I can't keep a low profile when cultivating immortality; the sixth one is actually myself.

At this moment, Toyokawa was sitting in his study, engrossed in reading a book.

With less than a year to go before the imperial examination, even Fengchuan dared not be careless.

All the books that need to be read and the classics that need to be reviewed should be carefully reread.

The charm of reading lies in the idea that reviewing the old helps one understand the new.

Murong Ziling entered the Feng residence without alerting anyone.

They walked casually without disturbing anyone.

The girl, carrying a compass, wandered around for a while before finally arriving outside Toyokawa's study.

The compass needle pointed precisely into the study and remained steady.

Thus, Murong Ziling was certain that the person she was looking for was in the study.

So he simply pushed the door open and went in.

The first thing I saw was a boy of about eleven or twelve years old, engrossed in his book, completely unaware that someone had come in.

The girl did not immediately disturb the boy in front of her, but quietly observed him.

After a while.

Murong Ziling suddenly spoke up: "Little brother, how are you?"

The sudden noise startled Toyokawa, who was engrossed in his work.

"Huh? Who?" Toyokawa asked, suddenly standing up and scanning his surroundings.

He then saw a girl in a purple dress, who looked about fifteen or sixteen years old, standing not far away, looking him over.

"Who are you? How did you end up in my study?" The boy suppressed his panic and asked in a deep voice.

"Little brother, don't be nervous, I have no ill intentions in coming here."

I have only come here to find you at the request of my seniors.

"By the way, let me check your qualifications." The girl in the purple dress briefly explained her purpose for coming here.

“Master’s sect? Looking for me? Aptitude?” In an instant, Toyokawa extracted three keywords.

“But I don’t remember having any dealings with any faction,” Toyokawa said.

"Little brother, won't you invite me to sit down and chat?" the girl in the purple dress asked, seemingly oblivious to her surroundings and acting very familiar.

"If you weren't so decent-looking, I would have had you kicked out long ago!" Toyokawa muttered to himself.

He was internally cursing, but outwardly he was all smiles, and Toyokawa calmed down a bit.

He then said, "Miss, please sit down! If it's convenient, please take your time talking. I'm not in a hurry."

"Hehe, little brother is really interesting," the girl seemed to read Toyokawa's mind.

After sitting down, the girl in the purple dress didn't stand on ceremony and began to explain her purpose in detail.

"Indeed, you don't know my sect. Of course, you certainly don't know me either."

I am here to find you, following my master's instructions.

As for why I'm looking for you, that goes back nine years.

Nine years ago, our sect encountered a major crisis and urgently summoned our Master back to the sect.

At that time, Master was serving as an inspector in the mortal realm. Upon receiving an urgent summons from the sect, he hurriedly returned.

On the way, we passed through Qingxi County in Qinghua Prefecture. It was the night of the Awakening of Insects, and thunder rumbled in the sky.

When passing over Qingxi County, the master accidentally sensed a fluctuation in his soul.

Fearing that demonic cultivators might be lurking in the mortal realm, the master paused for a moment and investigated.

That's how we found you; you were just a three-year-old child at the time.

Once it was confirmed that the person was not a demonic cultivator, and the fluctuations in the soul came from a young child, the master put aside his doubts.

Because I was in a hurry to return to the sect, I didn't conduct a detailed investigation. So I transferred a wisp of spiritual energy into your body and rushed back to the sect.

Master originally planned to come and investigate in detail when he returned to the mortal realm after the sect's problems were resolved.

Unfortunately, after returning to the sect, Master was entangled in sect affairs and had no opportunity to leave the sect, which has delayed him until now.

Now that the Immortal Ascension Conference is about to take place, my master has sent me to the mortal realm to preside over the conference affairs in Dafeng.

"I also found you and investigated your situation. I will give a detailed report after I return to the sect."

The girl finished explaining in one breath, and her mouth was a little dry.

Seeing this, Toyokawa poured a cup of tea at just the right moment and handed it over with both hands.

Toyokawa: "Miss, please have some tea."

Murong Ziling took the tea, took a sip, and said, "Little brother, you have quite a good eye!"

Meanwhile, Toyokawa was groping himself, scratching and fidgeting, behaving strangely.

"What are you doing?" the girl asked, puzzled.

"Looking for the 'telepathy' you mentioned! This thing has been on me for nine years, and I didn't even notice it!"

"Will there be any long-term effects? Are you sure you're not lying to me?" Toyokawa asked doubtfully.

"Fool~, how could a mortal like you understand the methods of immortals?" The girl glared at Fengchuan in annoyance.

"I see. But by that question, how did you find me?" Toyokawa asked.

A compass appeared in the girl's hand with a flash of light.

"Use this to find it. As long as you enter the clue corresponding to the target, you can find the target through it."

