Assisting the male protagonist to become a god: The first spiritualist

As soon as Hua Yi said this, there was another commotion on the field.

Many disciples began to whisper.

"Three thousand two hundred steps?"

"It's still between 4,000 and 7,500 steps. How can I carry it? I only climbed to 5,000 steps by myself..."

"If he didn't carry this, he might be able to go further on his own..."

Listening to what the people around her said, Fu Sheng thought to herself: No, if I didn't carry the hero on my back, with her laziness, she would have already failed at the 4,000th step.

In response to Hua Yi's question, Fu Sheng said, "Can't I carry it on my back?"

She herself didn't realize that she had climbed to the 7,500th step while carrying the male protagonist on her back. In fact, she had lost consciousness when she reached over 6,000 steps.

"I can't carry it on my back." Hua Yi replied, "Before the Immortal Stairway was opened, there was a rule that one cannot rely on external objects, only on oneself, so the steps you carried on your back cannot be counted as Fu Yi's steps."

"..."

Fu Sheng looked pale.

So she's working so hard to gain weight?

"Likewise..." Hua Yi continued, "The last 7,500 to 10,000 levels that Fu Yi held you at cannot be counted as part of your level."

If Hua Yi's previous remarks about Fu Sheng carrying Yan Su on his back only caused discussion, then this sentence was like a stone that caused a thousand ripples, making the entire hall explode.

"What? What did I hear? Fu Yi carried his brother from the 7500 level to the 10000 level?"

"It's not carrying, it's hugging! What does this mean? It means he walked!!"

"That's between 7,500 and 10,000 steps?! I can't even reach that level even if there are ten more!"

"He carried the person and reached the 10,000th step. The pressure on the cloud steps in the front was much lighter than that in the back. In other words, even if his brother hadn't carried him before, he could have reached the 10,000th step by himself!"

"By the way... have you overlooked one thing? Fu Yi was poisoned..."

The whole place was boiling with excitement. Not only the new disciples, but also the former disciples, were looking at Yan Su with shocked eyes.

"What rank was the first place in our class?"

"It's far from it, it seems to be 6,700 steps..."

There was a lot of discussion on the field, and everyone was surrounding Fu Yi.

Lan Huaiyu listened and his eyes fell on Yan Su.

He clenched his fists tightly without knowing when.

He was clearly the first, but all the honors and praises went to another person.

Before coming here, he had learned about the previous records of the Stairway to Immortality. In the past ten years, no disciple had climbed the 8,000 steps.

He tried his best, and in the end, covered in blood, he climbed up to the 8,800th step.

In the end, the limelight was stolen by another person.

Here it is again...

Before it was Yan Su, but now Yan Su is finally gone. He waited for the clouds to clear and the moon to appear, but another person came to suppress him.

Lan Huaiyu's face was as dark as ink, and at this moment, a hand beside him held him.

Lan Huaiyu turned his head and saw Lan Huaixi looking at him, her eyes full of relief and worry.

Lan Huaiyu put away the gloom in his heart and whispered to Lan Huaixi: "Brother is fine."

Hearing this, Lan Huaixi smiled at him and then put her hand away.

Her gaze, along with everyone else's, fell on the man on the far left, dressed in snow-white clothes, named Fu Yi. Lan Huaixi frowned slightly, looking at his figure, as if thinking about something.

"Okay, be quiet..." Hua Yi said, "What's the point of making a fuss?!"

Having said that, there was no sign of displeasure on his face.

He deliberately told everyone about the situation of the Immortal Staircase under the pretext of explanation. The old thief Xiao He wanted to reduce the number of steps that the two people had to carry on each other's backs, but this reduction concealed the true abilities of the two people.

How can a peerless genius who was poisoned, holding someone, and climbed 10,000 steps be simply introduced as 6,800 steps?

When Fu Sheng expressed his doubts at that time, he was very happy.

He was also very satisfied with the reactions of the people on the field.

"The ranking of the Immortal Stairway has been revealed. Next, the first to the hundredth person will go on stage to choose a teacher in order of ranking."

"The seats of the venerables from left to right are: the master of Xuyou Peak, Venerable Wuwei; the master of Qingtian Peak, Venerable Lingxiao; the master of Yuyun Peak, Venerable Qionghua. And the master of Xueyue Peak, Venerable Tianzhan, who is this deity."

"In addition, the master will also select one of the new disciples as his last disciple."

The last sentence shocked the new disciples, but when they heard that only one person would be recruited, they all looked discouraged.

It is said that it is among the freshmen, but to put it bluntly, it is only possible among the top three, or even only the first one.

After Hua Yi finished the announcement, he handed the roster to Fu Wen and then sat down in his seat.

Fu Wen held the list in his hand, stood on the stage, and said loudly: "The apprenticeship ceremony officially begins. Now, the first place winner, Lan Huaiyu, becomes the apprentice—"

Upon hearing this, Lan Huaiyu stepped out of the queue and walked onto the stage via the jade steps at the side.

He barely glanced at the four venerables, and walked directly in front of the headmaster, bowed his head and clasped his fists, saying: "Disciple Lan Huaiyu, I am eighteen years old this year, in the early stage of the Nascent Soul stage, and I have long admired the name of Saint Yan Zhenren. I would like to worship Saint Yan Zhenren as my master, and I beg Saint Yan Zhenren to accept me as his disciple!"

Lan Huaiyu is very famous in the entire world of immortal cultivation. He is an eighteen-year-old Nascent Soul, a young genius, and the only son of the Lan family. No matter in terms of talent, strength, identity, or background, he is excellent.

Fu Sheng couldn't help but feel a little nervous as he watched. In the novel, the hero was accepted as the last disciple by the sect leader as he was the first to ascend to immortality.

Now because of the butterfly effect, the plot has changed and Lan Huaiyu has been added. If he is accepted by the leader, what will happen to the male protagonist?

Hearing Lan Huaiyu's words, the head of the sect looked at him and said, "You are very talented and have a very good physique. I have watched your performance in ascending the immortal ladder and know that you are diligent and hardworking."

Listening to the master's comments, Lan Huaiyu couldn't help but smile with joy: "Disciple thanks Master Shengyan for the praise!"

The head of the sect nodded and continued, "But unfortunately, you and I are not destined to be master and disciple. I already have a disciple in mind. You are very capable and will not be buried anywhere. You can choose one of the four peak masters as your master."

Lan Huaiyu's smile gradually faded as the headmaster spoke. He lowered his head, his fists clenched until they turned red without him noticing. After a long while, he whispered, "...Yes!"

Seeing that the master did not accept Lan Huaiyu as his disciple, Fu Sheng felt relieved.

The plot is still very powerful. It seems that the leader will accept the male protagonist as his disciple in the end.

Fu Sheng thought that Lan Huaiyu would eventually take Xiao He as his master. After all, whether in terms of qualifications or background, Xiao He was quite famous in the Xuanxian Sect.

However, unexpectedly, Lan Huaiyu actually walked up to the only female among the four venerables - the master of Yuyun Peak, Venerable Qionghua.

Shi Qing'e was a little surprised when she saw that Lan Huaiyu wanted to take her as his master. She was the third in seniority among the four venerables, not as famous as Xiao He, and not as talented as Hua Yi. She didn't expect that Lan Huaiyu would choose her.

In the end, Shi Qing'e naturally agreed to Lan Huaiyu's request to become his disciple.

After Lan Huaiyu finished his apprenticeship, Fu Wen continued: "The second place is Fu Sheng’s apprenticeship—"
