Chapter 62

After the once-a-century recruitment ceremony ended, the Profound Yi Tianzong returned to calm.

Only the various handyman peaks of the Profound Heaven Mountain Range had an influx of many new-generation disciples.

Ye Qingxuan Dongxuan Fudi.

After the two brothers Ye Ye Zhaoheng and Ye Ye Zhaoyu returned from watching the recruitment ceremony, they were excitedly describing the interesting events that happened at the ceremony to Ye Ye Qingxuan.

And Ye Ye Qingxuan was quietly drinking tea, listening to the two brothers recount everything with a calm demeanor.

Finally, Ye Ye Zhaoheng said with lingering interest: "By the way, Young Master, a peerless genius with a twelve-element spirit root appeared in this recruitment ceremony, named Liu Tai'an!"

"At first, other law-enforcement elders wanted to snatch Liu Tai'an as their personal disciple and almost started fighting. Later, the Sect Master appeared and personally took Liu Tai'an as his closing disciple, which suppressed the fighting among the law-enforcement elders."

Hearing Ye Ye Zhaoheng's words, Ye Ye Qingxuan paused slightly, raised an eyebrow, and said softly:

"Twelve-element spirit root? Liu Tai'an?"

Then he looked at the two brothers Ye Ye Zhaoheng and Ye Ye Zhaoyu and said:

"Alright, you two go down! Strive to break through to the Foundation Establishment Realm as soon as possible."

"Yes, Young Master!"

After the two brothers Ye Ye Zhaoheng and Ye Ye Zhaoyu left, the stone pavilion at the entrance of the Ye Qingxuan Dongxuan Fudi returned to calm.

Regarding the entire recruitment ceremony, the only thing Ye Ye Qingxuan was interested in was Liu Tai'an, who possessed the twelve-element spirit root talent.

But he was only slightly interested; no matter how high Liu Tai'an's talent was, it had nothing to do with his own cultivation.

Ye Ye Qingxuan was just curious about the cultivation speed of a twelve-element spirit root talent, as it was his first time hearing of one.

But Ye Ye Qingxuan did not expect that his intersection with Liu Tai'an would come so quickly.

More than three months later.

A figure who was still young appeared outside the Ye Qingxuan Dongxuan Fudi and said loudly: "Junior Brother Liu Tai'an, here to visit Senior Brother Ye, hoping for Senior Brother's permission!"

Inside the Ye Qingxuan Dongxuan Fudi, Ye Ye Qingxuan put away the elixir he had just finished refining, feeling somewhat surprised:

"Liu Tai'an? It's him? What is he doing here looking for me?"

Unable to think of the reason why Liu Tai'an would come looking for him, Ye Ye Qingxuan shook his head slightly, left the Ye Qingxuan Dongxuan Fudi, and came to the stone pavilion outside.

Observing Liu Tai'an not far away through his spiritual sense, Ye Ye Qingxuan was very surprised:

"Foundation Establishment Realm? Truly established foundation in a hundred days?"

He knew the cultivation speed of a twelve-element spirit root was terrifying, but he did not expect that Liu Tai'an, despite being limited by his physical body in the early stages, could still spend only about a hundred days to cross the Qi Refining Realm and directly establish his foundation.

Putting away the surprise in his heart, Ye Ye Qingxuan said calmly:

"Since you're here, Junior Brother Liu, come to my stone pavilion for a chat!"

Liu Tai'an, not far away, heard Ye Ye Qingxuan's words, his eyes lit up, and he hurriedly flew on his sword to the stone pavilion where Ye Ye Qingxuan was.

Ye Ye Qingxuan looked at the slightly green and very cautious Liu Tai'an before him, completely unable to associate him with a peerless genius.

Looking at the green Liu Tai'an, Ye Ye Qingxuan thought of his own figure when he was young and smiled lightly:

"Junior Brother Liu, no need to be cautious, please sit!"

As he spoke, Ye Ye Qingxuan poured a cup of tea for Liu Tai'an.

Hearing Ye Ye Qingxuan's words, Liu Tai'an relaxed slightly, sat opposite Ye Ye Qingxuan, and curiously picked up the tea to take a sip.

After Liu Tai'an sat down, Ye Ye Qingxuan asked:

"I wonder what brings you here, Junior Brother Liu?" Hearing Ye Ye Qingxuan's inquiry, to Ye Ye Qingxuan's surprise, Liu Tai'an stood up directly, bowed, and thanked him: "Tai'an came here this time to thank Senior Brother Ye for saving my life back then?"