Before I arrived, my master had already infused you with energy that shared the same origin as the energy within your body.

Toyokawa walked over, circled the compass, and stared at it for a long time, but ultimately couldn't figure it out.

Toyokawa: "By the way, what should I call you, elder sister? And what is your sect called?"

Girl: "Ah~, didn't I just say that?"

Toyokawa: "Did you say that? I didn't hear you."

Girl: "Okay, it's not important, don't worry about the details!"

My name is Murong Ziling, and my sect is called the Qingyun Sword Sect.

But when it comes to the world of cultivation, the little brother doesn't seem surprised at all?

Fengchuan: "Hello, Sister Ziling, my name is Fengchuan. I'm not entirely unsurprised by the world of cultivation."

Because I've read many books, and some of them have mentioned it only briefly.

Although most of it is ambiguous, there is still some understanding.

"By the way, Sister Ziling, what's this 'Crossing the Immortals' Assembly you mentioned?"

"The Immortal Ascension Assembly! Well, that's a long story..."

Murong Ziling then recounted the information about the Immortal Ascension Conference to Fengchuan.

"So that's how it is! No wonder there's no detailed information about the cultivation world in the mortal realm."

Only a few books recorded fragments of information, and most of them were ambiguous. "Toyokawa Meiji realized.

Then, something else occurred to Toyokawa, and he immediately asked about the thing he was most concerned about at the moment.

"Um, Sister Ziling, what kind of aptitude are you talking about? Can you take a look for me?" Fengchuan asked.

Murong Ziling: "Of course! I came here specifically for you to test your qualifications, that's a must."

After all, you showed signs of spiritual fluctuations when you were three years old, which suggests you may have extraordinary talent.

As she spoke, Murong Ziling took out a talisman and pointed it at Feng Chuan.

In an instant, the talisman shone brightly, like the blazing sun, dazzling and radiant.

Murong Ziling: "As expected, you have the aptitude for cultivation, and it seems quite good."

However, the specifics can only be determined after arriving in the cultivation world and conducting a detailed investigation.

Toyokawa: "So, does that mean I can also cultivate immortality?"

Murong Ziling: "Yes!"

Upon receiving an affirmative answer, Toyokawa was overjoyed, but still pretended to remain calm.

He then asked, "Sister Ziling, can I also participate in the Immortal Ascension Conference? But what about my family?"

Murong Ziling: "Of course you can participate! You are qualified, the age is right, and you are a scholar. You meet all the requirements."

As for their families, there's nothing that can be done; they can only remain in the mortal realm.

There is a difference between immortals and mortals; taking them to the cultivation world would not be a good thing for them.

You should know that the cultivation world is hundreds or even thousands of times more dangerous and cruel than the mortal world.

However, if you achieve success in your cultivation in the future and become a high-level cultivator, you can bring your family to the cultivation world to settle down on your own.

The major sects were also delighted to see this.

Toyokawa thought about it for a moment and realized that made sense.

Then she asked, "Sister Ziling, what level of cultivation is considered a high-level cultivator?"

Murong Ziling: "This varies from sect to sect in the immortal realm."

In sects like Qingyun Sword Sect, one is generally only allowed to leave the sect after reaching the Gathering Spirit Realm.

Only those who have reached the Foundation Establishment stage or above are allowed to guide mortals into the cultivation world and establish families.

Toyokawa then understood, but for a moment, he didn't know what to do.

Before entering the cultivation world, no one knows how long it will take to reach the Foundation Establishment stage.

If it were a few years, that would be fine.

But if it's been decades, by then it's too late for ordinary people; the grass on their graves might be overgrown with weeds.

His parents raised him to adulthood, and if he were to suddenly leave without knowing when he would return, it would be truly unfilial.

Having experienced the loneliness and despair of his past life, Toyokawa cherishes his family and kinship even more in this life.

However, there's no rush for now.

Even if I finally decide to go to the world of cultivation, I still have to discuss it with my parents, second uncle, and second aunt first.

Murong Ziling naturally noticed Feng Chuan's dilemma, but she didn't say anything more.

This is Toyokawa's own family matter, and he needs to make his own choices and bear the consequences. Others' unfounded opinions are likely to mislead and cause resentment.

"The Immortal Ascension Ceremony will have six months to prepare."

Furthermore, you will need to undergo a test in the imperial city; you can take your time to consider it.

In addition, I have to go to other state capitals to carry out missions, so I can't stay here any longer.

"If you decide to participate in the Immortal Ascension Conference, then go to the Imperial City with the Immortal Seed team from Qingzhou!" Murong Ziling said.

Fengchuan: "Okay, Sister Ziling, I'll think about it carefully."

