Chapter 491: Disciple of True Spirit Valley

"Splash..."

By the side of the wide river, a tall mortal was leading six jujube-red horses, taking care of these six horses drinking water.

Suddenly, a figure dressed in black jumped up from the river.

At a glance, one would think it was a big fish.

"Holy crap..." The man who was watering the horses was startled.

A tall horse beside him also retreated two steps as if startled, neighing a few times.

"Damn thing... you scared the hell out of me!" The man cursed at He Pingsheng, "If my horse gets startled, you'll have it coming today; I might give you a good beating!"

He Pingsheng didn't pay attention to him, but stood on the riverbank, soaking wet, looking around.

In the distance, there was a black steel bridge.

Further away, magnificent buildings reached into the clouds.

He Pingsheng's spiritual sense unfolded involuntarily.

This was a big city, very big.

As for what city it was, he didn't know.

He Pingsheng had also drifted in the river water for a full two months before choosing to go ashore.

"Why aren't you talking!" The man stared at He Pingsheng: "Don't tell me you're a mute... hey... hurry home, change your clothes, otherwise you'll easily catch a cold!"

He Pingsheng glanced at the man and walked away without saying a word.

His clothes dried not long after being roasted by a wisp of fire-attribute spiritual power.

Arriving at the city gate.

A huge, ancient stone tablet appeared before He Pingsheng's eyes.

He Pingsheng took a look: Fengdu City.

Fengdu City?

Isn't this the legendary second-largest city in the Chu Kingdom?

He Pingsheng didn't know how far this place was from the mountain He Wen and He Nian were thinking of.

He shifted his cultivation slightly, transforming it into about the eighth layer of Qi Condensation.

In this way, walking in the crowd was no different from a mortal.

Those high-level cultivators would almost never look at him twice; in others' eyes, this cultivation was just an ant.

He Pingsheng wandered aimlessly on the street like this.

"True Spirit Valley is recruiting disciples! Anyone at the fifth layer of Qi Condensation or above can participate!"

"I have a map of True Spirit Valley here, twenty spirit stones a copy; anyone want one?"

"Going to True Spirit Valley, one hundred spirit stones fee!"

"We'll deliver you there!"

At the entrance of a certain Chamber of Commerce, by the street, a fat cultivator was shouting.

He held many paper maps in his hand and had a spirit boat magic tool parked beside him.

He Pingsheng looked; this spirit boat only had two layers of restrictions, a mid-tier magic tool.

This thing was the most trashy existence in the Cultivation World.

He Pingsheng also looked at the fat cultivator's cultivation; he was actually at the Foundation Establishment stage.

"Give me a copy of the map!" He Pingsheng took out twenty spirit stones and bought a map.

This map was not big, only a corner of the entire Fengdu County.

Northwest of Fengdu City, about a few thousand miles away, there was a sect named 【True Spirit Valley】, and according to what this fat cultivator said, True Spirit Valley was recruiting disciples.

Fine!

Let's go take a look.

He Pingsheng just needed a place to stay now.

If he could hide in a sect and be a low-tier disciple without anyone knowing, who could see through his background?

For He Pingsheng, as long as he hid firmly, there would be no problem.

He wasn't in a hurry to improve his cultivation now; he just wanted to fix Sister Qiao's problem.

Leaving Fengdu City, He Pingsheng took out a 【Top-tier Magic Tool】 Cloud-Piercing Boat.

He had several of these, and hadn't used them for a long time.

"Whoosh..." The Cloud-Piercing Boat flew up instantly.

Hmm...

The speed... extremely slow.

A distance of just a few thousand miles, and he flew for nearly two hours to arrive.

At the entrance of True Spirit Valley, quite a few cultivators were already queuing.

He Pingsheng also quietly queued at the back of the crowd, moving slowly forward with the crowd.

Actually, the conditions for recruiting disciples were very simple: the first was that the cultivation had to be above the fifth layer of Qi Condensation, and the second was that the spiritual roots couldn't be too bad.

Half an hour later, it was finally He Pingsheng's turn.

"Eighth layer of Qi Condensation?"

"Not bad!"

"Cultivation is okay!" The elder in charge of recording and checking spiritual roots was a third-layer Foundation Establishment disciple; he "saw through" He Pingsheng's cultivation at a glance: "Come, test your spiritual roots!"

Beside him was a Five-Element Stone.

The Five-Element Stone was a zhang tall; as long as you put your hand on it, this Five-Element Stone could automatically detect a cultivator's spiritual roots.

He Pingsheng first circulated the 【Stealing the Sky and Changing the Sun】 divine ability to hide three of his spiritual roots, only revealing wood and fire, before putting his hand on it.

"Hum hum hum..."

On the Five-Element Stone, two lights suddenly emerged, red and green.

"Hey... this is not bad!" The elder in charge of testing said: "Actually a dual spiritual root, wood-fire spiritual root... tsk tsk tsk... not bad, not bad..."

"Can be considered a genius!"

"Hehehe... good, good..."

"What is your name?"

He Pingsheng said: "Junior's surname is Long, given name 【Long Zhe】..."

Let's use the disciple's name for now.

"Good, Long Zhe, go to the back and rest; after the selection is over, we will arrange where you go!"

Then He Pingsheng was led by a female Qi Condensation cultivator into the sect, and found a place to stay temporarily outside.

After about three days, the once-every-ten-years selection of True Spirit Valley ended.

A total of more than 120 disciples were selected.

"Everyone..." The elder who tested them came before the crowd and said: "You will all become outer disciples of my True Spirit Valley..."

"Stay in the outer sect first; if you have outstanding performance in the future, you can be admitted to the inner sect!"

"I have a few places here that you can choose from!"

"One is the Spirit Medicine Valley, one is the Alchemy Room, and there are the Internal Affairs Court, the Transmission Court, the Discipline Court, etc..."

"Alright, you can tell me where you want to go!"

"Of course, it's best to obey our sect's arrangements!"

"Below, come in one by one for a face-to-face talk!"

After speaking, the elder walked into a small room.

He Pingsheng curled his lips: Good fellow, I thought they were really recruiting disciples; it turns out they were recruiting people to do work.

Fine!

"Next..."

"Next!"

"Next..."

Everyone who entered the small room only had a few breaths of time.

Soon, it was He Pingsheng's turn.

"Next!"

He Pingsheng walked in.

He closed the door.

The elder said: "I remember you, Long Zhe... speak, where do you want to go!"

He Pingsheng silently took out about two hundred spirit stones and pushed them in front of the elder: "I don't like doing work; I hope Senior can arrange a quieter place for me so I can close-door cultivate!"

"Oh!"

"Hehehe..."

"Easy to talk about, easy to talk about..."

"Oh my, if everyone was as sensible as you, how good would that be!"

"That... from today on, you don't have to go anywhere; how about being my named disciple?"

"Of course, it's just a title!"

"With this title, you can find a place in the outer sect to open up your own cave dwelling!"

"With this status, you can find any place in the Outer Sect to open up your own cave dwelling!"
