Chapter 49: Tianxuan Pill

The high-ranking members of the three major families were secretly delighted when they saw that Tuoba Ye had a wasted spiritual root, thinking that this time they would definitely surpass the Tuoba family.

However, their joy was short-lived, as the Tuoba family produced a disciple with supreme talent, which was a huge blow to the three major families.

Even though they knew little about the cultivation world, they understood what supreme talent meant.

"This Tuoba family seems to have hit the jackpot, producing a disciple with supreme talent! If he joins the Immortal Sword Sect, the Tuoba family will have the Immortal Sword Sect as their backing. Who would dare to provoke them?" Yuwen Lingfeng was dejected, having lost all fighting spirit.

Du Yusheng sighed, "It looks like we will be forever overshadowed by the Tuoba family."

Qian Duoduo's face turned even uglier. The Qian family's most important asset was their wealth, and now their main source of income was almost gone, and they couldn't even resist, naturally feeling extremely depressed.

Duan Yu asked Zhan Meng, "Young man, what's your name?"

Zhan Meng ignored Duan Yu and looked at Tuoba Ye instead.

Tuoba Ye smiled bitterly, "Immortal Master, his name is Zhan Meng, my good brother."

"Immortal Master, Tuoba Ye is lying to you. Zhan Meng is actually a slave of the Tuoba family," Du Yusheng said loudly.

Duan Yu's face turned grim. He knew that many major families had slaves, but these large sects never admitted slaves as disciples because slaves, having been tamed, had significant mental flaws.

"Tuoba Ye, is what he said true?" Duan Yu's voice became icy cold.

Originally, he was very happy to have recruited a disciple with supreme talent, but now it turned out to be a sham, and he was naturally furious.

"Immortal Master, Zhan Meng was indeed a slave I bought, but after I bought him, I tore up the slave contract. He is now my brother. If you don't believe me, you can ask Zhan Meng himself," Tuoba Ye said calmly.

He knew that Du Yusheng wanted to ruin the good fortune of the Tuoba family, but who was he? Even Xia Ju and Xia Mei were no longer controlled by slave contracts. When Tuoba Ye tore up the slave contract, Zhan Meng, Xia Ju, and Xia Mei were extremely grateful to him. Over time, they respected Tuoba Ye from the bottom of their hearts.

Duan Yu asked, "Zhan Meng, what do you say?"

Du Yusheng, Yuwen Lingfeng, and Qian Duoduo were all nervous. Zhan Meng's answer was crucial to them. Different answers could make a world of difference.

Zhan Meng said loudly, "Master bought me and immediately tore up the slave contract, treating me sincerely."

His answer left Du Yusheng and the others feeling weak, almost collapsing on the spot.

"Without a slave contract, that's good. To achieve success in the cultivation world, one must cut off all ties to the secular world," Duan Yu smiled and said happily, "Zhan Meng, do you wish to join the Immortal Sword Sect?"

"Thank you, Immortal Master, I am willing to join the Immortal Sword Sect!" Zhan Meng said.

Duan Yu quickly said, "Junior Brother Zhan Meng, just call me Senior Brother from now on, don't call me Immortal Master."

"Yes, Senior Brother."

"Mr. Tuoba Ye, although I cannot admit you as a disciple, I still want to thank you for providing an excellent disciple to our Immortal Sword Sect. This flying sword is a third-grade spirit weapon. Please accept it as a token of my gratitude," Duan Yu said, extremely pleased.

The disciples of the Immortal Sword Sect were indeed impressive, casually giving away a third-grade spirit weapon.

The surrounding cultivators from other sects were envious, let alone the ordinary people. Situ Bowu stared at the inch-long flying sword, filled with envy.

"Thank you, Immortal Master!" Tuoba Ye accepted it.

Although he had not learned sword techniques, Ying Huafei had recently learned many, and this would be useful for her. Moreover, if Ying Huafei had a flying sword, it would give her more options for survival and escape.

At this moment, Yuwen Jiewu of the Yuwen family was tested for his talent.

"Double-attribute constitution, very good," the representative of Qingcheng Sect said happily, "What's your name? Are you willing to join the Qingcheng Sect?"

Yuwen Jiewu was already dazed, standing there like a wooden statue.

Yuwen Lingfeng, excited and incoherent, said, "Brat, what are you waiting for? Hurry up, go and become a disciple... agree to join the Qingcheng Sect! Immortal Master, this is my grandson Yuwen Jiewu, he is willing to join the Qingcheng Sect."

Yuwen Jiewu came to his senses and said, "Immortal Master, I am very willing to join the Qingcheng Sect."

Du Yusheng's eyes were filled with envy, even a bit of jealousy, but he did not show it, smiling, "Head of the Yuwen family, congratulations! The Qingcheng Sect is a major sect on the Divine Martial Continent, second only to the nine major sects."

Yuwen Lingfeng was extremely excited, "Thank you, we are on the same side, we will support each other in the future."

In his excitement, he wanted to mock Tuoba Ye, but seeing Zhan Meng, his face turned grim.

Although Tuoba Ye had not yet joined a cultivation sect, the Tuoba family had produced Zhan Meng, who joined the Immortal Sword Sect. The Immortal Sword Sect was much better than the Qingcheng Sect and was one of the top nine major sects.

With the presence of the Immortal Sword Sect's experts, Yuwen Lingfeng did not dare to provoke Tuoba Ye, fearing that it might cause other troubles.

This time, the Warring States period was indeed good, producing many talented disciples.

The Qian family and the Du family each produced two disciples with triple-attribute constitutions, who were taken by medium-sized sects. The royal family also did well, with three disciples being selected, including Situ Yuer, who had already been reserved by the Xuan Nv Palace.

