With her innocent heart, if she cultivates, she will surely advance by leaps and bounds.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Jiang Yan’s praise, Baizhu looked at Qiqi and Changsheng with some envy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed there would be no problem for Qiqi and Changsheng to join Shushan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Talent...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Baizhu wavered for a moment but soon became firm again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although his talent was not high, he believed that man can conquer heaven!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Since that is the case, except for Qiqi, you and Changsheng may enter the preaching plaza before you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A purple cloud appeared out of thin air under Qiqi’s feet, lifting her up and sending her to the other side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This plaza is inscribed with many Heart-Questioning Arrays.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you pass through the array, you can become a disciple of Shushan, practice the method of longevity, and pursue the Immortal Dao.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you cannot pass the array, then leave.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although he said it like that, in reality, Jiang Yan had no doubts about whether Baizhu and Changsheng could pass the array.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Baizhu’s pursuit of longevity was almost to the point of obsession.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now that he had grasped this straw, he wouldn't let go even if he died.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for Changsheng...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With double superior spirit roots, plus her own identity as an immortal and the long years she had lived,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the Heart-Questioning Array was not difficult for her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To be honest, Jiang Yan even felt that Baizhu could go very far after cultivating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although his talent was average,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>his mindset was simply too persistent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Dao heart is far more important than talent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Talent can be changed later, but the Dao heart is truly a matter of personal will.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Changsheng, everything I have sought in my life is right before my eyes.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Baizhu took a deep breath and looked down at Changsheng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The latter was silent for a moment and said slowly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your obsession is too deep, Baizhu.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I understand.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Baizhu nodded and smiled:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But this obsession is the greatest motivation for me to live on.
