CHAPTER 895: CHAPTER 726: TALENT

"Planning to establish a branch of Lingxiao Palace and open a Grotto Heaven on Buzhou Mountain?"

Xie Yusheng looked at Chao Jiuyin, who had brought this news, and couldn’t suppress his joy: "Everyone, as long as they have talent and pass the assessment, can join Lingxiao Palace and receive key training. Those with outstanding performance can even be sent to the headquarters of Lingxiao Palace to cultivate to become Saints or True Immortals, and extend their lifespan to five hundred, or even live for a thousand years!?"

"Indeed, we have already sent someone to survey the terrain of Buzhou Mountain and select a location for establishing the Grotto Heaven. Out of respect for Blue Star’s sovereignty, we are deliberately informing you in advance."

Chao Jiuyin nodded.

"I will report this news to the head of the True Immortal Research Institute immediately."

Xie Yusheng said promptly.

In the past two years, the True Immortal Research Institute, and indeed all Blue Star people, have repeatedly attempted to enter the Longevity World, hoping to join Lingxiao Palace to seek the hope of Eternal Life.

However, the fear caused by the arrival of the Lingxiao Palace Master remained vivid, even after more than two years, and had yet to dissipate completely. In such circumstances, although they tried to probe Lingxiao Palace’s attitude and sought a quota to study in the Longevity World, due to the lack of response from the other side, they dared not act rashly.

Now, Lingxiao Palace is willing to set up a branch on Buzhou Mountain and recruit disciples from Blue Star, with those who excel being able to go to the main palace for advanced study...

He could almost foresee how delighted the True Immortal Research Institute would be once this news got out.

"As a disciple of the Palace Master, you should naturally take on corresponding duties. In theory, you should be the Palace Master of this branch, but considering the inconvenience of your identity on Blue Star, and the fact that you have not cultivated for long, we will have Su Nanxing, Leng Tianfeng, and Gu Qingmei act as Deputy Palace Masters, and appoint you as an elder of the branch, to oversee the first batch of disciple assessments. The quota for the first batch of disciples is eight hundred. We will set up a formation for preliminary screening, and you will be responsible for the second round of assessments of those who pass the preliminary screening."

Chao Jiuyin said.

This was also Gu Jinlai’s intention.

Since Xie Xiaowan, he had only taken two disciples.

One was Leng Tianfeng, who had an astonishing talent in cultivating the Eternal Furnace, achieving Mahayana in just over a decade. The other was Xie Yusheng, brought by fate.

As for the others, like Su Nanxing and Gu Chaoyang, they were already capable of managing on their own.

This time, he appointed Su Nanxing, equipped with a Divine Weapon and having cultivated to a Void Immortal, as the Lingxiao Palace Master, with Leng Tianfeng and Gu Qingmei as his aides.

With Leng Tianfeng having achieved Mahayana in the Eternal Furnace, his combat power was formidable, especially in Blue Star’s environment, where spiritual energy is lacking, allowing him to maintain full combat power at all times.

As for Gu Qingmei, her approach followed the Martial Arts path.

Moreover, with recent advancements by Duanmu Chengyun and others, aided by Tian Qingzi and Dan Chenzi, in perfecting the Human Immortal path, she had already cultivated to Human Immortal through this newly paved route.

While this level of strength might not be enough in the Profound Immortal Realm, on Blue Star...

It is sufficient to dominate the world.

The responsibility for martial power falls adequately on these three, sparing Xie Yusheng from having to lead the charge.

"This... being responsible for the first batch of disciple assessments, might it be..."

Xie Yusheng felt it was a bit high-profile.

Chao Jiuyin knew what he meant, worried that someone might approach him for favors that he couldn’t refuse, leading to unqualified individuals entering the Lingxiao Palace branch.

She decisively said: "No worries, Palace Master Su will arrange more people to assist you. You are just one of the six assessment elders."

"That’s good then."

Xie Yusheng nodded: "I will go and inform the True Immortal Research Institute immediately."

Just as he had anticipated.

Once this news was announced, the entire True Immortal Research Institute, and even the upper echelons of the Blue Star Security Council, were overjoyed.

Even though some people realized that Lingxiao Palace’s establishment of a branch on Blue Star was akin to completing a colonial rule over Blue Star indirectly,

Yet...

On one hand, Lingxiao Palace granted the people of Blue Star significant autonomy, almost without shaking their governance, while bringing them a hope they dared not usually dream of—Changsheng (Longevity).

On the other hand...

The technological gap between the two sides was so vast.

So vast it was indescribable with words.

Like an impoverished person from ancient times suddenly coming to the modern era, just needing to work hard to earn money to live in a clean room, wear tidy, warm clothes, eating meals containing meat they never dared dream of in daily life. Under such circumstances, not to mention working eight hours a day, even if it were ten, twelve, fourteen hours, they would do it gladly.

Under such a grand backdrop, the upper echelons swiftly took action.

Especially when they learned that Xie Yusheng, through his connection with Lu Ya from Qian Star, directly entered the Lingxiao Palace branch and became a member.

Not only that.

Because he is from Blue Star, considering his understanding of his fellow people, Lingxiao Palace branch actually gave him a temporary position as an elder specifically responsible for disciple assessments.

Once this assessment task is done, after selecting eight hundred qualified elite disciples for the branch, he would have the opportunity to become a permanent elder, rising up to become a high-ranking member of the Lingxiao Palace branch.

After this news spread, everyone seemed to go mad.

Zhao Tianfeng was the first to bring his granddaughter over, arranging her to be Xie Yusheng’s life assistant.

Others were likewise finding all sorts of ways to place people around him.
