The fortune telling was so accurate that I accidentally accumulated a huge amount of merit!

Chapter 1024: Is this something you can just dabble in?! (2 updates)
Watching the ginseng fruit fly away, Xuan Chu wondered if it was just his imagination, but he felt a strange increase in the pressure on him.

The tree spirit soon emerged; her clothes were originally made of tree leaves and bark.

She was wearing the clothes that Ginseng Fruit had bought from a local shop.

These clothes looked somewhat out of place on Yunran and Xuanchu.

But when worn by the tree spirit, it looked perfectly natural, truly befitting a 'local'.

As soon as the tree spirit appeared, Xuan Chu and Long Ling sensed her aura, which was the same as that of the tree spirit in the courtyard.

A look of astonishment flashed across Long Ling's eyes. It turned out that the tree was not gone because it had been dug up, but because she had transformed into human form.

Looking at the young woman in front of him, Long Ling felt that she didn't match the temperament of the big tree from before.

The tree spirit knelt down abruptly when it was still some distance away from Ancestor Qingyangzi and the others.

"Green Wutong bows in gratitude for the immortal's guidance."

As she spoke, clusters of green light flew out from her head and flew straight toward Ancestor Qingyangzi.

Xuan Chu was still a little confused about what this was about. Although he was from Tiandao Village, he had seen very few powerful demons that could transform into human form.

Long Ling's expression, however, was rather serious.

Clearly, he knew what this guy named Green Willow was doing; he wanted to offer his soul to the ancestor.

To put it bluntly, she wanted to become the ancestor's servant.

For a powerful demon, voluntarily signing a contract is already a very rare thing.

Not to mention, if you voluntarily become a servant, then your life and death are truly in the hands of the other party's whim.

In the realm of demons, this kind of behavior is considered quite degrading.

However, if that person is actually an immortal, then it's not a loss of face, but rather an increase in their own value.

Just like in ancient times, the servants of high-ranking officials were more respectable than some low-ranking officials when they came out.

If one of the parties involved in all of this were not the patriarch of Qingfeng Temple, but someone else...

At most, Long Ling could only sigh and think that this great demon was indeed quite clever.

But now, Long Ling is a little angry!
He didn't even have the chance to be the ancestor's dog before, but this guy offered his soul without even getting the ancestor's consent. This is blatant moral blackmail!

Without a second thought, Long Ling attacked, swatting away the Green Wutong soul that was drifting toward Ancestor Qingyangzi with a single palm strike.

He immediately started cursing: "You shameless bastard, how dare you try to associate yourself with our ancestor!"

Long Lingcai refused to admit that he was simply jealous; if he couldn't have it, no one else should be allowed to have it either!
In any case, no one is allowed to overstep his authority; otherwise, where would he put his face?
At this moment, Long Ling's mind was filled with the thought of not letting Lv Wu sneak into their base. With him around, they had to guard it closely.

This competitive spirit directly overwhelmed his previous fear of the ancestors.

Perhaps, in Long Ling's heart, knowing that these people were the patriarchs of Qingfeng Temple, he subconsciously had a high degree of trust in them.

There's no need to worry about exposing your identity as a dragon spirit and attracting unwanted attention.

They are not worried about being punished for doing something inappropriate.

All of this stemmed from Long Ling's trust in Yun Ran, which had reached a level that even he himself could not have imagined.

Now, this trust has naturally extended to Yunran's sect, as well as her elders and fellow disciples.

Long Ling's rash attack in front of Qing Yangzi would be considered an overstepping of authority and a grave act of treason by other prominent Xuanmen families. However, in Qing Yangzi's eyes, this became an advantage for Long Ling.

Ancestor Qingyangzi clearly appreciates this genuine nature.

Originally, his impression of the Dragon Spirit was rather lukewarm, but now, Ancestor Qingyangzi is finally somewhat satisfied with it.

Long Ling was very perceptive. Although Ancestor Qingyangzi's reaction was very faint, Long Ling still clearly sensed the change.

Then, he instantly understood why Qingfeng Temple was able to produce a disciple like Yunran.

Long Ling's eyes darted around.

If he wanted to become his junior uncle's apprentice before, it was purely because he wanted to learn some magic from him.

Now, he really wants to enter Qingfeng Temple. With his talent, even if he can't enter the core disciples' circle, he can at least enter the middle level.

He had a premonition that if he became a disciple of Qingfeng Temple, he would live a completely different life.

However, before he could even take action, he heard Ancestor Qingyangzi say, "You little mudfish, you are clever, but you are too rebellious and need more training!"

Upon hearing this, Long Ling immediately knelt down with joy.

He's not afraid of being tested; if it were a human, they probably wouldn't be able to withstand such a trial.

After all, their lifespans are far too short.

But Long Ling is different. He can live for a very long time and be trained at will, as long as he has the opportunity to become a disciple of Qingfeng Temple.

"Thank you for your guidance, Ancestor."

Xuan Chu was somewhat envious of Long Ling at this moment, but that was all he felt. He never considered betraying his sect.

Even if Qingfeng Temple is very good, their Tiandao Village is also very good.

The soul that Green Wutong offered was slapped away by Dragon Spirit, who also scolded Green Wutong.

She felt a little embarrassed, but dared not refute him.

Even if she was enlightened by a celestial being, she still couldn't compare to the Dragon Spirit.

Qingyangzi glanced at Lvwu: "I enlightened you as a matter of course. I also got the information I wanted from you. Now, you are free. Your decision to stay or leave is up to you."

Not to mention that he has been an immortal for many years and his disciples would never take in these great demons.

Even the other members of Qingfeng Temple, if they were here now, would not easily form any kind of contract with a powerful demon.

Once a contract is formed, it means that one must bear a portion of the other party's karma.

If you can't fully control the situation or ensure the other party won't do anything outrageous, signing a contract casually is just asking for trouble.

Green Willow felt a little disappointed when it heard Qingyangzi's refusal.

She also thought that since this immortal was so powerful, if she became his servant, she wouldn't have to worry about being harmed.

Ginseng Fruit, quite perceptive, stepped forward and dragged Green Willow away.

Whether she wants to stay or leave, she can't just stay here and get in the way after the ancestor has spoken.

The spirit of the divine cauldron, who had been playing dumb all along, thought that there was nothing more for him to do here.

But to everyone's surprise, it was proven wrong the very next second.
