Li Changan followed Taoist Zhou to the end of the stairs and stopped in front of a door covered with vines.

Taoist Zhou said: "You stay here and don't wander around. This is my master's place of spiritual cultivation. I will go and return my life to my master first."

After hearing the first sentence, Li Changan felt that he was looking for an advantage. Forget it, I don't blame him. He waited for a long time with full expectations, and finally the Taoist turned around.

"Follow me."

Taoist Zhou took Li Changan through several courtyards and came to a simple wooden hall.

The Taoist priest pushed open the wooden door and led Li Changan inside.

Li Changan crossed the threshold and saw a middle-aged Taoist priest sitting cross-legged on a futon in the middle of the hall.

The Taoist priest wears a white jade lotus crown, has a Chinese character face, long eyebrows like swords, a three-locked beard, and a black Taoist robe. He has an extraordinary bearing.

Taoist Zhou bowed to the middle-aged Taoist and saluted. "Master, Li Changan brings you here."

Li Changan learned Taoist etiquette from Ling He and immediately saluted the middle-aged Taoist.

The Taoist waited for Li Changan to finish the ceremony, pointed to the futon next to him, and said to him: "Sit down and talk."

He then told Taoist Zhou: "Go out, close the door, stay outside the courtyard, and don't let anyone get close."

Taoist Zhou bowed in agreement, exited the hall, and closed the wooden door.

In the hall, only Li Changan and the middle-aged Taoist priest were left.

The middle-aged Taoist raised his hand and used a magic formula to prevent anyone from using magic to spy, and then said: "My Taoist name is Xuanxiao."

Li Changan was surprised by the identity of the person in front of him.

Ling He once introduced him to the Jiuxuan Sect. There is an expert in the Yuan Ying stage of the Jiuxuan Sect, who is the head of the Jiuxuan Sect.

Practitioners in the world today roughly divide the stages of cultivation into Qi nourishing, foundation building, golden elixir, and Nascent Soul. After achieving Nascent Soul and continuing to improve, you will achieve the path of immortality.

There are about twenty practitioners who can reach the Nascent Soul stage in this world, and a dozen of them are in the major sects of good and evil. This is an important reason why Jiuxuan Sect can become the only top sect in Taoism.
p>

Below those who practice in the Nascent Soul stage is the Golden Elixir stage.

There are eight masters of the Golden Core Stage in the Jiuxuan Sect, namely the six elders and the two disciples of the leader - Xuan Qing and Xuan Xiao.

Among them, Xuan Xiao is recognized as the most qualified and the most likely to be promoted to the Nascent Soul stage, so he is highly valued by the leader.

When Li Changan heard that the Taoist in front of him was the famous Xuan Xiao, he immediately bowed respectfully again. "This junior has seen a real person."

Xuan Xiao did not accept his courtesy this time, and moved his sleeves to support him.

"I heard that you failed the entrance examination?"

Li Changan said: "Juniors know that they are stupid."

Xuan Xiao said: "If I give you another chance, would you be willing?"

Li Changan knew that this kind of opportunity would not come out of thin air, and would probably involve many difficulties. However, having a chance is better than having no chance.

"Thank you so much for your help."

Xuan Xiao said: "I have an extremely difficult thing that needs to be done alone."

Li Changan understood what he said: "This junior is willing to do it."

Xuan Xiao said: "This matter is very dangerous. I will accept you as a registered disciple as a reward."

Li Changan understands that this is indeed a good opportunity, and danger is inevitable.

If he follows his originally designed future path, after taking the Jiuxuan Sect's entrance examination and reaching the early stage of Qi cultivation, he can become an outer disciple of the Jiuxuan Sect; after completing his Qi cultivation and entering the foundation building stage, he can become an inner disciple.

Inner disciples are also the end point of most disciples of the Jiuxuan Sect.

If you want to improve again, masters from the Golden Core stage will come to recruit disciples. Those chosen by God will be promoted to true disciples. Unfortunately, the probability of elimination is extremely high.

After all, the Nine Immortals Sect is a major sect, and there are only eight masters at the Golden Core stage.

Li Changan originally failed to pass the entrance examination, but now he has the opportunity to skip a level and be directly accepted as a disciple by a master of the Golden Core stage, which can be regarded as reaching the sky in one step. In order to have a chance of immortality, he decided to make a fortune.

"Juniors are not afraid of danger."

Xuan Xiao said: "Do you know the strongest sects of cultivating immortals in the world?"

Li Changan said: "The younger generation only knows that the Wei Dynasty had Jiuxuan Sect, Lingbao Sect, and Luojia Temple. Other than that, I don't know anything about it."

Xuan Xiao hummed, and then said: "The Great Wei State is considered the overlord of the Central Plains. There is the Great Wilderness State in the north of the Wei State, sixteen countries in the western region, and many small countries in the southern border. The southeast of the Wei State is the Endless Ocean.

There are many Taoist sects in the territory of the Wei Kingdom, including the Shi family, our Jiuxuan sect, Lingbao sect and Luojia'an, which are considered the strongest righteous cultivation sects. In addition, there are also some evil and heretical sects. Among them, the strength

The strongest ones are Changsheng Island and Jiyan Valley.

