The cultivation of immortality by mortals begins with the abandoned children of the river

"Nianchuan is here, come in." Tong Dachuan flicked his sleeves, and the door opened with a bang.

"Disciple pays homage to Uncle Tong." Zhan Nianchuan's eyes lit up when he saw the dazzling Tong Xi when he entered the door, and he saluted respectfully.

Tong Xi's smile was like a hundred flowers in bloom, "Junior Brother Zhan, we are all familiar with each other, so there is no need to be polite."

"Okay, Nianchuan, the secret realm of Nanlu will be opened in Lingxi Sect in seven months. We have a quota among the outer disciples of Lindan Peak. I and your uncle have decided to let you go." Tong Dachuan said Something happened that made Zhan Nianchuan extremely happy.

Now he has opened four life orifices and has broken through to the fourth level of the orifice realm. His strength has greatly improved. He is confident that he can fight against the inner disciples of various sects. Naturally, he is extremely eager to enter the secret realm of Nanlu to seize the spirit for refining the foundation building pill. Herbal elixir.

"Disciple thanks Master and Uncle Master."

Tong Dachuan nodded and solemnly reminded: "Nianchuan, the secret realm at the southern foot is extremely dangerous. There are many forbidden and powerful monsters in it. All forces gather together and will use any means to snatch treasures and elixirs. Those who entered the secret realm after opening it in the past More than 50% of the disciples have died, you must be prepared."

"Of course, I am assured of your strength. After you enter, your biggest task will naturally be to pick and snatch the spiritual grass and elixir for refining the Foundation Establishment Pill. Of all the harvest, except for half taken by the Yunlan Sect, the rest will be taken away by the Sect. The door will take 60%, Fengnei will take 20%, and you personally can get 20%.”

These messages were extremely precious. Zhan Nianchuan listened carefully and gained a deeper understanding of the dangers of the secret realm.

"This is for you."

Tong Dachuan threw a green talisman to Zhan Nianchuan. On it was a fiery red python swimming slowly, exuding amazing power.

This turned out to be a high-grade Xuan-level talisman!

"The secret realm is extremely dangerous. The first outer disciples of each peak have endless potential, but their strength is not outstanding, so each peak will leave some backup for them." Tong Dachuan's tone was very calm, as if he was talking about something very ordinary. things.

Zhan Nianchuan carefully put the talisman into his arms and thanked Tong Dachuan again. He knew that he was not a junior with unlimited potential. He was really grateful that Tong Dachuan could do this.

"By the way, Junior Brother Zhan, if you meet Junior Sister Leng Bingqing from Qingling Peak in the secret realm, please take care of her for me. If you have a chance, you can join forces with her." Tong Xi interjected from the side.

A lonely and cold beautiful figure appeared in Zhan Nianchuan's mind. Zhan Nianchuan nodded, "Senior Sister Leng is much stronger than me. I can do it."

"In addition, you have been an outer disciple for almost a year. You must go down the mountain to complete a sect training alone. I also have something that I need you to do now." Tong Dachuan ordered.

Zhan Nianchuan looked solemn and said, "Master, please give me your instructions."

"You take my token and go to Yuyue County to investigate the reason why the number of talented disciples has decreased significantly in recent years. The scope of my recruitment of disciples at Lindan Peak is basically within this Yuyue County, but in the past ten years, The number of talented disciples in Yuyue County is decreasing every time. Especially this time, only a few hundred disciples were recruited during the selection. This is absolutely abnormal. You have to help me get to the bottom of it." Tong Dachuan's face was gloomy. horrible.

Zhan Nianchuan agreed immediately, and then made his request:

"Master, can this mission be carried out secretly without notifying the sect?"

"Of course, no one knows where you went except the two of us." Tong Dachuan assured.

This made Zhan Nianchuan completely relieved. His only worries now were Liu Weimao and Bai Tianchi. If these two people knew that he was going out alone, they would take action against him.

"Master, I want to check the specific information on recruiting disciples in recent years. I also need to go to the Classics Pavilion to make some preparations." Zhan Nianchuan knew that this mission would probably rely more on brains than brute force. It felt a bit Tricky.

Tong Dachuan nodded and threw out his token.

...

Classics Pavilion.

Zhan Nianchuan was looking carefully at the register of Xuantian Sect's entry-level disciples in his hand. After showing Tong Dachuan's token, he successfully obtained the register of disciples of each peak in the past twenty-one years.

A few hours later, Zhan Nianchuan closed the register and began to think quietly.

"Master was injured and went into seclusion to recuperate twenty-one years ago. Twenty-one years ago, eighteen years ago, and fifteen years ago, the situation of recruiting disciples was not much different from the past. It was just a slight decrease. After all, there is no way for people in the world. Knowing the specific conditions of each peak in the sect, most people cannot be picky and are lucky to be able to enter the sect. "

"But twelve years ago, the number of disciples recruited suddenly dropped by 30%. Nine years ago, it continued to drop by 20%. Six years ago, it also dropped by 10%. Three years ago, it dropped by half a percent again. This year, it dropped by half a percent again. Originally, every year In three years, we could recruit thousands of disciples, but now there are only 300. No wonder Master feels something is wrong. "

Putting his fingers lightly on the table, Zhan Nianchuan continued to think about the difficult problem he was responsible for.

"It seems that the abnormal situation occurred twelve years ago and lasted for more than ten years. Who planned it for so long? What did he want to do?"

After thinking about it, Zhan Nianchuan decided to ask the person who was responsible for recruiting disciples twelve years ago. From the list, it seemed that the person who was responsible for recruiting disciples was relatively familiar to Zhan Nianchuan, Chen Qizhi.

But he immediately dismissed the idea.

It's not that he doesn't want to ask, but he doesn't want more people to know about it. If it spreads and gets Liu Weimao and Bai Tianchi into trouble, it's better to do it secretly.

"Every time I go out, the person in charge of recruiting disciples is different. It seems unlikely that the people in the peak will collude with outsiders."

Putting aside the matter of finding the reason for the decrease in talented disciples in Yuyue County, Zhan Nianchuan took out a chronicle of the immortal world and began to read it carefully.

As he read, Zhan Nianchuan's eyes began to light up, and his fingers tapped on the table from time to time.
