Forced to become a pure and innocent female pharmacist in order to cultivate immortality.

"Master, don't worry about it, just eat quickly," the Thunder Dragon Beast said hastily.

But the old man couldn't bring himself to swallow the pill, thinking that his old friend's lifespan was also running out.

Ye Liuyun could also see that the master and servant had a deep bond, and she chuckled.

"Senior, don't worry, I have another one here." Ye Liuyun handed another one to the old man.

Upon receiving the two Immortal Essence Pills, the old man immediately expressed his immense gratitude and excitement.

"Thank you, Sect Master. I will dedicate myself to the development of the sect in the future. I swear I will never betray the Longevity Sect," the old man said in a deep voice.

After speaking, the old man first gave one of the pills to the Thunder Dragon Beast, and then took the other one himself.

As they swallowed the pills, a burst of immortal energy quickly emanated from their bodies. The old man's body began to rejuvenate at a speed visible to the naked eye, as did the withered Thunder Dragon Beast.

The reason they look so old is simply because they don't have enough immortal energy to replenish their lifespan, not because they actually lack lifespan.

As their immortal veins were opened, the two of them quickly returned to their middle-aged appearance from being near death. From this point of view, they should have actually only used one-third of the lifespan of an Earth Immortal.

"Haha, strength." Chen Shanhe looked at his younger hands and his old partner who had become more imposing, and he knew that they were saved.

Chen Shanhe was a very refined-looking man; even in his middle age, he had the air of a scholar and a gentleman.

"Congratulations, senior, on your new life," Ye Liuyun quickly congratulated.

Chen Shanhe was at a loss for words to describe his excitement.

"Me." Chen Shanhe wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Ye Liuyun.

"Senior, there's no need to say much. From now on, we're all family. Actually, I'm not afraid to tell you that our Longevity Sect was only established not long ago. I needed people, so I set up a stall in the city to try my luck, but in reality, it was a scam," Ye Liuyun explained.

But Chen Shanhe doesn't think so.

"How can this be called deception? Sect Master, you gave me power, you gave me youth, and you even gave us, master and servant, a second life and a second chance. This is an incredible opportunity," Chen Shanhe said solemnly.

Ye Liuyun sighed heavily, thinking to himself that the difference between someone who had just arrived in the Immortal Realm and someone who had been there for a long time was enormous.

"Senior." Ye Liuyun wanted to say something.

"No, Sect Master, I am just a disciple now. In the Immortal Realm, age doesn't matter." Chen Shanhe quickly corrected Ye Liuyun.

Ye Liuyun didn't dwell on this issue.

"Alright, fellow Daoist, how long have you been in the Immortal Realm? It must have been a long time, right?" Ye Liuyun asked.

Chen Shanhe thought for a moment.

"If we consider the timeline of the Immortal Realm, I should be an ascendant from around the early ancient period in the lower realm," Chen Shanhe replied after a moment's thought.

Ye Liuyun was shocked. This was a true ancestor of the human race, but he didn't expect him to be doing so poorly in the Immortal Realm.

"Then, fellow Daoist, which plane of the lower realm do you come from? Perhaps we are from the same hometown," Ye Liuyun asked again.

There are countless lower realms. If you can meet an ascended being from one of those realms in the Immortal Realm, you can indeed call them fellow countrymen.

“Oh, I come from the Tianhe Star Region in the lower realm,” Chen Shanhe replied.

Ye Liuyun had only asked casually, but he was stunned when he heard that the other person was actually from his hometown.

"Wow, you're from my hometown! I also ascended from the Tianhe Star Region, all three of us did," Ye Liuyun introduced himself happily.

When Donghuang and Yueshen heard that Ye Liuyun was from the Tianhe Star Region, they were equally surprised. Although the current Immortal Realm is connected to many planes, it was originally located in the Tianhe Star Region, so in a sense, they were fellow countrymen.

"Eh, the sect leader is also an ascendant from the Tianhe Star Region, a human cultivator from the Burial God Star?" Chen Shanhe was equally surprised.

Ye Liuyun smiled and nodded.

