Chapter 46: First meeting with Han Lao Mo
Senior Brother Wang was the first to reply to Zhong Ling, "It's not bad, but the Moon-Shattering Sect took the lead this time, alas..."

"What do you mean?" Zhong Lingdao asked doubtfully.

Senior Brother Wang explained in a heavy tone, "This time, the Yanyue Sect has recruited another disciple with a natural spiritual root."

Zhong Lingdao's face darkened when he heard this. "What about our Yellow Maple Valley?"

"Our Huangfeng Valley has recruited a disciple with wind-attributed spiritual roots this time, as well as a formation master. The rest are disciples with second or third spiritual roots," Senior Brother Wang reported.

"Extraordinary spiritual roots, and a formation master! What are the qualifications of the formation master? What's going on with those two mortals?" Zhong Lingdao's gloomy expression eased.

"The formation master is our Junior Brother Yun's Taoist partner. He has the three spiritual roots of water, fire and wood. However, under the training of our Junior Brother Yun, he has reached the twelfth level of Qi training. I think his chances of building a foundation should be good. As for the two mortals, Junior Brother Yun's relatives, he said that he will send them to the Yun family in two days," said Senior Brother Wang with a smile.

"Oh! I heard from Junior Brother Yun that he already has a Taoist partner, but I didn't expect that he is also a formation master," Zhong Lingdao recalled.

Afterwards, after completing the entry registration for everyone, Zhong Lingdao said, "The sect will distribute Foundation Establishment Pills to the new disciples three months later. Next, your Uncle Martial Master Wang will lead you to handle various matters related to the new disciples."

After hearing this, Yun Hao took the three girls to see Senior Brother Lin alone. After helping Xing Ruyin get the entry-level equipment, he returned to the cave.

Xin Ruyin was not unfamiliar with the cave because she had been here before, but Yan and Mo Caihuan were a little interested and looked around the cave.

Yun Hao first rested in the cave for a day, and then let Xin Ruyin practice in the cave, while he took Yan Shi and Mo Caihuan back to Yunwu Mountain.

After a few days, the three finally arrived at Yunwu Mountain and entered the restricted formation.

When Yan's mother saw her younger sister Yan Yan, she was so excited that she almost shed tears. "Sister, have you been doing well these years?"

Upon hearing this, Yan's nose twitched and two clear tears flowed down her face. "Oh! Sister, please don't mention this matter. If I were fine, why would I come to you in such a miserable state?"

"Sister, what happened to make you and Caihuan end up like this?" the strict mother asked with concern.

Afterwards, Yan told her mother everything she had experienced over the years, until she met Yun Hao that day and was saved by him...

"Oh! The younger sister can live here with her sister in peace," said Yan's mother to comfort Yan's mother and daughter.

Yun Hao lived with his son in Yunwu Mountain for two months and then returned to the Jinjiling Cave to practice.

Time passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye it was the day for distributing the Foundation Establishment Pills. That day Yun Hao came to the Sect Master's Hall again. Sitting in the Sect Master's Hall were the same Foundation Establishment managers from half a month ago.

After walking in, Yun Hao first greeted Zhong Lingdao, and then sat aside like the other four people and waited.

After a while, a foundation-building manager came in with a tray in his hand.

I saw that the tray was covered with a red cloth, and the Foundation Building Manager said to Zhong Lingdao, "Master Brother, the Foundation Building Pill has been brought out."

Zhong Lingdao took the tray, tore off the red cloth, and saw ten small porcelain bottles on the tray. "My fellow brothers, the foundation-building pills are here. Let's prepare to distribute them now."

But at this moment, a deacon disciple outside the door came in, bowed and reported, "Master, several uncles, a cultivator holding the Ascension Order of our Huangfeng Valley has come outside the valley."

“Huh? Ascension Order! Are you sure it’s the Ascension Order from our Huangfeng Valley? I’m not seeing it wrong!” Sect Leader Zhong Lingdao was surprised.

The deacon disciple confirmed again and again, "Disciple has seen it in the sect's classics. The Ascension Order in the hands of the cultivator outside is exactly the same as what is recorded in the sect's classics."

