Who taught him to practice swordsmanship like this?

Su Baichen was the first one called up, and naturally, the first one to make a choice.

He ignored Xuan Yin Zhenren's direction and went straight to Wu Feng Jian Lao's place.

Qing Fenghan, who was watching from a distance, was practically numb. This didn't seem to be the way it was supposed to be.

"Uncle Wufeng, I am very grateful to Senior Brother Han for his careful guidance these past few days... However, I don't seem to be very good at swordsmanship."

The Swordless Elder nodded calmly: "Make your own choice."

How could he not know about Su Baichen's situation? He just couldn't bring himself to say it.

Seeing Su Baichen politely offering him a way out, he was actually very pleased.

Even if you don't join the Sword Sect, you can still exchange ideas with the disciples of the Sword Sect in your daily life. Don't let your Everlasting Sword Qi go to waste.

Su Baichen bowed in agreement and thanked him.

Then he looked at Master Kaiyang and said, "Palace Master, I am deeply grateful to Senior Brother Fenglinzi for his guidance. I have also benefited greatly from his teachings these past few days. I have great respect for him and only wish to enter the Yinfu Sect to cultivate."

Master Kaiyang stroked his beard and chuckled warmly: "Then go and pay your respects to your future master, Master Xuanyin."

Su Baichen immediately bowed respectfully to Xuan Yin Zhenren, and then solemnly said, "Greetings, Master."

Master Xuan Yin gave a smile: "You're very good. Stand behind me for now, and we'll arrange for you to formally become a disciple when we get back."

Su Baichen then happily stood behind Xuan Yin Zhenren.

He finally breathed a sigh of relief. The tense situation three months ago had made him very nervous, but now he could finally relax.

He doesn't care if these big shots make a fuss, but he doesn't want to get involved.

With Su Baichen as a reference, those who followed naturally learned from him.

Everyone expressed their gratitude to the teachers or those who had guided them to the path over the past few days before they began the actual selection process.

For a moment, everyone was friendly and polite, and the atmosphere couldn't be better.

Master Kaiyang nodded in satisfaction, feeling that this batch of disciples had made a good start.

He was extremely satisfied with Su Baichen. Regardless of what the future held, Su Baichen was currently the most outstanding among this group of disciples.

This performance can also serve as a good example for the remaining outer disciples, giving them more motivation in their future lives.

Of the six disciples, Su Baichen joined the Yin Fu Sect, Wang Xingyuan chose the Sword Sect, and of the remaining four, three chose the Yang Dan Sect, while the last one joined the Five Elements Sect.

This ratio is not surprising, after all, Master Kaiyang is still the palace master, and he always has an advantage in terms of disciple resources.

After everyone dispersed, Su Baichen and Wang Xingyuan exchanged glances and then followed Xuan Yin Zhenren outside.

They look like they're leaving Changchun Palace?

"This Changchun Palace is the headquarters of the Yang Sect and the Array Weapon Sect. My Yin Fu Sect has a separate headquarters."

Of course, it's not far away.

As they were talking, they arrived at the door and met Feng Linzi who was waiting there.

"Senior brother!"

Su Baichen greeted him happily.

Feng Linzi nodded gently.

Master Xuanyin said with satisfaction, "Fenglinzi is my most satisfied disciple, and you are my most promising disciple. Seeing that you two get along well, I am very pleased."

Su Baichen and Feng Linzi quickly chimed in with a few words, and then went outside with Xuan Yin Zhenren.

Standing outside Changchun Palace, Master Xuanyin suddenly recited an incantation.

Suddenly, a plume of smoke appeared on the horizon and landed in front of Su Baichen, transforming into a faintly visible dragon-horse... It had horns on its head and scales on its back, clearly an extraordinary creature.

Xuan Yin Zhenren broke off a tree branch from the roadside and threw it on the ground...

The next moment, the branch twisted and grew rapidly, eventually forming a carriage!

Su Baichen was greatly shocked, then curiously leaned closer...

"How did you figure that out?"

Feng Linzi was more curious about Su Baichen's reaction; this child seemed to be able to see the profound mystery of Xuan Yin Zhenren's secret techniques.

Su Baichen touched the carriage wall and said with a puzzled look, "Something's not right. This looks fake, but why does it feel so real?"

Master Xuan Yin was also surprised: "You could tell?"

Su Baichen shook his head: "I can't tell, but I can feel it."

Feng Linzi now understood why Su Baichen was able to easily pass through the woods in front of Changchun Palace; he could probably truly ignore these illusions!

Master Xuan Yin was genuinely overjoyed this time: "Wonderful! Bai Chen, you should be my disciple!"

Seeing Su Baichen's puzzled expression, Feng Linzi explained, "You only know that our Yin Sect is skilled in talismans, but you don't know that's just a skill we use to make a living. Our Yin Sect's true specialty is actually illusion magic!"

"You have a natural talent for seeing through illusions, even illusions as realistic as your master's. That's an exceptional talent for illusions!"

Master Xuanyin said, "Alright, get in the car first, we'll talk again when we get back to the sect."

Su Baichen followed along and got into the carriage out of curiosity, extremely curious about this carriage formed by illusion.

But as soon as he settled in, the divine steed outside let out a roar and pulled the three of them into the sky.

Su Baichen asked, "Is this horse also an illusion? No, it doesn't look like one!"

Feng Linzi said, "This is the Illusionary Bright Dragon Steed raised by my master. It has a trace of true dragon bloodline and is extraordinary."

Su Baichen thought it was impressive, but when he looked out the car window... his face turned pale and his limbs went weak.

Because Changchun Palace had shrunk to a tiny dot by now, and they had arrived at an altitude of 10,000 meters!

If Su Baichen had never been to such a height, he wouldn't have realized that he had such a severe fear of heights...

He quickly looked away, not daring to look outside, and lowered his head like a quail.

The other two exchanged a smile and said nothing more, since they believed they would get used to this kind of thing.

In less than a quarter of an hour, Su Baichen felt the altitude dropping rapidly.

Once the carriage had come to a stop, Feng Linzi said, "Let's get out, we've arrived."

Su Baichen obediently got out of the car, and felt incredibly at ease when his feet touched solid ground.

He looked curiously at the elusive Phantom Dragon Steed, and then at the carriage which had returned to being a tree branch. He found it all very strange... what seemed like an illusion was actually real, while the carriage, which looked like a real object, was fake.

Su Baichen looked at his location again and saw that it was a wasteland.

All that could be seen was a pile of rubble; there was no sign of any sect.

However, he heard the sound of waves crashing on the shore, and the wind carried the salty smell of the sea.

Su Baichen realized something and curiously walked towards the direction of the sound of the waves...

Then, as if sensing something, a vague outline appeared in my mind.

He walked over and found that there was a cliff in front of him, and the sea was below the cliff.

Then he turned to his master and senior brother and asked, "Here?"

Master Xuanyin smiled with satisfaction.

Feng Linzi then made two hand gestures with his fingers interlaced.

The next moment, a majestic pavilion burst into Su Baichen's sight like a giant beast, filling his entire field of vision.