“That’s right, I am a cultivator from the Burial God Star. By the way, since you are a cultivator from the Milky Way Star Region, where is your Heavenly Emperor?” Ye Liuyun asked curiously.

Upon hearing this, Chen Shanhe let out another long sigh.

"Alas! A hero doesn't dwell on past glories. I, or rather, my disciple, was once titled the Mountain and River Heavenly Emperor, but I didn't leave behind any lineage. Later cultivators probably don't know about it," Chen Shanhe explained.

This is normal. In the human era, those whose lineage can be traced have left behind a lineage. Those who did not leave behind a lineage are difficult to know because the era is too long ago.

“Oh, is that so? Well, I’m not really sure about that. But my Longevity Sect just happens to need an elder like you, Fellow Daoist. To be honest, I don’t have much experience in managing a sect,” Ye Liuyun said.

"Haha, don't worry, this disciple will definitely do his best to help you, Sect Master. Experience is good for the Longevity Sect, but shouldn't it still be the time to recruit disciples?" Chen Shanhe asked.

Ye Liuyun nodded.

"good."

“Well, why don’t you leave the task of recruiting disciples to me? To be honest, I may not have many other skills, but I do have some talent for persuasion. Given the current situation of the sect, I’m afraid we’ll have to use some tricks to get people to join,” Chen Shanhe said.

These words are contrary to Ye Liuyun's own thoughts. Isn't she just recruiting people by deceiving them?

"Alright, alright, actually we're just bluffing right now. Including you, we've already recruited almost thirty people. There should be more people coming to become our disciples today, so I'll leave that to you. I need to go back to refining medicine. I'll come out again tonight, once we've recruited enough people, to explain the situation to everyone. Don't tell the truth at the beginning," Ye Liuyun reminded him.

Chen Shanhe stroked his beard.

"Haha, don't worry, I'm not senile yet. Watch me," Chen Shanhe said confidently.

When someone volunteered to take on the task of convincing disciples to join the sect, Liu Su and the others were naturally happy to have an easy time. At the same time, they also wanted to see how good Chen Shanhe was at talking.

Before long, more people came to ask to become my apprentices.

Chen Shanhe's role also came into play.

"Gentlemen, behold my skills." Chen Shanhe mounted his mount and flew to the mountain gate.

This guy now exudes the air of a reclusive sage, a completely different person from his previous appearance when he was on the verge of death.

Chapter 925 They're all talented! (5K)

Chen Shanhe stood at the main gate, patiently waiting for the cultivators who came to become his disciples.

This time, five people came together to become her disciples, and they looked quite familiar. Weren't they the same people who came to the Immortal Realm a month ago to try and rob her? They actually came here as well.

"I'm exhausted, boss. We've arrived. This should be the Longevity Sect that Sister Donkey mentioned, right? Do you think the Longevity Sect will accept us? We've been to several immortal sects, and they all said our aptitude wasn't good enough." The group said breathlessly as they walked.

But the big guy didn't think so.

"Damn it, their aptitude is terrible. They were all supreme beings in the lower realms, and their aptitudes are about the same. We've just been in the immortal realm for too long and we're getting old. Haven't you noticed that the disciples recruited by those immortal sects either have truly rare physiques or are people who have only recently ascended to the immortal realm?" The big guy walking at the front of the group complained.

That's true. Those who can ascend to the Immortal Realm, especially the supreme cultivators of the lower realms, are generally similar in their comprehension. The only difference is their special abilities, but these special abilities are not very useful in the Immortal Realm.

These immortal sects are well aware that cultivators who have been in the immortal realm for a long time, especially former supreme beings, if they have stayed for decades or even centuries without opening their immortal meridians, it means that their vigor has faded and they have lost the ambition they once had when they descended to the mortal realm. Recruiting such disciples would be very troublesome.

Therefore, they basically do not want Earth Immortal cultivators who have not opened their Immortal Veins within the past fifty years, let alone Divine Human cultivators.

