Step by Step Ascend to Immortality

Chapter 70: Chapter 60 Shen Que'er

The cultivator at the thirteenth level of Qi Refining was not so easily persuaded by Liu Suiyun. "Just a few compliments from you can't convince everyone! If you want to ask a question, this story alone is not enough!"

Liu Suiyun told a story he had heard from Gu Yinghua with a smile. "In our Vault of Heaven world, there is a super sect called the Taibai Sword Sect. I wonder if you have heard of it, dear friends?"

The reputation of the Taibai Sword Sect is known to everyone among these cultivators. The cultivator at the thirteenth level directly said, "If I haven't heard of the Taibai Sword Sect, then my twenty years of cultivating immortality would be in vain."

Liu Suiyun continued along his words. "Yes. The Taibai Sword Sect is even more powerful than the Shenxiao Sect of our Great Han Kingdom. It is said that there are as many as nine cultivators above the Deity Transformation realm, known as the Nine Swords of Taibai. Such a sect naturally attracts countless heroes from all over the world who want to join. It is said that the requirements for entry are ten times stricter than those of our Shenxiao Sect. And in our Great Han Kingdom, there is a small cultivator at the middle stage of Qi Refining. Traveling millions of miles and spending more than ten years to become a disciple of the Taibai Sword Sect!"

At this point, everyone was attracted by Liu Suiyun's story. For a cultivator at the middle stage of Qi Refining to join the Shenxiao Sect is already difficult. Let alone the Taibai Sword Sect, such a super sect. Not to mention that this person is probably not young. Therefore, someone sighed slightly but was very expectant of the ending of the story and waited for Liu Suiyun to continue.

Liu Suiyun continued, "At that time, he was nearly forty years old. His cultivation at the middle stage of Qi Refining was really too low. It was extremely difficult to enter the Taibai Sword Sect. Therefore, in the first entrance competition, he was unsurprisingly kicked out..." But this senior felt that after traveling for more than ten years, he couldn't return to the Great Han in such a miserable way. So he stayed near the Taibai Sword Sect!"

This story was not unexpected. Liu Suiyun continued, "The Taibai Sword Sect has an entrance competition every year. This senior reflected on his failure and made great progress in both cultivation and swordsmanship in one year. When he went to the competition again the next year, he still failed..."

Everyone found this story a bit boring. The cultivator at the thirteenth level immediately asked, "Did he succeed in the entrance competition on the third year?"

When it came to this point, the cultivator at the thirteenth level was filled with many emotions. This year was also his third attempt to break through the walls of the Shenxiao Sect. If he failed again this year, he would resolutely return to his hometown. He would no longer have the fantasy of becoming a Foundation Establishment cultivator but consider passing on his bloodline. Therefore, he was extremely concerned about the fate of the protagonist of this story.

"In the entrance competition on the third year, he almost didn't have the chance to participate. The Taibai Sword Sect has always refused to accept disciples over forty years old. After going through all kinds of hardships, he finally managed to participate in the competition. But in the end, he still fell short by a little and didn't succeed. It's a pity..."

The cultivator at the thirteenth level immediately asked anxiously, "Then why are you telling us all this? Did he return to the Great Han Kingdom because of this?"

"No. This senior suffered defeats again and again but never gave up. He participated in the entrance competition of the Taibai Sword Sect for ten consecutive years. In the end, he was still one step short. But..."

Liu Suiyun introduced a turning point at the right time. "When it came to the tenth entrance competition, he was so disheartened that he wanted to return to our Great Han Kingdom. Unexpectedly, when the immortals of the Taibai Sword Sect heard that he was going home, they tried every means to persuade him to stay and refused to let him return to our Great Han Kingdom."

Argumentative was surprised and immediately asked, "Could it be that our senior is a handsome man and has captured the heart of a female immortal of the Taibai Sword Sect?"

"No! No! No!" Liu Suiyun said with a smile. "Think about it. How many times has this senior participated in the entrance competition of the Taibai Sword Sect? A full ten years. During this period, there were ten major competitions and dozens of minor competitions. He is even much more familiar with all the ins and outs of the entrance competition of the Taibai Sword Sect than the disciples of the Taibai Sword Sect. Although he himself can't pass the competition..."

Liu Suiyun took a sip of tea. "But precisely because of this, although he doesn't know how to pass the entrance competition, he knows the most about why he can't pass. Therefore, countless outstanding people from all over listen to his teachings. It is said that listening to this senior's teachings can increase the chance by thirty percent."

The cultivator at the thirteenth level praised, "Extraordinary!"

"Without this senior's teaching session, it is said that the Taibai Sword Sect will accept ten percent fewer disciples in a year. Therefore, when this senior wanted to go home, countless people persuaded him to stay. So this senior continued to participate in the entrance competition of the Taibai Sword Sect for eighteen years. He is extremely familiar with all matters related to the entrance competition of the Taibai Sword Sect. Every time he holds a teaching session, thousands of fellow Taoists will attend. One teaching session can earn him hundreds of spirit stones..."

"In the end, although this senior didn't pass the entrance competition of the Taibai Sword Sect, he established his foundation and his enjoyment and treatment are far better than those of the sect disciples of the Taibai Sword Sect!" Liu Suiyun said with a smile. "Each field has its own expertise. Stones from other mountains can be used to polish jade. I wonder if you dear friends are willing to give me such an opportunity?"

This story that Gu Yinghua used to inspire Liu Suiyun was more infectious than expected. The cultivator at the thirteenth level thought that he had become disheartened after only three setbacks in front of the Shenxiao Sect. And then he thought of the indomitable spirit of this unnamed senior thousands of miles away. For a moment, he didn't know how much ambition was aroused. "You can ask a question!"

Although there were still many different opinions, among the cultivators present, the one with the highest cultivation at the thirteenth level had the final say. Liu Suiyun had the opportunity to ask a question to the immortal master who was imparting knowledge and experience.

Just as they were talking, the innkeeper had already announced with a serious expression, "Please be quiet, everyone. Be quiet. The immortal master is coming soon, coming soon!"

The entire inn immediately became quiet. The boss called out names one by one with an account book. Occasionally, he could catch one or two cultivators who wanted to take some small advantages and fined them a lot of gold. Soon, the legendary immortal master who was proficient in medicine and also in spiritual plant cultivation had arrived.

Although everyone had already heard about the cultivation level of this immortal master, when this immortal master appeared, there was still a commotion throughout the audience. Wasn't this too young?

This immortal master was actually a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl. She had a round face, big watery eyes, long eyelashes, and a very delicate face. Her long hair draped over her shoulders. She was not very tall. With her head lowered, she looked timid, like
