Hongjun Accepts Six Saints as Disciples

Xuanbao briefly sorted out the rewards he had shamelessly obtained: seven innate spiritual treasures, one of which was a mid-grade innate spiritual treasure, and the rest were low-grade innate spiritual treasures; hundreds of kinds of innate spiritual fruits; more than 2000 kinds of innate spiritual materials; and more than 500 acquired spiritual treasures.

However, the vast majority of them were low-grade acquired spiritual treasures, along with some miscellaneous items. After selecting the treasures, they were simply thrown into the space to gather dust.

To be honest, it's easier to make money off women. All seven innate spiritual treasures were given to Xuanbao by powerful women, especially his sugar daddy, or rather, his sugar mommy, the Ancestral Witch Houtu, who gave him three of them directly. The mid-grade innate spiritual treasure was also given by Houtu. Of course, Xuanbao has basically used every word he knows to praise people.

After making this sugar daddy happy, Xuanbao then showered her with praise from the goddesses Xihe and Changxi on the Taiyin Star, as well as the Queen Mother of the West from Xikunlun. In the end, Xuanbao received three innate spiritual treasures and a branch of the laurel tree.

At this moment, Zhunti and Jieyin could no longer hide the greed in their eyes, and drool almost dripped from the corners of their mouths. They never expected that in just a short while...

Xuanbao obtained seven innate spiritual treasures and more than 500 acquired spiritual treasures. This was an enormous fortune, comparable to that of some powerful races. If they were to plunder it, it would take them countless millennia to gather such wealth. Envy, jealousy, and hatred filled Xuanbao's heart.

It wasn't just the two in the West; at least half of the 3000 people in Zixiao Palace were now looking at Xuanbao with eyes full of greed. It was all because they were poor. Xuanbao understood them perfectly; after all, he really liked the innate spiritual treasures they possessed, much like how people might covet their friend's wife…

At the same time, the three Pure Ones' expressions were also quite interesting, especially Tongtian, whose face had turned from red to purple. He never expected that his eldest disciple would have such means, obtaining so many resources with just a few words. He knew that cultivation was all about wealth, companions, methods, and land.

Wealth was the top priority, and Yuanshi looked at Xuanbao with a friendly gaze. Although Xuanbao's methods were crude and somewhat lowered the prestige of the Three Pure Ones, prestige was worth nothing. Yuanshi's prestige was earned with his fists.

However, the happiest of the Three Pure Ones was Laozi. With hundreds of fruits from the innate forest roots, there were enough to refine countless Nine-Turn Golden Pills. Laozi no longer had any pursuit of strength; he was filled with a thirst for resources. As the saying goes, alchemists consume too many resources.

They dared not make a move inside Zixiao Palace. He still had 3000 years left. He was only at the peak of the early stage of Taiyi Golden Immortal, but with the Five Elements Pearl to help him cultivate, he could at least reach the peak of Taiyi Golden Immortal in 3000 years, if not break through to the Great Luo Golden Immortal.

However, don't forget that you have the Holy Light Wings, a top-grade innate spiritual treasure. 3000 years is enough time for the treasure to digest all the resources it obtained last time. At that time, you will be able to travel 24 miles in a single breath. Those below the Quasi-Saint level will not even be able to touch your fart. Currently, only a dozen or so of the 3000 guests in Zixiao Palace have achieved the position of Quasi-Saint.

The rest were all Great Luo Golden Immortals, and some of the later ones were even only in the middle stage of Great Luo Golden Immortals. However, now that they were Quasi-Saints, they didn't care about the spiritual treasures they had revealed. Although they were a little envious, the Three Pure Ones were not to be trifled with.

Give him another 1 years, and the little Golden Immortal will directly beat him into a state of paralysis, with his left hand on the ground, his right hand on the ground, his left shoulder high and his right shoulder low, his left foot drawing circles and his right foot kicking. In short, he will be paralyzed on one side.

With nearly a hundred innate deities helping him cultivate, and still unable to achieve the Great Luo Golden Immortal status after 1 years, Xuanbao decided he should just go home and raise pigs.

Just then, the previously noisy Zixiao Palace became completely silent, just like when classmates met their homeroom teacher, who had used a silencing spell.

Xuanbao looked up and realized that a kind-looking old man with eyebrows that almost reached the ground had appeared on the platform in front of him.

We pay homage to the Sage Hongjun x3000

Xuanbao was startled by the shout and quickly followed suit.

Hongjun ignored everyone and began to speak.

There is something undifferentiated, existing before heaven and earth, formless and without shape, mysterious and profound, silent and indifferent, its sound unheard. I have given it a name, calling it the Way…

When Hongjun, the Dao Ancestor, was preaching, flowers rained down and golden lotuses sprang from the ground—quite a showy display. Xuanbao had reason to suspect that the showy display of flowers and golden lotuses that appeared on the day the Three Pure Ones traveled was learned from Hongjun. It should be known that maintaining such a display required a vast amount of magical power.

