Kenshin City Central Square——

The sky is blue, with light clouds, and hazy golden sunlight shines behind the clouds. The towering buildings in the distance are shrouded in light gray mist, including many majestic towers and endless towering ancient trees. A gilded mask is worn in the center of the square.

Guards patrolled back and forth. On one side stood the statue of the Sword Emperor, symbolizing faith, and on the other side was the colorful Brilliant Star Palace.

——This is the place to sign up for the tournament.

Shen Yuan raised his eyes and saw that apart from the statue, there seemed to be a lot of outside things put together in this square.

Most of the local people sneered at the rustic pan-culture and meaningless fashion, just like the first set of clothes imitated by foreigners. The two patches on the old clothes of the foreigners were copied and copied on the clothes and trousers.

But don’t worry, most people are more concerned about the event that will be held in a few months.

At this moment, Jianxin City is experiencing the turn of autumn and winter, it is desolate and cold, and pedestrians on the road have turned up their collars.

There was a table set up at the gate of the Brilliant Star Palace, and the official responsible for reception was sitting behind it. The table was crowded with people.

After all, it was early in the morning, people's spirits had not been dampened by the cold wind, and they were very enthusiastic about talking and chatting.

Someone came up to talk to a monk who covered his eyes with a black cloth: "Hello, fellow Taoist, I am a disciple from the Nanling Sect. Which sect does your fellow Taoist come from and what kind of exercises do you practice?"

The blindfolded monk replied: "I have no family or sect, I am just a layman."

"Wow, my fellow Taoist can cultivate to the level of transcending tribulations without relying on the sect. He is truly a role model for our generation!"

"I am over-flattered!"

"..."

Big forces love to show off, and they often arrive in the last few days.

Those who sign up now are basically disciples of some small sects and small forces, or some casual cultivators without any sect.

But it is not that there are no powerful people at all. They often send special personnel to the scene in advance to secretly inspect potential disciples, and wait until the martial arts tournament is over to make a review and decide whether to extend an olive branch to them.

The target is the disciples of these small sects and the casual cultivators without sects.

In the secular world, this kind of people have a unified name——

"Fairy Detective".

This is exactly what Shen Yuan was thinking at the moment. He was wandering around like a fairy detective, trying to find some disciples with potential.

When he heard that the blindfolded monk turned out to be a casual cultivator, he immediately couldn't sit still:

"Isn't this the talented person without faction that I have been looking for? I don't know what his strength is."

He decided to go up and test it out.

"Hello, fellow Taoist, I am on the Shura Dao. What is your name, please?"

"Hello, I have no family or sect. I am just a layman. You can just call me Gu Lin."

"Do you have a code number?"

"No."

"Okay! Your Excellency has no sect, and your personality is so straightforward and free. I guess you don't want to be tied down by the complicated burdens of this world. May I ask why you want to participate in this martial arts competition?"

"To be honest with you, participating in the martial arts competition was not what I wanted to do. If I just practice alone, I will naturally encounter bottlenecks. I simply participate in external competitions to practice and see if I can find an opportunity for a breakthrough."

"I would like to ask you what your current level of cultivation is?"

"The peak of tribulation."

Shen Yuan rolled his eyes inwardly, "Good guy, the next step is to ascend to immortality, can you not encounter a bottleneck?"

Just as he was thinking about it, Gu Lin suddenly spoke:

"If you have nothing else to do, fellow Taoist, I'll take my leave now."

Shen Yuan raised his hand and said, "Okay, I look forward to meeting you at the martial arts competition."

Encounter."

Very good, this is the first step taken, there is still one step away from overthrowing the Nine Swords Immortal Sect!

…

Haotian Sect.

Except for the small episode that happened last time, the Immortal Path Ceremony went very smoothly. Under the leadership of Zhang Shanfeng, every disciple of the Haotian Sect found a school that suited them, and the whole sect was peaceful.

Su Fan was lying in his small yard listening to Qi Ling reporting his work to him.

