Shen Long took the golden dharma plate and examined it carefully. He found that he still had more than 600 spiritual stones on his body.

He purchased an Earth Escape Talisman, a Beast Soul Talisman, a Thunder Drawing Talisman and two Wind Control Talisman, paid off the spiritual stones, and he still had 310 spiritual stones on his body.

After leaving the Zhenbao Pavilion, Shen Long came to the square where the stalls were set up and walked around.

"I heard that the Immortal Ascension Conference is about to begin. The five major forces in Qin are preparing to recruit disciples. It is only held once every twenty years. This is a rare opportunity."

"Not everyone can meet the conditions for accepting a disciple. The age cannot be more than forty years old. You must have at least the eighth level of Qi refining, three spiritual roots, and a clean financial background. These can filter out a large number of people."

"Yes! I heard that it is very difficult to pass the examination, but having said that, if you can join one of the five major powers of the Qin State, you will not have to worry about it in the next life. You will be able to receive a monthly salary and have a good cave."

······

Some Qi Refining monks were talking about it, and they talked about the Immortal Ascension Conference.

"Ascension Conference! Recruit disciples!"

Shen Long had a look of longing on his face. He was now twenty years old, at the sixth level of Qi Refining, and had also practiced four first-level spells to perfection. He didn't know if he would have the opportunity to join the Immortal Cultivation Sect.

It’s easy to enjoy the shade under the big trees. If you can join a big force, your development prospects will be much better.

He asked other Qi Refining monks about the situation of the Immortal Ascension Conference. The Immortal Ascension Conference will not be held for another five years, but some monks have already rushed to their destination to find a way.

Returning to his residence, Shen Long sat cross-legged on the stone bed.

Five years later, the Immortal Ascension Conference was held. He was only at the sixth level of Qi Refining and did not meet the conditions for accepting a disciple.

The five major forces of the Qin State hold an Immortal Ascension Conference every twenty years, and only accept immortal cultivators who are under the age of forty and above the eighth level of Qi refining, which means that Shen Long only has one chance.

It is not very difficult to reach the eighth level of Qi refining in five years. It has been more than two years since he advanced to the sixth level of Qi refining.

Shen Long took out a purple apricot fruit and took a bite. It was sweet and refreshing. Soon, he ate a purple apricot fruit.

A slightly warm air rose in his abdomen, and he quickly practiced his exercises.

Three months passed quickly. On this day, Shen Long was sitting cross-legged on the stone bed practicing. There were a large number of blue light spots floating in the stone room, and water vapor filled the air.

The blue light spots seemed to be guided by some kind of guidance and rushed towards Shen Long's mouth and nose.

Half a quarter of an hour later, all the blue light points in the room poured into Shen Long's body. The blue glow on his body dissipated. He opened his eyes and let out a long breath.

"Seventh level of Qi refining! Haha."

Shen Long was overjoyed. In more than three years, he advanced from the fifth level of Qi Refining to the seventh level of Qi Refining. This cultivation speed was very fast, comparable to the elite members of the Li family, Han family and Chen family.

If he hadn't eaten two purple apricot fruits, it might have been a while before Shen Long could advance to the seventh level of Qi Refining.

In this way, as long as he reaches the eighth level of Qi Refining within five years, he can meet the conditions for accepting a disciple.

Shen Long thought of something, took out the Spirit Control Tower and injected mana into it.

A strong suction force pulled him into the Yuling Tower, and he stood in front of the Yuling Pool.

There was a cheerful neighing sound, and the Iron-tailed Scorpion crawled out of the Yuling Pond. Its size was more than a circle larger than before.

"You have advanced to the mid-level of the first level, which is good."

Shen Long looked happy. Every other month, he fed the iron-tailed scorpion a spirit-feeding pill. All three spirit-feeding pills were fed to the iron-tailed scorpion, otherwise the iron-tailed scorpion would not advance so quickly.