After explaining a few more things, Murong Ziling bid farewell to Fengchuan.

In a flash, he disappeared from the study.

Upon witnessing such magical abilities, Toyokawa felt a surge of longing.

However, the inner turmoil did not lessen but instead intensified.

At this point, Toyokawa lost all interest in studying.

If people can cultivate immortality now, who the hell cares about a mortal's examination?

So Toyokawa decided to discuss it with his parents first.

I left the study and went to the backyard.

In the courtyard pavilion, the parents and their uncle and aunt were discussing something together.

Toyokawa walked straight over.

"Father, Mother, Second Uncle, Second Aunt."

"Chuan'er is here, come and sit down," said his mother, Madam Zhou.

I entered the pavilion and sat down next to my mother.

I wanted to say something, but I didn't know how to start. For a moment, I hesitated.

No one knows a son better than his father. Feng Yang saw through Feng Chuan's dilemma and knew that he had something on his mind.

He then said, "Chuan'er, is there something you want to say? Please speak freely!"

“Yes, Father,” Toyokawa replied.

He then summoned Murong Ziling and told the four elders everything about the Immortal Crossing Ceremony and his own test of his cultivation aptitude.

The four people stared wide-eyed as they listened to Toyokawa's account.

I knew Chuan'er had something to say, but I never expected it to be so bizarre.

At first, they couldn't believe it, but then they thought about it and realized that Chuan'er never lied, much less deceived the four of them.

But this whole thing is just so bizarre!

Both Feng Yang and Feng Pei came from merchant families.

Having traveled extensively, I have a rich understanding of the world and can be said to have a wealth of experience.

But after hearing what Toyokawa said, I still felt that my worldview had been completely overturned.

If this is true, it would be a blessing from heaven, and an immense blessing at that.

To mortals, cultivators are like gods.

Mortals all revere and admire immortals and gods.

The opportunity to become an immortal or god is right before our eyes.

Feng Yang and Feng Pei exchanged a glance and immediately guessed what the other was thinking.

"Chuan'er, is there something troubling you?" Feng Yang asked.

"Father, I can't bear to leave you, Mother, and my second uncle and aunt. I feel a little lost!" Feng Chuan said truthfully.

Upon hearing this, Feng Yang and the other three felt relieved.

But if they keep their own children by their side, they feel that it would hinder their children's bright future.

However, Toyokawa is still young, so it's not appropriate to immediately try to persuade him.

Feng Yang said, "This matter is indeed somewhat sudden."

Chuan'er, don't worry, take your time to think it over.

Whatever your final decision, we will support you.

"You must be tired from reading, go downstairs and get some rest!"

Toyokawa obediently left, returned to his room, lay down on the bed, and fell into deep thought.

After Toyokawa left, the four people in the pavilion started a new round of discussion.

Feng Yang spoke first, asking, "What do you all think about this?"

“Master, Chuan’er is still young. If he leaves home alone, how will he survive?”

And if I leave, I might never see you again. How can that be?"

As Zhou spoke, her voice trembled with sobs.

"Sister-in-law is right. Chuan'er is only twelve years old and is not yet an adult!"

If someone went to the world of cultivation, how would they survive?

My second aunt also said with heartache.

"Didn't you hear what Chuan'er just said? Cultivation should start early; the older you get, the harder it is to cultivate."

This is an incredible blessing. If Chuan'er can make a name for himself in the world of cultivation...

What do worldly riches, honors, fame, and fortune amount to?

Moreover, a mortal's life is only a few decades long, how short it is.

If Chuan'er can achieve success in his cultivation, then our Feng family lineage can be considered to have taken root in the world of cultivation.

I wonder how many people will be green with envy.

The family might even truly last for centuries. My second uncle, however, held a different opinion.

"Ah, Chuan'er is indeed still young, but it is precisely because he is young that he has even greater potential."

This situation is indeed a dilemma, and it is especially cruel for Chuan'er.

However, children will eventually grow up, and we will eventually leave this world.

If we delay Chuan'er's arrival at that time, how could we bear it?

As for Chuan'er, if we miss this opportunity, she may regret it for the rest of her life.

So let Chuan'er think about it carefully for now.

"If he continues to hesitate and waver, then we'll try to persuade him again!" Feng Yang concluded.

"That's all we can do. I hope Chuan'er can make a decision soon."

"A man's ambition lies in all directions; hesitation leads to chaos." Feng Pei then added.

“But…” Zhou was still somewhat unwilling to accept it.

But thinking about what her husband had said, she felt that as a mother, she couldn't be too selfish, especially since it was her own child.

If it is because of my reluctance and attempts to keep him that Chuan'er ruins his future.

If I become depressed and regretful for the rest of my life, can I, as a mother, really feel at ease?
