Stunningly beautiful young lady

Just like him, even if he had inner demons in the past, when have those inner demons been able to control him?

This has never happened before; my senior is being too cautious.

"Okay, let's start learning then."

He Ye was a straightforward person. Since he had agreed to become an apprentice, he didn't delay or waste any time.

"The great thief..."

The old man in white wanted to say something more, but seeing the two already beginning to teach the techniques, his words caught in his throat, so he spoke other things instead:

“My junior brother and I are the guardians of this White Deer Plain Forest. Your arrival here today is a kind of destiny with us, and you have the opportunity to become our disciples and receive our inheritance.”

"However, as you have all seen, my junior brother has already chosen his successor, so you can only accept my inheritance now."

Everyone was initially engrossed in watching the two dark spiritual energies when they suddenly heard the word "inheritance," and their attention immediately turned to the white-robed elder.

Even the disciples of the Dark God Temple all turned their heads away, no longer looking in the direction of their Holy Son, and all looked up at the old man.

Although the old man was probably not a dark-type cultivator, they were not discouraged because of this, since the remaining nineteen of them were not dark-type spiritual roots either.

The Dark Temple does not recruit disciples with all dark-type spiritual roots; they also recruit disciples with other types, although their rank and status are generally not very high.

Aside from those who are truly exceptionally strong and talented, only those who gain the Holy Lord's favor are the lowest-ranking disciples, like these people.

Moreover, they had just witnessed that the black-clad old man and the Holy Son of the Dark God Temple must have imparted extraordinary techniques.

Although they were far apart and each strike seemed ordinary, the fluctuations in spiritual energy were enough to startle them.

Just as everyone was celebrating, the old man in the white robe shattered most of their confidence with his next words.

"My spiritual root cultivation techniques have white and wood elements, so only disciples who have spiritual roots of these two elements can stay and take on the challenges I set."

After this was said, out of a total of sixty or seventy people, only twelve or thirteen met the criteria.

Moreover, most of them are wood-type, and in everyone's perception, only Hua Luobu is white-type, and he is also a cultivator with dual spiritual roots.

Those who did not meet the criteria could only sigh with regret upon hearing the news, and then they could not hear anything else.

The white-robed elder ignored them for the time being and continued speaking:

"Only those who succeed in the challenge will be taught skills by me. Those who fail will have to go to the next place on their own, and I will not interfere with them."

When this statement was made, everyone felt it made a lot of sense. After all, only those with the ability can receive the inheritance, and those without the ability should leave as soon as possible.

Those who met the requirements were already impatient, as the process was in full swing and they were itching to get started.

"No rush, I still have something to say."

The old man in white robes hadn't expected these youngsters to be so impatient; he hadn't even finished speaking before they were already eager to speak.

"Old Immortal, please speak quickly, we are all listening."

Hua Luoluo looked at the old immortal with white wings and asked the truth in a very innocent and naive way.

No one else was as bold as him and dared to speak like that; they could only admire the courage of this silly young master of the Hua family.

Seeing that everyone had quieted down again, the old man in white robes continued:

"Those of you who didn't meet the requirements can take on another challenge. After successfully completing the challenge, you can only enter one secret room and each of you can choose one treasure."

The crowd, who had initially given up hope, immediately perked up after hearing these words.

"What? We can also take on level challenges, and there are even treasures to be won if we succeed!"

Upon hearing this news, a female disciple stared wide-eyed in disbelief, her voice becoming extremely excited.

They had been inside this ancient tomb for three days, either searching for a way or on their way to find a way, and had never encountered anything of value.

I'm so excited to finally hear such good news!

"Yes, those who succeed in the challenge can choose one treasure, but they can only take one."

"If someone greedily tries to take both treasures with them, then you will lose the treasure you chose first."

Some people who originally had this idea temporarily put it aside after hearing this sentence.

“Follow the light’s guidance, and you will find a bamboo forest at the end of the light. That will be your challenge.”

As he spoke, he casually flicked his right hand, and a beam of white light shot out from the ground, stretching towards a certain place.

Looking in the direction of the white light, it was still quite far away, and the bamboo forest could not be seen at all. In addition, the white light was blocked by a mountain.

Some people were still observing the route, while some quick-moving people had already set off, using the boost of spiritual power to run over a hundred meters in just a couple of breaths.

"Hey, what's wrong with you people? You're not gentlemanly at all."

The man whose mouth had just been gagged was finally able to make a sound. Looking at those hurried people, he really wanted to tie them up and throw them aside.

While he was saying this, many more people had already set off, putting increasing distance between them and him.

The others ignored him and kept rushing forward, as if whoever got to the front would get the treasure.

"Alright, alright, you guys better run fast and grab all the treasures, otherwise you'll all end up eating shit."

While talking, he also sped up, because he had now fallen to the very back of the group, and if he didn't pick up speed, he really wouldn't be able to see their tails anymore.

"Old Immortal, what is our challenge?"

Hua Luoluo looked at the crowd that had disappeared before her eyes, then raised her head to look at the old immortal in front of her.

Hua Luobu patted his younger brother's head. Sometimes, naive people are indeed blessed; this old man in white seemed to like his younger brother quite a bit.

"follow me."

He turned around first and led the group toward a stream.

He wasn't as carefree as his junior brother, nor was he so casual in choosing disciples, nor was he so unreserved when imparting cultivation techniques.

This is, after all, his own unique secret technique, and only his carefully selected apprentices can observe it.
