Junior Uncle is too cunning.

Xian'er, Lu Ling'er, and the others followed Lu Tian to an open space where many people were already waiting. Later, some people led groups of young men and women over.

Chen Fusheng stood on the stage for a moment, then asked somewhat boredly, "Senior Brother, it seems like there are quite a few more people this year than in previous years?"

"It's like you were here in previous years. After all, this is a large-scale recruitment event that our Lingbao Sect only holds once every two hundred years. In addition, the human race's fortune has been much stronger recently, and many geniuses have emerged, so we recruited more people. Those recruited in the past are just incidental, like the one you were recruited that time," Dao Lin added with lingering interest.

Chen Fusheng gave Dao Lin an unfriendly look. "Have I become kinder lately, or have I lost my ability to wield a knife? Why are you dragging me into this?"

Dao Lin immediately sensed Chen Fusheng's murderous aura. Although this amount of murderous aura was nothing to him, he was still worried that his junior brother would have a lot of dirt on him, and if he were to expose it...

Respecting the elderly and caring for the young are virtues. As a kind-hearted person and the eldest disciple of the sect leader, it is Dao Lin's responsibility to care for the young. "Junior brother, you know that's not what I meant. Think about it. If you weren't outstanding, how could you have caught Master's eye? Besides, when it comes to the Nine Immortals of Yuanyang Peak, who doesn't speak highly of them?"

"Hmph, you've passed, but you'll have to cover for me and plead for me later."

Upon hearing the request, Dao Lin chuckled for a moment, but then, remembering his junior brother's bizarre turn of joy into sorrow in the main hall, he knew his small body dared not get involved.

He immediately refused, saying, "Junior brother, please spare me. Everything else is negotiable, but this is something I really can't do. Even if you tell others about it, I won't do it. You should find something else to do."

Seeing Daolin's resigned expression, Chen Fusheng knew that it was hopeless to make his senior brother take the blame this time, so he could only agree to change the terms.

But this time was strange. The three methods of threatening illness, fainting, and hanging, which usually worked every time, didn't work this time. Although he had never tried hanging himself, he was also punished for not following the proper etiquette at the grand ceremony. Both crimes were punished at the same time. Thinking of this, Chen Fusheng wanted to draw a circle around Lingzi's head. He was too ruthless. If it weren't for the fact that the ceremony had already started and he was given a postponement, he probably would have been given wine on the spot and ordered to hang himself.

And my master didn't utter a single word! A teacher for a day is a father for life! Even tigers don't eat their cubs, this is truly inhumane! Alas, I'm completely unwanted; what am I going to do with my adorable little handsome boy? "Netizens, please help! Urgent!"

Dao Lin watched Chen Fusheng's ever-changing facial expressions and quietly took a few steps back. His junior brother was too bewitching. What kind of technique was this? Did Master secretly pass it on to him? Lingyu Zhenren was innocently burdened with a huge accusation.

……

Lu Dashan and Fang Dong flew over from below and bowed to Dao Lin, "Senior Brother Dao Lin, Junior Brother, everyone has arrived. Do you think we should start now?"

Dao Lin quickly composed himself, nudged Chen Fusheng, looked around, and asked, "Junior Brother Lu, Junior Brother Fang, have all the elders and deacons of the various peaks arrived?"

"Already in place."

"Okay, let's get started!"

Lu Dashan and Fang Dong nodded to Chen Fusheng and his companion, then went down to join the other peaks in preparations.

Dao Lin looked at Chen Fusheng, his expression becoming more serious. "Junior brother, although you joined the sect late, you are of a high seniority. You are a bit lazy usually, and no one dares to say anything. However, since Master has asked you to preside over the initiation ceremony, I must let you know today that as the sect leader's disciple, in addition to the natural benefits, we are not without any responsibilities. On the contrary, you must give more in order not to make Master lose face. And the initiation ceremony is something that we, as the sect leader's disciples, must do."