A brief description is as follows:

In terms of disciples - the original Haotian Sect had 18,732 people and six peaks.

There are now ninety-five thousand six hundred and eighty-one disciples of the Haotian Sect, and there are forty peaks.

The field of each genre has been expanded five times.

In addition, Yunxiao Feng and Bai Zhifeng were added to be responsible for medical treatment and treatment.

Hot Pot Peak and Barbecue Peak are responsible for food and storage, and members of the anatomy team are the core disciples here.

Di Lingfeng and Weiwei Feng are responsible for the chores and logistics, and the members of the handymen group are the core disciples here.

Regarding the elders - the sect opened an elders' house and built a council hall on the mountain behind the main peak, named "Dome Star Palace".

Because Haotian Sect has always adhered to the principle that status has nothing to do with cultivation, so those who previously held the position of elder in various major sects are still elders now.

But it must be distinguished from the original Haotian Sect elder.

The ones with the highest status are the gold-level elders—Ji Yunxi, Tang Mengdong, Weng Zijing, Hu Jinwan and Liu Ling.

The power of the five of them in the Haotian Sect is second only to Su Fan and Zhang Shanfeng.

Next in status are the silver-level elders, such as Cao Qintian and Jing Wenxin, who were the first to join the sect.

Next are the bronze-level elders, mainly those who have just joined the Haotian Sect not long ago.

There are a total of thirty-six people in the Elder Council, and their main job is to assist the sect leader in handling all matters within the sect and to lead the disciples to practice.

As for those immortals who were above the level of immortals, Su Fan also set up a special hilltop for them and named it the "Security Group".

A unified military management system is established. During normal times, those who should watch the gates will watch the gates, and those who should sweep the streets will sweep the streets. Whenever the Haotian Sect encounters any danger, these immortals must be on the front line.

This is Su Fan's death order.

Generally speaking, the current state of the Haotian Sect is that everyone has the ability to practice, everyone has books to read, everything is clearly organized, and the disciples and elders each perform their duties.

After listening to the summary report of the Immortal Path Ceremony, Su Fan gave Zhang Shanfeng a big thumbs up in his heart.

Now you should be able to rest assured, at least you don't have to worry about a fire in the backyard when you go out to run errands.

"Master Nephew Zhang did a really good job in this matter, and he did it in a decent manner."

The last thing left is the exam.

Su Fan seemed to suddenly think of something and asked Qi Ling:

"Have those demon clans in Fairy City left?"

"gone."

"Where's the husky? Where is he now?"

"He is now staying with Xiao Jixiang. Ever since Elder Ji became ill, they have been staying with her every step of the way."

Su Fan's heart suddenly twitched.

Damn it! How could you forget about Ji Yunxi’s illness?

I asked why I didn’t see her in the Fairy Road Ceremony.

Last time, those demon clan came too suddenly. After I settled down, I left in a hurry. Later, they held the Immortal Path Ceremony and forgot all about it.

"Forget it, after all, it's been so long. She should have recovered. The evil spirit entering her body is not a serious illness. Just ask her to drink more hot water." Su Fan comforted himself.

Qi Ling:......

"Help me call Liucheng and Goudan over. I'll see them if I need anything."

"Yes, uncle."

After a while, Liucheng came with Goudan

Arrive at the small courtyard behind the mountain.

Now Liucheng no longer looks the same as he did in his old age. For an alchemy cultivator, it couldn't be easier to identify the best herbs, so he seemed to be a different person after he came out of Xiaolin Peak that day.

Of course, he had to resist the extremely sad eyes of Liu Ling...

"Senior Su, ah Senior Su, you are my reborn parents, eh yo ya~"

The old man was so proud that he started singing.

"Okay, okay, stop singing. I heard it from so far away. Can you be more ethical? The security team next door has to go to work tomorrow."

"Senior Hahasu, I'm so excited to be reborn today, so I apologize for that."

He even changed his self-identity, no longer calling himself "senile".
To be continued...
