Beauty helps me achieve immortality

Nearing the hour of Si, the rain finally stopped. A ray of sunlight penetrated the clouds, illuminating everything.

"Husband, everything is packed."

Wang Shuyue said as she fixed her hair and earrings in front of the bronze mirror.

She put on Zhao Qing's clothes. The light blue robe that was washed to a pale color could not hide her exquisite curves. She had some powder on her eyebrows and eyes, but she did not look vulgar at all. Instead, she looked a little more charming.

After Zhao Qing checked again that the courtyard gate was locked, he took his wife out of the stove house and went to the sect square to join in the fun.

Soon, they met many menial disciples, among whom there were some familiar people, so they joined the crowd and walked together.

"I don't know how many people will be able to directly become outer disciples this year."

"Outer sect? I remember there were only three or five last year, right? Don't talk nonsense. It would be great if we could get more female cultivators for our Spiritual Mine Workshop."

"Damn it! I was tricked into going mining. They said there was oil and water. It was complete nonsense! I stayed in the mine for over half a month and didn't even see a woman."

"Guys, how about going out and relaxing tonight? I recently found a great place, it's very lively and has a lot of fun!"

Zhao Qing and his wife listened to the obscene words, looked at each other, and listened silently.

"The Spiritual Mine Shop is already pretty good! Look at our Alchemy Herb Shop. Everyone is responsible for the spiritual plants. If the plants don't grow well, the person responsible will be punished! So do we, the menial workers, have the final say on whether the spiritual herbs grow well?"

"Anyway, I might get called out and beaten up one day..."

A burly monk sneered, "You have quite a few women in Dancaofang, much better than us. I've heard that at night, Dancaofang is full of people playing mahjong."

The two sides were clearly divided, and they were arguing with each other, trying their best to show how miserable they were.

Occasionally someone would steal a glance at Wang Shuyue, but after discovering that she was a mortal, they would quickly ignore her.

"Hey? Brother, you are from Dancaofang, right? You look unfamiliar." The strong man greeted Zhao Qing.

Zhao Qing: ...

"Senior brother, I'm from Huo Zao Fang."

Everyone looked at each other awkwardly and tacitly stopped discussing this topic.

Near the square, it was already crowded with people.

Countless servants wearing their own special lavender robes stood on both sides of the stone steps, watching the ceremony.

As soon as Zhao Qing and others arrived here, they saw a senior brother wearing outer disciple clothes walking straight towards them, which made them a little nervous.

The senior brother was quite old and wrinkles were already visible on his face. When he smiled, his big yellow teeth were exposed.

"Are you from our Danxia Sect?"

He finally walked up to Wang Shuyue and asked.

The girl was a little nervous and looked at her husband.

Zhao Qing didn't understand what was going on, so he smiled and said, "Brother, this is my first wife."

The outer sect brother immediately beamed, "That's right, the family members are also ours. Quick! Come forward!"

He pointed to the steps of the square, where newcomers came from time to time to participate in the Ascension Ceremony.

Seeing this, everyone understood.

There are naturally many beautiful women in the Danxia Sect, but not all of them like to join in the fun. At this time, the more beautiful ones, the better.

The girl looked at her husband. Zhao Qing thought for a moment and said, "Go ahead. I'll go with you."

We're just watching anyway, so it doesn't matter where you stand. You can see more clearly if you stand closer.

The errand disciples around them had already noticed their situation and started to jokingly say, "Come on, come on, squeeze forward. Don't be afraid, sister-in-law. We'll all go over."

Seeing this, Wang Shuyue was not so nervous anymore.

"We are lucky. I've never been this close before, except for the first time."

"Nonsense, who isn't at the front the first time?"

"Brother, you are so lucky. Your sister-in-law is so beautiful. Look at them, those little bastards are secretly looking at your sister-in-law." A young person who likes to stir up trouble joked.

Zhao Qing smiled and said nothing, but felt a little proud in his heart.

But soon, everyone's attention was attracted by the young men and women who had just arrived to take the test.

The voices of the sect deacons could be heard from the square from time to time, amplified by the spirit formation and spreading far away.

"Li Hu, peak Xiantian, mid-grade earth spirit root, can report to Dancaofang!"

"Sun Pengfei, Qi Refining Level 1, dual-element mixed spiritual roots, gold spiritual roots are mid-grade, earth spiritual roots are low-grade. You can report to the Spirit Mine!"

The deacon's voice echoed in a radius of dozens of miles. The Danxia Sect had three purposes for doing this.

The first was to give the many disciples who were watching the ceremony a preliminary impression, and the second was to notify the managers of each miscellaneous workshop to come and pick up the people.

The third point is the most important, which is to inform the outside world how many people our Danxia Sect has accepted this year. Even ordinary people will be envious when they hear it, and it will be a great honor for the disciples' families to hear it.

Zhao Qing glanced around casually and caught a glimpse of Wang Teng from afar. The other party also glanced at him, but quickly glanced away without any communication.