"What 'Donkey Sister'? Didn't he say he only transformed into a woman? He's actually a male donkey. Hey, look, there's someone waiting for us at the door, riding on a Thunder Dragon Beast. Looks like they must be a master from the Longevity Sect." The big man said with a happy expression after seeing Chen Shanhe.

Chen Shanhe's image is there; just by looking at his appearance, one can convince people.

The five of them arrived in front of Chen Shanhe, panting heavily.

"Greetings, senior. We, the five brothers, have come to become your disciples under the guidance of a master. Are you a senior from the Longevity Sect?" the big man asked.

Chen Shanhe stroked his beard and then laughed.

"Since you have come to my Longevity Sect, it is fate. Go in, and you will be guided at the end of the stairs."

Chen Shanhe glanced at these people and knew they were seasoned veterans who had been in the Immortal Realm for a long time. Such cultivators were already doing well to join an Immortal Sect, so they wouldn't be picky and there was no need to deceive them.

The five people looked extremely surprised. They were just trying their luck. Even if they weren't chosen, they wouldn't lose anything. At most, they would just have to go back to Luofan City.

"Thank you, thank you." The five people walked into the gate of the Longevity Sect with great excitement. After they climbed the steps, they saw Black Ox and the others at the end of the steps.

Upon seeing the black bull, the five men immediately showed expressions of joy.

"Brother Donkey, we're here! You really didn't lie to us!" the five said excitedly.

Liu Su looked at the group of people in front of her and then quickly looked at Hei Niu.

"Hey? Brother Black Bull, did you recruit those five?" Liu Su asked.

Black Bull chuckled.

“That’s right. These five are destined to be with me and my master. Zou Mingyun, come quickly. I told you, as long as you come, you will definitely be able to join the immortal sect. Sister Liusu, please register these five.” Black Ox said.

Since they were recruited by Black Bull, Liu Su didn't think much of it and immediately asked for their names and wrote them down.

The five of them were so moved that they almost cried when they learned that they were now disciples of the Longevity Sect.

You know, they were all once supreme beings in the lower realms. If they hadn't ended up in such dire straits, how could they be doing such shameful things in Luofan City?

However, none of the five of them had ever actually killed anyone; at most, they had only robbed and stolen things.

Black Bull's recruitment targets were all local thugs and ruffians in Luofan. His reasoning was simple: since he didn't know how to recruit them anyway, he might as well find a specific group. Besides, he believed that if he could turn bad people into good people, it would be a good thing.

The disciples recruited by Liusu are mostly kind-hearted people. They may seem ordinary, but they are definitely all kind-hearted.

As for how to determine whether someone is kind-hearted, it's not difficult; there are many ways.

The three of them are: one specializes in recruiting kind-hearted people, one specializes in recruiting evil-doers, Ye Liuyun recruits randomly, and Donghuang and Yueshen specialize in recruiting people with abundant blessings.

There are four completely different recruitment methods, and the people recruited are also different.

After Zou Mingyun and his group of five joined the group, more people arrived. This time, it was a middle-aged couple who had been recruited by Liu Su.

The Eastern Emperor and the Moon Goddess looked at the recruited disciples with bewilderment, because they found that these people were all the kind with very low fortune, meaning they had very bad luck.

"Strange, every single one of these people has below-average luck and fortune. Those three really know how to pick people. Even if I were to search, I would have a hard time finding so many unlucky souls in such a short time," Donghuang complained.

Indeed, from Donghuang's perspective, none of Chen Shanhe and his group have any good fortune, and they may not even have a chance to turn things around.

Fate and cause and effect are invisible forces that determine the fate of living beings. They are found everywhere in the world and are said to be part of the Way of Heaven, but the Way of Heaven cannot interfere with the operation of cause and effect and fate.

Theoretically speaking, a person with very bad luck cannot achieve anything unless a mysterious powerful being can intervene in cause and effect. However, the Sun Celestial Venerable told the Eastern Emperor that even he could not directly intervene in fate and cause and effect because these two forces are independent of the Pangu Great World and come from the power of outer space.

However, since the Celestial Venerables are not affected by cause and effect or fate, they believe that this may be the original power of a certain Celestial Venerable, because almost all Celestial Venerables are sources and are also called the original incarnations.

