Under One Person: My comprehension is unmatched.

Liao Huzi begged and pleaded until he finally managed to send Guan Shihua's spirit back.

But the Bai family has more than one branch. After the immortals returned, they immediately sent people over. Oh, they sent immortals over.

Now, all five shamanic families that had come forward were present.

All these immortals gathered in this small room, and Zhang Yan, who had put his mind at ease, felt that something was quite wrong.

It felt like there were many things watching him, and although they meant no harm, they made him very uncomfortable.

Guan Shihua and the other person watched this scene with extreme tension.

They all knew that no matter how strong Zhang Yan's life was, he couldn't bear the burden of all the immortals.

If Zhang Yan were to take on the responsibilities of all five families' branches, that kid would surely die young.

But none of the immortals left; they all transformed into wisps of smoke, rushing towards Zhang Yan's various acupoints.

Call ~

A sudden gust of wind swept through the small room.

At that moment, Zhang Yan felt like his head was about to explode, and all sorts of sounds flooded into his mind.

Almost without any distinction between them, all the immortals entered Zhang Yan's acupoints, trying their best to get Zhang Yan to accept their shrine.

There were just too many; Zhang Yan couldn't possibly take them all in.

"Fellow immortals, if this continues, this boy will not be able to take it."

Upon seeing this, Liao Huzi panicked and, no longer caring about offending anyone, immediately spoke up to remind him.

Woo~

As soon as he finished speaking, a member of one of the gangs withdrew from Zhang Yan's acupoints, but did not leave. They probably wanted to see which gang had gotten the coveted prize.

With that immortal family gone, the competition among the remaining immortal families intensified, as they all poured their own methods into Zhang Yan's teachings.

At this moment, Zhang Yan calmed down, and the pain on his face gradually faded.

Liao Huzi's eyes widened at the sight, and Guan Shihua stood there dumbfounded as well, both of them having the same thought in their minds.

Could Zhang Yan really have memorized the names of the four immortal families' shrines?

The immortal who had just left Zhang Yan's acupoint saw that Zhang Yan had stabilized and re-entered Zhang Yan's acupoint.

"Grandpa Liao, what... what's going on?"

Guan Shihua was stunned; what kind of operation was it to leave and then return?

Liao Huzi was also stunned by this move. After thinking for a while, he carefully analyzed it for Guan Shihua.

"Well, these immortals won't deliberately harm people. It seems that Zhang Yan can really carry the burden of all the immortals."

Guan Shihua still couldn't believe it, and she spoke up.

"Does that mean that from now on, when he offers incense, he will have to do it five times?"

"Um, I think that's how it is."

Liao Huzi was momentarily speechless at Hu Niu's thought process, and then he responded.

Is now the time to worry about how many times incense is offered? The focus should be on Zhang Yan's future influence within the Chuma family.

Before this, there had never been a shamanic disciple like Zhang Yan. This kind of thing will definitely become a legend in the shamanic community.

No, this matter absolutely cannot be revealed before all the immortals have fully accepted Zhang Yan.

Just as Liao Huzi was lost in thought, Guan Shihua spoke up again.

"Grandpa Liao, Brother Zhang... Brother Zhang is going to fail."

"what?"

Liao Huzi put aside his thoughts and focused his gaze on Zhang Yan again.

Smoke faintly emanated from the acupoints all over his body, a sign that the immortals felt he was unsuitable.

Call ~

One of the immortals emerged from Zhang Yan's acupoint, its blurry form flickering.

Liao Huzi's joy diminished slightly, and he comforted himself.

It's alright. Even if one family is missing, Zhang Yan is still one of the top figures in the Ma family.

Huhu~

Two more immortals broke free from Zhang Yan's acupoints and returned to the hall.

Liao Huzi's joy vanished. He glanced at the incense Zhang Yan had offered, which was still only half-lit.

Once the incense burns out, Zhang Yan will be able to earn a living and become a disciple of the Chuma family; there is still hope.

In Zhang Yan's mind, he silently accepted the methods taught by the various immortals, some of which were fleeting and he did not deliberately pursue them.

Most of these methods require the spirit to possess the body in order to be effective; once the spirit leaves, they become useless.

Zhang Yan didn't care at the time and wrote down everything he could get his hands on.

The other self, detached from its true self, silently observes everything, watching Zhang Yan's pain and his calmness.

But just as the five immortals had all settled into their respective acupoints, he shifted his gaze from Zhang Yan for the first time and looked at the various immortals.

With that single glance, all the immortals immediately felt that gaze upon them.

That gaze wasn't malicious, but after a long time, it seemed to see right through them, leaving them with no secrets.

Under that gaze, three immortal beings immediately left their bodies, without lingering any longer.

The other two families, after lingering under that gaze for a while, couldn't bear it any longer and eventually left as well.

Huhu~

The five immortals gathered again in the hall. Their faint, ethereal figures swirled, as if gazing at each other, before finally turning into smoke and disappearing.

The incense that Zhang Yan offered, with about a third still remaining, went out the moment they left.

When Liao Huzi saw the incense burn out, his heart sank to the bottom. Zhang Yan's hope of becoming a shamanic disciple was completely shattered.

But the back-and-forth maneuvering by the immortals left Liao Huzi completely baffled, leaving Zhang Yan, the person directly involved, to explain.

Zhang Yan sat cross-legged on the ground with his eyes closed, and no trace of Qi flowed around his body.

His rosy complexion told Liao Huzi and the other man that the immortal's departure had not caused him any harm.

About fifteen minutes later, Zhang Yan slowly opened his eyes.

His pupils changed five shapes and colors in an instant before finally returning to their original state.

He slowly rose, and under the watchful eyes of Liao Huzi and Guan Shihua, picked up an incense stick and offered it with a special gesture.

Liao Huzi was shocked when he saw it. Wasn't this the Hu family's method of burning incense? How did he suddenly learn it?

All five immortal families felt he was unsuitable and have already left. Is there some hidden reason?

After Zhang Yan lit the first incense stick, he took out another incense stick and offered it with a different technique, this time the Huang family's technique.

Then came the Bai family, the Liu family, and the Hui family, until all five incense sticks were offered, at which point Zhang Yan bowed and spoke.

"Thank you all for your guidance, immortals."

As soon as these words were spoken, the five incense sticks burned halfway down, signifying acceptance of Zhang Yan's gratitude.

Guan Shihua saw this scene from the side, and Nan Nan spoke up.

"So we really have to offer incense five times..."

Zhang Yan was unaffected by Hu Niu's interruption and bowed again before speaking.

"It is truly a regret of this humble one that I cannot cultivate the Great Dao together with you immortals."

puff~

The five incense sticks all went out at once, indicating that they were not familiar with this young man and did not want his offerings.
