fanfare! With the strong support of Elders Su Xingchen and Nangong Yan, they quickly gained the support of the Elders Council and the sect's top brass. The sect had earned a vast amount of spirit stones in recent decades, becoming incredibly wealthy. The Elders Council unanimously agreed to allocate 50 million spirit stones directly for this grand ceremony!

The induction ceremony of the headmaster was held at the same time as the headmaster's wedding ceremony! Originally planned to be held in one month, the induction ceremony was postponed to six months later because more time was needed for preparation and many guests from far away needed more time to travel.

The massive Qianji Sect was operating at high speed! Holding a grand ceremony was a testament to the administrators' organizational and coordination abilities, social influence, and financial strength.

A large number of experts were asked to come out, and a large number of military operations were suddenly launched, either through coercion and inducement, or bloody suppression, to nip all possible dangers in the bud and prevent any trouble during the ceremony.

A large number of personnel were mobilized, and invitations were sent out in large numbers. Besides the aristocratic clans, even the reclusive masters of the deep mountains and desolate swamps, and the demonic forces of the deep seas and oceans received invitations. Su Xingchen went to great lengths to build momentum for his disciple and help him expand his personal influence.

To attract more cultivators, Elder Su personally lectured for ten days, constructing a platform a hundred feet high. Through the effects of prohibitions, the sound could be heard a hundred thousand miles away, loud enough for everyone to sit and listen. Hearing the teachings of a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator in person was enough to benefit them for a lifetime, and nearby cultivators flocked to the platform.

At the same time, Qianji Bank, in conjunction with all merchants, held one Nascent Soul auction, three Core Formation auctions, ten Foundation Establishment auctions, and a hundred Qi Training auctions! Numerous precious treasures were shipped in from around the world. Merchants were eager to make a killing, and cultivators scrambled to get their hands on the items they needed.

The Qianji Sect embarked on a massive construction project, constructing numerous fortifications and setting up forbidden formations with the lecture platform as the center. At the same time, they also built a large number of temporary inns to accommodate monks from all over the world.
