The two walked along the corridor, Wang Yang respectfully leading the way.
Qin Shaoyou walked behind him and glanced at his waist unconsciously.
Wang Yang also had a black wooden sign tied around his waist, which was exactly the same as the one he had seen at the entrance of Taolinfang before!
Now, he was almost certain that behind Taolinfang was Yuan Lingzong!
His heart moved and he asked:
"Fellow Daoist Wang, I heard you say just now that you are a disciple of Yuan Ling Sect?"
"I am not talented. Although I have entered the Yuanling Sect, I cannot be considered a true disciple of the Yuanling Sect."
Wang Yang nodded slightly and answered truthfully.
"A true disciple of Yuan Ling Sect?"
"What's the meaning?"
Qin Shaoyou continued to ask.
"Just enter the inner sect and board the floating island!"
"Only by becoming a disciple of the inner sect can one truly embark on the path of cultivating immortality. We disciples of the outer sect do not count..."
At this point, his speaking speed slowed down significantly, and his words seemed to reveal some loneliness.
"Then what should I do if I want to enter Yuan Ling Sect?"
He didn't care what Wang Yang said about the inner and outer sects, so naturally he could go in and talk about it!
Wang Yang was very surprised.
"If you want to enter the Yuan Ling Sect, there are two ways."
"The first is to pass the recruitment test of the outer sect, and the second is to be recommended by the disciples of the inner sect."
"However, the recruitment trial for disciples of this outer sect is only held every sixty years. The last trial was twenty years ago, which was the time I entered."
"As for the inner sect disciples..."
"To tell you the truth, even we outer sect disciples have no chance to meet those inner sect disciples, let alone casual cultivators like Taoist friends..."
"Okay, we're here."
"Please take a short rest and I will inform the boss."
Wang Yang led him to a teahouse, then turned around and left for another place.
After hearing these words, the latter seemed to fall into an icy abyss.
One period is sixty years, which means that the next recruitment trial for Yuan Ling Sect's outer sect will be in forty years!
Forty years!
Isn't this a big joke?
Or he could find an inner sect disciple of Yuan Ling Sect, and this inner sect disciple would introduce him.
But does the second possibility exist?
Totally non-existent!
"Is it possible to go to the Green Maple Valley?"
He chuckled self-deprecatingly.
Even though Green Maple Valley is a cultivating sect, it is definitely not a good place.
Everyone in the sect killed each other and plotted against each other. The fate of Jiang Feng and Jing Yueyang was still vivid in his mind!
When he thought of this, his scalp felt numb.
"No, you can't go to Qing Maple Valley!"
Not long after Wang Yang left, light footsteps could be heard outside the tea room.
Qin Shaoyou straightened his expression, calmed down and looked towards the door.
The visitor was a woman in her prime.
She was wearing a green shirt and flowing skirt, with peach branches on her hair and a pink silk handkerchief in her hand.
The tassel-like temples dance with the breeze, and the movements of hands and feet convey a faint fragrance, which makes people fascinated.
"My name is Su Wan, and I am the owner of Taolinfang."
Su Wan looked at Qin Shaoyou with a smile, raised his right hand slightly and waved it towards the back.
Wang Yang understood and immediately bowed to leave.
"Rogue cultivator Qin Heizi has met Master Su!"
Qin Shaoyou stood up from his seat and bowed to her.
"I heard from my junior brother that fellow Taoist would like to buy 300 three-line spiritual energy pills?"
"good!"
Su Wan groaned softly, smiled, and then asked Qin Shaoyou to sit down at the coffee table.
"My Taolinfang is a small place, and no casual cultivator has ever purchased so many spiritual energy pills."
She gently rolled up her sleeves, picked up the teapot, and made tea for Qin Shaoyou.
Clear tea flows out from the spout of the pot, steaming hot, slowly swirling along the rim of the cup.
Not long after, a fresh fragrance filled the tea room.
This smell is different from the smell on Su Wan's body. It smells refreshing, and even the movement of spiritual power in the body is much smoother.
Seeing Qin Shaoyou's surprised expression, Su Wan smiled and said:
"Fellow Taoist, this is meditation tea. Ordinary people can't drink it. Don't you want to try it?"
