My Five Bigshot Seniors: I am The Most Coddled Junior!-Chapter 335 - 15: The Eve Before Accepting Disciples [First Update]

Chapter 335: Chapter 15: The Eve Before Accepting Disciples [First Update]

When a person is focused on doing one thing, time always seems to fly by.

Since deciding to enhance their cultivation, Mu Chen and his companions have rooted themselves in the Sunset Mountain Range, battling spirit beasts daily. Thus, four months have passed.

During this period, Si Lin and others have ascended to the Immortal Realm. However, only Nan Hua and Mu Chen were relatively close, using some means to find Mu Chen and reunite with them, while the others were scattered across the Immortal Realm.

Although they couldn’t reunite completely, both Mu Chen and his senior brothers are exceptionally talented people. Such individuals will shine wherever they go, but because they’ve just ascended to the Immortal Realm, their foundations are relatively shallow and remain unnoticed.

Nan Hua is an Array Master who once, by chance, obtained a heritage. Compared to Mu Chen’s heritage, it is slightly inferior, but enough for him to cultivate to the Immortal Emperor level.

The heritage contained numerous arrays, which appeared in his mind after he ascended to the Immortal Realm.

After reuniting with them, Nan Hua specifically set up a Gathering Immortal Array in their courtyard to accelerate their cultivation speed, gathering the surrounding Immortal Qi to their courtyard. Thus, the Immortal Qi in their courtyard was denser than elsewhere, speeding up their cultivation.

Additionally, battling spirit beasts in the Sunset Mountain Range consumed a lot of Immortal Qi, and then cultivating further increased their speed.

Thus, on the eve of Langya Immortal Sect’s disciple recruitment, Mu Chen and his companions had advanced to mid-level Heavenly Immortal.

For people of their age, even those born in the Immortal Realm couldn’t cultivate as fast, let alone their ascent from the Sub-immortal Realm, which was quite astonishing.

At least when Ye Wanwan and the others learned of Mu Chen’s cultivation level, they were deeply shocked.

"Mu Chen, did you really ascend from the Lower Realm? Why do I feel like your cultivation speed is faster than those of us who grew up in the Immortal Realm?" Ye Wanwan always thought her talent was decent. Although she couldn’t compare to her third brother Ye Tingwen, she was enough to stand out among her peers.

Now, seeing Mu Chen’s rapid cultivation speed, she felt struck.

Mu Chen glanced at her, not wanting to answer such a silly question.

Ye Wanwan also realized she had asked a pointless question. The fact that Mu Chen ascended from the Lower Realm was common knowledge in Purple Sunset City, and if Mu Chen hadn’t ascended from the Lower Realm, she wouldn’t have remained unnoticed for so many years.

"Mu Chen, you always tell me, you wouldn’t happen to be the reincarnation of some Immortal Realm powerhouse or the Heavenly Dao’s favored daughter? Otherwise, how could you be so formidable?" Ye Wanwan’s eyes sparkled as she looked at Mu Chen, as if expecting Mu Chen to affirm her guess.

To this, Mu Chen only gave a light-hearted roll of her eyes.

"Alright, I understand, you’re not like us ordinary people." Ye Wanwan’s face fell, shrugging her shoulders.

"Wanwan, you’re also excellent, no need to belittle yourself. Besides, if I were truly some powerhouse’s reincarnation, what about my senior brothers and husband? Their cultivation speed is equally fast." Mu Chen noticed Ye Wanwan was genuinely affected and consoled her.

Upon hearing this, Ye Wanwan glanced at Jun Wu and the others, feeling another blow.

She suddenly became curious about the kind of sect Mu Chen had in the Lower Realm. How could her senior brothers be so outstanding and so handsome?

If Mu Chen had grown up in the Immortal Realm, she would have already been selected as a direct disciple by the Four Great Immortal Sects—an absolute meteoric rise.

"Your talent is so remarkable. This time, when Langya Immortal Sect recruits disciples, they’ll certainly choose you." Ye Wanwan felt excited and a little envious.

After all, it’s one of the Four Great Immortal Sects. Even though the Ye Family is one of the three major families in Purple Sunset City, compared to the colossal Langya Immortal Sect, it’s still too weak.

"Your third brother’s talent is also excellent, he’ll surely be selected, too. Wanwan, if you work hard, you’ll be chosen in the future too." Mu Chen patted Ye Wanwan’s arm and said.

He knew a bit about Ye Tingwen’s talent. It was similar to his senior brothers. As long as there were no issues with the Chao Map in the Wolf Fang Cave, they would certainly get in.

Ye Wanwan’s talent was also good, but she was still uncertain about Langya Immortal Sect’s recruitment standards and couldn’t guarantee Ye Wanwan would be selected.

Nevertheless, this didn’t prevent him from comforting Ye Wanwan.

Ye Wanwan, being a native of the Immortal Realm, knew far more about Langya Immortal Sect than Mu Chen did. Knowing Mu Chen was trying to comfort her, she didn’t say much more.

"I’ve come mainly to tell you about Langya Immortal Sect’s disciple recruitment." He cleared his throat, speaking with great seriousness.

