Chapter Two: The Immortal Descends

  These people, in addition to the villagers of this village, also include many villagers from outside villages. The place where the immortal of Luoxia Mountain chooses his disciples is located in Qinjia Village. The disciples recruited are not only children from Qinjia Village, but also villagers from nearby villages within a radius of several tens of miles who come to hurry over. More than a dozen village people gather together, filling the entire spacious courtyard, leaving only the central empty space, which is where the immortal descends.

  Qin Lingyun and his family rushed over, with Qin Daniu leading the way, his broad waist and round belly making him a formidable sight. Many villagers stepped aside to let them pass.

  "Isnt this Big Brother Niu?" A young man with a tall and sturdy build walked over quickly from not far away, wearing a small vest that showed off his robust muscles, with wide horse riding pants on the lower half of his body. His whole person exuded strength and power, and he had a smile on his face as he spoke.

  "So its Ma San Yuan brothers, havent seen you for half a year, getting more and more sturdy!" Qin Da Niu walked up and punched Ma San Yuan on the shoulder.

  Ma San Yuan burst out laughing: "Thats right, I didnt spend half a year practicing for nothing."

  Qin Lingyun was somewhat perplexed. Ma San Yuans family was a relatively wealthy household in the neighboring village, and he had participated in the selection before but was eliminated. The immortal didnt know what criteria were used to choose disciples, many robust men with strong physiques were eliminated, while some weak and sickly people were chosen instead.

  Logically, Ma San Yuan had already been eliminated and shouldnt have come again. The immortal was afraid of too many people causing trouble and had previously given an order: if there were no family members participating in the selection, then they shouldnt come. Who dared to disobey the immortals orders?

  Just then, a little boy squeezed out of the crowd, looking delicate and lovely. He saw Ma San-yuan, his big eyes lit up, and he shouted loudly: "Big brother, how are you here?"

  Qin Lingyun only then realized that Ma San Yuan had come with his younger brother.

  Qin Daniu and Ma San Yuan exchanged pleasantries before Ma San Yuan introduced his younger brother, Ma San Jun, to the family.

  Ma Sanjun was only about nine years old, two years younger than Qin Lingyun. When he saw Qin Lingyun, his small mouth pouted and said: "What an ugly and dark girl, I dont want to play with you."

  Qin Lingyun was often said to be ugly, but being called ugly by a nine-year-old kid made her face somewhat unaffordable. However, she had read books and understood reason, so she didnt want to stoop to the level of a nine-year-old kid.

  A crowd of people squeezed in, coming to the front, Qin Lingyun perked up her ears to listen to the discussions around her.

  "Unexpectedly, Chuiyutou from Qin Dahus family also came to participate in the selection. If she gets selected, it would be utterly unreasonable."

  "Right, right, our Qin family villages number one beauty Qin Xiaoyun will definitely be chosen, the number one ugly girl Qin Lingyun? Forget it..."

  Qin Lingyun had just perked up her ears when she heard such words, and she secretly seethed with anger in her heart. She clenched her small fist: "Who says Im not capable? Later on, after I get selected, youll all be envious and jealous."

  The crowd waited for a while, and the time appointed by the immortal had already arrived. At this moment, two green lights flashed out of the clouds in the sky.

  Two beams of green light pierced through the white clouds and rushed straight towards the crowd.

  "Here!" someone shouted loudly.

  Many people waiting to be selected immediately became tense, Qin Lingyun was the same, her heart was like holding a small deer, thumping wildly, she bit her lip, her eyes staring at the two green lights in the air.

  The green light was getting closer and closer, Qin Lingyun could clearly see that a man and a woman were standing on top of a strange giant green leaf, the green misty light was emitted from the leaf, enveloping both people inside.

  They stepped on the green leaves, speeding down towards them. Due to being shrouded in a green glow, their appearance was blurry and unclear.

  The noise on the scene immediately stopped at this moment. Everyone was waiting quietly for the arrival of the immortal.

  A blue light flashed and streaked across the sky, finally descending onto the square, hovering about three or four meters above it.

  Qin Lingyun had heard her family and other villagers talk about the immortal since she was a child, finding it not only magical but also interesting, yet half-believing and half-doubting. Now that she has truly seen the immortal arrive with her own eyes, she is deeply shocked in her heart, and her doubting mind has completely disappeared.

  Immortals are also people who cultivate and become one. Humans can really fly in the air like birds, which makes Qin Lingyun more eager to become an immortal.

  She originally just wanted to become an immortal to improve her impoverished life at home, but now she truly yearns to become an immortal for the first time from the bottom of her heart.

  "Its like flying like a little bird, its too amazing, if one day I can do it, I must fly to the top of the clouds and take a look..." Qin Lingyun thought with relish.

