Chapter 62: Cultivation Family
Qin Zhixue's long hair cascaded down her back, and her bright eyes were slightly misty, making her even more ethereal and otherworldly.
At that moment, snowflakes fell on Qin Zhixue in the courtyard, adding to her ethereal beauty.
This left Liu Yuelong speechless.
Qin Zhixue glanced at Liu Yuelong with a cold and indifferent expression before stepping out of the house.
"Greetings, Fellow Daoist Qin!" Liu Yuelong's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately bowed to Qin Zhixue.
"I'm sorry to trouble Fellow Daoist Liu to deliver this message!" Qin Zhixue nodded slightly and then bowed.
"Of course, of course!" Liu Yuelong said repeatedly. In front of Qin Zhixue, he was momentarily at a loss for words. He didn't know how to say the many things he wanted to say, so he could only nod repeatedly with a smile and say, "Please!" After saying that, he stretched out his hand.
Qin Zhixue nodded slightly and headed towards the main hall of the courtyard.
At this moment, Yang Jiuli also came out.
"Ninth Young Master..." Qin Zhixue's eyes sparkled with affection, and a smile appeared between her brows as she gracefully bowed to Yang Jiuli.
Seeing Qin Zhixue being so friendly to this guy at the first level of Qi Refining, Liu Yuelong frowned, feeling a little jealous.
Yang Jiuli smiled and gestured to Qin Zhixue, then looked at Liu Yuelong and said, "Fellow Daoist Liu, please!"
Liu Yuelong then put aside his thoughts, cupped his hands in greeting to Yang Jiuli, and walked towards the main hall.
Yang Jiuli and the other two also went over.
Qin Zhixue and Yang Jiuli took their seats on the right.
Liu Yuelong sat down in the grand master's chair on the left.
Tang Yifan then brewed a pot of tea and poured a cup for Liu Yuelong.
The tea was ordinary cloud and mist tea. Although it had absorbed some spiritual energy, its taste was far inferior to that of true spiritual tea.
Liu Yuelong took a sip and then put down his teacup.
He is the eldest son of the Liu family. He began cultivating Qi at the age of nine and has now reached the third level of Qi Refining, making him a person of great importance.
They usually drink spiritual tea, so they naturally look down on this ordinary cloud and mist mountain tea.
"I wonder what inside information Fellow Daoist Liu brought back?" Upon hearing this, Yang Jiuli understood and immediately put down his teacup and smiled.
Qin Zhixue also looked at Liu Yuelong.
Seeing Qin Zhixue looking at him, Liu Yuelong immediately said with great enthusiasm, "A few days ago, my cousin from the Qingyan Immortal Sect wrote to say that on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, both the Qingyan Immortal Sect and the Ice River Valley Immortal Sect will come to the Dragon Lake Mountain Immortal Platform to select promising immortals!"
"Glacier Valley?" Upon hearing this, Yang Jiuli's eyes lit up.
He had heard Lu Wenzheng say that the Azure Flame Immortal Sect was coming.
Besides these, there are several other families that have achieved Foundation Establishment.
Now that there's a glacier valley, there's another opportunity.
He glanced at Qin Zhixue secretly.
"Zhi Xue has cultivated the Yin Qi... This Ice River Valley is quite suitable for her!" Yang Jiuli thought to himself.
Glacier Valley...
As the name suggests, it must be a cultivation sect that focuses on ice and water.
Qin Zhixue has cultivated the Yin Qi, and will have the most suitable cultivation resources in the Ice River Valley.
"Both the Ice River Valley and the Azure Flame Immortal Sect have Core Formation Realm elders presiding over them... They are the top immortal sects in my Chu Kingdom. However, their selection criteria for disciples are extremely strict. Even my family elder brother is only a disciple in the Medicine Garden of the sect's Medicine Peak!" Liu Yuelong said.
Although they are called disciples of the herb garden, they are actually responsible for cultivating spiritual plants and medicinal herbs, which is a slightly higher level than menial servants.
"So strict?" Tang Yifan had already sat down, and upon hearing this, he couldn't help but frown.
"Haha, you're only at the first level of Qi Refining. Unless you have a mid-grade spiritual root, you won't be able to join these two great immortal sects!" Liu Yuelong said.