"Saving your life? When did I save you? Junior Brother Liu, did you mistake me for someone else?"

Facing Liu Tai's actions and the mention of saving his life, Ye Ye Qingxuan was a bit confused.

He had cultivated for many years and rarely left the Profound Yi Tianzong; he had absolutely no memory of saving the Liu Tai'an before him.

But he did not expect that after Liu Tai'an looked at him steadily for a moment, he shook his head firmly:

"It is Senior Brother Ye, Junior Brother will not remember incorrectly."

Then Liu Tai'an reminded him: "Junior Brother is from Liu Village, Qingmu Prefecture, Qing Province. Back then, Senior Brother Ye passed by Liu Village, killed a demonic beast for our village, and saved our Liu Village!"

Although he was young back then, his impression of Ye Ye Qingxuan was extremely deep, and Ye Ye Qingxuan had not hidden his name or background at the time.

So after Liu Tai'an joined the Profound Yi Tianzong and was taken in by the Sect Master,

Once he successfully established his foundation and obtained Cen Zhe's permission to walk in the Profound Heaven Mountain Range, he begged his master, Cen Zhe, to find information about Ye Ye Qingxuan.

After all the information matched, he found his way to the Ye Qingxuan Dongxuan Fudi.

After Liu Tai'an's reminder, Ye Ye Qingxuan realized and laughed dumbfoundedly: "So you are from that Liu Village? Back then, I just happened to pass by and did it as a matter of convenience; you don't need to thank me!"

Originally, seeing Ye Ye Qingxuan recall the Liu Village incident, Liu Tai'an's face showed joy, but hearing Ye Ye Qingxuan's last words, Liu Tai'an's small face became anxious: "Senior Brother Ye might have just done it as a matter of convenience, but it truly saved our Liu Village and saved me."

"Although my cultivation is low now and I cannot repay Senior Brother Ye's life-saving grace, I will definitely find a way to repay Senior Brother in the future."

Looking at the firm look in the eyes of the green Liu Tai'an, Ye Ye Qingxuan did not refuse again and said casually: "Alright then! Senior Brother will wait for your repayment in the future!"

Then, Ye Ye Qingxuan took out a storage bag and tossed it to Liu Tai'an:

"However, since you call me Senior Brother, then for our first meeting, let these be a small gift from me as your Senior Brother!"

"No, Senior Brother Ye, I cannot accept your things!"

Liu Tai'an, who subconsciously caught the storage bag, felt as if he had caught a furnace and anxiously wanted to return the storage bag.

He came to thank Ye Ye Qingxuan for saving his life; how could he be embarrassed to accept Ye Ye Qingxuan's gift? Seeing Liu Tai'an wanted to refuse, Ye Ye Qingxuan scolded directly: "If you still recognize me as your Senior Brother, then accept it!"

For so many years, Liu Tai'an was the first person to call him Senior Brother.

There were many disciples in the Profound Yi Tianzong, and there must be people who joined later and had lower cultivation than Ye Ye Qingxuan.

But precisely because there were so many disciples in the Profound Yi Tianzong, it was impossible for them all to have intersections with each other.

For disciples in the Profound Yi Tianzong, if they were not taken in by the same master, there were no strict requirements regarding titles.

Disciples who had intersections could address each other according to the time they joined or according to their cultivation.

But most people would address each other by cultivation; after all, it was impossible to ask every fellow disciple one met about the time they joined.

And very coincidentally, Ye Ye Qingxuan had joined the Profound Yi Tianzong for many years, but because he lived in seclusion and cultivated all year round, the people he knew were basically Senior Brothers and Senior Sisters.

And Liu Tai'an was his only Junior Brother at present, and also the first person to call him Senior Brother.

Hearing Ye Ye Qingxuan's words, Liu Tai'an could only blush and accept the storage bag given by Ye Ye Qingxuan, bowing again:

"Since that is the case, then Junior Brother Liu Tai'an thanks Senior Brother Ye!"

The storage bag given to Liu Tai'an only contained some third-order elixirs and mid-to-low-grade true artifacts that Ye Ye Qingxuan had refined casually, which was a token of Ye Ye Qingxuan's heart as a Senior Brother.

These things might be precious to others, but to Liu Tai'an, they might not count for much.

After all, Liu Tai'an was the closing disciple of the Profound Yi Tianzong Master! But Liu Tai'an still firmly remembered Ye Ye Qingxuan's friendship in his heart.
