Chapter 1598 – Master Wuding
It was not just becoming an inner disciple of a faction led by a Peerless Ruler, but the inner disciple of a Supreme Daoism Faction.
It would simply grant Qin Nan an incredible status in any place across the entire Shangxingtian Small Immortal Realm.
That being said, even cultivators who had mastered three of the Four Extremities and had an Immortal Root in their bodies would still have to go through lots of challenging trials to become an inner disciple.
The woman had attempted the trials three times, but she had failed all her attempts.
"Maybe it's only because of Brother Qiu Hong. Even a person with a Natal Rare Phenomenon Immortal Root can at most be recruited as an outer disciple, with an extra allocation of resources."
The woman quickly collected her thoughts. Not only did she not have a different impression of Qin Nan, she actually held a grudge against him.
She only tried to befriend Qiu Hong just so she could become an inner disciple, to secure her a bright future.
However, it turned out that this guy called Qin Nan had taken her spot instead.
"Elder, I'm sorry, I won't be joining any faction for now."
Qin Nan shook his head and rejected the offer firmly.
"You…you're not willing to join us?"
The Third Elder, the middle-aged man, and the woman in a blue outfit were utterly stunned. They even thought they had heard it wrong.
Did he seriously just reject such a great offer that was presented right in front of him?
"Cultivator, are you sure about that? Some chances won't return again once you've missed them."
The Third Elder's tone immediately turned cold.
As the woman in the blue outfit had speculated, he was only willing to recruit Qin Nan as an inner disciple because he was Qin Nan's big brother.
He could let Qiu Hong owe him a favor while recruiting the new disciple, he was planning to kill two birds with one stone.
However, he was not too pleased with Qin Nan's attitude.
If it wasn't for Qiu Hong, would he seriously give such a great offer?
Even so, the man had rejected his offer?
Even if you were Qiu Hong's big brother, you should still be aware of the situation you were in.
Qiu Hong's lips twisted. He then spoke indifferently, "Third Elder, it's no use, he won't even consider becoming a core disciple, he has already achieved the Dao…"
"The Four Extremities."
It was incredibly shocking for anyone in the Earth God Realm to achieve the Dao Realm, thus it was not necessarily a smart thing to reveal it now.
"Four…Four Extremities?"
The Third Elder, the middle-aged man, and the woman were dumbfounded. Their faces were filled with disbelief.
Either way, they would never think that Qin Nan was a Peerless Genius.
"You've really been hiding it well, I'm sorry for not being to recognize it with my clumsy eyes."
The Third Elder's grudge and unpleasantness dissipated instantly. It was replaced by an awkward smile.
A Peerless Genius could easily become a core disciple in any Supreme Daoism Factions, let alone just a mere inner disciple.
"That's fine, elder."
Qin Nan waved his hand.
"We will be excusing ourselves then."
The Third Elder and the middle-aged man said awkwardly and left as they were unwilling to stay around any further.
"Brother…Brother Nan."
The woman in the blue outfit started to wear a pale face too. She immediately acted more courteously.
She was terrified when she recalled the thoughts she had just a moment ago.
Otherwise, she did not express her thoughts. Otherwise, she would be in great trouble.
Qin Nan glanced at her noddingly before he said, "Qin Nan, what's the job you've found?"
Qiu Hong straightened his face and said, "Brother Nan, there are three quests available this time, I haven't made the decision still, you can take a look at them."
He flicked his finger and inserted a stream of information into Qin Nan's mind.
"The Supreme Elder of the faction led by the South World Immortal Emperor, Master Wuding is holding a feast to celebrate his thousandth birthday. Attend the feast representing our faction in good behavior, the reward is two Heaven God Pills."
"Long Xuanling of the Heaven Illusionary Ancestor Sect has achieved the Earth Immortal Realm and mastered the Four Extremities. He has become a disciple of a Peerless Ruler, and is holding a feast to celebrate it. Anyone that attends will be rewarded an Emperor Supreme Badge."
"Among the three thousand small worlds, the Sacredless Realm is having a realm war, go and lend…"
Qiu Hong had carefully selected the three quests from the pile that was available.
Not only would they be able to improve their cultivation and obtain benefits from attempting the quests, they could also meet the Peerless Geniuses, elders, and other people from the Shangxingtian Small Immortal Realm or some other Immortal Realms.
"Long Xuanling!"
Qin Nan's eyes flickered murderously when he saw the second quest.
He did not expect Long Xuanling would be able to achieve the Earth Immortal Realm and master the Four Extremities so soon.
If he continued to rank up to the Heaven Immortal Realm, he was basically a Peerless Ruler.
"Let's take the first quest."
Qin Nan soon calmed his thoughts and said.
The first quest would allow him to see if the South World Immortal Emperor was actually the Peerless Ruler behind the South-Heaven Gate.
He did not choose the second quest as his cultivation was still too weak for now.
If he went, he would simply get himself killed like a lamb presenting itself to a tiger.
"Brother Nan, I'll need three days to prepare for this quest. Please wait for me here."
Saying this, Qiu Hong transmitted his voice and said, "When I come to the Sky Taihuang Sect, I've acquired the first volume of the Art of Dao Seeking. I can pass it to a person with some special methods."
"If Brother Nan is interested in it, you can check it out."
Before Qin Nan could speak, he handed him a scroll and left with the woman.
"Art of Dao Seeking? This Qiu Hong is pretty bold."
Qin Nan's eyes flickered with astonishment as his heart felt a surge of warmth.
The Art of Dao Seeking and the Dao Seeking Land were the core resources of a Supreme Daoism Faction.
Even the Blessed Immortal Lands were not as important.
As such, every Supreme Daoism Faction had greatly restricted the disciples from leaking the Art of Dao Seeking to outsiders. It was a great taboo, and the offense was more serious than betraying the sect.
Even though he was unsure what method had Qiu Hong used to record the art and give it to him, he could easily tell how risky it was.
If anything went wrong, Qiu Hong would surely be doomed.
"I must warn him not to do it again."
Qin Nan murmured and performed a hand seal to lay down various kinds of forbidding formations.
He inspected the scroll with his Divine Sense.
He was not planning to practice the art, but only to check it out.
If the Art of Dao Seeking was really extremely useful to him, he would not mind joining the Supreme Daoism Faction to obtain it himself.
Thud!
As soon as his Divine Sense entered the scroll, a loud chime that seemed to have originated from over ten thousand years ago slowly echoed in his mind.
The god force in his body immediately shuddered. The Dao Crystal started glowing as if it was being summoned.