Chen Fusheng straightened his face, realizing that his good days were over. There are gains and losses. Just like the daughters of wealthy families, who are born with the best food, drink and daily necessities, but their purpose is only for marriage alliances. Imagining the scene, Chen Fusheng shuddered. It seemed that his situation had improved quite a bit. He nodded seriously to Dao Lin, "Senior brother, I understand."

Dao Lin noticed Chen Fusheng's strange expression, but he could tell his junior brother understood. His expression softened, and he slowly said, "Your main task this time is to observe carefully, see what the other brothers are doing, and why they are doing it. The most important thing is..."

Dao Lin gestured downwards and transmitted his voice, saying, "Junior brother, you must understand that watching what they do doesn't mean you have to do it yourself. It means you have to manage and arrange things. As the sect leader's disciple, a direct descendant of the Lingbao Sect, and a member of the Chan Sect, you must learn to use people. Although we are from the same sect, there will always be some differences in status. You must do what you are supposed to do in your position. Only in this way can the Lingbao Sect continue to grow stronger. Junior brother, you must keep this in mind."

Chen Fusheng nodded silently. Although the Lingbao Sect inherited the Dao from the Grand Master Lingbao and was backed by the Heavenly Dao master Yuanshi Tianzun, the Chan Sect had as many as twelve direct disciples. This did not include Yuanshi Tianzun's nominal disciples, and the Grand Master Lingbao was only one of them. Moreover, according to later records, there was very little description of this ancestor. He only appeared once in the Investiture of the Gods, where he was eliminated by Yunxiao's Hunyuan Golden Cauldron in the Nine Turns Yellow River Formation, turning him into a mortal.

Whether the Lingbao Sect is truly an enterprise under the name of the Grand Master Lingbao remains to be investigated. After decades of observation, listening, and investigation, he learned that the founder of the Lingbao Sect must have heard some of the teachings of the Grand Master Lingbao and gained some insights. Later, he and several senior elders from the sect came to Yuanyang Peak and established the Lingbao Sect together.

Although Lingbao Sect is generally peaceful, there are constant rivalries between its various peaks. As the sect leader's disciple, even with the protection of True Person Lingyu, he still doesn't feel very safe. Otherwise, he wouldn't only have four senior brothers and sisters now, and he's the ninth! It seems he should hurry up with his third plan.

……

Xian'er and Lu Ling'er stood in the queue, moving forward step by step until they could finally see the front of them. There, they saw an old man with a full head of white hair wearing a Taoist robe and a long gown, who was resting with his eyes closed. In front of him, two senior brothers were each holding an object and kept saying, "Upper Grade Three, Fire Vein".

Finally, it was Lu Ling'er's turn. Only then could she see the two objects clearly. The young man on the left was holding a bronze mirror, and the young man on the right was holding a pen and a thick book, writing continuously.

The young man in the bronze mirror recognized Lu Ling'er immediately. After all, Lu Tian had treated him to a whole bottle of Erguotou yesterday, which made him memorize Lu Ling'er's appearance for a long time. As a good young man who had to do favors for others, he had to keep his word, otherwise it would be difficult to do business in the future. He had heard this principle from his junior uncle and had always kept it as his motto.

"You must be Junior Sister Ling'er?" the young man in the bronze mirror asked with his most professional smile.

Lu Ling'er was taken aback for a moment, then looked at the other person carefully. "I don't think I know you."

The young man in the bronze mirror paused for a moment, then immediately put on a professional smile. “I am your brother’s senior brother. You can call me Senior Brother Liu.” He pointed to the bronze mirror and said, “This is a pulse-testing mirror. It is mainly used to detect spiritual veins. In a moment, you can put your hand on the bronze mirror, close your eyes, and meditate.”

When Lu Ling'er heard that it was her brother's senior brother, she felt relieved and followed Senior Brother Liu's instructions. She slowly placed her hand on the bronze mirror and closed her eyes. Senior Brother Liu then made a hand seal on the bronze mirror, and suddenly flames shot into the sky more than a hundred feet high.