With disciples joining cultivation sects, the people of the three major families became arrogant again.

Although the Tuoba family was powerful, for now, only Zhan Meng had been taken by the Immortal Sword Sect, and he was not a direct descendant of the Tuoba family.

At this moment, the representative of the Divine Artifact Sect approached Duan Yu, "Senior Brother Duan Yu, you don't want any more from the Tuoba family, right?"

Duan Yu shook his head, "Take whoever you want. The Immortal Sword Sect only takes Zhan Meng."

The Divine Artifact Sect was a medium-sized sect, but they were skilled in artifact forging, and even the Immortal Sword Sect hoped to maintain good relations with them.

"You... yes, you, what's your name? Are you willing to join the Divine Artifact Sect?"

Tuoba Ji was surprised but then extremely happy, "My name is Tuoba Ji, I am very willing to join the Divine Artifact Sect."

After being tested for his talent, Tuoba Ji had some setbacks, as no one had come to select him for a long time, and he was starting to worry.

In fact, he did not know that other sects did not dare to snatch people in front of Duan Yu; otherwise, many sects would have already wanted Tuoba Ji.

Recently, many things had happened in the cultivation world of the Divine Martial Continent, and it was facing external threats. Therefore, the cultivation sects of the Divine Martial Continent were actively recruiting disciples to strengthen their power.

This was why so many sect representatives were present at the Warring States period. In previous Immortal Edges, at most five sect representatives would appear, and the least number of times, not a single cultivation sect sent representatives to the Warring States period. It showed how little the Warring States period, a remote and small country, was valued. If not for the impending major events in the cultivation world, today's situation would not have occurred.

In the past, young men and women with double-attribute constitutions were the targets of all sects, while those with triple-attribute constitutions were less favored.

Now, the situation was different, and young men and women with triple-attribute constitutions had also become the darlings of the cultivation sects.

Seeing Tuoba Ji join the Divine Artifact Sect, which was not inferior to the Qingcheng Sect, Yuwen Lingfeng, Qian Duoduo, and Du Yusheng's faces turned ugly.

The Divine Artifact Sect might not be as strong as the Qingcheng Sect, but they had their unique advantages, with a wider network of connections than the Qingcheng Sect, and even the Qingcheng Sect did not dare to offend the Divine Artifact Sect.

"The Tuoba family is really lucky!" Qian Duoduo lamented.

Yuwen Lingfeng said coldly, "The competition in the cultivation world is more intense, and few can achieve success. Do you think if someone dies unexpectedly, anyone would care?"

"Right! Why didn't I think of that!" Du Yusheng said excitedly, "Our three major families have many disciples joining cultivation sects. In the future, by providing them with resources and befriending some cultivation experts, we can create some accidents."

The heads of the three major families seemed to see hope and began to whisper again.

Tuoba Ye smiled, believing that Xia Ju and Xia Mei would also be wanted by some sects.

Sure enough, after the Divine Artifact Sect successfully recruited Tuoba Ji, other sects also became envious. Two experts from medium-sized sects stood up and walked towards Duan Yu, their intentions clear.

At this moment, Wuhua, who had been silent, stood up, "Senior Brother Duan Yu, I also want to ask for a favor."

"Of course, no problem!" Duan Yu happily agreed.

He was still single, and if he could build a good relationship with a disciple of the Xuan Nv Palace, he might find a cultivation partner.

The two experts from the medium-sized sects did not speak, as they did not dare to offend the Xuan Nv Palace.

Wuhua walked to Xia Ju and Xia Mei and asked, "Are you twin sisters?"

"Immortal Master, we are indeed twin sisters. I am the elder sister, Xia Mei, and she is my younger sister, Xia Ju," Xia Mei said gracefully.

"Xia Mei, Xia Ju, are you willing to join the Xuan Nv Palace?" Wuhua smiled.

Xia Mei and Xia Ju were extremely excited, "We are willing!"

"Great! Follow me later," Wuhua smiled.

"Immortal Master, thank you so much!" Tuoba Ye said sincerely.

Wuhua smiled faintly, "They are not also slaves of your family, right?"

"Immortal Master, you are right, but please rest assured, their slave contracts were torn up long ago, and they are free," Tuoba Ye said.

"Senior Brother Duan Yu gave you a third-grade spirit weapon, I can't be stingy. Here, I will give you a Tianxuan Pill, which will help you become a Qi Condensation Realm expert," Wuhua said with a smile.

This was a rule in the cultivation world, to help the chosen ones sever their ties to the secular world.

"Junior Sister Wuhua, you are really generous!" Seeing Wuhua take out a Tianxuan Pill, even Duan Yu was somewhat surprised. The value of a Tianxuan Pill was very high, even more expensive than a third-grade spirit weapon.

Many disciples with poor talent could not enter the Qi Condensation Realm and needed to rely on pills to advance.

The descendants of cultivation experts mostly had average talent, and some even lacked spiritual roots, making the Tianxuan Pill very popular.

Seeing Tuoba Ye receive a Tianxuan Pill so easily, everyone present was envious.

Wuhua smiled, "Not really. I have an elder who wants to take in a pair of twin sisters to inherit their legacy. They have repeatedly instructed me, so I naturally cannot be negligent. Senior Brother Duan Yu, you know, twin sisters with spiritual roots are extremely rare!"

"That's true. Nowadays, it's hard to find talented disciples, let alone twin sisters!" Duan Yu agreed.

They, who were responsible for recruiting disciples, were under tremendous pressure recently because the sects had a huge demand for disciples.