This made Tang Yifan's face darken. Was this guy deliberately trying to embarrass him?
"However, Fellow Daoist Qin is exceptionally talented, so I think you still have a chance!" Liu Yuelong said. "If all else fails, I'll have my cousin arrange it. You can also enter the Qingyan Immortal Sect's herb garden. Although there are many trivial matters there, the spiritual energy there is extremely rich, which is beneficial for cultivation."
Liu Yuelong came here to curry favor with Qin Zhixue and do her a favor.
Qin Zhixue glanced at Yang Jiuli, seemingly wanting to hear the latter's opinion, but did not immediately flatter Liu Yuelong.
"Why does Fellow Daoist Qin always have to be mindful of Yang Jiuli's feelings?" Upon seeing this, Liu Yuelong gritted his teeth inwardly.
"This kid is already in his twenties and has only reached the first level of Qi Refining. He's destined to have no hope of immortality. How can he compare to me?"
The more he thought about it, the angrier he became, and he clenched his fists.
However, in front of the beauty, Liu Yuelong still tried his best to maintain his composure, a smile appearing on his lips as he looked at Yang Jiuli and the others.
"I appreciate Fellow Daoist Liu's kindness on behalf of Sister Zhixue, but I've often heard Uncle Liu say that in the path of cultivation, one can only go further if it is appropriate... This Azure Flame Immortal Sect seems to focus on fire, so Sister Zhixue's cultivation of Yin energy might not be very suitable," Yang Jiuli said.
"The spiritual energy within the immortal sect is abundant. If we miss this opportunity, it will be difficult to find such a place for cultivation," Liu Yuelong said.
"I think we should wait until we test her spiritual root before making a decision. If Sister Zhixue's spiritual root doesn't meet the requirements, and we offend Fellow Daoist Liu's clansman, we can't afford to suffer such a loss!" Yang Jiuli smiled slightly. He was naturally not so easily fooled.
If one's spiritual root meets the requirements, even if one cannot join the Azure Flame Immortal Sect, one can still join other major Foundation Establishment forces.
In comparison, it's no worse than being a medicine boy at the Azure Flame Immortal Sect.
It also saved me from doing someone a favor.
In this world, favors owed must eventually be repaid.
If Qin Zhixue really listens to Liu Yuelong, she'll be at his mercy!
Moreover, based on his experience from several lifetimes, Yang Jiuli judged Qin Zhixue's cultivation speed to mean that her spiritual root was at least of the upper-middle grade. Such talent was rare even in the immortal sects, so there was no need for Yang Jiuli to accept Liu Yuelong's small favor for nothing.
"Fellow Daoist Qin, what do you think?" Liu Yuelong was somewhat displeased and looked at Qin Zhixue.
"Without testing, everything is just empty talk. Let's wait for the selection results first!" Qin Zhixue said gracefully with a gentle smile. "I appreciate Fellow Daoist Liu's kindness!" She picked up her teacup, took a sip, and expressed her gratitude.
Hearing what Qin Zhixue said next, and seeing the smile on her face, Liu Yuelong's displeasure dissipated.
"Fellow Daoist Qin is right, it was I who was presumptuous!" Liu Yuelong smiled and also picked up his teacup and took a sip.
"Does Fellow Daoist Liu have any other important news?" Yang Jiuli asked.
"Yes, what you're saying is all too abstract!" Tang Yifan said.
He also wanted to hear about the affairs of the immortal sects.
"Of course I do!" Liu Yuelong replied with a touch of arrogance when the two pressed him for an answer.
He thought to himself, "Aren't you all begging me for help?"
He straightened his clothes and said, "Besides these two major immortal sects, there are also seven Foundation Establishment families that will be selecting immortal talents in the future."
"The Seven Great Foundation Establishment Families?" Tang Yifan looked at Liu Yuelong, puzzled but impressed.
"The Seven Great Families!" Yang Jiuli's heart skipped a beat. If it were only one or two families, his chances of being eliminated would still be very high.
If there are seven...
That would give him a better chance.
Qin Zhixue listened quietly.
Liu Yuelong quite enjoyed the feeling of being the center of attention.
"These seven great families are..."
First: The Zhou family of Tiemu County in the northwest region of Daze County.