  The blue light flickered a few times and disappeared, revealing the faces of a man and a woman.

  The male fairy has an ordinary appearance, while the female fairy is delicate and charming. They all wear similar pale blue clothes, with men wearing blue robes and women wearing long blue skirts, each with a colorful cloud pattern on their chest. Qin Lingyun can feel a natural aura from them that cannot be described, a kind of carefree and effortless elegance.

  "Welcome the two immortals." The villagers all bowed down, paying respects to the two immortals. Qin Lingyun bowed while secretly glancing upwards.

  The two immortals were as cold as ice, without a hint of a smile. Qin Lingyun thought to herself.

  A man and a woman, two immortals, waved their hands, and the strange giant leaves under their feet immediately shrunk to the size of a palm and were put into the dark black bag at their waist. Then they landed on the ground.

  The male immortals eyes swept around, with an air of arrogance, and he said slowly: "You all should know the rules, so I wont say more. Now, send over the children one by one, from eight to fourteen years old. Dont fight over it, or youll bear the consequences."

  The villagers were not participating in the selection for the first time. Each time, the immortals would not say much, but after a brief and clear selection, they would leave immediately, without wasting a single moment.

  Then, next, the villagers lined up one by one and took the children to the immortal.

  The selection was made by a lovely fairy maiden, while the male fairy stood aside with his hands behind him.

  The fairy stretched out her white jade-like hand and pressed it on the childs head, a stream of green air quickly drilled into the childs body, then the fairy shook her head and said: "Not suitable, eliminated, next one."

  A strand of green gas emerged from the fairys hand, clearly visible, but the villagers still couldnt see what method the fairy was using to select her disciples.

  The fairys green gas in the childs body turned around, and it was judged whether it met the standard of a disciple. This has exceeded the villagers imagination, and no one dares to ask about the reason behind it, so this also became an unsolved mystery.

  Soon, dozens of children were eliminated, and the male immortals face showed a hint of impatience. He cast a glance at the female immortal, seemingly blaming her for being too slow. This was Qin Lingyuns guess.

  The fairys movements quickened a bit, and the swirling green gas on her palm flowed even faster.

  "Double spiritual roots, not bad talent." Suddenly, the fairys palm stopped on a little boys head. Qin Lingyun looked over and saw that the little boy was none other than Ma San Yuans younger brother, Ma Sanjun, whom she had just met.

  The male immortal walked over and placed his palm on Ma Sanjiaos head, with a stream of green energy entering his head, apparently re-examining him.

  "Not bad, indeed a Golden Wood Double Spirit Root." The male immortal then swept his gaze over the crowd: "This childs family, come to my side."

  The crowd immediately showed a look of envy and jealousy on their faces. They didnt understand what the immortal meant by "Linggen", but one thing they could be certain of was that the little boy had passed the selection and could follow the immortal to cultivate his Tao.

  Those who have been eliminated, the children and their families are even more jealous and envious. However, no matter how much they envy, they cannot change the fact that they have already been eliminated. Those who have not yet started are also envious and jealous, in addition to which there is a sense of worry and hope.

  Ma San Yuan and his family walked out of the crowd and stood beside the male immortal, their faces filled with joy and pride.

  The next child then comes forward for selection.

  So another ten or so people went by, all failing one after another. When it was Qin Xiaoyuns turn, Qin Lingyun muttered to herself: "Definitely wont work, definitely wont work."

  Looking at Qin Xiaoyuns beautiful face, Qin Lingyun appeared calm on the surface but hid a hint of jealousy in her heart. All girls love beauty and no one wants to be called ugly and dark-skinned, so Qin Lingyun was looking forward to Qin Xiaoyun being eliminated, perhaps this would bring some comfort to her heart.

  But what made Qin Lingyun disappointed was that the female immortal unexpectedly exclaimed: "Its actually a wind attribute alien root, it seems that this time I didnt come out in vain."

  The male immortal, who had been re-examining the situation, suddenly calmed down from his irritable mood and even revealed a hint of a smile at the corner of his mouth. Qin Lingyun was greatly surprised: "So he can also smile."

  "Alas, I didnt expect Qin Xiaoyun to have a chance of becoming an immortal too." Qin Lingyun suddenly felt a little insecure about herself.

  It was finally Qin Lingyuns turn, and she walked up to the front with a nervous heart. At this moment, she clearly heard a burst of laughter coming from behind her, this familiar laughter had accompanied her for many years, even if Qin Daniu glared at her from behind, it couldnt erase the ridicule and sarcasm around her.

  To the masses, those they despise in daily life are absolutely impossible to become celestial beings. Celestial beings are what is unimaginable heaven in their hearts, and celestial beings are perfect, even their appearance should be exceptional. So its only natural that a girl like Qin Lingyun who doesnt look good gets despised.