"Then thank you so much, Master Su."
Qin Shaoyou did not refuse, and immediately took the cup with both hands, picked it up and took a sip.
The tea is warm.
It has a soft entrance and a thin throat.
When it enters the abdomen, it turns into a warmth that flows to the limbs and bones, making people extremely comfortable.
The irritability in his heart suddenly disappeared without a trace.
“What a relaxing tea!”
He actually doesn't understand these tea ceremony methods at all, but he can still distinguish between good and bad tea.
Su Wan covered his mouth and smiled, gently put down the teapot in his hand, and took out a storage bag from somewhere.
"I heard from Junior Brother Wang that Taoist friend wants to settle the bill with gold."
"This gold is of little use to me, but if you sincerely want it, I can sell it to you!"
"But...the number is only fifty."
For Qin Shaoyou, the quantity of spiritual energy pills is not a problem at all.
"Thanks to Master Su for your kindness, I am very grateful!"
"Fifty spiritual energy pills are enough!"
Qin Shaoyou immediately took out a storage bag from his arms and placed it on the table.
Su Wan smiled knowingly, waved his jade hand, and ten jade bottles appeared neatly arranged on the table.
After the two looked at each other, they each swept what they needed into their arms.
Qin Shaoyou did not check the goods in person and put them directly into the storage bag, which surprised Su Wan.
And when her mind scanned the storage bag, she was surprised to find that there was twice as much gold in it!
Seeing her doubts, Qin Shaoyou raised his hands and said:
"Master Su, I'll tell you the truth. Now that I've come to the treasure land, I have one more thing I want to ask Master to clarify!"
He didn't say it explicitly, but the meaning was already there.
"Kekeke..."
"Fellow Daoist Qin, I wonder what you want to ask?"
Su Wan laughed like a silver bell, like a little girl.
The young man didn't know that Su Wan looked young, but he was already a monk in the foundation building realm.
This trick of his is undoubtedly a parody of his own practice.
Qin Shaoyou secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
He used to worry that such a "show of goodwill" would be counterproductive and make the other party unhappy, but now it seems that the effect is really good.
"Master Su, I want to join the Yuan Ling Sect. What suggestions does Master Su have?"
After hearing this, Su Wan's smile became even more playful.
"You are so brave!"
"It's only five hundred taels, and you want to buy my news?!"
"I know this is very offensive, but I really want to become a disciple of the Yuan Ling Sect!"
He immediately stood up from the table, stood aside and bowed, holding his fists in his arms and said:
"I dare not bother Master Su, but please give me a clear path!"
Qin Shaoyou still didn't give up. Although he had asked Wang Yang the same question before, he hoped to get a different answer from Su Wan.
Su Wan was somewhat surprised.
"Is there a clear path..."
"Didn't my junior brother Wang tell you?"
"If you want to enter our Yuan Ling Sect, there are only two ways!"
"Either pass the test of the outer sect, or be recommended by the disciples of the inner sect!"
She smiled lightly, stood up from her seat, and pointed outside the room.
"Some things can't be forced, you should let nature take its course, don't you think?"
Qin Shaoyou's face darkened. Was this an order to expel guests?
But he was extremely unwilling to leave like this!
He raised his head and his eyes met Su Wan's.
Her eyes are like a clear spring, extremely bright, and when she looks at them, they have a fresh and elegant meaning, which makes people feel ashamed.
He thought for a moment and seemed to understand something.
"What Master Su said is absolutely true. This matter cannot be forced."
"It's a bit rude of me below, please don't take it to heart, Master Su."
Qin Shaoyou looked apologetic.
"Well, it doesn't matter."
She replied calmly.
"Then I'll take my leave!"
Qin Shaoyou just left, and a young man walked in from another entrance of the teahouse.
He is eight feet tall, has sharp eyebrows and starry eyes, and is dressed in a straight and slender blue shirt.
There is a cyan jade pendant tied around his waist, which is antique in color and has a spiritual light flowing on it. At first glance, it is not ordinary.
Nangong You walked in holding the Seven-Star Flowing Cloud Fan.
Su Wan smiled and stared at the former's face like stars.
"Senior brother, is this guy the person you are looking for?"