"Look! This is really good, very powerful!"

There was a slight noise in the crowd. Everyone looked in the direction of the sound, but their eyes suddenly became unable to move.

I saw a female cultivator walking up the stairs. She was wearing a beige silk shirt with embroidery patterns on the upper body and a light pink and blue embroidered long skirt on the lower body. A sachet was hung around her waist, swaying with her body.

She has curved eyebrows and plump cheeks, and is outstanding and graceful.

The most important thing is her temperament that is hard to ignore. Even though she has a smile on her lips, she makes people feel cold, as if she is keeping people away from her.

"That's great! It would be great if this could come to our Spirit Mine!"

"Junior sister! You are a natural talent and will definitely be able to join the Danxia Sect. Remember to come to our Spirit Mine! I will protect you when you get there! My name is Zhang Qiuyang!"

Someone in the crowd shouted, attracting everyone's attention.

Zhao Qing silently pulled Wang Shuyue behind him.

The aloof female cultivator stopped and saluted the patient who introduced himself as a social worker. She opened her red lips slightly and said, "Thank you, Senior Brother Zhang. I'll keep this in mind."

The male cultivator from the Ling Mine laughed loudly, even to the point of twitching with excitement. Zhao Qing silently took another step back to avoid being infected.

But that woman is really good-looking and tall. In her previous life, she would definitely be considered a superstar-level elegant lady.

Even Wang Shuyue whispered, "She is so beautiful, but a little too cold."

Zhao Qing nodded slightly, agreeing deeply. A woman who could make other women compliment her looks was truly extraordinary.

More than half an hour later, a cry of surprise was heard from the crowd, followed by the deacon's voice.

"Lü Zheng, peak Xiantian, top-grade fire spirit root, red spirit body! Can enter the outer sect!"

There was an uproar in the square.

Going out!

The first outer disciple of this year was born!

"You're only at the Xiantian realm, and you've already entered the outer sect before even entering the Qi Refining stage?"

"The Red Spirit Body! I don't know how old he is..." A female cultivator whispered.

Everyone discussed it for a while, and Zhao Qing also expressed his feelings a few words.

This is the talent gap, an insurmountable chasm. As long as one's qualifications are good enough, one can directly join the outer sect without having to reach the late stage of Qi Refining.

As for these menial disciples, they were just there to join in the fun, take a look, walk around, complain and sigh, get to know the new disciples, and seek psychological comfort.

Zhao Qing recalled the past. When he was studying at a fake university in his previous life, he liked to follow his roommates to watch the campus recruitment and freshman entrance ceremony of the famous university next door, although it had nothing to do with them.

Suddenly, a biting chill spread, the sky seemed to be a little gloomy, and there was a commotion in the center of the square, as if the pot had exploded.

Everyone stared at the stone tablet for testing spiritual roots.

"Excellent!"

"Top-grade water spirit root!"

After a period of confusion among the crowd, the deacon's voice finally reached them. He did not announce the names or spiritual roots, but only two words: "Silence!"

Someone with good eyesight saw the female cultivator being tested and immediately exclaimed, "Qiu Yang! Qiu Yang, it's that Junior Sister from before!"

Zhang Qiuyang had a complicated expression on his face, and slapped the man on the head: "I'm not blind! Stop shouting! Stop shouting!"

Zhao Qing narrowed his eyes and remained silent.

It turned out to be a top-grade spiritual root. If he is not careful, he will be able to enter the inner sect directly and even become the legendary personal disciple.

Cultivating immortality is difficult, as the talent gap is too great. A person with a mid-grade spiritual root can enter the late stage of Qi Refining in ten years and thus be promoted to the outer sect. How long does it take for a person with a top-grade spiritual root to reach the late stage of Qi Refining?

Can't even think about it.

After a long while, an old voice rang out: "Zhou Xiaoyi, top-grade water spirit root, early stage of Qi Refining. Temporarily listed as an outer sect, and will be promoted to a personal disciple after building a foundation!"

There was an uproar in the room: "Personal teaching! Personal teaching! The Golden Core Elder has come forward!"

"Stop looking! Be careful or they'll take revenge on you!"

Zhao Qing was somewhat puzzled by what he heard. According to past experience, once you entered the outer gate, you were still the outer gate, and once you entered the inner gate, you were still the inner gate. How could you enter the outer gate temporarily?

He thought about it and decided that it had nothing to do with him anyway, so he didn't care.

"Shuyue, I remembered something important. Let's go back."

The girl looked back in confusion, then quickly realized what was happening. Her pretty face flushed red as she followed her husband out of the square in small, slow steps.

While watching the ceremony, Zhao Qing was filled with emotion. The Ascension Conference was indeed worthy of its reputation, but not many people could ascend to immortality. Only those with extremely exceptional talents could be considered to have taken the first step, separating immortals from mortals.

Zhao Qing was greatly stimulated and now wanted to go home, close the door and catch up on the progress.