The Valley of Extreme Flames is located in the western border of Wei State and is suppressed by the Lingbao Sect. Changsheng Island is close to the Endless Ocean and is closest to us, so it is our great enemy.

I need to keep track of the trends on Changsheng Island, and I must have someone I can trust to lurk on Changsheng Island.

The methods of evil heretics are all kinds of strange and unbelievable. Those who go to Changsheng Island to lurk will encounter great dangers. Are you still willing to go?"

Li Changan wanted to say that he didn't want to go. After all, this was not an undercover job in a city drama, but an undercover job in an evil sect. Once there was danger, it would be very difficult to die.

But he failed to say no in the end.

After traveling here, he was determined to find a way to live forever. He worked hard to get an opportunity, how could he give up so easily because of the danger? Moreover, if he knew such a secret thing, could he really refuse it?

?

"Disciple is willing to go to Changsheng Island."

Xuan Xiao nodded and said: "Okay. Today, I will accept you as a registered disciple. I once asked Master to predict that in twenty years, there will be great changes in Changsheng Island. Twenty years from now, when you return after your achievements,

, I will accept you as an official disciple."

Li Changan's face is hot, but his heart is cold.

Xuan Xiao didn't hesitate, and immediately asked Li Chang'an to go through the apprenticeship ceremony according to the etiquette of the sect. In front of Li Chang'an, he carved Li Chang'an's name in the disciple's jade book.

Engraving names on a jade book is not only a ritual, but also a mysterious technique to increase the bond between the disciple and the master.

Li Changan became Xuan Xiao's registered disciple.

The two changed their names, and Xuan Xiao began to explain to Li Changan some common sense about cultivation and lurking.

Changsheng Island was founded by Demon Lord Wuji two hundred years ago. It has the shortest history among the major sects in the world. However, under the control of Demon Lord Wuji, Changsheng Island has become stronger and stronger and has become a famous demon sect.

.

Wuji Demon Lord himself has extraordinary talents and combines the strengths of several schools. He was promoted to the Nascent Soul stage forty years ago. In recent years, he has become more and more mysterious. Except for a few old monsters who have become ghost immortals or human immortals, no one knows him.

Dare to seize its edge lightly. Some masters in the Nascent Soul stage speculate that the Wuji Demon Lord may have some hidden powerful methods.

Xuan Xiao formulated a detailed undercover plan for Li Changan.

Every time he said a paragraph, he asked Li Changan to repeat it again until he confirmed that he had written down everything.

Li Changan asked Xuan Xiao to teach him some self-defense methods.

Xuan Xiao shook his head: "Chang'an, for your safety, you cannot practice any of our sect's techniques. However, if you want to go to Changsheng Island to be an undercover agent, you must have the qualifications to get started.

Therefore, I plan to give you the Lihuo Golden Body Technique. This technique was acquired by me in my early years. Because the technique is too extreme, I have never shown it to others. Remember the formula of this technique and dedicate it to immortality.

Island. They should include you to get started.

However, after you get started, you must strive to enter the sect of Wuji Demon Lord’s second disciple.”

After Li Changan memorized the formula of Lihuo Golden Body, he asked: "Master, practicing magic is harmful to yourself. Can I learn a skill to resist these harms?"

Shen Xiao pondered for a moment and said: "When I was promoted to the golden elixir stage, I realized a set of pure and delusion-breaking mantras. This skill is not beneficial to the growth of Taoism, but it is very helpful for getting rid of illusions and protecting the mind.
p>

No one knows this spell and can teach it to you. If you have no choice but to practice some sinister techniques, you can use this spell to protect yourself."

Li Changan kowtowed to Xuanxiao.

He has never started cultivating qi, so he can only memorize formulas.

For safety, he asked Xuan Xiao for some small self-defense techniques.

After careful consideration, Xuan Xiao selected some techniques that Li Changan could use and taught them together.

With some preparations in place, Xuan Xiao personally took Li Changan, quietly flew away from the Jiuxuan Sect, and pressed the sword light in a pavilion a hundred miles away from the Jiuxuan Sect.

He gave Li Changan some instructions and let him set off.

As a result, Li Changan was sent out of the mountain gate one day after entering.

Li Changan said goodbye to his master and walked for a while alone. When he looked back at the way he came, he could no longer see Xuan Xiao.

He knew how powerful practitioners were, so he didn't dare to reveal his true thoughts and only pretended to be reluctant to give up.

He had a very complicated impression of Xuan Xiao. Since his qualifications were not good, it was inevitable that he would not be taken seriously. However, being sent out as an undercover agent was something he did not expect.

Since leaving the Jiuxuan Sect, he has felt that the speed of space absorbing spiritual energy has slowed down significantly, but the advantage of space is that energy can continuously replenish himself. He just needs time to grow, but unfortunately...

No matter in the past life or in this life, it seems that I can't escape the fate arranged by others.

However, I will never follow the crowd this time.
