Chapter 632: Chapter 219: The Despair of Knowing Longevity but Unable to Obtain It, the Dao Fruit Nurtures All Five Zang Divine Gang_3
Xi Xi earnestly said.
Bian Yuanlong, upon hearing this, his simple smile quivered, and he couldn’t help but stiffen, a look of astonishment coloring his face.
What kind of dumb luck did his teacher, Nan Lihuo, have to be taken as a master by such a Divine Child?
Bian Yuanlong, now ranking third on the Divine Sect Outer Sect List of Extraordinary Persons, was striving to break into the List of Extraordinary Persons…
He had been in the Divine Sect for almost eight years and had never made it onto a list, while Xi Xi was listed the moment she started, highlighting the sometimes enourmous disparity between people!
Such a little junior sister, Bian Yuanlong was definitely going to treasure and protect her.
Li Che did not go over to disturb them, choosing instead to watch warmly from a distance. Bian Yuanlong… in his perception, did not harbor any malice or hostility, so there was no need for Li Che to worry about Xi Xi’s safety.
"Seems like Nan Lihuo has quite the knack for taking disciples. First Zhou Daoyuan, then Bian Yuanlong, and now he takes Xi Xi on top of that
"To be named on the True Inheritor List, the List of Extraordinary Persons, and the Chu Long List at the same time is extremely difficult… It’s rare in a hundred years.”
Li Che’s eyes flashed with a hint of confusion: “Can one be named on the List of Extraordinary Persons and True Inheritor List at the same time?”
"Isn’t the List of Extraordinary Persons exclusively for outstanding disciples from the Outer Sect?”
"And the True Inheritor List, as the name suggests, requires one to be a true successor, right?”
As they walked into the yard, Jiao Shaoqiu continued with a smile, “Theoretically it’s very difficult, but not impossible.”
"The List of Extraordinary Persons is different from the rankings, as the rankings are exclusively for Outer Disciples, but the List of Extraordinary Persons includes both Inner and Outer Disciples.”
"There are restrictions for the List of Extraordinary Persons, as it’s only for disciples under thirty years of age from both the Inner and Outer Sects. As for the True Inheritor List, there are far fewer restrictions.”
Jiao Shaoqiu continued, “Take Yellow Sword Wine, for example, he’s sixty years old this year and ranks second on the True Inheritor List. And within the True Inheritor List, there is even a cultivator over a hundred years old
"True Successors are those who are disciples under the Sect Master of Qian Yuan Divine Sect or an Inner Sect Elder, but each Inner Sect Elder has only twelve True Successor spots.”
Jiao Shaoqiu led Li Che inside the house, took a seat at the table, and they began chatting.
On the first day a disciple is admitted, family members are allowed to stay in the Divine Sect overnight, so Jiao Shaoqiu even prepared to treat them hospitably, sending Nie Yang to the city to buy some food and drinks.
Li Che, Li Qingshan, Old Chen, and others all sat down to chat with Elder Jiao.
Outside the house, in the courtyard, the spring rain was pitter-pattering, exceptionally serene.
The air was filled with magnificent and boiling divinity, because within the entire Divine Sect Mountain Gate, there were Strange Temples standing tall, making the divinity extraordinarily rich.
Along the way, Li Che had seen several Ten Capitals Strange Temples, casually decorating the roadside like flowers.
There wasn’t even a warning barrier.
However, for the Nine Luminaries Strange Temple, the Divine Sect did take it a bit more seriously, sending stationed disciples to watch over it. Of course, these stationed disciples could receive contributions from the sect and Divinity Crystals.
Within the Divine Sect, tasks to guard the Strange Temples were extremely competitive.
With so many Strange Temples piled up within a single Mountain Gate, it naturally created an incredibly dense atmosphere for divine cultivation.
The richness of divinity in Golden Light Prefecture is because of the Four Royal Third Prince Strange Temple.
And within the Divine Sect, not only is there a Four Royal Strange Temple, but there is also a Five Elders Strange Temple and four Six Divisions Strange Temples!
Moreover, spurred by the encouragement and competition from the various lists, the cultivation atmosphere could hardly be fuller!
"Elder Jiao, how many Inner Sect Elders are there in total?”
Li Che asked curiously.
"Seven.”
Jiao Shaoqiu took a sip of tea and smiled, “So there are a total of eighty-four True Successors among the Elders.”
"The Deputy Sect Master also has twelve True Successor spots, and finally the Sect Master, whose disciples are usually known as Direct Disciples, with no limit on the number… but among all the previous Sect Masters, the most Direct Disciples one has had is only seven.”
"This time, the Sect Master has taken a fifth Direct Disciple, causing a stir in all directions.”
"And has set the age limit to not exceed ten years old, which is also the age range for the Chu Long List.”
Upon hearing this, Li Che took a deep breath.
That meant out of nearly ten thousand disciples in Qian Yuan Divine Sect, there were only about a hundred True Successors.
"The True Inheritor List is recorded in the ‘Qiankun Dao Yun,’ with only ten spots, and aside from those on the True Inheritor List, there are only thirty spots on the True Successor Rankings.”
It seemed like Jiao Shaoqiu understood Li Che’s confusion, so he explained further.
"So now you understand how difficult it is for Xi Xi to be named on all three lists? I too am only holding a small amount of hope.”
They chatted away, listening to the spring rain.
After a while, Nie Yang returned, followed by a disheartened vagrant carrying a battered sword box with a vacant look in his eyes.
Seeing Yellow Sword Wine’s condition, Jiao Shaoqiu frowned: “What happened to you? Did you try to flatter that Boss Lady of the tavern into giving you a free drink and got rejected again?”
As if the words “drink money” triggered a sensitive nerve, Yellow Sword Wine immediately jolted awake and hurriedly shook his head, “No, no
"I just can’t remember who hit me
"Plus… there’s a scent of wine that haunts my dreams, making me itch with longing… but I can’t remember where that scent came from?”
Yellow Sword Wine clutched his head in agony, teeth clenched, as if ants were crawling all over him.
With his craving for alcohol ignited, but without satisfying liquor, he was in intolerable discomfort.
Li Che scratched his head…
