It’s quite an amusing tale, Zhao Sheng had lived for six lifetimes before he finally took a master for the first time today, and the way he did it was so perfunctory and slapdash.
Ironically, his master was someone with an incredibly formidable background, none other than a Nascent Soul Middle Stage powerhouse.
The Beggar Immortal gazed at his disciple with a smile after he finished kowtowing nine times, only then did he extend a hand to lift Zhao Sheng up, while casually probing the various parts of his body.
Zhao Sheng only felt a strand of Qi suddenly penetrate his body, and in the blink of an eye, the Qi circulated with his blood throughout his entire body.
"Haha, heaven never seals off all the exits!"
A moment later, the Beggar Immortal retracted his hand with great satisfaction and laughed heartily, "The old beggar has searched for nearly a thousand years, and at last, I have found an excellent disciple."
"Qingyang, the Innate Yuan Qi within your body is immeasurably dense and comparable to that of a Dragon Whale. What’s most delightful is that you’ve even refined a wisp of Golden Crow True Fire."

The Beggar Immortal walked around Zhao Sheng, his eyes brimming with utmost satisfaction and joy, as if he had just discovered his most cherished treasure.
"Haha, everything is as intended by heaven! Your extraordinary physique is the perfect candidate for cultivating the ’Taiqing Nine Yang Technique.’ How wondrous, truly wondrous!"
As he spoke, the Beggar Immortal lifted his messy hair and took off a grey cloth bag from his waist, handing it over to Zhao Sheng.
"My disciple, this is a little token of my heart intent. Accept it!"
Zhao Sheng did not refuse and accepted the bag, opening it to take a look, he instantly inhaled sharply and his face involuntarily showed surprise and astonishment.
One can’t blame him for looking like a greenhorn who had never seen the world, simply because his own master had given too generously.
The space inside the cloth bag was frighteningly large, measuring twenty zhang in length, width, and height. Just the pile of top-grade spiritual stones alone was estimated to be at least a hundred pieces, not to mention the five top-grade Spirit Stones inside that spiraled with Spiritual Energy and contained subdued radiance.
Besides the spiritual stones, the other treasures were all Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures of the finest kind, with the majority being piles of pink-colored meat chunks that still emitted a faint oppressive aura. At a glance, one could tell they were High-level demon beast meat, and they might even have been cut from a Seventh-rank Demon King.
"Thank you for the gift, Master!" Zhao Sheng immediately pocketed the cloth bag and thanked him deeply.
"Hehe, this is nothing. Don’t just look at this beggar’s poor face, but when it comes to wealth, I’ve lived my life inferior to no one. Do you know about the Pocket World City down the mountain?" the Beggar Immortal asked with a face full of pride.
Before Zhao Sheng could flatter him, he boasted himself, "The underground black market of Pocket World City is covered by me."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Sheng appropriately showed a hint of marvel, then kept praising his master for his impressiveness.
Zhao Xuanjing watched the master and disciple act foolishly with a smile and remained silent, merely observing them.
As a Nascent Soul Ancestor who had climbed up from the lowest levels of the Cultivation World, the Beggar Immortal certainly wouldn’t be so shallow.
His performance just now was likely a deliberate act, and it was difficult to guess why the Beggar Immortal would do such a thing.
However, in Zhao Xuanjing’s eyes, it seemed like Qingyang was deeply favored by the Beggar Immortal, and the master-disciple pair got along very harmoniously.
Just at that moment, a gust of wind suddenly came from within the inner side of the secret mansion.
Zhao Xuanjing, Zhao Sheng, and the Beggar Immortal all turned their heads in unison to look, seeing a short and plump figure shooting out of the cave entrance like a whirlwind, arriving in front of the three in just a few movements.
"Dehe pays respect to great Ancestor. This grandchild has arrived late, please forgive me!" Zhao Dehe bowed deeply with respectful manners.
Zhao Xuanjing waved his hand, "No need for such courtesy!"
After speaking, he pointed his hand and said, "Beggar Immortal is here, come and pay your respects."
Hearing this, Zhao Dehe was greatly shocked, "If the Ancestor calls him a senior, then that must mean this person is a Nascent Soul Ancestor!"
With that thought, he hurriedly paid his respects to the Beggar Immortal.
Only after he had paid his respects to the Beggar Immortal did it finally come Zhao Qingyang’s turn.
After paying respects to all three, Zhao Dehe felt uneasy and couldn’t help muttering, "Both family ancestors have come to the secret mansion and even brought an outsider, could it be that something earth-shattering has happened outside?"
Zhao Xuanjing had no intention of explaining the truth to Zhao Dehe, he simply instructed him to continue guarding the secret mansion in peace, then let him leave.
Zhao Dehe, with a head full of confusion, didn’t dare to ask further and immediately turned around, returning to the subterranean cave.
After this interruption, Zhao Xuanjing finally found the opportunity to ask the Beggar Immortal earnestly, "May I ask senior, is True Monarch Xie currently in Ghost Chi Cave Heaven?"
The Beggar Immortal’s gaze sharpened, and he asked strangely, "What do you want with Old Man Xie? You’re not thinking of meeting him, are you?"
"Without concealing it from you, senior, that is indeed my intention."
The Beggar Immortal shook his head repeatedly, "No, no! Ghost Chi Cave Heaven is now heavily guarded, even I can’t find a chance to sneak in. And with Old Man Xie busy managing everything, he has no spare time to meet you." Stay connected via Freewebnovel
After saying this, his gaze drifted to Zhao Sheng and he proactively asked, "Fellow Daoist Xiang Long, have you run into some difficulty? Speak up and let me listen, this old beggar has a bit of clout in Central Continent, perhaps I could help resolve your troubles."
Hearing this, Zhao Sheng also felt very curious.
Zhao Xuanjing hurriedly brought him to Heavenly Pillar Mountain, could it be just to meet True Monarch Xie?
"What exactly is the matter?" Zhao Sheng secretly speculated.
Zhao Xuanjing appeared cheerful and quickly said, "From what you say, it seems True Monarch Xie is still in Ghost Chi Cave Heaven."
"Yep, not just him, there’s also a bunch of Nascent Soul Fellow Daoists and Formation experts inside.
For that silly ghost plan, a group of them have been busying themselves for decades. As for the final outcome, whether good or bad, no one dares to guarantee!
In my opinion, the Tianzhu Realm will sooner or later be ruined by these people!"