Hearing this, Gu Qingqing and the others were a bit surprised. They exchanged glances and then turned to look at Ye Wanwan.

"Is there anything specific we need to pay attention to?" Gu Qingqing asked curiously.

During their time in the Sub-immortal Realm, the Lingxi Sacred Land also held disciple recruitment tests at intervals, so they were somewhat familiar with these matters. They just didn’t know if the sects in the Immortal Realm were the same as the Lingxi Sacred Land.

"Of course. The Langya Immortal Sect is, after all, one of the four great Immortal Sects. The recruitment times for the four great Immortal Sects are different. The Langya Immortal Sect recruits disciples once every three years, and the methods are different each time. Sometimes they hold competitions, while other times they select a place for everyone to enter and train together. It’s said that this year it will be divided into three stages, with the first stage being the testing of talent or aptitude," Ye Wanwan said as she sipped from a cup on the table.

"Testing aptitude? How is that done?" Gu Qingqing, having heard of this for the first time, couldn’t help but feel curious.

"The four great Immortal Sects have their own Immortal Artifacts to test a person’s aptitude. To enter the four great Immortal Sects, the minimum aptitude requirement is above average," Ye Wanwan explained patiently to Gu Qingqing.

"That seems a bit biased," Gu Qingqing frowned, thinking this method wasn’t particularly appropriate.

"I understand what you mean. You think that some people might not have good aptitude but could be outstanding in other areas, making this method seem unfair. But not everyone with mediocre aptitude achieves great things, so this rule applies to most people," Ye Wanwan explained seriously to Gu Qingqing.

Gu Qingqing thought about it and agreed, so she didn’t speak further.

"The details of the second and third stages aren’t clear yet. But it’s said that several prominent figures from the Langya Immortal Sect will be recruiting, making it more grand than before. This will attract more people who want to join, increasing the competition," Ye Wanwan said, sounding a bit worried.

She naturally had confidence in her third brother. But just in case, if he didn’t get accepted into the Langya Immortal Sect, the outcome for the Ye Family was imaginable.

"Don’t worry, the first stage alone will eliminate many based on aptitude. With your third brother’s aptitude, there’s definitely no problem," Gu Qingqing, noticing Ye Wanwan’s concern, reassured her by patting her hand.

"I know." Ye Wanwan suppressed the unease in her heart and smiled.

"Thanks, Wanwan, for informing us about this. Otherwise, we’d still be in the dark," Gu Qingqing acknowledged that the information was not something everyone knew, showing she valued their friendship.

"It was actually my brother who told me, and he asked me to inform you," Ye Wanwan admitted with a shy smile.

Normally, she wouldn’t pay attention to these matters. If Ye Tingyan hadn’t mentioned it, she wouldn’t have known or thought to inform Gu Qingqing.

Upon hearing this, Gu Qingqing was slightly surprised, but knowing Ye Tingyan’s character, she quickly realized it was his way of seeking goodwill.

In her heart, she admired Ye Tingyan for being groomed as the Family Head, thinking things through comprehensively, without making others uncomfortable.

"When you return, thank Brother Ye for me. Tell him I’ll remember this favor and repay it one day," Gu Qingqing, rarely making promises, committed to this one.

"My brother said you don’t need to worry about it. This is something you could have found out if you were determined. We’re friends, so helping a bit is nothing," Ye Wanwan waved her hands, conveying Ye Tingyan’s message.

Gu Qingqing paused, "Alright, I understand."

She didn’t dwell on this matter, as she accepted this goodwill and intended to repay the Ye Family when the opportunity arose.

"Well, I’ve said everything I needed to. You all have the disciple recruitment test tomorrow, so I won’t disturb you any further. I’ll head back now," Ye Wanwan stood up, smoothing out the wrinkles on her dress, and spoke to Gu Qingqing and the others.

"I’ll walk you to the door," Gu Qingqing also stood up, tidied her clothes, and followed Ye Wanwan.

Gu Qingqing walked Ye Wanwan to the door, watched her get on the carriage, and then returned to the courtyard.

"I didn’t expect the Langya Immortal Sect’s disciple recruitment to be so troublesome, requiring people to pass three stages," Nan Hua said, waving the fan in her hand, not very satisfied. 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

"The Langya Immortal Sect is one of the four great Immortal Sects in the Immortal Realm. Many people want to become its disciples. If its requirements weren’t high, the threshold would have long been trampled down by those wishing to apprentice," Gu Qingqing returned just in time to hear Nan Hua’s words and responded.

"I’m quite curious about the Immortal Artifact that measures aptitude. I wonder what it’s like," Jun Wu rarely spoke, expressing his thoughts.

Like Si Lin, he was also skilled in Artifact Refining. This Immortal Artifact that could measure aptitude was something he hadn’t heard of before. It seemed probable that only the Immortal Realm had one, possibly only possessed by the four great Immortal Sects, which made him curious.

"I’m curious about that Immortal Artifact too, like Ah Wu," Gu Qingqing said, sitting next to Jun Wu, taking the Immortal Fruit Juice he handed her, and taking a sip.
