If he didn’t guess wrong, this boy’s cultivation base should have reached the Foundation Establishment Late-stage, which was almost the same as his. Just as Lin Xuan was thinking about it, the Red-Haired Ancestor suddenly retracted his Spiritual Sense and even closed his eyes, as if he had fallen into a meditation.

Everyone couldn’t help but be stunned, but at this moment, Daoist Master Ku Mu stood up and looked at the three Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators including Lin Xuan, and then calmly said, “The red-haired senior came here to recruit a servant from among the cultivators at the Foundation Establishment Stage. I wonder which of my three little friends will obtain this opportunity.”

“What?! A servant? Didn’t the Red-Haired Ancestor want to find an apprentice to pass his mantle? “

Lin Xuan and Tian Xiaojian were still silent, but Xu Han who appeared both anxious and angry spoke furiously.

“Oh, I am afraid that the rumors outside are wrong!”

The Sect Master still had a kind look on his face, but he looked like a sly old fox.

Xu Han still wanted to say something. However, the expert of the Core Formation Stage who looked slightly similar to him, said: “Well, Han’er, it’s normal to spread false rumors. You must have made a mistake.”

In You Prefecture, the Xu family was also quite a large Immortal Cultivation Family, but it was naturally far from being comparable with the strength of the Heavenly Vision Sect. Not to mention, if they continued to tangle with each other, it might irritate the Red-Haired Ancestor, which would bring an unimaginable disaster to the Xu Clan.

“Yes, third uncle.”

Xu Han was not an idiot either. After a moment of pondering, he understood the powerful relationship between the two of them and quickly retreated obediently.

The Sect Master sighed in his heart. When he received a letter of coercion and intimidation from both factions of the Righteous and Demonic Dao and was extremely exhausted, the Red-Haired Ancestor suddenly came to visit.

Of course, the Sect Master received him carefully. Even if he was of the Heavenly Vision Sect, he didn’t dare to offend this prodigy of a Rogue Cultivator. However, the Red-Haired Ancestor showed a Token. It turned out that when he was a Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator, he formed a reciprocal relationship with a member of the Heavenly Vision Sect.

After discovering this relationship, the Sect Master was naturally overjoyed. The benefits of being acquainted with a Nascent Soul Stage Expert were self-evident.

If he could use his glib tongue to persuade him to become an elder of the Heavenly Vision Sect, the problem in front of him would be easily solved.

Therefore, the Sect Master was very considerate to this elder. However, just as he revealed his intention to win him over, the Red-Haired Ancestor refused without hesitation.

He was used to being free like a wild crane, so how could he be willing to be bound by a sect? Moreover, he was clear about his own affairs. Although he was lucky enough to condense a Nascent Soul because of all kinds of coincidences, he was definitely far from being able to match the Extreme Demon Venerable with his middle-stage cultivation base. As for the Big Three, they had a large number of people and four elders of the Nascent Soul Stage. How could he compete with them alone?

Joining the Heavenly Vision Sect, there would be countless cons but no pros. So naturally, the grandmaster with red hair would not bind himself to it.

However, although this old man had a strange temper, he had a clear distinction between kindness and resentment. In the past, he had received a great favor from his friend of the Heavenly Vision Sect, so he immediately proposed to accept a disciple at the Foundation Establishment Stage as compensation.

The reason why he chose the Foundation Establishment Stage was that their cultivation was not deep, and they were more flexible. The disciples of the Core Formation Stage even had their own Natal Magic Artifact, so it was very difficult for them to inherit his legacy.

Although he couldn’t invite the other party to join the sect, this result was still a great joy to him. He immediately gathered his best sect disciples of the Foundation Establishment Stage to let the Red-Haired Ancestor choose.

However, after the test, the results made the Heavenly Vision Sect frustrated. Although they were also practicing a Cultivation Method of the Righteous Path. The Cultivation Method of the sect’s emphasis was on entering the Mortal World. This was incompatible and conflicting with the Red-Haired Ancestor. In other words, it was impossible for the old man to pick someone from the sect to inherit his mantle.

Although it was a pity, it was time to stop here.

However, no one knew who opened his mouth and talked nonsense. He actually leaked the news and spread it to the public. In the end, it turned out to be that the Red-Haired Ancestor wanted to accept a practitioner at the Foundation Establishment Stage as his disciple. Anyone in the Foundation Establishment Stage had a chance as long as they earned the qualification to participate in the exchange meeting of masters at the Core Formation Stage.

When Daoist Master Ku Mu and the Red-Haired Ancestor were informed of the incident, the news had already been widely spread. The two were naturally shocked and furious. But it was hard to take it back.

However, although this Red Haired Ancestor was eccentric, he was a very faithful person. One of the things he feared most in his life was that others would say that he broke his promise.

Although he didn’t say it, the question is whether everyone believed it!

The Sect Master found it even more troublesome. The Heavenly Vision Sect had already fetched water with a sieve. Now there was a big accident. The Red-Haired Ancestor looked quite displeased. If it weren’t for the fact that he was repaying a deep favor. The Heavenly Vision Sect would have been in great trouble even before the Extreme Demon Venerable arrived.

What to do?

The best way, of course, was to turn the big matter into a small one.

There was no way to explain the rumors, so the Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators would be reluctant to retreat. Therefore, the qualification screening for the Trade Fair this time was so abnormal. On the surface, the objective was to take the Wood Spirit Fruit, but in fact, they wanted everyone to kill each other.

The Sect Master still underestimated the temptation of the Nascent Soul Stage to the Low-Rank cultivators, and finally, three people stood out.

In the end, the Red-Haired Ancestor thought of a solution. Since the cause was due to rumors, then he might as well attack poison with poison. He said that he didn’t want to accept a disciple, but he needed a servant. The change was very small, but the meaning was completely different. Anyway, the rumors would sometimes go wrong, and they could not say he was violating his promise.

Everything was planned, but after entering and seeing Lin Xuan and Tian Xiaojian in the hall, the Old Ancestor’s mind was active again. Now he was seven hundred years old, and the lifespan of a cultivator in the Nascent Soul Stage was nearly a thousand years. He was neither old nor young. In short, it’s time to find someone to inherit his legacy.

At first, he was angry with the rumors, but now that he saw Lin Xuan and Tian Xiaojian. At such a young age, they had reached the Foundation Establishment Late-stage. They were really talented in cultivation. It would be a good choice if he could accept these two people as his disciples.
