Others Level Up, but I Pursue Cultivation!

[At the recruitment site, even the True Immortal Elder of the Qingyun Sect's Outer Sect would personally attend.]

Su Xing looked at the simulation text before him and nodded slightly.

"This Outer Sect Elder, according to intel… is a third-generation direct disciple of the Qingyun Sect. His aptitude is mediocre, with only a Heavenly Spirit Root, but he has achieved True Immortal status and has become the one in charge of the Little Qingyun Realm—a position of considerable power…"

Su Xing chuckled, finding it somewhat amusing.

In terms of seniority, this Outer Sect True Immortal Elder was a disciple of one of Su Xing's senior brothers…

Therefore, he should address Su Xing as Martial Uncle.

"Then I will make an appearance at this conference… At ordinary times, seeking an audience with a True Immortal is extremely difficult…"

"If I can break through this nephew, joining the Qingyun Sect would not be a bad thing!"

With this thought, Su Xing's gaze turned to the simulation panel.

[On the first day of the Qingyun Sect's recruitment, hundreds of thousands of cultivators flocked to register.]

[From seventy-year-old men to six or seven-year-old children, all had dreams of becoming immortals, hoping to join the Qingyun Sect.]

[Even becoming an Outer Sect disciple would be a step towards the heavens, ascending smoothly.]

[But the vast majority of applicants were cultivators with cultivation levels of their own. Be it Golden Core, Nascent Soul, Divinity Transformation, or loose cultivators of the Return to Void Realm… All hoped to join the Qingyun Sect and secure backing henceforth.]

[You did not rush to register because the True Immortal Elder had not yet appeared. You planned to stroll around the recruitment site, gaining some insight.]

[The standard of the Qingyun Sect's recruitment was astonishingly high. Within just one month, you witnessed one Heavenly Spirit Root cultivator and two True Spiritual Root cultivators being accepted into the sect.]

[The probability was indeed high, but you guessed that these individuals had probably tested their aptitude in advance and thus had the confidence to join the Qingyun Sect.]

[An amusing incident also occurred during this recruitment event.]

[A "noble young master" clad in brocade robes and accompanied by dozens of old servants was detected to have True Spiritual Root aptitude.]

[Subsequently, this young master was in a good mood and casually tossed out dozens of low-grade Spirit Stones, prompting a scramble among some ordinary people and low-rank cultivators.]

[By coincidence, one of those Spirit Stones landed right at your feet.]

[With your stature and cultivation level, you naturally would not stoop to pick up a mere few dozen Spirit Stones.]

[This displeased the young master, who gave you a cold, mocking look and even had a faint intention of taking action.]

[You found it quite amusing—just a little fellow who hadn't even reached the Qi Refinement stage, yet had such dog eyes.]

[So, you secretly cast a spell, causing this little fellow to have a run of bad luck.]

[Unexpectedly, one of his old servants noticed the spell, nearly leading to a confrontation.]

[You merely chuckled, unwilling to argue much.]

[However, this young master's family seemed quite powerful, with an ancestor who had reached the Body Integration Realm… They relentlessly mocked you...]n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

In the real world, Su Xing found this both laughable and exasperating.

"Tsk tsk, who would've thought the cultivation world has such soap opera-like dramas?"

"But in the simulation, I appear as an unremarkable middle-aged man, somewhat resembling a farmer... No surprise they'd look down on me..."

Su Xing chuckled softly. It wasn't about his magnanimity; it was more like an ant trying to punch an elephant. Would the elephant choose to ignore it or confront it head-on?

The answer was self-evident...

"However... when the Qingyun Sect's recruitment ceremony ends, the True Immortal Elder should show up. That's when I can reveal my identity!"

With this thought, Su Xing's gaze turned back to the simulation panel.

[You repeatedly tolerated the "noble young master," but it only fueled their arrogance.]

[They seemed certain you had no powerful backing.]

[But at the Qingyun Sect's recruitment ceremony, you did not want to cause any fatalities.]

[Time flew by… reaching the final day of recruitment.]

[Seeing that you hadn't registered as a disciple for three months, the young master was certain you were a low-level cultivator of inadequate aptitude, merely here for the spectacle.]

[Until the end of recruitment, when the sky was filled with red light.]

[A figure appeared, surrounded by endless flames, descending like a god of fire over Little Qingyun City.]

[The top expert of Little Qingyun Realm, the master of Little Qingyun City, Dan Huo True Immortal appeared! He was the Outer Sect Elder of the Qingyun Sect.]

[Dan Huo True Immortal descended from the sky, announcing the official end of the recruitment.]

[The cultivators below… the disciples involved in recruitment all cheered in admiration and fervor.]

Continue your journey with empire

[Dan Huo True Immortal, with his red face and beard, looked dignified and extraordinary.]

[Just as Dan Huo True Immortal was about to leave, you floated up from among the crowd, blocking his path.]n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

[You told Dan Huo True Immortal that you had important matters to discuss with him.]

[Dan Huo True Immortal merely chuckled. It was common for daring cultivators to try to leave a deep impression on him, hoping to rise above others or gain an opportunity...]

[Clearly, Dan Huo True Immortal took you for one of those daring cultivators.]

[But as he was ready to leave, he did not intend to pay you any heed.]

[Seeing Dan Huo True Immortal about to leave, you knew this was an opportunity you could not miss, or you would have to wait for years.]

[You immediately stated that you were the personal disciple taken by a certain Qingyun Sect grandmaster outside the sect, now here to return to the mountain gate and formally acknowledge your master...]

[Hearing your words, Dan Huo True Immortal stopped slightly, showing some interest and asked which master you were apprenticed to.]

[Hesitating for a moment, you chose to tell the truth and said you were apprenticed to Qing Yunzi, preparing to show the token as proof...]

[Upon hearing this, Dan Huo True Immortal was momentarily stunned.]

[Not just him, but even the other elders in charge and the cultivators in the city burst into thunderous laughter...]

[Everyone knew that Qing Yunzi had been in seclusion for tens of thousands of years without any news.]

[Some elders even mocked, asking if you were a personal disciple of Qing Yunzi from tens of thousands of years ago.]

[They knew better, since Qing Yunzi had not taken in disciples for tens of thousands of years...]

[As the other cultivators and elders laughed uncontrollably, Dan Huo True Immortal noticed the token you were holding...]

[The next moment, Dan Huo True Immortal's expression changed drastically!]