The 3000 powerful beings also sat cross-legged and began to comprehend the Dao. Their expressions changed from happy to sad, like a chameleon. However, Xuanbao did not intend to comprehend the Dao on his own.

There are still 37 innate spiritual treasures waiting for me to refine. When that happens, I will have nearly 100 assistants. One more or one less won't make a difference, so why bother with all this trouble?

Hongjun then began his sermon, and the great gods shook their heads and swayed. In the blink of an eye, 2500 years had passed. During these 2500 years, Xuanbao had already successfully refined all 37 innate spiritual treasures. With the support of 96 assistants, Xuanbao's cultivation level advanced by leaps and bounds in 2500 years.

He went directly from the initial peak of Taiyi to the current perfection of Taiyi Golden Immortal, only one step away from breaking through to Daluo Golden Immortal. Moreover, as long as he is a Xuanbao, he can break through at any time, but Xuanbao is not stupid.

When advancing to the Great Luo realm, one places great importance on accumulation and foundation. The Taiyi Golden Immortal cultivates the five qi in the chest to achieve the Five Qi Gathering Yuan. Upon reaching the Great Luo realm, the three flowers of Heaven, Earth, and Man will bloom. The grade of the three flowers determines your future upper limit. Only those with three flowers of grade nine or above have the possibility of becoming a saint. Xuanbao does not want to rush things.

Moreover, with his current strength, even ordinary Grand Luo Golden Immortals couldn't do anything to him, so why should he be in such a hurry?

Gradually, the sermon within Zixiao Palace ceased, and the 3000 guests within gradually regained their senses. Everyone turned their gaze to Hongjun, who glanced around and slowly spoke: "This sermon is now complete, and it will be the last one. Before that, I will take in a few disciples to establish the Xuanmen sect, guiding future generations of cultivators and passing on the position of sage."

When everyone heard that Hongjun was going to take on disciples, their eyes lit up with excitement, almost as if they were about to raise their hands and shout "Pick me! Pick me!" However, they were just dreaming. The six futons in front were the ones that were Hongjun's permanent disciples.

"Taiqing, Yuqing, and Shangqing, you three are the transformations of Pangu's primordial spirit, the true descendants of Pangu, possessing great fortune and destiny. You can become my personal disciples. Are you willing?"

Hongjun's words plunged the entire Zixiao Palace into a moment of deathly silence.

The Three Pure Ones!

As expected, the Three Pure Ones were among the disciples accepted by the Dao Ancestor!

Upon hearing this, the Three Pure Ones breathed a sigh of relief and then knelt down before Hongjun.

Teacher, please accept my bow.

The three of them bowed to Hongjun as disciples.

Seeing that the Three Pure Ones were willing to become his disciples, Hongjun smiled and nodded, then turned his gaze to Nuwa in the back seat.

Nuwa will have a great opportunity in the future, and she may become my disciple. Are you willing?

Nuwa, who was originally afraid that the opportunity to become a saint would leave her, immediately knelt down and bowed in submission when she heard that she could also become Hongjun's disciple. She said, "Disciple is willing to pay respects to Master."

However, after taking Nuwa in, Hongjun made no further moves. But Xuanbao knew that the two from the West would shamelessly beg Hongjun to take them as his disciples. In the end, Hongjun would owe the West a debt of karma and take in these two nominal disciples.

At this point, everyone had figured out the pattern of Hongjun's apprenticeship system.

Two people who had the meditation cushions were now regretting their choices. Hongyun, who originally had a spot, felt a pang of regret, realizing she had missed such a golden opportunity!

Meanwhile, Kunpeng in the rear looked at Zhunti and Jieyin on the futon in front of him, his eyes filled with killing intent. However, when he looked at Hongyun, his murderous gaze was even more undisguised, and Zhenyuanzi next to Hongyun could feel it.

Alas! But Zhen Yuanzi didn't say anything. He just glanced at Hongyun, who was still regretting his actions, with a worried look. "My good brother might face a calamity in the future."

Ah! Teacher, please have pity on us! Our West is in such a terrible state. The Three Rivers Earth Vein has been destroyed, and the entire West is in ruins. Please take us in. We will be able to revitalize the West. Please grant our request, Teacher. As he spoke, Jieyin and Zhunti knelt down and kowtowed repeatedly.

Hongjun Daozu was silent for a while, then nodded. "I owe the West a great karmic debt. Your fortunes were originally insufficient to make you my disciples. You two will be nominal disciples for now." After saying this, Hongjun fell silent again.

When everyone saw that these two shameless Westerners had actually cried for two disciple positions, they didn't hesitate and immediately knelt down in a large group, begging Hongjun to accept them as disciples. However, Hongjun would only accept six disciples.

However, Xuanbao felt it was time for him to show off again. *cough cough* Grandmaster, please accept my bow.

Her words, so different from everyone else's, successfully drew Hongjun's attention.

Everyone was furious when they saw that it was Xuanbao again. They were so angry that their teeth itched. Damn it, it's that kid again.
