Chapter 608: A Different Entrance Assessment
"I humbly request the Martial God to point out the way."
Jiang Yan said with a face full of respect as he bowed.
Chu Feng said unhurriedly, "As the saying goes: heavenly secrets must not be leaked. If you can pass this seat's trial and join my Wendao Sect, this seat will tell you the mystery within. If you wish to go down the mountain, this seat will not force you to stay."
Hearing these words, Jiang Yan revealed a look of conflict on his face. He was physically weak by nature and did not care much for cultivation, nor had he ever wanted to submit to any Martial God. His only wish at this moment was to let there be no more diseases in the world.
After a good while, Jiang Yan spoke up, "I dare to ask, Martial God, can you teach me the art of practicing medicine to save the world?"
"This is not difficult."
Chu Feng paused for a moment and then asked, "However, this seat wants to know, why do you want to learn this art of practicing medicine to save the world?"
"To be honest..."
Jiang Yan recounted his experiences from childhood to Chu Feng and spoke of the grand wish in his heart.
Chu Feng immediately gave him a thumbs-up, "Good. Since you have such a lofty ambition, once you become a disciple under this seat, this seat will naturally teach you what you desire."
Hearing this, Jiang Yan's face showed joy, and he said, "This junior is willing to accept the senior's assessment."
Chu Feng said to Ji Jiuwu who was nearby, "Jiuwu, starting tomorrow, you are to take Jiang Yan to complete our sect's assessment. Just handle it as you see fit."
"Your disciple obeys."
After responding, Ji Jiuwu turned his head to Jiang Yan nearby and said, "Fellow Daoist Jiang, come with me."
Chu Feng said with a smile, "There is no rush for you two to go down yet. There is still a little fellow on the road up the mountain; you two go outside and wait for it."
Hearing this, Ji Jiuwu revealed a look of curiosity. He cast his gaze toward Jiang Yan and asked, "Did you see that person on your way here?"
Jiang Yan shook his head, "After I entered the mist, I did not see any living beings. Perhaps it is because I arrived relatively early."
Chu Feng said, "You do not need to guess. The one coming is not a person."
As soon as these words were spoken, both Ji Jiuwu and Jiang Yan froze in place. However, the confusion on their faces quickly vanished, replaced by curiosity.
Especially Ji Jiuwu; he really wanted to know what exactly the first demon to enter this Wendao Sect was.
He then led Jiang Yan toward the outside of the main hall.
As time passed second by second, just as the sun was about to set, Ji Jiuwu and Jiang Yan suddenly heard the sound of clip-clopping footsteps.
The two looked up at the stone steps and saw a snow-white deer slowly walking up along the steps.
Seeing the two, the white deer immediately spoke, "Little Deer greets the two Immortal Elders."
"You know about Immortals?"
It was the first time Ji Jiuwu had heard the word "Immortal" from the mouth of a living being in this world, so he could not help but widen his eyes looking at the white deer before him.
"Replying to the Immortal Elder, Little Deer also learned in a dream that to obtain longevity, one must become an Immortal. That day, Little Deer saw purple energy descending upon this place and figured an Immortal must have descended from the heavens, so I came specifically to visit the Immortal Elder."
The white deer said respectfully.
Jiang Yan, who was to the side, was completely confused. He had never heard this word "Immortal" before, but it felt very formidable.
Ji Jiuwu said, "I am no Immortal Elder; my master is. If you wish to bow to a master and learn skills, come with us two to meet my master."
Hearing this, the white deer revealed a look of great joy and immediately said, "Please, Immortal Master, lead the way for this small one."
The two people and one deer returned to the main hall once more. The white deer looked at the extraordinary arrangement within the hall, its eyes were transfixed.
A moment later, Ji Jiuwu's voice sounded by its ears again, "Master, your disciple has brought the destined deer."
Hearing this, the white deer subconsciously looked forward. It took only one glance, and its legs instantly went soft, dropping to its knees with a thud.
It had traveled the Four Seas and Eight Wastelands and seen Martial Gods and Demon Emperors, but it had never seen a man with such drifting Immortal aura as the one before it. Especially the light of luck emitting from the other party gave it a feeling of not belonging to this world.
"Little Deer greets the Immortal Master."
"Dispense with the courtesy."
Chu Feng looked at the snow-white deer before him and could not help but light up. The light of luck emitting from the other party was actually not inferior to Ji Jiuwu and Jiang Yan. Could it be that it is the representative of the auspicious beast of this world?
"Thank you, Immortal Elder."
The white deer felt that this Immortal Elder before it had no ill intentions, so it let out a long sigh of relief in its heart.
Chu Feng asked, "You wish to acknowledge this seat as your master?"
"Correct."
The white deer said with a face full of respect.
Chu Feng asked unhurriedly, "The Dao cannot be lightly transmitted. Furthermore, I am the teacher of the human race, and you are of the demon race. Why should this seat teach you Immortal techniques?"
Hearing this, the white deer could not help but feel its heart skip a beat, but it quickly reacted. The Immortal Master was testing it, not rejecting it.
After rolling its eyes a few times, a sentence quickly flashed through its mind, "The Immortal Master once said that there is teaching without discrimination. Although Little Deer is of the demon race, I have never done anything to harm heaven and earth. I believe the Immortal Master will accept me as a disciple."
Hearing this, the corners of Chu Feng's mouth rose slightly, "Accepting you as a disciple is not impossible. Wait until you transform into a human form, then you may acknowledge this seat as your master. Before that, you are to follow Jiuwu daily to practice the breathing technique. This seat will preach on the first and fifteenth of every month, and you may also come to listen to the scriptures."
Hearing this, the white deer revealed a look of ecstasy and hurriedly said, "Many thanks, Immortal Master."
"Alright, you may all withdraw."
Chu Feng waved his hand, and then his entire person disappeared from the spot.
Ji Jiuwu then arranged for the one human and one deer to stay within the Wendao Sect.
The Wendao Sect gained two new faces, and the sect became lively as a result.
However, Chu Feng's life did not have too many changes. On this day, after Ji Jiuwu finished cultivating, he asked, "Master, when will you accept Ah Yan as a disciple?"
"Do you want to be a senior brother that badly?"
Chu Feng asked with a smile.
Ji Jiuwu said, "That is not it. Your disciple just feels that Jiang Yan's character is not bad, and one day he will surely make his name known across the Four Seas and Eight Wastelands. That is why I asked."
"Soon."
After throwing down these two words, Chu Feng discussed the matter no further.
Hearing this, Ji Jiuwu went immediately to tell Jiang Yan the good news.
At this moment, Jiang Yan was tasting a flower he had never seen before, wanting to see what effect this flower had.
Ji Jiuwu entered the door and saw this familiar scene, but he did not interrupt him. Instead, he waited until Jiang Yan swallowed that beautiful flower before speaking, "Ah Yan, I have good news for you."
Before his voice had even fallen, Jiang Yan's face in the courtyard suddenly turned a dark purple color. His whole face revealed a pained expression, and then he fell to the ground with a thud.
Seeing this scene, Ji Jiuwu's face changed drastically. He hurriedly ran toward the courtyard where his master was located. In less than ten breaths of time, he ran to the outside of his master's courtyard door and shouted toward the inside, "Master, something terrible has happened!"