The iron-tailed scorpion neighed happily, and it was also very happy.

Shen Long cooked three cans of spiritual rice and fed it to the Iron-tailed Scorpion before exiting the Yuling Tower.

He put away the spiritual stones on the soundproof array, opened the door and walked out, heading towards the mountain.

When I came to Yanwu Garden, there was no empty stone room for the time being.

Shen Long stood at the door waiting. After more than a quarter of an hour, the door of a stone room opened, and Qin Qing and Qin Tianhe came out. They were smiling, as if they were having some happy event.

"Fellow Daoist Shen, you have advanced to the seventh level of Qi Refining."

Qin Qing said in surprise.

"A lucky breakthrough. Fellow Daoist Qin and Fellow Daoist Xu haven't contacted you yet?"

Shen Long asked.

"Not yet, probably still recovering from his injuries!"

Qin Qing said.

After chatting for a while, Qin Qing and Qin Tianhe said goodbye and left. Shen Long walked into the secret room to practice his spells.

He was practicing the art of wind control. He muttered words, his feet slowly lit up with green light, and his body swayed and he appeared in front of a stone wall.

Two hours later, Shen Long walked out of the secret room, his face slightly pale.

After leaving the martial arts garden, he walked down the mountain, intending to visit the square where stalls were set up.

Before he had gone far, Qin Qing came towards him and said, "Fellow Daoist Shen, Daoist Xu has summoned us for a meeting."

Shen Long nodded and went to Qingzhu Courtyard with Qin Qing. Xu Lei and Sun Yang were sitting in the stone pavilion, talking about something.

"Fellow Daoist Xu, haven't you recruited new team members?"

Shen Long asked curiously.

"It's not necessary. From now on, Fairy Ye will no longer participate in hunting monsters. They have withdrawn."

Xu Lei said with a regretful tone.

"What? Withdrew? Good luck, why did they withdraw?"

Qin Qing said doubtfully.

"She hunts monsters with us mainly to resolve the bottleneck. Now that the bottleneck has been resolved, there is no need to hunt monsters with us. It is so easy to earn spiritual stones by selling talismans."

Xu Lei explained that Ye Yutang and Ye Yuqing were so powerful that he was afraid of them. Ye Yutang quit on his own initiative, and it was too late for him to be happy!

"They quit, why don't they find new teammates? It's too dangerous to just rely on the four of us to hunt monsters."

Shen Long frowned and said.

"Yes! It's really too dangerous just to rely on the four of us."

Qin Qing agreed.

"I found another purple apricot fruit tree with more than forty purple apricot fruits. The location is very secret. It is guarded by two late-stage first-order golden cloud butterflies. If you find other people, you have to give them a few more. We If we divide it among four people, we can score more points and there is no need to find new teammates."

Xu Lei explained.

"Next time we hunt monsters, we will invite new teammates. Jin Yundie is not difficult to deal with. It is a rare opportunity."

Sun Yang agreed.

Qin Qing hesitated for a moment and agreed. If he could get a few more purple apricot fruits, Qin Tianhe's cultivation speed would be faster.

"Risks are directly proportional to rewards. It is safer to invite a few more Taoist friends."

Shen Long suggested that he always felt that it was too risky.

Xu Lei is a greedy person. He has always been very cautious. This time he found a purple apricot fruit tree deep in the Qianzhu Mountains. The risk for the four of them entering the mountain was too great. This was not like him.

"That's it, my injury has not healed yet. I need to buy elixirs to heal the injury, otherwise I won't take the risk."

Xu Lei explained.

"Fellow Daoist Shen, after we succeed this time, we can rest for a long time and get more spiritual stones."

Sun Yang advised.

"Fellow Daoist Shen, we have cooperated for so many years, and this time is no exception. Let's go together!"

Qin Qing advised.

After hearing these words, Shen Long hesitated for a moment and agreed.
Chapter completed!
