Chapter 217 Stay
When the first Breakthrough Pill went on sale, Goat Beard Mingming was in line, and even near the front.

But at that time, he had doubts about the pill and did not fully believe in its efficacy. Most importantly, he was reluctant to part with 100,000 crystals, so he thought about bargaining.

This item was originally priced at a fixed price, and there were many people around. Seeing that he wasn't genuinely interested in buying it, Manager Niu told him to leave the group and go outside.

At that time, Goatee was still somewhat resentful, harboring malicious hopes that the elixir would backfire and that all those who had spent money would come knocking on the shop to see if the shopkeeper could still act arrogantly.

Instead of the pills backfiring, their value skyrocketed!
Just a few days ago, a record-breaking price of 300,000 yuan was achieved at auction in Jinyang City!

If I had known this would happen, I would have bought it and resold it instead of for my daughter, and made a fortune.

Unfortunately, the opportunity was missed, he failed to make any money, and his daughter complained when she found out.

Upon hearing the news of the pills going on sale, Goatee rushed over immediately, but his heart grew increasingly disheartened along the way—

The streets were packed with people from outside the city!
He had a bad feeling then, and now seeing the market so crowded that it was impossible for him not to feel regret.

Just then, he heard about his "glorious deeds," and his face turned red with embarrassment and anger.

Gritting his teeth, he finally turned and left, his back view exuding a sense of loss and frustration.

……

Xu Yihan looked at the two young men and women in the hall.

These are the brother and sister who wanted to become disciples. It is said that the breakthrough pill was bought by the brother for the sister. The sister successfully broke through and was both grateful and curious about the Immortal Sect. Since they were both independent cultivators, they thought of coming to become disciples.

Gao Qian is not very old, and for a rogue cultivator to have such talent is already quite outstanding.

"At your age and level of cultivation, whether or not you have a master is no longer so important. Why do you suddenly have this idea now?"

Xu Yihan asked them in a deep voice, sitting in the main seat, looking very dignified.

He can now stand normally and walk slowly with support, although he can't maintain it for long, but he just needs to practice slowly from now on.

But at least, he can now get out of his wheelchair.

Perhaps because he had spent too much time in a wheelchair, he threw the thing aside immediately after the medicinal bath, not wanting to look at it again.

He would rather walk slowly like a snail, holding onto the wall, than sit in a wheelchair and be comfortably pushed around by someone!
Therefore, Xu Yihan looked just like an ordinary person at this moment, with serious, upright and sharp features that made people afraid to look directly at him.

"us……"

Below, Gao Yan and Gao Qian, brother and sister, exchanged a glance, both looking somewhat uneasy.

Mo Jiuwei's voice appeared quietly—

【Of course, it's because I have enemies.】

[Gao Qian has caught the eye of the Lord of Jiachi City. If she doesn't seek protection from the Fang faction soon, he might forcibly seize her.]

Although her aptitude is good, she is not a child after all. Major sects are unwilling to accept her, and ordinary sects are also unwilling to let her in.

[Just as the Immortal Sect's reputation was soaring, they thought this was a decent backer, so they came to seek refuge with Liao.]

After being summoned, Mo Jiuwei sat in Chen Lan's lap, munching on a spirit fruit while glancing at the siblings below with her grape-like eyes.

Sects don't recruit disciples as charity. Their new disciples are all children. Besides their high intelligence and potential due to their young age, the main reason is that they are easy to "tame." Raising them from a young age cultivates their loyalty to the sect. This way, disciples dare not disobey any orders from the sect, and will even obediently carry out missions they know will lead to certain death.

But it's different if they accept adult disciples.

Just like many organizations that recruit workers, they don't accept those over a certain age, and only prefer to hire young people, even if they have no experience.

Is it because older people are in poor health or don't know how to work?

No.

The real reason is that young people are cheap and hardworking, like oxen and horses. On the other hand, older people are more cunning and rebellious, more likely to shirk their responsibilities and cheat others, and they don't fall for the empty promises made by those in power.

Therefore, Gao Qian knew that even if she joined another sect, she would only be a marginal figure. They might only assign her to do manual labor, but they wouldn't really treat her as one of their own and cultivate her properly.

Unlike other sects, the Immortal Sect has experienced hardships and is in dire need of manpower. If you surrender, you are very likely to be retained and given important responsibilities.

"I... to be honest, I've gotten myself into some trouble in Jiachi City. Someone wants to force me to be their concubine, but I refuse." After much hesitation, Gao Qian decided to tell the truth.

She simply concealed the person's identity, because a city lord was quite powerful, and she feared that the Immortal Sect might be wary of them and unwilling to accept her.

But Gao Qian had also made up her mind that she would not implicate the Xianlai Sect. If that person was really bold enough to come looking for her, she would leave with her brother and not bring any trouble to the Xianlai Sect.

"Don't worry, Jiachi City is far from here, so that person probably won't dare to come here," Gao Yan said hurriedly. "If he really does come, then my brother and I won't make things difficult for you."

These words earned them a higher regard from the members of the Immortal Sect.

I thought they would keep it a secret, but they actually revealed some things, which shows they have a good character.

"Junior Sister Jiuwei, do you still want the sect to recruit new members?" Chen Lan asked Mo Jiuwei as if joking.

The reason I invited her over was to get her opinion on this matter and see whether the two of them should accept the offer or not.

The main issue is that the timing is too sensitive; it's precisely when the Immortal Sect is being sought after by many.

If it were up to them, they wouldn't casually accept disciples at this critical juncture, lest they take in unscrupulous individuals who might cause trouble for the sect.

“Okay.” Mo Jiuwei nodded quickly.

These two are no ordinary people; they possess the bloodline of demigods.

[They started from a low point and faced many hardships along the way, but as long as they overcome them, they have a very high chance of successfully ascending.]

The term "half-immortal bloodline" refers to the fact that one of their ancestors successfully ascended to immortality.

Although it sounds mysterious, the truth is that people with the bloodline of a half-immortal are more likely to ascend to immortality than ordinary people, but they also encounter many obstacles.

Mo Jiuwei could tell that these two people had good character, and they were also people with great potential.

Staying in the Immortal Sect will only allow us to complement each other, rather than become a burden.

Upon hearing this, Xu Yihan was overjoyed.

Is this happening?

“In that case, you will be disciples of the Immortal Sect.” Xu Yihan made the decision immediately, only his raised eyebrows betraying his true emotions, his face still serious and calm. “Zhao Ning, you can take them to choose their living quarters later.”
