My path to immortality was smooth sailing.

"Little... Senior Brother Wei." Wei Santong's face turned bright red, and he was extremely excited.

Unexpectedly, Wei Jing, who farmed, weeded, caught insects, drank and chatted with them, turned out to be an inner disciple of the Qingfu Sect.

This, this, this is absolutely incredible.

Bai Tao even pinched himself hard.

"Well, since Steward Xie is so discerning and has no ill intentions towards my two elders, then I am relieved." Wei Jing reached out and took the waist token.

"Uncle Wei, Uncle Bai, you two can wander around some more! I have to go now, I'll find time to drink with you again later." Wei Jing nodded slightly to the two of them in greeting, then summoned the Cloud-Breaking Shuttle and soared into the sky.

Bai Tao craned his neck, staring in the direction where Tianji Weijing had disappeared, remaining lost in thought for a long time.

The onlookers were stunned.

"I thought these two old men with no status or position were going to be in trouble, but I didn't expect there to be a twist."

"Hey, these two guys are such a show-offs. They have a junior disciple from the inner sect, why didn't they just say so earlier? Why put on this whole charade?" The man shook his head and turned to leave.

After the onlookers left, Manager Xie, his large frame looming over, a sickening smile plastered on his face.

"Why don't you two move to Lai Fung Lou and have a couple of drinks together?"

"Oh dear! It's like the flood washed away the Dragon Gate Temple; it's all a misunderstanding."

Looking at that greasy smiling face, Wei Santong felt disgusted, immediately snorted coldly, and turned away.

He understood that if Wei Jing hadn't stood up for them today, they would have been severely humiliated and manipulated. So why would he give such a person a friendly look now?

"Old Bai, let's go."

……

"Sixth Master, during the months I've been in seclusion, has anything major happened inside or outside the sect?"

Wei Jing sat upright in the main seat, while Han Yue bowed his head to brew tea for him.

Ma Liuli stepped forward to report:

"Young Master Wei, there's nothing serious, but less than two years after Elder Ge personally wiped out a group of demonic sect members who dared to set foot in Wushan, the demonic sect seems to have made a comeback and infiltrated Wushan County."

Wei Jing frowned. Here we go again. It seems he never learns his lesson.

"A few small families were wiped out recently."

"Rumor has it that the leader of this team is the Core Formation Demon of the Blood Shadow Sect."

"Even the old demons at the Core Formation level have come." Wei Jing was surprised.

"It's just a rumor; no one has actually seen it," Han Yue interjected.

Wei Jing nodded and then asked, "Is there any news from inside the gate?"

"It's a major event within the sect. Jia Shangjin, Feng Baobao, and Nong Qingfeng have all formally applied for the True Inheritance Trial."

"If nothing unexpected happens, two of these three will master the true teachings," Ma Liu said, his face full of envy.

Upon hearing this, Wei Jing fell silent and took a sip of hot tea.

The number of true disciples is fixed at seven, but there are already five true disciples.

There should have been six true disciples, but unfortunately Lu Jingxing failed to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage recently, which not only damaged his Dao foundation but also caused him to lose his spot as a true disciple.

That's a huge loss.

"I heard that this Lu Zhenchuan is still very young, not even forty years old yet. I really don't know what he's in such a hurry for. If I were him, I would definitely spend five, six, seven or eight years carefully honing my skills at the Great Perfection of Qi Refining to improve my foundation and chances of Foundation Establishment."

Ma Liu sighed.

"These three are all among the top five in the inner sect, and their competition is sure to be very exciting."

"That'll be quite a show." Even Han Yue, who was usually silent and serious, was somewhat expectant and happy.

"It's just a pity that Senior Sister Lu is so engrossed in swordsmanship that she has no interest in vying for one of the only two true disciples. Otherwise, we would have been able to witness Senior Sister Lu's unparalleled swordsmanship." Ma Liu said with great regret.

"Why isn't Qu Sancun, the fourth-ranked disciple of the inner sect, participating?" Han Yue surprisingly joined the discussion with great interest.

Upon hearing him say such a thing, Wei Jing immediately burst out laughing.

Others may not know how Qu Sancun became the fourth-ranked member of the inner sect, but does he not know?

A Taoist master of the art of escape, he used his superb Five Elements Escape Technique to drag the Stone Spirit Puppet to its death.

If he were to fight someone of his own generation, he would surely be exposed within ten moves.

"Two spots?" Wei Jing narrowed his eyes. With a thought, a black stick the size of a bamboo skewer fell into his palm. Wei Jing tossed it up and down, as if he had made up his mind.

"Mazda 6!"

"Here!" Ma Liu immediately took a few steps forward.

How much wealth do we have now?

Uh, Ma Liu was puzzled. Why was Wei Shao asking this? Aren't the contribution points all in your identity token and the spirit stones all in your storage bag?

How would I know how much you have?

"Ahem! What I mean is, you calculate how many spirit stones we can get if we sell all the spirit fish in Jade Lake." A hint of embarrassment appeared on Wei Jing's face.

"I haven't calculated it in detail, but after deducting the amount to be handed over to the sect and the share given to Qu Sancun, it should be at least three or four thousand spirit stones!" Ma Liu scratched his head.

Han Yue said in a low voice, "Young Master Wei, the big bluefish in the lake need to be raised for three years to fully mature. It's only been two years now, so it's not time to sell them yet."

Wei Jing waved his hand and said in a deep voice, "I can't worry about that now. Sell them all and turn them into spirit stones. I have a very important use for them."

"this……"

Ma Liu and Han Yue exchanged a glance and both shrugged helplessly.

……

"What? You want to apply for the True Inheritance Trial?" The old deacon of the Transmission Hall was immediately shocked and stood up. He picked at his ears, thinking he had misheard.

"Yes, I want to apply for the True Inheritance Trial." Wei Jing nodded seriously.

Deacon Cui was somewhat incredulous, and he carefully examined Wei Jing.

I personally led this kid into the mountain gate, helped him with the registration procedures, and took him to the cave on Xiaozhu Peak.

How come it's only been two years, and he's about to advance to the level of a true disciple?

"You're no laughing matter, kid." Steward Cui stared at Wei Jing with a serious expression, and Wei Jing smiled wryly.

"Old deacon, how could I joke about something like this? Please register me!"

"Have you thought this through? If you fail the True Disciple Trial, you will automatically lose your status as an inner disciple," Deacon Cui reminded him. The True Disciple Trial is no joke; it is an extremely serious matter.

If inner disciples are the foundation of a sect, then true disciples are the future of a sect, the seeds for Core Formation.

After confirming several times, Steward Cui registered him and then announced the registration to the Fifth and Seventh Halls.

This year's battle for the true successor has one more participant, adding another element of uncertainty.

"Alright!" Steward Cui's eyes were complicated.

"Old steward, I've heard there's a second-tier body-forging technique on the fourth floor of the Transmission Hall. I'd like to go and observe it." Wei Jing handed over his identity token.

Then, with a pang of regret, he watched as a thousand sect contribution points were deducted from his account.

How could he not feel the pinch? This is the price of a top-grade spiritual artifact, and this is the spirit fish that Han Yue has painstakingly raised for two years!

"Go ahead! Good luck, kid."

Wei Jing took the waist token, hung it around his waist, and then slowly walked towards the fourth floor of the Transmission Hall.

Wei Jing was determined to obtain the second-order body-forging method.