Zhong Lingdao pondered for a while before saying quietly, "Since it is the Ascension Order issued by our sect, why don't you go and bring the person in."

When the deacon disciple heard this, he bowed and saluted before leaving the hall.

When Yun Hao heard this, he knew that it was the old demon Han who came to pay a visit to the mountain.

Speaking of the Ascension Order, it was made by the seven major sects of Yue State and was issued by the seven major sects to the families that had made great contributions. The Ascension Order can be freely traded among the major immortal cultivation families, so the seven major sects only recognize the order and not the person. It can be said that whoever gets an Ascension Order will ascend to heaven in one step.

The function of the Ascension Order is that as long as the person holding the order finds the corresponding sect, the effect will be the same as that of the ten disciples who won the Ascension Conference. Not only can they join the sect, but they can also get a foundation-building pill.

After just a moment, the deacon disciple came in with Han Li, who was about eighteen or nineteen years old.

As soon as Han Li came in, Yun Hao saw that Han Li was wearing a green robe, had slightly dark skin, and looked quite ordinary, similar to the original book, a black boy.

"I, Han Li, greet the seniors," Han Li bowed deeply as he came in.

Upon seeing this, Zhong Lingdao hurriedly gave him a fake support and said, "Since you came here with the Ascension Order, you are now a disciple of my Huangfeng Valley. It's just that you came at a wrong time, alas..."

Han Li touched his nose and didn't interrupt.

Seeing this situation, Zhong Lingdao felt a bit of a headache and discussed with several other foundation-building managers, "Brothers, tell me, what should we do now? There are only ten foundation-building pills, and now there is one more disciple."

Senior Brother Wang said, "Since you have come with the Ascension Order, you must be given a disciple quota and a Foundation Establishment Pill. This is the rule of our Huangfeng Valley and cannot be broken."

"Then we can only draw one Foundation Establishment Pill from the previous ten disciples," said another Foundation Establishment manager.

“Then who takes the Foundation Establishment Pill and who doesn’t?” Yun Hao also said.

Senior Brother Wang said as a matter of course, "Then naturally the disciple with the worst aptitude and the lowest cultivation level will give up the Foundation Establishment Pill quota."

At this time, the old man named Ye, who had been sitting in the chair without saying anything, became a little restless and said, "This won't do! The quota for the Foundation Establishment Pill has already been allocated."

The main reason is that one of his nephews is among the ten candidates this time, and the qualifications of his nephew are not very good, and his cultivation level is also among the bottom few.

"The disciples recruited this time have the lowest cultivation qualifications." At this time, Zhong Lingdao, who was at the top, interrupted.

What you fear is bound to come true, the old man surnamed Ye thought secretly in his heart.

After hearing what Zhong Lingdao said, Senior Brother Wang said, "Those with the lowest aptitude for cultivation this time include the girl named Dong from the Dong family, the young man Lu from the Lu family, and the nephew of Junior Brother Ye."

"Girl Dong! Are you the female cultivator that Master Hongfu has chosen?" Zhong Lingdao asked.

"Yes, that's true," Senior Brother Wang said calmly.

"What about that kid named Lu?" Zhong Lingdao said again.

"Master, although the kid from the Lu family is only at the ninth level of Qi training, he is the one with wind-type spiritual roots among the disciples we recruited this time," Senior Brother Wang replied again.

Zhong Lingdao lowered his head and pondered for a while, then looked up at the old man surnamed Ye helplessly, "Junior Brother Ye, look..."

The old man surnamed Ye understood the implication of Zhong Ling's words, and he said anxiously, "The quota for the Foundation Establishment Pill was allocated several months ago, but now you are giving my nephew's quota to someone else. This is too far-fetched."

At this time, the scholar-like Foundation Building Manager who had never spoken before said slowly, "Junior Brother Ye, there is nothing we can do! Who could have thought that this once-in-a-century event would fall on Junior Brother's nephew's head? But no matter what, since someone has come with the Ascension Order, we can't just ignore it!"

The old man surnamed Ye looked at Han Li for a moment, then turned back and said, "He is just a casual cultivator and has a fake spiritual root. I think it would be better to just give him a chance to get started."
