### Chapter 2: Third Ghost Master (Part 2)
Recalling the past, when the Ancient Nether Era ended and the Era of Emperors began, his soul was trapped in the Yin Crow. After countless years of effort, he temporarily freed himself from the control of the Immortal Demon Cave.
Recalling the past, when he met Immortal Emperor Mingren, the latter was still a young man who had not yet grasped the Great Dao, a young man with a warm heart and a love for martial arts!
Recalling the past, it was he who introduced Immortal Emperor Mingren to the world of cultivators. Unfortunately, after millions of years, the once invincible figures of that era had vanished into the mists of time.
When Li Qiyi's gaze fell on a charcoal-black stick beside the incense niche at the base of the statue, he was surprised. Then, a smile involuntarily curved his lips. After countless years, he never expected this stick to still be here.
Recalling the past, he had beaten those young men until they howled in pain. Those young men of the past were so full of spirit and vigor...
At this moment, the six elders of the Xianyan Ancient Sect entered one after another. Although the elders of the Xianyan Ancient Sect were quite old, their blood was as vibrant as ever, and each elder exuded a fierce aura, with a radiant light surrounding them.
Although the Xianyan Ancient Sect had declined, it was still a lineage of Immortal Emperors. If the elders of the Xianyan Ancient Sect were willing to join the Treasure Holy Upper Kingdom and receive titles, they might be ennobled as heroes!
The six elders' fierce gazes fell on Li Qiyi, but despite their astonishing aura and fierce gazes, Li Qiyi remained calm and composed, sitting there peacefully.
"Where is the Xianyan Ancient Order?" Finally, the First Elder spoke in a deep voice, coldly. For the Xianyan Ancient Sect, the Xianyan Ancient Order was of great importance. It was something left behind by their ancestor, Immortal Emperor Mingren.
Li Qiyi slowly opened his palm, revealing an ancient and simple token. When Third Ghost Master sent him to the town at the foot of the mountain where the Xianyan Ancient Sect was located, Li Qiyi never expected that Third Ghost Master would suddenly disappear into the Green Jade Tower.
When Third Ghost Master took the token, he threw it to Li Qiyi. In fact, Li Qiyi never expected that Third Ghost Master would possess the Xianyan Ancient Order.
After Immortal Emperor Mingren received his heavenly mandate, even though he was still a Yin Crow, he gave Third Ghost Master three Xianyan Ancient Orders. Later, Li Qiyi gave these three ancient orders to others!
After millions of years, to see this order again made Li Qiyi feel deeply moved. He never expected that he would need this Xianyan Ancient Order today, even though he didn't need it back then.
The six elders carefully examined the Xianyan Ancient Order and finally confirmed that it was genuine. This made the six elders exchange glances.
In fact, the Xianyan Ancient Sect had always wanted to reclaim this ancient order. They had used many methods to try to get it back from Third Ghost Master, but he knew that this order was his talisman and refused to return it to the Xianyan Ancient Sect. It was unexpected that today, Third Ghost Master would give this order to an unknown mortal.
"Where is Third Ghost Master?" The First Elder said coldly. For this greedy and lecherous Third Ghost Master, the First Elder had never had a good attitude, even though he was the illegitimate son of the previous sect leader. The First Elder had never liked him!
"He went to the Green Jade Tower," Li Qiyi said calmly.
Such words left the six elders with no place to hide their embarrassment. Although they did not acknowledge Third Ghost Master as a member of the Xianyan Ancient Sect, he was indeed a member. The Green Jade Tower was the most famous and largest brothel in the area, and the six elders knew this well.
This was not the first time such an incident had occurred, and it was not the first time Third Ghost Master had visited the Green Jade Tower! The six elders were particularly frustrated; they wished the Xianyan Ancient Sect did not have such a lecherous member!
"What are your demands?" Another elder said sternly. They did not know what methods Li Qiyi used to make Third Ghost Master willing to give him the Xianyan Ancient Order, but the order in front of them was genuine.
"I heard that the position of the chief disciple of the Xianyan Ancient Sect is still vacant. Third Ghost Master also strongly recommended me to become the chief disciple of the Xianyan Ancient Sect, so I want to become the chief disciple of the Xianyan Ancient Sect," Li Qiyi said slowly.
Such words immediately darkened the faces of the six elders. When did a lecherous person like Third Ghost Master have the qualifications to recommend a chief disciple for the Xianyan Ancient Sect? Moreover, the selection of the chief disciple of the Xianyan Ancient Sect was always extremely cautious, which was why the position had been vacant for so long.
"The position of chief disciple is not a game!" an elder said coldly.
"I know," Li Qiyi said calmly. "But the holder of the Xianyan Ancient Order can make one request. This is a rule established by your ancestor, Immortal Emperor Mingren."