Dao Lin and Chen Fusheng exchanged a glance. "Mysterious Immortal Seed," they flew down quickly. Senior Brother Liu was also a little confused. At this moment, the old Taoist who had been resting with his eyes closed opened his eyes and stood up. Just as he was about to speak, Dao Lin and Chen Fusheng flew over. Not only the two of them, but Lu Dashan and others also flew over. It was really rare to find a spiritual vein of the "Mysterious Immortal" level.

Although we are now in the primordial era, with abundant spiritual energy, and the human race, created by the sage Nuwa and blessed by the fortunes of several other sages, is still a rare species. It is said that even the direct disciples who worship under the tutelage of the Primordial Heavenly Venerable only have spiritual veins at the "Great Luo" level. Now that one has appeared in the Lingbao Sect, it means that the ticket to becoming a Xuanxian has been obtained.

Looking at Lu Ling'er, who was still in a daze, Lu Dashan found her more and more pleasing to the eye. Dao Lin, seeing more and more fellow disciples, frowned and said, "This is getting a bit complicated." He glanced at Chen Fusheng, who understood.

He coughed softly, bowed to those around him, and slowly said, "Senior brothers and sisters, please don't be in a hurry. May I speak first? The initiation ceremony is not over yet. Let's not disrupt the order and frighten the children, that wouldn't be good."

"Please return to your original positions. As for how to arrange things for this junior disciple, Senior Brother Daolin and I will ask the sect leader to make the decision personally."

Although everyone was unwilling, Chen Fusheng's words made sense, so they slowly walked away. Lu Dashan walked over, patted Lu Ling'er's head, and said with satisfaction, "Not bad!"

A hint of doubt flashed in Chen Fusheng's eyes, and he asked directly, "Does Senior Brother Lu know her?" He pointed to Lu Ling'er as he spoke.

"Yes, he is a junior member of my Lu family. I must thank you for your guidance, Junior Brother!" Lu Dashan replied happily.

At this moment, Lu Ling'er also came to her senses and called out to Lu Dashan in a soft voice, "Grand Ancestor".

When the other fellow disciples heard that Lu Ling'er was Lu Dashan's junior, they all shook their heads with regret, congratulated Lu Dashan, and then left.

Dao Lin and his fellow disciples Chen Fusheng exchanged a glance, both sensing a predicament. Knowing this wasn't the time to talk, Chen Fusheng gestured to Senior Brother Liu, "You two continue. Don't bother writing down this child's name. I'll report to the sect leader myself." The young man with the pen and Senior Brother Liu nodded simultaneously, regained their composure, and called out, "Next."

It was Xian'er's turn. When Lu Ling'er saw Xian'er, she stopped and looked at Chen Fusheng and the other person with pleading in her eyes. Since it was just one person, it didn't take long for the two of them to look at Xian'er. Chen Fusheng looked at Xian'er and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. She was so young and had such a beautiful appearance. If he hadn't been bombarded with photoshopped beauties in his previous life, he wouldn't have been able to come to his senses so quickly.

Looking at Chen Fusheng and his companion beside him, Senior Brother Liu felt immense pressure. Although he was happy to see his idol, Junior Uncle, standing next to him, he always believed it was best to admire idols from afar. Getting too close would easily give him away. He had drunk too much the night before and woke up too late this morning, so he hadn't brushed his teeth in his haste, leaving a strong taste of Erguotou in his mouth. If he were discovered…

After Senior Brother Liu nervously finished explaining the rules, Xian'er nodded coldly, closed her eyes, and reached out her hand. The water in the mirror rose into the sky, making her appear even taller than Lu Ling'er had been.

A look of surprise flashed in Chen Fusheng's and Chen Fusheng's eyes. Chen Fusheng was even a little scared with joy. "Geniuses are emerging frequently. Could it be that the Investiture of the Gods has been brought forward?"

Senior Brother Liu was trembling at this moment, looking at the bronze mirror in his hand, "Could it be that I'm not activating it correctly?"

Lu Ling'er was overjoyed, Xian'er remained indifferent, and several more beams of light flew in from afar...
