Chapter 261 - 259: Seeking Immortality Hall (Part 2)

The rarity of True Blood talent is evident.

’Clop, clop, clop!’

"Whoa..."

At this moment, a luxurious double-horse carriage carved with dragons and phoenixes, its entrance covered with sky-blue brocade, hurriedly arrived at the scene.

The riders were two knife-bearing guards in brocade garments, their expressions indifferent, qi-blood strong, clearly having undergone rigorous training.

A slender white hand pulled back the curtain.

A young man wearing a jade crown jumped down.

His body was draped in a pristine white brocade robe, feet clad in black boots with silk and jade inlays, looking extremely noble.

Swaggering directly to the front, he evidently intended to cut in line.

And yet the sternly regimented guards at the Seeking Immortality Hall treated it as if unseen, without any reaction.

The young boys and girls queued behind showed discontent on their faces, but not one dared to protest.

None of them were foolish.

This noble youth who appeared to have considerable influence could evidently disregard the rules, which are often set only for common people.

The noble youth went in for a full hundred breaths.

Suddenly, a stunning green light shone from inside the hall, visible to those outside, shocking everyone.

"Shen Haoyu from Lin City, Innate Cyan Wood Bloodline, Grade: Superior." A loud male voice publicly declared the noble youth’s bloodline attributes.

The noble youth arrogantly emerged from the side door, his expression even more prideful.

"Innate Cyan Wood Bloodline, probably ranks within the top hundred of all bloodlines in the True Blood Sect, remarkable indeed!"

"This bloodline was known as the Wood Spirit Body in ancient times, you say, is it powerful?"

"Hiss..."

Among the crowd, some connoisseurs who recognized the extraordinary nature of the noble youth’s bloodline showed expressions of envy.

Privileged background and superior talent compared to you, it makes others envious.

After the noble youth Shen Haoyu, among the hundreds afterwards, only one boy with True Blood talent appeared.

His bloodline was called Ancient Blood, but during the test, the commotion couldn’t compare to Shen Haoyu’s, with only a faint red light emerging, and graded at a lower-middle level.

"In ancient times, aside from those famous and documented strong bloodlines, most of the ancestors’ bloodlines were obscure.

But that doesn’t mean they’re not powerful; trained to the extreme, they can still reach high realms," someone mused.

"As long as one possesses the ancient ancestors’ bloodline, they can embark on the Immortal Path. I’m not picky, just give me any one."

"Dream on, everything’s in your dreams..."

Quickly, it was Lou Yi and two others’ turn.

Lou Yi went in first, casually placing a piece of silver on the tray at the door.

Inside the Seeking Immortality Hall, a remarkably built bearded Immortal Master clad in a pitch-black Daoist robe with a Daoist crown was staring wide-eyed at him.

"Quickly sit down!"

The bearded man pointed beside, at a somewhat uniquely structured chair.

The chair was made of reddish-brown walnut wood, the seat and back engraved with densely complex black lines.

Lou Yi found these lines familiar, resembling those he saw atop Tai City’s walls, undoubtedly of an array’s caliber.

The chairback was tall, sitting upon it, one’s head would only reach the middle region.

At the very top, a white jade disk was embedded.

Lou Yi sat on the chair, abruptly feeling a chill flowing from his thigh up to his head.

Simultaneously, a faint grey glow suddenly flowed from the previously empty white jade.

"No True Blood, but surprisingly possessing a Yin Spirit Root? Just the talent is somewhat weak.

Nevertheless, although our True Blood Sect primarily focuses on bloodline body cultivation, we don’t exclude Five Elements Qi Cultivators. Are you interested in joining?" The bearded man asked.

"Thank you for the Immortal Master’s attention, I was unaware of possessing a Spirit Root and need to discuss with my parents." Lou Yi casually came up with an excuse.

He had already decided to join the Corpse-Driving Sect, naturally disregarding True Blood Sect’s unsuitable specialization.

The bearded man was indifferent, after all, Lou Yi’s Spirit Root grade hadn’t reached the point of tempting him.

"Next."

As Lou Yi exited the side door, he saw Shi Caifeng just entering through the main door.

After more than ten breaths.

A dazzling red light emerged within the Seeking Immortality Hall.

Soon, a fiery bird’s shadow suddenly appeared atop the hall, then disappeared.

"It’s Fiery Sun Fire Phoenix Blood, a Royal Body of the Ancient Human Race, definitely ranking at the forefront in the True Blood Sect’s formidable bloodlines!"

Someone shouted in surprise.

"Spirit Bodies already have exceptional talent; Royal Bodies are outstanding, rarely encountered in decades.

As for the legendary Holy Body bloodline, it hasn’t appeared in the True Blood Sect for over a millennium."

Inside the hall, the black-robed bearded Immortal Master was overjoyed.

"Excellent, excellent, unexpectedly encountering a top-tier talent this time, truly worth the trip, truly worth it!"

He looked excited, striding to Shi Caifeng: "What’s your name?"

"Shi Caifeng."

"The character Cai is pictorial, Feng is auspicious, reading aloud is smooth, a good name, truly a good name!"

Shi Caifeng: ...

"I have a younger brother, he should possess True Blood talent too."

"Is that so?" The bearded man’s eyes lit up.

Without Shi Caifeng exiting, Shi Qingde was beckoned in.

Next moment.

Another slightly smaller fiery phoenix shadow emerged atop the Seeking Immortality Hall.

"Shi Caifeng, Fiery Sun Fire Phoenix Bloodline, Grade: Superior."

"Shi Qingde, Fiery Sun Fire Phoenix Bloodline, Grade: Superior."

The loud voice rang out, causing a stir among the outside world.

Spirit Body bloodlines already surprised people, but paled in comparison to the rarer Royal Body bloodlines.

And the noble youth who was previously arrogant now looked somewhat sullen, coldly gazing ahead, lost in thought.

Only when the moon had risen did the testing for all those queued conclude.

Of the over a thousand tested, only five passed.

Apart from Shi Caifeng and sibling, noble youth Shen Haoyu, there were two others with relatively mediocre talent.

But the bearded Immortal Master stated this year’s count was the most in ten years at Lin City.

In previous years, there had even been times without recruiting a single disciple.

It shows, whether True Blood talent or Spirit Root, owners are one in ten thousand.

The Shi Caifeng siblings hadn’t used the Immortal Ascension Order.

According to the bearded Immortal Master, only those with extremely poor talent would a sect consider accepting by favor of the Immortal Ascension Order.

Yet the premise of extremely poor talent is, one must possess talent.

Without talent, entering the sect is useless. With outstanding talent, there’s no need for it.

And this time, all selected into the sect will temporarily reside in the Seeking Immortality Hall, awaiting sect personnel in a few days.

By riding on the fame of Shi Caifeng and sibling, Lou Yi was able to stay in the Seeking Immortality Hall.

This was due to the bearded Immortal Master’s particular regard for them.

Otherwise, it’s rare for the Seeking Immortality Hall to make exceptions and allow irrelevant individuals to stay.
