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 black-clothed figure jumped up from the river.

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

"Damn..." The man who was watering the horses was startled.

A tall horse beside him also retreated two steps in fright, neighing a few times.

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

He He Pingsheng ignored him, but stood on the riverbank, soaking wet, and looked around.

In the distance, there was a black steel bridge.

Further away, magnificent buildings reached into the clouds.

He 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 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 He Pingsheng: "Don't tell me you're a mute... hey... hurry home, change your clothes, otherwise you'll easily catch a cold!"

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

His clothes, under the roasting of a wisp of fire-attribute spiritual energy, dried before long.

Arriving at the city gate.

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

He He Pingsheng took a look: Fengdu City.

Fengdu City?

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

He He Pingsheng didn't know how far this place was from He Wen He Nian Mountain.

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; this level of cultivation was just an ant in others' eyes.

He He Pingsheng just wandered aimlessly on the street like this.

"True Spirit Valley is recruiting disciples... anyone at the fifth layer of Qi Condensation or above can come and 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!"

"Guaranteed delivery!"

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

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

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

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

This map wasn't big, only a corner of the entire Fengdu Commandery.

Northwest of Fengdu City, about several 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 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 He Pingsheng, as long as he hid securely, 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 He Pingsheng took out a 【Top-tier Magic Tool】 Cloud-Piercing Boat.

He had several of these; he hadn't used them for a long time.

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

Hmm...

The speed... extremely slow.

A short distance of 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 up.

He 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 at the fifth layer of Qi Condensation or above, and the second was that the spiritual roots couldn't be too bad.

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

"Eighth layer of Qi Condensation?"

"Not bad!"

"Cultivation is okay!"

The disciple at the third layer of Foundation Establishment responsible for recruitment and checking spiritual roots 'saw through' He He Pingsheng's cultivation at a glance: "Come, test your spiritual roots!"

Beside him was a Five Elements Stone.

The Five Elements Stone was one zhang tall; as long as one put their hand on it, this Five Elements Stone could automatically detect the cultivator's spiritual roots.

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

"Hum hum hum..."

On the Five Elements Stone, two rays of light suddenly emerged, red and green.

"Hey... this is not bad!" The Elder responsible for 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 He Pingsheng said: "This junior's surname is Long, given name 【Long Zhe】..."

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

"Good, Long Zhe, go rest in the back; after the selection ends, we will arrange where you go!"

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

After about three days, the once-in-a-decade selection of True Spirit Valley ended.

A total of more than 120 disciples were selected.

"Everyone..." The testing Elder came before the crowd and said: "You will all become outer disciples of our True Spirit Valley..."

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

"I have several places here that you can choose from!"

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

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

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

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

After speaking, the Elder walked into a small room.

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

Fine!

"Next..."

"Next!"

"Next..."

Every person entering the small room only had a few breaths of time.

Soon, it was He He Pingsheng's turn.

"Next!"

He He Pingsheng walked in.

The door was closed by him.

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

He 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 the Senior can arrange a quieter place for me so I can cultivate in seclusion!"

"Oh!"

"Hehehe..."

"Easy to say, easy to say..."

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

"That... from today on, you don't have to go anywhere; how about becoming 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!" ===== CHAPTER 492 =====
