Forging Immortality through the Dao Seed

"On behalf of all the brothers and sisters in the Luodu team, I welcome you to join us!" Zhang Yangchu smiled at Zhang Jing, his tone earnest.

"From now on, I will need the help of Senior Brother Yangchu."

Zhang Jing responded with a smile as well, speaking politely.

"By the way, Junior Brother," Zhang Yangchu seemed to suddenly remember something and asked hurriedly, "You have been away from home for about a month, right? It's a few days away from the Changan Festival in Nanli."

"If you want to go home, you can go with those people who did not pass the examination when the Dao Institute sends them back."

Go home?

Zhang Jing immediately pictured the scene of his parents repeatedly advising him before he set off.

"Yes, I should go home. Thank you for reminding me, Senior Brother Yangchu."

He said gratefully.

"There's no need to be polite, Junior Brother."

As he finished saying this,

Zhang Yangchu directly took out a yellow talisman and a small white jade bottle, handed them to Zhang Jing, and explained:

"Junior Brother, after you come back, I'll lead you to Luodu Island, where you will have your own cultivation cave and the opportunity to exchange for a middle-grade legacy. This is the Purple Spirit Pill that I promised you. It's just in time for your cultivation journey back home."

"After all, the spiritual energy outside is not as abundant as in the Dao Institute."

"This is a communication talisman. After you come back, you can use your spiritual power to stimulate it and then you can get in touch with me."

...

...

On the other side.

A beautiful woman walked through the crowd and went straight to Ji Bochang's side, smiling sweetly as she said:

"Junior Brother, you worked hard today."

Hearing this, Ji Bochang's face fell as he looked at the woman's attractive face. "I'm sorry, Senior Sister! I only got fifteen people this time," he said in a low voice.

"It's okay, Junior Brother," the woman said softly, comforting Ji Bochang by taking his hand. "We understand. Who could have expected the competition in this generation to be so intense? Especially those three, their demonstrated strength truly exceeded the norm."

As she said this, a puzzled expression appeared on the Senior Sister's face.

"Those two Class A monsters are understandable, but where did that abnormal junior brother who ranked third come from?"

"Well, even if he's powerful, it doesn't concern us. By the way, where's that junior brother you mentioned? Considering the unusual rules this time, if he ranks within the top thirty, the condition that Senior Sister previously promised you still stands."

Hearing this, Ji Bochang's face turned slightly uncomfortable.

He pointed to the third stage:

"…Senior Sister, the friend I mentioned is the same abnormal junior brother you were just talking about."

"Ah? He's the junior brother you were talking about!"

Senior Sister suddenly widened her eyes in surprise. She looked at Ji Bochang and complained:

"Junior Brother, why didn't you tell me earlier?"

"I was not aware of it earlier..." Ji Bochang's eyes flashed with embarrassment. "After all, Senior Sister, you know, I spent most of my time with you--"

Before he could finish his sentence, Ji Bochang's mouth was covered by the blushing senior sister.

A delicate voice like a mosquito's buzzing rose up.

"Junior Brother, don't say it."

It was only after Ji Bochang nodded his head vigorously that the hand covering his mouth was slowly removed.

"Senior Sister, should I take you over now to see if you can convince him to join our Five-color Team?" Ji Bochang cautiously asked.

"No... It's not necessary."

Senior Sister managed a smile. She pointed to Zhang Yangchu on the third stage and whispered:

"Junior Brother, do you know who he is?"

"Who?"

"He is Senior Brother Zhang Yangchu, who represents the third-ranked Luodu team of the Outer Academy. Your friend, if nothing goes wrong, will join the Luodu team. So, why should we go over there?"

After speaking, the Senior Sister seriously reminded him:

"Junior Brother, having such a friend is a rare opportunity, you must cherish it."

"Don't worry, Senior Sister. I, Bochang, understand." Ji Bochang said with a faint smile.

He hurriedly took out a communication talisman and poured his spiritual power into it.

The next moment, the Communication Talisman gave off a faint light, followed by fluctuations of spiritual sense from within.

After a long time passed,

the communication talisman gradually dimmed, and Ji Bochang kept it with a regretful look.

"Junior Brother, what was that?"

The Senior Sister asked, puzzled at the sight.

"Senior Sister, you don't know. Brother Zhang and I are from the same place, but he was born into an ordinary family. What I just did was to introduce Brother Zhang's performance in the Dao Institute examination to my family elders, and I think they are probably on the way to Zhang's house."

Ji Bochang was well aware of the current situation.

The rise of his Brother Zhang was astonishing.

Now that he has joined Luodu Team, the third-ranked team, he thought that not just him, but even if all the resources the Ji Family could come up with were out, it might not necessarily be appreciated by Zhang Jing.

That is to say, they can no longer provide Zhang Jing with much cultivation assistance.

But—

The Ji Family could still build a good rapport with Zhang Jing's parents and help them solve worldly problems. This way, Zhang Jing can concentrate on his cultivation, and it could also be seen as earning a favor for the Ji Family.

"From an ordinary family?"

Senior Sister's face revealed a trace of surprise.

As expected, the rookies of this time are all monsters!

But then,

"This Dao Institute examination has come to a satisfying conclusion. Tomorrow morning, all new Dao Institute students should come to the Legacy Pavilion to receive their robes and identity jade pendants,"

Said Liu's resounding voice.

On top of the giant stone pillar,

Several bright escape lights scattered in all directions,

...

...

Yong'an City, Zhang's Pharmacy.

"Doctor Zhang, you keep saying 'tomorrow, tomorrow'. When will your son come back? I'm just a runner, why are you giving me such a hard time?"
