The mountains are like swords, reaching straight into the sky.

The fairy spirit is curling up, and the flying cranes are flying, which are all the grand scenes of the fairy family.

There was only one mountain, bare and covered with withered grass and thorns.

There is a thatched hut on the top of the mountain. A solitary pine grows slanting among the strange rocks on the edge of the cliff in front of the house. There are several broken swords stuck upside down in the grass behind the house.

Rather than saying it is a spiritual residence for cultivators, it is better to say it is a small village for bandits.

Facing east, on the edge of the cliff, old pines are intertwined.

A woman in a green robe sat cross-legged on a pine root, took a sip of wine from a bamboo tube, and said to the young man standing respectfully under the pine tree:

"I have been practicing as my master for thousands of years, and have been the sword-wielding elder of my sect for more than five hundred years. I have never accepted a disciple. Do you know why my master suddenly chose you as his direct disciple?"

The young man’s name is Xiao Ran.

The earth from the 21st century was lucky enough to catch up with the wave of time travelers three years ago and came to this world of cultivation.

It's all in vain. He has mediocre talent and is nothing but handsome.

But after all, I have traveled to the world of cultivation, so it makes no sense not to cultivate immortality.

In the past three years, he has participated in the entrance examinations of dozens of sects and failed in the first round.

I got lucky today unexpectedly!

During the entrance examination of the famous sect Zhishan, he was unexpectedly admitted as a direct disciple by the sword-bearing elder Ling Zhouyue, which shocked the whole sect.

ancestry!

Personally passed down!

Happiness comes too suddenly.

Even at this moment, he was immersed in the rich spiritual energy of Zongzhi Mountain, put on the light blue disciple uniform, took the personal disciple card, put away the high-level space ring and sword, and even received the disciple salary of ten spiritual stones in advance.

...He was still confused.

I'm afraid this female elder is not a fool!

Because he felt guilty and overjoyed, Xiao Ran lowered his head and did not dare to look at the elder. He did not even hear what the elder asked him...

After drinking from the pot, Ling Zhouyue realized that her new apprentice hadn't replied to her yet, and she was a little unhappy.

"I'm asking you something!"

Xiao Ran was slightly startled and quickly responded:

"Excuse me, Master."

Ling Zhouyue's eyes twitched, she suppressed her emotions and asked again in a more severe tone:

"Do you know why I chose you as my direct disciple?"

Xiao Ran didn't know anything about it.

"Disciple doesn't know."

Seeing Xiao Ran lowering his head, Ling Zhouyue shouted sharply:

"Is there something ghostly about my master's face? Raise your head!"

When Xiao Ran heard that Ming Ming's expression changed, he quickly calmed down and looked up at this unfamiliar master.

This is a young woman wearing a green robe, carrying a bamboo wine flask, her clothes are not covering her body, and her wine never leaves her mouth.

She was bare-faced and only dressed up in a drunken blush, but it could not hide her sharp eyebrows and starry eyes, and her beautiful face.

She was even more casually dressed, with her long, thick hair tied into a short braid with bamboo branches at the back of her head, and her loose green robe, missing a lapel and few sleeves, worn straight on her slender figure.

When a gust of wind blows, the sleeves rustle and shine.

The white area is vaguely exposed, plump as jade, and undulating.

This made Xiao Ran feel that the overly loose green robe was just to cover up this dirty figure.

This is the first person Xiao Ran has met who is more handsome than himself since he traveled to the world of cultivation.

The broad robe is graceful, the face is beautiful, and the sassiness reveals the aura of a strong man with a transcendent nature.

Unexpectedly, she was so brave and heroic... she was actually a beautiful woman with an elegant sword spirit!

Xiao Ran fell into deep thought.

Why would such a woman find a loser in cultivating immortals to be her personal disciple?

There's definitely no problem with the face; the figure is a bit shabby, but it's not a problem; as the sword-wielding elder of Zong Zhishan, there's no problem with the strength...

There must be something wrong with your brain!

Xiao Ran came to a conclusion and said respectfully:

"I'm sorry for my stupidity, but I really don't know why Master accepted me as his disciple. I would like to ask Master to clarify."

Ling Zhouyue nodded with satisfaction, took out another bottle of wine from somewhere, and drank heavily.

Glancing sideways at the handsome and honest apprentice, I could feel a rare sense of intellectual superiority.

Oh, I will tell you that the Taoist League has just issued the Preaching Act in the Age of Dharma Ending. If I don’t accept disciples and teach, will I be kicked out of the sect?

As for why I'm looking for you? Because only by finding a fool can I prove that I really don't have the talent to teach, and those bastards won't make things difficult for me.

There are thousands of mediocre people in the world, why do I want to look for you? Because only I can see that you are endowed with equal talent in the five elements, and it is absolutely impossible for you to practice Qi!

Moreover, you are so handsome that you look up and down every day. At least you are not annoying to look at. It would be even more beautiful if you could assist me in wagging my dragon's tail.

Thinking like this, Ling Zhouyue took a few more sips of wine and almost spoke the truth.

"Why? Because you are an extremely rare person with equal endowment of the five elements in the legend. Your teacher happens to have some original secret skills that are about to be lost. Only you who are endowed with all five elements can practice it."

I believe you as a ghost!

Xiao Ran bowed respectfully and said:

"Thank you Master for your love."

Although Xiao Ran was not very talented, he had studied a lot of theoretical knowledge in the past three years in order to prepare for the entrance examinations of various major sects.

The five elements are equally endowed, that is, the spiritual roots are mediocre in all directions, have no outstanding advantages, and are unable to gather the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. This is a typical talent that is abandoned by nature.

It is difficult to cultivate Qi in a lifetime, let alone practice any special skills.

Fortunately, no matter what kind of medicine the master sold in the gourd, he still successfully stepped into the immortal gate and was about to take the first step in his spiritual life.

No matter how difficult the future may be, Master will be his guide after all, and he must perform with all his strength in the performances that should be coordinated.

Opportunities are always reserved for those who are prepared. If you practice well, maybe one day the system will hit you?

Such talents can be selected as direct descendants of famous families. Even if they are hit by the system, there is nothing surprising.

[The strongest filial piety system is loading...]

Xiao Ran was suddenly startled.

"What system?"

[The strongest filial piety system is loaded successfully and is permanently bound to the host Xiao Ran. As long as the host shows filial piety to the master, it will become stronger. 】

"Is this okay?"

[Please host choose the target master.]

Xiao Ran has no other choice now.

"Master, Ling Zhouyue."

[The target master, Ling Zhouyue, has been bound and cannot be changed forever. 】

Too careless!

Xiao Ran couldn't wait to check the system panel.

[Host]: Xiao Ran.

[Cultivation]: Mortal.

【Master】: Ling Zhouyue.

[Filial piety value]: 0.

[Skills]: None yet.

【Storage】: None yet.

[Mall]: You can open it with concentration.

There is actually a quantified value of filial piety...

Isn't this spoiled?

I, Xiao Ran, was born with great filial piety!

Xiao Ran did not immediately go to earn filial piety points, but opened the system mall attentively to see what treasures there were.