Take, for example, the Celestial Venerable of All Laws. He is the embodiment of the Great Dao, and it is because of him that all living beings in the world are able to cultivate themselves into immortals.

"What exactly is going on? Could it be that some Celestial Venerable is secretly changing the fate of these people? Who is it? Isn't it said that Celestial Venerables cannot directly interfere with the operation of this world?" Donghuang couldn't understand.

Then look at Dugu Tianxiang. After observing for a while, this woman finally decided to infiltrate the Changsheng Sect. She transformed into a woman in her early twenties wearing a green dress and arrived at the main gate of the Changsheng Sect.

Dugu Tianxiang's arrival was immediately noticed by Donghuang and the Moon Goddess.

"She's here," Donghuang said softly.

"Hehe, we can't understand Miss Ye's alchemy skills, and she probably can't see through them either. Given her personality, she'll definitely want to come and see. But judging from her appearance, she probably wants to infiltrate the Longevity Sect to learn Miss Ye's alchemy skills. I never thought that our Medicine God of the Eastern Heavenly Court would have such a day." The Moon Goddess said with a smile.

Because Dugu Tianxiang's status in the Heavenly Court was quite special, he could be described as a very aloof Heavenly Emperor.

When Chen Shanhe saw Dugu Tianxiang arrive, his eyes lit up. This guy's eyesight was really sharp. Although Dugu Tianxiang had changed her appearance, the invisible noble aura around her told him that the newcomer was no ordinary person.

That's the benefit of living a long life.

"Senior, I have come to pay my respects. I wonder if your sect would be willing to take me in?" Dugu Tianxiang cupped her hands in greeting to Chen Shanhe.

Chen Shanhe was taken aback.

"Fellow Daoist, why don't you ask first what kind of benefits you receive if you join our Longevity Sect?" Chen Shanhe countered.

Dugu Tianxiang didn't waste any more words.

"I find this place secluded and quiet. I enjoy alchemy and prefer tranquil places. I think this place is quite nice. As for the treatment, I don't care," Dugu Tianxiang said.

Upon hearing this, Chen Shanhe didn't ask any further questions. He simply nodded to Dugu Tianxiang, indicating that she could go in.

"Since that's the case, I'll say it again: coming to my Longevity Sect is fate. Please come in," Chen Shanhe said with a slight smile.

He had thought he would have to use his words, but to his surprise, it was all so easy.

So Dugu Tianxiang went directly into the Changsheng Sect and soon arrived in front of Liusu and the others. However, after arriving here, Dugu Tianxiang couldn't help but glance at Donghuang and Yueshen.

Although she couldn't discern their original forms, she was, after all, a Celestial Lord of the Heavenly Court, and could still sense some unusual circumstances.

Dugu Tianxiang didn't say much. After giving her name, she entered the Changsheng Sect. She had already figured out the situation of the Changsheng Sect, so she wasn't surprised. Instead, she quietly followed Liusu's directions to her residence.

After a few waves of relatively normal beginners arrived, finally some cultivators who needed to be fooled came. These cultivators who needed to be fooled were basically recruited by the Eastern Emperor and the Moon Goddess.

This time, Chen Shanhe's silver tongue came in handy. His way of persuading people was roughly the same as Ye Liuyun's: only mentioning the advantages and not the disadvantages, using the tiger's skin as a banner, promising the future, and drawing a pie in the sky with a single sentence.

Chen Shanhe knew very well that once these people agreed to join the Longevity Sect, even if they later found out they had been tricked, there was nothing they could do but accept their fate.

In the blink of an eye, another day has come to an end. Today, even more people joined the Longevity Sect, bringing the total to forty-five.

It can be said that no one who comes to the Longevity Sect ever returns the way they came.

After dusk, Chen Shanhe gathered all the new disciples who had joined that day together.

"Everyone, please hear me out. Out of respect for fellow Daoists, the sect leader has allowed you to join the Longevity Sect. After all, no sect is without its drawbacks and advantages," Chen Shanhe said.