"The ancient order in your hand may not be legitimate," the First Elder said coldly. The position of chief disciple was a serious matter and could not be taken lightly.
Li Qiyi was not surprised and said slowly, "I understand that you, the elders, are worried that I might have forcibly taken it from Third Ghost Master. If you don't believe me, you can send someone to the Green Jade Tower to verify."
Hearing the words "Green Jade Tower," the six elders immediately turned red with embarrassment, but they immediately sent disciples to verify.
Soon, the dispatched disciples returned and confirmed that Li Qiyi's Xianyan Ancient Order was indeed given to him voluntarily by Third Ghost Master. Of course, the returning disciples omitted the details of Third Ghost Master's activities in the Green Jade Tower, otherwise, the six elders would have been even more embarrassed.
The six elders were very reluctant to acknowledge Li Qiyi's Xianyan Ancient Order, but they could not violate the ancestral rules. The Xianyan Ancient Sect was still a lineage of Immortal Emperors, and even though it had declined, it could not afford to lose face.
"Please bring the True Image Mirror," the First Elder said coldly, as the Xianyan Ancient Order was genuine, and the six elders had no choice.
Soon, the disciples brought the True Image Mirror and shone it on Li Qiyi. Any mortal who wanted to join a sect to cultivate must pass the True Image Mirror to determine their physical constitution, lifespan, and destiny.
In the True Image Mirror, Li Qiyi's shadow appeared, blurry and flickering like a candle flame that could be extinguished at any moment. Behind his head, a faint blood light could be seen, and in his forehead, a faint light could be seen, but both the blood light and the light were indistinct.
"Physical constitution: ordinary, lifespan: ordinary, destiny: ordinary," the disciple said after detecting Li Qiyi's physical constitution, lifespan, and destiny.
Everyone has a physical constitution, lifespan, and destiny. The physical constitution directly affects the strength of the body, the lifespan determines the length of life, and the destiny determines the quality of one's talent!
Seeing that Li Qiyi had an ordinary physical constitution, lifespan, and destiny, the six elders were speechless. Such a constitution, such a lifespan, and such a destiny were common in the mortal world; almost anyone would have such conditions!
"The chief disciple of the Xianyan Ancient Sect must at least have a royal or holy constitution, and a long lifespan. Your conditions are not suitable to become the chief disciple," the First Elder said coldly.
"I know," Li Qiyi said calmly, without surprise. "My condition is to become the chief disciple!"
"You—!" Li Qiyi's words immediately enraged the other elders. Such a constitution could not make him the chief disciple, and he did not even meet the conditions to join the Xianyan Ancient Sect. How could they not be angry at his request to become the chief disciple?
"I believe that the descendants of Immortal Emperor Mingren would not violate the ancestral rules or betray their teacher," Li Qiyi said slowly, spreading the Xianyan Ancient Order in his hand. "If this order falls into the hands of others, the consequences would be unimaginable."
The six elders' faces were very grim. The First Elder said coldly, "Even so, the chief disciple of the Xianyan Ancient Sect must undergo a comprehensive investigation of their background and origin. Otherwise, they cannot become the chief disciple!"
"That is your concern," Li Qiyi said calmly, looking at the six elders. "Moreover, if you think I am a spy sent by another sect to steal your Immortal Emperor's legacy, I don't need to become the chief disciple. With this order, I can directly demand secret manuals. You should know this better than I do! With this order in hand, if I truly wanted to harm the Xianyan Ancient Sect, it would not be difficult!"
Li Qiyi's words made the six elders exchange glances, but they still did not trust him.
"He does have a point," Elder Xiong said thoughtfully. "If the Xianyan Ancient Order remains outside, it is a potential threat to our sect. We cannot refuse the holder's request. Perhaps we should make a decision now."
"Humph—this is no trivial matter!" the First Elder said coldly.
"Throughout history, the chief disciple has always been the personal disciple of the sect leader. Whether or not to accept him, we should consult the sect leader's opinion," another elder said thoughtfully.
"That makes sense. After all, the chief disciple is the personal disciple of the sect leader," another elder agreed.
"Send a message to the sect leader," the six elders decided after a discussion, and the First Elder said coldly.
The six elders sent a message to the sect leader, Su Yonghuang, who was outside. Unexpectedly, the sect leader quickly replied, and even more unexpectedly, he agreed to let Li Qiyi become the chief disciple.
"The sect leader is being foolish and absurd!" The First Elder read the message three times, confirmed it, and said sternly, clearly dissatisfied.
"Brother Xiong, since the sect leader has agreed, what more can we say? After all, the chief disciple is the personal disciple of the sect leader, and the decision is his," Elder Xiong advised.
"The sect leader is being foolish," another elder sighed and shook his head.
Elder Xiong smiled bitterly and shook his head. "What else can we do? If we can recover the Xianyan Ancient Order, it would be a great merit!"
